"This matter should have nothing to do with us, Mizuki, let Kirin handle it, if it really doesn't work, let's help..."

Kakashi shook his head and replied.

"What, what did you find?"

"Mist Shinobu ran so far to greet us, he was too enthusiastic. That Aojo Shinobi said he was welcoming us, but in my opinion, it was probably just a chance encounter."

"By chance?" Shuimu thought for a while and said, "It makes sense, our face is not big enough to require them to travel all the way to the sea to greet us, and it's also very difficult to find us. It's a bit difficult to find a needle in a haystack. Exaggerated, but finding certain boats and people in the open ocean, it's just too difficult."

Just as he was talking, not far from the ship's side, a huge black shadow suddenly surfaced slowly, and then, several figures shot out, suddenly appeared from the bottom of the water, and divided into two groups of people facing each other. On one side are the mist ninja leader Qing and his three subordinates, and on the other three people, all wearing weird animal masks, with scratched mist ninja foreheads on their foreheads, and then they landed steadily on the semi-surfacing behemoth. body.

"Rebel?" Such an obvious situation indicates that this encounter is likely to be a "housework" in Kiriyin Village, and Konoha and the others were just accidentally involved in trouble.

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

Shuimu said: "So what? You still want to dismantle them, so what's the benefit to us? Just pretend you don't know about giving each other face?"

Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"It now seems that the internal problems of Wuyin Village are far from being completely resolved. Is there a lot of things to do for the fifth generation of Mizukage?"

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

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

"The motive for their attack is puzzling. A passenger ship heading to the Land of Water, is there much benefit to the ninja? Many of the items on it are goods, which are of no use to the ninja at all."

"Kakashi, sometimes conflict is not necessarily for obtaining anything." Hatake Kakashi is really not good at grasping people's hearts, "We don't need to care about the origin of these attackers, but their actions can Guess one or two. When the new water shadow takes office, there must be frustrated people and speculators who are fishing 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 fleets between the Land of Water and other countries. Indiscriminate attacks by personnel."

"No difference?" Kakashi asked, frowning. "What good will this do to these disgruntled opponents of the new water shadow?"

"Benefits?" Mizuki smiled, "There is no need for benefits, it is enough to make Terumi Mei Mizukage difficult to deal with, and completely cut off the communication channel, for the resource-poor water country, it will be extremely difficult to deal with. In a difficult situation, it is very difficult to say whether Terumi Mei, who cannot maintain order and authority, can safely sit in the Mizukage position."

"Is that so?" Kacasillo understood Mizuki's meaning after thinking about it. This suspected organized terrorist attack is the biggest test for a new leader. 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.

"Under this kind of 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 sweep away the team below, but this is definitely not that the opponent is weak, just under the absolute weakness of strength. , being crushed, it is still very unfavorable to Kakashi and Mizuki when the strength is not much different.

Seeing that the battle was about to end, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Mizuki and asked, "Yesterday's battle, plus today's, what do you think?"

Mizuki thought for a while, then sorted out the wording a little and replied: "Mist Ninja's fighting style is very problematic. How to say it, the concept is very different."

"Talk about it specifically!" Kakashi was also interested in Mizuki's insights. "I have also fought with Mist Ninja many times. In the country of waves, you will know that Taodi, one of the seven ninja knives, doesn't cut it. Although I have some feelings, I just don't know how to say it."

Genin are also very interested in the topic of this kind of battle, and gathered around to hear Mizuki's "high opinion".

Mizuki cleared his throat, and then said: "The difference in the fighting style of the mist ninja is mainly reflected in the purpose of the battle. The difference will be obvious when you see it more. The type who is proficient in lurking and assassination on the mainland, In fact, it is quite rare, but there are a lot of them in Kiriyin Village. This is probably caused by the geographical isolation of Kiriyin Village and the ninja selection policy. To sum it up in one sentence, it is: Kiriyin is very ancient."

"Ancient." Kakashi murmured and repeated the word, as if he had a little understanding.

"That's right, Antiquity." Mizuki explained, "The origin of ninja may not be noticed by everyone. Chakra is not a thing from the beginning. The history of ninja is longer than that of Chakra. Before Chakra appeared, In addition to the lack of frontal combat power, the characteristics are actually quite similar to Kirin, lurking and assassination, as well as unscrupulous completion of tasks."

"Unscrupulous?" This word made the gang of ninjas, who had always been proud of their identity as ninjas, very uncomfortable.

"Ninja, from the day it was born, has not been a bright profession. At the beginning, it was just a tool for big people to deal with private affairs. It was despised and excluded by other combat 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 style and customs of ninjas that have been passed down from ancient times. Shinobu didn't really abandon the old traditions?"

"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 think that the mist ninjas are a lot unruly, and their fighting style is very utilitarian and self-centered, because their philosophy is very different from the mainstream of the ninja world. ."
