Chapter 77 Confirming Enemy Locations, Raiga and Ranmaru
"seal up……"
On the ship's roof, Ishikawa slapped his hands together on the spell scroll and gave a low shout. Qingming's head immediately turned into white smoke with a bang and was sealed and stored away.
After finishing all that, Ishikawa didn't rest. He immediately grabbed the scroll and ran to the cabin. With the help of 0.2 calories of chakra and the soldier's ration pills, Ishikawa's aftereffects of spiritualization were not as severe as before.
As for Black Hawk? He was already out of the picture and returned to the back mountains of Konoha, ready to be deployed at any time.
"Teacher, something's wrong!" Pushing open the cabin door, Ishikawa, panting and sweating, shouted seriously to Kakashi.
"You said..." Kakashi, who was leaning against the headboard, was startled and stared at Ishikawa with a searching gaze, waiting for an answer. He vividly remembered Ishikawa possessing Black Hawk to go on patrol earlier.
"There's a small boat tailing us from the southeast; we're probably being watched!" Ishikawa said bluntly, without wasting any words.
Regardless of whether there was a problem with the ship or not, he wanted to use this as an excuse to divert attention from his purpose of possessing Black Hawk.
Are you sure??
"I'm sure, I've been watching them for half an hour!"
Hearing Ishikawa's affirmative reply, Kakashi finally took it seriously.
"Go and tell Tarojiro to prepare for battle. I'm going to find Mr. Chokichi." After giving these instructions, Kakashi immediately got up and went to the client's room.
Seeing this, Ishikawa did not delay and followed closely behind to call Tarojiro.
Five minutes later, in the cargo ship's bridge.
"Change course. I need to check if the cargo ship is being watched." With the client's consent, Kakashi gave the order, and the helmsman quickly carried out the command to change course.
"In the darkness of the night, how can we be sure if we're being watched? Even if we are, they won't see us if we change direction, so how can they confirm it?" Taro wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking very puzzled.
“That’s right! Kakashi-sensei. That must be why the enemy is following us under the cover of darkness. We can’t see anything at all in the middle of the night,” Jiro added, making the client turn pale.
Although he believed in Kakashi's abilities, this was at sea! If the cargo ship were attacked and damaged by the enemy, he would truly be bankrupt...
"Don't worry, if we're really being watched, I'm sure they have ways to track us. And I also have ways to find them!" Kakashi gave his client a reassuring look and a confident smile.
Although he didn't know how the enemy tracked him, he was certain they did. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to find the ship, let alone rob it.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's face suddenly darkened. "So, if they are indeed the enemy, they should also be launching a surprise attack tonight, otherwise we would have discovered them by dawn."
Preemptively warning the others, Kakashi bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu..."
With a bang, the ninja dog Pakkun made a dazzling appearance once again!
"Parker, you check if we're being followed."
"Huh? My tracking skills aren't very effective at sea." Pakku complained, smelling the salty sea breeze, upon hearing Kakashi's order.
Despite his complaints, he still turned around and ran to the deck to take a deep sniff.
"There is indeed the scent of ninjas! However, due to the sea breeze, I cannot confirm the number and strength of the enemy; I can only confirm that they are two kilometers behind us."
"Two kilometers?" Kakashi murmured as he chased after them, and once again instructed the helmsman to change course.
As expected, this change of course caused the small boat to change course and follow suit quickly...
"They've caught up. It's definitely the enemy." Pak took a careful sniff and finally confirmed, causing Kakashi and Ishikawa to frown simultaneously.
Kakashi hadn't expected the enemy's tracking technique to be so advanced, while Ishikawa hadn't expected that the ship to actually be the enemy!
"Oh no, we've alerted them!" Suddenly, Ishikawa realized something, his expression changed, and he shouted a warning.
While changing course to test the enemy, they were also indirectly reminding the enemy that they had been exposed. As the exposed party, the enemy had no choice but to retreat or launch a night attack in advance.
"Of course I know that. Doing this is actually a way to intimidate and test the other side. It would be best if they backed down, but if they faced the challenge head-on, it means that the enemy's strength might not be so simple!" Kakashi glanced admiringly at Ishikawa and shrugged helplessly, then looked at Pakkun questioningly.
"Sorry, Kakashi. You might be in trouble..." Pakkun shook his head and sighed in a human-like manner, indirectly indicating that the enemy had caught up.
"In that case, we have no choice but to strike first and avoid taking action on the cargo ship to prevent losses!" Ishikawa's eyes sharpened; he didn't want his ninja tools, which he had bought for 100,000 taels, to be damaged.
“Yes, yes, this guy is right.” The client immediately agreed, looking at Ishikawa with eyes full of emotion, almost to the point of tears.
Although he understood that the other party might be worried about his truckload of goods, he, as the client, would suffer the greatest loss if something really happened!
"Taro and Jiro, you two stay with Puck and guard the cargo ship just in case. Ishikawa and I will go and intercept the enemy. Make sure to keep them outside the cargo ship." Kakashi made a quick decision and assigned the tasks. If anything happened to the cargo ship, their mission would be considered a failure.
"Kakashi-sensei, I know Water Release ninjutsu, let me go and intercept the enemy too!" Seeing that Kakashi and Ishikawa were about to leave, Jiro quickly stepped forward and volunteered.
This gesture immediately warmed the hearts of both Kakashi and Ishikawa...
"No need. It's precisely because you know Water Release that I asked you to leave your defenses." Kakashi refused decisively, and without turning his head, he beckoned Ishikawa to jump off the ship and rush forward to intercept him.
at the same time.
"Heh, split up the forces?" Hearing the whispered reminder from behind, the green-haired burly man grinned and made his decision.
"You two dive underwater and take care of the guys on the cargo ship, then head straight for the port of the Land of Rivers. We'll meet up with you after we've dealt with those two..."
"Yes, boss." Two of the four men behind the burly man immediately accepted the order and jumped into the sea with a splash, diving toward the cargo ship.
"Don't be careless, Raiga. The opponent is also a Konoha Jonin with a dojutsu, the legendary Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi..." Suddenly, not long after the two underlings left, a clear voice rang out from behind the green-haired burly man.
"Kakashi with Sharingan? Heh, how can that guy's eye technique compare to your abilities, Ranmaru!" The green-haired burly man named Raiga scoffed, his hatred and killing intent barely concealed in his eyes. "Today, I will use Kakashi's head to wash away the shame that guy brought me in the last battle..."
"I will help you, Raiga."
"We are too, Black Hoe Boss."
Upon hearing the shouts in his ears, Lei Ya immediately felt a surge of heroic spirit and formed hand seals.
"Then let the guys from Konoha experience the power of our Kurosuki clan! Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique..."
