Vol 6 Chapter 5: Prelude
"I'm about to arrive at the place that Hokage-sama ordered, and I don't know what's there..."
Shishui is now on the deck of a ship, staring at the sea in the distance.
Since it is about Odin, the island named Avalon has the highest intelligence level in Konoha. At present, the entire Konoha is not clear about what is there except for their Sannin.
Even if Shishui was Jiraiya's disciple, Orochimaru didn't say more about the mission goal.
Even if Shishui once saw Odin in Konoha's different space, and also knew some secrets about the dragon family, he still did not have the qualifications to know that intelligence.
But it wasn't a hard thing for him.
Follow the orders and complete the task, this is the meaning of the ninja, he doesn't need to know what the inside story is, just follow the order of Lord Naruto to probe it.
At this moment, he stood quietly, relaxing his body, and using the surging sea water to wash away the exhaustion of the previous battles.
Seeing the blue waves lightly beating the sea, Zhishui took a deep breath.
Looking at this endless sea, it seems that even the soul has sublimated.
Speaking of which, Zhi Shui is only in his teens now, and if he were someone of his age, if he went into the war like him, he would probably not be able to bear the pressure long ago.
With the improvement of strength, Zhishui also grows with the mind.
With his strength, there is no problem in surviving in today's increasingly dangerous world, but Zhishui has never been a person who only cared about himself. He still has his family, and he still has a village.
Seeing getting closer, Zhishui quietly left a shadow clone without anyone noticing, and then the main body quietly left the ship. He suddenly jumped from above to the sea, and his feet lightly tapped On the top, ripples were stirred up.
In fact, this ship originally belonged to Konoha, and it was also the tool responsible for transporting Shishui to its destination, but he knew that Lord Hokage didn't seem to want the possible island to be exposed, so he decided to take a look at it alone. Just fine.
He burst out at a speed that was much faster than the voyage of a ship and galloped at sea. When he was ready to reach his destination, he only needed to glance at it from a distance.
However, not long after he galloped, he found that the weather at sea suddenly changed. The originally bright noon sun was instantly obscured by dark clouds, and lightning like claws fell from the sky, as if it had struck the distant sea.
A storm was gathering, and the sea became violent under this sudden gust of wind. In front of Zhishui, a large piece of sea water seemed to be boiling, and a huge ocean current whirlpool was formed around a certain point.
At this time, looking from a distance, the center of the vortex seemed to be right below the center of the dark cloud. A large number of lightning fell, smashing into the vortex one after another, adding an indescribable terror to the world.
It was almost at this moment that Zhishui discovered the abnormality here. After several wars, he would never believe that such a coincidence happened in this world——
This kind of thing happened as soon as I came here, no matter how I looked at it, it seemed that someone was arranging all this!
If Aizen hadn't been sealed, he would even suspect that he had fallen into this man's trap.
Forcibly suppressing his inner curiosity, he gave up his plan to explore what happened in the whirlpool, and went straight back to the ship.
However, before turning around, he still opened the writing wheel, ready to observe what was in the center of the whirlpool.
This long distance is the foundation of Zhishui. His eyes revealed a little scarlet, and finally formed a kaleidoscope pattern. At this moment, the world in his eyes became extremely clear, and he looked at the vortex shrouded in dark clouds and lightning. , Through these obstacles, he felt more and more that the vortex seemed to be isolated from the normal world.
It was as if, surrounded by lightning, the door to another world was slowly opening...
At this moment, he found an island that was neither huge nor small at the very center of the whirlpool. It seemed that some great force had cut off layers of seawater around it, making that area highlight the island's beauty. exist.
But even with the enhancement of the Kaleidoscope Shaker, he still sees very blurry, as if the space is folded together.
Vaguely, he saw that the island in front of him revealed a life that was completely different from the dead place in the outside world. No matter how noisy the outside world was, the thunder and lightning continued to pass, and the sea stirred up huge waves, which could not affect the island. world.
There are huge trees growing there. The green towering trees are not afraid of strong winds and lightning. They stand still in the harsh natural environment, as if the outside world has nothing to do with it, and the two are in different worlds. middle.
Zhishui only felt goosebumps all over his body, and a cold air rushed to his forehead. He quickly retreated without thinking, and did not dare to look behind him, as if there was a **** mouth showing sharp teeth behind him. The giant sea monster is chasing the general.
He rushed back to the ship at a much faster speed than when he came, and before he could catch his breath, he suddenly found that the sky above his head was still bright, and the rays of the sun reflected on the sea, illuminating some of the sea areas golden. At this moment, the surrounding sea breeze is blowing calmly, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
“………………”
Zhishui only felt as if he was experiencing some terrifying story. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He turned his head sharply and found that there were whirlpools and lightning bolts behind him, not to mention that the building was full of vitality , but it is completely different from the surrounding islands of despair and silence...
In his mind, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, Zhishui numbly released the shadow clone, and then walked to a burly man in two steps.
This is also a ninja, but only Shimonin, one of the crew members responsible for transporting Shisui to its destination.
Before Shishui could speak, the ninja noticed his arrival and asked, "What is your order?"
What he said was meticulous, which made Zhishui, who had not experienced a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, a little embarrassed, but now was not the time to be embarrassed, he immediately asked
"Excuse me, is there any difference in the sea just now?"
"The surface of the sea?" The ninja was a little puzzled, he couldn't help frowning, he thought about it carefully, and then shook his head
"There is no abnormality, it has always been like this..."
"I understand……"
Shishui was silent for a moment, then nodded and left silently.
