Chapter 245 The Devastating Sense of Hearing, the Strongest Nemesis of Kirigakure

The sea area of ​​the tea country.

This season should normally be sunny and bright.

But today, the sea is shrouded in a thick, impenetrable white fog.

The fog was damp and cold, carrying the smell of the sea. Visibility was less than five meters.

A huge cargo ship flying the flag of the Takaya Trading Company is sailing on the sea.

The ship was loaded with food and medicine.

"This fog is really weird."

The captain stood on the deck and rubbed his arms.

"Even the compass is malfunctioning. Men, get your spirits up!"

On the deck stood over twenty fully armed guards. They were wandering ninjas and samurai hired at high salaries by the Takaya Trading Company.

Sudden.

"Tick-tock".

A drop of water landed on the tip of a guard's nose.

He subconsciously looked up.

There was only a white fog overhead.

"Pfft."

A sharp sound of a blade slicing through meat.

The guard's head slid off silently, and blood gushed out.

The headless corpse lay on the deck with a dull thud.

"Enemies are in sight!!"

The guards beside him were terrified and immediately drew their swords.

But the fog was too thick.

They couldn't see anything, only hear the rapid breathing of their companions around them.

"Where...where?"

"Whoosh!"

An extremely thin steel wire shot out from the mist and instantly wrapped around the neck of another guard.

Pull hard.

"Click."

Neck fracture.

"It's a silent killing technique!"

The captain roared.

"Form ranks! Back to back!"

But this was of no use.

Countless ghosts seemed to be hiding in the fog.

A giant sword suddenly emerged from the mist.

"when!"

Several guards raised their swords to parry, but they were cleaved in two along with their swords.

That's a decapitation sword.

Screams echoed through the thick fog.

Massacre. A one-sided massacre.

These highly paid guards, before they could even touch the enemy, were reaped.

Less than ten minutes.

The deck fell silent once more.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and blood pooling in puddles.

The thick fog gradually dissipated.

Several figures stood on the mast and the ship's side. They wore striped clothes from the Mist Shadows, their eyes cold and cruel.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Suigetsu Hobutaki, with his enormous body standing at the bow of the ship, held the [Great Sword Samehada], which was wrapped in bandages.

Kushimaru Kurihara, wearing an ANBU mask, was twirling a long sword called "Sewing Needle" in his hand. He was the one who had just killed someone with the wire.

There's also Juzo Biwa, carrying the "Executioner's Blade," wiping the blood off the blade with the clothes of a dead man.

"Too weak."

", Pipa Juzo spat out a mouthful.

"These are the guards of Konoha's largest merchant guild? They're not even as good as genin."

"Don't be careless."

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon's voice sounded like a muffled echo from underwater.

"This is just one of their transport ships. Our real goal is to cut off all their sea routes."

"According to intelligence, the owner of the Takaya Trading Company, a guy named Takaya Sousuke, has a lot of money. The Mizukage said that if we kill him and seize his wealth, Konoha will fall without a fight."

Kurihara Kushimaru let out a cold laugh.

"Money? I'm only interested in sewing people together."

"Let's move on to the next ship."

They were like a swarm of locusts.

On the waters of the Tea Country, they are ruthlessly reaping the assets of the Takaya Trading Company.

But they didn't know that.

On the coastline less than twenty nautical miles from them.

A group of real monsters has arrived.

The coastline of the Tea Country, with its cliffs and beaches.

The waves crashed against the black rocks.

Dense fog also covered this area. This was a large-scale fog concealment technique set up in advance by the vanguard of Kirigakure to cover the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's movements.

Sosuke stood on the cliff top.

The sea breeze ruffled his black trench coat.

Behind him stood a silent legion of private soldiers.

"Boss, the sea area ahead is completely shrouded in fog."

Yuanzao stepped forward to report.

"The Chamber of Commerce's six grain transport ships have lost contact."

-

Sosuke remained silent.

Beneath his left eyepatch, his snake-like eyes peered through the mist, capturing distant chakra fluctuations.

"They're here."

Sosuke said calmly.

"Right there in that fog."

Hyuga Katsu stepped forward.

"Roll your eyes, open them."

The grayish-brown veins protrude at the corners of the eyes.

Panoramic white eye.

His visibility was terrifying. The thick fog appeared transparent in his field of vision.

"Ten nautical miles to the southeast. Three merchant ships are on fire."

