I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 80 080. What can a ninja protect?
After seeing the bandits blocking the way, the down-and-out warrior rushed out first, shouting his name loudly.

But the leader of the bandits didn't pay attention to the samurai, and shot a kunai directly. After being stabbed by the kunai, several down-and-out warriors frowned, and then retreated to the vicinity of the convoy, their faces full of vigilance.

Naruto glanced at the bandits in the distance, and then at the wretched samurai winking, with a smile on his lips.

During the half month since he went out, he encountered many bandits. He thought that the law and order in the Land of Fire was only at the stage of simple folk customs, but he did not expect that an industrial chain had already been formed.

The caravan guards and the bandits behind are obviously in the same group, so this road is full of bandits.

Those who can reach the ninja village and can afford the mission rewards will naturally invite ninjas to suppress bandits, but places that cannot afford the money can only silently accept the ravages of bandits, and cannot effectively resist.

The failure of the actions of the downcast samurai and the bandits was because the addition of foreign ninjas broke the local rules.

After thinking this through, Naruto casually picked up a stone from the ground, and condensed a gust of wind, which directly knocked the bandit leader unconscious, deterring the bandits who were planning to attack from behind.

After groping around the bandit's headache, Naruto found a piece of ninja forehead protection.

After asking the rest of the caravan to tie up the bandits, Naruto said to the owner of the caravan, "They are not dead, so send them to the public security station in the nearest town. They should know how to deal with them."

After witnessing Naruto's prowess, the team owner became more respectful. He has never seen such a powerful ninja.

Naruto didn't have any interest in the convoy's boss's compliment, but he still accepted the boss's kindness, enjoyed the treatment of a one-man carriage, and walked at the forefront of the convoy.

"Fourth generation, it seems that the law and order in the country of fire is very good, and there is no need for ninjas to sit in the town."

Namikaze Minato said with a bit of embarrassment: "Ninjas are mercenaries. These people can't afford to hire ninjas, and naturally ninjas won't protect them, but there are still many ninjas who will do what is right."

Hearing this, Naruto smiled and said nothing more.

Ninjas are indeed mercenaries. If they have no money, they will not serve the people of the Fire Nation. At most, they will help each other when they see injustice, and they cannot solve the real problems.

Even because ninja villages are all hired groups, defected ninjas will become a local scourge.

After all, as far as the strength of ninja is concerned, even the most basic ninja can occupy the mountain as king and harm the nearby people.

The most bizarre thing is that these mercenary groups have contracted the military power of various countries, and the daimyo cannot interfere too much.

After advancing for about half a day, the convoy stopped again, this time not because of bandits and wandering ninjas, but because of a passing Fire Nation nobleman.

According to the regulations, when the nobles of the Fire Nation pass by, the civilians must not only give way, but also bow their heads in salute.

Soon, as the nobles of the Fire Nation opened the curtains, the passengers and team owners all bowed their heads and saluted, even the down-and-out warriors, their postures were more standard than ordinary passengers.

And as a noble from the Fire Nation, he can naturally afford to hire ninjas as guards to protect his safety.

Naruto sitting in the carriage didn't bow his head, and the ninjas didn't notice Naruto in the carriage, and passed by Naruto.

Watching the nobles of the Land of Fire leave, Naruto said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that there are still people in the Land of Fire who can hire ninjas. It seems that we ninjas still have to protect these big shots."

Namikaze Minato frowned, and gradually began to agree with Kyuubi's words.

Naruto's eccentric character is not inherited from him and Kushina, but it is exactly the same as Kyuubi. It is far more difficult for him to correct Naruto's thinking than he imagined.

After more than ten minutes, the convoy went back on the road, but was forced to stop soon.

On the road ahead, the sedan chair on which the nobles of the Fire Nation had been sitting was split in two, and blood flowed out along the gap. In front of and behind the sedan chair, there were ninja guards who died on the spot.

They had stunned expressions on their faces, obviously they were very surprised by the death of their companions.

What made the convoy members even more terrified was that the assassin who attacked the nobles of the Fire Nation did not leave, but sat on a tree trunk, holding a large knife with a notch in his hand, and stared at the convoy tightly.

Black hair, jagged shark teeth, and a beheading knife in his hand.

It reminded Naruto of Momochi Zabuzhan, but Zabuzhan should be following the boy Bai, and the clothes he should wear should not be the characteristic fire cloud suit of Akatsuki Organization.

At this time, Namikaze Minato reminded: "Naruto, the other party is Loquat Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

After being reminded by Namikaze Minato, Naruto remembered the identity of the other party, a Kirigakure Murakami Shinobi who escaped from the feet of Matt Dai by chance.

I was so unlucky that I ran into Xiao's members when I took a guard mission casually.

While thinking, Loquat Shizang disappeared in place, and the beheading sword locked on Naruto who came out to watch the excitement. After being dodged by Naruto, the carriage was also cut off in its entirety.

With a flash of his eyes, Naruto pulled out the samurai sword at his waist, and the wind attribute chakra was attached to the blade.

Immediately afterwards, a breath of sickle weasel came out directly, and slashed straight at loquat ten Zang. Loquat ten Zang's face changed slightly, and after catching the breath of sickle weasel, he dodged aside.

"I didn't expect that a strong man like you would accept the task of protecting the nobles."

Naruto directly asked the black question mark, and looked at Pipa Juzang in confusion. The other party didn't come for his identity as Renzhuriki. Was it really just passing by to perform the bounty mission?
After pondering for a moment, Naruto shook his head and said, "I'm traveling, and I'm going to protect the convoy on the way."

Hearing this, Loquat Shizang scratched his head, and said in an apologetic tone: "It seems that I made a mistake. I thought you accepted the task of protecting the nobles, or you were robbing me for the bounty."

After finishing speaking, Loquat Shizang cut off the nobleman's head and prepared to leave this place.

At this moment, Loquat Shizang turned around and said, "By the way, you are so strong. Are you interested in joining my organization? Our organization has good benefits, and it would be a pity not to join."

Naruto shook his head again: "I'm sorry, I have no idea of ​​joining any organization at the moment."

"That's a pity."

After saying this, Pipa Shizang really left this time. He was not sure about Naruto's strength, and he was unwilling to fight against such a strong man. What he pursued was to complete the task.

Seeing Loquat Juzo leave, Naruto's thought of doing it, Loquat Juzo is a powerful elite Jōnin, and it will take a lot of time to deal with him, and it would be bad if Bai Ze, who was recording the screen, found out.

The convoy continued on its way, this time not only the convoy owner, but even the samurai and passengers looked at Naruto completely differently, and the tone of communication with Naruto was full of flattery.

If it weren't for the strong Naruto, they would all have been killed just now.

Naruto was not interested in these people's compliments. He came to the sealed space and looked at Minato Namikaze: "My lord, it seems that ninjas can't protect the nobles of the land of fire. What can ninjas protect?"
