I teach kendo in the ninja world

Despite the fact that the detonating talisman shells are so powerful that even Kisame's water formation wall can barely defend them, but if used to attack Araki and Zabuza, they won't be that effective.

Because they were so flexible, the waves that kept exploding around them could not hinder their speed at all. After a while, the pirate ship was already close at hand.

At this distance, Araki could already clearly see the figure of the captain standing alone on the bow of the ship.

"If this outfit were replaced by a straw hat, I would definitely run away without saying a word!"

Araki secretly complained in his heart that his mustache and Western trench coat style look too much like One Piece.

"Captain Roger, the cannonballs are useless! They have already rushed over!"

As Araki and the two jumped onto the deck of the pirate ship, the unscrupulous pirates screamed in terror.

However, when he heard their names, Araki almost missed the mark.

He steadied himself and looked at the man called "Captain Roger" with very complicated eyes.

"How dare you come up with such a naughty name?"

Captain Roger, who was being watched, thought Araki was afraid, so he raised his rapier and said proudly:

"Kid, are you intimidated by Captain Roger's reputation? Hahahaha, don't worry, I will let you die without any pain!"

After that, he took a step forward, his legs moved forward and back in a lunge posture, and the thin sword in his hand thrust straight out.

Lunge straight thrust!

A standard fencing action.

Araki waved his sword to block, and the two swords clashed, and found that the strength of this "Captain Roger" was not weak.

"interesting!"

It was rare to encounter an enemy with a sword in actual combat. Araki became a little more interested and shouted to Zabuza:

"Leave this captain to me, you can take care of the others yourself!"

After saying that, he also grasped the hilt of the sword with his left hand, exerted force with both arms, and slashed forward suddenly.

boom!

The huge force directly knocked back "Captain Roger", and his back hit the side of the ship with a muffled sound.

"Don't you know? A sword is stronger if you hold it with two hands and swing it than if you hold it with one hand! Don't you want me to die painlessly? Come on!"

Araki grinned, his fighting spirit high.

"Damn brat!"

Roger moved his injured back slightly, his expression gloomy.

As a senior pirate, through the previous confrontation, he had already judged that he was far from Araki's opponent, not to mention that such a close distance was enough for him to see clearly the Kirigakure forehead protector Araki wore around his neck.

"A ninja from Kirigakure? You were careless this time!"

But as a pirate, he doesn't follow the rules of single combat.

"Little ones, come up with me!"

At the captain's call, dozens of pirate crew members swarmed forward with scimitars and axes, and attacked Araki from all directions.

"Ooh oh oh oh -"

"Hack him to death!!"

"Red Beard Pirates, kill!"

Captain Roger himself put his left hand deep into his arms, took out a few solid iron beads the size of table tennis balls, which were also covered with detonating charms, and then threw them towards Araki.

"Hahaha, die, kid!"

Captain Roger laughed wildly.

Zheng!

A clear and sweet sword sound sounded. Araki leaned back, turned his wrist, and drew the long sword in a complete arc.

An invisible sword light spread out, very thin, like a circle of shallow ripples caused by a drop of water falling into the sea, spreading rapidly around in a circle.

The circular sword light spread out for more than ten meters and then gradually dissipated. Everything around it, whether it was pirates or cannonballs, was at a standstill.

puff, puff...

The sound of falling to the ground came one after another, and a dozen pirates around him fell to the ground one after another. Red blood flowed freely on the deck, and the half-burned detonating symbols were cut directly from the middle, destroying the overall structure, and the explosion could not .

[Chopping Waves and Ring Breaking]!

Captain Roger suddenly broke out in cold sweat when he saw this scene, and his smile froze on his face.

"Is there anything funny that you can tell me to make me happy?"

At this moment, a soft word sounded in his ears, accompanied by a sword chant.

Boo!

The sword traced an arc, and a bloodstain slowly emerged from his right shoulder to his left hip. Captain Roger's laughter stopped abruptly, and after struggling with a "ho ho" in his throat, he fell to the ground.

"Are you worthy of being called Roger?"

Araki shook off the blood on the sword blade, looked at the cabin behind which was completely shrouded in thick fog, and did not choose to go in to assist Zabuza.

This was obviously the [Kigakure no Jutsu] cast by Zabuza. There, Zabuza could only identify his position by listening to the sound. If he also stepped into the battlefield, there might be an oolong incident.

So he just shouted inside: "Zabuza, be careful to leave one alive!"

This is what he suddenly thought of.

Although this group of pirates is no match for their team, the power of these detonating talisman shells is still quite powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a rare opponent in a naval battle.

And the most important thing is that the detonating talisman is not a cheap material like kunai or shuriken. In terms of power alone, it can even be comparable to the advanced fire escape ninjutsu released by jounin, so the price is also extremely expensive.

The reward I got from a C-level mission was barely enough to buy one.

After all, for ninjas who generally have high attack and low defense, if they are hit by an explosive talisman unprepared, they are not far away from death. It is natural that such a powerful weapon is more expensive.

But look at this pirate group. Each of their cannonballs has at least two or three detonating symbols attached to them, and the cannonballs are fired as if they are free. Araki is almost heartbroken when he comes back to his senses.

Those are all their seizures!

With so many detonating talismans, if you take them back and sell them, you might be able to buy a long sword made of chakra conductive metal!

So with the idea of ​​not suffering a loss, Araki decided to visit the lairs of these pirates. There might be more wealth waiting for them there.

Whether you can become rich overnight depends on this wave!

Perhaps it was because he had been beaten frequently by Araki recently, but Zabuza still valued Araki's words.

After a while, the screams slowly stopped, and the thick fog that enveloped the entire deck and cabin gradually dissipated. Zabuza, with some blood on his body, walked to Araki carrying an unconscious pirate with one hand.

"No, this is a living thing. What do you want to do?"

"Of course we're going to rob their lair!"

Araki said matter-of-factly, "Look, they have so many detonating talismans on the ship. They are obviously very rich! The harvest from a robbery might be enough for us to do an A-level mission!"

Zabuza was a little moved after hearing this. He was also a commoner. Although ninjas make money quickly, they also spend money quickly. It is naturally a good thing to have extra income.

"Okay, wake this person up first and ask them where their lair is. I'll go back and talk to Captain Kisame to plan the trip."

After Araki finished speaking, he jumped off the pirate ship.

At this time, everyone on the merchant ship except Kisame was hiding in the cabin, which made it convenient for them to talk.

"Going to the pirate's lair to search for supplies?"

Kisame thought for a while and felt that there was no problem. No one would give up the opportunity to easily make a fortune.

"But we need to get the client back first."

This is natural, not because it is dangerous to take them there, but because it is best not to let others know about their private work during the mission.

There is no financial monitoring system in Kirigakure Village, and their sudden wealth will not attract much attention.But if they are reported by others as secretly doing private work during the execution of their mission, they may be punished by the village.

After all, this kind of thing may affect the reputation of Kirigakure Village.
