The Steady King of Konoha

As expected, Uchiha Keiji was not lying. On the night of the second day, a smuggling ship came near the camp.

Ye Shan looked at the giant parked in front of him speechlessly, feeling shocked in his heart.

This is a giant six-masted sailing ship, with a length of more than 150 meters and a width of about 30 meters. What is even more exaggerated is that it is actually equipped with two cannons.

This is not a smuggling ship, this is clearly a giant battleship, and the Uchiha clan's business is too big.

"Hayama, you can just take this boat to the Kingdom of Water, but you can't reach the port because everyone is strictly controlled there."

Uchiha Keiji gently patted Hayama's shoulder, took out a scroll and put it in his hand, and then continued to talk.

"These are specially made detonating charms and some ninja tools. They are all practical things. I hope they can be used."

Hayama did not refuse, put on his hood after saying thank you, and stepped onto the boat with Yamashiro Chen in the night.

.......

Ye Shan got on the boat and was taken to a hidden room to rest, ensuring that no one would disturb him.

"Captain, why did Katsuhisa Yasuda choose to defect to the Kingdom of Water?" Yamashiro Tatsu asked.

Ye Shan did not answer his question immediately, but frowned and thought carefully for a long time, but still had no clue.

According to the information provided by the village, Katsuhisa Yasuda was just a special jounin with nothing outstanding. No one expected that he would suddenly kill three of his subordinates and defect because he had no motive for defecting.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, just be careful."

Although he couldn't figure out why the defecting ninja from Konoha Village would choose to flee to the Kingdom of Water, Hayama believed that with his strength, as long as he was not surrounded, there would be no problem in returning intact.

Winter is when the wind and waves are strong. Even though the ship is big, it is still very bumpy and uncomfortable.

For several days, the two of them ate, drank, and had sex in the room without showing up once. Gradually, even though Hayama had a good temperament, he felt a little boring and dull, and he was very eager to go outside and breathe fresh air. As for Yamashiro Chen

, now completely exhausted, he was lying on the floor like a dead fish, his eyes staring straight at the wooden door, obviously he was about to reach the limit of his endurance.

"Chen, if you keep persisting, I guess we're not far from the Kingdom of Water."

Yeshan's voice was a little hoarse, which seemed to be caused by not talking for a long time, or from lack of water.

There is an endless sea between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water. If you want to travel, you can only rely on ships, unless you can fly. Even if a ninja can tread water, it is easy to lose the sense of direction on the sea, and there is no rest.

In a place where there is no chance of drowning due to chakra depletion, there will naturally be no one walking around stupidly.

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door. Yamashiro Chen perked up, jumped up, and quickly opened the door.

"Sir, this place is only dozens of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Water."

The person who came was the captain of the ship, who was also a retired chuunin. He reported the situation in a respectful tone, obviously knowing Hayama's identity.

Ye Shan felt happy, but said calmly: "I know."

After the captain left, Yamashiro Chen could no longer contain his inner joy and said cheerfully: "We're finally here."

"The mission has only officially begun now, so we cannot let down our guard."

Hayama's words caused the joy on Yamashiro Chen's face to disappear, replaced by solemnity.

It is well known to everyone in the ninja world that the Kingdom of Water is extremely xenophobic. The place where the Anbu in the village are most afraid of sneaking into is the Kingdom of Water. I don’t know how many ninjas have fallen into the sand in this tiny place. No matter how careful the two of them are, the Kingdom of Water is extremely xenophobic.

Too much.

It was in the middle of the night and early in the morning, which provided great convenience for Hayama and his wife to sneak in. Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them quietly left the ship and watched it set off waves and move away.

Ye Shan stood on the sea, the chakra used to support his body under his feet was constantly being released, but he did not take steps immediately, but looked up at the sky.

A full moon hangs in the sky surrounded by stars, shining cold moonlight, making the visibility extremely high.

The bright moonlight is obviously not conducive to sneaking in, but it is not difficult for Hayama. He has his own means to ensure that his whereabouts will not be discovered by the naked eye.

I saw Ye Shan slowly squatting down, making a few seals with his hands and pressing them on the uneven sea surface.

"Water Release: Water Polo Technique!"

Under the stimulation of chakra, the seawater gathered into a huge water ball, wrapping Hayama and Yamashiro Chen. The two took out the oxygen masks they had prepared and put them on their faces, and followed with the oxygen bottles on their backs.

