Chapter 168 Goodbye Mei Terumi (Part and )

"Running so fast?"

Hanekawa looked at Tsunade who was disappearing and couldn't help but feel it was a pity.

Just a few seconds, it is really too short.

But Hanekawa noticed that Tsunade was a little different from before.

This was undoubtedly a change that excited him.

Hanekawa took a deep breath, took out his sleeping bag and got in.

Since the camp was big enough, they didn't sleep together.

a new day.

Hanekawa was woken up by the noise.

He opened his eyes, yawned, folded up his sleeping bag, and walked out of the tent.

He is a ninja from the Sand Village.

Five hundred people, led by Maki, entered the camp in an orderly manner.

He was greeted by Nara Suzaku of Konoha Village.

The Nara clan, because of their extremely high IQ, often serve in positions such as military strategists.

Nara Shikaku followed Orochimaru to the Frost Country.

In the Kingdom of Rivers, the scale of the war was relatively small, so it was handed over to Nara Suzaku.

As for Tsunade, she was probably not awake at this time.

Because there were not enough tents, the ninjas of the Sand Village were already building new tents, making quite a bit of noise.

Hanekawa looked around, but apart from Maki, he didn't find any other Sand Ninja he knew.

This is also normal.

The Sand Ninjas he was familiar with, Chiyo, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro were not there.

Gaara and Kankuro were not yet born, and Temari was not even one year old.

"Good morning, Hanekawa."

Xiurihong came out of the tent not far away. When she saw him, she ran over with a smile.

"How did you sleep?"

Hanekawa naturally held her hand.

"pretty good."

Yuhi Kurenai was a little embarrassed, but let him hold her hand.

"What a passionate youth!"

Matt Day suddenly appeared and asked, "Want to go for a morning run?"

Yuhi Kurenai subconsciously pulled her hand back.

"Uncle Dai, we are in wartime now, so save your physical energy for the next enemy."

Hanekawa glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and said with a smile.

I wasn't shy just now, but I became shy when a third person appeared.

But it's quite fun.

"you're right!"

Matt Dai glanced around and asked impatiently, "When are we going to do the mission?"

"Wait for the teacher to arrange it."

Hanekawa paused and said, "Uncle Dai, don't worry, there will definitely be a task that will satisfy you."

“It’s really exciting!”

Matt Day said excitedly.

Xihihong listened quietly to the conversation between the two people.

She couldn't quite understand Matt Day's obsession with youth.

But she chose to respect.

But Hanekawa can talk about everything, he's better than her.

"Come over and eat."

After a moment, Yuhi Shinku waved to them.

The breakfast was not bad, but not great either, just rice balls.

It was hot though and tasted ok.

Tsunade pouted.

Although it wasn't bad, she was used to eating the food made by Hanekawa, so she felt that this rice ball was not very appetizing.

She ate only half full and stopped eating.

Tsunade planned to wait until noon and ask Hanekawa to prepare a special meal for her.

"Tsunade-sama."

Nara Suzaku walked in, "All the ninjas of the Sand Village have been arranged."

Behind him, followed Maki.

"Tsunade-sama."

Maki said respectfully, "Granny Chiyo told us to obey your orders."

Chiyo knew very well that Konoha needed her help, so the Sand Village had to actively cooperate.

Besides, there is no shame in following Tsunade's orders.

"Call all the jonin for a meeting."

Tsunade stood up and said, "Let's go to the main tent."

"Yes."

Everyone said in unison.

Hanekawa followed Tsunade to the main tent.

He stood aside and waited quietly.

Soon, all the jonin from Konoha Village and Sand Village arrived.

Hanekawa was surprised to find that there were nine jonin from the Hyuga clan.

Compared to the total number of 500, the number of nine jonin is quite astonishing.

This may be an investment of the Hyuga clan.

Of course, the Byakugan can indeed play a big role in dealing with the Mist Hidden Technique of the Mist Village.

"Let's have a meeting."

Tsunade glanced around and said.

"Hinata Ce led the Hyuga clan's ninjas to investigate the situation in the Hidden Mist Village last night."

Nara Suzaku was the first to speak.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes fell on a young man in the crowd.

"The ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village are currently active in the southern part of the River Country. We have not found their base camp, but only five outposts."

Hinata Tsuru stepped forward and reported, "At the same time, we saw their transport ship on the beach."

