Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"Boss."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, looked at the Third Raikage, and smiled. He nodded and said, "I've found the brat's location."

"Where?" The Third Raikage asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man poured the bucket full of small fish into the sea. The seabirds in the air instantly swarmed down to snatch the fish.

"On a small island in the center of the Storm Sea." The middle-aged man said.

"The Storm Sea has an island?"

The Third Raikage was a little surprised. The Storm Sea was a large sea area where storms frequently occurred. He had never heard of any islands there. He had only heard that people who entered the Storm Sea never came out again. They got lost in it. That's why that sea area was also called the Lost Sea.

He hadn't expected there to be an island there.

That brat had found a good place.

It's a pity that he encountered the Daruma family, who could communicate and control birds.

The Third Raikage smiled inwardly. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "How long will it take us to get to that island from here?"

"By ship, a month."

"By Pedda..." The middle-aged man frowned and thought for a moment. "We can get there in three days."

"Good." The Third Raikage said, "Then let's catch that brat in three days."

"Understood, Boss." The middle-aged man replied. Then, he suddenly rolled his eyes, as if he was making contact with something.

"Chirp..."

A loud eagle's cry suddenly rang out. The iron steam ship was enveloped in a huge shadow. The flock of seabirds that were still snatching fish by the side of the ship instantly scattered.

Wind!

Wind!

The sound of huge wings flapping created gusts of wind.

The Third Raikage looked up. A gray-brown eagle, even bigger than the iron ship, was hovering in front of the bow, flapping its wings.

"Is this Pedda, the eagle that the Daruma family has been feeding with Chakra medicine for generations? It's really big!"

The Third Raikage couldn't help but marvel. Then, a slight smile played on his lips. Now, he didn't have to worry about that brat's flying jutsu.

"Please, Boss."

The middle-aged man raised his hand, gesturing for him to go. His tone was proud, and his expression didn't hide anything.

In the ninja world, where flying jutsu is scarce, the Daruma family, who could cultivate such a giant eagle to replace flying jutsu for reconnaissance, was qualified to be proud.

At least in the Cloud, the Daruma family, relying on this skill of cultivating eagles, enjoyed a certain special status in the village.

Whizz, whizz... The five of them jumped onto the back of the gray-brown eagle.

Besides the Third Raikage and the middle-aged man from the Daruma family, there were three other ninjas following them. They were members of the Third Raikage's bodyguard team, with strong abilities and good teamwork.

The five of them sat on the eagle, which was as big as a medium-sized passenger plane, and flew towards the direction where Kenshi had named the island, Venomous Snake Island.

Meanwhile.

The Sea of War, near the Land of Earth side of the sea.

At a height of one thousand meters, a large white bird with black stripes spread its wings and glided.

On the back of the bird, Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife were both holding a large map, which marked most of the islands in the Sea of War and some dangerous sea areas.

"We've searched most of the islands on this side. Further north, the temperature drops below minus ten degrees Celsius. Kenshi shouldn't be going north," Sarutobi Ayase said, pointing to a sea area near the Land of Earth on the map.

Over the past few days, they had searched most of the islands in this sea area that were habitable. They hadn't found any traces of Kenshi staying there.

Further north, the temperature was getting colder. Kenshi obviously wouldn't go there. Even if he did, he wouldn't stay there for long. He would come out.

"Then... that leaves this place."

Sarutobi Tenjū pointed to a large blank area in the middle of the map. According to the fishermen, the middle of the Sea of War was called the Storm Sea. Not only were there frequent storms there, but there were also no islands. Once you lost your direction, you could only wait to die.

During the war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, the sea routes were all avoided this area.

If Kenshi wasn't in the sea area near the Land of Earth, the Cloud, who knew more information on the Land of Lightning side, must have already sent people to search for him. If they hadn't found Kenshi's trail there either.

Then, the Storm Sea must be where Kenshi was hiding.

Otherwise... he must have snuck back to the southern shore, into one of the small countries.

No matter what, they needed to go to the Storm Sea.

"Should we go?"

Sarutobi Ayase hesitated. She looked at the Storm Sea marked on the map. It was bigger than half of Konoha.

On land, they could rest. But on the sea, they couldn't rest. It would be very dangerous if they got lost.

"We won't go deep. We'll fly a little higher and see what's going on, then come back."

Sarutobi Tenjū patted his wife's hand and said, "Kenshi's ration pills will always run out. He will definitely reappear. We just need to find him as much as possible."

