At this time, Funado Kuromu didn't hear a word. He looked at Xia Yu as if he were a monster. The strength that Xia Yu had just displayed really scared him.

"Hey, did you hear that? Speak..."

"..."

After asking several times, Funado Kuroi didn't respond at all. He just opened his mouth and kept muttering all kinds of gibberish. He was probably scared silly.

Honoka asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"They must have been stupid..." Xia Yu turned his gaze to the other bald pirates. The moment his gaze focused, all the bald pirates subconsciously crawled backwards, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Forget it, I'll ask someone else to help me investigate the information about Funato's lair..."

Xia Yu was too lazy to waste time questioning. He had just used up a lot of chakra, and now he just wanted to take Honoka to have a good rest...

......

Chapter 123 Uchiha Reserve Country II

After the battle, at Xia Yu's order, all the captured pirates were taken to prison for future punishment.

They had no ability to resist at all. After all, their waists were still hurting, and it was good enough to be able to hold on.

The villagers returned to their homes and resumed their normal lives.

Starfish and Sea Cucumber brought Xia Yu and Honoka to the Daimyo Prefecture.

"Sir Daimyo, from now on, you will live here. If you dislike it, I will quickly have someone build a new Daimyo mansion for you to use. If nothing else, I will make sure it has plenty of bedrooms~"

"Oh?"

These words touched Xia Yu's heart. Looking at Hai Xing's intriguing eyes, Xia Yu smiled evilly:

"It seems that you have understood the profound meaning of what I said before, 'offspring will prosper the country'. Yes, you are a talented person..."

Hai Xing quickly cupped his hands and said, "No, no, the good intentions of the Daimyo are beyond my reach, and this is indeed for the future of the Sea Country, so I will naturally strongly support it..."

"Um..."

"My Lord Daimyo, you have just been through a great battle, go and rest. I will take care of the rest. If nothing else, I will ensure that those who are young, beautiful, have big butts and are easy to give birth to are given priority, so that we can reserve more high-quality Uchiha bloodlines for the country. Time is running out, and I will do my best."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then~"

......

the next day.

Near the southern border of the Water Country, at Botao Island.

This place is the main base of the Funado clan. Ever since they left the Water Country more than ten years ago, they have been hiding here and developing secretly.

"Damn it! Why is there still no news from the Desolate Sea and the Black Fog?"

In the dim hall of the building, a middle-aged man with blond hair and bare chest was pacing back and forth. It was not difficult to tell from his expression that he was very impatient and annoyed.

This person is the head of the Funado clan, Funado Arami's father, Funado Kaikai.

The subordinates around stood trembling on both sides, not saying a word. For a whole day, there was no news from the Sea Kingdom's troops. In fact, they already felt a little uneasy.

This invasion of the Sea Kingdom is likely to not be very smooth.

"No! I can't stand it anymore. Prepare the ship immediately and take all the fighting forces. I want to go to the Sea Kingdom to find out what's going on!"

Funado Kaikai stopped, waved his huge hand, and anxiously shouted out his decision.

A brown-skinned girl standing next to him quickly comforted him:

"Father, please be patient. I have already sent five scout ships to the Sea Kingdom last night. According to the time, we will get news soon..."

"You are the head of the clan, you must not leave here. If the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village take the opportunity to come, then the home we have worked so hard to build will be gone."

"..." After listening to the young girl's words, Funado Dahai pondered for a moment, analyzed the pros and cons, and finally calmed down.

He gently ruffled the girl's fluffy yellow short hair and said softly:

"You're right, daughter. Fortunately, you are by my side. Otherwise, with my impatience, I really don't know what I would do without considering the overall situation."

This blond girl is Funado Umi’s daughter, Funado Aobuta.

Since leaving the Water Country, the Funado clan has been living a very free and easy life outside. Due to the seclusion of the Hidden Mist Village, the Funado clan's pirate business outside the Water Country has been booming. They have been successful in almost everything they do and have accumulated a lot of wealth and power.

However, in the past six months, due to the change of ownership of the Hidden Mist Village and the relaxation of policies, with the gradual revival of the Hidden Mist Village, the ninja system got on track and began to undertake missions issued by neighboring countries, most of which were escorting fleets and dealing with pirates. This made the pirate business of the Funado clan gradually become difficult.

