People are in Konoha, panicking

Chapter 117 Knowing

Konoha, the entrance and exit.

Several people came here on horseback. Among these people, the leader was a woman in her 20s who was dressed luxuriously.

The woman looked quite pretty, but at this moment her face was full of fatigue and anxiety, and her hair was a little messy because of the horse riding.

The woman came to the Konoha entrance and saw the Uchiha tribe wearing the Uchiha clan emblem who was on duty at the Konoha entrance.

Can't help trotting over, said anxiously.

"My lord, I am from the Taihe Chamber of Commerce. I have something to ask to see the patriarch Fuyue!"

"Stop, don't come near!"

Seeing someone running towards him, the Uchiha people on duty were instinctively on guard.

After opening Sharingan and finding that the woman running towards her had no chakra fluctuations, she put down her guard.

Among several Uchiha people, a middle-aged woman walked out.

His name is Uchiha Asami, and he is the captain of these Uchiha people on duty today.

"Are you Miss Huizi?"

Uchiha Asami recognized the woman.

Taihe Huizi, the daughter of Taihe Yangshi, the president of the Taihe Chamber of Commerce, is quite business-minded, and has been to Konoha several times with the caravan of the Taihe Chamber of Commerce.

Because of the relationship between the Taihe Chamber of Commerce and the Uchiha family, she had met Taihe Keiko.

"Yes, I am Taihe Huizi, my lord, please let me meet the patriarch Fuyue!"

Seeing that someone recognized him, Taihe Huizi breathed a sigh of relief, and then became anxious again.

"What happened?"

Uchiha Asami asked softly.

"Not long ago, I received news from the caravan that the caravan encountered robbers. The six Uchiha family ninjas in charge of the guards were killed, and my father Taihe Hiroshi was also kidnapped."

After Taihe Huizi finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't help but gasped for several breaths, and his breathing was a little difficult.

"The six Uchihas who were in charge of the guards were killed, and the president of the Taihe Chamber of Commerce was also kidnapped?"

Uchiha Asami's face changed slightly, knowing the seriousness of the matter, she said immediately.

"I'll take you to see the patriarch!"

After a while, Taihe Keiko appeared in a living room of the Uchiha family for entertaining distinguished guests.

Uchiha Fugaku and the three elders soon appeared in the living room.

"Huizi, tell me in detail what you know."

The second elder, Uchiha Mori, looked slightly serious, and said to Taihe Keiko.

He not only knows Taihe Huizi, but also has a good relationship with Taihe Yangshi, Taihe Huizi and his daughter.

"Last night, we received a letter from a carrier pigeon from the caravan. The letter said that the caravan encountered robbers. The six Uchiha people who were in charge of the escort were killed, and my father was also kidnapped."

"The other party asks for a ransom of [-] million, and it must be sent to a place called Shangtian Town in Tian Zhiguo within five days. However, the time is too short, and such a large amount of cash cannot be collected in a short period of time..."

Taihe Huizi said with anxiety on his face.

As the largest chamber of commerce in Fireland, Taihe Chamber of Commerce naturally has a lot of wealth.

However, most of these finances have been purchased as fixed assets such as shops and houses, and even if they are sold, transactions cannot be concluded in a short period of time.

Realizing that within five days, no, now there are less than four days left, and she can't get so much money together, so she can only rush to Konoha overnight to seek help from the Uchiha family.

I hope the Uchiha family can look at the friendship with the Taihe Chamber of Commerce and help rescue her father Taihe Hiroshi.

"Rampant, really rampant!"

After listening to Taihe Keiko's words, Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna's expression turned ugly.

Because she was so angry, her eyebrows were almost raised.

He killed six members of the Uchiha family, including two Jonin, and even hijacked the president of the chamber of commerce and demanded a high ransom.

What this group of robbers did was to blatantly provoke the Uchiha family.

"Miss Huizi, where was the caravan attacked?"

Fugaku Uchiha also showed anger on his face, he suppressed his anger and asked.

"Central part of Tianzhi Country, near Cyanwood Mountain... Patriarch Fuyue, please save my father."

Said, Taihe Huizi stood up, bowed deeply to Uchiha Fugaku, and asked.

"Miss Keiko, don't worry, with the friendship between the Uchiha family and the Taihe Chamber of Commerce, we will definitely help."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes showed killing intent.

"Moreover, the other party killed six members of the Uchiha family, and the Uchiha family will never let them go."

"thanks, thanks……"

Taihe Huizi thanked again and again, and couldn't help bowing continuously.

"Huizi, how many people are there in total?"

The second elder Uchiha thought for a while and asked.

"There are a total of more than ten people. According to the news, some of them are even stronger than the leading ninja of the Uchiha family."

"Elite Joinin!"

The third elder, Uchiha Si, had a cold light in his eyes.

The two Jnin who lead the team are not only Jnin but also not ordinary even among Jnin. If they are stronger than them, there must be an elite Jnin among the ten people.

"Elite Junin?"

A strange light flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, and he looked at Taihe Keiko.

"Miss Huizi, I have asked someone to arrange a place for you. You go down and rest first, and we will send rescue as soon as possible!"

"Thank you..."

After Taihe Huizi bowed to thank again, he left with a servant of the Uchiha family.

Taihe Huizi left, leaving only Uchiha Fugaku and the three elders in the living room.

"This matter is strange!"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the three elders and said in a deep voice.

"There is indeed something strange."

Second Elder Uchiha Mori nodded.

Although wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas will appear among ordinary robbers, elite jonin rarely appear.

Elite jōnin, no matter which ninja village they are in, are absolute elites. Even if such a person becomes a rebellious ninja, he will never join the robbers.

Because joining the robber team, the target of action with other robbers is too big, and it is easy to expose his whereabouts, which will lead to the pursuit and killing of the original village.

Moreover, they have many more secret ways to make money, such as becoming a bodyguard of a certain rich man, or receiving rewards in the underground black market.

"Could it be a ninja from a small ninja village pretending to be?"

The third elder Uchiha doubted.

Some ninja villages accept missions in the open, and earn commissions through missions.

But secretly, they would pretend to be robbers and rob passing caravans.

He suspected that the Taihe Chamber of Commerce encountered such a group of robbers.

"possible."

Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna said.

Although it is not uncommon for ninja villages like the Five Great Ninja Villages to have elite jōnin, it is absolutely rare for elite jōnin to appear among robbers.

He also felt that there was a high possibility that these robbers were pretending to be some Ninja Village.

"It is indeed possible."

Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment, raised his head and said.

"However, I think there is a bigger possibility, that is, these people are pretended by people from Shimura Danzo, and the purpose is to lure me out of Konoha!"
