Chapter 57 Caravan
The remnant city was repaired and barely restored some defensive effects.
At this moment, the thick and sturdy city gate opened a gap, and a group of more than ten ninja teams passed through it, then spread out and rushed to various directions.
Natsuki followed Maruhei Kosuke's back and stepped on the sandy land, maintaining his steady pace with chakra. In the environment of the Wind Kingdom, the speed of Konoha Ninja's running was actually much weakened.
But seeing the smallest and knowing, it can be seen that the reason why he can force Sai Yin to retreat from the Kingdom of Sichuan and advance into the territory of the Kingdom of Feng, Konoha relies on pure hard power.
Of course, that has nothing to do with Natsuki’s task at the moment.
"More than eighty miles southwest, there are several villages, and there is an oasis further south."
Leading the head Shangren is a middle-aged man with obvious burns on the corner of his forehead. He was named Gong Liang Takayoshi. While running, he spoke in a deep voice while he was running.
"The village is the first destination. If the collected materials are not enough to achieve the task, the oasis is the goal of continuing!"
"yes!"
"clear!"
“…”
The members of the team responded.
The distance of more than 80 miles is nothing for the manoeuvre ninjas. Even if you don’t hurry up, it’s just a whole morning. Including the collection and return, this mission will not take a whole day.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is on the road with light clothes, but there is not much burden.
Xia Shu is in the center of the queue, with four in front and five in the back, including him, a total of ten people.
Among them, except for Gong Liang Takayoshi, who is the Supreme Ninja, there are also three Zhongnians. In addition, there are six Xianians including him and Maruseki Kosuke.
The team did not communicate in detail, but they only got to know each other, but the task of collecting materials was not difficult.
If in the past, when Satsuki and Konoha were fighting fiercely, they would have been too far away from the large army and might have encountered unpredictable enemies. But now the decisive battle is imminent, both Konoha and Satsuki are gathering their troops to prepare for a decisive battle that will break out at any time, so most of the team are relatively relaxed.
Infected by this, Xia Shu was not too tight and just followed the team continuously.
Steps quickly, walking through the deserted desert, the cool breeze caused by running cannot offset the fiery sun in the sky.
The team climbed up a sand dune, and the place where they saw was quiet, like a desolate place that had never been involved.
But this scene made Gong Lianglongxing feel relieved.
He raised his hand and made a stop gesture, and he turned his head and said, "Resting on the spot for ten minutes!"
Xia Shu took a long breath, put down her backpack, sat on it, and didn't say much. She breathed slowly silently, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and drank a lot of water.
The cold spring water that was fired when leaving was baked into warm water by the hot air, which was only for quenching thirst.
After ten minutes of rest, the team set off again.
On the way, Xia Shu keenly realized that the desert land had slowed down slightly. Although the gusts of wind were still blocking sand and dust, it was obviously different.
Gradually, the scene in the vision changes as we move. The gradually strengthening land and the unique plants of the Wind Country that we occasionally glimpse at, all prove that the farther place is suitable for survival.
Sigh! ~
Gong Lianglongxing, who was in front, suddenly raised his hand and stopped his body. Then he raised his right arm high and made a "dispersed" and "hidden" gesture.
Seeing this, Natsuki was stunned for a moment, but was pulled by Maruseki Kosuke's arm, and then he realized.
He found a crooked dead tree, attached it, and made seals with his hands. The perfect transformation technique carried by Clark Kent's glasses took effect, and the whole person turned into a dead branch.
This transformation technique is inconspicuous. Without special perception ability similar to rolling eyes, even experienced Supreme Ninja will be difficult to see through.
The others also pretended to behave themselves, and when the wind and sand hit, their footprints were covered, everything went silent.
The camel bell rang melodiously, and even the wind and sand filled it could not hinder it.
On the road to the southwest, a team of vaguely approached, with strong guards riding camels in front, and then a cargo-carrying team, which seemed to be the caravan.
The suspected caravan team is coming slanted towards the hidden place of everyone, and the trajectory will pass by, so as long as you stay hidden, conflicts can be avoided.
But Xia Shu knew that this was impossible. After all, the direction of this team was obviously moving in Sand Village!
During wartime, anything that may weaken the enemy is worth doing, just like before you! That's the moment!
"Do it!"
A low shout sounded, and before he finished speaking, a quick figure suddenly jumped up and rushed to the center of the caravan!
The central part was attacked and naturally had its head and tail arches. The force to protect this team was obviously an experienced team.
But the guards at the beginning and end of the team just realized that several figures rushed out!
After jumping out, Natsuki didn't hesitate, immediately grabbed it from the ninja bag, changed his right hand to his left hand, and then drew his sword with his right hand.
With the sound of the ninja knife being unsheathed, several shurikens were already shot out.
It turns out that like ninjutsu, shuriken can kill people.
Xia Shu's throwing technique was extremely accurate. When he was out of hand, two enemies screamed and fell. He was throwing a stone to ask for directions. Seeing this, Xia Shu's nerves loosened, and his pace, which had been slightly converging, suddenly accelerated.
It is true that the conclusions of detection and prediction are not true. The team guarding the caravan is not very powerful. At least, the attacking Natsuki at the front end of the caravan did not encounter any opponents.
With the blessing of Chakra, the ninja knife he mastered was swinging or stabbing, and the enemies who were trying to resist fell one after another, and the bright red life invaded the sand.
However, it is not without encountering opponents who can compete.
A cold wave rose from the corner of his eyes, and Xia Shu felt a chill invade his spine. The ninja knife he was about to cut off suddenly stopped and pulled it sideways quickly. His left leg stretched straight to the ground, and the center of gravity slightly tilted to one side. As his body twisted, his right leg poked out and kicked under the crotch of another enemy!
The sound of egg shattering and the sound of weapons fighting each other, but the egg shattering and fell to the ground with a scream, and the bow turned into cooked prawns. However, the weapon shattering and fighting each other briefly ended.
On the other side of the sharp blade entangled, there was a scar man dressed in a wandering warrior. The silver light reflected by the cold blade reflected his face, and he saw his eyes full of ferocious eyes and his bearded eyebrows were standing upside down.
"Go to die! Little devil!" The scar man grinned and shouted coldly, relying on his tall figure to press the knife, trying to crush Xia Shu.
Xia Shu gritted his teeth and made a giggle sound. The scar man had a clear advantage, and the physical gap made his center of gravity move down.
The scar man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the tyrannical look appeared, as if he had seen the scene of his sword slashing into the little ghost's neck in front of him. However, at this moment, a thin thread quietly entangled around his neck.
Chapter completed!
