"Choza-senpai, are you saying the Sea Serpent Gang is in the sea?" Shinji pointed to the vast, endless ocean and asked.
"Yes, to be honest, if I hadn't happened to think of sothing, we really would have been fooled." Choza nodded.
"What is it?" Shunji asked.
"A Kekkei Genkai, but that clan hasn't been heard from for a long ti." Choza squinted, as if reminiscing.
Another Kekkei Genkai.
Shinji couldn't help but rub his hair. Why did it feel like these things were being sold in bulk every ti he went out?
"The intel Shikaku gave was that two days ago, Suna ninjas transported another batch of supplies."
"Anbu followed them all the way, but they lost their trace in the end."
"We originally thought they were transported through the docks, but now all the major docks in the Land of Rivers have been taken by us."
"Yet, we still haven't found the whereabouts of this batch of supplies, and the Suna ninjas' transport frequency hasn't decreased."
As Choza spoke, Shinji listened, growing increasingly confused.
With no news, how did Choza figure out that these people were in the sea?
Noticing Shinji's gaze, Choza chuckled foolishly. "It was actually a coincidence when we found these people. They probably ca up for air and were discovered by this Hyuga."
As he spoke, Choza patted the Hyuga beside him, who was looking at Shinji with a serious expression.
Uh—
Shinji, who had encountered several Hyugas, indicated he was used to it.
"Did you observe the full picture at the ti?" Shinji asked curiously, as he understood that only Yamato's Wood Release could do sothing like that.
The Hyuga said, "No, it's just that there was a Chakra fluctuation on the sea surface. I found it strange, so I kept observing."
"Later, I discovered a group of objects lurking under the sea. However, the distance was too far, and I couldn't accurately sense them."
At this point, the Hyuga in front of him lowered his head, seemingly annoyed.
Shinji nodded, patted the person's shoulder, and then stood up, looking at the distant sea.
Choza ca to Shinji's side and explained to him, "That's also why I was able to rember. During the Second Great Ninja War, there was once a clan in the Ninja World whose Kekkei Genkai was called—"
"Adhesive Steel Release."
"Adhesive Steel Release?"
Shinji turned to look at Choza. He had hardly heard of this. He had read all the books in the Konoha library. It was almost impossible for him to forget anything that was recorded.
Choza said, "Hmm, it's a pretty good Kekkei Genkai. If I hadn't happened to encounter it when my father and I were on a mission back then, I probably wouldn't have guessed it now."
Shinji asked curiously, "What kind of Nature Transformation is it?"
Steel Release was understandable, as that Kekkei Genkai was quite famous. The user who made this Kekkei Genkai famous was Hiruko, it was a combination of Lightning and Earth Nature Transformation.
But Adhesive Steel Release really left Shinji puzzled.
"Water and Earth." Choza said calmly.
Gah—!
"Water and Earth?" Shinji's expression instantly beca serious.
The First Hokage's Wood Release was also a combination of these two Nature Transformations. It just had an additional Yang Release. But that couldn't be considered a fusion of Nature Transformation. Rather, Yang Chakra gave life to the forr two Nature Transformations, allowing them to combine into Wood Release.
"Surprised?" Choza asked with a smile.
Then, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not that kind."
"Although Adhesive Steel Release is ford by the combination of Water and Earth Nature Transformation, its main structure is to generate based on the flowing life of water and the solid stability of earth. A perfect fusion at the Chakra level creates a miraculous substance that combines bioactive minerals, fluid structural plasticity, and strength."
Shinji raised an eyebrow. This was already very strong, wasn't it?
According to what Choza said, this was a capability to form bio-machinery using a Kekkei Genkai. If it really was this kind of Kekkei Genkai , it was indeed possible to do such a thing.
However, hiding in the sea made it a bit tricky.
No, Choza's expression wasn't one of distress. What he could think of, Choza had no reason not to think of.
Thinking of this, Shinji asked Choza, "Choza-senpai, do you have a plan?"
Choza said approvingly, "That's right. Judging by the frequency, it won't be long before the Suna ninjas' transport ships arrive."
He only knew this because of Shikaku's intel.
"Originally, if we still couldn't find them, Shikaku had already decided to send people to intercept Sunagakure's ships on the sea. But with such a tail, it's necessary to uproot them completely."
After all, over this period, the supplies Sunagakure had deployed were not few.
He also didn't know how Sunagakure found this Kekkei Genkai user. It was likely that the integration of the Sea Serpent Gang was also backed by Sunagakure.
"Roughly what ti?"
Shinji considered the remaining ti. Ti was tight, but the mission wasn't too difficult.
"Tonight, so next, we need to make good arrangents." Choza explained, as Shinji was the leader of this mission.
How to proceed still needed Shinji's confirmation, and as an elder, he would naturally be there to fill in the gaps. This was also why Kakashi had Choza accompany Shinji.
Shinji nodded, a thought flashing through his mind in an instant. He asked, "Choza-senpai, how much water oil do we have left?"
Water oil, a substance that could still burn even when exposed to water. It was sothing almost all countries used in wars. He had previously taught Sasuke to use fla bullet trickily with this. However, its power would decrease sowhat when it encountered water, but that was based on small quantities. If the quantity was large, then it would naturally be different.
Choza thought for a mont before answering, "It's alright, we haven't used much."
"You want to use fire?"
Shinji said, "Yes, it's the fastest thod."
"But if our people appear on the surface, they might notice us." Choza was a bit against this plan, as the risk of exposure was too great.
"No, I'm planning to do this from above." Shinji shook his head and pointed to the sky.
"You can fly?" Choza was first stunned, then looked at Shinji in disbelief and exclaid.
"Yes, I can do it in Sage Mode, but I'm planning to use a Summoning Beast."
Although he could also do it in Sage Mode, the duration was too short. He wasn't sure when the handover would be, so the safest way was to summon Mimi. Coincidentally, Mimi's stealth abilities were not weak.
