Chapter 92 Crisis in Whirlpool Village
The night wind in the Hidden Village of Earth Spiders, carrying the dampness of the mountain stream, swept past the wooden houses.
The hearth burned in the center of the room, and sparks popped and floated upwards.
This was a grand farewell party held by the Earth Spider Clan before Yang Xiang and the others left.
The Earth Spider tribe members sat chatting outside, their voices drifting intermittently through the wooden wall, neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough to reach their ears.
Whirlpool Flame dropped his bowl and chopsticks, grabbed a handful of fruit from the table, and ran outside.
Yuto Uzumaki and Ayaka followed, sweeping across the table and dragging their stools behind Yan.
For them, listening to stories from outsiders is the best form of entertainment, and they are always very enthusiastic about it.
The voices from the other side of the wall continued, first discussing the Sand Village. They said that a puppeteer from Sand Village had taken on an escort mission, but lost his employer's goods halfway through. As a result, he was punished by the Kazekage to guard the border for three months, and even his ninja tools were confiscated.
Then they talked about Iwagakure, saying that two Jonin fought in the village over a mineral vein on the border, demolishing half a street, and were punished by the Tsuchikage to mine for a month.
The group chatted amongst themselves, gossiping and complaining. These were all rumors brought over by traveling merchants, which the mischievous members of the Earth Spider clan had refined and improved into short stories to brag about.
The Earth Spider clan has been out exchanging a lot of supplies these past few days, and there's been an unprecedented abundance of such gossip.
The conversation on the other side of the wall drifted further and further away, from the five great nations to a small border village. Suddenly, a gruff-voiced tribesman spoke up, his voice a little louder than before: "Hey, have you heard about what happened on the southern border? A village has been besieged."
Another voice chimed in: "Which village? Villages fight every day on the border, what's so strange about that?"
"This is no ordinary situation. I heard that it has been surrounded by ninjas from four countries, and now not even a fly can get in."
The group of people gathered around the fire looked at each other.
It seems war is imminent. Before every war, these small villages sandwiched between major powers are the opening act.
However, it is quite unusual to be surrounded by ninjas from four countries at the same time.
Whirlpool Flame leaned over, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and handed them to the man who had brought up the topic.
"Uncle, which village is it?"
The man took the peanuts and thought for a moment.
"It seems to be a village on some small island, a small island to the south, do you know it?"
"To the south, that's Uzumaki Village, the village of the Uzumaki clan."
?
What did you say?
I just enjoy listening to fun, but I don't want to become fun myself.
Yuto jumped up and ran into the room.
"Boss Yangxiang! Brother Guangyi! The village!"
"The village is in danger!"
Without time to ask further questions, Uchiha Kagami bid farewell to Tsuchigumo Kijin and led his team quickly toward the coastline.
After traveling through the night for most of the night, they arrived at the docks south of the Land of Fire just as dawn was breaking.
The once-hidden dock was now filled with groups of ninjas heading towards Wocao Village. Judging from their attire, they came from various villages, and there were also many wandering ninjas. Clearly, they were all going to besiege Wocao Village.
Koichi lowered his voice and gestured to the others: "So many people. It seems the news was true; quite a few people have come."
The group slowed their pace, trying not to attract attention.
They had only taken a couple of steps when they ran into a group of ninjas.
They were all wearing Mist Ninja headbands, with black masks covering their faces, and each holding a ninja sword. They were clearly elites. The leader was a Jonin with fierce eyes, who looked like someone not to be trifled with.
The few wandering ninjas at the fork in the road nearby immediately cowered when they saw the Hidden Mist team, quickly hiding to the side and not daring to even breathe loudly.
After all, the reputation of the Misty Blood Mist Village is well-known. These people are ruthless and kill without blinking an eye, so no one wants to mess with them.
The leader of the Kirigakure Jonin swept his gaze over, and his eyes, which had been filled with fierce intent, suddenly shrank to pinpoints the moment they fixed on Yang Xiang.
His hand gripping the ninja sword suddenly froze, his knuckles turning white instantly, and he even held his breath for a moment. The seven Hidden Mist ninjas behind him, upon seeing Yang Xiang's face, all froze on the spot, their raised feet retracting abruptly, their faces visibly pale beneath their masks.
The wandering ninjas huddled nearby were dumbfounded, unable to understand why these fierce-looking Kirigakure ninjas suddenly seemed frozen in place.
Koichi also gripped his kunai tightly, his whole body tense, ready to form hand seals at any moment.
He had heard that the people of Wuyin were unruly and feared that they might attack him at the slightest provocation, delaying his return to the village.
The next second, the leading Kirigakure Jonin suddenly lowered his head, not daring to even look at them. He made a quick hand gesture to the person behind him, abruptly turned ninety degrees, and darted away at a distance of more than ten meters from Yang Xiang and the others. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if chased by a ghost, not daring to even glance back in their direction.
Everyone standing there was completely dumbfounded.
Yuto paused, still holding the sealing scroll he had just pulled out, and nudged Yan beside him: "Am I seeing things? The people from Kirigakure—ran away?"
Yan dropped the peanut from his mouth, looking completely bewildered: "They ran away? The way they looked at me just now, like they'd seen the Mizukage's father, was it really that serious?"
Caihua tilted her head and looked at Yang Xiang: "Boss Yang Xiang, do they know you?"
Yang Xiang tilted his head in confusion: "No?"
strangeness.
I've definitely never seen it before.
Apart from Yagura Karatachi, all the other Mist Blades I've seen have gone to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
"Never seen him before?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Yang Xiang suspiciously.
Why were they running so fast?
Uchiha Kagami glanced at Yang Xiang and simply raised his hand to make a gesture: "Don't waste time, find a boat, and cross the sea back to the village immediately."
The group stopped dwelling on the matter of Kirigakure and instead found two emergency speedboats that the Uzumaki clan had hidden in advance at the dock. Hashirama Tsuchigumo also boarded one of the boats.
As soon as the ship left the coastline and entered the open sea, the surface of the sea looked calm and peaceful, but underneath it was full of danger.
Yuto suddenly raised his hand: "Wait a minute, there's a chakra fluctuation underwater."
Upon hearing his words, Hashirama Tsuchigumo formed faint black magic runes on his fingertips and pressed them towards the sea surface—[
Word Binding Technique - Exploration.
Fine black lines spread out like a spider web along the sea surface, instantly extending hundreds of meters.
The underwater scene was clearly reflected by the spell. Within a range of several meters around the bottom of the ship, there were countless mist-hidden water mines, each of which was connected to a trigger seal and would explode upon contact, enough to directly shatter the fast ship into pieces.
Koichi's face darkened: "How ruthless, they've even blocked off the sea routes."
Yan rolled up his sleeves and formed hand seals: "I'll seal them all with a sealing technique!"
"Don't rush." Hashirama stopped him, his fingertips changing the spell seal again. "The Word Binding Technique can fix the trigger point of the spell seal, and your sealing technique will be a backup. With both methods working together, it won't trigger an explosion."
As soon as the words were spoken, the word-binding technique between the pillars was activated.
Black patterns precisely wrapped around the trigger marks of each mine, effectively locking down the chakra flow that was about to be activated.
Almost simultaneously, Yan and Youdou's sealing techniques descended in unison, covering the mine with pale golden vortex patterns, completely sealing off its detonation core.
The lock and seal work together seamlessly.
The weapon that was supposed to explode at the slightest touch became a dead object without a trace and sank to the bottom of the sea.