If things continue to develop in this way, there will inevitably be a war. Who knows at any time, Kirigakure might send a large-scale attack. As the head of the clan, Funado Kaikai cannot leave at will.

Fortunately, his oldest son, Funato Arami, recently awakened the power of the sea dragon, which greatly increased the strength of the Funato clan.

The entire Funato group originally wanted to continue expanding their power and wait for the right time to seek revenge on their old employer, the Water Kingdom. However, they never expected that they might encounter a Waterloo just as they started attacking the Sea Kingdom. The life and death of their eldest son and second son are now unknown, so it is understandable that Funato Kaikai would be so impatient.

His daughter's words made Funado Kaikai feel a little more rational, but before he could calm down for a moment, a panicked voice suddenly came from the door.

The spies are back.

"Chief! It's bad! On our way back from the Sea Kingdom, we passed by the Water Kingdom and found that they were gathering a large number of warships. Judging from their momentum and direction, they are most likely heading towards us and are determined to fight us to the death!"

Funado Arami was shocked: "What did you say? How is this possible! How could those disgusting guys from the Hidden Mist Village know our base so quickly! "

An old man stood up and reminded with an uneasy look:

"Master, recently when our people were plundering merchant ships on the high seas, they often encountered the escorting Kirigakure ninjas, which caused us constant frictions of all sizes. It was inevitable that some of our clansmen would leak the news in order to save their lives. Alas, I had expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."

"Damn it!" Funado Arami was furious and pounded his fist hard on the ground. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something and asked the spies:

"How's things going in the Sea Kingdom? Where's my great son? Have you seen him?"

"No...I didn't see it." The spy lowered his head and replied in a low voice:

"When we arrived at the border of the Sea Kingdom last night, we found through observation that there was no sign of invasion at all. We also did not see the fleet of the young patriarch, the fleet of Lord Black Mist, or other members of our tribe..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Funado Kaikai's beard was almost crooked with anger.

"How can you expect me to believe such an absurd thing! My two good sons were clearly going to attack the weak Sea Kingdom. Are you blind? Can't you see their fleet is so large? Could it be that they have disappeared from the face of the earth?"

"This... Lord Patriarch, we really didn't see anything. I think... Young Patriarch and his men probably didn't go to the Sea Kingdom."

"Nonsense!" Funado Dahai was extremely angry at this moment. Just as he was about to scold again, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Master Patriarch, please calm down. There is no need for the spies to lie. I think the most reasonable explanation is that the young patriarch and his men did not go to the Sea Kingdom. And now is not the time to dwell on this. We should arrange troops to fight against the Netherworld as soon as possible!"

"..."

"call…"

Funado Dahai took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and tried to calm himself down. After calming down, he immediately pulled out the shark bone harpoon with autonomous consciousness beside the throne and shouted:

"Put aside the Sea Country's matters first, and go! Follow me to meet the Kirigakure! Remember, no one will be left alive!"

"Yes!"

……

On the southern coast of the Land of Water, the fleet of the Hidden Mist Village is marching towards Botao Island with great force.

On the lead ship, Mei Terumi, the commander-in-chief of this operation, was discussing plans with her trusted subordinates Chojuro and Ao.

There were two people sitting next to these people. They were the Daimyo of the Sea Country who had fled to the Hidden Mist Village, and his follower, Udon, one of the three pillars of the Sea Country.

Qing Bing asked, "Daimyo, are you sure that the Funato clan's army is attacking the Sea Kingdom..."

"Of course I am sure! Otherwise, why would I let the Kirigakure ninjas escort me to you? Kirigakure ninjas, you must believe me and help me recover the lost territory!"

"As long as this is accomplished, the tribute that the Sea Country pays to Kirigakure will be tripled! No, five times!"

Looking at the abominable appearance of the Daimyo of the Sea Country, Qing sneered:

"Haha, okay... I just want to confirm with you, nothing else."

"But I'm curious about you having all the Kirigakure ninja stationed in the Sea Country escort you here. What about the villagers in the Sea Country? They are probably in dire straits now. I know the Funato clan well. They never leave anyone alive."

"This..." Feeling Qing's contemptuous eyes, the Daimyo of the Sea Country naturally heard Qing's sarcasm. Just when he didn't know how to answer because of his guilty conscience, Sea Urchin immediately spoke up to smooth things over for the Daimyo:

"Compared to the lives of the villagers, the life of the daimyo is naturally the most important. As long as the daimyo is alive, the country will survive."

