If a sudden change occurs, they will inevitably fall into a helpless situation where they can only cry out to heaven and earth without anyone answering.

"Hey, hey, Ara, do you think... do you think there really are 'sea monsters'? You mean those terrifying creatures with scarlet eyes, sharp white teeth, scales and fins all over their bodies, and that make weird noises!"

As her imagination ran deeper, Chino's small body shivered involuntarily, completely losing the imposing manner she had displayed yesterday, waving her little fists and declaring she would crush everything.

You mean, that?

Huang casually pointed to the 'sea demon' that had quietly emerged. Apart from its gleaming white teeth, which didn't match the demonic chanting of some kind of monster, it did bear some resemblance.

These words startled the little guy for a moment, but he quickly laughed again:

"What? Ara? So you can make people laugh? I thought you were... you were..."

As she spoke, her voice subtly shifted, and her subsequent words became hesitant and uncertain.

Because it's not just barren.

The other two companions on the boat also looked solemnly at the spot the other was pointing to!

"No, no way..."

Chino mumbled in a trembling voice, her expression becoming unnatural.

"Fengxin! Tuo!"

"I'm warning you, if you dare to cooperate with Huang to deceive me, then I... then I'll never speak to you again!"

She clenched her little fists and angrily swore an oath!

At the same time, it trembled and turned its body to the side. Its fearful and uneasy movements were like a video that had been stuck, moving forward frame by frame, little by little.

However, just as her gaze was about to fall upon the so-called 'sea demon' and confront the fear she had imagined, Huang suddenly roared, "Hold on tight to the ship!"

Then, to the astonishment of his companions, he suddenly jumped into the sea.

Almost at the same moment it sank into the sea, a huge whirlpool appeared next to the wooden boat without any warning.

On this boundless sea, the small wooden ferry was instantly dragged along by the suction force, and no matter how much Makihara Taku pulled the oars, he could not change its position in the slightest.

However, this force also caused Chino to fall onto the deck, preventing her from seeing the 'sea monster' clearly.

'Heh heh, panicking and running away?'

Watching the boy suddenly fall into the sea, a dark figure swiftly emerged from the shadowy bottom of the ship and, in an instant, used both arms to restrain the little fellow who had fallen into the sea.

And that wasn't all. Suddenly, a light blue chakra surged from Yu Zhi's body, as if he had activated some kind of secret technique.

'Let your power be my bait!'

In the dim light, a burly man wearing a breathing mask revealed his face. He wore round black glasses, and a clear smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. His black hair swayed upwards like seaweed.

However, the gradual loss of power and being stranded in unfamiliar waters did not frighten Huang in the slightest.

because.......

Now, he is truly unafraid of any situation.

'Pfft. '

Suddenly, a very faint sound arose, so faint in the seawater that it was almost imperceptible.

But in that instant, the piercing sound intensified, and the surrounding seawater gradually turned crimson.

Suddenly, something made of white bone armor appeared on Yu Huang's body. The ninja who had captured it and was constantly draining its chakra was pierced by the suddenly protruding bone armor. As blood flowed freely, it gradually loosened its arms that were holding its prey.

[Ghost Taming·Whale Bone is here to welcome you! 】

At the same time, the whirlpool that had swept up the wooden boat on the sea surface also collapsed and disappeared.

Needless to say, this was also the work of this guy.

Thump.

Huang carried the attacker, who was still half-dead, out of the sea.

Chino's call rang in his ears, and Makihara Taku, who had steadied the boat behind him, began rowing towards his boss's position.

'Boom. '

The attacker was carelessly tossed onto the deck by Ara, while the girl who had transformed into a 'sea demon' had already fled to the Ghost Island shrouded in mist, and Leopard Eyes had already located her.

"Hey, so the 'sea monster' really is the work of humans. I knew it! How could there be a real monster!"

"You were lying to me just now!"

Chino put her hands on her hips, regaining her pride, and the previous paleness was gone from her lovely face.

However, Huang ignored the girl's self-comfort and instead used his hands to pry open her tightly closed eyelids.

【Ghostly Entanglement - Cursed Eyes!】

The serrated 'windmill' slowly turned, and he felt as if he had fallen into a world with a dim, yellowish background, silently watching everything as an observer.

In the dark and damp space, there were many tall, cylindrical glass nutrient tanks, and inside each tank was a figure that looked neither human nor non-human, curled up. The light green solution that filled the tanks was the nutrient solution that sustained them.

