Chapter 11: Countdown to the Angry Child's Appearance
Days passed by in this somewhat absurd yet harmonious atmosphere.
Hozuki Mangetsu stopped his somewhat clumsy probing and seemed to have temporarily accepted the premise that "my captain is a lucky playboy who is good at twisting logic," and instead devoted more energy to handling island affairs, leading patrols, and his own training.
Regardless of the circumstances, he is a strong contender for the future head of the Hozuki clan, and mastering these skills is essential.
Gouju Cheng continued his idyllic life.
Fishing, sunbathing, researching food, and reading miscellaneous books.
Occasionally, when the mood struck him, he would go to the dock to watch the unloading or take a tour of the warehouse area, ostensibly to understand the situation and boost morale.
Well, actually it's just taking a stroll, chatting with the ninjas on night watch, and sneaking some fresh fruit that's just been delivered.
The ninjas guarding the island had also gotten used to this amazing captain.
In private discussions, although most people felt that Captain Cheng seemed unreliable, they still quite liked this kind of boss who didn't meddle in other people's business, and most importantly, he was generous to his subordinates.
The news of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's defeat still couldn't be suppressed.
Although the Hidden Mist Village government tried to downplay the incident, only saying that they encountered a powerful enemy and suffered some losses, the ninjas themselves had their own channels of communication.
When rumors quietly spread that "the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were almost completely wiped out, with only three escaping with serious injuries," the morale that had been high due to the initial success of the war was inevitably overshadowed.
Even the Ninja Swordsmen, who are considered the symbol of the village, have suffered such a crushing defeat. Can this war really be won as easily as expected?
Anxiety gradually spread, causing patrols and security on Blue Island to become even more tense.
As expected, Gouju Cheng maintained his lazy demeanor, only now he spent more time gazing at the sea while fishing, occasionally letting out a soft sigh.
"That's why fighting and killing are so boring; isn't it better to live a peaceful life..."
The next day.
Gouju Cheng was hugging his pillow and having a sweet dream on the soft bed.
Mei Terumi in her left hand, Tsunade in her right...
"Knock knock knock!"
The urgent and heavy knocking abruptly pulled him from his sweet dream.
"Who is it? Can't a person get some sleep this early in the morning?!"
Gouju muttered irritably and pulled the blanket tighter around himself.
"Captain, emergency!"
Aoki's somewhat tense voice came from outside the door: "People have come to the village. It's an elite squad from the Anbu. They have an urgent mission!"
An elite squad of secret agents?
Gouju Cheng's sleepiness vanished instantly, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
The fact that an elite squad of secret agents rushed to this remote supply depot so early in the morning was no small matter.
Outside the door, Aoki looked somewhat nervous, with three Kirigakure ANBU members standing behind him.
The leader was tall and imposing, exuding a chilling aura; even through the mask, one could feel his murderous intent.
The two people beside him also possessed refined auras, clearly not ordinary ninjas.
"Captain Makoto Gojibana?"
"It's me, and you are...."
"By order of the Mizukage, we are to carry out a top-secret mission."
Without a word, the ANBU ninja handed over a vessel with a special seal and a scroll bearing the chakra mark of the Third Mizukage.
"During this mission, Blue Island and its surrounding waters are immediately placed under the highest level of martial law, prohibiting any vessels from entering or leaving. All personnel on the island, including the garrison troops and yourself, must fully cooperate with our operations. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a traitor!"
Gouju Cheng took the scroll and opened it to take a look.
With just one glance, his brows furrowed instantly.
[Issuing Jonin Makoto Karatachi and his unit to immediately cooperate with the Anbu Special Operations Team to carry out the sealing operation. Ensure the sealing process is absolutely secretive and secure, and maintain the highest level of vigilance in the surrounding area. This order has the highest priority; no further details are required, simply cooperate fully.]
The sealing matter...
Three tails? !
……
"Are you sure this little girl can handle it?"
"Are you questioning the Mizukage, Makoto Karatachi?"
The leader of the Kirigakure ANBU scoffed and threw the semi-conscious Nohara Rin to the ground.
"According to the Mizukage, this girl has a special physique and can perfectly withstand the power of the Tailed Beasts. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths to kidnap her from Konoha."
News of the Ninja Swordsman's defeat has spread throughout the battlefield, boosting the morale of Konoha and demoralizing the entire Kirigakure army.
Those were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the most powerful elite squad in Kirigakure, and they've just turned into a bunch of lucky charms.
In order to regroup, after discussion, the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure decided to seal the Three-Tails into the body of a girl named Nohara Rin, so that she could take it to Konoha and become a suicide bomber to wreak havoc on the village.
"Let's not waste any more time. The sooner we finish sealing and send this lightning to Konoha, the greater the advantage we can gain."
"You all prepare for the surrounding area; we will immediately begin the sealing ritual!"
"walk slowly."
I won't say more about Gouju.
This quiet life over the past two weeks almost made him think that the Third Mizukage had let him go.
In hindsight, that was just the calm before the storm; Chun Chun was brewing a big deal!
"Captain Aoki, Full Moon, take your men and seal off the entire island's coastline, prohibiting any ships or personnel from approaching!"
"yes!"
Aoki, his face solemn, turned and went to make arrangements.
Although Hozuki Mangetsu didn't know the specifics of the mission, he understood its importance from the few words he heard and quickly left with Aoki.
Before long, the area around the warehouse was cleared out, leaving only Makoto Goji and the elite squad of the Hidden Mist Dark Division.
The members of the dark squad swiftly placed the semi-conscious Nohara Rin at the center of the spell. The girl was pale and her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she had been seriously injured during her capture.
"Captain Goji Berry, the sealing process requires absolute focus and cannot be disturbed in any way. You should understand what I mean, right?"
"rest assured."
Makoto Kuraki stood to one side, and several members of the Anbu immediately sprang into action, quickly setting up a complex sealing technique.
The leader of the dark faction also took out the special sealing vessel from before.
With just a slight opening, Makoto Karuta felt an immense, chaotic, and malevolent chakra emanating from the sealing vessel.
Three tails!
"Freeze!"
The Three-Tails' chakra was controlled by the combined efforts of the Anbu.
Immediately afterwards, a thick, deep red torrent of chakra, exuding an ominous aura, surged out of the vessel and, guided by the sealing technique, rushed wildly toward the girl curled up on the ground.
Gouju Cheng couldn't help but click his tongue.
rough.
That's too brutal!
This sealing method is utterly devoid of aesthetic appeal and cannot even achieve a perfect seal.
That makes sense. With just these few guys, there's no way they could have perfectly sealed a tailed beast in such a short time.
However, if we only consider it as a suicide truck, that's enough.
The only drawback is that the method is too crude, so Nohara Rin, who is under the seal, has to suffer more.
"Ugh!"
As the Three-Tails' chakra merged with her, the unconscious Nohara Rin suddenly opened her eyes and let out a shrill scream that was inhuman.
Her small body arched violently, veins bulged on her skin, and her face showed extreme pain. She even fainted for a moment, then was awakened by the pain, repeating this cycle repeatedly.
