Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 11 Information on the Land of Whirlpools (A Battle of Wits! Please Read On!)

Splat!

Xiao Yu had just reached out to take back the broken bowl when she turned around and saw the boat in the distance. She was so frightened that she fell on her bottom.

Her chubby little face froze slightly, she held her breath, bit her lip hard with her baby teeth, and her small body trembled involuntarily.

The appearance of that ship seemed to touch upon a shadow in her mind.

"Don't be afraid."

Compared to her young age, Mei Yu appeared much calmer, picking her up and comforting her, "They're just water pirates."

It's less about being calm and more about getting used to it.

Drifting on the waters of various ninja countries, one is bound to encounter some water pirates.

With a little effort, river pirates generally won't harm anyone.

To paraphrase what Lord Yun Chuan once said, even pirates value "sustainable development."

"This time, it might not be that simple."

Yun Chuan shook his head inwardly, but said nothing. He gently pinched Xiao Shiyu's cheek and said with a gentle smile, "I'm still here, don't worry."

After saying that, he looked at Uncle Meiyu, who had an apologetic look on his face, and instructed him, "Please take good care of these children."

"Don't worry, Lord Yun Chuan." Uncle Mei Yu nodded seriously. "I'm old now, only half of me left, but I will lift these children up high."

In an instant, Yun Chuan's figure disappeared from the spot.

Also disappearing from the ship was Jiyun, who was watching the spectacle.

………………

On a ship not far away, the deck was stained red with blood.

Several pools of blood contained several mangled corpses.

The figures wearing raincoats, walking on the deck, squatted down and carefully examined the corpses lying on the ground. Each corpse's face was filled with terror and bewilderment, clearly indicating that they had encountered something terrifying before they died.

This was a passenger boat, but unfortunately, they were targeted by this group of people.

River pirates usually release people after collecting tolls; they wouldn't do such a losing deal.

Unfortunately, this group was not pirates.

Uniform attire, well-trained, and with clearly defined responsibilities.

They were roving rogue ninja.

"What bad luck!"

The leader was wearing a gas mask, but he also had a headband with a slash on it.

He tossed a wad of banknotes in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips: "A bunch of paupers, this is all they have!"

"Boss," someone walked up to him and urged, "We've finished searching, let's go."

The rogue ninja leader frowned and asked, "So soon?"

"I heard that there's a newly emerged organization not far from here that has already taken on quite a few assassination missions."

The man lowered his voice and sighed, "We barely escaped from the mad dogs raised by the Third Hokage. The brothers haven't rested for days. It's best if we don't run into them."

Upon hearing this, the rogue ninja leader narrowed his eyes and cursed inwardly, "This is truly frustrating. Once I sell the village's information to the money exchange, I'm sure Konoha and Uzushiogakure will be interested!"

Although he was still cursing, his hands were rapidly forming hand seals.

Ugly! Snake! Goat!

"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"

A misty fog quickly rose around them, and the blood-red fog seemed to grow even thicker, enveloping the ship in a dreamlike mist.

Seeing this, the rogue ninja leader nodded in satisfaction: "Now you don't have to worry about being discovered, right?"

At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared at the top of the mast.

"Now we don't have to worry about being discovered."

Looking at the surrounding red rain and mist, Yun Chuan nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll take this opportunity to teach you a lesson."

Ji Yun, whose mouth was covered by him, looked bewildered, but quickly realized what was happening and tilted her head to look at Yun Chuan beside her.

Yun Chuan looked at the still somewhat immature girl, and without lowering his head, pointed to the people below: "Watch out for that guy standing at the bow of the ship."

The girl paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down, wanting to look in that direction, but Yun Chuan immediately covered her eyes with his hand.

"Eyes are a wonderful thing, but you need to learn to observe your target using your peripheral vision."

Yun Chuan shook his head and said softly, "Ninjas are very sensitive to the gaze of others, so before you actually make your move, don't look directly into the eyes of the target you're going to assassinate."

"The same principle applies: before taking action, do not easily reveal your killing intent. The sixth sense is a real thing for ninjas."

Jiyun learned quickly and was very obedient, slightly shifting her gaze to look over out of the corner of her eye.

They saw the bow of the ship about a hundred meters below, where a rogue ninja with his sleeves rolled up, revealing tattoos, was looking down at the bottle of shochu in his hand.

He seemed to have found it on the ship, and curiously pulled out the cork from the bottle.

But while doing these things, he would occasionally glance behind him, clearly maintaining a state of vigilance out of habit.

But in the next moment.

Ji Yun suddenly noticed a black shadow appear behind the rogue ninja.

Yun Chuan's smile was faint as he pressed the kunai against the other's heart.

Throughout the entire process, the rogue ninja was completely unaware, even though "death" was right next to his ear.

Yun Chuan looked up at Ji Yun on the mast, and prepared to stab the rogue ninja with the kunai in his hand.

"hiss!"

In an instant, Ji Yun, who was sitting above, could clearly see that the rogue ninja suddenly shivered and abruptly drew his kunai from his waist to block the attack.

But all he could see before him was a bottomless, blood-red mist.

"Do you understand now?"

His voice returned to Ji Yun's ears: "Kill the target before they realize it."

Ji Yun looked at Yun Chuan, who had somehow returned to his seat beside him, then glanced at the rogue ninja below who were still in shock, and finally nodded expressionlessly.

"very good."

Yun Chuan nodded in satisfaction, placed the kunai in her hand, and said softly, "The theoretical instruction is over. Next, it's time for practice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put his arm around Jiyun's shoulder.

In an instant, the two figures disappeared above the mast.

Behind the same rogue ninja, two dark figures, one large and one small, appeared.

Seven Nights Fluid Technique!

Without any leverage, from extreme stillness to an unconventional rapid descent.

When paired with "Aura Concealment," it becomes "Ghost Blade."

There was no sign of movement, and no sound or airflow was generated.

A silent, ghostly assassin.

That fits the villain's style perfectly.

The next moment, Ji Yun, who was being held in Yun Chuan's arms, slightly raised his lowered eyelids and slashed the traitor's throat with a kunai without hesitation.

呲!

A large amount of blood sprayed onto Ji Yun's face, instantly turning his vision blood red.

The rogue ninja from Kirigakure, who had been enjoying his wine with his head tilted back, suddenly found the red liquid mixed with blood flowing down his throat.

The blood mist on the ship seemed to thicken at this moment.

"Too slow." Yun Chuan whispered casually in her ear, "A person's throat is actually like a water pipe. If you don't act quickly enough, blood will gush out of the wound."

However, that's enough.

"Let me handle this."

Yun Chuan turned his head to look at the blood mist, and seemed to see the rogue ninja leader sitting at the stern of the ship. He chuckled and said, "I'm quite curious about what his so-called 'intelligence' is."

Konoha, the Land of Whirlpools, the Hidden Mist Village...

Is this the moment he's been waiting for?
