The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

While Hanzo began to search for the Three-Tails, Kirigakure's ANBU were not fishing.

Speaking of which, Kirigakure's luck is really bad.

The three families of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure were obviously the first to start searching for tailed beasts, and they were also the ones who contributed the most.

Compared to them, Kumogakure, who had just founded the company, was powerless, and Hanzo was the only one to show up in Konoha.

However, it happened that Kumogakure was the first to discover a tailed beast, and Hanzo happened to cut it off. Only Kirigakure spent a lot of manpower, but got nothing.

No wonder Minazuki Lan is angry.

However, the man in charge of this matter, Moshi Kasaki, had nothing to do.

Let's search for tailed beasts. It depends on luck.

The more people you send out, the higher the probability of finding you. But if you are really shameless and want to get a small chance, there is nothing you can do about it.

As time passed by, even if Kirigakure didn't know that Konoha had begun to search for tailed beasts in the entire ninja world, Minazuki Arashi's patience was gradually being worn away.

"Did you hear that Master Mizukage had another quarrel with Elder Chaoyi yesterday?"

In a certain sea area of ​​the Land of Water, two Kirigakure ANBU walking side by side started talking quietly.

Normally, while ANBU is performing a mission, it is forbidden to talk about things unrelated to the mission.

However, ANBU are also human beings, and this mission to search for tailed beasts is dangerous, and there is still no hope.

No matter how elite the Kirigakure Anbu are, after so many days, the ninjas below will inevitably feel a little bit murmuring and slack.

"I haven't heard of it." The Kirigakure ANBU next to him said nonchalantly: "But these days, Mizukage-sama has quarreled with Elder Chaoyi countless times. What kind of news is this?"

"That's true." The ANBU who spoke first was annoyed, and he realized that this was no longer a big deal.

However, this did not prevent him from complaining: "I don't know where this damn tailed beast is hiding. I don't know how many ANBU participated in this mission, but as far as I know, there is not a single one left in our entire squadron.

Everyone has joined this mission.”

"There is no way around it." There was also a hint of helplessness in the voice of the Anbu next to him: "Who knows where it is hidden in the vast sea."

While the two were talking, the scorching sun in the sky gradually moved above their heads.

Kirigakure ANBU's attire is relatively thick, unlike Konoha's which involves a crisp vest.

After running around on the sea under the scorching sun for a long time, the two ANBU were also a little exhausted.

"Bamboo Rat, let's find a place to rest." The ANBU who spoke first said.

And "Bamboo Rat" is the code name of his partner.

"But the Bull Demon, there's no place to rest here?" The Bamboo Rat also seemed to want to take a rest.

But looking around at the vast sea, you can't just sit on the sea and rest.

The ninja codenamed "Ox Demon" drew his sword and looked around, feeling confused for a while.

But as luck would have it, just when they were confused, a beach in the distance suddenly appeared in their sight.

As ninjas who have been in the sea all year round, the two of them certainly know what it is.

"Look, that should be a desert island, right?" Niu Mo said with some surprise.

There is not much else in the Kingdom of Water, except for the large number of islands of various sizes.

In the past, due to the melee between the ninja clan in the country, even the water daimyo didn't bother to count these islands. They only counted those islands with a certain population size.

As the Kirigakure Village unified the ninja world of the Water Country, under the auspices of the Mizukage, Kirigakure gradually explored and recorded these small islands.

However, because Kirigakure is currently short of manpower, this work has not yet been completed.

The island that the Bamboo Rat and the Bull Demon encountered now was obviously such an uninhabited island.

The two looked at each other and then accelerated towards the island in front of them.

As the elites of ANBU, the two of them moved very quickly, and not long after, they set foot on the deserted island.

"Not to mention, the environment of this island is pretty good."

After landing on the island, they briefly observed the surrounding environment, and the two of them commented leisurely.

Although this island is a desert island, it has vegetation and fresh water, so the conditions are actually pretty good.

The two casually found a shade tree to rest for a while to avoid the sun, and by the way, they caught two freshwater fish in the island's stream for a change.

After resting for a long while, Niu Mo took the lead and said: "That's almost it. Let's continue the mission."

After all, he is an ANBU member. Even if he is a little slack, at most he can only touch fish a little bit, and he will not be blatantly passive in his mission.

The bamboo rat next to him also nodded and stood up.

Just as the two were about to leave the island along the same path, the Bull Demon stopped.

"Bamboo Rat, why don't we leave the island from the other side? It can be regarded as a preliminary exploration. When the captain asks, we won't be too embarrassed." Niu Mo suddenly had a whim.

The Bamboo Rat scratched his head when he heard this. Although he felt that his companion's idea was not very reliable, he did not object. He just nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two of them immediately turned around and started off in another direction, memorizing the situation on the island.

If an island with a freshwater stream like this was to be developed, it would usually be developed along the stream, so the two of them also walked along the stream.

As we walked, the stream became wider and wider.

"It seems that there might be a lake on this island..."

Before the last word "park" was uttered, the two of them suddenly stopped at the same time.

They looked at each other blankly. After a moment, the bamboo rat swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some difficulty: "Ox Demon...are we right?"

"Muddy gray carapace... turtle shape... three tails..." The Bull Demon muttered in a daze, "That's probably right..."

There is indeed a huge lake not far in front of them, but this is not the key. The key is that an equally huge mud-gray beast is floating in the lake, with its eyes closed tightly, and it seems to be asleep.

The three tails they had been looking for for so long suddenly appeared in front of them, and the two of them couldn't believe it.

But soon, the two of them came to their senses.

The Bull Demon whispered to the Bamboo Rat beside him: "Let's retreat first and tell the village the news."

The Bamboo Rat nodded silently, and the two quickly returned along the original path without leaving any movement along the way.

The two Anbu were also very nervous at this time. If the three tails woke up at this time and wanted to kill them both, it would be like squeezing two small ants to death, so naturally they couldn't help but be nervous.

Hurrying at full speed, the two of them soon left the desert island and arrived on the sea.

Out of danger, both the Bamboo Rat and the Bull Demon couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The Bamboo Rat whispered: "Let's go and go back to find the captain and the others. This is also a great achievement."

"good."

The two immediately started running wildly.
