In the evening, if it's not cloudy, you can always see the glow filling the sky when you're in Konoha.
At this moment, the earth, which had been scorched by the sun all day, began to cool down in the cool breeze, announcing that the day was about to end.
The gate of Konoha Village.
A team of 10 people were ready to go. They were dressed in the uniform black robes and gold-trimmed merchant clothing of the Iron Kingdom. Five carriages on the side were loaded with large boxes of goods.
The leader was a slim middle-aged woman named "Kasahana" wearing a cloak and veil.
everything's ready.
Kasahana took the Fire Country pass and handed it to Konoha gate guards Kotoko Tetsu and Kamizuki Izumo. After completing some procedures, she came to the end of the line with a smile.
Tenzang led Bai Yu, Quan, and Inuzuka Akira behind the team, waiting for orders and ready to go at any time.
"This escort mission to the River Kingdom will be left to you. When we reach the destination, our Iron Kingdom caravan will be grateful." The female leader Kasahana looked at Tenzo and saluted.
Tenzo nodded in return and said calmly: "The Iron Country has always had good relations with the Fire Country. We will do our best for the escort mission. In terms of safety, just leave it to us Konoha ninjas!"
"Thank you very much, let's go then!" Lihua Liuye smiled with a crooked eyebrow and turned around to greet the team to set off.
Gulu——
The wheels of the carriage turned.
There was a puff of dust.
Bai Yu and Izumi looked at each other and smiled slightly. They were carrying backpacks for traveling and wearing Uchiha blue short-sleeved clothes. The difference was that Izumi wore a blue skirt on his lower body, while Bai Yu wore black pants.
The appearance of the Uchiha clan.
Make them stand out in the crowd.
Before leaving the village entrance.
Bai Yu deliberately turned around and looked at the Konoha gatekeeper "Steel Steel". This guy looked exactly like Danzo when he was young. It was easy for people to wonder whether this man could be Danzo's illegitimate son.
Put away your thoughts.
Bai Yu and Quan walked side by side, looking at the familiar woods around them, and couldn't help but sigh that this was his first time traveling far away in this world.
Hope all is well.
"Sorry, because it's an urgent shipment, so we have to travel at night."
A businessman at the rear of the caravan turned around and explained to Tianzang politely.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether it's day or night, it's the same for ninjas who are performing tasks!" Tianzang replied with a smile.
"Thanks for your understanding!"
…
…
The night is as dark as ink.
Later in the night.
The shrill cries of night owls can be heard on the treetops of the forest. Along with the cold air, the backs of those who are rushing at night feel chilly all the time.
The team walked along the Fire Nation official road.
It took about six hours of walking.
It's almost morning.
Nothing happened all the way.
Bai Yu always maintains the vigilance that a ninja should have, is full of energy, and constantly observes the surrounding environment.
After early morning.
In addition to Tenzo and Bai Yu in the team, Izumi and Inuzuka Akira didn't often stay up late, their mental state dropped significantly, and they would yawn continuously while walking.
"Ninja-sama, it will be dawn soon. You can lie down on the carriage for a while."
A businessman shouted back.
The convoy slowed down a lot, began to feed the horses, and stopped on the side of the road.
Tianzang looked at Izumi and Inuzuka Akira beside him, and smiled helplessly: "You guys should get on the carriage and rest for a while. Bai Yu, you can go too."
"Okay!" Bai Yu did not refuse.
Just because he's not sleepy doesn't mean he doesn't need to rest to replenish his energy.
The three of them approached the last carriage full of goods. Bai Yu took the lead in climbing into the carriage and lying on the large box containing goods in the middle, leaving the left and right positions for the two of them. Akira Inuzuka frowned and looked unhappy. Choosing to lie on the right side, he originally moved closer to Izumi.
How could Bai Yu not see through the little thoughts of adolescent boys?
Sticky sticker?
Go put up your wooden boards!
After Quan got in the car.
Open your hands.
