Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 95 Blizzard
There are a lot of rebellious ninjas in the country of the river. In this short one-week trip, Lan has seen no less than three groups of rebellious ninja organizations. The things these rebel ninja organizations do are similar, nothing more than robbing caravans and killing civilians.

In this river country, it is full of countless gunpowder smoke, and I don’t know what the river country daimyo thinks. They rarely entrust ninjas to deal with these things, perhaps because the river country is caught in the wind and fire Between the two countries.

The weather was gloomy, and the sleet quietly turned into heavy snow one night six days ago.

The whole world was covered with snow, and there were shining snowflakes everywhere, and the thick snow covered the earth and houses and rivers and swamps.

Walking on the land, you will step on the swamp from time to time. In this season, the number of people who died in the country of rivers can be said to be far more than in other seasons. Of course, not all the people who died were drowned, most of them were starved to death, frozen to death. To die, to be killed.

The food harvested in autumn has long been confiscated by the daimyo. In order to fill their stomachs, the people of the river country have to compete with the winter beasts for food. No one cares about their lives. This world lacks everything, just not There is a shortage of people, this group is dead, and there will be the next group. For the nobles, the dead are just weeding out those stupid guys. Anyway, a new group of people will grow up in the coming year.

There are many forests in the east of the country of rivers. Most of the forests near the villages and cities are trees without bark. The deeper the forest, the fewer trees without bark. The bark can be eaten. In front of you is food.

Walking in the forest half a meter thick in snow, Lan could see several frozen corpses from time to time, including adults, children, men, and women. The corpses all looked different, but There are also many similarities.

They all wore clothes made of rags, and all held handfuls of torn bark in their hands.

For humans, this is a purgatory, but for some carnivorous animals, this is not the case. You can see wild wolves and wild bears biting corpses everywhere. No, there are more than a dozen wild wolves with gray fur behind Lan , They were hungry and greedy and followed Lan.

In their simple brains, anyone who walks in the snow is likely to freeze to death. They like to eat meat, like to eat bloody meat, like to eat the kind of bloody human flesh that screams.

For these guys, Lan felt very disgusted in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He had already dealt with no less than six packs of wolves following him like this. Coercion can't be driven away, the eyes of extremely hungry creatures are only food, no matter whether they are humans or animals, they are all the same, there is not much difference.

Since you can't get rid of it, let them follow. Anyway, it doesn't affect him, just a little irritated.

The snow kept falling, and Lan was moving slowly in the forest. As he was walking, a large pile of snow fell from the top of his head. He hurried forward and raised his head. It turned out that it was two naughty squirrels.

Shaking her head helplessly, Lan walked slowly forward again.

The wolves followed Lan, and as Lan moved forward, wolves left and joined from time to time.

After walking for a while, Lan saw two frozen corpses walking eastward with the bark in their arms. These were two male corpses with two axes stuck in their waists. It seemed that these two people were not with their companions. , if they were together, it would be impossible for the two of them to still have an ax stuck in their bodies.

When Lan was looking for information from the corpses, the pack of wolves behind roared and rushed towards the corpses. Seeing that a pack of wild wolves were about to devour the two corpses, Lan spat out a House-sized Howe Fireball.

The Hao fireball instantly burned the wolves and the frozen corpses into charcoal. A gust of snowflakes blew past, and the charcoal turned into countless fine black ash and spread on the snow. Not long after, the goose feather flying snow all over the sky covered the black Ash covered it up.

Lan stood there and glanced at the covered black ash, shook his head to shake off the snow above his head, then carried Chakra on the snow and continued to walk forward.

According to his current pace, he will be able to reach the border of the Fire Nation in another day.

The snow fell more and more, and the snowflakes in the sky stuck together like feathers falling down one after another, and the visibility became lower and lower. In order to move forward, Lan had to use Chakra to start exploring the way.

The snow is getting thicker and thicker, and branches in the forest are broken by the snow from time to time, and the cold winter is roaring at humans.

No one is willing to go forward in such extremely bad weather, including Lan, who wants to get out of the house to rest very much. Just when he was about to perform the wooden escape, a puff of cooking smoke with the smell of rice puffed into his nose .

Smelling the fragrance, Lan cheered up. It seemed that there was a village nearby, so he hurriedly put his hand on the snow in a mudra. Not long after, all the situation within one kilometer was reported to Lan.

He felt right, there was a village just to the east.

Remembering the location, Lan immediately stood up, picked up Chakra and ran towards the village.

