The Six Paths of Konoha

After comforting the villagers and sending the woman away, the three of them stayed in a room to rest.

Kurenai sat on the bed with her legs folded in her hands, while Chiba and Shisui leaned against the wall.

The candlelight in the room flickered, and the shadows of the three people swayed under the candlelight.

Hong was about to talk about tomorrow's mission arrangements when suddenly, a figure flashed past outside the house.

"Ok?"

The three people looked alert, and Shisui put his hand on the short sword behind his back, ready to fight at any time.

Judging from the speed of the shadow, he must be a ninja!

"It seems that we have been targeted." Chiba said with a faint smile on his lips.

He glanced at Kurenai and Shisui respectively and rushed out instantly.

Chiba likes to take the lead, sitting back and waiting is not his style.

In the originally peaceful and peaceful village, bursts of fog suddenly surged.

This kind of fog is different from ordinary fog, and the visibility is extremely low.

Qianye jumped to the roof and observed the surroundings, and suddenly found that a black shadow was heading towards the seaside.

His eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was debating whether to pursue or not.

"Chase!" Hong ran out and said quickly.

Qianye jumped out and chased the black shadow at an extremely fast speed.

shhhhhh!

Several kunai were thrown directly towards the black shadow.

The black shadow glanced back, aware of Qianye's attack, and actually jumped into the water.

Chiba stepped on the sea, the mist drifted, and the underwater currents surged, and nothing could be seen.

"This is the Kirigakure Jutsu of Kirigakure Village." Hong walked over and said solemnly.

"It may be a ninja from Kirigakure Village, or it may be a rebel ninja from Kirigakure Village." Shisui said, "There was a great turmoil in Kirigakure Village. Many families with blood inheritance boundaries were bloodbathed, and there were many rebellious ninjas."

"It seems that this mission is not easy. We have been targeted. Be careful." Hong stared closely at the undercurrent under the sea and said in a deep voice.

Now is the Third Ninja War. There are many traitorous ninjas. Even if they are performing missions, it is extremely dangerous.

The three people returned to the small house and took turns to start the vigil.

Chiba couldn't sleep all night. He had an uneasy feeling in his heart, and this feeling became very strong as time went by.

I had this uneasy feeling before when I went to Yoshida Village for my first mission, but it wasn't this strong!

"We are Konoha ninjas. Even Orochimaru's remaining forces in the Kingdom of the Sea will probably not be stupid enough to come and disturb us and expose them."

"That ninja seems to be here to investigate the situation... Could it be that they have something going on and are afraid that Konoha will find out?" Chiba's eyes flickered.

Most rebel ninjas pursue power, money, and there is no conflict of interest. They will stay away from ninjas from the five major countries.

That black shadow doesn't look like a traitorous ninja, but a ninja from Kirigakure Village!

Not long after, it was already dawn.

Kurenai and Shisui both woke up, and Kurenai said: "There will be a small boat going to the mother island at five o'clock in the morning. Let's take the boat to the mother island."

The Kingdom of the Sea ship employing Konoha ninjas will depart from the home island in three days and head to the Kingdom of Water.

Their mission is to get the supply ship to the Kingdom of Water safely.

It seems simple, but there are too many variables along the way.

I found the boatman at the port. Although the boat had usually sailed at this time, the boatman refused to go.

"Sir, the fog here is too heavy and it's not safe. Let's wait until the fog dissipates before leaving." The old boatman said.

The three people waited for another two hours, but the strange thing was that the fog in this sea area had not dissipated.

Hong frowned tightly, waiting like this was not an option.

Although the escort ship will not set off until three days later, the two sides need time to adjust and understand the situation of sea monsters and water monsters.

"Let's do this, you lend us the boat and we go to the mother island ourselves." Hong discussed with the old boatman.

Seeing that the three of them were Konoha ninjas, the old boatman did not dare to refuse, so he lent the boat to the three of them and gave them a chart.

"Sir, you must follow the chart, otherwise you will go astray!" the old boatman specifically warned.

So, the three people took the boat and quickly set off on the road.

Not long after they left, the old boatman suddenly turned into a ninja, wearing a Kirigakure forehead protector, with a sneer on his lips, "These idiots from Konoha are so easy to fool."

"Forget it, I'll let you go explore Ghost World Island, dog bites dog."

The chart he gave the three people was not heading to the mother island at all!

Chiba took a look at the chart and found that there were so many reefs on the chart.

"Why are there so many rocks on the mother island? It's not common sense." Chiba said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Is it possible that the Kingdom of the Sea will choose an island with more rocks as its capital?" Chiba looked at the two of them.

Shisui was wiping his dagger, while Kurenai was reading information about sea beasts.

After hearing Qianye's words, Hong took the chart over, studied it carefully, and then said: "Let's go and take a look first. Can an old boatman still deceive us? But it's better to be careful."

The three rowed the boat forward quickly, and a few hours later, an island loomed in front of them.

The island is surrounded by rocks and shrouded in mist.

"It doesn't look like a mother island." Chiba stood on the bow of the ship and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let me check it out." Zhisui formed a seal with his hands, "Psychic technique!"

A group of ninja crows flew out directly and flew quickly towards Ghost World Island.

As ninjas, the three of them were very cautious and did not proceed rashly until they understood the situation.

The ninja crow flew over soon after and passed the news to Shisui.

Zhisui pondered for a while and then said: "There are no towns on the entire island, but there are signs of human activities."

"That means that this chart is fake. Someone deliberately lured us to this island?" Hong's eyes darkened, and then he said: "Let's go!"

No matter what the old boatman's purpose was, it was obvious that there was danger on this island.

Qianye used three shadow clones and started rowing desperately, preparing to leave this place.

However, at this time, the originally calm water surface suddenly surged, and a huge underwater whirlpool formed, and the boat unconsciously floated into the whirlpool.

"There is inexplicable chakra under the sea, and we are being targeted!" Shisui opened his Sharingan and pulled out his short sword.

There is an ambush among them!

Chiba's eyes flashed, he jumped off the boat, aimed at the whirlpool, and began to release ninjutsu.

"Lei Dun, go!"

The power of rolling thunder spread through the sea water, and for a while, many fish turned white.

But the whirlpool did not stop, and the ninja who activated this ninjutsu may be at an extremely deep place under the sea.

Seeing that the boat was even caught in the whirlpool, Chiba became anxious.

Without a boat, being in the sea would consume too much chakra and would be a dead end.

"Water Escape·Water Dragon Bullet!" Qianye used Water Escape, and a water dragon wrapped around the boat and pulled the boat out of the whirlpool.

Three people stood on the boat, swaying wildly. But at last he was not swallowed by the whirlpool.

"Water Escape Water Iron Cannon!"

Suddenly, from the bottom of the sea, a water-escape cannonball was aimed at the boat.

boom!

The water escape cannonball directly hit the boat. The boat was shattered by the blow and sawdust flew into the air.

The three people jumped out of the boat at the same time, but they were still hit by the water cannon. They were all slightly injured and looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, the maelstrom stopped, but under the calm sea, it was full of crises at this moment.
