Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 40 The Rocky Mountains
The north bank of Shenwubi Canyon is the most luxuriant forest in the land of grass, Shenwu forest, where towering giant trees grow, and these giant trees form a windbreak, blocking the rock rain from the land of earth.

At the edge of the Kanna forest, Lan Zheng and Zhu Jian stood on the canopy of the tree, looking at the towering giant rock mountains in the distance.

Mountains up to several thousand meters separate the Kingdom of Earth from other small countries, and giant rock mountains surround the Kingdom of Earth, forming a natural barrier.

Relying on the barriers bestowed by the gods, the people of the Land of Earth thrive. Although their soil is relatively poor, they have fewer robbers and bandits than other countries.

The will of the sky has become slightly cooler, and on the khaki giant rock mountains, jujube trees full of red dates can be seen from time to time.

Standing on the edge of the forest, Lan could see some civilians on the border of the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass hard at picking ripe dates.

Because the country of the land is powerful, and the politics of the country of grass is biased towards the country of the land, therefore, only a few ashigaru and samurai are patrolling on this border.

Compared with the weak frontier forces in the Land of Grass, the power in the Land of Earth is much stronger.

According to information obtained from the black market, there are at least 1 armored soldiers and thousands of patrolling ninjas near the Giant Rock Mountain Range.

Although there are a large number of them, compared to their long and narrow borders, this number of people is still not enough.

"Hu-hu-"

When Lan was observing the situation of the giant rock mountain range, the north wind picked up again, and the huge wind swept the gravel on the mountain range like raindrops towards the country of grass.

Countless sharp and round stones crazily hit the ground of the Kingdom of Grass.

No wonder the northern part of the Shenwu Forest was so desolate. Lan held an iron umbrella that could resist the rain of rocks and looked at the gravel plain in front of him.

After carefully observing the road conditions, he turned to Zhujian and asked, "Should we cross the giant rock mountain range and find a carriage from the country of earth to the kingdom of ghosts, or go to the kingdom of ghosts along the outside of the giant rock mountain range?"

"Let's cross the giant rock mountain range." Hashirama said calmly.

"Hmm..." Lan murmured for a while, then glanced at Nanako who was holding an iron umbrella to block the rocks for Xianglin, nodded after a moment of silence, and said, "That's all right, then let's climb over the giant rock mountain range as soon as possible, and wait until we reach the top of the mountain." After passing this mountain, the damn rain of rocks will be gone, and then I will find a small town to replenish some necessary supplies, and then follow the caravan to the kingdom of ghosts."

"Okay." Hashirama nodded.

"I have no problem with Xianglin." Nanako wiped off the dust from Xianglin's face, then raised her head and looked at Lan quietly.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lan led the crowd to the giant rock mountains in the distance.

At the same time, in the jujube growing area on the south side of the Giant Rock Mountain Range, the civilians of the Country of Grass are wearing iron hats and carrying bamboo baskets to pick ruddy jujubes.

The broken stones flying down from the mountain hit the iron hat, making the iron hat jingle.

Taro Ono, a commoner in the Country of Grass who picked half a box of jujubes, was squatting in a special shelter like everyone else, looking at the giant rock wasteland below the mountain as usual.

Looking at the wasteland that was hit by stones and raised smoke and dust, the six of them couldn't help chatting.

Taro Ono sat on a yellow stone, listening to the people in his village chatting about some anecdotes about the Country of Grass. The so-called anecdotes are actually stories about bad streets. What is the name of the Country of Grass? some type of.

Although others listened with gusto, Taro Ono didn't think it was interesting. He looked at the smoke and dust rising from the wasteland, looked up at the rock rain in the sky, sighed, picked up the jujube and bit it hard.

This is early enough to buy a big price. One basket can be exchanged for more than ten taels of money. Although picking it is a little dangerous, but its price is high. As long as he can pick a few more baskets, he will have the money to marry a wife. .

Holding the bamboo basket in his arms, Taro Ono couldn't help but smile. When he has money, he will marry Reiko Ono from the village next door.

Just as he was fantasizing about a happy life in the future, the giant rock mountains began to shake.

Sensing the shaking, the date picker, who was still squatting under the stone, put on his iron hat and ran outside.

Seeing this, Onomura was about to get up, and just as he got up, the boulder that was still protecting them from being attacked by broken stones loosened.

Before Onomura ran out with the others, the huge boulder buried the people who had been hiding under it with gravel and fine soil.

The bloody boulder rolled down quickly, and as the boulder rolled, the dust in the air covered the blood stains on it.

Seeing that the boulder was about to roll to the wilderness, Lan, Zhujian and the others got out from the smoke and dust.

Before Lan could get a breath of fresh air, Lan saw a boulder the size of a house roll down.

Seeing this, Lan hurriedly cast Chidori in a seal, and rushed up a certain distance with his right hand braving thunder. After hitting Chidori on the boulder, the boulder was blown to pieces by the raging thunder attribute chakra.

