"Wohai Wharf attacked by Hidden Mist Ninjas!"

One piece of bad news arrived, followed by another, leaving Ryota Uzumaki completely bewildered.

Lu Ji inwardly complained, "Their boat was rented and we had to return it, but now it's gone. Did they send a team to help?"

Uzumaki nodded, then shook his head: "By the time we found out, it was too late to stop it."

The dock's equipment and all the ships were completely destroyed by the enemy.

"The Hidden Mist ninjas are far too cunning. In the darkness, their Hidden Mist Technique prevents us from advancing and pursuing them..."

"Bastards! This is outrageous!" Ryota Uzumaki was furious. "You stole my daughter and destroyed my dock! I'll make you Hidden Mist ninjas pay the price!"

"I agree to Konoha's request."

"But I'm sorry."

"I can't command everyone's will, so..."

"I understand."

Lu Ji nodded, his tone steady:

"The most important thing now is to work together to build a large ship as soon as possible so that members of the Land of Whirlpools who wish to leave can depart."

"The enemy has already begun their operation. This means we must make a last-ditch escape before the main forces of the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning arrive!"

Chapter 62: Using the Power of the Nation to Build Noah's Ark (Seeking First Subscriptions 3/10)

Ryota Uzumaki had no objection to Shikaji's speculation. At this moment, he needed a smart person to help him deal with what was to come, and Shikaji was the best candidate.

"Pass on my order: all ninjas in the village, from chunin down to those below chunin, must cooperate with the shipwrights in the city who are skilled in shipbuilding to go and cut down the forest within the territory first thing tomorrow morning to build a giant escape ship."

"Yes!"

"Standing, I see the heart of the young man, the spirit ...

Go and inform them!

"Yes!"

The vortex stack is like a spring, its vortex rapidly expanding ...

Ryota Uzumaki said expressionlessly, "The head of the Tsuchiya clan can stay here."

"Besides, my father and I are still alive."

"Yes! I understand! Then I'll leave it to Senior Seiichiro!"

With his short black hair, Tsuchiya Seiichiro nodded slightly and said solemnly, "The Tsuchiya clan will do everything in its power."

"Please." Zhao Qiu, the vortex-wielding man, said to Huai, his voice trembling with fear.

After obtaining this information, Shikaku acted swiftly, cooperating with the Land of Whirlpools' plan while also passing the information on to Uchiha Jonin, Uchiha Hagetsuki, who was in charge of guarding the border.

#

At night, the area more than one kilometer outside the city of Whirlpools becomes fraught with danger.

Even the Uzushi ninja of the Land of Whirlpools dared not patrol outside with old-fashioned oil lamps, for fear of being attacked by Kirigakure ninjas or ambushed by traps.

It wasn't until early the next morning that the members of the Land of Whirlpools set off, arriving at an open space to begin building their 'Noah's Ark'.

All around, almost the entire Uzumaki ninja army was mobilized, with more than 500 junior ninja, who began to cut down a large area of ​​forest according to the old shipwright's orders.

None of the ninjas showed any intention of stopping to rest. Each of them held an axe, and some even took out weapons to start cutting down trees in the forest. They were trying to build a super-large sailing ship within two days that could accommodate tens of thousands of people and carry their personal belongings, so that they could go to the Land of Fire for refuge.

In addition to the ninja of the genin level, there are also jonin.

According to Bai Xing's observations, there are a total of seven people.

This is even with two Uzumaki Jonin remaining in the village to maintain the barrier's perception.

Including the current leader of Uzugakure, the former leader, and the head of the Tsuchiya clan, there are at least twelve Jonin-level ninjas. However, apart from the Tsuchiya and Mizuhara clans, the other small clans do not have any Jonin.

Tsuchiya is skilled in Earth Release and Mizuhara is skilled in Water Release, which is quite fitting for their names.

Shirahoshi, who was part of the first squad and didn't have to do any work, glanced at the Uzumaki ninja working not far away, then crossed his arms and leaned against a large tree on the outskirts of the forest.

Rope Tree and Matt Dai were positioned on other nearby tree trunks to keep watch from other angles.

Bai Xing pondered inwardly:

"really."

"The strength of Uzushiogakure is not as weak as I imagined."

"The number of ninja boys and girls who haven't graduated yet is probably quite large."

Yet this powerful ninja clan was wiped out before Konoha could even react.

"This is absolutely absurd."

—It wouldn't even take a day for Konoha's border troops to arrive.

