Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 217 Princess of Bear Kingdom

crunch~
The small window next to the carriage was opened a little, and a very delicate girl showed a very sweet smile.

"Master Ninja~"

The girl looked around and finally saw a handsome figure on horseback at the end of the carriage.

The man's face was fair, his long jet-black hair was loosely scattered behind his back, and the green combat uniform shone strangely under the soft morning sun.

But the only thing that made the girl regretful was that the man raised his eyes and looked at her with a gloomy expression.

Zhou Lai looked puzzled, and looked at the girl in front of him who was waving her hand in a strange way.

The third generation did not give himself an answer last night, and even after he asked that sentence, the other party fell into a long silence, as if he was thinking or recalling
But these are not the issues that Zhou Lai should think about anymore. I have reminded the third generation that I have fulfilled my responsibilities, which may be a little redundant, because there is still some time before the Chunin exam.

But who can know whether this world is still the original Hokage world? What if Danzo really succeeds? !
Zhou Lai tightened his grip on the horse's back and let the horse speed up towards the girl's position.

"Is there something wrong with the princess?"

Zhou Lai tried his best to face the girl in front of him with a smile. This is the entrustment task he just received today to escort the princess of the Xiong Kingdom back to the Xiong Kingdom.

"When is your name~ My name is Xiong Chuan Ruoruo. You can call me Ruoruo."

"Okay, Princess Ruoruo. You can call me Haifeng."

Zhou Lai glanced at the girl in front of him with some surprise. Although her surname was relatively strong, she was an extremely delicate girl.

Zhou Lai blinked his eyes and waited for the other party's next request.

Zhou Lai had not received many such escort commissions before, and it could even be said that there were very few, because Anbu generally did not touch such tasks, and they were all entrusted to the village ninjas on the bright side.

So Zhou Lai's experience in this area is not very experienced.Attitudes toward employers are also somewhat ambiguous.

But out of politeness, Zhou Lai would usually satisfy the employer's requirements in all aspects, not to mention that the other party was a princess, even though that country was not worth mentioning in front of Konoha.

To Zhou Lai's surprise, the other party also fell into silence after that, just staring at Zhou Lai and blinking his eyes non-stop.

Zhou Lai suddenly realized something, smiled at the girl in front of him, and turned to leave.He still has a lot of things to think about, and he doesn't particularly want to waste time chatting with girls.

Seeing that Zhou Lai was about to leave, the girl's eyes flashed a little hurriedly, and she hurriedly said,

"Hailwind, where are we going next!"

A hint of helplessness flashed through Zhou Lai's mind, but his face remained calm as usual. The head guard next to Chao nodded and said,
"If you ask the princess these questions, you can ask Mr. Langshi. My duty is to protect your safety, the princess. You don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Lai leaned forward slightly, and after politely saluting, he put his horse on his horse and fell behind the team.

The team was unimpeded on the flat official road, and all the accompanying warriors followed around the carriage, tightly surrounding Her Royal Highness the Princess in the middle.

In fact, this distance is completely unnecessary to worry about last week. This is the official road not long after leaving Konoha Village. Generally, wandering thieves, even wandering ninjas dare not approach, and those who approach boldly are all killed by Konoha The dark side was cleaned up.

Only those enemy ninjas with plans will hide in the surrounding forests, use special means to avoid the cleanup plan of the Anbu personnel, and wait for the appearance of the mission target.

So during this period of time, judging by the speed of the team, it was at least two days' journey, and there was no need to worry about the safety of the people in the team for weeks.

In fact, the possibility of this team being hijacked is not high at all. This is also an easy task specially selected by Anbu for Zhou Lai. Under normal circumstances, only those ninjas who are extremely vicious and desperate will choose it.

Because the logo of the Kingdom of Bears was printed on the top of the carriage, villains with strongholds would not rob such convoys with political backgrounds. Although the Kingdom of Bears was small, it was a country after all, and it was an existence that ordinary rogues could not provoke.Because of the consequences they cannot afford.

The task is easy, but the task level and commission will naturally not be too high.This task is only at the C-level level, and the entrustment fee is not enough for a fraction of his usual A-level tasks.

But Zhou Lai enjoyed the process very much, and even felt a sense of comfort in traveling, but it was a pity that Xiyan didn't go with him.

However, Zhou Lai's face gradually became serious when he thought of his actions after the task was completed.
"I hope you can complete it successfully!"

His mission this time is actually a disguise. If there is a situation on the Mist Ninja side, the Mist Ninja executives will definitely guess that Konoha will take action in the near future, so they will pay special attention to this aspect.

But the situation over there was urgent, and it was impossible for Konoha to delay until Kirinin’s vigilance disappeared. At that time, it was estimated that no clues could be found, so three teams were sent to investigate the matter.

The first one was the temporary team formed by Anbu, who set off overnight last night, with a total of eight people.

Three jounin and five special jounin.

It can be seen how much the captain of the Anbu Special Forces attaches great importance to this matter.

The other is an unknown root team hidden in the dark. As for the number and even the level of strength, it is completely unknown to Zhou Lai.Directly over the three generations of Hokage and be led by Danzo.

The third team is Zhou Lai who is currently escorting the team of the Princess of the Bear Country.Under the direct order of the Third Hokage, he went to Wunin Village to investigate alone, and did not directly contact the Anbu team horizontally.

According to Captain Anbu's information, Konoha only sent a team of eight to Kirinin, which belongs to Konoha's high-level confidential information.

The remaining two teams are only known to two people in Konoha.It belongs to Konoha's top-secret information!
And one of them is not aware of the existence of the third team.

The marching speed of the team was not slow, but the team stopped and stopped, and only reached the middle of the southeast position of the Land of Fire in the evening of the third day.

It is far away from the capital of the country of bears.

"Sir, shall we rest here tonight?"

The samurai leader Lang Shi, who was in charge of protecting the princess of the Bear Kingdom, rode his horse to Zhou Lai and asked softly.There is a trace of respect in the eyes.

Although the young man in front of him does not have such a burly figure and a majestic body.But this was something he would come to ask every day when he was preparing to rest.

Knowing that the other party is a ninja is one aspect, but more importantly, he can always feel a faint sense of oppression from this man.

After so many years of samurai career, he naturally knew the source of this feeling, knowing that the other party would definitely not be as weak and weak as a scholar on the surface.
