Crash——

The huge ship broke through the waves and sailed on the blue sea, leaving behind undulating white ripples.

This three-story ship of considerable size is the exclusive means of transportation for the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. Not only is it magnificent in appearance, but it also carries a number of elite ninjas on this trip, and the entire ship is heavily guarded.

The reason is very simple. There are many islands around the Water Country, and many families were born there. In the Warring States Period, the Ice Clan, which is the family of the first Mizukage Byakuren, stood out from the crowd and established its dominant position in the Water Country in one fell swoop. Later, it reached a cooperation with the Daimyo Prefecture of the Water Country and formed a one-country, one-village system.

Although the Ice Clan took the lead in establishing the Hidden Mist Village and had the support of the Kidō clan, the Hozumi clan and other clans, there were also many remaining hostile forces. The village had only been established for a few years at this time, and the prestige of the Kage was not enough to deter the villains from all sides, and there were often some desperate ninjas who tried to assassinate the Mizukage.

After all, during this period of time, even Hashirama had someone who dared to assassinate him (I won’t tell you who it was), let alone the Mizukage, whose reputation was not as good as Hashirama’s.

Therefore, every time Bai Lian went far away from the Water Kingdom, he would bring a group of elite soldiers with him. It was not because he was afraid, but simply because he was afraid of trouble. If he had to do it himself every time, he would be exhausted to death.

At this time, on the third floor of the ship building, in the spacious room in the center, Bai Lian was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch in the middle, with several figures sitting scattered below. In addition to the well-known Ghost Lantern Huanyue and Shui Wu, there were also several high-ranking elders of the Hidden Mist Village.

Bai Lian stroked the teacup in his hand. Although his eyes were a little uncoordinated, they still revealed a fierce momentum. “Through this experience, I found that except for the Sand Village, the other four ninja villages are no worse than our Kirigakure Village in terms of ninja strength and village construction. They have even surpassed us, especially Flame Village and Konoha. The power they hold even makes me worried. Now tell me what you think.”

The room suddenly fell silent. Bai Lian brought so many people this time. Except for his own team going to the Sand Village to participate in the competition, everyone else dispersed to investigate the current situation of each ninja village. The conclusions they came to made everyone alert.

After a moment of silence, one of the senior officials said cautiously, “I think it’s because our country is too isolated and the travel between us and the mainland is too inconvenient. In particular, there are a group of troublesome pirates on the sea, which leads to us rarely interacting with other countries. This is why our construction has always been in a closed-door dilemma.”

“I think what Master Yuan Shun said makes a lot of sense.” Shui Wu, who looked like a gentleman, said, “Although there is no shortage of resources on the sea, some resources are unique to the mainland, and these are indeed what we lack.”

Gui Deng Huan Yue frowned and said, “If we want to establish trade relations with the mainland, we must first solve the problem of pirates. I believe everyone knows that those guys are just a group of troublesome flies.”

The others nodded in agreement. This was indeed the case. Most of the pirates living around the Land of Water were losers during the Warring States Period. Because they did not accept the rule of the Hidden Mist Village, they chose to roam around the coastline and usually made a living by harassing and looting villages along the coast.

Although this group of pirates were not very powerful, they played very disgustingly. Every time the Hidden Mist Village sent people to clear them out, they would collectively go into the sea to avoid them and come back after the people left, making it impossible for the Hidden Mist Village to completely eradicate them.

Bai Lian also put down the cup in his hand and thought seriously about how to solve this problem.

“Why not just leave it to me?”

At this moment, Shui Wu suddenly said, “I will find a way to deal with these pirates, but we need to evacuate the villagers living by the sea in advance. After all… I’m afraid of scaring them.”

“Hmm?” Bai Lian narrowed his eyes. As the leader who lured Shui Wu into the village, he knew Shui Wu’s true character. Beneath his seemingly elegant appearance, there beats a heart that is more bloodthirsty and brutal than anyone else!

As if she could see Bai Lian’s worry, Shui Wu waved her hand and said, “Well, don’t worry, I still remember our agreement and I won’t go too far.”

Under the slightly puzzled gazes of others, Bai Lian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll leave it to you, but be careful.”

Shui Wu smiled slightly, “I understand.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to sleep.” Gui Deng Huan Yue yawned, “The previous battle really exhausted me.”

Bai Lian nodded, “Then everyone should go to bed early. We can return to the Water Kingdom by almost evening.”

So, the people downstairs left one after another, and Shui Wu returned to her room on the second floor. She leaned against the windowsill, looking at the rolling waves outside the window with a slightly solemn expression.

Influenced by his own bloodline limit, Shui Wu often develops a bloodthirsty desire, especially the blood of the strong and those with unique bloodline limits can arouse his desire even more.

But at present, there is Bai Lian suppressing him above his head. It is more like supervision than suppression. Bai Lian is also very troubled by this. He is reluctant to give up such a powerful fighting force, and he is also afraid of Shui Wu’s bloodline limit.

In fact, this is true. After Byakuren and Hozuki Gengetsu died one after another, no one could control Mizuki, who became the Third Mizukage. As a result, an era that frightened all the Kirigakure ninjas came upon the land of Water Country.

The blood mist village that lasted for many years caused countless ninjas with bloodline limits to be wanted and slaughtered. The entire Hidden Mist Village was on the verge of destruction until the emergence of the perfect Jinchūriki Yagura, which ended this horrific era.

But unexpectedly, after only a few years of peace, Obito once again dragged him into a new bloody era.

Of course, these are all things that happened later. Shui Wu is still relatively restrained now, but sometimes he also needs to vent. This is why Bai Lian let Shui Wu be responsible for this cleanup.

“It’s really frustrating.”

Shui Wu murmured softly, but suddenly, a chill arose in her heart, and she realized that something seemed to be wrong.

As a top-ranked master in the ninja world, sensing the sign of impending danger, he immediately flew back without hesitation, moving away from the window!

The next moment, the entire window shattered into pieces in an instant, and a black cold light shattered the window like a ghost and smashed onto the place where he had just stood!

If he hadn’t retreated in advance, he would have been pierced through on the spot!

“This is it!” Shui Wu opened his narrowed eyes, “That guy’s knife!”

Swoosh——

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared, picked up a long knife on the ground, raised his hand and slashed at Shui Wu’s chest!

“Hey, we meet again!”

(PS: Happy New Year everyone!)
