Konoha Thief

Chapter 58 The War Is Coming
The black rope turned into a noose, but it was even sharper. It easily cut the scarred man's throat, and the owl lowered his head!
The bright red that emerged from the neck was like a coquettish blood-colored fountain, soaring into the sky, and then the man with the scar who was still holding the weapon fell down, and blood infected a large area of ​​land.

The shadow avatar put away the black rope without changing its face, and then dissipated with a bang. Xia Shu, who stepped back a few steps, also sheathed the knife and calmed down his breathing.

The so-called enemy who can compete with one or two is nothing more than that, and it is not worth Xia Shu's second look.

At the same time, the attack on the caravan was over.

After a battle, several handfuls of blood were spilled on the shallow sandy land, and the wind blew as if it had never existed.

Then the team collecting supplies thoroughly confirmed one thing, that is, there are no ninjas in the caravan.

But this is no longer important at this moment, because none of the people in the caravan survived, or there was no plan to keep alive at all!
War is like this, maybe the people in the caravan are innocent, but no one cares.

But the death of these people also allowed the original target to escape.

"It's food!"

"This car is too!"

"..."

The sound of reports sounded one after another, and there was a lot of joy in them, which meant that the task of collecting materials this time was successfully completed.

"Captain Gong Liang, you don't have enough seal scrolls to bring back all the supplies!" a Chunin said worriedly.

There is a limit to the task of collecting materials, but the caravan that happened to meet now has provided them with more materials than they have completed.

Gong Liang Longxing pondered for a moment, then said: "Fill the seal scroll first, and drive the rest back to the truck. If the journey goes well, we may be able to return before night falls."

The land of the wind is vast and sparsely populated, but the desertification is serious, it is not suitable for farming, it is difficult to manage, and there is a natural shortage of food. This batch of food must be extremely important to Shayin.

Seeing Gongliang Takayuki directing his subordinates to bury the corpses and rearrange the arrangement of the caravan, Xia Shu couldn't help but think a lot, and finally only came to one conclusion - if this batch of grain was indeed transported to Shayin Village, then Konoha and Shayin The decisive battle must be not far away!
The actions of the ninjas have always been swift, and after a quarter of an hour, the 'caravan' regrouped and set off.

The only difference is that compared to the long queue before, the new caravan only drives three semi-trucks.

The camel bell jingled, and the truck was pulled back on the return journey. Natsuki was sitting in the second truck from the front, and beside him was Kosuke Maruyoshi.

The two of them, one old and one young, were undoubtedly taken care of.

Natsuki would not refuse to save some energy, and obviously Maruyoshi Kosuke also did the same.

The truck wobbled and returned along the way it came, but soon Xia Shu determined that they might not be able to return to the Remnant City before night fell.

The caravan traveled on a solid road before, but the return road was a complete desert. As the process progressed, the speed decreased again and again. In the end, Gong Liang Longxing had no choice but to order some food to be destroyed, and several camels were used to drag two Go fast.

However, when I saw the shadow of the remnant city under the bright and cold moon, it was still the middle of the night and it was already midnight.

After exchanging the password to enter the city, the city gate opened a gap, and the crowd drove the camels into the city.

"Shoube Chunin, Inari Genin, and Fujiwara Genin stay, and the others can be disbanded." Speaking of this, Yumyo Takayuki added: "As for the credit for this collection mission, everyone is indispensable. Disband have a rest!"

"Yes!"

"Yumi Yoshinobu!"

"..."

The ninjas who participated in this mission were not happy when they heard the words. After all, although war is cruel, it is also a fast way to improve their status and class. Especially this mission has no surprises, no dangers and no disturbances, but it is enough to be considered a great achievement.

Walking in the dark alley with the cold wind blowing, Xia Shu didn't feel any joy in his heart.

"The war is coming!" As if aware of Natsuki's worry, Kosuke Maruhoshi stopped after walking out of the shadow of an alley, and looked sideways at the deep night sky.

"Really?" Xia Shu responded casually, but couldn't help sighing.

His mind was confused by the word 'war', and only then did he realize that he was not fearless.

But he quickly turned around. After all, he had no choice. The next war would not be changed by his will.

The only thing to do is to welcome and face it!

The ups and downs of emotions are a little fast, just because he has actually been prepared, even if he is a little flustered when he encounters it, it still has some effect in the end.

Reining in his thoughts, taking a deep breath, Xia Shu turned his mouth slightly, looked at Kosuke Maruyoshi beside him, and said, "Senior Gusuke, do you want to have a discussion tomorrow morning?"

Kosuke Maruhoshi was taken aback for a moment, and then, with a kind smile on his face as always, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The next day, the agreed discussion did not turn into reality.

The hot wind was blowing on the top of the city wall, Xia Shu sat cross-legged against the wall, wiping the shiny silver Lanying Knife boredly.

The war is approaching, and the amount of chakra to fill the 'deep pit' will be spent at will, and it will return to [-]%. At this moment, lunch time is coming, so he fills it with chakra. This feeling of emptiness makes him not so comfortable , at least can not help but feel a little tired.

Compared to him, Kuno Heiyu, a rough and nervous guy, is quite lively.

"Xia Shu, let's fight later! I feel that my strength has improved again!" Kuno Heiyu yelled, looking eager to try.

"No!" Natsu Shu refused without hesitation, squinting at Kuno Heiyu.

"Why?!" Kuno Heiyu looked surprised, then raised his eyebrows, and grinned proudly: "Are you afraid?"

"Yes, I'm afraid." The tone was perfunctory and there was no concealment.

Kuno Kuroyu was struck by lightning, Xia Shu was greeted by Maruyoshi Kosuke to eat, he came back to his senses, clenched his fists, stared and shouted: "Wow! You bastard! You are showing that I am not worthy to do it." Is your opponent?!"

After speaking, his cheeks puffed up immediately, with an annoyed and helpless expression on his face.

He shouted at the back of Xia Shu who was anxious to replenish his energy: "I will definitely work hard to make you face me squarely, and then defeat you! Damn it!!"

The yelling was a bit loud, and even the guarding ninjas on the other defense lines looked curiously, but Natsuki didn't hear it, because at this moment, in his head and eyes, there was only the stew in the big iron pot of Kosuke Maruhoshi!

Only delicious food can't live up to it!

He stayed on duty until the afternoon when the hot air was sinking, Hayama Rei's team came to take turns, after a brief handover, Aoki's team withdrew.

Xia Shu didn't go to rest directly, but went straight to the training ground. He was accompanied by Kosuke Maruhoshi, but not only Kosuke Maruhoshi...

"You are so powerful and you work so hard, you really deserve to be Natsuki!"

Kuno Kuroyu also followed.