The water ball sunk into the seabed about ten meters deep is moving forward at a slow speed.

Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is better than safety. Even if there are Kirigakure's sentient ninjas on the coast, they will not deliberately search the seabed. Hayama does not believe that Kirigakure can really search such a wide range.

The water polo is not small in size and can move very quickly. It takes half an hour to cover a distance of tens of kilometers. When the water polo hits a hard object, Hayama knows that the coastline has arrived.

Since it was near a large port, the water was very deep and it was impossible to see anything at all. Cautious Yeshan dispersed his water polo skills and slowly swam up in the sea. After a while, his eyes caught the moonlight.

It wasn't until his head came out of the sea that Hayama realized that he had drifted outside a small fishing village. He couldn't help but feel lucky that it was night, otherwise he would have been discovered before he even landed.

To be honest, Hayama is not good at sneaking in. He has not even systematically practiced the practice of aura condensation. However, thanks to the scarcity of sensing ninjas, there have been no mistakes so far, and this time is no exception.

With such a long coastline, no matter how many sensing ninjas Kirigakure has, they cannot monitor all directions without blind spots. Hayama successfully entered the territory of the Kingdom of Water, and the top priority is to determine the direction and find a place to hide.

Hayama put away the oxygen mask and oxygen bottle, and made a few gestures towards Yamashiro Chen. After the other party nodded in understanding, he took a deep breath and disappeared in an instant.

That night, a strange thing happened in the small fishing village. The fisherman at the head of the village claimed that when he was sleeping at night, he dreamed that someone was forcing a confession from him, but when he woke up, he was unharmed. The villagers in the fishing village laughed at him because he worked too hard with his wife and had an accident.

An illusion.

.....

Two days later, the two of them, who stayed day and night, finally reached the central part of the Kingdom of Water. This place was not greatly affected by the ocean climate. At least there was no salty water vapor in the air. But at the same time, it became even more dangerous here.

Once I saw Kirigakure's ninja rushing in his hiding place, and he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Hayama's mission is to find Katsuhisa Yasuda and bring back his head. This task is not easy. The first thing to do is how to find Katsuhisa Yasuda, and then he can consider killing him without attracting the attention of Kirigakure ninjas.

The whereabouts of Katsuhisa Yasuda is easy to find. He is in the capital city in the middle of the Land of Water. According to reports from spies in the village, Katsuhisa Yasuda has defected to the daimyo of the Land of Water and has become one of the Nami ninjas supported by him.

Hayama didn't quite believe the news from the spies. It was incredible that a Konoha ninja could join the daimyo of the Land of Water after defecting. Wasn't the daimyo of the Land of Water afraid that Katsuhisa Yasuda was a double agent?

Are you going to cause sabotage? Besides, when did the Daimyo lack ninjas to help them? Say hello to Kirigakure Village, and asking for seven or eight native-born Kirito ninjas is more reliable than asking for a rebellious ninja.

But the spy's words in the letter convinced the mission office to believe him, so they hurriedly sent Hayama and his two men to get rid of Yasuda Katsuhisa. First, he knew some Konoha secrets; but he was really curious about his motive for defecting.

.

Hayama, the capital of the Kingdom of Water, would not enter. He was not sure whether there were resident ninjas from Kirigakure in the capital. If he went in hastily, he would be in trouble if he was discovered.

In desperation, Hayama played the trick of sitting back and waiting. He and Yamashiro Chen used the art of doppelgänger to disguise themselves as a large bandit gang, and from time to time they went to rob and extort on the road that must be passed in and out of the capital. Of course, the location of the robbery was far away from the capital.

Not too far, not too close, just right, hoping to attract the ninjas in the capital.

Hayama is betting that the one who comes to suppress the bandits will be the newly joined Katsuhisa Yasuda. If not, it doesn't matter. At the worst, he can just kill the opponent and sneak into the capital in disguise.

So, after traveling through time for nineteen years, Ye Shan experienced the feeling of being a bandit. How should I put it... getting something for nothing is so happy.

Ye Shan looked at the mountains of goods and money in front of him, and seriously thought about why he was poorer than the bandits. After a long time, he heard his low voice complaining in the cave.

"That fucking weirdo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, deducted mission funds."
