The Yagyu family's tavern was where I went directly after Kotomune met Jiraiya.

This tavern can be regarded as a stronghold of the Yagyu family, providing free rest and supplies.Although whaling ships rarely come here, the Yagyu family's shipping industry is inseparable from here.The five major maritime families of the Iron Kingdom all have such strongholds here.

When Yanzong and Jiraiya arrived, Ryousuke arranged a room for them. After a simple bath, the three of them gathered in Yanzong's room and sat on their knees around the low table. Jiraiya sat down at Yanzong. Opposite, Ryousuke sat on the right side of Yan Zong.A pot of tea and four cups were placed on the low table, but no one touched them.

"Just half a month ago, I landed on the main island of the White Shark Alliance. The island was in chaos, with constant conflicts and bullying. The screams and the smell of blood filled the entire island, as if I was on a battlefield. I was on the island I collected information through various methods, and unexpectedly met information ninjas sent by other ninja villages. Since the information was not confidential, we exchanged information with each other."

"The night the White Shark Alliance was disintegrated, there was a huge storm, and all the ships on the shore were crushed by unknown forces. No one could go to sea normally in such wind and waves, and the main island was completely blocked. This is obviously It is man-made, and the purpose is to eliminate the White Shark Alliance. We don’t know much about why the White Shark Alliance was eliminated, but judging from the results, it is certain that the situation at sea will become extremely chaotic, just like the current main island.”

Yan Zong nodded after hearing what Jiraiya said. He thought that Jiraiya had not finished speaking, and it was unlikely that he would finish speaking.The intelligence ninjas from several ninja villages exchanged information with each other, and they definitely got more than that.

"The ship was destroyed, and the resources on the island became particularly important. After the fall of Old White Shark, several large or small forces emerged on the island, competing for the limited resources on the main island. The main island was divided into several areas. This It reflects the future situation at sea. And there is only one person who caused all this."

"One person disintegrated the entire White Shark Alliance?" Yan Zong murmured.Although I felt the difference in my heart, I didn't show it.

"I don't know the strength of the White Shark Alliance, but the information we got is that one person. There were many people fighting with that person at that time. It is said that the person had eight huge tentacles, each of which was thicker than the mainmast. And that person The purpose of a person's behavior is also very direct, and he will only attack those who attack him. Old White Shark's group and some people who thought they were strong attacked him, but they couldn't last long in front of him."

"That's all the information we got." Jiraiya said.

"Something is missing." A low and calm voice said, "Can I ask a few questions?"

The person who spoke was not Yagyu Konmune, but the tavern owner Ryosuke.A well-proportioned old man, he once served as the guard of Yan Zong's grandfather, and later served as the guard of Yan Zong's father. He also taught Yan Zong swordsmanship when he was a child.He is a samurai with superb swordsmanship and absolute loyalty, and is known as the guard tiger of the Yagyu family.

During a civil strife in the Yagyu family, he and Kotomune's grandfather teamed up to kill more than 2000 soldiers and captured hundreds of people and became famous. It was then that he got the title of the Guarding Tiger.

"Of course." Jiraiya responded to Ryosuke.

"How long did the battle last?" Liangsuke asked. Yanzong was listening silently. Yanzong knew Liangsuke's ability.

"It's hard to say. Some people talk for half an hour, and some people talk for more than ten minutes." Jiraiya replied, but the harsh answer made him feel uncomfortable, so he poured himself a cup of tea.

"Where are the number of people?" No one cared about Jiraiya's actions, so Ryousuke asked again after a moment of silence.

"Not sure, no one has counted them." Jiraiya said.

"Where is the intensity of the battle?" It was not Ryousuke who asked this question but Yan Zong, although this was also the question Ryousuke wanted to ask.

"How do you assess the intensity of the battle?"

"For ninjas, look at the destructive power of ninjutsu on the environment. For samurai, look at the scale of the battle. Of course, it's best to look at both."

"I and other ninjas inspected the scene and came to the conclusion that the battles in which jonins participated, and the battles in which jonins participated, then the lowest strength was at the chunin level, and genin was insignificant."

"I don't know what the strength of your jounin is, but the old white shark was able to gallop on the sea when he was young. His strength is definitely better than your jonin, otherwise he would have died long ago." Yan Zongdao.

"That's for sure." Jiraiya agreed.

"I have dealt with the Great White Shark Pirates, and I know their strength. Putting aside the miscellaneous soldiers, there are at least thirty core members of the White Sands Pirates. If their strength is defined as Jonin, then with Is it possible for thirty jonin to win a head-on battle within half an hour?" Yan Zongdao.

"It's impossible for all thirty of them to be jounin. Some of them must be at chunin level. As for ending the battle within half an hour, it's not impossible. If it's an extremely powerful illusion that controls everyone present at the same time, then within a few minutes It is not difficult to solve the problem. But we got information that the people who handled the corpses checked them and found that they all died of serious injuries. In addition, the environment at the battle site changed seriously at that time. It is not difficult to deduce that they experienced extreme stress before their death. fight.”

