Uchiha Makoto looked at the dozens of corpses around him. All of these people were killed in one blow.
Of course it was Kakashi who took action.
"I didn't expect so many wandering ninjas to cause trouble in the eastern part of the Land of Fire." Uchiha Makoto's voice deepened.
The owl on the side said helplessly: "There is no way, because of the war, many small villages were wiped out, and these people became wandering ninjas.
However, there are also many wandering ninjas who make a living by turning to business.
Those who become robbers, burn, kill and loot like this deserve to die!"
Yu Lei frowned and said: "Actually, one should be left alive, maybe they have accomplices.
If we leave, they will be in trouble if they continue to cause trouble.
Although the village has issued many tasks to clean up bandits and bandits, these people often hide in the mountains.
It is not easy to kill them all in a short time. "
Uchiha Makoto and a group of ten people left Konoha Village and drove east for two days, approaching the eastern border of the Land of Fire.
Along the way they encountered three waves of bandits.
The 16 people they met this time were all wandering ninjas. When Uchiha Makoto and others met them, these ninjas were robbing and killing people in a small village.
After meeting them, Uchiha Makoto and others rushed forward.
After these people were instantly killed three people, they immediately ran away, but they were soon chased by Kakashi and got to know them all.
After hearing the words of Owl and Yu Lei, the bloodlust in Kakashi's eyes gradually faded.
"In this case, just in case, Yu Lei, you stay and move to Konoha with the remaining villagers."
Uchiha Makoto looked towards the direction of the village to the west, where thick smoke rose from time to time.
The village has been burned down, and most of the villagers have been killed or injured. At this time, leaving one person behind to take care of the aftermath is the best choice.
"Yes! Captain!" Yu Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded.
"Captain Yufeng, this is not good. If there is one less ANBU member, will it affect the team's combat effectiveness? If there is an unexpected situation, will it affect the mission?
Of course, I don’t mean to ignore death. Can’t we give the villagers some money and let them relocate on their own? "
Someone in the envoy team composed of five chuunin suddenly expressed different opinions.
In fact, we can't blame them. After all, the last five-man team lost four people to death and one was injured. Without the protection of one ANBU member, the danger will naturally increase.
"Yamada-kun, don't worry! The captain alone can match the combat power of a squad of ANBU. At my level, the captain can fight a group with one hand." Yulei said with a very firm tone.
"This..." The chunin Hirakawa Yamada who just proposed showed hesitation, obviously not believing Yu Lei's words.
Uchiha Makoto saw this situation and said: "Yamada-kun, do you think this is a good idea? Let Yu Lei stay first and let him send the villagers to the town to the west first, and then catch up according to the code we left. How about ?”
"Okay, then." Seeing that Uchiha Makoto was so easy to talk to, Hirakawa Yamada was embarrassed to say more.
As he said that, he asked the four chuunin who were traveling with him to pool some money together.
Uchiha Makoto and others collected about 80,000 taels and handed them to Yulei, asking him to pass them on to the 13 surviving villagers.
The money is not much, but it is enough to feed the villagers for a period of time.
As for the rest, it's up to them.
After Yu Lei left, Uchiha Makoto said: "Kakashi, don't be so impulsive next time."
Kakashi had completely calmed down by now, and he nodded silently.
Because Kakashi showed great strength and amazing murderous intent when killing bandits in the past two days, the team members were a little afraid of him. No one except Uchiha Makoto dared to speak against him.
...
Another day passed, Uchiha Makoto and others arrived at the east coast of the Land of Fire.
Then they took a big boat and headed towards the Kingdom of Water.
Two days later, they arrived at Naraku City, the largest coastal city in the west of the Kingdom of Water.
Uchiha Makoto walked around the city and felt that the economic development of the Water Country was indeed much behind that of the Fire Country.
Although we have such a long coastline, we do not make use of the rich marine resources.
With this war effort, we can develop the breeding industry. The fishing industry will not only make a lot of money, but the tourism industry can also develop if it doesn't work.
Naraku City is obviously one of the largest cities in the Kingdom of Water, but the people's lives are not very wealthy.
When it comes to the Great Ninja War, the country of water is the last place to participate.
It was obviously not bordering the other four countries, so even if it won a short-term war, it would be impossible to control the captured land across the sea.
The little compensation we got from the war was not enough to make up for the losses!
What's more, he hasn't won the battle yet.
Of course, these are Uchiha Makoto's thoughts.
If the current Mizukage was Mei Terumi, he might think Uchiha Makoto's idea was good, but Yagura, the fourth Mizukage, was still under Obito's control.
If all countries use their existing resources to develop their economies, their citizens will live very well, and there will be no need to fight wars.
However, Uchiha Makoto's idea is not applicable to the current ninja world.
