Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

The next day, when the sky was just getting light, Shi Yuan opened his eyes.

After hearing the noise outside, he did not go out immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out a scroll and began to study it.

This is not one of the scrolls left by Shen Nong, but a collection of shadow clone spells that Shi Yuan had previously obtained from the Third Generation.

The shadow clone technique is a very powerful and weird ninjutsu.

Although the art of multiple shadow clones is defined as a forbidden art and is banned in Konoha's Book of Sealing, Shigen still needs to use the related art because of his relationship with the third generation.

His purpose at this time is not to practice this ninjutsu, but to find what he needs from this ninjutsu.

Moreover, it is not surprising that he can master the art of shadow clones very quickly as long as he knows a few steps of the art of multiple shadow clones.

Shadow clone.

In essence, it is to split the human consciousness into parts, and then form another independent body with the blessing of chakra.

Of course, if the clone's consciousness is severely damaged, it will automatically return to the large cluster of the original consciousness, and then feed back all the information in the consciousness.

Shi Yuan is very interested in this, and he also has some ideas of his own, but the premise is that a series of magic techniques related to shadow clones need to be used as the basis.

Half an hour later, the commotion outside became louder, and it was time to set off.

Shi Yuan loaded the scroll and immediately pushed the door open and walked out.

Yamamoto Ichiro was instructing the guards to make some preparations. When he saw Shiyuan coming downstairs, he said hello with a puffy stomach.

"Tokigenjounin, you're awake. If you need to have breakfast, the table over there is ready for you. You can leave at any time after we finish here."

"Okay, call me when we set off."

Shi Yuan glanced at the carriage containing the goods and the seven or eight guards, walked to the table and started eating.

After dinner, the group set off.

The caravan only had the cargo of two carriages in total, but judging from the way the wheels pressed against the ground, there was quite a lot of stuff.

The seven or eight guards, including Shi Yuan, were inconspicuous on the road.

Along the way, Shi Yuan was very vigilant and prepared for accidents.

Since he discovered that he lacked sensory ninjutsu during his last mission, Shiyuan approached the third generation when he returned to the village.

The Sandai didn't say anything, and just threw him a ninjutsu with good attributes.

The art of chakra sensing.

This ninjutsu is very simple, and it only took Shiyuan two days to basically master the operation of the entire ninjutsu.

After learning this ninjutsu, Shiyuan is no longer afraid of being caught in a dark situation when going on a mission.

Sitting on the cargo box, Shi Yuan once again activated the art of chakra perception, so a radius of 2000 meters fell into his perception.

As long as there is chakra, or a living creature with obvious chakra activity, it will arouse his consciousness and leave an impression on his brain.

"It's really calm!"

After activating his ninjutsu to sense his surroundings, Shiyuan sighed softly.

Every five minutes, he would use ninjutsu to simply perceive the surrounding situation, but nothing unusual happened along the way.

This special Jonin hired for an A-level mission seemed to be just for an outing and had no use at all.

Shi Yuan felt a little uneasy about working with a salary, but he also felt a little weird in his heart.

"Tokigenjounin, do you want to come over to rest and have something to eat?"

Yamamoto Ichiro, who was in the carriage behind, waved to Shiyuan with a relaxed look on his face, as if he really paid to invite Shiyuan out for an outing from Konoha.

"No, Mr. Yamamoto, please eat it yourself."

Facing Yamamoto Ichiro's invitation, Shi Yuan refused without hesitation.

Although there is no danger at present, there is no guarantee when an accident will occur, so it is difficult for him to relax before reaching his goal.

Yamamoto Ichiro smiled and then ate alone and comfortably.

Time passed leisurely like this.

Two days later, the convoy arrived at the border of the Land of Fire and the border of the Land of Sichuan.

"Everyone, please be careful. We will directly enter the territory of the Kingdom of Sichuan. However, the area there is quite chaotic, and there may be some unsighted guys who will take action against us."

