Uchiha's Counterattack

A week later, near the border of Muye Village.

In the dense and deep forest, there is a relatively wide and easy road, and a caravan is moving forward on the road. This caravan has a large number of people, roughly estimated to be about fifty or sixty people, escorting more than ten carriages of goods from New Konoha, ready to be transported to surrounding towns for sale.

There are guards and ninjas in the caravan, equipped with crossbow arrows and sword shields, and the ninjas are also hired from Shinkonoha at a high price.Although there is only one team, it is already very good. After all, New Konoha Village has implemented the policy of closing the village for nearly two years. During this period, Konoha ninjas are almost isolated from the world. Their figures in the country of fire are so rare that they are comparable to national treasures. .

In the caravan, there was a middle-aged man riding a horse. He was wearing black clothes and had a vicissitudes of life. He didn't have any weapons around him.

And this man is naturally Xia Nan's trumpet, Dao Bingwei.

This place is far away from Muye Village, and even a ninja would need several days to reach it on foot. In addition, it is remote and sparsely populated, and there are almost few people in this forest.But only rare, not nonexistent.

Before the start of the second phase of the plan, Xinmuye Village was in a mixed situation, and the shadow of the underground world expanded rapidly in the Kingdom of Fire to an astonishing level during the period when Xinmuye gathered.

The reason for this is naturally Xia Nan's early mission ban policy. The new Konoha shrinking forces gave up their missions and turned to building the village with all their strength. Then this period of time will naturally cause a window period for Konoha forces, and the underground world has spotted this opportunity. The insidious ones emerged from the ground and roamed everywhere in the Land of Fire.

In the caravan, there was an old man driving a carriage. He was responsible for driving the carriage for his master, but in fact he was also a hidden master of knife use. When Xia Nan joined the caravan halfway, his eyes never left his eyes. his side.

The old man looked left and right, and found that Xia Nan had neither chakra nor the slightest murderous intent. If it weren't for the callous in his hand that seemed to be a master with a knife, the old man even wondered if the calm-faced man in front of him was a newcomer. The aura on his body was too bland, not to mention the killing intent didn't even smell of blood at all, it was amazingly clean.

In fact, this is true. After all, Xia Nan's body was indeed "born" not long ago, only about a week and 23 hours.

"Young man, are you planning to go there?"

The old man was half leaning on the carriage, squinting at Xia Nan with an inquiring look. Holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, although he felt that Xia Nan was not a threat, his keen sixth sense warned the old man that the person in front of him was probably not a kind person, at least not as innocent as he felt.

"Go to the border, enter the country of Chuan from the border, circle around and then go to the country of Tian."

Xia Nan said calmly while riding the horse.

"Hehehe, then you are really brave. You dared to go on the road alone before you met our caravan. Thank you for not meeting those wolf-hearted black dogs. It’s hard to cross the border alive.”

Xia Nan cast a puzzled look at the old man.

The old man smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, black dogs refer to those beasts who kill people and steal goods without mercy. Since Xin Konoha chose to close the village to build itself, the area around Xin Konoha has been considered peaceful, but The farther you go, the more dangerous it is, and now the border is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, life and death are fleeting."

"Sometimes those of us who travel north and south are unavoidably nervous, so don't take it too seriously."

Faced with the old man's tone of warning and persuasion, Xia Nan nodded and expressed no dissatisfaction. After all, the most important thing for people to walk outside is to be cautious. After all, nothing is more important than life.

Xia Nan said: "It's not easy for business groups to travel around to make money, especially when business groups often travel in the mountains and forests. Encountering bandits and robbers is a common occurrence. It is natural to be careful."

"Thank you all for being willing to help me as a traveler halfway, so that I don't have to walk alone at night."

The old man smiled and did not break the topic.

"However, old man, your business group is able to hire Konoha ninjas. It's amazing. I remember that Konoha should have implemented a closed policy, and all ninjas should be built in their villages."

"Hahaha, that's what you don't know." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, but said without leaking his words: "After all, trees have roots, and people have human feelings. There are always a few exceptions in the complex intertwining of various forces. "

It seemed to answer Xia Nan's question, but in fact he didn't say anything.

Xia Nan was helpless, the old man was too defensive.

Pulling himself into the team is probably because he saw him hanging behind the merchant group and worried that he was a "stake" for bandits or robber gangs, so he deliberately pulled him in for surveillance.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was dressed in a dignified way, the old man would probably have the heart to kill Xia Nan on the spot and bury his body by the roadside.After all, killing people in this chaotic border area is no longer a crime, especially for large business groups, the value of goods is far more valuable than human life.

Sometimes Xia Nan stayed in Xinmuye Village for a long time, and almost forgot that there was still a world of cannibalism outside.

But the old man's worries were not without wind and waves.

