Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 22
The Sunset Canyon in the north of the Country of Tea is the only passage from the Country of Tea to the Country of Fire. There are countless caravans here all the year round, bringing their respective specialties of tea and fire to the other country for sale.

In this long and narrow canyon, I don't know how many caravans and ninjas are buried here.

It was raining lightly, and the thin drizzle slapped the tree trunks on both sides of the canyon.

Lan and Zhujian walked above the canyon, and the two continued to move forward along the mountain range.

During the jump, Lan could hear the conversations of businessmen in the canyon from time to time, they were talking about the prices of various places in order to obtain higher profits.

The rain had already soaked the clothes of Lan and Zhujian, and their clothes were almost sticking to their bodies.

Lan frowned and stretched out his hand to wipe the water from his face, stopped on the tree, turned around and said to the energetic Hashirama: "Let's go down and find a place to shelter from the rain, the rain will probably get heavier in a while. "

Hearing the words, Zhu Jian stopped, looked up at the gloomy sky, then wiped off the rain and said, "Okay, then go down and find a caravan with a carriage."

"it is good."

Lan replied, then jumped to the side of the canyon, lowered his head to look at the valley, and just stretched out his head, Lan saw a ball of fire flickering in the valley.

Due to the impact of the rain, Lan could barely see the fire, but there was fire below. It seemed that there should be a caravan there.

Although he didn't understand why the caravan stopped, Lan didn't have time to think about it so much. After turning around and telling Hashirama, Lan picked up Chakra and ran down the cliff.

Seeing Lan going down, Hashirama got up and followed after shaking her hair.

Stepping on the rocks all the way, it didn't take long for the two of them to fall to the bottom of the valley.

Lan put his hands on the grass, stood up, and walked quickly with Xiaobu Hashirama towards the place where the light was shining.

After getting closer, Lan finally saw what was going on. It turned out that there were many large and small caves on both sides of this valley, and the light he saw was reflected from those caves.

He and Zhujian looked at each other, and Lan strode ahead, followed by Zhujian. Both of them had made the imprint of the substitute technique, and if there was a crisis, they could get out quickly.

Slowly, Lan walked to the bottom of the rock, and before Lan could ask any questions, a masked ninja with a ninja knife rushed out of the cave.

Judging from her attire, she should be a female ninja, probably at the peak of Chunin.

The female ninja felt that Lan was looking at her, and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction and scolded: "Ruolite!"

Hearing her scolding herself, Lan knew that her petty actions had been noticed by others, so she hurriedly took a step back, and after standing still, Lan bowed down and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was a little rude just now, please don't mind me."

"Huh!" The female ninja snorted, she didn't want to have too much interaction with outsiders at this time, she squinted her blue eyes and looked at Lan, and after confirming that Lan's strength was inferior to hers, she turned her eyes He threw himself into the column room that had just walked under the rock.

Before Chuck was stretched over, the female ninja felt a huge pressure, which was the unique coercion of the strong.

Feeling the coercion, the female ninja clenched the ninja knife in her hand vigilantly. Damn it, how could there be a ninja here? Could it be that they are ninjas hired by the Kawa no Ninja...

When the female ninja couldn't figure out the purpose of Lan and Zhujian's visit, Lan straightened up and introduced: "Under Yueying Lan, I found that there was a fire here when I was at the top of the valley, so I want to come down to shelter from the rain. If it is suitable, Can you let me and my master go in?"

"No." The female ninja resolutely rejected Lan's request. After looking vigilantly at Hashirama like a scourge, she softened her voice and said, "Go to other places, it's not very convenient here. If you need to do something If you want firewood, I can provide you with some."

Lan was already planning to leave when the female ninja refused. Hearing the soft words behind her, she must be afraid of causing trouble. Lan is not the kind of person who willfully stir up trouble, so after shaking her head and rejecting the female ninja's kindness, she and Hashirama turned his head and ran towards another cave that was closest to here.

Watching Lan and Zhujian disappear into the rain, the female ninja was relieved. Just as she was about to put away her ninja sword, a girl with luxurious clothes and a delicate expression walked out of the cave. age.

Dressed in a white ferret fur, the girl walked up to the female ninja, and coughed softly while clutching her tender little fists.

Hearing the sound of coughing, the female ninja turned her head quickly, and when she saw the girl, she blamed her with concern and respect: "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to hide inside? What are you doing when you come out? What if you touch her?" What about those ninjas!"

"Ahem——" the girl coughed with a blushing face, then brushed her long pink hair and said, "I'm just a little worried about you, so..."

"What a bastard! Worried about what I do, remember, in this world, the only thing you can worry about is yourself and our great cause of restoring the country. Those damned nobles of the river country violated the experiment just to get out of the sea. Annexed us, if not..."

When the female ninja said this, a trace of sadness appeared on the girl's face. Seeing the girl's sadness, the female ninja stopped, lowered her head and sighed, and the female ninja inserted the ninja sword into the scabbard on her back and supported it. As the girl walked in, she persuaded: "Don't be sad, believe me, I will definitely support you to restore the country, let's go to Konoha to send missions after the rain stops, I believe, with the help of Konoha, We will definitely return to our country!"

