Chapter 60: Information Toad of Myoboku Mountain! Mist Ninja in the Mist Island!
"Lord Jiraiya! Please forgive us, but we must refuse!"
Meeting Jiraiya's expectant gaze!
Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't even think, choosing to refuse directly!
"Why?"
Looking at the brat in front of him!
Jiraiya's eyelids couldn't help but twitch!
Clearly!
He hadn't expected that Fujiwara Tetsuya would remain so rational, even under the call of Lord Jiraiya!
"Nothing! It's just that this isn't wartime, after all! Moreover, our Thirteenth Squad isn't Lord Jiraiya's subordinate!"
"And more importantly!"
"As an Elite Jonin, you do not possess the same authority as the Hokage!"
"Indeed!"
"Just as Jonin Shinwa said! You, brat! You're excessively rational!"
"Look at this!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's firm gaze!
Jiraiya sighed deeply!
After fumbling in his embrace, he pulled out a scroll and directly tossed it into Fujiwara Tetsuya's arms!
"Mission scroll!"
"Is it a Summoning Technique?!"
The item Jiraiya handed over!
It was precisely the mission proof personally issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi!
It stated that!
For a certain period recently!
The Thirteenth Squad would be entirely under Jiraiya's command!
Of course!
The Village would also, based on the rank of the mission Jiraiya was performing!
Grant them equivalent compensation and mission records!
"That's right! It is indeed a Summoning Technique!"
"Brat! From today onwards, I am your direct superior!"
"The matter I just mentioned!"
"I am willing to obey Lord Jiraiya's command!"
After all, it's easier to get things done when you have someone above you!
Rubbing the mission scroll in his hand!
Fujiwara Tetsuya sighed inwardly!
He respectfully handed the mission scroll back!
Hopefully, during the coming days!
Their luck would be relatively better!
Mist Island!
Due to its special geographical location!
It is perennially shrouded in sea fog!
This has led to the unique nature of this area!
In the eyes of most ships!
The sea area around Mist Island is a forbidden zone of life!
But over the past few hundred years!
It hasn't been that no one has ever survived crossing this sea area!
Above the sea!
A small ship continuously pitched on the sea!
Gradually approaching the Mist Island sea area.
"Brats! Ahead is the Mist Island sea area!"
"You must keep the toads I gave you with you!"
"Don't underestimate these little guys! When necessary! They will become our means of communication!"
The toads Jiraiya spoke of!
Naturally referred to the toads of Mount Myōboku!
However!
The toads, no bigger than half a fist, currently hanging from the waists of Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two!
Were clearly not the main combat species of Mount Myōboku!
After rushing into the Mist Island sea area!
Everything was unknown!
Even Uchiha Mikoto, after activating her Sharingan!
Could only barely see the environment within five meters!
Guided by a tattered sea chart!
Everyone gradually waited!
Mist Island! Because of the mist!
The ecology on Mist Island was very well preserved!
Towering ancient trees! Unknown creatures constantly appearing and disappearing!
Everything!
All seemed to record the sealed history of Mist Island!
However!
Amidst the shifting mist!
The Living Spirits within Mist Island!
All deliberately avoided the western area of Mist Island!
It seemed that place!
Contained some terrifying existence!
...Western Mist Island! Inside a certain cave!
Due to the presence of a barrier!
The visibility inside the cave was much clearer!
Within this not-so-large cave!
Dozens of Kirigakure Ninja were surprisingly hidden!
"Lord Kamihachiryū! That is the course of events!"
"Our mission failed!"
At this moment!
Kiyomizu, and the Special Jonin who had escaped from Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two!
Were kneeling before a dark figure!
Their voices filled with terror!
"A bunch of trash! Three squads, and you couldn't even take down one Konoha squad!"
"And so many people died or were injured!"
"Kiyomizu! You've disappointed me greatly!"
"You should be aware! What kind of punishment awaits after a failed mission in the Village!"
How severe the Hidden Mist Village's punishments were!
One could tell by Kiyomizu and the other's expressions at this moment!
It was absolutely something more terrifying than death!
"However! Now is a time when we need people! I will spare you this time!"
"But, if you two are still useless next time! The ocean will be your final resting place!"
"Thank you, Lord Kamihachiryū! We will definitely work hard! We will not fail your grace!"
Although it was only a matter of a few minutes!
Kiyomizu and the other still felt!
They had already circled the gates of hell several times!
To still be alive after a mission failure!
Was already the greatest stroke of luck!
"Whether you fail or not! Is not based on words! But on actions!"
"I will dispatch ten more Chunin under your command! To continue the mission of ambushing the Uzumaki Clan Ninja!"
"Now! You may withdraw!"
After Kiyomizu and the other left!
The cave returned to silence once more!
From Kamihachiryū's words, it could be seen that!
The Kirigakure stronghold on Mist Island!
Was far from being just one!
Tens of minutes later!
The silence in the cave was broken again!
Two Ninja, after entering the barrier's range!
Quickly came before Kamihachiryū!
"Lord Kamihachiryū! Someone has entered the Mist Sea Area! They are heading straight for Mist Island!"
As kings of the sea!
The Kirigakure Ninja being able to establish themselves on Mist Island!
Naturally had unique methods!
However, at this time, Jiraiya, Yuhi Shinwa, Fujiwara Tetsuya, and the others were unaware!
That when they were less than a hundred miles from Mist Island!
The Kirigakure Ninja had already sensed their presence through some special means!
"Can you confirm their identity at close range?!"
"Lord Kamihachiryū! The distance between them and Mist Island is a bit far!"
"To confirm their specific identity, we will have to wait until they enter the shallow waters of Mist Island!"
"Alright! I understand! You two go down and continue to monitor their movements!"
"If there are any urgent circumstances, report to me immediately!"
"We understand! Lord Kamihachiryū!"
Watching the two leave!
Kamihachiryū's gaze gradually deepened!
The Uzumaki Clan Ninja! Had already been by them!
That's right! By them!
Not solely the Hidden Mist Village!
They were being watched closely!
If they truly were Uzumaki Clan Ninja!
Information regarding this mission should have been placed before him much earlier!
So!
This unexpected enemy!
Who could it be?
Mercenary Ninja? Or Konoha reinforcements?
Just as Kamihachiryū pondered the identity of the newcomers!
And at the same time, mobilized personnel to prepare an ambush!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, Jiraiya, and their group!
Also encountered trouble!
For some reason!
As they got closer and closer to Mist Island!
The surrounding sea became more and more turbulent!
It seemed that deep beneath the sea!
Some terrifying existence was raging!
Making the already old small boat! Shake more and more frequently!
