Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

"Have you left already?"

The tall figure grabbed a person's throat, and his eyes exuded a fascinating glimmer, "It's really troublesome, can't you just stay where you are and wait for me to twist your heads off?"

While speaking, the man broke the neck of the samurai in his hand.

With a plop, the body fell to the ground weakly, with a pair of eyes still retaining the fear before death.

around men,.

A circle of corpses were scattered messily on the ground, and all the originally orderly furnishings in the hall were destroyed.

As he threw away the warrior's body, there were sounds of inhalation coming from around him.

"He probably didn't lie to me."

The man was Kakuzu who had previously obtained the reward order for Ryoko Shinomiya from the underground bounty house.

His eyes darkly glanced at the corpse at his feet, he looked at the remaining warriors around him who were frightened by him, and asked again.

"Sir Shinbei and the others have really left."

A samurai leaning against the wall said tremblingly, fearing that if he answered slowly, he would end up like his companions on the ground.

As subordinates under the general, they should have a strong heart.

However, the enemy's methods are too cruel. If they know how to survive, they can only speak passively.

Anyway, Shi Yuan and others didn't hide it when they left. More specifically, they really didn't know.

Answered Kakuzu's question.

The samurai swallowed his saliva, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and he looked at Kakuzu nervously, and the muscles all over his body were even more tense.

"Well, I don't think you dare to lie to me."

No one else could see Kakuzu's expression.

But judging from the tone of his speech, he definitely had a gloomy and terrifying villain smile at this time.

"I dare not lie to you, Ninja-sama"

Several ninjas around him responded hurriedly, not daring to make the demon in front of him unhappy in the slightest.

Not to mention the several companions who were stubborn and unwilling to speak and were killed by the opponent, let’s talk about the hotel owner who was shot in the head because he was slow to answer at the beginning.

These lessons learned from the past gave the surviving samurai no courage to hide anything.

Although he didn't know the name of the ninja in front of him, the oppressive aura shrouded in darkness was enough to prove that the other party was a powerful ninja.

Kakuzu nodded with satisfaction.

After killing several samurai, the information obtained from their mouths was that the target had left early.

So he didn't doubt it either.

The goal is to go to the Country of Smoke, so he still has a chance to catch up and win the 1000 million tael bounty.

Stride towards the outside.

"A bunch of trash with no bounty"

When Kakuzu left, he did not forget to mock these samurai who were lucky enough to survive.

Hear the words of the enemy.

The faces of these warriors turned green and white.

But no one rushed forward. Instead, he lowered his head even lower, for fear of attracting the man's attention.

The footsteps faded away, and Kakuzu finally left.

The warriors who collapsed on the ground exhaled and glanced at their dead colleagues on the ground with complicated eyes.

"What should we do now"

one of them asked.

He was leaning against a pillar in the hall, with a pool of moisture under his buttocks, but no one laughed at him at this time.

"That guy just now came for Miss Ryoko's bounty. I hope those ninjas from Konoha can stop him."

Another voice replied, and he clenched his hands, looking a little guilty.

"We can't do anything now, and we can't contact Shinbei-sama and the others."

"Hey"

The warriors sighed in unison, looked at each other, and fell speechless.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The convoy of Shi Yuan and others passed through a small town.

But according to the plan, they did not choose to stay there.

After a simple resupply, they were on the road again.

In order to have long nights and dreams, and to prevent things from changing further, Shi Yuan naturally wanted to rush to the Country of Smoke as soon as possible and end this escort.

When I planned to stop and rest, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Shi Yuan indicated that he would come here tonight.

Shinbei skillfully drove the car to a gentle wasteland.

"Senior, give it"

Hayate just returned from exploring the road a few minutes ago.

At this time, he held a few wild fruits in his hand and handed them to Shi Yuan who jumped down from the top of the carriage.

These were all picked by him when he was exploring the road. Although the taste is not very good, it can supplement the vitamins and other things needed by the human body.

Shi Yuan took over: "How is the situation ahead?"

"Nothing unusual. It seems that we can avoid a lot of trouble by choosing a small path."

Hayate answered confidently.

After experiencing what happened before, his attitude towards exploring the road ahead has now become extra cautious, not letting go of any clues.

Shi Yuan nodded slightly but did not speak immediately.

Then he glanced at the Shinbei who was preparing to light a fire over there, as well as Kurenai and Shinomiya Ryoko who got out of the car: "We still can't be careless. Before arriving at the Country of Smoke and handing the client over to the general, we are all On a mission.”

"Well, I have set up a few simple warning traps in front. If anything happens, I will be able to know about it."

Hayate took a bite of the fruit in his hand and answered with a serious face.

"Yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious."

"Then senior, I'll go look around again." Hayate looked around at the extremely dark environment and said softly.

"Okay, then you patrol now and let me keep watch at night."

"clear."

Moonlight Gale activated the teleportation technique and disappeared, and the vague black shadow ran towards the surroundings.