Yamamoto Ichiro shouted loudly, and the sound reached everyone's ears at the front and back of the convoy. The guards straightened their bodies and their faces became more cautious.

"Tokigenjounin, please be careful. The front is the place where enemies are most likely to appear."

After explaining it to the guards, Yamamoto Ichiro came to Shiyuan again to remind him.

Shi Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yamamoto Ichiro in front of him with some surprise.

This was the first time that the other party showed nervousness, which was completely different from his attitude in the previous two days.

Moreover, this kind of reminder is really too straightforward, and it even clearly tells Shi Yuan that there is an ambush ahead.

This was abnormal, and even a signal that Shi Yuan felt was dangerous.

Thinking of this, Shi Yuan's face looked a little bad, and he clearly showed a trace of anger: "Mr. Yamamoto, have you concealed any key information from me? From the beginning, although your attitude was good, you were always secretive. Be completely honest with me, Konoha can give you friendship, but it can also kill enemies with ill intentions!"

Shiyuan's body stood up slightly, and an invisible force pressed towards Yamamoto Ichiro in front of him, and the air seemed to condense in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Yamamoto Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his performance was indeed very different from before.

It feels like I've used too much force!

But this is not his fault. He is actually afraid that the stability of the previous two days will paralyze the time source at this time, making him appear careless before the danger actually arrives.

Although he had good intentions, such behavior seemed extremely weird and dangerous to Shi Yuan.

Because Yamamoto Ichiro did not explain everything to Shiyuan, there was a gap in the intelligence between the two.

And this gap also caused Shiyuan to show his distrust of teammate Yamamoto Ichiro at this time.

Sighing, Yamamoto Ichiro lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, Tokimoto Jounin, I have no ill intentions towards Konoha and your Excellency, it's just..."

"Then please explain, I'm not a person who likes to be deceived that much."

Shiyuan did not withdraw the momentum from his body, but it became more and more intense, and clear drops of sweat appeared on Ichiro Nakamoto's forehead.

He doesn't like to pry into other people's secrets, but when other people's secrets become something that threatens him, he doesn't mind finding out everything.In other words, others can deceive, but they must not cause harm to him. Otherwise, Sarutobi Tokigen is not without temper and means!

"Tokigenjounin, I'm just a businessman, I..."

The pressure Shiyuan put on him in an instant was too great. Yamamoto Ichiro felt like a sailboat drifting with the waves in the ocean, and would be swallowed up by the rough waves at any time. He seemed a little panicked. He took out his handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat on his face. .

However, what he wanted to say was another lie.

"No, you are still a ninja! Mr. Yamamoto, although there is no precedent for Konoha's ninjas to take action against their clients, if you are still so unwilling to tell your true purpose, I may not care about those rules."

Shiyuan's voice became even colder, and Yamamoto Ichiro's movement to speak instantly froze.

Sure enough, using lies to cover up another lie will only make the lies continue.

The look in Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes dimmed, and he began to organize words in his heart.

If the ninjas of Konoha knew that he hired him through deception, they would not only take action angrily, but at least they would abort this mission.

In fact, when he first discovered that Yamamoto Ichiro was a ninja, Tokimoto didn't care.

But now, when the other party suddenly said something strange like there would be an attacker in such a place, he felt that things were not that simple.

Therefore, he needs to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, that is, he hopes that Yamamoto Ichiro will be honest with himself.

After a few days of getting along, he was convinced that the other party had no ill intentions, but the feeling of being deceived and out of his control was a bit unpleasant.

"Tokigenjounin, I didn't hide all this on purpose. Please listen to my explanation."

Yamamoto Ichiro's face turned pale, and he felt that Shiyuan was really angry.

Shi Yuan said nothing, staring at Yamamoto Ichiro with his eyes, waiting for him to explain.

"As the Tokigenjounin said, I am a ninja. However, I did not hide this from Konoha. The Third Hokage should know all this, but my general external performance is just that of a businessman. As for my The purpose is actually..."

