At the same time.
On the No. 2 ship, which is anchored on the sea at the border of the Land of Fire.
Everyone is gathering for a meeting.
“Still no news about Kaito?”
Ao rubbed his brows with a worried look on his face, but no one could give an answer to his question.
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. The atmosphere in the cabin seemed particularly depressing for a moment.
"Why don't we just retreat? If the ship stays here, it's likely to be discovered by Konohagakure or Sunagakure ninjas."
The captain of the escort team suggested quietly, but was met with angry glares from everyone else.
However, the captain of the escort team's suggestion is not without reason.
In the past two days, this originally remote land of the Land of Fire has become a battlefield between Konohagakure and Sunagakure. Both sides have sent a large number of ninjas to frequently engage in small-scale conflicts here.
The source of this was the day when the Fourth Kazekage Rasa led a team to rob Konohagakure of supplies.
Although this place is not a strategic location and this small-scale conflict on different battlefields will not last long, at least for now, the entire surrounding area is no longer safe.
Even though neither side is likely to think of fighting at sea in the short term, the risk of the No. 2 ship being exposed is increasing day by day because everyone is frequently searching for Kaito's traces near the battlefield.
"Let's not talk about retreating. The search and rescue of Kaito was also an order issued by the front-line headquarters."
Although Ao felt a little troubled, he still directly rejected the other party's proposal.
However, the captain of the escort team seemed determined to persuade everyone to retreat. Even though Ao had already cited the orders from his superiors, he was still muttering to himself.
"That was an order from two days ago, but the frontline camp has not responded in the past two days."
What he said was one of the reasons why everyone was worried.
In theory, although the second ship is on an outbound mission, the communication ninjas can still transmit information back and forth within a few hours.
However, except for the response to the mission report sent to the front-line camp after everyone returned to the ship on the first day, all the subsequent information transmissions seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
Now everyone is wondering if there is some serious situation on the front line, and they are becoming more and more anxious about finding Kaito.
In fact, this situation is normal. Although they all belong to the flying unit, after all, when they are on most missions, the escort team and the flying unit flying squad travel on two ships.
The missions they performed were not completely overlapping, and Kaito was naturally closer to the members of his direct flying squad and was more supported by them.
But this time, before Ao could say anything to reprimand him, the already depressed members of the Flying Unit surrounded the captain of the escort team one by one.
The captain of the second team, Toshio Utsumi, flashed in front of him, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
At this moment, veins on Utsumi Toshio's arms were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the man, and he let out a suppressed growl.
"Asshole! Are you trying to abandon your superiors and run away?! Huh!? Believe it or not, I will kill you right here!!!"
The captain of the escort team, who was somewhat indignant when Ao rejected him just now, was now silent as a cicada and dared not say another word.
When the others saw that Utsumi Toshio had even taken out his kunai, they hurried forward to stop him to prevent him from doing anything stupid.
At this time, Kono walked forward, snatched the kunai from Utsumi Toshio's hand, and pushed the captain of the escort team aside.
At the same time, he patted Utsumi Toshio on the shoulder and spoke to comfort him.
"Captain Mirukawa will definitely be fine. If you cause trouble here, won't the captain have to clean up the mess for you when he comes back?"
"And the Konoha ninja we captured two days ago also said that the Yellow Flash did not catch the captain. The captain is usually so timid, he must be hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries at this time."
With the presence of team captain Kono who stepped in to ease the situation, the atmosphere among the group finally became a little better.
But the problem still hasn't been solved.
Ao frowned tightly and sighed helplessly.
He didn't think that Kaito would die in battle or be captured by Konoha.
It's not just because of the words of the captured Konoha ninja. After all, he is just an ordinary ninja and the information he obtained has little reference value.
But Ao has been Kaito's sensei for so long, and he has a deep understanding of this kid.
In Ao's opinion, with all the various life-saving methods developed by Kaito, it is impossible for him to be defeated so quietly, even if his opponent is the Yellow Flash, which he himself cannot deal with.
Smoothing his frown again, Ao looked at Kono and asked.
"Has Jonin Hoshigaki not come back yet?"
When asked the question, Kono just nodded helplessly without saying much.
But the others also knew what he meant.
Because since the mission started two days ago, Kisame, Mei, and Zabuza have not returned to the ship.
At that time, after Kaito stopped the pursuers for them, he flew to lead the flying unit. Originally, he wanted Ao and his companions to retreat directly back to the ship.
But after a little hesitation, they decided to go back and help provide cover.
At that time, the mission had basically failed due to intelligence errors, so everyone felt that there was no need to act according to the previous arrangements.
But there is still a difference between running on the ground and flying in the sky, and the battle between Kaito and Minato did not last long.
By the time the four of them approached the battle site, it was already Rasa's turn to appear, and several of them were nearly affected by the 'Gold Dust Burial'.
However, a few of them did watch the entire battle between Konohagakure and Sunagakure. It was not until they met up with the Flying Unit that had lost their flying equipment that they learned about Kaito's situation.
Kisame and the other two started looking for Kaito directly, until now.
Ao had to return to the boat because he had to take command from Kaito.
"I heard that Kisame has killed a lot of ninjas from Konohagakure and Sunagakure in the past two days."
"He is the Hiramekarei user after all."
Several members of the Flying Unit discussed quietly.
What Kisame did and the strength he displayed in the past two days have been recognized by his subordinates including Kaito.
“Shua——”
A huge blue blade light slashed across, cutting off the Sunagakure puppeteer in front of him and his puppet together.
On the other side, Zabuza, who had also defeated his opponent, looked at the Hiramekarei in Kisame's hand with some envy.
Mei also ran over from a distance.
"Kisame-senpai, the escaped ninja has also been dealt with."
Kisame nodded when he heard that and silently hung the Twin Blades, Hiramekarei, on his back.
The three of them did not intend to fight, but there were too many teams from Konohagakure and Sunagakure on the battlefield. In order to avoid being surrounded and attacked, they could only eliminate all the enemies they saw.
Zabuza on the side also sheathed his 'Short Sword: Nuibari’, took out a map and walked over.
"We've already searched these places. The terrain ahead is relatively hidden. Maybe that guy Kaito will..."
However, before Zabuza could finish his words, a blue figure quickly passed by from a distance.
"Blue!"