"Shiyuan, here"

As soon as Hayate left, Kurenai on the other side waved to Shiyuan.

Walking over, Shi Yuan found that the three of them were already sitting around the fire, taking out the food they bought in the afternoon.

Putting aside the previous samurai, Shinomiya Ryoko can no longer eat exquisite snacks like before, but only dry food.

Shi Yuan looked at the client sitting next to Hong and said with a smile: "How do you feel? Eat something and go have a rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."

"Fortunately, Shinbei's driving skills are slowly improving."

Shinomiya Ryoko took small bites of the bread in her hand and looked at Shinbei with a smile, who was standing in front of him chewing dried meat.

She told a small joke, which made the somewhat boring evening more interesting.

Over there, when his young lady mentioned him, Shinbei chuckled and said nothing.

Hong handed Shi Yuan some food and pointed to the fire beside him:

"Sit down and warm yourself by the fire."

Shi Yuan took the food and sat down.

Although the temperature is not low during the day, it is still a bit cool at night.

Ryoko Shinomiya suddenly stopped talking: "We should be able to arrive safely tomorrow."

"Why do you say that?"

Shi Yuan was stunned.

"Today, I feel uneasy in my heart, as if something important has happened somewhere that we don't know about."

She continued, then continued eating the bread in her hands.

"It's no problem, miss. Don't worry. With the ninjas of Konoha here, you will definitely reach the general safely."

Shinbei said seriously, "I'm right, Tokimoto-sama?"

He looked at Shi Yuan again, as if to confirm.

"Yes, we will protect you, Miss Shinomiya. But it is normal for you to feel like this. After all, a lot has happened in the past few days, and you will have random thoughts for a while."

"Well, it seems that there is indeed something wrong with my state these past few days."

Shinomiya Ryoko smiled, then hugged her clothes.

Shi Yuan didn't care.

He put the piece of meat in his hand close to the fire, and after feeling the temperature rise a little, he brought it back to his mouth and took a few bites.

"Shinbei said that we are already reaching the border of Grass Country, and we will be able to reach Smoke Country by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Shinomiya Ryoko looked at Shiyuan, the firelight reflected on her cheeks, her expression a little depressed.

The air suddenly became quiet, leaving only the squeaking sound of the fire.

Several other people more or less understood what this young lady was thinking, so they didn't know what to say at this time.

"I'm going to rest. Call me tomorrow morning."

Seeing the reactions of Shiyuan and others, Shinomiya Ryoko quickly calmed down and wiped away the haze that had just stained her face.

"Then you continue to eat."

Kurenai stood up with Shinomiya Ryoko and walked towards the carriage.

"Hey"

When the two returned to the carriage, Shinbei sighed sadly.

"Don't sigh. These things are not something you and I can decide. Eat enough and go to bed early."

"For nobles, it is difficult for them to decide their own marriage. This is the tragedy of being in a big family."

"Since you know everything, why do you still have so many ideas?" Shiyuan ate the delicious meat in his hand and stared at Shinbei.

Shinbei has always been somewhat contradictory in Shiyuan's eyes.

On the one hand, he abides by the general's order and resolutely escorts Shinomiya Ryoko back to the country of smoke; on the other hand, he seems to sympathize with Shinomiya Ryoko's experience.

To put it simply, some people take themselves too seriously and really make things difficult for themselves.

Because of his status, he couldn't change anything.

"With this free time, you might as well think more about how you can take your lady away quickly if you encounter an enemy."

Shi Yuan changed the subject and continued.

"Also, the people from Iwagakure haven't shown up yet, so don't be careless."

"I'm also curious as to why Iwagakure, the master behind him, hasn't taken action. According to the information the general gave me before, the other party has already been in contact with Iwagakure and has definitely received some assistance."

When it came to business, Shinbei put aside his previous complicated emotions.

"Who knows? Don't you have any means of contact with your general?"

Shi Yuan wanted to know the current specific situation of the Country of Smoke, which would be beneficial to his actions tomorrow.

"There were carrier pigeons before, but they were all used up on the way to pick up the lady, so we haven't been able to contact them since we set off from Konoha."

Shinbei was a little ashamed.

For such important things as homing pigeons, the general only gave him a few at that time.

But Shinomiya Ryoko used up all the carrier pigeons in order to ask about her father.

There was no supplement on the road, so naturally there was no way to understand the situation in the Country of Smoke.

"But don't worry, Mr. Shiyuan. According to the general's arrangements, the Country of Smoke must have been controlled by the young lady's fiancé at this time. As long as we enter the Country of Smoke tomorrow, the matter will basically be over."

"I hope that's the case." Shiyuan is naturally willing to see such an ending, but is everything really as simple as Shinbei said?

"At that time, Mr. Yuan, you continue to be busy. I will go down to feed the horses and then rest."

After getting rid of the food in his hand, Shinbei turned and left.
