I rely on myself

Chapter 111 went smoothly
A small boat was moving slowly on the sea. Because Lin Yuan and others had made arrangements in advance, there was no reflection on the surface of the boat. In addition, the natural moonlight was obscured by clouds, so the boat was completely hidden in darkness.

Without getting close enough, even a ninja would find it difficult to detect the existence of a ship here.

As they got closer to the Water Kingdom, Lin Yuan and the others became quieter. If they had just left the Wave Kingdom dock, the team might have been in a mood to relax by chatting, but now as they got closer to the Water Kingdom, they became more and more alert.

After all, according to the intelligence collected, the sea area where they are now located may encounter patrols from the Hidden Mist Village at any time.

So now they have no choice but to be vigilant. Looking at the dark sea around them, the captain Sarutobi Yuichi said in a low voice.

"It seems that we are quite lucky. We have gone so deep into the mountain without encountering any patrolling Kirigakure ninjas."

In such a quiet environment, although Sarutobi Yuichi spoke very quietly, it was still very obvious to others, so someone reminded them.

"Captain, although we agree with what you said, you should stop talking. In such a quiet environment, even if you speak softly, it will be very obvious."

The person who said this was Takeo Oi. He looked at his captain with a nervous look on his face. It was obvious that he was still startled by Yuichi Sarutobi's sudden words. Although the others did not say anything, their expressions showed that they agreed very much.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Yuichi scratched his face a little embarrassedly and said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I haven't encountered any patrols from Kirigakure even though we've gone this deep, so I couldn't help but sigh. I'm really sorry for scaring you guys."

No one wanted to pursue the matter too much, they just wanted to treat it as a joke to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, after the joke, everyone focused their attention on the surrounding sea areas again. After all, as Sarutobi Yuichi said, they have now penetrated deep into the sea area, and it was luck that there was no patrol from Kirigakure before.

But it doesn’t mean they will be so lucky and won’t encounter it next time.

Soon, an hour passed, and Lin Yuan and others had gone deep into the sea not far from the land of the Water Kingdom. Perhaps because of this, their good luck was completely exhausted. They looked at three ships in the distance that were moving forward while shining searchlights everywhere.

Lin Yuan and the others understood that this was a patrol from the Hidden Mist Village. Seeing them appear, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, unlike before, they didn't know when and in which direction the other party would suddenly appear, so everyone had to be very vigilant.

But now, after seeing the appearance of the Kirigakure patrol with their own eyes, they no longer had to be so vigilant, so everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the three ships approaching, Hatta Keiichi asked.

"What should we do? We have encountered a patrol from the enemy. How should we divert them? Should we strike first?"

Listening to his subordinates' suggestions, Sarutobi Yuichi began to think about what he should do next to attract Kirigakure's attention as much as possible.

Suddenly he remembered that the person who proposed the plan was right here, so he only needed to ask him, why did he have to think about it himself, so he immediately turned around and whispered to Lin Yuan who was keeping quiet. "Lin Yuan, this plan was proposed by you, so what do you think we should do now to attract the attention of Kirigakure to the maximum extent?"

Hearing Sarutobi Yuichi's question, although Lin Yuan felt it was a bit sudden, he still expressed his opinion.

"Although direct action can indeed attract the enemy's attention, such a reckless approach will make the enemy suspicious, so it is best to let the enemy discover us. In this way, they will think that we are the team that meets the intelligence personnel. In this way, the Anbu will be able to pass the defense line smoothly. As for how to let the enemy discover us..."

At this point, Lin Yuan looked out the window, only to see that it was very dark around him, with only a little moonlight shining in the sky. He turned his head and looked at the clouds in the sky for a while, roughly guessing the direction and speed of their movement.

Lin Yuan immediately came up with an idea. He pointed to a place and said, "Let's move the boat to that place first. After a while, as the clouds in the sky move, the moonlight will shine on that place. Even at this distance, the Kirigakure ninjas should be able to roughly see the outline of the boat. When they shine a spotlight on us, they will be able to find us. This way, we can naturally attract their attention without arousing their suspicion."

After listening to Lin Yuan’s plan, everyone felt that there was no problem, so they proceeded according to the plan.

Everyone immediately changed the direction of the boat they were riding and soon arrived at the location Lin Yuan mentioned. After a while, the moonlight in the sky shone through the gaps in the clouds and onto the boat, just as Lin Yuan had expected. Suddenly, the boat that was originally hidden in the darkness revealed a little bit of its outline.

Although it was just a small flaw, it was enough for the Kirigakure ninjas who had lived on the sea for a long time. Soon, a Kirigakure ninja discovered the flaw that Lin Yuan and others had deliberately revealed, and turned the spotlight to their ship, immediately exposing it.

Seeing the three Mist-Hidden ships approaching them at full speed after discovering them, Lin Yuan and others immediately realized that the plan was successful, and immediately turned the bows of the ships, trying to lead the other side away to a farther distance.

Watching the three Kirigakure ships in the distance being lured away by a ship, and on a fishing boat that was keeping a distance behind Lin Yuan and the others, the four Anbu understood that Lin Yuan and the others had successfully lured away the Kirigakure patrol, so the next thing to do would be very simple.

"Hurry, while they are distracting the enemy, we must land on the land of the Water Kingdom as quickly as possible."

The ANBU captain gave orders to his subordinates.

His men sped up the boat and said, "Don't worry, Captain. We know what to do."

"it is good."

After the Anbu captain responded, he turned his head to look at the ship that had become a smaller dot in the distance, and thought to himself.

"Although it may be redundant, let me still pray for you. I hope that all of you can survive safely."

After praying, the Anbu captain put away his extra thoughts and turned to look at the land gradually appearing on the distant horizon. That was their destination, the Land of Water. At the same time, he began to think about how he should contact the hidden intelligence personnel next.