Hyuga Katsu coldly reported to his superior.

"Seven high-intensity chakra sources. And about a hundred assassination squad members."

"They're approaching us. They're expected to land in ten minutes."

Sousuke nodded. Before Hyuga Katsu's Byakugan, no enemy could escape their notice.

He turned around and looked at the legion of crippled prosthetics behind him.

One hundred retired ninjas equipped with metal arms stood in neat rows.

"Genzao."

"exist!"

"Bring out the gift that Lord Orochimaru prepared."

"yes!"

Yuanzao waved his hand.

One hundred limbed ninjas simultaneously raised their metal left arms.

The mechanism springs open.

On the inside of the arm, a row of sophisticated launch tubes was visible. They were not filled with ordinary senbon needles.

Instead, it was Orochimaru's specially made "Sonic Boom Needle".

Hollow structure, spiral texture.

"No need to aim. No need to see where they are."

Sosuke watched the thick fog getting closer and closer on the sea.

"They like to play hide-and-seek, so let's shatter all the air in this sea area."

"preparation."

Click-clack.

Chakra began to flow into the prosthetic limb.

Thick fog rolled across the sea.

Several small boats slid like ghosts across the water, approaching the shore.

The assassination squad from the Hidden Mist Village landed silently. Like water ghosts, they clung to the rocks and climbed towards the top of the cliff.

There was not a sound. Even breathing was synchronized with the rhythm of the waves.

"The pigs from Konoha are probably still trembling."

A member of the Hidden Mist sneered inwardly.

They had reached the edge of the cliff top.

Just one more step and a massacre could unfold.

however.

They were not met with panicked guards.

Instead, it was Sosuke's cold voice.

"emission."

One hundred limbed ninjas simultaneously activated the mechanism.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Hundreds of tiny metal needles shot into the thick fog.

They didn't hit anyone.

They are evenly scattered in the air around the cliff, stuck to the reefs, and fall into the sea.

"Missed? What's the point of such a blind attack?"

The member of the Hidden Mist guild thought mockingly.

next second.

The spiral patterns inside the metal needles pinned around the area began to vibrate wildly under the influence of chakra.

"Buzz!!!!"

An extremely sharp and piercing infrasound wave rang out!

This frequency of sound penetrated the thick fog, pierced the skull, and acted directly on the semicircular canals of the human inner ear.

"Hmm!"

The members of the Hidden Mist operatives, who were climbing, suddenly froze.

The world is spinning!

A wave of dizziness washed over them. They felt as if the whole world was spinning, upside down, and they couldn't tell left from right.

"vomit--!

'

One of the operatives couldn't help but let go and began to vomit violently.

Losing his balance, he fell straight off the cliff and crashed onto the rocks.

"What's going on?!"

"My head is spinning!"

The ability of the Hidden Mist to pinpoint locations by sound, which they were so proud of, became a fatal weakness at this moment.

Their hearing is trained year-round, making them far more sensitive to sound than the average person. The infrasound resonance of the sonic boom needle causes them many times more damage.

The silent assassination squad, at this moment, let out a series of muffled groans and vomiting sounds at the edge of the cliff.

They looked like they were drunk, staggering around.

The silent killing technique collapses on its own!

"The sonic boom needle works surprisingly well."

Sousuke looked down at the chaotic Mist Ninja below.

"A thousand raindrops wash the ground."

Genzo gave another order.

The prosthetic legion's arm mechanism switches.

This time, it was a concentrated, conventional poisoning.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Having lost their sense of balance and unable to even stand, the Hidden Fog members became easy targets.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

In just one minute.

The first hundred elite Mist Shadow warriors who landed were wiped out like wheat being harvested.

The body rolled down the cliff into the sea, staining the water red.

"What was that sound?!"

On the distant sea, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen standing on the water also felt a wave of nausea.

However, they are farther away and therefore less affected.

"The vanguard—was wiped out?"

Pipa Juzo carried the Executioner's Blade, his face grim.

"These idiots died without even seeing the enemy?"

Something's not right.

Suigetsu Hozuki gripped Samehada tightly. Samehada wriggled uneasily in his hand, as if sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the cliff top ahead.

"No matter what kind of trap it is, it will all be shattered before the ninja sword!"

The owner of the blunt knife, the slasher, the grass-wielding man, laughed cruelly.

"Go! Smash their heads!"

Seven figures, stepping on the water, rushed towards the top of the cliff.