"really."

Tsunade looked thoughtful and said, "I guess their base camp and supply point are on the sea."

"The Hidden Mist Village is good at water jutsu. It's quite disadvantageous to fight them at sea."

Nara Suzaku said with a frown.

"Can we just wait for them to make the first move?"

Maki couldn't help but say, "This is too passive!"

"Of course we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "First, eliminate their outposts, then find their base camp and supply points."

Although the Hidden Mist Village is good at water-based jutsu, both its base camp and supply point require land, that is, islands.

"Yes."

Everyone said in unison.

"Start assigning tasks now."

Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and said.

Because she suddenly discovered that he was the strongest water-style ninja here, followed by Kurenai Yuhi.

As for the Sand Village, it’s better not to mention it.

The Kingdom of Wind is full of deserts. Who would have the leisure to learn water escape techniques? That would only bring trouble upon oneself.

Three hours later, the task assignment was completed and Hanekawa's team was given the task of sea exploration.

"This is a joint mission."

Tsunade reached the entrance to the camp and stopped.

"Who else?"

Yuhi Kurenai asked curiously.

"He's a ninja from the Hyuga clan."

Hanekawa explained, "Our mission is to explore the sea, which will be easier to accomplish with the Byakugan."

"This is true."

Xihi Kurenai said with some envy, "Baiyan is really convenient."

Although the Byakugan's performance is average compared to the Mangekyō Sharingan, it is very useful for ordinary ninjas.

Telescope, perspective and insight are all godly functions.

If put in the game, it would be like cheating.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Lady Tsunade."

A sudden voice sounded.

Hanekawa looked back and saw it was Hinata Saku.

Besides him, there are three other young men with Byakugan.

“These are my three students.”

Hinata Ce took the initiative to introduce.

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows.

He knew one of them, his name was Hyuga Kamon.

In the original work, he is a Jonin of the Hyuga clan and does not have many roles.

He was mainly responsible for support and perception work during the Fourth Ninja World War, and did not have any highlight moments.

"My plan is to track the transport ship." Tsunade said after they got to know each other.

"Yes."

Everyone said in unison.

"The key to this mission is the Byakugan."

Tsunade said seriously, "You are responsible for exploration and mapping."

"understand!"

Hinata Ce quickly answered.

This is undoubtedly a high requirement for their Hyuga team.

But Hinata Tsaku was happy to see it.

Because of the battle with the Hidden Mist Village, the Hyuga clan sent many members of the clan in order to perform well in front of Tsunade.

Now is the best opportunity, he can't fail here.

"set off!"

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

A group of eight people ran away from the camp.

They headed south and arrived at the seaside two hours later.

"wait."

Tsunade glanced at the empty sea and spoke softly.

Everyone nodded and found a secluded place to hide.

Time passes slowly.

Just when Hanekawa thought they were going to return empty-handed, a ship approached from afar.

He couldn't help but feel refreshed.

After the transport ship docked, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas appeared and began to move the supplies.

"There are eight ninjas on board. Judging by the chakra levels, there are two jonin, three chuunin, and three genin."

Hinata Ce's eyes widened, and the meridians in his eye sockets suddenly bulged.

This is a sign that the eye roll is on.

"Hanekawa."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "You are good at water jutsu, so follow us nearby. We will be a little late."

"Ok."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

“Don’t get too close.”

Tsunade added, "If you are discovered, run back immediately and we will pick you up."

Hinata Ce subconsciously glanced at Hanekawa.

To be honest, he was skeptical.

Because Hanekawa is too young.

And how could a student of Tsunade know water jutsu? Even if he knew, he couldn't be stronger than the jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, right?
"Their transportation is complete, and the transport ship will probably be returning soon."

Hinata Ce reminded.

As for Hanekawa, since it was Tsunade's order, he didn't dare to question it and could only believe it first.

Water Style: Water Flash Technique!
Hanekawa formed a seal with one hand, turned into a pool of water, and disappeared in front of them.

This is the water-style ninjutsu gained from torturing Hanzo's corpse.

Hanekawa feels like it's Suigetsu Hozuki's water transformation technique, which is very useful and can make one immune to physical attacks for a moment.

The weakness is also obvious, that is ninjutsu attack, especially lightning escape.

Hinata Ce immediately showed a surprised expression.

Is there such a water-style ninjutsu?

