I have a role in the heavens

As time passed, Ningji and his caravan gradually came to the border area between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind. The surrounding environment was completely different from the hinterland of the Country of Fire.

Forests and rivers can be seen everywhere in the Fire Country, and there are farmlands full of bankers everywhere. The citizens are basically pretty rosy and strong. It seems that life is relatively easy. The bustling towns are full of people. It is full of lively scenes with people coming and going, a strong atmosphere of life, prosperous business, and full of laughter and laughter.

But in the border areas, it can be seen with the naked eye that the land is becoming barren and the rivers are drying up. Annoying winds and sand blow up every day, making people's hair covered with yellow sand and it is difficult to open their eyes, otherwise they will be blinded by the wind and sand. . The people on the border are frail, with hungry faces, and their complexions are a little sallow. This is not only due to the erosion of wind and sand and the sun, but also due to lack of resources and difficulty in filling their stomachs. If you can overlook it from a high altitude, you will find that the color of the bottom surface gradually changes from green to yellow. There is no longer a lush forest, but only an annoying desert, with yellow sand everywhere you look.

Ningji and the others were used to seeing the green and rich scenery of the Land of Fire. It was the first time they saw such an empty and rough desert, and their hearts were full of freshness. They watched the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the boundless yellow sand, and the caravans Already making fires for cooking, arranging livestock, and setting up tents, looking at this spectacular desert scene, Neji rang out the ancient poem "The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river."

Although they passed through half of the Fire Country, which lasted more than half a month, Neji and the others were still full of energy and did not encounter any problems along the way. It was obvious that Kai had carefully selected his tasks and there were no accidents. It's just an ordinary C-level mission. The basic purpose of hiring ninjas for this kind of mission is to ensure safety and buy safety insurance for the caravan to avoid unexpected situations.

"Now we will officially enter the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind, so please be more vigilant and take extra care!" The uncle in charge of the caravan came over to discuss safety issues with Kai and Neji on the journey below.

"Don't worry, we will be more vigilant!" Neji looked at Kai who didn't say a word and could only take over the topic. He knew that Kai was intending to cultivate his position in the team and wanted him to grow up as quickly as possible. .

. . . . . . .

"This is a reward for your hard work. Please do it for your convenience. After all, we are old acquaintances!" Seeing the employer's uncle skillfully dealing with the bandits in the desert, Xiao Li snorted angrily and was satisfied. The disgust on his face is as simple as that of him, who is at the age where he hates evil so much that he can't stand these fools.

"Xiao Li, you can disagree with these things, or you can draw a clear line between them, but you can't break their tacit understanding. This is their means of survival, and our task is to help them reach their destination smoothly. , instead of causing them trouble, I hope you can understand this!" Ningci looked at the leader of the robbers looking at the angry Xiao Li with evil eyes, and knew in his heart that they were a little annoyed, but because Neci and the others were ninjas For the sake of their own sake, they were tolerant, but if Xiao Li didn't put away his temper, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't embarrass the caravan, so Neji once again tried to persuade Xiao Li.

"I know, I will restrain myself!" Xiao Li looked at the serious Ningci, and at the increasingly solemn atmosphere at the scene, knowing that his attitude had indeed irritated the bandits, was not conducive to the safety of the caravan, and was against the rules of ninjas. The task was accomplished, so I suppressed my displeasure and put away my displeasure.

"Very good, Xiao Li. Being able to correct your mistakes means growing up." Kai praised Xiao Li without hesitation.

Xiao Li scratched his head in embarrassment, and a wisp of red crept onto his cheeks.

"Well done, Neji!" Kai gave Neci a thumbs up. He was obviously very satisfied with Neji's leadership ability and did not let his own preferences affect his judgment. This is the basic thing that a good ninja should have. Quality.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. You are welcome to pass by this place next time. We will be responsible for ensuring the safety in this area." The atmosphere at the scene became harmonious again and regained its previous harmony.

The caravan gradually left this place and marched slowly towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind. There were still the same scenery and the same things behind it, but this was the life of ordinary people and the daily life of most genin. It was boring, peaceful, and not The majestic waves in the imagination are not so many swords and swords, but more dull. But sometimes dullness is not a kind of happiness.

"Thank you very much for escorting me all the way. This is your reward. Please check it." The employer's uncle handed the money to Kai and expressed his gratitude.

"It's been a smooth journey. We actually didn't play any role. We really deserve it!" Kai was not as reckless as usual at this time and was chatting with his employer.

"No, without your presence, we would have been so peaceful along the way. The robbers are not trustworthy. It is precisely because of your deterrence that they will keep the promise between us and let us pass safely. ." The employer's uncle looked at Xiao Li and said with deep meaning in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Kai accepted the reward unceremoniously.

When Neji saw the bandits, he understood that the caravan did not hire them to actually fight, but to frighten the bandits along the way so that they could abide by the tacit agreement between the two parties. The caravan reached its destination safely. After all, for For businessmen, as long as they can go safely and smoothly, they will make money. Although it costs an extra amount of money, the cost of C-level tasks is not much, but it can guarantee that their business will not lose all their money due to safety issues, so this job Money well spent.

For the Ninja Village, this kind of mission not only exercises the genin who have just graduated, but also ensures their safety, allowing the genin to broaden their horizons and grow rapidly. So it can be considered a win-win situation for all parties.

Kai's team bid farewell to the caravan and marched quickly in the desert.

"Teacher Kai, this mission is really boring. Can you choose a challenging mission next time? Bah, bah, bah!" Xiao Li only said one sentence, and his mouth was filled with wind and sand. , quickly spit out the sand in his mouth.

"Li, if possible, I hope that all ninja missions are as boring as this one, so that ninjas won't have so many misfortunes!" Kai's voice came through the wind and sand, and it had a heavier smell than the desert. .

"Xiao Li, you have to understand that ninjas are human beings too, and they also have relatives and friends. If every mission requires fighting, how many families will be torn apart, how many couples will be separated, how many children will have no one to take care of them, and how many families will be separated. How many friends will be sad, so you must know how to be content and cherish your current life." Neji understood the preciousness of peace, and how much people like Kai who had experienced many battles valued peace. After Naruto and Sasuke graduate, the ninja world will no longer be peaceful, and many people and ninjas will die. Therefore, the peaceful time that only lasts for more than a year should be cherished.
