The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Ever since he was brought back to Konoha by the Sannin from the Country of Rain, Nagato has been staying in Konoha Village. Speaking of which, escorting Yato Yato to the Country of Frost this time is the first time he has left in nearly three years. Konoha.

The situation of Uzumaki Kushina is similar to Nagato. After she came to Konoha from the Kingdom of Uzumaki, she has never been out.

Not to mention Haruno Zhao, Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina at least know what it looks like outside. Haruno Zhao is a native of Konoha Village, and this is the first time in his life that he has walked out of here.

The Kingdom of Frost is located in the northern part of the Kingdom of Fire. The group started from Konoha and went all the way north. They passed many cities on the way. Each of these cities has its own characteristics. Konoha is very different, which makes the three of them novel.

It would take about three days to reach the Land of Frost from Konoha at ninja speed, but Nagato and the others also had to take care of the speed of Yato Yuuto and his dozen or so employees, so they couldn't actually go that fast.

Moreover, these employees are also carrying a large amount of goods, and the speed is even slower.

Yato Yuuto is a businessman who will seize every opportunity to make money. After he sold out all the crystal gems he brought from the Kingdom of Frost, he also purchased many specialties from the Kingdom of Fire in the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, preparing to bring them back Go to the Kingdom of Frost to sell.

Five days later, the group of people arrived at the border area of ​​the Land of Fire, the area where Yato Yuuto was robbed by bandits.

Ever since entering this area, Yato Yuuto has become anxious. From time to time, he glances nervously around, then at the cargo he is carrying, and finally at the four people in the first class. From the four of them, Looking for some sense of security in a ninja.

There are many barren mountains in this edge area. When everyone passed under a mountain peak, Tsunade who was walking at the front suddenly stopped and shouted: "Stop."

Haruno Zhao stopped, looked at Tsunade, and asked: "Tsunade-sensei, what happened?"

Everyone else also looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade didn't answer, but pointed upward with her finger.

Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of her finger, and found a man lying on the top of the mountain, looking down at them.

Yato Yuuto stared at this man carefully, then looked at Tsunade and said anxiously: "Tsunade-sama, I know him. He is one of the gang of robbers who robbed me of my things."

At this moment, the man lying on the top of the mountain also knew that he had been discovered, stood up and quickly turned around and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Uzumaki Kushina asked Tsunade: "Tsunade-sensei, do you want us to go up and catch him?"

Tsunade shook her head, "Kushina, there's no need to do this, just let him go."

"Tsunade...Tsunade-sama." Yuto Yato said tremblingly: "You must not let him go. This guy must be the person used by the bandits as a sentry. If you let him go, the bandits' army will definitely be destroyed." They’ll be coming to us soon.”

When Yato Yuuto was in the Land of Fire, all he wanted to do was take revenge on the bandits who robbed him. But after all, he was just an ordinary person. When he got here, his fear of bandits took over again, and his thoughts changed accordingly. , I no longer think about revenge, I just want to return to the Kingdom of Frost safely as soon as possible.

Tsunade saw through what Yato Yuuto was thinking at a glance, and said calmly: "Mr. Yuuto, don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems. Even if there are really many bandits chasing after me, My men and I can also deal with them without causing you any loss."

"That's...ok." Yato Yuuto was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that he couldn't change Tsunade's decision, so he could only nodded reluctantly.

God bless me, I hope this woman is really as powerful as the Third Hokage said and can defeat those damn bandits, Yato Yuuto prayed silently in his heart.

He didn't know much about ninjas. When the Third Hokage asked the first class to escort him, he was extremely reluctant because he didn't think a few children and a woman could protect his safety.

It wasn't until the Third Hokage told Yato Yuuto that Tsunade was one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha that he agreed to let the First Class protect him.

Tsunade withdrew her gaze and continued to move forward. With her strength, it was naturally impossible for her to be afraid of a few bandits. In fact, Tsunade was expecting the bandits to come to them.

The reason why the Third Hokage specifically gave such a task of escorting the caravan to the first class was not for such a small reward, but to let Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina engage in a real battle, or to be more accurate Say yes and let the two of them kill people with their own hands.

After embarking on the path of ninja, killing is inevitable, and the danger of bandits is obviously countless times lower than that of ninjas. Let Nagato and the others use bandits to practice their skills is the best choice.

Even if these bandits don't cause trouble for the caravan, after sending Yato Yuuto back to the Kingdom of Frost, Tsunade will take Nagato and the three of them to actively look for bandits or mountain bandits to kill them when they come back. .

