Carrying the shark muscle and breaking through the leaves

Chapter 8
On the way to Jinzhidao Wharf, Lu Xiaoduan and Terumi Mei shuttled quickly through the woods, without much conversation along the way.

At the moment when he was about to step into the destination, a strange-looking white snake suddenly emerged from the grass, poked its head out, spit out the letter, and stared at Lu Xiaoduan and Terumi Mei who were going away for a long time before moving away. open.

Isle of Gold, Tidal Dock.

"Well, it's the ninja from Kirigakure."

An old man was wearing a long robe, sitting on the tatami next to the low tea table, looking up and down at Lu Xiaoduan and Terumimei with a pair of dim eyes, holding a pipe in his hand, and smacking his mouth from time to time.

"Yes, old sir. I heard that you have been frequently harassed by pirates recently, so Mizukage-sama of Kirigakure specially sent us to protect you."

Terumi Mei smiled and said, but Lu Xiaoduan didn't have a good face. The more he looked at this old man, the more he looked like his math teacher on earth.

Hearing Terumi Mei's words, the old man frowned, although he already knew the purpose of Lu Xiaoduan and the others' coming, but he didn't know why, and he didn't mean to be happy at all.

On the contrary, it looks a bit like Terumi Mei and Lu Xiaoduan are not welcome.

"About the pirate attack, we have already thought of a countermeasure, and we don't need the participation of ninjas." The old man stood up and put the bong on his waist. "I think you should go back."

"This……"

Terumi Mei and Lu Xiaoduan looked at each other, they were the ones who applied for the ninja support, and they wanted to drive us away in the end, what is this called?

"Teacher, bah, old man, don't be afraid, with the strength of our two jounin, it's more than enough to deal with those few miscellaneous fish pirates."

Lu Xiaoduan stood up and said, Terumi Mei nodded cooperatively.

Hearing the word "Junin", the old man was a little shaken, but he still insisted: "No! You don't know how powerful those beasts are. They burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. The most terrifying thing is the one among them. A defected ninja, none of my men who saw him came back alive. So, before they find out, I advise you to leave quickly!"

"If you run away without even seeing that ninja, wouldn't it be too bloodless." Lu Xiaoduan said, "Believe me, old man, no matter who he is, he will definitely be buried under my sword in the end."

"That's right, old man, if you don't even believe us, then who else can you trust?" Terumi Mei said politely, this time, the old man was indeed persuaded.

The old man frowned, took off the bong at his waist again and became ugly, lost in thought.

The tea served on the coffee table for the guests gradually cools down, and the time passes slowly.

Lu Xiaoduan thought to himself, this old man is Moji, just like my math teacher, he can give a lecture on a small problem.

"Okay." The old man raised his head, "Come with me."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoduan and Terumi Mei looked at each other and nodded encouragingly.

Opening the door, the old man brought Lu Xiaoduan and Terumi Mei to the pier.

The pier is crowded with people, all kinds of people doing all kinds of things.

The boat trackers, the workers who moved the goods, and the merchants waiting for the ship were all busy because tomorrow was the day when the pirates ransacked the wharf, and everyone wanted to minimize losses as much as possible.

Raising his arm, the old man pointed to a deserted place on the easternmost side of the pier.

Lu Xiaoduan and Terumi Mei followed and saw several corpses covered in white cloth.

"This is the body that floated to the seaside this morning. No one has come to claim it so far. They probably aren't locals. They all have a strange scar on their bodies, and no one here knows them. Go over and see if you can recognize them. Maybe it can help you," said the old man.

Lu Xiaoduan nodded, and walked to the corpses first.Terumi Mei followed behind Lu Xiaoduan, looking timid.

"Hey, Kisame, are we really going to see it?" Terumi Mei tugged at the corner of Lu Xiaoduan's clothes, looking scared.

"What's the matter? After so many years of missions, you should have seen many corpses, right? Why...are you still afraid?" Lu Xiaoduan asked curiously.

"No, it's... Those dead people soaked in the water have been floating in the sea for a few days, and their faces and everything have been soaked into disrepair. If you look at it again... wouldn't it be strange?" Terumi Mei was nervous Xixi said, her cheeks flushed.

Seeing Terumi Mei like this, Lu Xiaoduan suddenly compared her with Hinata, and found that the similarity was as high as 99%.

It turns out that Terumi Mei, who looks like a royal sister, also has a side of a cute girl!

"It doesn't matter, you just need to believe that his face will look even more handsome!" Lu Xiaoduan said with a smile, and directly lifted the white cloth from the corpse with one hand, Terumi Mei quickly closed his eyes in fright.

"Ghost... ghost shark..."

"Huh? This imprint..."

After Lu Xiaoduan lifted the white cloth, he looked at the corpse carefully, and found a strange mark on the neck of the corpse.

This imprint is exactly like the Sharingan Gouyu, but there is still a big difference when you look closely.

Lu Xiaoduan couldn't help comparing it with the curse mark left by Orochimaru on Sasuke's neck in his mind, and found that it was exactly the same!
This is the curse mark of the earth left by Orochimaru's snake teeth!
In order to confirm his thoughts, Lu Xiaoduan then removed the white cloths from all the remaining corpses, and sure enough, he saw crooked curse marks on their necks.

These corpses are all failures of Orochimaru's curse seal test.

"Terumi Mei." Lu Xiaoduan raised his head and looked at the distant waves.

"What?" Terumi Mei still didn't dare to open her eyes.

"The opponent we are going to fight next is not an ordinary ninja."

Hearing this, Terumi Mei opened his eyes curiously, and looked at Lu Xiaoduan with a rare serious look.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoduan frowned and said, "Our opponent is most likely Orochimaru, one of the Sannin."

******
On a pirate ship eight nautical miles away from the Golden Island, the captain Monkey D. Luffy (Note: It’s just the same name as One Piece Luffy, that’s all, don’t think too much) took off his straw hat and fanned it wind.

The heat at sea made him very irritable.He really wanted to go ashore and kill him, but the "weird man" temporarily living on the boat set a strange rule of "robbing once every three days".

But thanks to him, the gang of pirates he brought was able to plunder the heavily guarded and wealthiest gold mining island in the Kingdom of Water, the Golden Island.

Since he can actually make money, then Captain Luffy naturally doesn't complain anymore.

"Mr. Lu Fei. Please order the sailors to dock as soon as possible. There is something interesting waiting for me." A hoarse voice came from the cabin, and a strange-looking white snake climbed up the arm of "that weirdo".

"understood."

Captain Luffy put his straw hat back on, stood up, and shouted to the first officer on board.

"Raise the sails, turn the rudder!"
