Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

"pirate"

Bai Mingyu was slightly startled.

One of the sailors had already seen him and Xin, and he stopped and shouted: "Quick, go and call your teacher. There is a group of pirates outside blocking our ship. We can't hold it anymore."

As he spoke, a sharp arrow came through the air with a sharp sound of wind, and landed not far away from several people.

At the end of the arrow, there is a lit detonating talisman.

"not good"

Bai Mingyu and Xin reacted very quickly. The moment they saw the detonating talisman clearly, they rushed out to both sides. The next moment, the detonating talisman exploded with fierce fire, and the sailor was thrown away. When he landed on the ground Half of his body was covered in blood and flesh by the detonating talisman. He was seeing more air coming out and less air coming in.

Standing up with lingering fear, the two of them looked in the direction of the arrow.

In the dark rain curtain, a tall shadow appeared in front of the merchant ship. On the tall mast, there was a skull and crossbones flag symbolizing the identity of the pirate. At this moment, a long wooden board was stretched from the pirate ship to the side of the merchant ship. One after another, fierce men armed with knives, clubs and sharp blades rushed over with roars and chopped down the sailors on the deck one by one.

"Save people first"

"Go and inform the others and Shikaku-sensei."

Bai Mingyu and Xin spoke at the same time, and they looked at each other. Without saying a word, Xin rushed forward with his sword, quickly rescued a sailor from a pirate's sword, and then fought with him.

Bai Mingyu turned around and saw Kimimaro who had just been woken up and hurried out of the cabin. He quickly said: "Kimimaro, go find Quan and Xiyan and tell them that pirates are coming and tell them to hurry up. Notify others"

"Ah oh"

Kimimaro was stunned for a moment, then responded, immediately turned around and ran towards the cabin inside.

Bai Mingyu rushed towards the pirates and joined the melee.

This group of pirates was obviously well prepared.

Although most of them were a group of gangsters who were robbing houses, there were a few very skilled guys who focused on Xin and Bai Mingyu. After seeing them join the battle group, they quickly outflanked them from both sides.

With one against many, and in such a dark night with heavy rain, and the figures three to five meters away were blurred, Bai Mingyu was helpless.

There are too many people, so one would not dare to use the half-animal transformation ability, and large-scale ninjutsu can easily cause accidental injuries, so one can only fight with the opponent through physical skills.

After just a few minutes of boarding battle, a bearded man who looked like the leader of the pirates suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Everyone, retreat first. The ninjas of Konoha will be here soon, take the hostages, and leave quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pirates on the merchant ship retreated one by one and ran back from the long plank. Some pirates saw that the distance was too far and they couldn't catch up. They directly killed the sailors in front of them and then turned around and jumped into the sea.

Soon someone threw down the lifebuoy and rope and pulled them back.

When a burst of noisy footsteps sounded and Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Shisui and others hurried over, the people on the pirate ship had already lifted the planks and thrown them into the sea. They quickly set sail and turned around and sailed away. The bearded pirate leader He stood on the deck and made a motion of slitting his throat towards them, his face looking ferocious and cruel.

"What happened"

""

Bai Mingyu gasped slightly. To be honest, he was a little confused himself.

The melee happened so suddenly that he didn't know exactly when this group of pirates appeared and what their intentions were. Or a sailor with a minor injury next to him ran over and briefly explained what happened.

After listening to the sailor's story, Nara Shikaku looked gloomy: "Let's count the number of people first to see if there are any casualties."

As he spoke, Shisui glanced at everyone quickly, checked twice, and said, "Shikaku-sama, the letter from Danzo-sama's subordinate, and Miya Aya from Choza-sama's subordinate, these two are not here. Also, these two people are not here." It seems that Captain Mr. Kizzi’s son was also kidnapped.”

Captain Kizzi's son is named Bucky. He is a young man of 17 or 18 years old. He serves as an observer on the ship. It stands to reason that he should be the first person to discover traces of pirates, but he is not on the ship.

While he was talking, Captain Kizzi had already run over with several sailors.

As soon as he arrived, he knelt down with a plop: "Master Ninja of Konoha, please save my son. Those pirates kill without blinking an eye and will definitely kill him."

""

Nara Shikaku's expression changed a few times, and he slowly said: "Mr. Kiki, you don't have to worry about this. Even if no one is kidnapped, we Konoha ninjas will not watch those pirates act recklessly in front of us. . But I hope you can cooperate with us. After all, we are not familiar with the situation in the nearby area, and we need help from you local residents to help guide us."

People must be saved

There are a total of twelve genin who came this time. There was no attrition in the chuunin exams, but now two of them were kidnapped by a group of pirates. This behavior is simply a provocation to Konoha.

But how to rescue is a question that needs to be discussed.

In the captain's room, a map is spread out on the table. The paper looks to be quite old, the edges have turned yellow, and there are traces of being soaked and dried by sea water.

Nara Shikaku stretched out an index finger and clicked somewhere in the lower right corner of the map: "Look, this is where we are now, in a sea area between the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Water, and that group of pirates often The place of activity is among the islands near the Country of Waves.

There are many islands in this place, most of which are small islands that can be used for temporary settlement, but it is difficult to use them as a stronghold for a large number of people to occupy for a long time. There are seven islands that can be used as nests by groups of pirates, and they are here , here and here.”

"In other words, do we need to separate seven teams to investigate these islands separately?"

Bai Mingyu looked at the places Nara Shikaku pointed at one by one and asked subconsciously.

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said: "The distribution of these seven islands is not completely scattered. They can be roughly divided into three areas. This means that three teams must be organized to investigate the intelligence. At the same time, there must be people staying on the merchant ships. , because we are not sure whether those pirates will come again, and we also need to take care of the wounded.”

In the chunin exams a few days ago, a few suffered minor or serious injuries. Although they recovered their ability to move with the help of medical ninjas, their combat effectiveness, which was not too high, was once again compromised.

The only ones that can be used as combat power are

"Shisui, take two ANBU members and go to this island to investigate."
