Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 169: It Was All My Instigation

If only we could arrive at the Land of Water peacefully like this.

However, things don't always go as planned.

"Elder, someone is standing on the water."

The Blood Pool clan members who were observing the sea shouted loudly.

These words caused the tribespeople on the bed to all look ahead.

When the Blood Pond Clan entered this sea area, Isobu immediately sensed it and notified Shikatoki, which is why Shikatoki is standing here waiting.

"Nara deer?!"

The elder's voice trembled slightly.

The Blood Pond Clan, who were originally restless, became very quiet after encountering the Nara Deer.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Miya Ryushin swallowed hard, his eyes filled with panic.

As the strongest among them, Miyajo En also walked over, looking at Shikatoki with a solemn expression.

"Fellow tribesmen! Prepare for battle!"

'

The elder was well aware that this battle was inevitable, and could even be described as a battle of life and death.

Lu Shi didn't seem to care about the Blood Pool Clan who were on high alert. He instantly appeared at the bow of the ship and greeted them with a smile, "Hello! May I ask if you could release the Daimyo of the Land of Wind? After all, he is my employer."

"Nara Shikatoki! We will not harm the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. Let us leave. Once we are safe, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind will also return safely!" the elder said in a heavy tone.

"You may leave, but the Daimyo of the Land of Wind must remain."

"Hmph! Do you think we're fools? The only reason you're not making a move is because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind is in our hands. If we lose this bargaining chip, we won't even know we're dead!" The elder sneered, clearly not trusting Shiro.

To be honest, Shiro was also completely confused at this moment, and said helplessly, "No! I only attacked you because you captured the Daimyo of the Land of Wind! Why would I attack you if you didn't capture the Daimyo?"

"Nara Shika, you don't need to play dumb anymore. We know exactly what your purpose is!"

"What purpose do I have? I'm here to find the Daimyo of the Land of Wind! Can't you understand human language?!"

Lu Shi felt that he had difficulty communicating with the Blood Pool Clan.

"Still pretending! I'll just say one thing: will you give way or not? If not, we can't guarantee the safety of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind." The elder's tone was full of threat.

Lu Shi took a deep breath. "I wasn't pretending. Release Da Ming, and I—"

"Further words are useless! It seems you don't care about the life of the Daimyo of the Wind Country!" The elder waved his hand, and several members of the Blood Pool Clan escorted the Daimyo of the Wind Country out.

When Akira Ikegawa saw Shikatoki, he felt as if he had seen a savior and shouted excitedly, "Shikatoki-kun, save me! Those useless bastards from Sunagakure saw me being kidnapped and didn't care at all, and even told your shadow clone that everything was fine!"

Seeing that the Blood Pool Clan was serious, Shikatoki couldn't care less about anything else; he had to ensure the daimyo's safety first.

"Isobu!"

At Shika's command, the Isobu below the ship suddenly lifted the entire ship into the air.

The person on the bed suddenly experienced the feeling of weightlessness.

The ninja holding the daimyo loosened his grip due to weightlessness, and a shadow warrior quickly darted to the daimyo's side and caught him.

Lu Shi didn't go too far.

Isobu manipulated the water flow to smother the boat, preventing it from capsizing.

"Not good!" The elder's expression changed. "Cheng Yan, while you hold off Lu, the others should snatch the Daimyo back!"

Upon hearing this, Yuya Shiro gritted his teeth and charged towards the deer, while the Blood Dragon Eye quickly swept across the deer.

Seeing this, Lu Shi was truly speechless. What exactly did the Blood Pool Clan want to do? He could have just rescued the Daimyo and left, why did they have to do all this?

There's something strange about this whole thing.

Lu Shi didn't want to use her brain anymore.

He just wanted to find out the truth in the simplest and most direct way.

Let's just defeat the entire Blood Pool Clan and then find out the details.

The moment Miyajo En made contact with Shikatoki, the genjutsu belonging to the Blood Dragon Eye tried to control Shikatoki, but Shikatoki could only say, "Sorry, I don't have any chakra, I'm not susceptible to genjutsu!"

However, Lu Shi still pretended to be stunned for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Miyajo En's face lit up with joy, and he quickly approached Shikatoki. Just as he got close, Shikatoki grabbed Miyajo En's arm and activated the sealing technique.

Just like the Sharingan.

Blood Dragon Eye was forcibly sealed by Deer.

Miyajo En's expression froze, and Shikatoshi had already kicked Miyajo En away.

He slammed heavily onto the deck, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Shi also took the opportunity to board the boat.