Outside the enormous culture tank, a man in a white lab coat with tea-green hair was holding a lab notebook and making notes.

“There are wandering ninjas coming, I will scare them away.”

Suddenly, a soft voice rang out in the silent space.

Following the sound, they saw that the speaker was the girl whom the children of the Sea Kingdom called a monster.

At this moment, her clothes and hair were still dripping wet, and her chest was rising and falling slightly, as if she had just rushed over.

"Okay, go ahead, Fishfire. I've almost finished collecting your data. It won't be long before I can fulfill my promise and restore you to your original state."

The man stopped taking notes and his gaze fell on the bandaged girl.

However, the faint smile lingering at the corner of his mouth was somewhat intriguing.

Upon receiving such a response, the simple fishing fire had no doubts, and a bright light suddenly appeared in its dim eyes, a color completely different from when it returned home yesterday!

"Yes, then I'll head over now."

She bowed slightly and left.

Just as the girl left, the man lying half-dead on the deck emerged from the shadows.

"Using such promises as bait again, you're really wicked, God knows."

Jokes came out of his mouth.

"Hmph, just a little brat."

"If I don't do this, how can she be at ease serving me?"

The man called Tianzhi responded casually, his smile growing even wider, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.

"However, that girl seems a little different today than usual."

"Furthermore, since Lord Orochimaru left, I haven't been able to find any decent ninja test subjects."

He twirled the pen in his hand, speaking in a businessman-like, somewhat cryptic manner.

"I understand. I'll go get them for you and keep an eye on that little guy while I'm at it."

"You don't need to beat around the bush when you talk to me. After all, I still need you to improve my skills."

"That's what the attacker, wearing comical sunglasses, said."

"You're more interesting, Kai. Should we ask Kenmi to come and help?"

Tianzhi didn't deny anything, and that somewhat eerie smile still lingered on his face.

In response, the man in the bronze armor waved his hand and walked towards the laboratory exit.

"Cheng is still feeding those little cuties for you, you don't need to anymore, besides, they're just wandering ninjas,"

The kaleidoscope slowly faded away, and Ara murmured a few names softly: 'Fishing Light, Ame no Naka de, Kenmei Sumi.'

If nothing unexpected happens, there will only be these three people left on the island.

Regarding the other identity of Kaneki Misumi and Kai, Ara also remembered that they were Kabuto Yakushi's other two teammates in the Chunin Exams.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru also left these two people with the medical ninja named Tenchi.

No.

That guy can no longer be called a medical ninja; describing him as a mad scientist would be a more fitting description.

Furthermore, since you are skilled in Water Release and absorbing others' chakra, then the ability that Misumi Kenshin possesses is a 'rubber' body that allows her to bend and stretch her body at will.

Just as he was pondering this, the wooden boat reached the shore.

"Chino, come with me. Kaze, Taku, keep an eye on the prisoners and be on guard."

Huang snapped out of his thoughts and gave the order.

The reason for bringing this girl along wasn't because she was relatively strong, but because I was worried that she would cause trouble if she stayed behind. After all, girls seem to have an innate fear of unfamiliar darkness and things like 'sea monsters', as evidenced by their behavior on the ship earlier.

Without Chino's constraints, even if those guys escape through other secret passages, Kaze and the others can act freely.

"Hmm, Ara, you really are a good person!"

Upon hearing the order, the girl instantly jumped onto Ghost Island.

Even though the jagged rocks seem eerie, and even though the cold wind blowing past my ears is unsettling, I feel at peace with my feet firmly planted on the ground!

Besides, even if there really were 'sea monsters,' would she be afraid while standing on land?

"It's Lord Ara, please be careful."

Feng Xin and Makihara Taku, who remained on the ship, responded in deep voices.

Because they had all seen what the monster looked like, and although they knew that it was most likely being driven by humans, they still felt somewhat uneasy facing such an unknown creature.

Upon arriving at Ghost Island, Ara did not immediately follow the Leopard Eyes' lock-on action, but instead pretended to bite his finger.

Although Chino is already his companion, they have established some basic bonds.

However, beings like yokai still possess some concepts that transcend ordinary people, and presenting them through spirit communication might be easier to explain and accept.

Suddenly, a pentagram flashed, and the sorcerer came into view.

really........

"Hey hey hey hey!!"