Speaking of which, the Third Hokage had been waiting for such a mission for a while. Originally, there were many bandits or bandits in the Land of Fire. However, after the establishment of Konoha, in order to maintain the peace of the Land of Fire and train novice ninjas, , all the bandits who were doing evil in the Land of Fire were killed by ninjas.

Several other countries are similar to the Fire Country. Until now, bandits only exist in the desolate fringes of each country.

After everyone walked for another half hour, the sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and then dozens of bandits on horseback appeared in front of them.

When they saw the robbers, dozens of robbers also saw them. Most of the latter had excited expressions on their faces. The distance between the two sides was already quite close. Even if the caravan members turned around and ran away now, it would be too late. , in the eyes of the bandits, this caravan is already theirs.

Tens of seconds later, the robbers rushed in front of everyone, and then quickly dispersed, forming a circle and surrounding everyone to prevent anyone from escaping.

Afterwards, many robbers jumped off their horses, and one of them walked up to Yuuto Yato, pointed at Yuuto Yato who looked frightened, and said loudly: "I remember you, your fat man's name is Yuu Yato." Let’s fight, right?”

This robber is about 30 years old, and his clothes are obviously much better than the other robbers. It seems that he should be the leader of this group of robbers.

The bandit leader's eyes wandered back and forth on the goods carried by the employees, and he said with a smile: "You said before that you were going to the Country of Fire to do business. It seems that you have gained a lot."

"In this case, I won't be polite. Brothers, come on..."

At this moment, a bandit suddenly looked at the forehead protectors worn by Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Haruno Zhao with a horrified expression on their foreheads, and shouted: "You...you three are from Konoha." Ninja."

"Why are there ninjas here?"

Many bandits looked at the three Nagatos in surprise. After seeing clearly the Konoha forehead protectors they wore on their heads, there was a sudden panic among the bandits.

Ordinary people simply cannot compete with ninjas, this is something everyone in the ninja world knows.

"Why are you panicking?" The bandit leader glanced at the many subordinates with cold eyes and scolded: "They are just three children. So what if they are ninjas of Konoha? Do you even want to be afraid of children?"

The bandit leader simply ignored Tsunade, thinking that only Nagato and the three here were ninjas.

You can't blame him. Ninjas don't have the words "I am a ninja" written on their faces. The only way for ordinary people to identify ninjas is to look at their forehead protectors.

The Sannin of Konoha have one thing in common, that is, none of the three of them like to wear forehead protectors. They used to wear them honestly when they were weak. Since the end of the Second Ninja World War, the Sannin of Konoha have been wearing forehead protectors. Ye's status has been greatly improved, so he lets himself go one by one and rarely continues to wear a forehead protector.

The ninjas had been gaining power for a long time. Just a few words from the bandit leader could not appease the many bandits. Many of them were already preparing to retreat.

The bandit leader knew his men well. In order to prevent these people from actually escaping, he gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed towards Nagato.

"Go to hell!" the bandit leader shouted, holding a big knife and slashing at Nagato.

To his surprise, the red-haired ninja across from him just stood there blankly facing his attack, making no move to dodge or resist at all.

The bandit leader looked at this scene and felt secretly happy in his heart. What about the ninja? He was just a child after all. He still couldn't react to his sudden attack.

No, maybe these kids are not ninjas at all, but pretend to be Konoha ninjas to scare people.

The bandit leader believed that the other party would definitely die. However, at the moment when his sword was about to hit Nagato, Nagato suddenly disappeared from his eyes and appeared on the left a few meters away.

Slow, really too slow.

Nagato watched expressionlessly as the bandit leader attacked him.

When he faced off against senior genin in the graduation examination at the ninja school, he already felt that the speed of those senior genin was very slow, but the speed of this bandit leader was much slower than those senior genin, it was like slow motion.

Sure enough, whether there is chakra or not are completely two concepts. Ordinary people, no matter how superb their skills are, it is impossible to fight against ninjas.

Nagato used the teleportation technique to easily avoid the bandit leader's attack. Then he took out a shuriken from the ninja bag on his waist and shot it at the bandit leader's throat.

The bandit leader's eyes widened and he wanted to defend himself with a broadsword, but he had just come up with the idea. Before he could lift the broadsword, the shuriken was accurately shot into his throat, directly through his neck. .

A large amount of blood spurted out from the bandit leader's neck. He let go of the handle of the knife and covered his neck with both hands, trying to save his life, but in the end it was in vain.

Bright red blood continued to seep from between his fingers, and the bandit leader's expression was extremely distorted. Two seconds later, he covered his neck and fell to the ground with a plop, his eyes dimming.