The shattered boulder turned into countless small stones. Hashirama and Nanako used iron umbrellas to block the stones, then picked up Chakra and ran to Lan's place quickly.

Standing at the bottom of the sloping mountain, Lan glanced at her back with regret in her heart. The wasteland behind seemed to be bombarded, with deep pits and smoke everywhere.

After looking behind him for a while, Lan put away the iron umbrella and said, "Okay, the rocky rain won't hit here, let's start climbing the mountain now."

"Let's go." Hashirama responded, and then lifted up Chakra and jumped on the steep rock.

When Lan saw this, he wanted to follow. When Lan was moving Chakra, Nanako put her arms around Xianglin with a embarrassed face and said, "Mr. Lan, please wait a moment."

Wen Yanlan stopped her body, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nanako put her arms around Xianglin, and said embarrassedly: "Can you bring Xianglin, my rock climbing skills can only take me up alone."

"That's it, yes, then let me go up with the incense." Lan nodded, and when he was about to carry the incense, he stopped and looked at Nanako and said, "Can you really go up? If you can't Don’t force yourself to go.”

Nanako gritted her teeth and shook her head, and said, "No problem, with my current control over Chakra, it's no problem to take me up alone."

"That's fine." Seeing Nanako like this, Lan smiled at the shy Xianglin, put her on his back, picked up Chakra and ran quickly on the rocks.

After several tens of meters on Arashi, Nanako picked up her not so much chakra and jumped up on the rock.

After flying up for about a thousand meters, the mountain became steeper. It was still slope-like before, but it has become almost vertical here.

Lan carried Xianglin on his back and followed Nanako. He knew Nanako's strength. Although she belonged to the Uzumaki clan, her strength was too weak. She only had the strength of ninja. He was afraid that Nanako would lose strength due to too much chakra consumption during rock climbing.

Xiang Lin's hair was flying around on Lan's back, and she smelled the faint smell of ointment on Lan's body and the fragrance of Lan's hair.

Just when she wanted to change her posture and climb more comfortably, Nanako on top of her head suddenly fell straight down.

Seeing this, Xianglin shouted nervously: "Mom—"

Before he finished shouting, a giant tree stretched out from the rock to catch Nanako.

Lan stepped on the smooth cliff and jumped onto the giant log. He raised his hand and summoned more than a dozen giant logs to form a wooden raft the size of a house. After that, Lan put down the fragrant phosphorus on his back.

After Xianglin jumped off, she ran to Nanako worriedly, and said concernedly: "Mom, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the chakra is a little too much." Nanako sat on the wooden raft and touched Kaorin's head.

At this moment, Hashirama also jumped down, looked at Lan and Nanako and asked, "What happened?"

Lan looked at Nanako and replied to Hashirama: "Her chakra is exhausted, let's rest here for a while."

Hearing this, Zhu Jian glanced at Lan, nodded and said, "Okay, you and Nanako should rest first, and I will maintain Mu Dun."

Saying that, Hashirama poured Chakra into the raft.

The moment Hashirama Chakra was injected, Lan took out his own Chakra and took out the Bingliang Pill and handed it to Nanako.

"This is Bingliang Pill, which can restore some chakra. We will be on our way in half an hour."

After receiving the Bingliang Pill, Nanako nodded, and after swallowing the Bingliang Pill, she began to recover her chakra.

The noon sun is very hot, and it is gradually autumn, and the sun is very uncomfortable.

Although the sun was venomous, the north wind was much weaker, and the weak wind was not enough to fly away the stones. After avoiding the sudden earthquake, the civilians picking jujubes came to pick jujubes with bamboo cages on their backs.

Through the gap between the wooden rafts, Lan quietly sat in the shade and looked at the small figures below, looking at their busy figures, Lan couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude.

Just when Lan was rejoicing, Nanako, who had fully recovered her chakra, stood up and said, "Okay, my chakra has fully recovered."

Hearing this, Lan stood up and said, "Then let's go on."

As he said that, Lan casually threw Xianglin on his back, and then ran up the cliff with Nanako.

When Lan ran about ten meters, Hashirama slowly put away the chakra. As soon as the chakra was put away, the wooden raft under his feet withered and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the moment when the raft shattered, Hashirama lifted Chakra heavily and stepped on the raft, jumped to Lan's side, and ran wildly with Lan.

At the same time, the raft that was stepped on by Zhuoma turned into sawdust and fell down.

The wind was blowing gently, Lan's hair fluttered in the wind, and the long blue hair mischievously patted Xiang Lin's cheek.

A little tired, Xianglin endured the itch on his face and quietly crawled on Lan's back.

The four of them ran towards the top of the mountain at high speed like this. The vigilant ashigaru and the ninja were sticking to the specially excavated mountain road in such bad weather. There is no wilderness.
