Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 52 Caravan
In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, this team immediately formed a group to resist the attack of this rebellious ninja force, and evacuated while defending.

Maybe it was because they couldn't take down the Konoha team in a short time, and if they attacked by force, none of the ninja subordinates seemed willing to take the initiative to attack and lose their lives, so this group of rebel ninja didn't continue to pursue afterward.

When Konoha's squad finished repairing and returned to the village again, the enemy had already left.

So they could only clean up the corpses of the villagers, and followed some traces to find a few bases of suspected rebels, but they found no one.

This team felt that the mission was beyond their reach, and they couldn't cope with it later, so they had to return to the village, so there was this B-level mission that appeared a few days ago.

"Time is a little bit tight, so we can only block it." Now it is very difficult to catch this gang of traitors.

Combined with the information in his hand, he asked Orochimaru, an old Jianghu, about the various trading markets in the country under fire, and Xiuyi decided to rush to Yanshan City as quickly as possible.

Yanshan Castle is not close to the border of Konoha, but a city in the middle of the road from Konoha Village to the west to the country of Chuan, and then nearly 100 kilometers north.

Xiuyi's position at this time is already the border to the west of Konoha, and the fork in the middle of the road to the west of the country of fire and the rock mountain castle just form a triangle.

In a hurry, I can only go straight to Yanshan City.Although he had to travel through the vast forests of the Land of Fire, he could only take a little risk for the mission.

Xiuyi and Orochimaru quickly disposed of the dry food on their bodies, and rushed to Yanshan City with all their strength.

This decision was based on the information provided to him by Orochimaru. The largest iron trading market in the west of Konoha is in Iwayama Castle, and the other is a city in the northeast near Tanokuni and Yunokuni.

The reason why it was decided that Amaru and his gang would most likely go to Iwayama Castle was because Shuichi considered it the most reasonable choice after empathizing.

First of all, the possibility of Amaru returning to the Land of Wind is very low. He is one of the most wanted criminals there.

The Kingdom of the Wind lacks everything, but there is no shortage of various ores, and they often do export business.Not to mention the high risk of trading in the land of the wind, the profit will be greatly reduced.

The domestic situation of other small countries is chaotic, and there are few sound trading markets, and the possibility of black eating black is very high.The distance to the big country outside the Fire Land is too far away, so only Yanshan City is the best choice.

After asking Orochimaru about the transaction price of iron ore, Shuichi concluded that the rebels must have collected a lot of weight.

Because iron ore is raw stone, many processes are required to extract iron, so only a large quantity can be sold at a high price.

Not to mention that Amaru was exhausted from carrying such a heavy ore by himself, his younger brothers probably would not agree, and it would not be worth the loss to cause him trouble secretly.

It is impossible for these wandering ninjas to have the foot strength of Xiuyi and Orochimaru, and it is impossible for them to venture into the roadless forest, so in the best case in theory, Xiuyi can even stop them before they enter Rock Mountain City.

Xiuyi believed in his own judgment, so he took a shortcut and rushed to Yanshan City without stopping.

Once Amaru and the others are asked to sell the iron ore, it is very likely that the team will disband after the spoils are divided, and it will be almost impossible to catch them all at that time.

Thanks to the fact that the Ninja World War has only ended for three years, all major ninja villages are currently resting and recuperating. Xiuyi encountered no accidents along the way and arrived at Rock Mountain City in the early hours of the morning.

Yanshan City is a city backed by a river, and the city walls still maintain the standard Warring States style.

Although it has entered the era of ninjas, thanks to the prosperous commercial trade in the Land of Fire, Yanshan City has been developing well for many years, and the maintenance of the city walls is very good. There are no traces of the ancient city for many years.

Having no time to appreciate the city, Xiuyi went around to the south of the city and came to the main road leading to the city, which is also the direction where the rebels are likely to come.

"Teacher, do you need to rest?" Xiuyi saw that Orochimaru was like a good teammate along the way, and he didn't work hard at all, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Hmph, you don't need to consider my feelings, these are just child's play compared to the war period." Although he has been running back and forth for the past two days, there is no sense of fatigue on Dashemaru's face now.

"Well, although we can still move, I feel that those people will not rush on the road at night, so let's check all the people within 10 kilometers of this road first." Now that he believed that his decision was correct, Then assume that the other party has not arrived, and make arrangements in this way.

Shuichi and Orochimaru walked to the woods on both sides of the road, and then headed south at the same speed.

The situation is normal. At this late night, no one is wandering on the road, including on both sides.

Feeling that the ten kilometers of exploration had yielded nothing, Shuichi and Orochimaru took a rest in the nearby woods.

At sunrise the next day, Xiuyi, who had readjusted, decided to explore the south of the road again.

This time, he and Orochimaru did not use Chakra, but walked slowly in the middle of the street like ordinary people.

"Rustle, rustle..." "Huh?" After walking for almost an hour, the sun had come out, and Xiuyi heard a lot of voices not far ahead.

After thinking for a while, Shuichi and Orochimaru took off their forehead protectors, and put them in their bags.

Orochimaru turned into an ordinary person because he was wearing a Jonin vest, in order not to reveal the information, and the two pretended to be pedestrians on the road.

Not long after, a large group of people appeared on the road in front of Xiuyi. Looking from the beginning to the end, the entire line was almost 50 meters long.

This team is like a large caravan. There are several soldiers with long guns at intervals. The wooden boards of the trucks in front of the team are all kinds of goods wrapped in white cloth.

Some wagons were pushed by people, and some were pulled by oxen.In the middle of the line, Xiuyi saw a cart full of fruits and vegetables, because the owner did not cover it with a cloth.

After observing the side of the road for a while, Xiuyi ran to catch up with the uncle who was pulling vegetables and fruits.He pulled the whole car forward alone in front of the car, with a white rope tied around his head, as if to prevent the sweat on the top of his head from flowing into his eyes.

"Hello, Uncle! Are you going to Yanshan City for trade?" Xiuyi looked harmless to humans and animals, and looked at him with curiosity in his big eyes.

"Yes! If you want to hurry, kid, go. I don't have much strength to talk to you. There is still a long way to go to Yanshan City." The uncle looked a little impatient.

"It's like this. I saw that your peaches are very good! My uncle and I really have to go on the road today, so I want to buy 1 catty from you to eat on the road. How about it? Let me give you the money first , and then I select a few rows directly?"
