After Pakura took the boat out to sea, she sat on the bow and looked at the boundless blue sea and the clear blue sky. She was fascinated by the sight of the wind and sand of the Sand Hidden Village.
However, even though she was fascinated by it, she still kept her vigilance.
As the waves hit the side of the ship, Pakura frowned and slowly looked down at the sea.
At this time, the surface of the sea was calm, but there was an undercurrent in the depths of the sea!
Pakura stood up and was on full alert.
In the next moment, the ship under her feet suddenly shook!
"Not good, the bottom deck is flooded!!"
"Everyone, come and help!"
The voices of the sailors came from the cabin.
With the bottom of the ship leaking, the speed of the ship was greatly affected. Pakura knew that staying on the ship would only make her a live target for the enemy, so she immediately abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea, running quickly towards the Tea Country.
After she ran for dozens of miles, the calm sea finally showed its ferocity. A huge wave rose from the depths of the sea and hit Pakura like a mountain!
Pakura's face didn't change, she calmly activated her Kekkei Genkai: "Scorch Release: Steam Kill!"
A small orange fireball floated from her side, then merged and expanded, turning into a huge fireball in the blink of an eye, blocking Pakura's figure behind it.
Boom!
Huge waves whizzed over with a force of ten thousand catties. However, the Scorching Fireball was like a scorching sun floating in the sky. Under the scorching high temperature, any seawater that approached it evaporated before it could even exert any force, turning into water vapor amidst an ear-piercing sizzling sound.
Whoosh …
The huge wave swept over and hit the sea heavily, rolling up thousands of waves.
Pakura stood on the undulating sea and looked around vigilantly. The huge orange fireball had scattered into four small fireballs floating around her.
"Worthy of being the hero of the Sand Hidden Village."
Yuki Hanbing, wearing a black robe and a straw hat, came out from the bottom of the sea. The ice crystal mask on his face reflected a magnificent color under the sun, like a dream.
"It really is you!"
Pakura's face sank, "What do you want?"
"I'm here to hear your answer."
"Have you decided to join the Abyss?" Moonless Water asked in a very pretentious manner.
"I refuse!" Pakura didn't even think about it and refused.
"Refuse? Do you still want to go back to the Sand? "
Hanbing sneered, "I just went to the Sand Village to kill a few people, and your Kazekage sent you out, what did he send you to do?"
Pakura's heart sank.
"Let me guess … Are you going to the Mist to form an alliance?"
Hanbing sneered. "Don't joke around, the Mist Village has become a bloody village under the cruel rule of the Fourth Mizukage. When you arrive at the Mist Village, you will be killed as a spy. You … have been betrayed by the village you love!"
"No, impossible!!"
Pakura gritted her teeth, and blue veins appeared on her forehead. "I don't believe you! You're lying to me!"
"You don't believe me? I don't believe you're so exasperated. "
Wuyue Shui and Han Bing sneered, "Stupid woman, don't deceive yourself!"
Pakura was instantly furious. Although she never admitted it, the biggest reason why she failed to become the Kazekage was because she was a woman!
Now, this bastard was using this to insult her!
Damn it!
Pakura tapped the ground with the tip of her toes and immediately charged towards Moonless Ice with the orange fireball!
You're breaking the rules!
Hanbing cursed in his heart, and then he clasped his hands together, and countless ice crystals floated around him, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into a huge ice storm!
The ice storm was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually spread outward. Everywhere it passed, the air condensed, and the sea froze. Visible to the naked eye, it was as if the ice age was coming.
Pakura's face changed slightly, "How is this possible?!"
When she fought with Hanbing for the first time on the battlefield, this guy's ice release wasn't as terrifying as this!
What's going on?
Pakura's footsteps paused, and she instantly dodged.
"Pakura, if you only have this much strength, you can't enter The Abyss."
Hanbing's voice came from the ice storm with a bit of coldness and ridicule. "Try to please me as much as you want."
Hearing this sentence, Shou … cough, Shou was furious!
At this time, he was hiding in the sea behind Hanbing, gritting his teeth. This sentence was obviously his line, this shameless freeloader!
"Scorch Release: Steaming Kill!"
On the other side, Pakura retreated a hundred meters away, and then she waved her hand to attack. Four small orange fireballs quickly condensed and then shot toward the center of the ice storm.
The hot fireballs were like rainbows, and they directly hit the ice storm.
Whoosh …
In the harsh sound of ice and fire, dozens of white cold streams madly entangled the big fireballs, and then countless ice crystals and snowflakes spun and shot out like moths to a flame.
Whoosh …
Ice and fire fiercely collided in the air, and the Chakra boiled. The air gradually distorted, blurred, and finally … exploded!
Boom!!
The Scorch Fireball was blasted into a dazzling orange-red ring of fire by the surging waves of air. It quickly spread out and violently cut the enormous ice storm in half. Countless ice shards scattered in all directions within the ring of fire and drifted down.
After a while, the aftermath of the explosion slowly subsided.
Hanbing stood on the ice, and there were still traces of ice crystals on his black robe, exuding a faint chill under the sun.
Pakura stood a hundred meters away, and the sea below her was still undulating, carrying her up and down.