The information about Kenshi had already been leaked. The Land of Lightning would definitely take the bait. Even if the other hidden villages didn't believe it, they would send a team to check once they got the information about the Land of Lightning's actions.

As long as they sent people to look for Kenshi, the Third Hokage's initial goal would be achieved.

Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife's mission wasn't urgent. They just had to try their best.

The couple immediately turned the ink bird and flew towards the Storm Sea.

Three days later.

Eastern border of the Land of Earth.

Above a small town, Kenshi stood on the back of the Black Iron giant eagle, staring at the scorching sun, watching the town below. In his Chakra Sensing, there were six people with Chakra.

Four of them were one big and three small. They were probably rookie ninjas from Iwagakure, on a D-rank mission. They weren't a big threat.

The other two were in a luxurious building.

The Land of Earth, due to its geographical environment, had a lot of wind. Its architectural style was mostly round.

In addition, the places where wealthy and powerful people lived weren't like the villas in the Land of Fire. They were like skyscrapers in his previous life. The taller and bigger the building, the higher the status of the people living there.

It was clear that Kenshi's target was the richest and most powerful merchant in this town, who lived in the tallest and biggest building.

The two ninjas were probably hired by the owner of the building. He wondered if they were Iwagakure ninjas or wandering ninjas.

Judging from their Chakra amount and strength, they were just ordinary chūnin. Kenshi should be able to take them down easily.

But Kenshi still waited until it was pitch black at night before jumping off the back of the Black Iron giant eagle. A Black Iron Chain connected him to the Black Iron giant eagle in the air, slowly lowering him.

Tap... Kenshi gently landed on the spire-shaped roof.

Chakra gathered under his feet. Kenshi walked straight down from the roof, reaching the window of the top floor.

Outside the room, two ninjas stood on either side, diligently guarding the fat man.

Kenshi, with a thought, sent intangible genjutsu Chakra through the closed window.

Kenshi then stretched out his hand, and a thin Chakra chain passed through the window crack and entered the room, opening the window.

Creak... The sound was a bit loud!

But the man and woman in the room, who were under Kenshi's genjutsu Chakra, didn't react at all. They didn't even react when he entered through the window, walked to their bed, and stared at them for a while.

"Not bad!"

Kenshi's lips curled into a slight smile. He was quite satisfied with the effect of his genjutsu.

"Next up is the two ninjas outside."

Kenshi turned to look at the door. With a thought, two Black Iron Chains turned intangible, passed through the wall, and entered the two ninjas' bodies.

Without any surprise, the two ninjas' Chakra was instantly sealed. Their bodies were bound by the Black Iron Chains and they couldn't move.

Kenshi disconnected the Black Iron Chains. The Black Iron Chains that bound the two ninjas didn't disappear, and the seal didn't disappear either.

Even without connecting to his real body, the Black Iron Chains had his consciousness fused into them. They were still under Kenshi's control. He didn't have to worry about the people he had bound escaping.

Then, Kenshi used genjutsu Chakra to control everyone in the building, having the chef cook him a meal. Finally, he returned to the top floor of the building.

In the room, the fat man saw Kenshi bringing back the two wandering ninjas he had hired. He didn't react at all. It was as if he hadn't seen anything.

Actually, he really didn't see Kenshi.

Kenshi's genjutsu Chakra had already blocked all the ordinary people in this building from sensing anything about him.

Ordinary people were so powerless against ninjas.

Simple genjutsu Chakra could make them live in a world of illusions without knowing it.

He wondered how the Daimyo, as an ordinary person, could achieve such a high status?

Kenshi had a moment of doubt, then shook his head. Forget it. As long as they didn't provoke him, it was fine.

Now, he would experiment with the magical mysteries of genjutsu Chakra.

"Ugh... ugh..."

The two wandering ninjas, with their eyes wide open, looked at Kenshi in fear and begged. They couldn't believe that they had encountered such a powerful ninja in such a remote town.

Although they were wandering ninjas, they weren't completely ignorant. They knew about the famous Adamantine Binding Chains of the Uzumaki clan.

Because they knew, they understood how powerful Kenshi was.

Although Kenshi was just a twelve-year-old boy in appearance.

The two only hoped that Kenshi wouldn't kill them.

Unfortunately, Kenshi didn't give them a chance to speak. He retracted the Black Iron Chains from their bodies and simultaneously condensed Dark Technique genjutsu Chakra, instantly infiltrating their bodies.

The two instantly went blind. They were scared silly. They thought they were going to die and struggled constantly.

Kenshi quietly sensed the state of the Dark Technique genjutsu Chakra after it had merged with their Chakra.