"You just want to borrow my hand to help you get rid of the upcoming enemies?"

Shi Yuan answered quickly, his eyes calm and unruffled.

Yamamoto Ichiro was shocked: "You...how did you know?!"

"It's obviously just a B-level escort mission, but I have to pay more money to upgrade it to A. In addition to the two trucks of ore, I also want to get at least a jounin-level help."

Shiyuan said softly, and Yamamoto Ichiro lowered his head and acquiesced to everything.

"Yes."

Yamamoto Ichiro's attitude still made Shiyuan very satisfied, so he added: "Konoha is not your tool to seek revenge. No matter what your reasons are, I hope there will be no next time."

Yamamoto Ichiro seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

"I didn't expect that Tokigenjounin could basically deduce everything based on such a little information. Because Konoha has not accepted the task of fighting against ninjas from other countries in recent times, I had no choice but to make this move. I hope Tokigenjounin can understanding!"

After saying that, Yamamoto Ichiro bent down to Shiyuan and couldn't stand for a long time.

Shiyuan nodded slightly. In these troubled times, Konoha really has no intention of taking on such a task.

It is better to do less than to do more. This is the current situation in Konoha.

However, if a hostile force takes action during the mission and he kills it, that would be a different story.

Now this is a mission similar to the first mission of Team [-], in that the client has something to hide from the ninja.

"Then, since it is your own personal grudge, let you resolve it yourself!"

Shi Yuan looked at Yamamoto Ichiro coldly. No matter what the reason was, the behavior of deceiving a ninja was infuriating, so he felt that he should teach the other party a lesson!

"This……"

Yamamoto Ichiro swallowed his saliva. If Shiyuan didn't take action, his attempt to lure a snake out of its hole would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

But Shiyuan didn't take action, but it was reasonable. He had no right to order a Konoha Jonin to work for him.

"What's the problem?" Shi Yuan asked knowingly, with a smile in his eyes. Before deceiving others, he finally thought about the consequences of being found out.

"Jōnin Tokigen, I...how can I get your help?"

Yamamoto Ichiro noticed a glint in Shiyuan's eyes, as if he had grasped the last hope, and asked hurriedly.

"Is there anything you can do for me?"

Shi Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Me and my caravan! As long as Tokigenjounin takes action to kill the enemy for me, I am willing to give everything!"

Yamamoto Ichiro looked at Shiyuan with a serious face and eyes full of hatred.

Shi Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would actually promise such a heavy report just for a "mere" current matter.

"Who is your enemy?"

"We were originally business partners, but a few months ago we fell out and became enemies."

Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes became sad.

"As long as the Tokigenjounin helps me kill the enemy, I will do what I say and risk the glory of the Yamamoto family!"

Finally, he looked at Shi Yuan with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

In this case, he has no choice!

Shi Yuan took a deep look at Yamamoto Ichiro in front of him, his face was calm, and he was lost in thought.

If you can really get the support of Yamamoto Ichiro with one shot, it seems to be a big profit option.

Yamamoto Ichiro's caravan seems to have great influence in the Kawa Country. Although there is still a gap compared with the consortium, it is much more powerful than ordinary families.

Although Tokiyuan did not have the support of the Sarutobi family, sometimes, certain things were not suitable to be confessed to them.

Besides, he is not the only ninja in the Sarutobi clan who needs training.

So, wouldn't it be a good choice to build some of your own power outside the village?

Shiyuan stared into Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes, confirming the other party's sincerity.

"My mission is to protect the safety of the client and the goods. If there are enemies who want to kill people and rob goods, I will take action!"

Calm words came out of Shiyuan's mouth, and the hope in Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes quickly amplified.

"The places we passed yesterday were not without suitable places for ambush, but you always had a relaxed look on your face, but now you are showing nervousness, as if there must be an ambush, so do you have an informant among the enemies? "

He then continued to ask Yamamoto Ichiro.

"One of my men has been hiding among them, so their movements are always under my control."