"What the hell do you want!" Pakura looked directly at Hanbing and questioned him sternly.
"Maybe I forgot to tell you before, but there are only two consequences for knowing The Abyss."
Hanbing paused, and then he chuckled softly, "Either join or die, there is no third choice!"
"Hmph, that's all your wishful thinking!" Pakura was extremely dissatisfied.
"Then there is no other way."
Hanbing wasn't a reasonable person, and the reason why he said so much nonsense was to disturb Pakura's mind. If she could 'turn over a new leaf', it would be even better, and he could directly kill her, saving a lot of effort.
Pakura looked at Hanbing with vigilance, and orange fireballs floated around her again.
Hanbing also made a seal with his hands, and countless ice crystals and snowflakes quickly condensed under the sun, turning into a huge ferocious ice dragon, and roared towards the sky.
"Then, let's sing a song of ice and fire."
Hanbing waved his hand, and the ice dragon above his head moved in an S shape, and then rushed towards Pakura.
…
Land of Fire.
Wood Leaf.
After the selection of the Fourth Hokage Naruto's personal guard ended, everything was on the right track. Naruto was doing his job, the consultant was doing his job, the Anbu was doing their job, and the Naruto Guards were also doing their jobs, helping Po Shui Mun with some chores.
On this day.
A Root ninja came to the village finance office to receive this month's operating funds.
But in the end, he received less than half of the previous amount!
Gen didn't say anything and immediately rushed back to Root to inform Danzō about this.
Danzō was furious!
In this war, Root lost a large number of elites in the Land of Rain, and now is the time to rebuild Root, and you Po Shui Mun dare to choke me at this time?
Danzō Shimura couldn't bear it, and went to Naruto's building valiantly.
"Fourth Hokage, what do you mean by this?!"
Arriving at the office, Danzo directly pushed the door open and questioned with his seniority as an advisor and a senior.
"Danzō -sama, what are you doing?" Huo Genma immediately stopped Danzō Shimura.
"A mere guard dares to stop me? Go away! "Danzō Shimura didn't give Huo Genma any face.
"I …" Huo Genma's face turned pale, and he didn't know what to do.
"Genma."
Po Shui Mun whispered. "It's okay, Danzō Shimura is the village's consultant, not an outsider."
"Humph!"
Danzō Shimura bypassed Huo Genma, and his eyes were filled with anger. "Fourth Hokage, please give me a reasonable explanation!"
"What do you mean?" Po Shui Mun calmly asked.
"Don't play dumb!"
Danzō Shimura was getting more and more dissatisfied with Po Shui Mun. "Why did you cut Root's funding? Or is it because of Sandaimura? "
Po Shui Mun slightly frowned and said. "This is a decision I made after careful consideration, and it has nothing to do with Sandaimura."
"Careful consideration? Are you kidding me, you are clearly trying to limit my power! "Danzō Shimura said angrily.
"Danzō -sama, please don't say that! Not only your Root, but Naruto -sama's Anbu department funding was also cut! "
Huo Genma Shimura Shimura couldn't stand it anymore and loudly explained. "The war is over, Anbu department and Root already …"
"Shut up!"
Danzō stopped Huo Genma with a cold look and said disdainfully, "The war is over? What a joke! The army of the Cloud Hidden Village was still lingering outside the border and could invade at any time. It was simply stupid to reduce the funds of Anbu and Root at this time! Who will bear the consequences if we can't get the news of the Cloud's invasion? "
"If the Cloud invades, I will personally go to the front lines."
Po Shui Mun said in a deep voice, "I will end this war in the name of Yellow Flash!"
"You …" Danzō was speechless.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Po Shui Mun, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God, came and went without a trace. Whether it was a group battle or a duel, it was almost always him killing others. No one could kill him.
In this case, if he personally went to the front line, he might be able to crush the Cloud.
But war is never about one person!
Danzō still wanted to say something, but Po Shui Mun did not give him a chance. "Consultant Danzō, the decision to cut Root's funding has been made, and there will be no changes. Please go back."
The muscles on Danzō's cheeks twitched slightly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry, Lord Naruto. I'm your bodyguard, but I can't help you at all." Huo Genma was ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head to look at Po Shui Mun.
"After all, he is the village's consultant. Please don't mind him," Po Shui Mun said with a smile. There was nothing unusual in his expression as he continued to work.
At the same time, the news of the budget cuts had also reached the dark department.
Anbu Long Ying had already communicated with Po Shui Mun in advance, so he didn't panic. He directly summoned all the team leaders for a meeting and explained the real purpose of the budget cuts.
The third shinobi world war is basically over. As the winner of the war, Wood Leaf will have more and more missions in the coming years. But too many Wood Leaf ninjas were disabled and sacrificed in the war, so Po Shui Mun decided to 'dismiss' half of the Anbu and let them complete the missions entrusted by the village. This will improve the economy and credibility of Wood Leaf, and at the same time, it will convey to the outside world that Wood Leaf is still strong.
Cutting Root's funding is also the reason. Unfortunately, Danzō was only thinking about his own power and couldn't see Po Shui Mun's intention. Of course, even if Danzō knew, he wouldn't agree. After all, Root is his foundation.