He never believed that everything just now was just his own hallucination. He had to know that he had turned on the kaleidoscope at that time. Who in this world could let a Uchiha clansman who had turned on the kaleidoscope be caught in the environment Can you not notice it?
"From what I just looked at, the island seems to be in a completely different space from the real world... According to the hybrid, it is Nibelungen?"
Shishui murmured
"It seems to be gradually solidifying. Could it be... Is this island slowly coming to the ninja world? The storm just now was a ritual? Or, is it a cage?"
Zhishui's heart was chaotic, and he didn't know how to report what happened here to Orochimaru...
……………………
"Sir Jiraiya!"
On the southern coast of the Land of Water, Jiraiya was drinking sake from an izakaya when he suddenly heard a voice from outside.
Kakashi, Sarutobi Asma and Yuhi Kane walked in from the outside with three ninjas each.
"You can come, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
After muttering, Ji Lai also stood up and asked, "Have you all eaten?"
The ninjas nodded subconsciously, so Jiraiya walked to the counter to settle the bill, and walked out with Kakashi and the others.
"How is the discussion between Orochimaru and Wuyin?"
On the street, Jiraiya asked Kakashi
"At most, we are only allowed to enter the Land of Water legally, but after we arrive, the ship must be able to return. If we want to track down the whereabouts of the Fourth Raikage, we can only take the ships of the Land of Water."
"Hmph, it's not bad that Wuyin can do this to such an extent."
Jiraiya also raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised that the Land of Water was able to let so many Konoha ninjas legally enter the territory.
But on second thought, he probably understood.
In the last few years, after the Ninja World War, the invasion of the Demon Race, and the Aizen Incident, the Land of Water was the one that suffered the most.
The two people Zhuli and the two water shadows all died, and it is estimated that only the same Yunyin Village can compare with them.
In this case, their strength has been greatly reduced, and if it is not involved in a crisis of life and death, they are unlikely to reject Konoha's proposal.
And a dangerous person like the Fourth Raikage has been wandering in the waters near the Land of Water, which is also a headache for them. Konoha sent someone over, perhaps it was just what they wanted.
"I heard from Tsunade-sama when I came here that if we need help, we can ask it to Kiriyuki appropriately, but Tsunade-sama said that they will only provide a fast-moving warship at most." Asma said at this time
"This surprises me even more." Jiraiya clapped his fists, "We're going now, we can't let that old guy Ai rescue Dio."
This is one of his guesses, that is, Dior is still trapped somewhere in the deep sea, and urgently needs to wait for the rescue of the fourth generation of Raikage.
Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage is unlikely to go all the way to the sea.
"It will take us about two hours to reach the eastern coast from here. If we calculate this way, the fourth generation of Raikage will probably lead us by a day, and it is difficult for us to find a small boat on the vast sea..." Hong Yuhi Some worried, "Even if there are warships, our speed is much faster than the other party, but it is difficult to find the other party's figure in this environment..."
"Yes, our perceptual ninjas can only cover a radius of ten kilometers at most... In this case..."
"Of course it's not easy to catch people together." Zilai also waved his hand, and his face gradually became serious. "Then we can separate..."
"Separate?!" Kakashi, Asma and Hong were all shocked
"Yes, this is very risky, but it's the only way at the moment." Jirai also said slowly, "We have three sentient ninjas, so we need three warships, one for each of you, and I am here. One of them will be transferred to the other ship after a period of time."
"Let each ship be separated by seven kilometers and move in parallel, so that even if there is an accident, the other two can quickly arrive for support."
"But even so, you may not be able to persist in front of the fourth Raikage until the reinforcements arrive, so I still need your consent for this plan."
He turned his head and looked at the three people who, although immature, were already worthy of the title of Jōnin.
……………………
"It seems that the ninja world is getting more and more dangerous, and I'm a little panicked now."
In a shadow in the distance of Jiraiya and others, Bai Jue watched their figures and said to Hei Jue at the same time.
"To shut up!"
Hei Jue is a little irritable, he is in a bad mood now.
Madara, who has been fooled by himself, didn't know why he didn't really die Instead, he unknowingly collected nine big-tailed beasts and became the ten-tailed human pillar force, so he couldn't help him at all. The body released the sealed mother.
And after the war ended, that Uchiha Obito didn't know where he went, and he completely cut off contact with him. How could this not make Heijue feel irritable and depressed?
However, as a thousand-year-old silver coin, his endurance definitely exceeds 99.9% of the world's people. If the situation is really beyond his control, then let it continue to be messed up.
Anyway, he has endured it for thousands of years, not less than a few decades.
When the ninja world calmed down again, he secretly took action to cultivate new Asuras and Indras to release his mother. Time was nothing to him and Kaguya.
"Wait, aren't those hybrids from Konoha before? Why are they in the Land of Water?"
While thinking in the dark, he heard Bai Jue's voice again.
Looking up, I found that behind the street, there was a group of men in the same uniform walking on the street.
Judging from their faces, they were just a part of the hybrids who were originally sent to Konoha.
"I thought they all went back."
Bai Jue said in a light voice
"It's not surprising to leave some people behind." Hei Jue responded indifferently, "Especially now that their cooperation with Konoha is getting deeper and deeper."
"So which side should we monitor next? Jiraiya's side or the half-blood side?"
After thinking about it for a while, Hei Jue replied, "Jilaiye and they are going to sea. It's not easy for us to monitor them there. Let's go and see what these mixed races are going to do first."
