Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Chapter 432 Heading to the Country of Waves

The situation that I first inquired about was similar to what Bai Mingyu expected.

Starting more than a year ago, Cardo Company used various methods of coercion and inducement to acquire a large number of ships from the residents of the Country of Waves, thereby controlling the entire country's shipping channels.

Not only did the residents of the island have their personal freedom restricted, they were also forcibly requisitioned by the Cardo Company and worked for him at extremely low wages.

This approach naturally caused dissatisfaction among the residents of the Land of Waves.

However, under the pressure of many mafia, all resistance actions were suppressed immediately. Among them, Dazna's son-in-law Kesha secretly assembled a group of young and strong youths to overthrow the high-pressure rule of the Cardo Group through force. , but before the operation even started, the news came out. The furious Cardo destroyed the stronghold where this group of young adults secretly gathered, and publicly executed Kesha in front of the residents of the entire island.

This incident happened a few months ago.

Kesha's tragic experience made the people of the Country of Waves completely lose their determination to resist.

Most people honestly accepted the arrangement of Kado Company and worked day and night to help Kado in exchange for the meager salary that was like charity. The rule of the Cardo Group has made the living conditions of the people in the Country of Waves worse and worse. Some young children have become malnourished, sallow and thin, and many adults are also hungry.

Under such circumstances, the idea of ​​not being reconciled to the status quo gradually grew in the psychology of some people.

Such as Dazna.

This well-known bridge design expert in the Kingdom of Water even took a sum of money with him and planned to quietly leave the Kingdom of Waves and go to Konoha to seek assistance.

then

He just disappeared.

I don’t know which day I lost contact with him after I left home, but the money I originally wanted to use to publish the mission was still left at home.

This was confirmed by the ice clone in person at Dazuna's house.

Now, only an orphan and a widowed mother are left in Dazna's family, and their life is extremely poor.

After confirming these circumstances, the ice clone searched around the island, quickly locked on to the Cardo Company's stronghold, and then sneaked in secretly.

Although Cardo hired many mafiosi and wandering ninjas, the average strength of these subordinates was not high, and Depakuten was at Zabuza's level.

With mental arithmetic and no care, with the strength of the ice clone, it is possible to sneak in without anyone noticing, and even if a suitable opportunity is found, it is not impossible to destroy Cardo's stronghold in one go. Bai Mingyu judged this, and the ice clone had the same idea.

but

This judgment happened unexpectedly.

Almost as soon as the ice clone sneaked in, he encountered the patrols inside the stronghold. He was exposed under the fierce attack of the latter, and then fell into the encirclement and suppression of a large number of ninjas.

I don’t know where Cardo got such a large number of ninjas from. They all have the strength of elite chuunin or above. They fought hand to hand in the narrow passage, causing a lot of trouble to the ice clone for a while, and they had to forcefully bombard them. Breaking through the wall, they launched a blanket bombardment against the group of ninjas with overwhelming ice spears and snow swords.

With such a big commotion, it is obviously impossible to act quietly.

So the ice clone simply let go of its hands and feet, constantly using large-scale ice escape to open the way, and eliminate all the ninjas under Cardo encountered along the way.

After defeating dozens of ninjas in one breath, when the ice clone went deep into the stronghold, he suddenly encountered a series of sneak attacks from blind spots, and was dispersed by a violent ninjutsu attack before he had time to react.

The scene in my memory also ended abruptly here.

"What happened just now?"

Bai Mingyu opened his eyes suddenly, with a strange look on his face.

The ice clone improved based on the principle of shadow clone has the same characteristics as the shadow clone. When the damage sustained by the body exceeds a certain limit, it will automatically dissipate. But if you want to break up his ice clone, you need at least a full blow from an elite jounin like Kakashi, otherwise even a sneak attack will not be able to do this.

Cardo's men

There are actually elite jounin level ninjas

This possibility is quite slim. Generally speaking, ninjas who reach the level of elite Jonin are often the mainstay of a village, just like Kakashi and Gai of Konoha, or the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village. Even if they defect from their original ninja village, a ninja of this level of strength can still earn money by accepting commissions, or simply become a bounty hunter like Kakuzu.

Either way, it is much more cost-effective than working for Kado.

If Zabuza hadn't failed to assassinate the Mizukage and was wanted by the Kirigakure Village's assassination force, he probably wouldn't have fallen into the hands of Kado.

but now

"Who could it be, a renegade ninja from another village?"

I don't know if it was a psychological illusion. Bai Mingyu didn't see what the person who attacked him looked like from his memory, but the feeling at the moment when the ice clone was broken up felt inexplicably familiar.

just like

The attacker is someone he knows

Moreover, the strength and angle at that moment were also very precise. It seemed that the location where the ice clone would appear had been predicted a long time ago, and then he stayed there in advance, waiting to deliver a fatal blow. A ninja who could do this, if not Having gone through hundreds of battles and having rich practical experience, he must be someone who understands Bai Mingyu's habits.

The ice clone could not see the other party's appearance until the moment it was broken up, which seemed to confirm this.

"Don't you want to be recognized by me?"

Bai Mingyu thought for a moment and couldn't remember when he had ever made enemies with such a person.

However, the fact that the ice clone was dispersed by others is not something that can be easily solved. Since the clone's action failed, the main body can only take the trip in person.

"Quan, I'll go out in a while."

Bai Mingyu quickly put on his clothes, washed up, and said to Quan who was making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Well" the black-haired girl looked back after hearing the sound and tilted her head: "Is there something important? Do you need my help? My magnetic escape is already very powerful now. If you want to fight, you can I’m here to help you.”

"Need not."

Bai Mingyu smiled, shook his head and said, "Just stay at home with peace of mind. I'll leave an ice clone here for a while. If anyone asks, just say I'm still sleeping. Don't worry, it's just some trivial things. If everything goes well, it will be resolved within two days.”

The black-haired girl flattened her mouth and nodded helplessly: "Okay, be careful on the road."