The rest of the Blood Pond clan wanted to capture the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, but the Daimyo was surrounded by Shikatoki's shadow warriors, and they couldn't break through.

Now even the strongest, Miyajo En, has been defeated.

The elder's eyes were filled with determination. He raised his arm and shouted, "Clan members! Fight to the death! Even if we die, we'll tear a piece of flesh from the Nara deer!"

"That's right, we just want to live, what's the problem?"

"Even if it means death, I'll take him with me!"

Seeing the Blood Pool Clan's morale suddenly soar, Lu Shi was somewhat speechless. "What you're saying makes me sound like a villain. Let's give you all a moment to calm down."

The natural energy within the deer exploded instantly.

The black chains formed by the sealing technique behind him followed him like a shadow.

The powerful suppression of natural energy rendered the Blood Pool Clan, whose morale was originally high, completely immobile.

The sealing chains were broken one by one, and in just one minute, the chakra of all the members of the Blood Pond Clan was sealed.

Thus, the strange battle came to an end.

Shikatoki walked up to the daimyo. "Lord Ikegawa, are you alright?"

"It's alright, I knew Shikatoshi would come to save me." Ikegawa Akira looked at Shikatoshi gratefully, then said with a gloomy expression, "Did those useless people in Sunagakure collude with the Blood Pond Clan? They just watched me get captured and even gave your shadow clones false intelligence."

"Um—it shouldn't be. They're just under a genjutsu." Shikatoki felt it necessary to explain this to Sunagakure.

"Illusion magic? Everyone? They're utterly useless. I'm definitely cutting military spending when I get back!"

It's clear that Akira Ikegawa doesn't care whether the Sunagakure ninjas were under a genjutsu; he only cares that they failed to protect themselves.

"Actually, I also bear some responsibility."

"No, Shikatoshi-kun, your shadow clone went out to investigate. When it came back to question you, it was those Sand Ninja who lied to you. You have no responsibility!" Ikegawa Akira said firmly.

What else can be said about Lu Shi?

He had done his best, and there was nothing he could do if Akira Ikegawa insisted on blaming Sunagakure.

"Shikatoshi-kun, what exactly is the Blood Pond Clan up to?" Ikegawa Akira turned the conversation to the Blood Pond Clan. "I kindly tried to win them over, and they kidnapped me! They've really gone too far!"

"Lord Ikegawa, I feel there is a misunderstanding in this matter. The Blood Pond Clan has been brought under control. Let me inquire first."

"6

The whole thing is eerie.

Akira Ikegawa nodded in agreement. "Go ahead and ask. I'll rest for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi approached the elder. "I saw you issuing orders just now. You must be the current leader of the Blood Pool clan, right? Can you tell me what's going on?"

"Hmph! Kill me or torture me as you please, but if you want to humiliate my Blood Pool clan, dream on! I won't tell you the secret of the Blood Dragon Eye!"

"No, when did I ever humiliate you!"

Lu Shi was truly helpless!

The old man in front of her seemed completely unresponsive, remaining silent no matter what she asked. Seeing this, Lu Shi had no choice but to change her target.

His gaze locked onto Miyajo En.

As Lu Shi walked over, a woman blocked Yuya Chengyan's path. "If you want to kill someone, kill me first!"

"Ali!"

Miyajo En struggled to his feet and pulled Ali behind him, saying, "Don't hurt Ali."

Seeing the genuine emotion between the two, Lu Shi asked somewhat helplessly, "I didn't mean to hurt you, I just want to ask you, why exactly does the Blood Pool Clan do these things?"

"Heh, don't you know best why we're doing these things?"

Deer Time: "————"

He's a riddle person again.

No way! I need to find someone who's not quite right in the head.

After scanning the room, Lu Shi slowly spoke: "Who is Miya Ryushin?"

No one answered, but Shika had already located Miya Ryushin through his micro-expressions. Shika walked up to him, "You're Miya Ryushin? Uchiha Ri's pen pal?"

Miya Ryūshin nodded with a forced smile, then said excitedly, "Don't blame Ri, it was I who bewitched him!"

"what?"

Lu scratched his head and said, "This is the one. This guy doesn't look very smart."

The natural energy emanating from him pressed down on Miya Ryushin.

Miya Ryushin swallowed hard, but gritted his teeth and persevered.

"You mean you were the one who got Uchiha Rei to read those erotic novels?"

"That's right, it was information that I tricked Uchiha Ryou into giving me. Huh? Wait, what?"
