Chapter 216 Watching the Fire From the Other Side

"This matter should have nothing to do with us, Mizuki, let Mist Shinobi deal with it, if it doesn't work, we'll help..."

Kakashi shook his head and replied.

"Why, what did you find?"

"Migirin ran so far to greet us, it was too enthusiastic. That Aogami Ninja said he was welcoming us, but in my opinion, it was probably just a chance encounter."

"Meet by chance?" Mizuki thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, our face is not so big that they need to travel thousands of miles to the vast sea to meet us, and it is also very difficult to find us. Exaggeration, but finding specific ships and people in the middle of nowhere is so difficult."

Just as he was speaking, not far from the ship's side, suddenly a huge black figure slowly emerged from the water. Immediately afterwards, several figures shot out from the bottom of the water, and they were divided into two groups to confront each other. On one side are the leader of the Mist Ninja, Ao, and his three subordinates, and on the other side are three people, all wearing weird animal masks, with the Mist Ninja forehead guard with scratches on their foreheads, and then steadily landed on the half-surfacing behemoth body.

"Rebellion?" Such an obvious situation shows that this encounter is likely to be the "housework" of Wuyin Village, and Konoha and the others just accidentally got involved in trouble.

"Sure enough, that Ao didn't tell the truth. It was just a coincidence that he met us, and he sold someone by the way." Kakashi was very sure of his judgment.

Mizuki said: "So what? If you still want to expose them, what good will that do us? Just pretend not to know about the matter of giving each other face?"

Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"Now it seems that the internal problems in Kirigakure Village are far from being completely resolved. Does Mizukage Godaime still have a lot to do?"

"Are those masked guys Anbu? Their psychic beast, that huge fish-like monster, is a mutated humpback whale?"

"Maybe, but these are not important..." Kakashi took out a small notebook, kept recording some things, and put it back into his pocket after finishing writing.

"The motivation for their attack is confusing. Does a passenger ship headed to the land of water have many benefits for ninjas? Many things on it are goods, which are of no use to ninjas at all."

"Kakashi, sometimes conflicts are not necessarily about gaining something." Hatake Kakashi is really not good at grasping people's hearts, "We don't need to care about the origins of these attackers, but their actions can Guess one or two. When the new Mizukage takes office, there must be frustrated people and speculators who fish in troubled waters to take advantage of this chaotic time to do something. This kind of attack is likely to be an attack on the exchange fleet between the Kingdom of Water and other countries. Indiscriminate attacks on people."

"No difference?" Kakashi asked, frowning. "What good does this do to these opponents who are dissatisfied with the new water shadow?"

"Benefits?" Mizuki smiled, "There is no need for benefits, it is enough to make Mizukage Terumi Mizukage the Fifth Generation difficult to deal with, completely cutting off the communication channel, for the country of water with poor resources, it will face extremely serious problems. In a difficult situation, it is very difficult to say whether Terumi Mei, who cannot maintain order and authority, can sit safely in Mizukage's position."

"That's it." Kakashi understood what Mizuki meant after thinking about it. This suspected organized terrorist attack is the biggest test for a new leader. The team led by Kirigakure Murakami Shinobi is likely to It is a standing patrol on the water route, and happened to meet Konoha's ninja during the mission.

When Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi communicated, the battle on the sea not far away was coming to an end.

"In this environment, Mist Ninja is more handy."

"yes."

The geographical advantage is too obvious. If Mizuki and Kakashi go all out, they will have the ability to wipe out the team below, but this is definitely not because the opponent is weak, but because of the absolute weakness , being crushed, even if the strength is not much different, it is still very unfavorable to Kakashi and Mizuki.

Seeing that the battle was coming to an end, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Mizuki and asked, "What do you think about yesterday's battle and today's?"

Mizuki thought for a while, adjusted his wording a bit and replied: "Kiri Ninja's fighting style is very problematic. How should I put it, the concept is very different."

"Tell me specifically!" Kakashi was also quite interested in Mizuki's opinion. "I have also fought with Mist Ninja many times. In the country of waves, you know that Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swords, will not be cut. Although I also have some feelings, I just don't know how to say it."

The ninjas were also very interested in the topic of this kind of fighting, and gathered around to hear Mizuki's "high opinion".

Mizuki cleared his throat, and then said: "The fighting style of Mist Ninja, the difference is mainly reflected in the purpose of the fighting. This difference will be obvious after watching too much. The type who is proficient in lurking and assassination on the mainland, In fact, they are quite rare, but they exist in large numbers in Wuyin Village. This is probably caused by the geographical isolation of Wuyin Village and the ninja selection policy. To sum it up in one sentence, it is: Wuyin is very ancient.”

"Ancient style." Kakashi murmured and repeated the word, as if he had realized something.

"That's right, Gufeng." Mizuki explained, "The origin of the ninja may not have been noticed by everyone. Chakra did not exist at the beginning. The history of ninja is longer than that of chakra. Before the appearance of chakra, In addition to the lack of frontal combat effectiveness, the characteristics are actually quite similar to Mist Ninja, lurking and assassination, and completing tasks by any means."

"Unscrupulous?" The word made the gang of ninjas who had always been proud of their ninja status very uncomfortable.

"Ninja, from the day of its birth, is not a bright profession. In the beginning, it was only a tool for big shots to deal with private affairs. It was quite despised and excluded by other fighting professions. It was not until the appearance of Chakra that this phenomenon was reversed."

Kakashi interjected and asked; "So, what you want to say is that the Mist Ninjas have largely inherited the ninja style and customs that have been handed down from ancient times. Shinobu didn't actually abandon the old tradition?"

"That's right." Mizuki confirmed, "You can know a thing or two by looking at the history and fighting style of Wuyin Village."

"So that's how it is." Kakashi suddenly realized, "No wonder I feel that the mist ninjas are a lot of unruly, and their fighting style is very utilitarian and solipsistic, because their philosophy is very different from the mainstream of the ninja world. .”
