General P.O.V.
After crushing the heart of the man from the Hozuki clan, Yoriichi searched every nook and cranny of the ship and even the dead bodies to find anything precious.
If Ashira saw his grandson, the heir of the Uzumaki clan and the prime candidate for the position of next Uzukage behave like a scavenger and thief, he would die from embarrassment.
Yoriichi placed anything valuable he found inside a storage scroll. He collected various things from the ship ranging from money, metals, gems and jewellery.
"The money alone amounts to 18 million ryo. Why do they have so much of it? Maybe sensei was right, they are hired help and this money should be their payment. Oh well, I hope the mist send more of such mercenaries after my head." Yoriichi mumbled
'But that means the other ships would also have a lot of money, I should go there. I am not going there for the money but to help Genkai Sensei in his battle against pirates. That's right.' Yoriichi shamelessly thought as he flickered towards the next pirate ship.
--Meanwhile on Hiromi and Hisame's side---
After Yoriichi and Genkai departed, Hisame summoned his summoning beast i.e. sharks. They were not as strong as the toad summons of Jiraya individually or snake summons of Orichimaru.
Their power lay in their numbers. In water, they are the most dangerous beasts.
They were not strong in ninjutsu except in water style ninjutsu but they could use a little lightning chakra.
They could cover their shark fins with lightning chakra and that was the only thing they needed to deal with the Hozuki members underwater.
As for sensing them, they are the apex predators underwater and nothing in their range can escape from them.
The sharks slammed their lightning fins into the Hozukis that were in their water form.
The lightning electrocuted them but it was not strong enough to harm them. But the lightning made the Hozukis change back to the normal forms. Before they could turn back into water, the sharks had already bit their teeth in their necks or heads which resulted in their swift deaths.
The surrounding water around the merchant ship was red from the blood of the Hozuki Shinobi.
"Good Job, shark face." Hiromi said to Hisame while healing the cloud Shinobi who were injured.
Hisame just nodded not minding her comment as he knew she always insults people. She even insulted the Uzukage once by calling him an old geezer who is too old to continue be an Uzukage. The reason she insulted him was because she was too bored and annoyed doing D- rank missions and she wanted to do missions where she can kill people.
The cloud Shinobis were surprised to see the Hozuki Shinobi that they struggled with, were dealt with so quickly. It was not surprising since Hisame was in the Uzushiogakure team because he was lethal near water or in water.
"They were all chunins. There should be atleast one Jonin who should be leading them. So be on your guard." Hisame said realising that the Jonins of Hozuki clan would not so easily be dealt with. If only he knew that Yoriichi has dealt with the leader of the Hozuki team in seconds.
The attacks from the pirate ships stopped after some time so everyone relaxed but they were still on their guards.
"Why have the attacks stopped? Why are the pirates not attacking anymore? Is it another one of their traps?" Those were the questions in the minds of the Kumo Shinobi.
Though Hisame and Hiromi knew that the pirates were facing a nightmare at this time by facing Yoriichi and Genkai.
------Meanwhile on Genkai's side----
As soon as Pirates on the two ships saw the person who was rushing at them was Genkai Uzumaki, without a second thought they all stopped their ninjutsu attacks on the merchant ship and the cloud Shinobi and ordered the helmsman to turn the ship around and run far away.
Alas, they all forgot Genkai's latest entry on the bingo book. Genkai Uzumaki can teleport himself through shadows.
Genkai appeared behind the Jonin as he stabbed the kunai in his neck. The chunins released several ninjutsu at him in panic only for Genkai to absorb him in his hand.
He was about to release it back but remembered Yoriichi saying not to destroy the ship.
'What a drag!' Genkai grumbled as he started killing the pirates without doing much damage to the ship.
After clearing the first ship, he went to the next ship. He also slaughtered everyone on the third ship easily.
As Genkai killed the last pirate, He saw Yoriichi arrive panting. Yoriichi had finished looting the second ship and had reached the third ship to 'help' Genkai clear the ship.
"Why are you here Yoriichi? Did not I tell you to clear the first ship? Are you defying my orders as soon as you became a Jonin? Maybe the Uzukage made the wrong decision to promote you to such an important position at such a young age." Genkai said annoyed
"You are wrong sensei. I was just worried about you so I dealt with the first ship as quickly as possible then I came here to help you. Let me check the ship for any prisoners or important intel. You should go and help Hisame and Hiromi." saying that Yoriichi moved to collect his 'loot'.
Genkai looked dumbfounded at Yoriichi's innocent expression as he said that. From Yoriichi's words it appeared that he was selfless but Genkai knew how greedy his student was. Helping him? Bullshit?
'SHAMELESS!' That was the only thought in Genkai's mind.
