Konoha Thief

Chapter 57 Caravan
The remnant city was repaired, barely recovering some defensive effects.

At this moment, a gap was opened in the thick and solid city gate, and a row of ninja squads of more than ten people passed through it, and then spread out, rushing in all directions.

Natsuki followed Maruhoshi Kosuke's back, stepped on the sandy ground, and kept his footsteps steady with Chakra. In the environment of the Land of Winds, Konoha Ninja's running speed was actually weakened a lot.

However, it is also possible to know from the slightest knowledge, that the reason why Konoha was able to force Sahikari back from the land of the river and advance into the land of the land of the wind is that Konoha relied on pure hard power.

Of course, that has nothing to do with Xia Shu's mission at the moment.

"More than eighty miles to the southwest, there are several villages, and there is an oasis further south."

The leader of the Jonin was a middle-aged man with obvious burns on his forehead, his name was Yuryo Takayuki, and while he was running, he tilted his head and said in a deep voice.

"The village is the first destination. If the collected materials are not enough to complete the mission, the oasis is the continued goal!"

"Yes!"

"understand!"

"..."

The members of the team responded individually.

The distance of more than eighty miles is nothing to a ninja with strong mobility. Even if you don't hurry up, it will only take one morning. Counting the collection and return requirements, this mission will not take a whole day time.

It is precisely because of this that everyone travels lightly, without much burden.

Xia Shu was in the middle of the queue, four in front and five in back. Including him, there were ten people in total.

Among them, besides Takayuki Yumyo who is a Jōnin, there are also three Chunin, and besides that, there are six Jōnin including him and Maruyoshi Kosuke.

The team didn't communicate with each other in detail, but they just got to know each other, but the task of collecting supplies is not difficult at all.

In the past, when Sha Yin and Konoha were fighting fiercely, they would be too far away from the main force, and they might encounter unpredictable enemies, but now that the decisive battle is imminent, both Konoha and Konoha are gathering their forces to prepare for the outbreak at any time. Prepare for the decisive battle, so most of the team members are relatively relaxed.

Affected by this, Xia Shu was not too tense, and just followed the team.

Stepping quickly, walking through the desolate and desolate desert, the cool wind blown by running can't counteract the scorching sun in the sky.

The team climbed up a sand dune, and the place as far as the eye could see was peaceful, like a desolate land that had never been set foot.

But this scene made Gong Liang Longxing feel relieved.

Raising his hand high as a stop gesture, he tilted his head and said, "Rest where you are, 10 minutes!"

Xia Shu took a long breath, put down the backpack, sat down on it, didn't say much, breathed quietly, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and took a big mouthful of water.

The cold spring water we took when we set off was warmed by the hot air, and it was only for quenching our thirst at this time.

After a 10-minute break, the team set off again.

On the way, Xia Shu keenly noticed that the desert land had slowed down slightly. Although the gust of wind was blowing and it was still covered by sand and dust, the difference was obvious.

Gradually, the scene in the field of vision changes as the journey progresses. The gradually solidified land and the occasional glimpses of unique plants in the Kingdom of the Wind all prove that further places are suitable places for survival.

laugh! ~

Gongliang Longxing, who was at the front, suddenly raised his hand, and stopped his body with a horizontal movement, then raised his right arm high, making gestures of 'dispersion' and 'concealment'.

Seeing this, Xia Shu was taken aback for a moment, and Kosuke Maruhoshi pulled his arm before he realized it.

He found a dead tree with a crooked neck, attached to it, and made seals with his hands. The perfect transformation technique carried by Clark Kent's glasses then took effect, and his whole body turned into a dead branch.

This kind of transformation technique is inconspicuous. If there is no special perception ability similar to white eyes, even an experienced Jonin would be difficult to see through.

The others also disguised themselves, and when the wind and sand hit, the footprints were covered, and everything fell silent.

The camel bell sounded melodiously, and even the wind and sand could not hinder it.

On the road to the southwest, a group of guards gradually approached in a daze, with strong guards riding camels in front, and then a long queue of cargo, which seemed to be a caravan.

The suspected caravan came obliquely towards the place where everyone was hiding, and the trajectory would pass by, so as long as they stayed hidden, conflicts could be avoided.

But Xia Shu knows that this is impossible, after all, the direction of this team is obviously Sand Hidden Village!
In times of war, anything that might weaken the enemy is worth doing, right in front of you!That's it!
"Go!"

A deep shout sounded, and before the words fell, a swift figure suddenly jumped up and rushed to the center of the caravan!

The central part was attacked from the beginning to the end, and the force protecting this team is obviously an experienced team.

But just as the guards at the head and tail of the team reacted, they saw several figures rushing out!
Leaping out, Xia Shu didn't hesitate, and immediately grabbed the ninja bag from the ninja bag, swapped his right hand for his left, and then drew the saber with his right.

Amidst the sound of the ninja knife being unsheathed, several shurikens had been shot out.

It turns out that shuriken, like ninjutsu, can kill.

Xia Shu's throwing technique was extremely precise, and when he dropped his hands, he saw two enemies screaming and falling down. This was throwing stones to ask for directions. Seeing this, Xia Shu's nerves relaxed, and his originally slightly restrained pace suddenly accelerated.

The conclusion of the detection and prediction is correct, the team protecting the caravan is not so powerful, at least Xia Shu who attacked the front of the caravan did not encounter any opponents.

Blessed with chakra, the ninja sword in his hands swung or stabbed, and the enemies who tried to resist fell down one after another, and the bright red life infested the sandy ground.

However, it is not without encountering opponents who can compete.

Out of the corner of his eyes, a wave of coldness rose, and Xia Shu felt a chill hit his back. The ninja knife that was about to cut suddenly stopped, and quickly pulled sideways, while his left leg stretched straight to the ground, with his center of gravity slightly tilted On one side, his right leg stretched out while his body was twisting, and kicked another enemy's crotch!

The sound of breaking eggs and the sound of clashing weapons resounded together, but the egg breaking screamed and fell to the ground, bowed into boiled prawns, while the clashing weapons stalemate for a short time.

On the other side of the entanglement of the sharp blade was a scarred man dressed as a wandering warrior. The silver light reflected by the cold blade reflected his face, and his eyes were full of ferociousness and his eyebrows were erect.

"Go to hell! Brat!" The man with the scar grinned and shouted coldly, relying on the advantage of his tall stature to press the knife, trying to overwhelm Xia Shu.

Xia Shu gritted his teeth tightly, and the blade made a rattling sound. The man with the scar had an obvious advantage, and the difference in physique made his center of gravity move down.

A tyrannical look appeared in the eyes of the man with the scar that was shining with murderous intent, as if he had seen the scene where his knife cut into the neck of the little ghost in front of him, but at this moment, a thin thread quietly entangled his neck.

Bark! ~
