Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 205 Trip to Sandstone City ([-])

Returning to Konoha and handing over the task, before Xia Shu had time to rest, Minister Anbu sent someone to inform him to go to Anbu Base.

After arriving at the base, Minister An assigned a newest mission to Xia Shu, and with his explanation, Xia Shu finally understood the content of this mission.

"So the mission of our team is to protect Yuma Kobori, the son of Konoha iron ore supplier who was hired by his furious father for molesting his sister, and was going to take back and break his legs as a ninja?"

After learning what happened, Xia Shu was in awe of this mission target whom he had never met before.

However, after listening to Xia Shu's summary, Minister An looked at him with black lines all over his head.

In order to prevent Xia Shu from misunderstanding the mission goal, Minister An quickly explained to Xia Shu: "That's just a superficial statement, but he was actually sent as a representative to contact the iron ore suppliers in the Kingdom of the Wind. High iron ore prices, making a lot of money from Yannin and Yunnin who are still in a state of war."

"Is that so, what a pity..."

After learning the truth, Xia Shu immediately lost interest, (I thought I had met a fellow man—cross out), but I didn’t expect it to be fake, it’s really regrettable...

"All in all, your mission is to protect the safety of Yuma Kobori, and at the same time provide some intelligence and operational assistance for his negotiations. The estimated mission time is half a month, and it may be extended until he signs an agreement with the merchants of the Kingdom of the Wind. Or until the joint plan fails."

Minister An didn't bother about Natsuki's regrets, and handed the mission scroll to Natsuki's hands, and ordered: "Tomorrow morning Kobori Yuma will arrive at Konoha, and then a Konoha team will pick up and protect him on the bright side. The mission, you are responsible for secretly coordinating and ensuring nothing goes wrong."

"I understand, but for intelligence issues, Anbu's support may be needed." Xia Shu nodded to express his understanding, but at the same time, he also put forward his own request.

"No problem, I will order the local secret intelligence personnel to cooperate with you fully."

Minister Anbu did not refuse Xia Shu's reasonable request, and told Xia Shu the local Anbu contact information and password.

"I remember, I promise to complete the task."

After Xia Shu finished speaking, he turned and left Minister Anbu's office, and went to the back of the mountain where Anbu's base was located.

In the mountains at the rear, there are several elite Anbu squads stationed in the original shape, protecting the eagle house in the center where hundreds of ninja eagles are kept in captivity.

After entering the eagle house, Xia Shu took out Minister Anbu's warrant, and ordered Anbu, who was in charge of the communication Ninja Eagle, "Please inform the members of Dragon Squad to gather at the base."

After checking the authenticity of the warrant, Anbu politely said to Xia Shu: "Okay, I will arrange it immediately."

Seeing that the other party began to direct a few Ninja Hawks to send back to the members of his team, Xia Shu thanked him and returned to the dragon team's waiting room to wait.

Ten minutes later, the three of Kakashi came together and rushed to the lounge at the same time.

"I just received a notice that there is a new task. Let's get ready, and gather here tomorrow morning."

Before the three asked questions, Xia Shu explained the reason for calling them in advance.

Mirage may have just taken a shower, his hair was half-dried and damp, and he complained dissatisfiedly: "Captain, didn't we just come back from our mission, and we haven't had time to rest yet, so we have to act again?"

"No way, who made our staff nervous? When the war between Yannin and Yunnin is over and our defense troops stationed at the border return, we will be able to take a good rest then."

Xia Shu was also very helpless, the plan to visit his sister was declared aborted, but for the enthusiasm of the team, he still comforted Mirage.

"Captain, what is the mission?"

Qing Yan did not complain, but was very interested in the task.

"Escort mission, secretly protect the safety of the mission target." Xia Shu explained simply, without telling the truth to the three of them.

Of course, it's not that they don't trust them, but that there are too many people talking, and the more people know, the greater the possibility of accidental exposure.

Once Yan Nin and Yun Nin know about it, they will definitely send someone to obstruct the alliance between the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Wind.

"Understood, if it's okay, I'll go first."

Kakashi didn't ask any further questions. After Natsuki announced his dissolution, he left in the direction of the Konoha Memorial Monument, presumably to mourn Lin and Obito again.

The next day, Kobori Yuma came to Konoha Village accompanied by the butler, and went to the mission office to release the mission.

Half an hour later, a Konoha team took over the mission, escorted the two of them away, and rushed towards the Sandstone City in the Land of Winds.

Natsuki, who was standing far away on the village wall, looked away from Kobori Yuma and his party who were gradually moving away, turned to look at Kakashi, and arranged: "Kuroyuki, you and Qingyan, explore the way in front of them , Mirage and I are responsible for protecting their safety."

"clear."

Kakashi's long silver hair swayed up and down with his nod, and he signaled Qingyan to follow with his eyes, before disappearing in place.

"The captain, I have also acted." After Qingyan finished speaking, he also disappeared and chased after Kakashi.

Xia Shu and Mirage set off together, hanging behind the target party not too far away, using Mirage's detection ability to always be on the lookout for possible enemies.

After driving for half a day, Kobori Yuma and his party rested in a forest and had some lunch by the way.

Seeing this, Xia Shu and Mirage also stopped, took out dry food to satisfy their hunger, and recovered the physical strength and chakra consumed by traveling and scouting.

Suddenly, Mirage's expression froze, and his hands changed, forming a string of strange handprints.

"Captain, there is a group of bandits in the east approaching the target. The leader is a Chunin bandit, and there are five lower-level bandits. Do you need to go to support it?"

After sensing the enemy's whereabouts, Mirage immediately notified Xia Shu of the perceived information, waiting for Xia Shu's instructions.

"No, that team is led by Jonin, and these bandits will not pose a threat to them."

After knowing the strength of the enemy, Natsuki no longer worried. According to the information he got from Minister An, there was one Jōnin and two Chunin protecting Kobori Yuma on the bright side. Ordinary enemies naturally don’t need the help of Natsuki and others. play.

As Xia Shu expected, in just a moment, the leader of the Chunin bandits was beheaded on the spot, and the other bandits also collapsed under the attack of the Konoha guards and scattered.

The bandits' attack was just a small episode during the journey. After all, bandits who can pose a threat to jounin can be regarded as rare. In addition, they are also very smart and will not easily attack the prestigious Konoha, so After a few days of rushing, everyone safely arrived at the Sandstone City of the Land of Winds.