...
Uchiha Makoto and others took a short rest in the city and waited for about a day. Through secret contact with the senior leaders of the main peace faction in Kirigakure Village, they got the opportunity to meet.
The location is in a valley called Snake Valley, a hundred miles east of Narok City.
That night, Yulei also arrived at Naraku Castle and met Uchiha Makoto and the others.
Early the next morning, Uchiha Makoto and others rushed to Snake Valley.
They rushed to a place about fifty meters outside Snake Valley, where two people were already standing on the high slope of the valley.
Seeing Uchiha Makoto and others arriving, one of them raised a blue flag and waved it, and then raised a red flag.
Upon seeing this, Hirakawa Yamada also took out two flags, one red and one blue, from his arms and faced the opposite signal.
"Captain Yufeng, no problem!"
With that said, Hirakawa Yamada walked towards Taniguchi.
The other person also jumped down from the high slope and walked over.
The two stopped five meters away.
Hirakawa Yamada said: "Swordsman Gale!"
The person opposite Kirigakure said: "Hasai!"
After the two of them checked the code again, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Hirakawa Yamada returned to Uchiha Makoto and others, and a group of ten people prepared to enter the valley.
But as soon as they entered the valley, they saw at least a dozen Kirigakure ninjas standing guard around them.
Hirakawa Yamada's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked at Uchiha Makoto with a gesture.
Uchiha Makoto nodded slightly to reassure him.
Hirakawa Yamada calmed down a little, and everyone came to the flat grassland in the middle of the valley, where a temporary tent had been set up.
"Wait, only two can go in!" Uchiha Makoto and others were about to enter the tent, when the Kirigakure ninja leading the way suddenly reached out to stop them.
Seeing this, Uchiha Makoto ordered the people behind him: "You guys wait outside, Yamada-kun, let's go in."
The Kirigakure ninja said respectfully to the tent: "Chief, Konoha's envoy has arrived."
"Invite them in." A majestic voice came from the tent.
"Yes!" The Kirigakure ninja bowed and said, "Please, both of you."
Uchiha Makoto nodded to Hirakawa Yamada and entered the tent first.
Hirakawa Yamada followed closely behind.
In Uchiha Makoto's perception, there were no hidden Kirigakure ninjas in the valley, and there were only two people in the tent, and there was no hidden aura.
Obviously, although the other party has brought many people with them, there is no malicious intention so far.
After Uchiha Makoto entered the tent, he saw two men sitting inside, one of whom looked to be in his forties. Although his hair was gray and his face was deeply wrinkled, his appearance was elegant and handsome, a handsome old man.
Apparently, the other person was as popular among thousands of girls as Uchiha Makoto when he was young.
However, Uchiha Makoto's main attention was on another young man in his twenties.
This person has long blue hair that stands upright. He wears a black eyepatch on his right eye and brown earrings on both ears with rune-like patterns painted on them.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a serious expression, and an unsmiling look.
A person's name appeared in Uchiha Makoto's mind.
Kirigakure Jounin Ao.
Seeing this iconic appearance, although he was much younger, Uchiha Makoto still recognized him.
As if feeling the comment in Uchiha Makoto's eyes under his mask, Ao frowned.
Perhaps because he felt how extraordinary Uchiha Makoto was, Ao's expression was tense and his attention was always focused on him.
Hirakawa Yamada bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Konoha's envoy Hirakawa Yamada has met Lord Terumi Yuya!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Yamada, please sit down!" Terumi Yuya smiled lightly.
Terumi Yuya?
Hearing Terumi's familiar last name, Uchiha Makoto's heart moved, and the appearance of a person emerged.
The Terumi clan is the top clan of Kirigakure, equivalent to Hinata and Uchiha in Konoha.
Since Terumi Yuya is the leader of the Lord Peace Faction, he should obviously be the clan leader.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Makoto became more confident about completing this mission.
"This is the letter that the Fourth Generation asked me to bring. Please read it." Hirakawa Yamada took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Terumi Yuya respectfully.
Terumi Yuya took the letter and read it carefully.
After a while, he proposed modifications to the conditions in the letter, while Hirakawa Yamada argued hard.
After half an hour of discussion, the two reached a preliminary consensus.
Roar~
At this time, Uchiha Makoto, who was sitting outside with Qing, suddenly lost his expression and stood up suddenly.
He heard Warwick's warning.
"Huh?!" Seeing Uchiha Makoto's fierce reaction, Ao ducked in front of Terumi Yuya and protected him behind him.
Just when Hirakawa Yamada was puzzled by Uchiha Makoto's behavior, the ground suddenly shook, followed by a violent explosion.
"ah!"
"There are enemies!"
"Protect the leader!"
