Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 41 Plateau City

On the edge of a cliff somewhere in the Giant Rock Mountain Range, the stones blown by the north wind buzzed, and the weeds full of seeds fluttered with the wind.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the land of land full of ravines and protruding plateaus, Lan immediately understood why they wanted to occupy the land of fire.

Looking at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain, Lan turned his head to the left. There was an outpost thousands of meters away. It was the only passable place between the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Earth. There are passages and stone ladders for farmers to go up the mountain.

Looking from a distance, the not-so-big outpost looks like a point. After squinting for a few times, Lan retracted his gaze, turned his head to Hashirama, looked at Hashirama who was squinting at the map, and said: " Have you found the nearest town?"

"I found it. It's on a plain [-] kilometers to the north. It's the closest border city to here. If the map is correct, we should be able to get there at night." Zhu Jian folded the map and looked away. He threw himself into Lan.

Seeing this, Lan nodded and said, "Then let's go somewhere, and then find a caravan or horse team going to the ghost country."

"Okay, then let's go now." Hashirama responded, then turned around and said to the lovely Xianglin with squinted eyes and a smile: "Xianglin, let me carry you down the mountain."

"No." Xianglin pursed her lips and rejected Hashirama.

Hearing Xianglin's refusal, Hashirama immediately became depressed.

Seeing Hashirama's downcast look, Nanako who was standing beside Xianglin covered her mouth and said with a smile: "No, the way down the mountain is not too steep, I just carry her on my back."

Hearing this, Lan looked at Xianglin and said to Nanako, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Nanako shook her head and looked at the sloping mountain. Nanako squatted down and let Xianglin climb on her back. After holding Xianglin firmly, she looked at Lan and said, "Let's go, Mr. Lan .”

"Okay, let's go."

He and Hashirama looked at each other, and Arashi and Nanako jumped down.

Time flies, and the sun goes down in a blink of an eye.

Plateau City, the border city of the Land of Earth, is still brightly lit at this moment, and countless jujube pickers carrying bamboo cages lined up outside the city excitedly and nervously with their fruits of the day.

There are caravans guarding jujubes everywhere in the city. These caravans from various countries have traveled to the Land of Earth for their own interests, just to collect such a few dates, and to bring them back and exchange them for silver with the fragrance of ink. ticket.

At this time, businessmen will talk to civilians who they usually don't look straight at.

Huang Tu, the commander of the ninja team who maintains the law and order of Gaoyuan City, is sitting alone on the city wall, listening to the noisy voices below, and looking at the lonely full moon in the sky. Before he knows it, he thinks of his lovely and mischievous daughter Hei Tu .

Just when he was missing his daughter, the chakra in his body suddenly rioted for a moment, and in an instant, a slight pain pulled him back to reality.

He stood up frowning, staring into the distance, he could sense that a Chakra not weaker than him was approaching rapidly in that direction.

The members of the ninja team who were still sitting on the wall to rest saw their captain standing up, so they hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter, captain, what happened?"

"A ninja who is not weaker is leading a middle ninja, a lower ninja, and a ninja with only a little bit of chakra rushing here from the downhill." Huang Tu said calmly.

Hearing this, the Yannin team hurriedly pressed their hands on the ninja bag and asked, "Are we going to catch them?"

"No, we have no reason to arrest them, you stay here, I will negotiate with them."

After Huang Tu finished speaking, he jumped down the city wall, and Huang Tu quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes amidst the exclamation of the civilians.

On the sloping waist of the hillside, Lanzheng, Zhujian and others were running at high speed. It was getting dark, and Lan was a little worried about closing the city gate.

Just as Lan Chong was running wildly in front, chakra fluctuations appeared in the land ahead. Seeing this, Lan hurriedly stopped with everyone.

As soon as it stopped, an earth wall suddenly rose from the land. When it grew to a height of five meters, the earth wall stopped growing.

Standing on the spot, Lan stared at the earth wall vigilantly. Not long after, the somewhat sturdy loess jumped out of the earth wall holding Kunai.

Lan could sense a strong earth attribute chakra on Huangtu. If there is no problem, this Huangtu should be his earth avatar.

And his true self should still be hiding behind the earthen wall at this moment.

Lan frowned and looked at Huang Tu's clone, and asked, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

When Huangtu heard Lan's voice, he controlled the clone and said, "Below is Huangtu from Yanyin Village, who was ordered to maintain the security of Gaoyuan City. I wonder what you are planning to do in Gaoyuan City?"

The soil clone bypassed Lan and cast his gaze on Hashirama, and he sensed a strong chakra from Hashirama.

Zhu Jian saw that the soil avatar cast his eyes on him, so he said, "We are here to replenish supplies and find caravans in Plateau City."

Hearing this, Huang Tu frowned, and after releasing the soil avatar and the earth wall, he came out and stood under a jujube tree and said, "You are the ninjas of that country."

