The task Madara mentioned was to transport property to a non-ninja family. Such a task was easier than the battlefield.

Even if someone takes action after hearing the news, the risk factor is far less than on the battlefield.

This time, Madara led the team as the captain, and besides Kamui, there were five people going with him.

In the past, Tajima would arrange for his confidants to lead the team every time he went on a mission. This time, it was Madara's first time leading the team as the captain.

As for his intentions, everyone knew it. It was obvious that he was cultivating Madara in the same way as he was cultivating a successor.

Before departure, Tajima went to see them off for the first time.

Outside the main hall, he looked back and forth at his two sons. His son, Uchiha Tajima, was the best among men. He was not inferior to others in appearance, let alone in momentum.

The silent Madara and the bright and wanton Kamui formed a sharp contrast.

Tajima stared at Kamui for a long time. This child seemed to have changed into a different person in the past year. While training hard, his body has also improved a lot. He is no longer weak and prone to vomiting blood.

If it continues like this, it will definitely become an existence that is not inferior to Madara and Izuna.

The 14-year-old boy is like a rising sun, brilliant and dazzling, and his future is full of possibilities.

After looking at the child for a long time, he raised his hand, and for the first time, he stretched his hand toward the top of Kamui's head.

Tajima had never done anything intimate as a father to his son in the past, so much so that he himself felt uncomfortable.

The rough big hand stopped hesitantly on the top of Kamui's head. Kamui thought Tajima was weird. Now, the young man looked up, looking at the hand covering the light, looking at the hand on top of his head but he hesitated. The hand that was willing to fall.

Tajima chuckled, which contained many emotions that others could not understand.

The hand finally came down, and he rubbed Shenwei's head heavily. All the emotions that were difficult to express between father and son were gathered in this "rubbing" action, and even his tone was rare and gentle.

He said: "Kamui, listen carefully to your elder brother's words. You are my son, Uchiha Tajima. Don't let me down."

Kamui listened in confusion, but the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.

He looked at Madara and then at Tajima in front of him. He always felt that the atmosphere today was strange. Madara was very silent and even Tajima seemed to have changed his gender.

Raising his hand to touch the top of his head that had been touched by his father, Shenwei suddenly thought of his master. When he won the national martial arts competition championship at the age of 17, his master had also rubbed the top of his head like this, and he was the only one who did it. Pass.

It turns out that this is how it feels to be rubbed by someone called father.

Kamui smiled suddenly, as if the spring breeze was blowing, and a mature smile appeared on his face that was different from his age.

"Ah, I will behave well, father."

Go west from the Uchiha clan to Huashang City, and be entrusted by the nobles of Huashang City to escort the betrothal gift to Matsue Castle in the south, that's all.

When nobles get married, there are many betrothal gifts and return gifts. Moreover, when a wealthy family gets married, news spreads quickly. They must ask ninjas to help escort them, otherwise they may be robbed by bandits or ronin.

It took three days to get to Huashang City, but the three-day journey was a rare relief for Shenwei.

There is no need to train, no need to tense your nerves all the time like on the battlefield, and there is no oppression of living in the clan.

A group of seven people walked through the dense forest. The ancient trees blocking the sky blocked the sunlight, making it seem like they were walking in a dark area.

It was autumn, the sun was not shining, and the cold air was coming from all directions. Even so, Kamui was still happy visible to the naked eye.

Madara had been walking on the side of Kamui. Seeing his high interest, Madara was a little confused.

"Although it is just an escort mission, there are dangers. Don't take it lightly."

"I know."

Madara's brows furrowed, and it was obvious that Kamui didn't know that he spoke so perfunctorily, with the corners of his mouth curled up and down, and his eyes wandering around, like a rabbit that had been kept in a cage for a long time. Once out of the cage, everything feels new.

Madara sighed and said to Kamui in a deep voice: "Remember, the darker the place and the easier it is to hide, the easier it is for enemies to ambush you. You must be extra careful when passing by such a place."

Before Madara finished speaking, Kamui felt his calf hit something. When he slowed down to look, the sun shone in mottledly through the gaps in the branches. Kamui only saw a ray of bright light that dazzled his eyes. He quickly reached out his hand to block it.

"It's so dazzling!"

Madara also saw it. It was an extremely thin iron wire. Now, the iron wire was broken. When the wind blew, it was fluttering and carried away by the wind.

"No, everyone be careful!"

Just as they were reminded, dozens of shurikens were thrown at them from all directions.

The five people following behind had encountered this situation many times. They immediately drew out the long knives behind their backs and surrounded Madara and Kamui. They waved the long knives in their hands very quickly to kill those hands. The sword blocked them all.

After several "ding-dang-dang" sounds, there was a muffled sound of "boom-boom-boom", and all the shurikens blocked by the long knife shot into the trunk of the ancient tree next to it.

The sound of weapons clashing seemed to awaken the forest that had been sleeping for a long time. The nearby animals and birds fled in all directions, making the area suddenly lively.

A group of seven people had no time to care about animals. They mobilized all their senses to sense nearby enemies.

Kamui's perception was very average. Even though he tried very hard to perceive it, not a single enemy noticed it.

After a brief period of excitement, the forest returned to its original tranquility.

Kamui glanced at Madara, who had a stern look on his face. He looked around sharply, probably looking for the enemy's location.

"I'm sorry, I...I can't sense the enemy." It's not a shame for non-perceptive ninjas to sense it, but Kamui feels ashamed for some reason.

Before Kamui could finish speaking, Madara said, "It's a trap."

"trap?"

There were sentient ninjas among the tribesmen around him, and he explained: "There are no enemies nearby. I'm afraid these shurikens are traps they laid before."

The man with the Chinese character face was a little older than them. He frowned and said: "The difficult thing now is that we don't know who this trap is for. Did we accidentally trigger it, or..."

The spot-headed man had an unsightly look on his face, "If it's against us, then this operation has been completely exposed. I'm afraid it will be a little tricky."

Shenwei naturally understands their worries. If this trap is meant to deal with them, it means that someone is eyeing the betrothal gifts in Huashang City, and the other party is not ordinary bandits and ronin, they are ninjas.

The guy with the low ponytail smacked his lips, with a half-smile on his face. He put the knife back into the scabbard and said, "It seems that our mission this time will be a little difficult, but with the young clan leader here, it must be okay." It’s not that difficult, what do you think?”

When he came out, Kamui had never looked carefully at the faces of these guys, but at this moment, his attention was suddenly attracted by this guy.

It sounded like a compliment, but in fact, the contempt was too much to contain.

Shenwei looked at him with interest and thought to himself, there were seven people in total, but they were not of the same mind.

It seems that Madara, the young patriarch, is not so easy to be a leader.
