At the edge of the barrier, the aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and a black shadow slowly emerged from the bottom of the water. It seemed to be a large marine creature such as a whale. Strangely, it did not show any uneasiness towards the natural enemies of lightning and fire, and then opened its mouth, and three ninjas came out from it. The red-haired woman in the lead was Tayuya, the best illusionist among the Four Sound Ninjas. The two people following behind her were Kabuto Yakushi's partners during the Chunin Exams - Ken Misumi and Akado Kabuto.
"It stinks. Next time someone lets me hide in the stomach of a guy like this, I'll kill him."
The slightly autistic Akado Armor ignored Tayuya's complaints, and Kenmisumi replied nonchalantly: "Then you should ask this guy Kabuto. He made excuses for not coming even though it was arranged."
"You guys are just idiots. You didn't understand the enemy's strength and missed the opportunity. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!"
Tayuya's harsh words immediately made the other two quite dissatisfied.
"What? You're not convinced? If you fail again this time, Lord Orochimaru will not let you off!"
"We? That's really funny. If you guys were useful, Sasuke would have been in our hands long ago. Why would we have to go through so much trouble? Even that fat guy Jirobo is dead, and you still got nothing. At least we completed the mission assigned by Lord Orochimaru during the Chunin Exam!"
"Are you going to resist?" Tayuya, whose scars were exposed, angrily pulled out his flute, "Can you bear the consequences of disobeying orders?"
"How could it be?" Jian Meicheng retreated wisely, "According to the order, you, the Four Sound Ninjas... no, now the Three Sound Ninjas are the leaders of this operation, and we are just friendly forces temporarily transferred here to help."
Duoyou was very embarrassed by this kind of veiled words, but she could not get angry at all.
"Just follow orders. I hope you two are strong enough and don't hold us back."
"Holding us back? We are much better than that flatterer, Kazuo!" Jian Meicheng watched the shaking barrier gradually regain stability, "Did your method succeed?"
"Of course, Kidomaru and Sakon have already gone in." Tayuya replied proudly, "We are not as ignorant as you. We can still take advantage of the flawed barrier."
"That's good. I hope we can end this quickly. There are two jonin not far away. If they react, we won't be able to escape."
"You don't need to say anything."
Knowing that time was running out, Tayouya bit her finger and quickly formed a seal. Soon, the gigantic summoning beast "Three Ghosts" appeared, and under the guidance of Tayouya's flute, it madly attacked the barrier!
…
The sudden change caused the Genin on the deck to be in a panic, but fortunately no one was hurt. Although the most important barrier had some problems, it did not collapse in the end. With the efforts of Sakura and Hinata, it finally returned to normal.
"It's really thrilling..."
Although the weather conditions have improved a lot, no one wants to go out and try to see if bad luck will befall them at this time.
"Do we want to take the initiative and attack?" Inuzuka Kiba asked with some concern.
The six Genin at the scene glanced at each other, all of them clueless and obviously unable to reach a unanimous opinion.
"Let's just wait for Mizuki-sensei or Kakashi-sensei to come back."
If there is no leader for the Genin, it would be too dangerous for them to fight alone. In fact, there are senior ninjas on the ship, but even if they are allies, they are not ninjas from the same village. The captain of the Kirigakure Anbu who has not even revealed his true identity wants to command the Konoha Genin, but he is still unable to do so.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, Hyuga Hinata suddenly shouted a warning: "Be careful, someone is coming."
Three large summoned beasts soon came into view, and clubs, bone claws, and impacts continuously fell on the curtain wall of the barrier, causing ripples.
Haruno Sakura, who was dizzy from the reaction of the attack, shouted, "Stop them, I can't hold on any longer."
This method of breaking the formation with force is the least technically demanding, but unfortunately, as a beginner, Haruno Sakura is simply unable to cope with this kind of change.
"Leave it to me!" Uzumaki Naruto would not miss the opportunity to show off in front of Sakura. Before anyone could react, he jumped out of the ship's side and quickly ran towards Tayuya.
"Too reckless." The experienced "Sword" quickly ordered: "Kanlong, Chojuro, go help that kid. Konoha values him very much, don't let him die."
"Understood." The two Mist Ninjas did not delay and hurriedly chased in the direction of Uzumaki Naruto.
When there is no leader and poor command, a sudden attack is the most likely time for chaos to occur.
Hinata Hyuga, who was using her Byakugan to scout around, suddenly shouted, "There are still people hiding nearby, very close. Be careful, they are underwater..."
At this moment, an arrow with a light yellow metallic luster rushed out of the water and shot straight towards Haruno Sakura's face.
The huge arrows, with a shrill scream, cut through the rain curtain and attacked from an imperceptible blind spot, trying to deal a fatal blow to the supporters of the barrier.
"Water Style - Water Whip!" A bright white whip formed by water flow swung over and hit the huge arrow's tail. Although it did not block the attack, it deflected its direction.
Under the stunned gaze of the Konoha Genin, the arrow flashed by, brushed Sakura's neck, lifted a strand of her cherry-colored hair, then effortlessly shot through the bulkhead behind her, sank into the cabin, and finally a loud explosion was heard.
"Saved?" Sakura, sweating profusely, froze and turned to look at the mess behind her. "My head almost turned into pieces like this?"
It was not until the dust settled that the Konoha Genin, who had just woken up from a dream, hurriedly gathered together to guard against the enemies hiding in the dark.
It was the captain of the Anbu who knew better what to do at this time.
"Lightning escape - ground escape."
A flash of lightning fell, and as the waves on the sea rolled forward, a large area of water was covered by lightning.
In this situation, the enemies hiding underwater could no longer hide. Two figures broke through the water surface flashing with lightning, soared into the air, and then landed lightly on the deck not far away.
"I didn't expect that the Jonin of Konoha is not here, and there are the nosy Kirigakure Anbu here." Sakon, the strongest one, said with a sly smile, "Our target is Uchiha Sasuke, who has nothing to do with Kirigakure. As long as you hand him over, we will leave immediately."
"How arrogant you are! Two against six, and you dare to ask me to back down? Let me see who you really are!"