"Ah…"

Qing shook his head and was about to continue mocking when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. He turned his head slightly and saw Mei Terumi looking at him with murderous intent. She stood up and walked in front of him, whispering in his ear:

"Qing, if you continue to talk nonsense in the combat meeting, I will kill you..."

"Uh..."

......

Chapter 124 Mei Terumi's Debut

Qing instantly calmed down, sitting upright with his mouth tightly shut.

After scolding Qing, Terumi Mei ignored the Daimyo of the Sea Country and turned around to gently pat Chojuro's shoulder with her jade hand, and said softly, "

"What's wrong with you? You're shaking all the time..."

Being so close to Mei Terumi and smelling her fragrance, Chojuro blushed and said nervously:

"Sir, I... I am only eleven years old, and you asked me to participate in such an important war. I am really... really afraid of disappointing your expectations of me."

"No, I believe you, you are very strong~"

Facing Chojuro, Terumi Mei always had a sweet smile on her face. Looking at this smile, Chojuro's heart almost melted, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"My Lord, she is so gentle~"

"Huh? Why is your face so red?" Mei Terumi asked with concern.

"No! I, I might have a fever... It's nothing serious."

"Oh? Let me see..." Mei Terumi frowned slightly and touched her forehead directly against Chojuro's forehead as if no one was around.

"…It's a bit hot indeed, Chojuro. If you're not feeling well, you should go and rest for a while."

"No...it's okay, I can hold on!"

"Alas..." Seeing this, Qing finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Sir, you dote on Chojuro too much. Because of this, the young men these days have become complacent. In my time, I wouldn't be so hypocritical even if I went blind, let alone had a fever. My companions wouldn't care about me at all..."

“Qing! This is not the dark age anymore! The Blood Mist Village is a thing of the past. As seniors, it is normal and healthy for us to show care and love to the juniors! Stop showing off the past all the time!”

The past of Kirigakure was something that Mei Terumi had always been reluctant to talk about. Qing realized that he had spoken out of turn and hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry... I accidentally..."

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, and discuss the battle plan as soon as possible."

Mei Terumi sat back down, pointed at the map on the table, and spoke slowly:

"This island is called Botao Island. In the past six months, since we opened the port, we have had many encounters with the pirates of the Funato clan. We finally confirmed that this place is the nest of the Funato clan..."

"Now most of the Funato clan's power is in the Sea Country. This is an opportunity, the best time for us to attack the Funato clan's foundation! Let's settle the feud between us Kirigakure and Funato for more than ten years, today..."

"After the Fourth Mizukage stepped down, Master Yuanshi has been recommending me to be the Fifth Mizukage. However, I am still young and I know that I have limited abilities and no achievements. It is difficult for me to take on this important task. Many seniors do not accept my responsibility. Therefore, I want to win the hearts of the people through this war to annihilate the Funato clan. It can also be regarded as a good experience. I must win this battle in my debut!"

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely assist you with all my strength!"

Qing glanced at the map, then looked up at the current location of the fleet. He closed his eyes, formed a seal with one hand, and said:

"We are almost there. Botao Island has entered my sensing range. Everyone, please be quiet. I want to sense how many powerful enemies are stored on Botao Island."

As the captain of the Kirigakure perception unit, Qing's perception ability is the strongest in Kirigakure, and he has never made any mistakes.

After a moment, Qing Meng opened his eyes and said seriously:

"There are many chakra bodies on Botao Island gathering towards the shore. I believe they also know that we are going to attack them and have begun to defend themselves."

"Among these many chakras, there are five with exceptionally strong powers, one of which is even as powerful as you, my lord."

"Hmm..." Mei Terumi nodded, holding her chin in her hand: "As expected of the Funado clan, they have taken away so many troops but still have such a lineup. It is indeed a tough nut to crack..."

"The man with the same chakra as me should be the leader of the Funato clan. I will deal with him, and the rest will be left to you to handle..."

Chojuro clenched his fists nervously, his palms were sweating profusely. This was the first time he faced a truly powerful foreign enemy. Although he was not confident, for the sake of the gentle Lady Terumi Mei, he gritted his teeth and said the most powerful words in the most timid voice:

"My Lord...I will kill them all, and then...I will come to support you..."
