I rely on myself

Chapter 112 Battle
Looking at the Mist Hidden Ship getting closer and closer from behind, Oi Takeo gave a warning.

"Captain, Kirigakure's ships are faster than ours. If this continues, we will be caught up."

Of course Sarutobi Yuichi knew about this, but he didn't have any good solution. After all, in this situation, it was all about the difference in the ships they were taking, and it couldn't be made up at all.

"It doesn't matter. We are now a certain distance away from the sea area. The Anbu should have taken the opportunity to sneak into the Land of Water, so we don't have to keep pretending to escape. Let's just fight back. But remember to leave a few Kirigakure ninjas behind to let them escape, so that Kirigakure will think that we are the only team there."

At this time, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke up, explaining the current situation and what to do next.

After listening to this, the other four looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Just when the captain Yuichi Sarutobi was about to order a counterattack, the Kirigakure side had become impatient with the enemies fleeing in front of them and began to launch an attack.

"Water escape·Water chaos." x3
As a Kirigakure ninja on each of the three ships formed hand seals, the sea surface suddenly changed. A wave six or seven meters high instantly rose on the sea and rushed towards the ship in front at an extremely fast speed.

"Oops, we can't be hit by this wave, otherwise the ship will be destroyed."

Sarutobi Yuichi exclaimed as he looked at the waves behind the ship. Although water-style ninjutsu is the weakest of the five basic properties, it is not something a small boat like this can withstand.

As the only ninja in the team who was good at water-style ninjutsu, Hatta Keiichi reacted immediately and quickly formed seals with both hands.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."

Suddenly, a wall of water rose up in the path of the waves behind, blocking their way. The waves hit the wall of water directly, and the next moment water splashed everywhere. However, after holding on for a while, the wall of water was finally broken by the waves. However, the power of the waves was also weakened a lot, from the original six or seven meters high to three or four meters high.

Seeing this, Oi Takeo on the side also took action immediately and formed seals with his hands.

"Wind Escape·Great Breakthrough."

A strong hurricane blew out of Takeo Oi's mouth, which immediately crushed the waves, and water splashed all over the sky, but no one paid attention to this scene, after all, the enemy was right in front of them.

Seeing that the Kirigakure's water-style ninjutsu was finally broken, Sarutobi Yuichi immediately gave orders to the team.

"We can't go on like this. Hayashi Gen and Oi Takeo, you two will go with me to fight. Hatta Keiichi and Aburame Sosuke, you two will stay on the ship. In addition to supporting us, you must also protect the ship. If there are no other questions, then prepare for action."

Of course, everyone had no objection to this. After all, the other party's arrangement was very appropriate, so no one objected.

When Sarutobi Yuichi saw that no one objected, he did not hesitate and rushed out of the boat first, shouting.

"Okay, Lin Yuan, Oi Takeo, let's go!" Seeing Sarutobi Yuichi rushing out first, Lin Yuan and Oi Takeo were not far behind and followed closely behind. The three of them used the treading water technique and ran directly on the sea, rushing towards the three ships of the Kirigakure.

Of course the Kirigakure side also saw this scene, and one of the jonin from the Kirigakure directly laughed at it.

“Heh, it seems like these little thieves knew they couldn’t escape, so they rushed over and fought hard. But they underestimated us, right? Guys, let them know that the sea is our Kirigakure’s territory, attack!!!”

Hearing what the Kirigakure leader said, a dozen Kirigakure ninjas shouted fanatically, agreeing with him very much, and then rushed out like a swarm of bees, also running towards the enemy on the sea, wanting to kill these so-called petty thieves.

Looking at the dozen or so Kirigakure ninjas rushing out, a ninja who was also a Kirigakure Jonin and was dressed very similarly to the Kirigakure leader came up to him and said with a smile.

"You are really bad, Kawaki. You actually let your subordinates take the lead. After all, since this team dares to sneak in here alone to rescue, they must be no small characters. It seems that these lovely subordinates will suffer heavy casualties."

Although he said these words of blame, the Kirigakure jonin did not show any anger. Instead, he had a happy expression on his face and was enjoying the scene very much.

The Kirigakure ninja called Kawaki responded impatiently, "Stop making so much noise. If you really want to pity these guys, then charge at them together. Stop whining around me. Aren't you the same as me who didn't stop them? Aren't you the same as me who wanted to see the strength of the invaders?"

After saying that, Kawaki no longer paid attention to the other party and turned to look at the battle situation in front of him, not wanting to miss any details.

The Kirigakure ninja known as Halo did not care about what the other party said. After all, the other party was not wrong, right? He also focused on the battle situation in front of him.

Back to Lin Yuan and the others, they were shocked at first when they saw the dozen or so Mist Ninjas jumping out from the three ships. However, they soon discovered that most of these Mist Ninjas only had the strength of Genin, and the others had the strength of Chunin at most. They immediately felt relieved.

However, they also understood that such a patrol team could not be without a Jonin in charge, and the current situation meant that the opponent's Jonin had not appeared yet. The three of them became secretly alert to avoid being ambushed.

Soon, Lin Yuan and the other two met and fought with the dozen or so Kirigakure ninjas.

Looking at the Kirigakure ninja in front of him who was holding a kunai and charging towards him with a fanatical smile on his face, Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed the wrist of the other person's hand holding the kunai, then twisted it to disrupt the other person's charging posture. Then, before the other person could react, he grabbed the other person's neck with his other hand, twisted his wrist instantly, and instantly killed the other person.

But at the same time, another Kirigakure ninja was not affected at all by this. Instead, he took advantage of the time when Lin Yuan was dealing with his companions and attacked Lin Yuan from behind with a kunai in his hand.

The kunai stabbed towards Lin Yuan's heart at high speed. It was obvious that the Kirigakure ninja wanted to kill Lin Yuan with this. However, if he couldn't avoid such an obvious sneak attack, then Lin Yuan would not be able to be a Konoha Jonin.

Lin Yuan let go of the corpse with both hands, turned his feet and his body at the same time, and dodged the attack very easily. At the same time, he shifted his position to attack Wuyin from behind, facing the opponent's open back, Lin Yuan directly broke the opponent's neck with a knife, killing him instantly.
