Konoha from the Heart

Chapter 142
"squeaky"

The wheels of the carriage made noises, as if they might fall apart at any moment.

A tall woman in front of the carriage was trotting while paying attention to the surrounding situation.

At the back of the carriage, a fat man, a short man, and a boy with a big back were chatting with each other while running.

Among them, the boy with the big back was holding a fat orange cat in his arms, and the fat man was wearing a sweater with a hood, and in the hood, a little fluffy chicken stuck its head out from time to time Chirping twice.

This group of people is naturally Tai Squad and Dr. Nanshan who was escorted by them.

Wurong Town is located to the east of Konoha, more than 300 kilometers away. If ordinary business travelers take the main road, it will take about four or five days.

However, because of the urgency of the epidemic, this group of people hastened up. They set off in the afternoon of the previous day, and now it is three o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, and they are less than ten kilometers away from the destination.

Naturally, there is a price for such a rush, a few ninjas are nothing, the assault training in the past few days is still effective, even Tongwan with the weakest physique feels that this rush is much easier than training.

But the carriage is not good, it is bumpy all the way, if it is not for the quality of the carriage, it is estimated that it has really fallen apart by now.That's not to mention, the horses couldn't stand the continuous driving, if there were no replacement horses in the passing towns, they would probably have to switch to Congxin to pull the cart.

"Boss Congxin, you should be here soon." Tongwan would ask every once in a while, not because he was tired, but because he was bored.

"It's coming soon," Cong Xin replied weakly.

Mastiff said: "Why are you so weak, Congxin, are you dying?"

Cong Xin gave him a blank look with an expression of looking at a fool: "More than a week ago, whoever was driving the road had to be carried on his back."

Mastiff said: "I didn't let people recite it, but those guys insisted on it. What can I do? Besides, if you want people to recite it, they have to be willing."

Tongwan said: "Mastiff, you are going too far. You have said several times along the way that Boss Congxin is getting fat. We are teammates. This is not good."

I was too lazy to answer these words from the heart, and said in my heart that someday I will learn the butterfly transformation technique, and I will become a lightning bolt in minutes, I am so envious of you all.

"Stop" At this moment, the carriage turned a corner, Tai Yi who was running in front of the carriage suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

The young man who was driving hastily tightened the reins, and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.

San Xiao also immediately patrolled around vigilantly, with a look of wariness on his face.

He was relieved when he looked past the carriage and saw the road directly ahead.

It turned out that there was no danger, but a road card was set up about 500 meters ahead.

The group slowed down and walked towards Luka slowly.

When he got closer, he saw two men walking out from behind Luca.

The two were fairly burly, one looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was almost forty.He was wearing Outong's villager costumes, without any obvious ninja props.

The younger man among them stretched out his hand to signal the carriage to stop: "Who are you?"

Tai Yiyi: "We are passing by. Also, who are you and why are you setting up obstacles here? As far as I know, there should be no road cards on this road."

The young man said: "If you are passing by, then you'd better take a detour. The town in front of you is temporarily isolated because of the plague. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter."

Tai Yidao: "We know about the plague, but we came here for this matter. Are you the residents of the town?"

The older man said: "Yes, we are from the town. If I read correctly, you should be Konoha's ninjas. If I remember correctly, the town doesn't seem to have sent an invitation to Konoha."

Tai Yiyi: "We were entrusted by the daimyo to escort the doctor. Dr. Nanshan, you should have heard of it."

Hearing Dr. Nanshan's name, the eyes of the two men showed strange colors.

Soon, the man opened his mouth and said in an excited tone: "It turned out to be Dr. Nanshan. It's great that he finally got him here. Is he in the car? Can we take a look?"

Dr. Nanshan stuck his head out of the carriage and said to the two people outside: "I am Nanshan, please let me go quickly, the epidemic is serious."

The middle-aged man said: "Sorry, Dr. Nanshan, you also know that the plague is very contagious, and I have never seen you before. Do you have anything to prove your identity?"

Nanshan frowned, and took out a scroll from his arms, which was a letter of appointment from the daimyo asking him to come over to deal with the epidemic.

The middle-aged man took the scroll, glanced at it, and said: "If it is Dr. Nanshan, please, Okamoto, quickly remove the roadblock."

"Okay, Uncle Du Lei." The young man named Okamoto immediately ran to Luca and removed the wooden railing.

Seeing this, Taiyi waved his hand, and the carriage slowly moved forward again, passing Luka very quickly. At this time, Du Lei called Taiyi to stop again, and said, "Master Ninja, please register."

As he spoke, he handed out a form.

"Register?"

"Yes, at this time, the mayor ordered that all people who enter must register, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter."

Nan Shan stuck his head out of the carriage again and asked, "Your mayor has done a good job."

Taiyi heard the words, took the form, glanced at it a little, frowned slightly, and soon returned to normal, and then sent everyone a sheet.

Everyone quickly filled it out and returned the form to Du Lei.

Du Lei looked at them one by one, then took out a few more cards from behind, handed out one to each, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go through. This is a pass, and it will be used when entering the town."

Everyone received the pass without delay and continued on their way.

After the carriage passed the next corner and disappeared, Du Lei blew his whistle, and saw an eagle suddenly fall from the sky and land on his shoulder.

He tied the forms filled out by everyone to the eagle's legs, then touched the eagle's head, whispered for a while, and the eagle immediately flapped its wings and disappeared.

After that, the young man called Okamoto said: "Sir, since there is only one Chunin, why don't we just do it directly."

Du Lei said: "You are still too young, haven't you noticed those three young ninjas?"

Okamoto said: "It's just three ninjas, I can deal with it alone."

Du Lei said: "That's Konoha's ninja."

Okamoto said: "What's wrong with Konoha's ninja? I have killed the ninja in the country of water. Is Konoha's ninja even stronger?"

Du Lei said: "The key point is their age"

Okamoto was even more puzzled: "Looking young, at such an age, it shouldn't be long after graduation. I guess I haven't had a life-and-death experience."

Du Lei shook his head and said: "Because it hasn't been long since graduation, you have to be extra careful. According to Konoha's rules, ninjas who have just graduated will be assigned to qualified ninjas to lead the team, at least they are special ninjas."

Okamoto: "Specially a Junin? But, what do you mean, that woman is a Junin? She's so young, she shouldn't be much older than me."

Du Lei said: "This is the foundation of being the No. [-] ninja village in the ninja world. Excellent ninjas emerge in endlessly, but you don't have to be surprised. When the master's plan is completed, the prestige of our Kong Nin will definitely be able to resound throughout the ninja again. boundary."

PS: I just found out that someone gave a reward of 1500 starting coins, thanks to Yang Zhenyu.
