0561 no action set ended (Ch 0561)

When Touji’s team returned to the Konoha warship, the horizon was already pale. Seeing Touji and his team return safely, Shisui asked in a surprised tone, “Are you all okay?”

“It’s more than good, it’s simply great!” Nachi pulled Shisui and started to talk, “You didn’t see it, just now Toushi used a super sharp ninjutsu to overturn hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas and their boats…”

Upon hearing this, the Konoha ninjas quickly gathered around him, “Brother, tell me quickly…” “What ninjutsu is that…”

Dong Si, who didn’t say anything, was left aside by everyone. Dong Si and Zao Jian looked at each other, smiles appeared in their eyes, and they squeezed out of the crowd, leaving Shisui there being “captured” by Nachi, looking here and there, as if wanting Dong Si to help him out.

“You’re really hardworking to conduct experiments during combat.” Zao Jian had a look of joy on his face, and his tone was not as dull as usual.

Walking to the stern, Dong Si held onto the railing and tried to look at the Kirigakure fleet. “Isn’t it the same for the protagonists in movies? They suddenly find a solution.”

Just as Dong Si said this, he felt a strange blankness in his mind, or a flash of white light. “It has come to this day that I actually start to say that I am the protagonist.”

“…” Zao Jian was thinking silently about something, and suddenly spoke again, “Judging from the final results, you have become a strategic-level ace ninja, Dong Si.”

In the morning, there were only a few people who could take care of a whole boatload of people in one go.

“I’m still far from it, but all factors happened to cooperate with me.” Dong Si was secretly happy, but he had to pretend to be calm and modest. In fact, he was already thinking about how to replicate similar moves in the next battle.

Suddenly remembering that Zao Jin was often a rather eccentric person, if he really thought he was stronger, he might have to apply for a difficult mission next time. Dong Si quickly explained, “Anyway, it was just luck. You saw it with your own eyes. Don’t learn from Nachi.”

Dong Si said, looking back at Nachi who was exaggerating in the middle of the crowd, and couldn’t help rubbing his temple. When did Nachi become so talkative?

“It was only after I witnessed your rapid progress in just a few months that I became more convinced that it was the right decision to join your special operations team.” Zao Jian patted Dong Si’s arm, which was rare, and grinned, “I can’t fall too far behind, otherwise I will have to ask you not to use secret techniques next time we spar.”

“You don’t want to defeat me in the competition and become my team leader, do you?” Dong Si deliberately exaggerated his surprise.

Unexpectedly, Zaojian put away his smile and nodded seriously.

“Okay, I can’t relax for a moment since you’re watching me.” Dong Si felt a sudden sense of enlightenment in his heart, and he felt heavy and light at the same time. He couldn’t tell what it was, but the word “protagonist” kept coming to his mind, and every time he thought of it, his heart was filled with ups and downs.

At this time, the ninja on the mast shouted, “All Kirigakure ships, turn around!”

Everyone on the ship crowded to the stern, and some even jumped onto the mast and the side of the ship to try to see.

Toushi pushed aside the overactive ninjas and came to Shisui, glancing over, he saw that the Konoha ninjas on the neighboring boat were also cheering, but they were not so crowded together.

“It seems that I, as the temporary squadron leader, am not strict enough in management.” Seeing Dong Si’s wandering eyes, Shisui smiled awkwardly.

“When there’s no combat, the discipline of some guys is a little lacking, but you still have a hundred people on your ship. I guess you’re doing better than most squadron leaders.” Dong Si could see that Shisui, who looked much more mature, had also grown a lot in some aspects.

Shisui changed the subject, “We’ve arrived at the Land of Whirlpools.”