Secondly, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools will inevitably be a blitzkrieg, a battle involving over a thousand ninjas, giving the Konoha leadership no chance to think or hesitate, and leading their army to sweep across the entire country at top speed.

In the original work, Nawaki's death seems to be out of sync with Kushina's arrival in Konoha, or rather, Kushina arrived shortly after Nawaki's death.

Seeing this, and considering the boy's previous tendency to want to go to the battlefield to make contributions and protect the village, Bai Xing had no doubt that this guy really did die on the second or third day after going to the battlefield, just like in the original story.

"Bai Xing, there is no danger at two o'clock. The traps on the guard line have not been triggered yet."

Shortly after Rope Tree finished speaking, another young man dressed in tight green clothes also arrived at Shirahoshi's trunk:

"Both the six o'clock and four o'clock directions are safe!"

Matt Dai gave a thumbs-up, his white teeth gleaming.

Shirahoshi: "......"

He nodded slightly; it felt so good to order others around.

"Be careful not to step into the explosive tag traps set by the Uzumaki ninja." Shirahoshi looked at Nawaki: "Especially you."

"Me? How could that be? It's all explained in the book, okay? As long as I don't step on the ground while I'm traveling, these kinds of traps will be fine!"

Bai Xing sighed inwardly: "What if there are no trees, no high-altitude landing points, or no explosive tag traps disguised as rocks or tree trunks as footholds?"

“…” Nawaki pondered for a moment, then scratched his head: “Then we’ll just have to be careful.”

"Are you a human minesweeper?" Bai Xing retorted speechlessly, "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

"Dai, you continue to keep watch. If anything happens, come towards me. Remember not to trigger any traps."

"Roger that!"

Bai Xing nodded in response, then leaped forward, crossed the tree trunk, and landed on the trunk of another tree. She turned her head and glanced at the rope tree: "Come here."

Then, Rope Tree followed Shirahoshi with a curious expression, as the surrounding trees and environment changed rapidly:

"Where are you taking me?"

"Let me give you a crash course on the relevant knowledge about traps."

"I don't want to collect your corpse later, after all, Lady Tsunade was quite good to my disciple."

—Two medical ninjutsu techniques, and an A-rank medical ninjutsu technique that will help me find a way to start school when I get back.

In return, they gave the gambling-addicted girl's brother special tutoring.

Soon, the two arrived at a grove of trees on the outer edge of the forest, where a half-person-high rock and a fallen, rotten, hollow tree stood on the jungle ground ahead.

"Do you see what kind of trap that is?"

Immediately, Rope Tree began to ponder the detailed defense map of this forest he had obtained the previous night. Stroking his chin, he thought for a long time before randomly giving a name:

"It should be an explosive tag trap."

"It will explode if you step on that rock or tree trunk."

"..."

Bai Xing glanced at the child who was blatantly lying, and was about to retort when she suddenly noticed a strange gaze rising up, seemingly observing her:

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

There's nothing there.

"I'm just telling you that if you're going to set a trap in the future, that kind of place is the least suitable."

"Only flat ground on both sides and tree trunks around are the best places to set traps."

"Do you understand?!"

Shirahoshi's voice was very loud, leaving Nawaki completely confused after listening to it.

"???"

Just as Nawaki was pondering whether this concept of trap-setting existed, a Hidden Mist ninja in front of him decisively chose to land on top of the rocks:

"Hehehe——"

"As expected of a Konoha ninja, they are indeed very knowledgeable."

"But unfortunately, you've encountered someone from Kirigakure..."

stab-

Above the rocks is a wire mesh, barely visible to the naked eye, painted the color of the rock to blend in. Stepping on it will trigger a trap, lifting you directly into the air.

At this moment, Shirahoshi wondered if the Hidden Mist ninjas hadn't studied properly, since they didn't know such basic knowledge and were still blindly praising others.

"Yes, yes, yes, they are the enemy!" Nawaki did not encounter any enemies during the last mission, but this is the first time he has encountered ninjas from an enemy country.

"Don't panic."

"It's a..."

Shirahoshi suddenly pulled Nawaki away, thinking to himself, "As expected, how could the Hidden Mist ninja be so easily fooled?"

next second.

A Chunin from Kirigakure, wielding a kunai, appeared on the trunk of a nearby tree. A flash of light passed by, but the blade missed its target. The Chunin immediately retreated, landing on the trunk of another tree.

"As expected of a Konoha ninja."
