Chapter 114: A lucky escape! Boiled meat in seawater!
Orange Isle West!
When many Kumogakure Ninja arrived at the edge of the island!
Suzuki Rinko had already boarded the ship with her team!
Sailing away!
What was left for the Kumogakure Ninja!
Only the wreckage of the ships Fujiwara Tetsuya had sunk!
"Damn it! Did they even account for this?!"
Looking at the wreckage in the sea!
Three Kumogakure Jonin stomped their feet in frustration!
At this moment! Besides cursing a few words to make themselves even angrier!
It had no effect whatsoever!
"We still have time!"
"Everyone! Go and gather materials for rafts!"
"Hurry!"
Simple rafts!
They couldn't cross the sea!
But they were enough to help them escape the lava raging down from the Northern Highlands!
As long as they could survive!
There was still hope!
...Orange Isle Southern Area!
Because of their injuries and excessive Chakra consumption!
Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group!
Had to rely on their feet to traverse the deep forest!
Fortunately! The closer they got to the edge of the island, the flatter the terrain became!
Fortunately, there were no issues with visibility!
"Have Senior Rinko and the others not arrived yet?"
Southern edge of Orange Isle!
When Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group arrived!
Neither near nor far on the sea!
There was no trace of a ship!
If the few of them had been in peak condition, perhaps they could have resisted a bit longer!
But!
Looking at the volcanic ash swirling above their heads!
Fujiwara Tetsuya already felt dizzy!
It wouldn't be long!
Even if the endless lava intentionally missed the small patch of ground beneath them!
They would still be completely deprived of life by the toxic substances contained in this mist!
"Tetsuya-kun!"
Unconsciously! Uchiha Mikoto's hands, clutching Fujiwara Tetsuya's right arm!
Gradually tightened their grip!
"Mikoto!"
"Until that moment, it's not time to give up!"
Meeting the girl's gaze!
Fujiwara Tetsuya took a deep breath! And encouraged her in a deep voice!
Of course!
These words were not just for Uchiha Mikoto!
But also for him!
As a Transmigrator! A person destined by the System!
The benchmark for Konoha's new generation of Ninja!
How could he die here!
Perhaps that immense power of will had an effect!
As everyone's gazes gradually lost focus!
That familiar ship finally appeared in their sight!
This was probably the first time Fujiwara Tetsuya felt!
That the plain-looking Senior Suzuki Rinko was so lovely and moving!
"Captain Aoki! Your injuries!"
Just after Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group boarded the ship!
The surging lava poured down over the nearby highlands!
Devouring all the flowers, trees, fierce beasts, and migratory birds!
"Is this the destruction caused by a volcanic eruption?!"
Looking at the rising dust from Orange Isle and the endless inferno!
Fujiwara Tetsuya murmured, then fell silent!
Whether in his previous life or this one!
This was the first time he had witnessed such a doomsday scene!
Fortunately! There was no talk of merit cultivation in the Ninja World!
Otherwise! Fujiwara Tetsuya would definitely be the kind to fall into the eighteen layers of hell!
"Captain Aoki! Captain Fujimaru! Captain Tetsuya!"
"What do we do next?!"
"Are we returning directly to the Village?!"
The ship sailed away! In this silent atmosphere!
Suzuki Rinko coughed twice! And slowly walked up to Senju Aoki, Fujiwara Tetsuya, and Samon Fujimaru!
"Let's go back to the Village!"
"After Captain Tetsuya destroyed their ships!"
"Those guys from Hidden Cloud Village only have one path: death!"
"We still need to recover our combat strength as quickly as possible!"
"After all, the Northern Sea Area doesn't just contain these guys from Hidden Cloud Village!"
After the battle in the central area!
Samon Fujimaru was almost crushed into dust by the Elite Jonin of Hidden Cloud Village!
To have held on until now without collapsing!
Already proved that Samon Fujimaru was a man of extremely strong will!
"Captain Fujimaru is right!"
"Let's return to the Village first!"
After stepping onto the ship!
Senju Aoki seemed to lose all his strength!
Slumping onto the thick deck!
Seeing Suzuki Rinko's gaze at this moment!
He immediately responded, following Samon Fujimaru's lead!
"My apologies! Senior Aoki! Senior Rinko! Senior Fujimaru!"
"My intuition tells me that those guys from Hidden Cloud Village won't die so easily!"
"So! I still want to go west and take a look!"
Just as Suzuki Rinko was about to instruct her team to inform the helmsman!
Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly turned around!
Interrupting Suzuki Rinko's reaching hand!
"Go west?!"
Although surprised by Fujiwara Tetsuya's intuition!
Senju Aoki and the other two quickly adjusted!
"Since Captain Tetsuya wants to go west! Then let's go west and take a look!"
"If those Kumogakure Ninja really aren't dead!"
"Finishing them off would also be a good option!"
After Senju Aoki nodded!
Samon Fujimaru immediately chimed in!
If it were before! Perhaps Senju Aoki! Samon Fujimaru! Would have relied on their own judgment!
But after the continuous battles on Orange Isle!
Senju Aoki! Samon Fujimaru! Had already changed their previous perceptions!
To be able to hold out until the end under the encirclement of four Jonin!
And still treat Fujiwara Tetsuya as a reserve! A slightly more outstanding Chunin!
That would make them fools!
Whether based on their understanding of his strength! Or based on the bonds formed after this battle!
Senju Aoki! Samon Fujimaru! Didn't mind giving Fujiwara Tetsuya face!
"In that case! Shall we go west and take a look?"
Although surprised by the change in attitude from Senju Aoki and Samon Fujimaru!
In this situation!
It was clearly not the time for her to seek answers!
...Orange Isle Western Edge!
At the moment the lava engulfed them!
The simple rafts made by the Kumogakure Ninja finally launched into the sea!
However!
Due to weight capacity issues!
Only ten people were qualified to stand on the rafts!
Three Elite Jonin! Four Jonin! Three Elite Chunin!
As for the remaining Chunin! Elite Chunin!
They were mercilessly abandoned!
Devoured by the scorching hot lava!
Or, shortly after jumping into the sea, they were boiled alive into soup by the lava that subsequently poured into the ocean!
"Bastards!"
"Senju Aoki! Fujiwara Tetsuya! Konoha bastards!"
"I will never let you go!"
Although they knew!
That the choice they made!
Was based on the Village's interests!
The most rational judgment!
But looking at those figures disappearing in painful struggles!
The Kumogakure survivors couldn't help but clench their fists!
If they couldn't kill Senju Aoki! Fujiwara Tetsuya! And the Konoha Ninja who participated in this matter!
What happened today!
Would definitely become a nightmare that they could never erase for the rest of their lives!
"We're returning to Hidden Cloud Village!"
"I will personally report this matter to the Raikage-sama!"
"Next time! I will personally take the heads of Senju Aoki! Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