"..." Lan Huan stood beside Nanako with his arms folded. He didn't intend to pay attention to Huang Tu, and he didn't ask himself anyway.

Seeing Lan like this, Zhuma smiled and walked forward and replied, "We are wandering ninjas from the Land of Fire, can you let us go there?"

Huangtu frowned, looked at Zhu Jian and Lan carefully, and after confirming that they were not rebellious, he nodded and said: "Yes, the land of earth welcomes all people who do not make trouble, I hope you will not become the land of earth Disgusting people."

After speaking, Huang Tu turned and left.

Seeing that Huangtu left so easily, Lan couldn't help but said, "He shouldn't have any conspiracy."

Hearing Lan's words, Zhujian couldn't help laughing and said: "You think too much, these big countries are different from those small countries, only those small countries will always monitor anyone who goes to their country, in the five big countries , As long as you are not here to make trouble, they will ignore you."

"That's it." Lan Ruo nodded with some understanding, and then followed Zhujian Xiaobu to the gate of the city.

Looking at the long queue, Lan couldn't help but want to jump in from the city wall. Before Lan could say anything, Huang Tu, who had left before, came out from the side.

He looked at Hashirama and said, "Come with me, ninjas have special passages."

"Lead the way." Zhujian said, and then led Lan to follow Huangtu.

After walking a certain distance to the west, a city gate guarded by warriors appeared in front of Lan. Huangtu saw the gate, left a sentence to wait for a while, and then walked over to negotiate with the warriors.

Without saying a word, the samurai opened the city gate.

At this time, Huang Tu stood at the city gate and waved towards Lan.

Seeing this, Lan, Zhujian and the others got up and walked over. After stepping on the bluestone slabs and passing through the city gate, the bustling plateau city interior appeared before Lan's eyes.

Countless merchants stood on both sides of the street frantically soliciting business, and the caravan was collecting the special products of the Land of Earth, shouting and selling in an endless stream.

After looking at the bustling scene in front of him blankly, Huangtu turned his head and said to Lan and Zhujian: "During this period of every year, Gaoyuan City welcomes countless caravans and countless homeless people looking for work just like other border cities. Ninja, I hope you will abide by the political rules of the Land of Earth, don't kill people, don't rob."

"We are not robbers." Lan said in a deep voice.

Hearing Lan's deep voice, Huang Tu looked up at Lan, and said, "Many wandering ninjas caught by us will say this before entering our country. I know it is not easy for you to cross the giant rock mountains. I hope you will not be caught. We catch or want."

After speaking, Huang Tu turned and left.

Glancing at Huangtu's back, Lan picked up his mood and turned to Nanako who was holding Xianglin's hand and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, Xianglin is sleepy."

Nanako nodded when she heard the words, and said apologetically, "I have caused you trouble."

"It's okay." Lan shook his head lightly, and then took Nanako to find the dormitory.

Walking on the noisy street, Xiang Lin, who was still a little sleepy, was so noisy that he lost sleep.

After slapping his face vigorously, Kaorin took Nanako's hand and continued walking with her.

After walking for a short time, the four of them found a pretty good dormitory.

After looking at the decoration for a few times, Lan pushed open the door and walked in. When he opened the door, three wooden stools and a counter greeted his eyes.

Standing behind the counter was a woman with long hair. Seeing Lan coming in, the woman bowed and said, "Welcome everyone, are you planning to stay?"

"Well, accommodation, three rooms." Lan took out a bank note and put it on Lan's counter.

When the woman saw the banknote, her smile became even brighter. She collected a hundred taels of banknote and handed the rest of the banknote to Lan.

After Lan received the silver ticket, the woman asked respectfully, "I don't know what else you want."

Hashirama, who was planning to go straight upstairs, heard the woman's question, so he stopped and said, "Bring me a bottle of good sake."

"Okay, I'll send someone to bring you up when you go up." The woman smiled.

Seeing that Hashirama ordered sake, Lan felt a little hungry. After glancing at Kaorin who had become energetic, Lan took out another bank note and said, "Then let's have another table of food."

After handing the bank note to the woman, Lan turned around and said to Nanako and the others: "You guys go upstairs and rest first."

"Okay." Everyone responded, and then walked up the stairs next to the counter.

When they all went upstairs, Lan took out another bank note and said, "Can I ask you some news?"

Seeing Lan like this, the woman smiled and said, "Of course, I don't know what news you want to know."

"Do you know that there is a caravan or horse team that will go to the Kingdom of Ghosts tomorrow?" Lan asked.

"The kingdom of ghosts." The woman frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't know, but you can give me a night, and I will let my people go to inquire."

"Thank you so much."

Lan nodded, handed the silver ticket to the woman, then turned and went upstairs.