It is true that in the past two years, the security of Xinmuye Village has been rising steadily, but the external environment has become worse and worse.

The news about the underground world encroaching on the surrounding forces of Shinkonoha was discovered as early as May last year. The Kurama clan in charge of intelligence work at that time suggested sending ninja troops to clean it up, so as not to cause chaos around Shinkonoha due to excessive encroachment .

Xia Nan agreed at that time, and Konoha Village dispatched three groups of people to sweep away the area, but the effect was not ideal. First of all, there were only a few hundred ninjas in the entire New Konoha Village. After deducting the indispensable heavy work, there were only more than a hundred people who could be freed up.

And the personnel sent out to raid can easily capture the occupied points. The mice in the dark world know that Shin Konoha, especially Uchiha, is powerful, and they will not resist you at all. The Konoha people will come back after leaving.

For example, tarsus maggots are extremely disgusting. Although Xia Nan also hated these insects, the development of the village was more important at that time, so after several raids to no avail, Xin Konoha gave up this wasteful raid and turned to Full build work on the new Konoha.

Xia Nan's idea at the time was that they should occupy it. Anyway, the foundation of Xinkoye is still there. These things can be slapped to death at any time. .

Now that the construction of Shinkonoha is coming to an end, the second phase will begin soon.

At a high-level meeting about a week ago, Shiraizumi proposed to eliminate the dark forces and spy strongholds around Shinkonoha.

Due to the nearly 2-year vacancy period around Xinkoye, the surrounding living environment is poor. In addition to the dark forces that continue to emerge from the ground, there are also spies from other big countries scattered around Xinkoye almost densely.

Because of New Konoha's ID policy, external spies cannot enter at all. If they do, they will be instantly locked and taken away by the military police who arrive at the slightest movement. Therefore, when internal attacks are no longer possible, spies from other countries can only make trouble in the surrounding areas.

These nasty bugs have colluded with the underground forces and have been destroying the environment around Xinkonoha. They have colluded with bandits and gangsters to burn, kill and loot nearby towns and villages, sell them by force, and force innocent people to engage in illegal activities, such as selling x, betting on x or even smuggling people, etc.

His crimes are so heinous that they are jaw-dropping. New Konoha Village can only ensure the safety of towns within its own village, but when it comes to towns in other parts of the Fire Country, New Konoha can only say that it can't help, and it can't be rushed if it can be helped, and they have too few ninjas. If there are fewer people sent, it will be to deliver food. If there are too many people, the village construction will slow down, which will cost you your life.

So for a long time, the activities of spies, thieves, evil parties, and underground organizations around Xinkoye were very rampant, and Xinkoye's policy of "resisting the outside world first" also made these evil forces think that Xinkoye was weak. Bullying, thus becoming more and more arrogant.

But what they didn't know was that after the rectification of Xinmuye Village was completed, Xia Nan's first step was to kill them and bloodbath all the reactionary forces around to pave the way for the second phase of the plan.

Xia Nan left the shadow avatar in the village to rectify the manpower, and ran to the border with his trumpet to explore the surrounding environment, and honed his trumpet and new abilities by the way.In order to avoid attracting attention, Xia Nan didn't tell anyone about the trumpet, including Bai Quan and the others.

Xia Nan hoped that the "Daobingwei" could maintain a certain degree of independence.After all, it might come in handy someday.

It was safe and sound to follow the caravan all the way down.

When she was near the border line, Xia Nan left the caravan on her own initiative.

Before leaving, the old man driving the car persuaded him not to seek his own death. This is the most chaotic border in Konoha. If you insist on leaving the team, there is a village 40 miles to the south. The village is built in a canyon. Poor, but backed by a ray of sky in the mountains, the terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is a little bit poor.

On weekdays, if they are not too anxious, the general business group will go to that village for a short rest, and make some small transactions with the villagers there, in exchange for supplies and the like.

After talking all the way, the old man Xia Nan's sense of favorability has been greatly improved, especially the insight into future business in his words made the old man feel that this person must be of extraordinary status, so he started to make friends with him.The most important thing in traveling north and south is personal connections, and the old man can't be said to be playing tricks on the wind.

It's a pity that the goal of Xia Nan's trip is destined to be bloody and brutal. He wants to clean up his "home".

Therefore, when the old man saw Xia Nan insisting on leaving the team, he had no choice but to advise him that if he had to leave anyway, he should go to "Kelan Village" to rest first. No matter what his purpose was, at least he could still survive in that village where all the villagers were martial arts. It's safer.

The old man's kindness attracted Xia Nan's favor, and she nodded in agreement before leaving.

"Hey, good luck to you then young man."

The old man waved his long whip and shouted "drive" in his mouth to urge the horses to move.

Xia Nan kept in mind the old man's appearance and the business group named "Qiangwei".

He knew that he would meet again in the future.
