The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Ever since Bai Lian forcibly broke into the Ghost Lantern clan and severely slapped the Ghost Lantern clan in the face, the major ninja clans in the Land of Water felt that everyone was in danger.

Except for the Minazuki clan, which has Minazuki Arashi, a strong man who surpasses jounin, the other clans have stepped up their vigilance, fearing that Byakuren would rush to their own base and cause trouble regardless.

Of course, except for the war mad group of Kaguya clan.

Although they also know that no one in their family can be Bai Lian's opponent, but... recklessness is enough, Kaguya's clan is almost so tough.

But it was obvious that Bai Lian had no intention of communicating in depth with this group of people.

After a high profile, Bai Lian temporarily fell silent. For two full months, no one knew the movements of this lone ranger.

After completing the preliminary layout, the Shimada clan began to gradually get on the right track.

Although there are many commissions from the Daming Palace, the commissions from the Kingdom of Water can be roughly divided into three categories. One is the escort mission of ninjas hired by merchants from various places, and the other is the mission officially issued by the Kingdom of Water to exterminate pirates and some ferocious sea beasts.

Now Hanzo took ten tribesmen and Motojiu on a mission to exterminate sea beasts.

Compared with the land, the area of ​​the ocean that has not been explored by the ninja world is huge.

Therefore, some strange large sea beasts will naturally appear in the ocean, and some of them even become ninja beasts with chakra.

These sea beasts roam around in the ocean. They do not have human territorial awareness and often break into the waters of the Kingdom of Water.

It would be fine if it were a docile sea beast, but in nature, where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, there will always be ferocious sea beasts.

To deal with ordinary large sea monsters, you only need to send some ninjas to deal with them. But if it is a large sea monster that has become a ninja beast, you need to send out jounin.

There is no other reason. Due to their huge size and geographical location, these ninja beasts are not something that ordinary ninjas can deal with even if their chakra is weak.

The mission target Hanzo took on this time was a ninja beast.

But originally, the family did not plan to send Hanzo to lead the team for this mission.

On the other hand, Hanzo had been practicing steadily in his family for two months, and he felt a little restless, so he took the initiative to take on this task.

"...The target of this mission, according to intelligence description, is a squid-like marine creature that possesses chakra and is initially believed to have a certain amount of intelligence. It has recently been active in the northern waters of the Kingdom of Water. Four merchant ships have been attacked by this creature.

An attack by a ninja beast..."

Hanzo led the clan members forward while repeating the mission information.

"Young Patriarch, you are here to take action this time, so there is nothing to worry about. No matter what kind of ninja beast it is, it can be captured with ease."

As Hanzo was talking, a tribesman behind him joked.

All the tribesmen burst into laughter.

Hanzo's prestige among the Shimada clan is still very high. People in this clan don't think that it would be difficult for a mere ninja beast to get Hanzo.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!"

Hanzo's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glare at the tribesman who spoke first.

The ninja quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes kept blinking. He was really skinny.

Hanzo was a little helpless. No matter how much he emphasized, these tribesmen obviously didn't take this mission seriously.

"If I had known earlier, I should have applied and just brought Motojiu alone..." Hanzo muttered silently in his heart.

Everyone set out in the afternoon the day before, and by the time they arrived at the northern part of the Kingdom of Water, it was already dark.

Hanzo looked at the island distribution map of the Kingdom of Water in his hand and said: "There is a desert island some distance to the west. We will rest there for the night and start again tomorrow."

"yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

After all, the mission target is a marine ninja beast. Due to the convenient location, the sea surface is pitch black in the dark night.

If it were to be done in the dark, Hanzo would not be afraid since he had the ability to sense it, but the clan members might suffer some casualties.

For the ninja clan, in such an extermination mission, casualties can always be avoided if possible. Hanzo has no intention of taking this risk, and he is not in a hurry anyway.

After advancing west for a certain distance, a small desert island appeared in everyone's sight.

The group speeded up and soon arrived at the island.

Except for a somewhat sparse forest, the desert island is completely deserted.

Hanzo and the others ate some dry food and rested against the branches.

Of course, the night vigil still needs to be kept.

Although it is a deserted island, who knows if there are any inexplicable beasts.

As ninjas, they would not take such risks.

Fortunately, it was a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, everyone ate something casually and continued on their way north.

"The desert island is more than 20 kilometers north...with this as the center, within a few kilometers is the scope of activity of the mission target..."

Hanzo recalled the mission description and felt that the distance was almost there, so he stretched out his hand to signal the tribesmen to stop.

"It's almost here. Everyone works in pairs and splits up to look for traces of the mission target!"

Hanzo ordered.

"Understood!" The ten ninjas immediately broke into pieces, and the two of them began to search around.

As for Motojiu and Hanzo, they acted alone.

Both of them have the strength of jounin or above, so there is no need to worry about any danger.

…

Although everyone was broken up into pieces, the sea area was indeed not small, and it was actually very difficult to find the mission target.

But Hanzo wasn't worried either.

Because, this ninja beast will actively attack humans.

Hanzo and the others couldn't find it, but it would come looking for it.

So instead of searching, everyone is fishing.

No, the fish took the bait quickly.

Yuanjiu, who was searching everywhere at this time, didn't notice at all that a squid-like Ninja beast was already staring at him not far away.

Although this sea beast has chakra, it does not have a strong and complete inheritance like the psychic beasts of the three holy places.

Even wisdom is extremely limited.

However, being born as a beast, it knows that... persimmons are easy to pick.

It doesn't know who is strong and who is weak among this group of humans. It can only judge who is a "soft persimmon" based on the number.

As a result, Hanzo and Motokaku, the two strongest people in the team, were given the new title of "Soft Persimmon".

Hanzo was a little far away from it, so it decided to operate on Motojiu first.

Feeling that the distance was close, the squid stretched out his tentacles without hesitation and rolled directly towards Yuan Jiu.

Generally speaking, ninjas are very sensitive to their surroundings.

However, because it was his first time operating at sea, Motojiu did not notice the approach of the squid.

But when it quickly stretched out its tentacles, Motojiu should have noticed it, no matter how slow he was.

Without hesitation, Yuanjiu jumped directly into the air.

The moment Yuanjiu jumped out of the sea, a tentacle appeared at the place where he was standing. He was almost caught, and once he was pulled into the sea, he would really be passive.

Although he was still frightened, Yuan Jiu's movements on his hands were not slow.

"Wind Release Wind Cut Technique!"

A wind blade immediately struck at the squid sticking out of the sea.

"laugh……"

The wind blade made contact with the tentacles, but failed to cut off the squid's tentacles directly. It only caused a deep wound and blood flowed freely.

The squid under the sea was in pain and quickly retracted its tentacles into the sea.

But Yuanjiu, who fell on the sea, was secretly surprised.

"This squid's strength seems not that simple..."
