"But no matter what , the captain is already a very famous ninja now." Renjuro said this, as if he wanted to get back to the topic.
Hanyu assassinated the leader of Amegakure. In fact, this statement is more like a deliberate rumor than a false rumor. Just look at Renjuro, and it can be seen that gossip is a human nature, and even ninjas are no exception.
So Hanyu simply ignored him and continued to ask Nagisa, "What is today's mission? Is it also a routine patrol?"
"Well, the disturbance in Kirigakure a while ago has disappeared, and they have become quiet again," Nagisa emphasized this information again, as if to increase his confidence, "so our missions are not so frequent and high-intensity. Now we just make a circle on the sea every day."
"Where's the line?"
"We will start from the sea area south of Whirlpool Country and conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Kirigakure, but we will not cross the median line between the two countries' sea areas. After making a circle, we will return from the north of Whirlpool Country. This circular reconnaissance route has not changed much now. It is our established patrol route."
It is certainly impossible for one small team to monitor the entire vast ocean, but Konoha's reconnaissance team certainly cannot be limited to this one. What's more, in addition to Konoha's reconnaissance team, there is also the Whirlpool Country and the Uzumaki Clan. Therefore, the intensity of Konoha's reconnaissance is considerable. If Kirigakure has any large-scale operations, it is basically impossible to escape their eyes.
"I see. It sounds like an outing, just going out to sea to see the water... Come to think of it, I haven't seen the sea for a long time. Now I'm in the mood for sightseeing. So when does the mission start?" Hanyu asked.
"We can set off at any time." Nagisa said.
They are all ninjas, so they certainly won't stop their daily tasks because of Hanyu's arrival. Also, because Hanyu came here slowly, there is no need for rest, so he can directly participate in the tasks.
"Then let's get ready and set off." Hanyu said this and walked out of the cabin first.
Speaking of which, he is still just a Genin, but after returning to his team, he can give orders naturally, and the other members of the team are happy to listen to him.
Although they said they were ready to set off, there was actually nothing to prepare. After all, it was just a routine mission, so Yasanagi just brought a falcon and the team set off.
The ninjas went into the sea without even needing a boat. Team Hanyu left the shore and walked into the depths of the sea just by walking on the water.
Not long after leaving the Land of Fire and stepping onto the sea, Hanyu saw a not-so-big island. Then he stopped. Based on the geographical knowledge in his mind, he could determine that this island was the Land of Whirlpools.
"Hanyu, is there any problem? We... are going to visit the Land of Whirlpools?" Seeing him stop, Nagisa tried to ask. At this time, he thought that Hanyu came here and might have a secret mission related to the Land of Whirlpools.
"No, nothing, it's not the right time yet." Hanyu shook his head and continued walking forward.
After passing the Land of Whirlpools, we walked forward and saw no more obstructions. All we could see was the calm or rough sea. This sense of vastness and openness gave Hanyu a sense of freedom to express his feelings. The world is like the sea, but life can be independent. Isn't that wonderful?
Hanyu was a very honest man. Since the Third Hokage asked him to relax, his attention was not on the mission at all, but just on the scenery. Under his leadership, although the team did not cross the median line of the sea, they gradually deviated from the established patrol route.
Yes, Hanyu was quite honest on this trip, but there is a problem... Objective existence will never change because of Hanyu's subjective mood, and the law of causality in nature does not allow him to relax whenever he wants.
Due to the constant wind and waves, the ups and downs of the sea, the deeper you go into the sea, in fact, everything is not as clear as you imagine . It is very easy to hide a few people in the ups and downs of the waves. Even if there are no reconnaissance ninjas, even if two different teams of ninjas get very close, they may not be able to find anything.
Hanyu's team wandered around the sea for a long time, nominally to enjoy the scenery but actually to drink the northwest wind for so long, when something suddenly happened.
Renjuro, who was walking normally on the sea, suddenly crouched down. After seeing his action, the other members of the team also crouched down without hesitation.
"What's going on?" Hanyu asked in a low voice.
"Someone approached the surveillance buoy I set up on the sea. It should be a medium-sized ninja team. I estimate that there are about 20 people, and they are heading due south. But I have no way to confirm the actual distance between them...but because they are beyond my personal detection range, then conservatively speaking, the team should be several kilometers away." Renjuro said.
His "eye-insertion" reconnaissance can play a greater role on the sea. As long as he puts his reconnaissance technique into a drifting bottle and then throws it into the sea, he never knows when he will be able to get important intelligence by chance.
However, the amazing thing is that until now, Hanyu still hasn't figured out what Renjuro's reconnaissance ability is. He can use techniques to determine the size and direction of the enemy, but he can't confirm the distance between them... It's really contradictory.
"A ninja team of this size is definitely not Konoha's reconnaissance team. The possibility that they are the enemy is very high. It seems that we have to get closer and investigate what is going on." Hanyu sighed and said this.
The remaining three people looked at each other and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
"It's such a bad year. I just came here to travel, why did I have to deal with something like this... Could it be that someone among you is in your zodiac year?" Hanyu was not joking, he really felt that way.
He, Hanyu Yu, is clearly a victim.
This kind of natural blame-shifting really makes people speechless. Isn't it clear enough who has the unlucky physique?
Before Hanyu came here, everyone's reconnaissance activities were normal and they hadn't encountered any special situations. However, he had only been here for less than twelve hours when the team ran into trouble.
To whom can the three people tell their grievances?
Next, according to Hanyu's request, the team quietly moved in that direction, and finally the team of ninjas appeared in the field of vision.
Nagisa seized the opportunity and looked at the group of people through a telescope from a distance. Then his pupils shrank slightly, and the appearance of the leading ninja appeared clearly in his eyes.
Then, Nagisa took a deep breath, then stepped back and said, "We've run into a big problem. It's the Kirigakure ninjas, and the one leading them is the one wearing particularly flashy clothes. If I'm not mistaken, he should be Hozuki Gengetsu."
"Who?" Hanyu had been working on the western front, so he didn't react for a moment to what the name Nagisa said meant.
So, Nagisa repeated, "The leader is the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu."
The three people had already prepared themselves for the possibility of getting into trouble. After all, with Hanyu here, the team would always encounter some unexpected situations. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always had a feeling that they were at the center of some events. However, reality always brings surprises to people. Trouble is trouble, but after all, no one expected that they would encounter such a big thing, right?
