On the boundless sea.
Yuichi and Kisame were in a small boat.
They were approaching a small island.
Yuichi stood at the bow, gazing at the distant island.
"So, where is the Two-Tails?"
Kisame stood up from the wooden box. "Ah! That's what Zetsu's intelligence says."
Yuichi was a bit curious. "This place is not close to the Land of Lightning. Why would the Two-Tails Jinchuriki appear in a place like this?"
As he spoke, Yuichi looked in another direction. "This place is very close to the Land of Water!"
If they changed direction, it would only take a few hours to enter the waters of the Land of Water.
Kisame smiled faintly. "Don't you understand?"
He looked at the distant island.
Kisame said with some displeasure, "For the Two-Tails of Kumogakure to appear in a place like this, it means that this place is also within the control of the Land of Lightning!"
Within the control of the Land of Lightning?
This place was so close to the Land of Water, yet it was within the control of the Land of Lightning.
In other words, it was within the control of Kumogakure?
Since when did Kumogakure's reach extend so far?
Seeing Yuichi's confused look.
Kisame sighed as if complaining.
"The closed-country policy of Kirigakure in the Land of Water, which started from the Fourth Mizukage."
"Has caused the influence of the Land of Water to gradually wane."
"It's not strange for these places to be controlled by the Land of Lightning!"
Hearing this, Yuichi somewhat understood.
During the Blood Mist Village period of Kirigakure, the entire village, or the entire Land of Water, was in a closed state.
Under such circumstances, the influence of the Land of Water naturally declined.
On the contrary, Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning took advantage of this time to control a large area of the sea and islands.
This was also normal.
After all, in the entire shinobi world, besides Konoha, the one with the strongest comprehensive strength was Kumogakure.
The country advocated the supremacy of force.
The combat power of Kumogakure ninja was also very strong.
At the same time, they had mastered the method of perfectly controlling the Tailed Beasts.
Whether it was the target of their hunt now, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, or that Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Both were perfect Jinchuriki.
They were not easy to deal with.
As he spoke, Kisame stopped the boat.
He glanced at Yuichi.
"Let's go! If we continue by boat, it will be too conspicuous. Let's walk!"
With that, Kisame jumped directly from the boat and stood on the surface of the sea.
He prepared to walk towards the island.
Yuichi looked at the small island.
If possible, he would fly there directly.
But forget it, let's go with Kisame!
On the other side.
However, not long after Yuichi and Kisame jumped off the boat.
Several other small boats, also with their lights off, quietly approached the island in the darkness.
Looking closely at the people on these boats.
They were all Kirigakure ninja.
It was not strange for Kirigakure ninja to appear here.
But it seemed their target was also the distant island.
After the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure took office.
The closure of the Land of Water was lifted.
On the one hand, Terumi Mei had to clean up the mess left by the Fourth Mizukage.
On the other hand, she had to find a way to regain control of the surrounding areas of the Land of Water.
Otherwise, if they couldn't even control the surrounding areas, the safety of the Land of Water could not be guaranteed at all.
Other places were fine, but in the direction of the Land of Lightning, there were several large islands that were controlled by them.
The location of these islands, if they were always controlled by the Land of Lightning.
Then it would be equivalent to the Land of Lightning placing a cannon on the head of the Land of Water.
At any time, the Land of Lightning could use these islands as a front line, continuously transporting Kumogakure ninja here.
To attack the Land of Water.
So, Kirigakure needed to regain control of these islands.
No matter whose hands they fell into, they could not fall into the hands of Kumogakure.
But a battle of this level was not a war.
Before they officially fell out, everyone would not dispatch too many people.
They would only send out elites to compete.
Whoever lost would tacitly admit defeat.
Then the dispute would temporarily stop.
A battle like this was to minimize the scale and control each other's casualties as much as possible.
To ensure that no turmoil occurred within the country.
Otherwise, if a war broke out at the drop of a hat!
In the end, it would be the other villages that would benefit.
However, Yuichi and Kisame did not know that they had just run into such a battle.
The two people who were quietly walking on the water suddenly heard the sound of boats breaking the water and constantly approaching.
Yuichi and Kisame looked back into the darkness, and the blurry shadows of several boats appeared.
"We didn't approach by boat, but others don't seem to worry about this problem at all."
Yuichi smiled.
Kisame looked helpless. "Although I don't know who they are? But the people on the island must have discovered them!"
"We might also be implicated, so much so that we were discovered by the enemy before we even got on the island."
"Then should we continue to hide?"
Yuichi asked.
Kisame nodded. "Of course, I don't want to be implicated by boring people!"
With that, Kisame prepared to dive into the water.
"Kid! Let's hurry and hide in the water!"
In the water?
Although Yuichi had tried, even if he dived to the bottom of the water, he wouldn't turn into a landlubber because of the Devil Fruit.
But!
Yuichi didn't think it was useful to dive into the water.
Because.
The corners of Yuichi's mouth turned up slightly.
"No need to go to such trouble, Kisame!"
"There are people underwater too!"
Kisame was stunned. He hadn't felt anything at all!
But the next second!
Several flares appeared in the sky.
Flares!
These flares flew over the heads of Yuichi and Kisame.
And finally landed beside the boats not far behind!
These few boats were instantly exposed on the dark sea.
Immediately after.
Bubbles rose from the surface of the sea under their feet.
Kisame was stunned.
'Are there really people underwater?'
He looked up at Yuichi in surprise and discovered.
Even he hadn't discovered the people in the water. How did Yuichi feel it?
Was this kid's sensory ability that strong?
Of course, it wasn't that Yuichi's sensory ability was strong, but that his intuition told him there was something underwater.
It might also be one of the abilities brought by Hyper Intuition!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
One after another, black shadows drilled out from under the water.
The first thing these black shadows did after rushing out of the water was to use ninjutsu.
"Wind Style!"
"Fire Style!"
More than a dozen ninja cooperated with great tacit understanding.
They used Fire Style and Wind Style ninjutsu to attack at the same time. Under the attack of the wind and fire fusion ninjutsu, the few boats were instantly burned down.
Immediately after, the sound of flowing water was heard.
It broke through the raging fire and ravaged the dozens of ninja.
More than a dozen ninja also jumped down from the burning boats.
The two sides began to fight.
The clanging sound of kunai collisions was heard.
They immediately entered a fierce battle.
Yuichi and Kisame stood on the side.
Watching the group of people fight.
With the light from the flares floating on the sea.
They could clearly see who the two groups of ninja were.
One group was Kumogakure ninja, and the other was Kirigakure ninja.
The ninja of two great nations were fighting on the sea.
Among the Kumogakure ninja, Yuichi saw a special figure.
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki!"
Yuichi suddenly spoke.
Kisame, who was paying attention to the battle, also suddenly discovered the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, who was attacking the enemy.
"How despicable! To deploy a Jinchuriki in a battle of this scale!"
"Kumogakure is really shameless..."