Her breath was like orchid, relaxing and softening her body bones. Then she sat cross-legged next to Bai Yu and took out the seal scroll from her arms with a smile.
After decoding.
She took out the iced food box from the seal scroll, took out the three-color meatballs and distributed them to Bai Yu first, and then to Tenzo and Inuzukana.
"Thank you." Bai Yu replied politely, taking a bite of the cold meatballs and chewing them slowly. They tasted like bean paste and glutinous rice buns, three different kinds of delicious food. He praised: "It's so delicious. Hehe, do you have any more?"
After tasting it, Tenzo and Inuzuka Akira were equally unable to be picky about the sweet but not greasy taste.
There was a sweet taste left in Inuzuka Akira's mouth. He looked at Bai Yu lying in the middle and became even more unhappy. He was obviously the one who became teammates with Quan in the first place.
Quan was carrying a bunch of meatballs, showing his white teeth, and pushed the food box in front of Bai Yu with a smile: "Yes."
Bai Yu didn't wait for him to say thanks.
Under the large box containing goods where he sat, there was a slight tremor, like the sound of rats gnawing wood chips.
Bai Yu's heart trembled.
dangerous? ? ?
He stood up angrily, took out the kunai from his leggings, and was about to split the lock on the box, but found that in the darkness, the lock had long since disappeared, leaving two small breathing holes.
Tianzang noticed the situation and quickly followed.
Seeing Bai Yu's posture, Izumi and Inuzuka Akira immediately stopped and took out kunai with solemn expressions.
Something inside the box.
It seemed that it was quiet outside.
There is no more sound.
Bai Yu glanced left and right at Izumi and Inuzuka Akira who got out of the car.
The three of them exchanged eyes.
Bai Yu put his hand on the corner cover of the wooden box and looked back at Tianzang. After getting a nod from Tianzang who had formed a seal behind him, he pondered for three seconds, prepared to dodge, and suddenly opened the lid of the box.
Click——
The huge cargo box was opened.
Bai Yu dodged to the right.
By the light of the torches surrounding the carriage.
The moment the box is opened.
After Bai Yu saw the being in the box, his pupils shrank suddenly. When the being in the box saw that he was exposed, his beautiful indigo eyes froze. Bai Yu gritted his teeth and tightened his feet suddenly. He almost fell down and staggered. Climb to the front of the box, open your hands, and protect the front of the box, for fear of being accidentally injured by your teammates.
Tianzang: "..."
He released the wooden pier halfway and broke off hastily.
Izumi and Akira Inuzuka were extremely surprised when they saw this scene.
Three people gathered around.
Bai Yu took a torch from Quan's hand and lit up the entire carriage with a look of helplessness on his face.
I saw a person sitting in the cargo box containing various military ration pills and scrolls!
Kakaka——
Ino was sitting in the middle of the box with her legs spread out. After she was exposed, she didn't react at all. She was holding the bag of potato chips in her hand blankly, her bulging cheeks were chewing like a little hamster, and the corners of her mouth were stained with sesame-sized potato chips. Scrap.
moment.
"ah!"
Ino noticed something was wrong, opened her mouth slightly, and panicked. She immediately threw away the potato chips and hid in the corner of the box, holding her little head and shivering.
"Ino, stop pretending!"
"Were the potato chips temporarily snatched from Choji?"
"Why are you following me?"
"Does your father know?"
Bai Yu patted his forehead, feeling a headache, and asked three questions.
Ino, like a groundhog, suddenly stuck out half of his head, his pale yellow ponytail swaying, his big eyes staring innocently at Bai Yu, and said aggrievedly: "You graduated early... and you didn't even tell me alone, I... I……"
Tianzang looked at Ino, who looked familiar, and asked Bai Yu, "What's going on?"
"this……"
Bai Yu hasn't spoken yet.
Ino said excitedly: "Captain Tenzo, I am a student of the Konoha Ninja School. My, my, my name is Yamanaka Ino. I know the Three Body Technique and will not hold you back. I want to follow you on this mission!"
Tianzang: "..."
