Chapter 326

Due to the good relationship between the Mist Shinobi and the Land of Iron, Mifune naturally agreed to the Mist Shinobi's request to "borrow the way," and helped the 2, 00 Mist Shinobi led by Hoshigaki Kisame hide their tracks.

And the target of this unit is exactly the Rock Shinobi within the Land of Moon!

This time, he wants to use the corpses of the Rock Shinobi to prove it.

Only he can afford the title of "confidant" in the Mist Shinobi!

On the coast to the east of the Land of Moon, a fleet that had crossed the vast ocean was advancing toward the Land of Moon.

The fleet consisted of over a dozen large ships, carrying more than two thousand elite members of the Mist Mist Anbu. At the lead was the Chief of the Mist Mist Anbu, who was also the greatest genius of the Mist in years past—Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu gazed at the coastline, which was already beginning to take shape, a flicker of burning intensity flashing in his eyes.

After drifting for dozens of days, he had finally led his Mist ninja to their destination.

No one knew how long Hozuki Mangetsu had been longing for this opportunity in his heart.

A "gentleman's agreement" from two years ago had led Hozuki Mangetsu, after failing to compete for the position of Mizukage, to voluntarily become the Mist Anbu Chief under Mizunuki Ryosuke, thereby presiding over the work of the Mist Mist Anbu.

Although this move could be seen as a way to retreat in order to advance and protect himself,

from then on, Hozuki Mangetsu chose to place himself completely in the darkness.

In the Mist Village, ever since Mizunuki Ryosuke inherited the title of Fourth Mizukage, all the glory of the entire Mist had been concentrated on Ryosuke.

Everyone had overlooked this once sharp-edged and famous genius of the Mist—Hozuki Mangetsu.

Almost all Mist ninja knew that the Mist Anbu Chief Hozuki Mangetsu was extremely inscrutable, but if one were to ask to what extent Hozuki Mangetsu's strength had reached, no one could say for sure.

Because since succeeding as Mist Anbu Chief, Hozuki Mangetsu had never made a move in public.

In other words, those who had seen Hozuki Mangetsu's methods were already dead.

No one was willing to remain in the shadows forever, and Hozuki Mangetsu was naturally no exception. Do not forget, he was only a young man in his twenties.

It was not that Hozuki Mangetsu had any dissatisfaction with Mizunuki Ryosuke, or that he still harbored any covetousness for the position of Mizukage.

The reason was simple: what young man would not want to enjoy the feeling of being famous throughout the ninja world?

Almost every Mist ninja understood that the status of the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, was unshakable.

At present, Ryosuke was the "soul" of the Mist; Hozuki Mangetsu was quite clear and very certain of this fact.

"The number one Mist Anbu Chief in the ninja world—this title doesn't seem bad either."

Hozuki Mangetsu muttered to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Just as Hozuki Mangetsu was staring blankly at the coastline of the Land of Moon with burning eyes, the cry of an animal caught his attention.

"Meow~"

"Chief Hozuki, news has come from Lord Mizukage saying that we can attack at will."

Hozuki Mangetsu followed the sound and saw a ninja cat with coffee-colored fur, wearing a Mist headband around its neck, reporting to him.

After the ninja cat clan joined the Mist, in addition to serving as attending physicians at the ninja cat hospital, some ninja cats skilled in combat were incorporated into various departments of the Mist and treated as combat personnel.

Especially by virtue of the characteristics of the "Summoning Technique," the Land of Cats, where the ninja cats resided, became the Mist's natural intelligence transmission agency.

At critical moments, Mizunuki Ryosuke could use the summoning scrolls of the ninja cat clan to transmit the intelligence he wanted to convey to anyone who had signed a summoning contract with the ninja cat clan.

"Very good!"

Upon hearing this, Hozuki Mangetsu grinned, revealing a smile full of fighting spirit.

"Have everyone get ready; we are going to start 'working'."

Looking at the distant coastline, Hozuki Mangetsu's smile became increasingly flamboyant.

And behind him, the Mist Anbu elites on the warships took out masks with Mist characteristics one after another, covering their faces.

In an instant, a chilling murderous aura spread from the warships toward the coast.

Like a group of reapers emerging from the mist, they were about to raid their prey.

The eastern coast of the Land of Moon had an extremely long coastline because the Land of Moon was bordered by the sea on two sides.

And in the east of the Land of Moon, it faced a vast ocean.

There was originally no need for defense here, but theoretically, there was a possibility that Cloud ninja could raid from the coast.

Therefore, Onoki had dispatched one thousand Rock ninja to be stationed here to prevent any raids that might appear at any time.

At present, the frontal battlefield between the Cloud and Rock was already in a state of total chaos. The Third Raikage Ai and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki were both personally sitting in command on the front lines. Both sides were already completely red-eyed, and the intensity of the slaughter between the two sides was pushed to the limit.

Under these circumstances, except for a few troops guarding other critical locations, the remaining combat power had all been transferred to the front.

Consequently, the Rock ninja guarding the eastern coastline were undoubtedly already in "heaven" at this moment.

Compared to the bloody slaughter on the front lines, wasn't the eastern coast of the Land of Moon "heaven"?

They were far from the clamor of the front lines and only needed to stare blankly at the sea here. Under the immense pressure of the frontal battlefield between the two sides, the Cloud had no ability to send troops to attack the eastern coast of the Land of Moon.

Consequently, the Rock ninja here had long ago entered "worry-free" mode in their hearts.

"Haa~"

"..."

The Rock ninja responsible for guarding the coast and surveying the situation yawned, his eyes filled with weariness.

After all, it was just a monotonous coastline. It felt novel to look at occasionally, but after looking at it for a long time, it was inevitable to feel bored.

When he turned his head to look, he saw that his companion had already covered his eyes with his headband and was lying on the ground, fast asleep in a daze.

"This guy..."

This Rock ninja complained unhappily and shook his head helplessly.

When he turned his eyes back to the coastline, he saw a "thin line" like a silver thread rolling in from the surface of the sea.

At first, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, or that it was something like sea waves, so he rubbed his eyes and looked toward the sea surface again.

He saw that the original "thin line," which looked like a silver thread, was becoming more and more obvious. Silver stripes were entrenched between the sky and the ocean, appearing extremely poetic.

This endless silver thread seemed to be cutting the sea surface into two parts, completely separating the azure sky and the blue ocean into two colors.

"So beautiful..."

This Rock ninja sighed from the bottom of his heart; he had never seen such a beautiful scene before.

The Land of Earth had a vast territory, and although part of its territory bordered the sea, most people in the Land of Earth had actually never seen the sea in their entire lives, and they were not clear about some ocean phenomena.

What this Rock ninja did not know was that the more beautiful things were, the more dangerous they were.

More importantly, he did not know that such a beautiful scene often occurred on the eve of an ocean disaster known as a "tsunami."

The eye-catching silver "thin line" in the distance became more and more obvious, and this Rock ninja finally felt that something was wrong.

Looking closely again, where was this any "silver thread"? It was clearly a giant wave sweeping in from the surface of the sea!

The Rock ninja only felt his body trembling constantly, and he roared to the sky with a trembling voice.

"Enemy attack!!!!"
