In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

During this period, Saki Mai led Yahiko and his party towards the border of the Fire Country in the east. At this time, the surrounding environment had changed considerably compared to that of the Rain Ninja Village. It used to be mostly pure mountains, but now it can be seen occasionally. There are patches of small forests and plains.

This also reminds Saki Mai that they are getting closer and closer to Konoha Village at the moment, and there is less and less time left for them to find the Sannin.

As for why the Sannin hasn't been found for so long, it's not that Saki Mai deliberately led the wrong way or there was something wrong with the Rinnegan.

In fact, using the Rinnegan, she had already locked the Sannin's course of action.It's just that Saki Wu has been deliberately keeping a distance from the Sannin.

The reason is simple - this is a war front.

Compared with the previous environment deep into the Yu Ninja Village, the battle on the border defense line was much more intense than deep inside the Yu Ninja Village.

Although it is clear that the battle between Konoha and Ume Ninja Village ended with Hanzo's resignation, the forces gathered in this border area are far more than just the Ume Ninja and Konoha families. There are also many Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja here. Shinobu infiltrated the troops.

The purpose of these troops was only figured out after Sakuma secretly avoided Yahiko and the others and secretly used the inner layer to extract the memory of a ninja.

They were all here to deal with the Sannin.

The reason is also very simple, it is the battle between Sannin and Hanzo.

In today's Rain Ninja Village, it is impossible to hide the news of the battle between Hanzo and the Sannin from the ninjas in other Ninja Villages.Therefore, in less than a day after the battle between Hanzo and the Sannin, the information that both sides were harmed spread throughout the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja.

For Sansho Hanzo, a veteran strongman, even though the intelligence said that the opponent suffered heavy losses, as one of the undoubted pinnacles of the ninja world today, the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja still have some scruples about taking action.

But facing Konoha's three underachievers, these two big countries became interested.

Since the end of the Warring States Period, the five major nations have expressed peace, but in fact they have never dealt with them in private, especially the Fire Nation and Konoha Village, which occupies the core area of ​​the Ninja World Continent and is rich in resources. The other four major nations have Who in the state is not envious, jealous, and hateful?

Under this premise, these major ninja villages are basically happy to do anything that can cause trouble for each other.It's a situation where as long as you suffer a loss, I'm happy even if I don't make a profit.

Then they inquired again, and the information emerged that Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were disciples of the Third Hokage.

Hehe, isn't this a God-given opportunity to create obstacles for Konoha?

So the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja made the same decision: to send ninja troops to intercept and kill the three ninjas.

Therefore, the Sannin's experience along the way was no safer than before.On the contrary, they kept fighting, and in order to be affected by the fighting, Saki kept dragging her away from them.

But no matter how much we deliberately keep our distance, we will eventually meet.And after all, Saki Mai doesn't have a pair of Byakugan that can observe remotely, and there will always be some dangers and traps on the road.

- like now.

"Are you OK?"

Just as a group of people were walking with gas masks on, Nagato suddenly looked at another fork in the road.

I saw a ninja-looking guy lying on the ground, looking unconscious.

The naive Nagato immediately wanted to step forward to check on the other party's condition, but Yahiko on the side held his shoulder first.

"Nagato, don't get close to that guy yet."

As he spoke, he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it on the back of the man lying on the ground.

boom -

With a loud noise, the ninja's body turned into a detonating talisman and exploded with such force that the ground shook.

If Nagato had come a little closer just now, he would not be dead or disabled without the Samsara Eye.

Yahiko was not surprised by this scene. After the roar ended, he said to Nagato and Konan: "Nagato, even if you see someone lying on the ground in the future, you must be wary. They are probably enemies. disguises and traps, and so does Xiaonan."

"Hmm."*2

Konan and Nagato nodded with lingering fear. They had indeed encountered many traps during this period, but this was the first time they used transformation techniques to disguise detonating talismans.

After teaching Nagato and Konan a lesson, Yahiko looked at Saki who was silent in the team, and said with some dissatisfaction: "After all, we are also companions. You should have noticed that it was a trap, why didn't you warn me? one time?"

"If someone will die from that crappy trap, that's a good thing," Saki Mai said with a faint glance at the direction of the explosion. "At least it will be good for improving the average intelligence of the ninja world."

Yahiko was speechless. When he talked to Saki recently, he would be silenced by the other party within three sentences.

But just when he mustered up the courage to talk back, Saki pointed in one direction and said, "The ninja we are looking for is in the stone forest tunnel there."

"Eh, really?"

Following Saki Mai's instructions, Yahiko and the others immediately turned their attention to the direction she pointed. There was indeed a large tunnel made of dark stones.

Can you see it from this far away?

Yahiko was about to say something when Konan on the side said, "Sister Sakimai, do you think the Sannin will not accept us as their disciples?"

Saki Mai...sister?

Hearing Konan's name, Saki Mai's eyes twitched a little. Fortunately, she was wearing an eye patch and a gas mask, so outsiders couldn't see her expression.

After a moment of silence, Sakimai replied: "Maybe, maybe not, but there will always be a chance if you give it a try. If you don't try because you are afraid of failure, then you will only have certainty. fail."

"That's right."

Yahiko on the side also immediately added: "Whether they are willing or not, we have to give it a try, otherwise our dream of changing the world will always be just a dream."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Saki Wu's back in front of him and thought to himself: Moreover, I don't want to be thought of as a talkative guy by Sister Saki Wu.

After hearing what the two said, Xiao Nan nodded seriously, "Yahiko, you are right, I have also thought about it. Regardless of whether I can succeed in becoming a disciple or not, I want to fold a gift and give it to them."

"If it's Konan's origami, I'm sure they will like it." Yahiko said with a smile.

While Yahiko and Konan were happily communicating, Nagato remained silent.

Although he does not object to Yahiko's decision to seek the apprenticeship of Konoha ninja, it is because this small group has collectively considered his own likes and dislikes in order of [ideal]. This does not mean that he has accepted Konoha in his heart. The ninja.

The parents' hatred is irreconcilable, and Nagato's hatred for Konoha cannot be erased so easily.

"Since you have decided, let's meet those ninjas now." At this moment, Saki Mai raised her hand in the direction of the three of them and said with unclear meaning, "Don't blame me for not Remind you, if you are afraid of heights, close your eyes now."

"Eh? What do you mean...ah~~~"? "
