"Hyuga Clan's Shinobi…"
Orochimaru turned his head and looked towards Taki, a meaningful smile appeared on his pale and cold face, and he said "Could it be that your identity has been discovered?"
"Who knows." Taki shrugged.
Although he knew that the target of these Hyuga Clan's Shinobi is Orochimaru, he couldn't say it.
Furthermore, if Hyuga Clan's people are allowed to see his Byakugan, they will definitely abandon Orochimaru and kill him first!
"Anyway, get on the ship and leave here quickly!" White Zetsu's clone said anxiously.
"Hey, even if you are a Shinobi, I won't compromise on the price!"
The rough captain who talked to Orochimaru and Taki about money patted his big muscle with a fierce aura!
"Really?" Orochimaru slowly raised his hand, and a green-scaled poisonous snake in his wide sleeves while hissing at the rough captain, ready to pounce.
"Of course not!"
The rough captain said righteously, "The people of the Land of Hot Water are honest and hospitable. For the sake of your hard work, we'll just follow your price!"
"Thank you very much." Orochimaru said with a cold smile.
The rough captain smiled shyly: "Of course. I'll get them to load the supplies onto the ship now. We'll be ready to sail in about five minutes."
Those of them who run the sea have already stored all kinds of supplies in the dock's warehouse. Once the fat sheep arrives, the supplies can be moved to the ship so that they can go to sea immediately!
"Five minutes? In at most two minutes, the Hyuga Clan's Shinobi will search this place."
White Zetsu's clone's eyes wandered back and forth on Orochimaru and Taki, and said, "One of you have to lead them away."
Based on his personal settings, Taki thought about the consequences for a second and then shook his head decisively: "I won't go."
White Zetsu's clone looked towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru waved his sleeves with a smile. Then, a small white snake shoots out, spraying a wet Orochimaru in mid-air.
At the other side.
After the thirteen Hyuga Clan's Branch House elites divided their search areas, they quickly searched the surrounding with Byakugan.
Suddenly.
Hizashi noticed that a clear Chakra figure appeared in his Byakugan's gray vision.
"What a powerful Chakra fluctuation!"
Hizashi frown: 'Is it Orochimaru?'
As soon as this thought appeared, Hizashi found that the Chakra figure is fleeing in the opposite direction of him at an extremely fast speed.
Hizashi's figure instantly turned into an afterimage to follow after him, and at the same time, he raised his hand to signal the others.
Boom!
Huge fireworks exploded in the middle of the pier. Apart from the onlookers on the pier, the other twelve Hyuga Clan's Branch House elites immediately rushed here as quickly as possible after seeing the signal.
Chasing after the Chakra figure, after a quarter of an hour, the thirteen Hyuga Clan's Shinobi finally blocked Orochimaru in a dead end at the pier.
It's just…
How could a Shinobi be stopped by a dead end?
What's more, the opponent is one of the legendary Sannin!
Hizashi looked Orochimaru standing in the dead end, and his face gradually darkened.
The rest of the Hyuga Clan's Branch House elites also reacted with ugly expressions one after another.
"Tell me, why did you follow me." Orochimaru looked at the thirteen Byakugan Shinobi at the entrance of the alley with a smile, and his eyes finally fell on Hizashi.
"You're just a clone, right?"
Hizashi calmed down, and said coldly, "Since you used a clone to distract me, it means that my position just now is very close to your main body!"
Orochimaru's vertical pupil shrank and he said with a smile: "As expected of the younger brother of Hyuga Clan's Clan Head."
"Orochimaru, you can't run away!"
One of the Hyuga Clan's Shinobi snorted coldly, "No matter where you escape, don't even think to get rid of us!"
"So that's how it is, your target is me…" Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked his nose, with a playful look in his eyes.
'I thought I was implicated by Hyuga Taki, but… I was inexplicably looking forward to their expression when they saw Hyuga Taki, hahahaha.'
"Stop talking nonsense with him!"
Hizashi said, "Leave five people to deal with him. The rest will go back with me!"
"Yes!"
...
When Hizashi returned to the place where Orochimaru's clone was found before, Orochimaru, Taki and White Zetsu's clone had already set sail.
Before leaving, Orochimaru deliberately destroyed all the nearby ships!
'Damn it!'
'I was careless!'
Hizashi curses in her heart.
"Hizashi, what should we do next?"
"I think we should chase them out since they haven't been out at sea for a long time!"
"No!"
Hizashi hurriedly stopped them and said, "The sea has no fixed route. Once we chase in the wrong direction, it is easy to get lost!"
'And if we got lost in the sea…'
If Kanpū is there, he will definitely chat with them, after all, he has experience in this matter.
Hizashi asks the others to check Orochimaru's destination, and at the same time, asked people to find ships that can go to sea.
When the five Hyuga Clan's Shinobi, who stayed at the dead end to deal with Orochimaru's clone, returned, Hizashi and the others have finished inquiring about the destination of the Orochimaru's group, which is exactly the Land of Water they had guessed before!
It's just that the large ships at this pier were all destroyed by Orochimaru, and the remaining small and medium-sized ships simply couldn't satisfy the heavy task of long-distance voyages.
Helpless, Hizashi and his group had to spend a day rushing to the nearby pier and rent a ship from there to go out to sea.
...
At the same time.
At Land of Fire's coastal dock, Kanpū, which also has the Land of Water as his destination, also rents a ship to go to sea on this day.
The scenery on the sea has long since looked bad on Kanpū's eyes. He hid in the cabin and slept for a few days. When he came out again, the Land of Water is already in sight.
"My lord, we've already arrived in the Land of Water."
The captain came over and said cautiously, "We may encounter Kirigakure's Shinobi if we moved further forward, how about…"
"I paid." Kanpū refused.
"My lord, Kirigakure's Shinobi is very unfriendly to foreign ships. If they break our ship…" The captain hesitated.
"I paid double the money." Kanpū once again refused.
"…"
'Can we not mention the double matter…'
The captain felt tight in his chest, but the other side is a Shinobi. He couldn't release his anger on him, so he can only order his men to continue sailing forward.
It wasn't until one nautical mile away from the coastline of the Land of Water that Kanpū jumped off the ship and left.
The captain finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered to go to a nearby small island to replenish their supplies, and then returned.
Stepping into the Land of Water's land once again, Kanpū is overwhelmed by emotions. He sprints all the way, rushing straight forward, and reached Kirigakure three days later.
Kirigakure is still hazy with the water mist, and walking in it is like being in a fairyland.
After walking for a few streets, Kanpū found that the atmosphere in Kirigakure had changed significantly.
The last time he came here, the pedestrians on the street were moving hurriedly and the eyes of the Shinobi were cold, giving people a tense and solemn feeling of wartime situation, but this time, he found that many pedestrians are walking slowly, and they're talking and laughing without worry. The street is full of joyful atmosphere.
Although the passing Kirigakure's Shinobi still kept their faces straight, they did not have the same indifferent and chilling aura as before.
Obviously, after the Genjutsu on Yondaime Mizukage was unlocked, the blood mist that enveloped Kirigakure is slowly dissipating!
Kanpū saw that it was getting late, so he planned to find an inn to stay and go to Mizukage Building tomorrow. But as a result, just after walking for two streets, a black windbreaker with red clouds pattern suddenly flashed around the corner in the distance.
'Akatsuki?!'