After running for a short time, a large village surrounded by earthen walls appeared in front of Lan. The earthen walls were three meters high, and there were more than a dozen patrolling soldiers in cotton clothes holding crossbows.

At the entrance of the village is a thick wooden door, and outside the wooden door, there are two ninjas with wavy foreheads.

Standing up and walking to the wooden door, the two ninjas took out their kunai and warned before they got too close, "Leave this ninja, this is a village blessed by Kawa Ninja Village."

"Oh~ I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to go in and have a rest, and buy some things by the way." Lan took a step back and said that he didn't have any malicious intentions.

Seeing Lan like this, the two river country ninjas looked at each other, and then the one on the left walked up and said, "You can go in, but it's best not to make trouble, if you make trouble, our river ninja village will never let you go Yes, I swear."

"I'm not those tyrannical ninjas, open the door." Lan replied.

"I hope so." The ninja glanced at Lan, as if wanting to write down his appearance.

After watching for a while, he turned his head and waved to his companion to open the door.

Seeing the gesture, the ninja opened the gate.

Seeing the door opened, Lan immediately nodded and smiled at the ninja, then got up and walked in.

Not long after Lan entered, the ninja walked up to his teammate belatedly and asked, "Hey, why does that guy look familiar, as if he's seen it somewhere before."

"Huh? Does it look familiar? Why don't I think so?" The ninja who opened the door scratched his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't recall anything, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, what do you want so much, as long as he Just don’t make trouble like those rebels, let’s just watch the door obediently, and go to the tavern to drink when the time comes.”

"It makes sense, don't worry about it, let's watch the door." The two returned to their original positions and waited.

At this time, Lan has already entered the village. This large village is very big. How big is it? It is about half the size of a small town. No wonder Kawa Ninja Village sends ninjas.

Stepping on the ground that had just been cleaned not long ago, Lan got up and walked to a hotel. Looking at the hotel with a three-story attic, Lan immediately opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, a gust of hot air rushed towards his face. The warm feeling made Lan feel very comfortable. In the spacious hotel, there were five painted wooden tables, and the wooden tables were full of luxuriously dressed businessmen. Chatting there while drinking rice wine.

Seeing the noisy merchants, Lan frowned and walked to the youth shop.

The shopkeeper saw Lan, and before asking, Lan took out a bank note and said, "Get me a room on the third floor, and I'm getting some dishes to deliver."

The shopkeeper picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, then took out a key and said in response: "This is the key to the room in the northeast corner of the third floor. I will arrange for someone to deliver the food to you later."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lan replied politely, and then Lan got up and walked up the stairs. When he reached the corner, the conversations of those businessmen caught Lan's attention.

"Hey, don't say it, the Uchiha clan of Konoha is really a monster, those red-eyed guys have been aiming at their village since I first entered their village, and it made me panic." A yellow-robed businessman said Na shook his head and sipped the wine.

"Isn't it?" Another red-robed businessman nodded in response, and then said: "Those red-eyed monsters keep their heads up all day, and they are extremely arrogant. The point is, they are also very bad, and they often fine you. Really, I It’s just spitting everywhere, why should they punish me, it really pissed me off.”

"Yeah, that's right, those guys are really hateful, have you heard, there is a rumor from the villagers of Konoha these days." The yellow-robed businessman pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Hey." The yellow-robed businessman smiled contentedly, then took a sip of his wine and said in a low voice: "It's about the rumors about Tsukage Arashi and the Uchiha clan who were making a fuss. The sky is clamoring for that guy to look good."

"Tsukagelan? Is that the unruly guy who scares the nobles? We don't want to hear this, so you should tell the rumors about the Uchiha clan." The crowd urged.

"Okay, okay, in fact, the Uchiha clan is nothing serious, it is just rumored that they plan to kill the Hokage rebels."

"What! Kill Hokage and rebel, the Uchiha clan is crazy, how dare they do this."

"Hey, who knows, those ninjas are always thinking strangely, forget it, let's not talk about it, drink and drink, wait for the snow to stop and go to business."

"That's right, those guys have nothing to do with us, drink."

Those businessmen picked up their wine glasses and chopsticks and started eating and drinking again.

Lan, who was standing at the corner, saw that they were not talking, then turned her head and walked up to the third floor full of thoughts.

The snow is still falling. No one knows when it will stop. If you are lucky, it will stop tomorrow. If you are not lucky, you may have to wait for a while.