Hanekawa shuttled through the sea and soon approached the transport ship.

He kept a certain distance and followed them at a leisurely pace.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the Yin Seal, otherwise, he would not have had enough chakra to swim in the sea for so long.

About an hour later, Hanekawa suddenly perked up.

He saw an island. As expected, it was the base camp or supply point of the Hidden Mist Village.

Hanekawa formed seals with his hands and closed his eyes.

Soon, he frowned.

There was a barrier on the island that prevented him from spying.

Hanekawa thought about it, then continued swimming forward for a while, turning on the eight-fold scope at the same time.

The transport ship stopped at the shore and a group of people came out.

Hanekawa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He saw a familiar figure, Mei Terumi.

Although I haven't seen her for a long time, her features are too obvious, especially her long curly reddish-brown hair.

Next to her was a young man with long green hair and two swords on his back.

Although Hanekawa had never seen him before, he roughly guessed his identity.

He is Kurokochi Raiga, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The twin swords he carries on his back are called Raiga.

In the original work, after he rebelled against the village, he occupied a gold mine, oppressed the villagers, and eventually died at the hands of Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto.

"It looks like I've found the right place."

Thinking of this, Hanekawa stepped back.

A few minutes later, he saw Tsunade standing on the sea.

Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin didn't have enough chakra to last that long, so they just followed on the shore.

Just in case, let Hinata Ce protect them.

"How's it going?"

Tsunade looked at him.

"There is a barrier on the island. I can't sense what's going on inside, but I saw Black Hoe Thunder Fang."

Hanekawa's whole body was submerged in the water, with only his head floating on the surface.

He wraps his entire body with water chakra, allowing him to swim freely in the water like a fish.

Of course the main reason is that stepping on the sea is too conspicuous and can be easily discovered.

Tsunade's eyes flickered as she pondered what to do next.

Hanekawa looked up at her.

What catches the eye is a pair of long legs, followed by a slender waist and a heavy burden.

"Forget it, our mission is to explore, not to fight."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I'll go notify Hinata Ce to come over."

She formed seals with her hands and created a shadow clone, which flew away at an extremely fast speed.

The barrier can block perception ninjutsu, but it cannot block the Byakugan.

Hanekawa had the same idea as Yuhi Kurenai, this Byakugan is really nice.

Unfortunately, the Byakugan is a bloodline limit, and no one except the Hyuga clan can possess the Byakugan.

Unless you go dig up a pair.

But the Hyuga clan branch has a bird in a cage, so they can only dig up the main family.

Hanekawa suddenly thought of Ao from the Hidden Mist Village, who was the one who obtained a Byakugan during the Third Ninja World War.

"Tsunade-sama."

Hinata Ce appeared in front of the two people.

"Just figure out the number of ninjas on the island."

Tsunami pointed to the island in the distance and said, "Be safe."

"Yes!"

Hinata Ce walked on the sea surface and quickly approached the island.

Hanekawa and Tsunade began to wait.

Ten minutes later, fog suddenly rose from the sea and covered the island in a blink of an eye.

"This is the Mist Hidden Technique!"

Seeing this, Tsunade's face changed slightly and she said, "Hinata Ce has been discovered!"

"There are three jonin chasing him."

Hanekawa formed seals with his hands, closed his eyes, and said, "Southeast direction."

"Be prepared to respond!"

Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Hanekawa was submerged in the water.

A figure flew out of the mist, it was Hinata Ce.

Just then, a roar was heard.

The sea level suddenly rose, and the sea water turned into a water dragon rushing towards the sky.

At the same time, a huge thunder ball appeared out of nowhere and hit Hinata Ce at an extremely fast speed.

Hinata Ce turned around and punched, blasting the thunder ball apart.

Just as the water dragon was about to hit him, Tsunade appeared and knocked the water dragon out with one punch.

"It turns out it's Princess Tsunade herself!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge beheading sword whistled towards Tsunade.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
A wall of water rose up, blocking the beheading sword.

"Oh? Is there another water ninja?"

Biwa Juzo looked around but didn't see Hanekawa.

"Leave him to me."

Mei Terumi suddenly guessed something and felt excited.

Since Tsunade is here, the ninja who can use water jutsu is most likely Hanekawa.

"very good."

Kurochu Raiga held his two swords and said excitedly, "Kill Tsunade and we'll have done a great deed!"