The girl stopped suddenly when she heard the words, she turned her head, bit her lip and hesitated, then said with red eyes and trembling: "I...I don't want to return to the country..."

"What? You don't want to restore the country! Why don't you want to? Don't forget how the princess died. If I didn't wake up that night, I'm afraid we would all be killed by the damn river country. From now on I Don't listen to what you say, but know that your people are looking forward to your return all the time, you must return to the country, you must return!" The female ninja's voice became louder and louder, and so did the sound of the rain.

The girl looked at the female ninja who was becoming more and more ferocious in fear. Just when she couldn't help crying, the female ninja changed her tone again. After she sighed, she let go of the girl and motioned for her to go in first.

Seeing the ninja let go, the girl ran in with red eyes.

Not long after she ran in, the female ninja squatted on the ground as if she had lost her support and cried softly.

At the moment when the female ninja was crying, the two crisp green grasses suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, Hashirama and Lan, who were sitting in another cave warming up by the fire, couldn't help opening their eyes at the same time.

After Hashirama opened his eyes, he calmly picked up the instant ramen that Lan bought from the system, poured it in freshly boiled hot water and soaked it.

Lan, on the other hand, stared blankly at the bonfire with a heavy heart, thinking that the female ninja was hiding some secret, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be a subjugated ninja protecting the country.

Looking at the sparks dancing because of the split branches, Lan couldn't help lowering his head and sighing.

Hearing the sigh, Zhujian raised his head, and seeing Lan sympathizing with the female ninja, he couldn't help but comforted him: "Okay, don't sigh there, you just need to get used to this kind of thing, remember In the past, I often encountered this kind of thing. Every day, some nobles who had lost their country would come to the door of our Thousand Hands Clan and beg us to help them restore their country. At the beginning, my brother and I helped a few, but after a while, their country In this world, the weak will be eliminated, and only the strong will exist forever."

"Huh—" Lan took a long breath, turned his head to the entrance of the cave, and watched the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, Lan's heart became more and more complicated.

Seeing Lan like this, Hashirama didn't know whether he understood what he meant, and after shaking his head with a wry smile, Hashirama took the soaked instant ramen and swallowed it with chopsticks.

For a while, the sound of sucking between the pillars could be heard throughout the cave.

After looking outside the cave for a while, Lan turned on the system casually, opened the material interface, glanced around and exchanged for a chicken, and after inserting the wooden thorns summoned by the chicken cutting technique, Lan put it Put it on the campfire and slowly roast it.

With constant tumbling, the roasted chicken soon gave off an aroma. Smelling the aroma of the meat, Lan took out salt and sprinkled some on it. They ate up.

The rain was still falling, beside Lan who was eating roast chicken, besides the sound of the rain, he could also faintly hear the sound of crying and choking.

Not only is it raining here, but the entire country of fire and the country of tea is raining at this moment.

In Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, two women holding umbrellas are walking on the deserted streets.

One of the younger women holding the little fragrant pig walked for a while, then ran to the blond woman in the green gambling robe in front and asked, "Master Tsunade, aren't we going to find Master Hokage?" , why don't you go to Hokage's office."

Tsunade stopped when he heard the voice, looked back at the woman, and said: "Who said I'm going to find that old guy, I don't want to see that damn old man, I finally went back to Konoha, I Must have fun."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade turned her head away, and when she was about to move forward, she couldn't help but stop again, and after turning around with a smile on her face, she went to the woman and put her arms around her neck and said, "Okay Mu Yin, don't worry, even if I don't go to see him, the old man will come to see me after I play in the casino."

Just as he was speaking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi appeared in front of Tsunade wearing a red Hokage hat.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade slowly released the mute, stared at him and said angrily: "You damn old guy, you are spying on Konoha again, tell me, what can you do with me?"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Hirizhan grinned as if he was a lot younger, and said, "Lu Jiu found traces of Lan and the Senshou clan in the country of tea."

"The country of tea...that's pretty close." Tsunade squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Well, it's quite close, but they seem to have left the country of tea again, and it's not clear where they are going." Ri Zhan added.

"Unclear?" Tsunade opened her eyes wide and looked at Hirizhan. After a few glances, she eased her tone and said, "Okay, I understand. Since it's not clear, I'll continue to track it down. Mute, let's go."

After Tsunade finished speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

Seeing that Tsunade was about to leave, Hirizhan pretended to have little time and asked, "Do you still want to leave here? Can't you stay? I'm old, and I need someone to sit in the seat of Hokage...cough cough--"

Tsunade stopped when he heard the sound of coughing, and after standing for a long time, he and Shizune disappeared into the rain.

Seeing Tsunade leaving again, Hirazan couldn't help but sighed.

The rain was still falling, and the bean-sized raindrops kept beating the leaves.
