In front of the established Kage-level masters, the power of the Takigakure Village seemed too insignificant. The life and death of the Taki-nins only depended on Lei Luo's thoughts, but Lei Luo did not choose to destroy this small ninja village.
Nowadays, Lei Luo is no longer the mad dog that bit anyone he saw. It doesn't matter whether Takigakure lives or dies. As long as Kirigakure is destroyed and the federation is dissolved, Takigakure will naturally surrender to the Kingdom of Fire. This is foreseeable.
If it weren't for the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki being too important, Lei Luo wouldn't even stop in this small ninja village. The Fire Nation's serious treatment of Takigakure was both bullying and degrading.
So, get what you want and you're good to go.
The entire operation of the battle against Takigakure was like roaming around in the back garden of one's own home. Capturing the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki was as easy as searching for something.
Inside the spaceship, everyone discussed for a while, but there was really nothing to talk about in this battle, so they simply calmed down and recharged their batteries, waiting for the next battle.
The real battle is about to begin.
at the same time……
The beach of the Land of Water has white sand, calm waves, and warm sunshine. Several albatross hover at the junction of the sea and the sky, and their chirps sound from time to time, bringing a leisurely and lazy atmosphere.
The climate in coastal countries is warm and humid. Especially in summer, drizzle often falls on the ground, making the air even more humid. Cloudless weather like this is actually uncommon.
The leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who is over forty years old, the Kirigakure Jōnin named Loquat Juzo is currently leading his men to patrol the seaside. When he encounters some fishermen who are about to go out to sea, he comes up to chat for a few words.
While taking a short break, you might even be able to smoke a cigarette.
"Peace is so good..."
After the firelight flickered, white smoke rose up. Loquat Juzo leaned on an old boat plank stuck on the beach, experiencing the comfort of nicotine stimulating the lungs, and looked at the sea with emotion.
"Boss, when do you plan to retire?" A slightly dull voice sounded, and a young Kirin ninja wearing a mask and sinister eyes slowly approached and asked in a deep voice.
Looking sideways at the young Kiri Ninja, Loquat Juuzang said leisurely: "If you don't want to succeed, if you want to inherit my beheading sword, then practice hard and don't ask such childish questions all day long."
"It sounds like it's just making people laugh."
After saying that, he breathed softly, and the smoke floated on Zabuza's face. The young man's face twitched, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He was about to have an attack, but after weighing the strength of both parties, he restrained the urge.
"Brother Zabuza, please stop staring at Brother Juuzang. There is currently no one to succeed Hirameko. Can't you change your target?" A clear female voice came. Zabuza turned around and saw:
A black-haired girl walked slowly over and looked at him with a smile.
"Shiro, you don't understand. The beheading sword is my belief, and it cannot be compared with the flathead." Zabuza shook his head, and when he looked at Shiro, his eyes became much softer.
At this time, a burst of whispers sounded, causing Zabuza's expression to change.
"Watch your expression."
"I see it."
"Brother Zabuza, the dialogue is indeed interesting."
"Indeed, it is becoming more and more obvious."
"Hey, I said you two, can you shut up?" Looking at the two teammates talking in low voices not far away, Zabuza rolled his eyes and his expression became stiff. The two looked stern.
Stop talking quickly.
When Shiro heard the words of his companions, his cheeks could not help but blush slightly. When he looked at Zabuza, he always subconsciously looked away. Although Zabuza pretended to be calm, he also did not dare to look at Shiro.
Unknowingly, a charming atmosphere spread out, making Loquat Juzo beside him feel quite uncomfortable. He gradually increased the intensity of his smoking, as if he wanted to use it to relieve himself.
Loquat Juzo, Zabuza, Haku, and two Kirigakure Chuunin. These five people belong to the same ANBU team. Their recent mission is to patrol the west coast of the Land of Water.
Logically speaking, an elite Anbu team composed of two jounin, one special jounin, and two chunin should not carry out such an easy patrol mission, but that's what the Mizukage told him, and no one dared to say anything.
no.
The breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, and the cigarette on his fingertips was about to burn out. Loquat Juzo simply threw away the cigarette butt, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the air mixed with the scent of the ocean.
When he opened his eyes again, Zabuza was still exchanging something with Shiro. Their voices were quite low. Loquat Juuzang couldn't hear clearly and was too lazy to pay attention. He stretched his waist and prepared to call everyone to move.
But at this moment, the sight that flashed past the end of his field of vision made Loquat Juuzang suddenly pause. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look carefully: it was not sure whether it was a figure of rice grains emerging from the sea surface dozens of meters or hundreds of meters away.
"Someone is walking on the sea water, it's a ninja."
"The other party is very slow and doesn't seem to be in a hurry to come over."
"If something weird happens, be careful."
Due to an instinctive reaction, Loquat Juuzang drew out the decapitating sword from his back. After conveying the order, he rushed over first. The other four stopped talking, looked at each other, and all followed the captain's footsteps.
Stepping on the waves, his figure rose and fell with the waves. As the distance quickly shortened, the entire figure was revealed in front of his eyes. Loquat Juzo suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You are... Lei Luo!"
The visitor was wearing a black coat, and the corners of the clothes were blown by the sea breeze, so they billowed up and down, making a hunting sound, like an eagle that kept waving its wings. That plain face, every Kirigakure ninja clearly recognized, it was the mortal enemy of Kirigakure Village.
: Lei Luo.
At this moment, Lei Luo was slowly moving forward. The arrival of the five Kirigakure Anbu did not change his expression at all. His legs still maintained a turtle speed and stepped forward step by step, as if he was silently brewing something.
Lei Luo's eyes were facing forward, and his sight was not shifted at all by the people around him. It felt like the ANBU elites of Kirigakure were just a group of stones and insects in front of him.
"Lei Luo! Why do you appear here! Do you want to start a war!" Loquat Juuzang looked nervous and shouted as if facing a formidable enemy. As Lei Luo slowly advanced, he also kept a little distance.
Retreat.
The decapitating sword lay in front of him, but he did not dare to attack rashly. Loquat Juuzang knew Lei Luo's strength, and a variety of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally chose to deal with it cautiously to avoid irritating this humanoid nuclear bomb.
When Zabuza and the others saw the captain's performance, they did not dare to act rashly. They moved slowly to surround Lei Luo, keeping their eyes firmly on the legend of the ninja world.
Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing to the extreme. Until he was fifty or sixty meters away from the beach, Lei Luo stopped, still not looking at Loquat Juuzang and others, and silently raised his left hand.
