Two days later, early in the morning, outside the Konoha Ninja Village.
Shisui's team was already geared up at the village gate early in the morning, and Yu appeared shortly after at the village's main entrance.
"Yu, you're here. About my fellow clan members...I apologize for the last incident."
Seeing Yu arrive as agreed, Shisui nodded to him in apology. After all, Yu's current identity as the Third Hokage's disciple and a crucial contributor to Konoha made Uchiha Fuma and the others' behavior the day before extremely disrespectful.
"Never mind, I won't bother with those ignorant people."
"Moreover, I've also come to understand the recent situation. It's not easy for you to navigate between the village and the clan."
Regarding Shisui's apology, Yu responded very understandingly. Then, his gaze shifted to the three Konoha Ninja behind Shisui.
"Are these three the ninjas in your team?"
"Yu... Yu-sama..."
Upon seeing Yu's gaze fall upon them, the three Konoha Ninja behind Shisui immediately showed signs of excitement. Scarlet Yu, the legendary Ninja who defeated the Third Raikage single-handedly, was a name they certainly had heard of.
Especially after witnessing Yu effortlessly eliminate over ten elite ninjas from the Uchiha Clan the day before, their admiration and awe towards Yu had only grown stronger.
"Tsukimi, Kanra, Fujido."
"They are all members of my team with extensive mission experience. I believe they can assist us in completing this mission."
After briefly introducing the identities of the three team members behind him to Yu, Shisui nodded at Yu. "If there are no other questions... we are ready to depart now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Shisui was about to lead the three ninjas for departure, Yu suddenly reached out to stop him. "The journey to the Water Country is long, and we need to travel by sea in the middle. Without at least three days, we might not reach our destination in time."
"What do you mean, Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Shisui was momentarily stunned, and his crimson Sharingan looked at Yu with some confusion.
"Air Door!!"
At that moment, a circular, transparent air door suddenly opened behind Yu. Tyrant and Michael emerged from the extradimensional space of Kaio's Door Door Fruit.
"Barrier Sphere!!"
Without waiting for Shisui and the three Ninjas to react, Michael behind Yu activated the full power of the Barrier Fruit.
In the air, a spontaneously generated massive transparent spherical barrier instantly enveloped Shisui's team of four.

"Yu... What is this?!"
Suddenly enveloped in this enormous transparent spherical barrier by Michael, Shisui's crimson Sharingan eyes narrowed. However, out of trust in his comrade, he chose not to release his own formidable Genjutsu.
"Just a means to reach our destination faster..."
Facing the skeptical gazes of Shisui's team, Yu smirked slightly, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. "Are you ready to depart? Our destination—The Water Country!"
Bang!!!
As Yu's words fell, behind him, Tyrant raised his massive bear paw high.
The power of the Paw Fruit erupted madly, instantly sending Shisui's team of four flying with a brutal Flight Slap!
"What is this...?!"
"Hey, hey! Hold on, Yu!!"
By the time Shisui reacted, the four of them had already disappeared in an instant, transforming into shooting stars soaring into the high sky, flying wildly towards an unknown distance.
"Now it's my turn..."
"Tyrant, be gentle with your moves!"
Watching Shisui's team vanish into the distant sky, Yu then manipulated Tyrant to give himself a solid Flight Slap as well.
Surrounded by a shockwave shaped like a bear paw, he swiftly flew in the vast sky. Looking at the rapidly shrinking scenery below and the endless sea of clouds rushing towards him, a contented smile appeared on Yu's face.
Flight Slap - It's a technique where the target is instantly slapped into the air by a palm, surrounded by a bear-paw-shaped shockwave, and then propelled to the destination by the shockwave.
The principle involves utilizing the Paw Fruit's ability to perform Space Transfer on the target. This not only achieves the instantaneous elimination of enemies but also allows for the rapid transfer of oneself or allies to the desired location.
...
"Is this... the Water Country?!"
After flying in the sky for about half a day, Shisui and his team finally descended from the high altitude into the territory of the Water Country.
Looking at the completely unfamiliar surroundings and Yu, who descended from the sky shortly after, Shisui's expression was filled with inexplicable amazement.
"How was it..."
"Did you enjoy the feeling of traveling in the sky?"
After safely landing with the bear-paw-shaped shockwave enveloping them, Yu couldn't help but smile triumphantly upon seeing Shisui's bewildered expression.
The fact that Shisui, the most powerful Genjutsu ninja in the world that made a name for himself in the ninja world through his unique Body Flicker, showed such an expression made Yu feel an unprecedented satisfaction with his vanity.
"To think that we arrived in the Water Country using this method..."
"Although that's the case, isn't this ability just too unbelievable?"
After figuring out their current location, Shisui's expression still showed some disbelief. After all, being slapped from the Land of Fire to the Water Country by a puppet of a ninja, such an absurd occurrence was hard for anyone to accept.
"Enough with the chatter; someone is approaching."
As Yu spoke, his Observation Haki had already sensed several Kirigakure Ninja rapidly approaching in the vicinity.
Even though they were currently in the wilderness of the Water Country, the conspicuous descent of a few individuals from high altitude had still attracted the attention of some nearby ninjas.
"Who are you people?!"
As expected, accompanied by a stern shout, several Kirigakure Ninja with the village headbands approached from a distance.
"Don't be impulsive; I will handle the inquiries from these ninja."
Looking at the Mist ninjas gathering around, Shisui calmly spoke.
"Where are you guys coming from? What brings you to the Water Country?"
In an instant, several Mist ninjas had surrounded Yu and his group, loudly questioning them.
"We are merchants from the Land of Waves, here to purchase materials in your country."
As a few Mist ninjas approached for inspection, Shisui's eyes quietly transformed into the crimson Sharingan. "This is our identification; take a look..."
Upon seeing Shisui's Sharingan, the Mist ninjas were initially surprised. Soon, their eyes started to grow confused. They absentmindedly accepted the identification Shisui handed over. "Uh, merchants from the Land of Waves, right?"
"Well, the identification seems fine; you can pass."
After saying that, the Mist ninjas turned blankly and signaled their companions to let the group go.
'Sharingan's Genjutsu, huh...
Indeed, it leaves no traces...'
Seeing Shisui cast a glance that caused several Mist ninjas' Chakra to become chaotic, trapping them in the Genjutsu created by the Sharingan, Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