"That is to say, the conclusion is that a man with octopus tentacles used his extremely strong combat power to disintegrate the core power of the White Shark Alliance within half an hour."

"That's almost it." Jiraiya sighed.

"Let's eat something first. Something happened recently that I think may have something to do with the White Shark Alliance." As soon as Yan Zong finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open a small gap.The sound of them going upstairs had actually been noticed by the three of them.

"Everyone, your food is ready. Do you need it delivered to you?" There were two women delivering the food. One was a waiter in her thirties who looked like a waiter hired from a village on the island, and the other was a young girl, about seventeen years old. He is eight years old, has a sweet appearance, and his eyes are alert and lively.When he came in, his movements were light and flexible, exuding youthful vitality.

"Hina! Long time no see." Hina is the girl's name and she has been working here for four years.

Xina rolled her eyes at Yan Zong and left. Yan Zong shrugged helplessly and smiled awkwardly.

"Try this octopus," he said after the two women finished serving the food and left.

"It tastes good." Ryosuke and Jiraiya said in unison after carefully eating a piece.

"About a day ago, we were attacked by three giant octopuses on our way back. Each one was capable of easily crushing our boat. But we were lucky enough to stop them and get a few octopus legs, which were stewed It’s just a small piece of one of them.”

After listening to Yanzong's words, Jiraiya took another taste and nodded with satisfaction; while Ryousuke frowned slightly.

"A few days ago, I heard similar news. A cargo ship was minced by a giant octopus. I heard from the survivors that they only saw a few octopus legs, each of which was as tall and thick as the mainmast." Liang Jie said, "At first I thought they were just bragging. After all, the people who said this were just hearsay. Now it seems that it is very likely to be true."

"It tastes good! Didn't you bring octopus meat with you when we came?" Jiraiya said after eating a few pieces while Kotomune was talking to Ryosuke.

The seal was brought in the scroll.Yan Zong replied casually.

That's it!

"Looking at it this way, the damaged ships around the main island of the White Shark Alliance are probably caused by these octopuses." Ryousuke turned to the topic.

"Then I suspect that guy has a very obedient psychic beast - an octopus." Jiraiya added.

"Well, although this conclusion doesn't have much effect, if you want to fight him, you must not be in the sea." Yanzong continued smoothly, saying that the listener is interested. Ryousuke frowned obviously after hearing Yanzong's words. stand up.

"Speaking of psychic beasts, I remember that Old White Shark's psychic beast seems to be a great white shark." Ryousuke said thoughtfully.

"Brother, please eat slowly." Yanzong saw that Jiraiya was eating in a hurry and was afraid that he would choke, so he kindly reminded him, "Let me ask you a question, is the daughter of Old White Shark, Little White Shark, dead?"

"At least no one found evidence that she was dead." Jiraiya said vaguely, his mouth full of food.

"I don't believe that Old White Shark could watch his daughter being killed." Yan Zongdao, "It has been proven that Old White Shark was dead, but his daughter was not found. I think she probably ran away."

"Thank you for the hospitality!" Jiraiya said suddenly, "I didn't eat anything just after I got off the ship, and I'm not used to sleeping on the ship. Now that I'm full, it's time to have a good sleep."

"This person is so casual." Jiraiya said after leaving.

"Lord Yan Zong, how did you meet him?" Ryousuke asked.

"On the way here..." Yan Zong recounted what happened before.

"Be careful with him."

"Um"

"Lord Yan Zong, do you plan to solve this matter alone?" Ryousuke asked.

"Haha, I spilled the beans." Yan Zong laughed, "I had such an idea after listening to that guy's information just now."

"It's too dangerous," Ryousuke said. "This is much more dangerous than anything you've ever dealt with before."

"I'll be more careful. It's not my style to die in vain." Yan Zong said easily.

"I heard a news that the Fire Country sent someone to buy Kotetsu as a birthday gift for the Fire Country's Ming?" Ryosuke suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes, father plans to let me escort him." Yan Zong said, "But how did you know the news?"

"Recently, the stewards of other families often use this to tease me. The Fire Nation has not done this strictly." Liang Jie said, "So you should go back early to make preparations."

Yan Zong smiled.Liangjie suddenly changed the subject, with the purpose of dissuading himself not to take risks: "Uncle Liangjie, you know me."

"Okay then!" Ryosuke took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever heard of 'Shipwrecked Ide'?"

"Well! The great pirates who once dominated the sea were wiped out by you." Yan Zong said.

"That's not the truth. I only told your father the truth." Ryosuke said, "Ide is the strongest and most terrifying person I have ever seen, but we didn't kill him."

Yan Zong remained silent, he had never heard the so-called truth from his father.

"Ide was once the overlord of the sea." Ryousuke began to tell the story of the past.
