Kurenai decided to ignore the sudden change of attitude and decided to ask what she had been wondering ever since she found out it was Kumo Shinobi's that had saved her and her team along with the Princess
"Excuse me Commander Sun Li but I have been wondering why is it that you and your teams were sent to rescue us along with the Princess. Since clearly the reason why you were sent to rescue the Princess was because of the Heavenly Alliance being Allied to Tsuki no Kuni (Land of Moon) and Getsugakure (Village Hidden under the Moon) and it is Tsuki no Kuni Prince that is marrying the Princess. But what I can't understand is why did you save us since our village is not Allied or a member of the Heavenly Alliance" asked Kureani
"The reason is quite simple really you were saved on an act of mercy by our Kage" replied Sun Li
"What!" shouted Choji
"Yes since our Kage didn't think that Konoha would use its remaining resources on attacking Kiri strongest Prison just to save four of it Shinobi's even ones as strong and well know as all of you."
"Also since we were destroying the Prison and helping the other Prisoners escape it was decided to save you since our Kage dose not like to see lives needlessly loss no matter who they are." said Sun Li
The Konoha team were simply stunned since they were save by a mere act of mercy by The Raikage
"Now if you please one of my crewmen will lead you down to the mess room to get something to eat and then lead you to your buck beds. Since as I said there is not much room or privacy in this Submarine so you may feel a bit crapped" said Commander Sun Li after which she then turned to face the main view window of the Submarine.
After which the Konha-nins followed a crewman to the lower deck.
-One day late-
A day after the rescue from "The Hold" the Swordfish was about an hour or more away from their rendezvous point where they would meet their escort fleet.
Currently lying on their buck beds were the Konoha team they had to stay in their buck beds since there was not much they could do after their collars had been removed my the STORM members who were skilled enough in Fūinjutsu to free them of their collars. They were even given some spare ANBU outfits (minus the masks and swords) that the STORM–nins had to wear and change out of their Prison outfits. At first they were a bit uncomfortable with being underwater but they soon got use to it they would even some times look out the small port holes to look at the fish go by them. They were not allowed to explore the Submarine much due to the Kumo crewmen telling them so which was not surprising since they were not Allies to Kumo or the Heavenly Alliance nor were they members of it. The only time they were really allowed to move around a bit was when the Submarine surfaced for air, despite this fact they did know a small bit about the Submarine from what one or two of the crewmen were willing to tell them.
From what they were told the Submarine had three levels, the top was the bridge of the Submarine was where the Submarine was controlled. They were allowed up to the bridge but whenever they went they were accompanied by one or two members of STORM. The second level was where the captain cabin and the buck beds were and where the small mess room and kitchen was which was big enough for ten people to eat in. The third level was where the engine room was as was the diving room where Kumo AQUA-nins could go out into the Water also there was the torpedo room where the Submarine could fire missile like weapons filled with exploding powder that would explode when fired and made contact with it target. The Konoha team knew that with ships like these Kumo could easily take control of the Elemental oceans.
It was as the Konoha team were lying on their buck bed thinking about different things that they then felt an explosion that rock the Submarine and caused Sakura and Choji to fall out of their beds.
"What the hell was that?" asked Choji as he picked himself up
"I don't know but we better get up onto the bridge to find out" said Kurenai as he got out her buck bed and went up the spiral stair followed by Lee, Choji and Sakura
When they reach the bridge they saw the Princess with Robin and Crane on either side of her. They also saw several crewmen pulling several different handles and switch's helping to control the ship while the man at the steering wheel was trying to control the Submarine and Sun Li was giving out orders to the other crewmen.
"Commander Sun Li what going on?" asked Kurenai
Sun Li turned to face Kurenai and said "We're under attack that what going"
"But how?" asked Lee
"We're being attacked by Kiri's SHARK unit. Kiri must have had ships out on the open sea and they must have informed them of the attack and sent out their ships to search for us by sending out their SHARK teams to search underwater. It also seems that some of those teams found us and are attacking us with their portable volley guns loaded with exploding Kunai which was the blasts that you felt." answered Sun Li
"I afraid we have more trouble than just the SHARK unit commander" said a crewmen who was looking up the periscope of the submarine
"What is it" asked Sun Li harshly
"A squad of ten Kiri Warships is heading right for us the SHARK teams that found us must of radio them and reported our position to them" said the crewman
Suddenly there was another explosion that made everyone fall to their left
"Shit and were so close to the rendezvous point" swore Sun Li she then turned to the radio man
"Crewman try and radio to the escort fleet inform them of our situation and that we need help" order Sun Li