"Then tell me the situation. It might be useful when we meet later."

Shiyuan looked away from Yamamoto Ichiro and looked forward, his tone calm.

"The news that I am returning to the Kingdom of Kawa this time was specially revealed to let the enemy know. He is a jounin, and there is also a chuunin companion and five subordinates with genin strength. My internal intelligence is that One of the five genin, my feud with him will only end when one of us dies!"

"Well, then I'll take care of the jounin and chuunin later, and you can take care of the genin. Is that okay?"

Shiyuan said to Yamamoto Ichiro, feeling relatively relaxed.

Now as long as he stays at the Kage level, he feels that he still has the capital to run rampant in the ninja world. Of course, the premise is that he will not encounter any obstacles, such as genin defeating the Kage level or genin saving the world.

"Thank you Tokimoto Jounin."

Yamamoto Ichiro said to Shiyuan with a grateful face, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

As long as the Tokigenjounin in front of him takes action, he feels that this time's attempt to lure the snake out of the cave will be successful. Although his enemy is also a jounin, the half-hearted jounin from the small ninja village can compete with Sarutobi Tokigen, who is currently the most popular in the ninja world. Compare?

"I hope everything you said is true. The patience and trust of Konoha ninjas are limited."

Feeling the calm chakra fluctuations in Yamamoto Ichiro's body, Shiyuan was sure that the other party did not continue to lie.

So after saying the next sentence, he stopped talking to Yamamoto Ichiro, and began to devote his attention to being vigilant about his surroundings.

"Please believe me, Shigenjounin, I have no reason to continue to hide it. This is the dignity of the Yamamoto family!"

Yamamoto Ichiro said solemnly, then bowed towards Shiyuan again, and then turned around and returned to his position.

'Harm, I hope I didn't make the wrong choice. '

Squinting his eyes and looking forward, the art of chakra perception slowly started.

The ninja world is a world of cannibals, and sometimes trust in such things is worthless.

People in the same village are sometimes not trustworthy, let alone people from other villages who are the first to contact them.

The client lied about the mission, and the ninja was qualified to declare the mission null and void, but his confidence in his strength made Shiyuan choose to continue, not to mention that he was a little greedy for the reward Yamamoto Ichiro promised.

Sitting silently on the cargo, Shiyuan followed the convoy and began to enter the place Yamamoto Ichiro said.

This is a small forest, very quiet, and everything seems to be falling asleep under the influence of something.

At this time, Shi Yuan's eyes suddenly widened and he loudly reminded the surrounding guards: "There is an ambush, prepare to fight!"

Everyone in the motorcade showed solemn expressions.

Yamamoto Ichiro's slightly bloated body also deftly landed next to Shiyuan at this time.

"Master Shiyuan, is the other party nearby?"

Unconsciously, his name for Shi Yuan had changed.As for the location of the enemy, although his informant told him that it was at the junction of the two countries, the exact location was unknown.

"Ah."

Shi Yuan looked around. Covered by the art of chakra perception, the enemy was like a firefly in the dark night, eye-catching and with nowhere to hide!

Loudly!

The guards drew their weapons and looked in all directions warily. They gathered around the carriage, obviously well-trained.

"Tsk, tsk! Yamamoto Ichiro, where did you find this kid? His perception is quite keen, but I don't know what his strength is?"

The enemy didn't seem to intend to hide any longer, and jumped out from behind a tree not far away, directly surrounding the convoy in the middle.

The one who spoke was the one-eyed ninja in the lead.

"Fang Xin, it is indeed you! How dare you appear in front of me!"

Yamamoto Ichiro took a step forward and looked at the jounin with burning eyes, a ferocious expression on his face.

"Knowing that you are planning to return to the Kingdom of Sichuan, how could I not come to greet you, my dear friend!"

Bo Nobu looked at Yamamoto Ichiro, his face full of ridicule.

"You bastard!"

"Hey, are you angry? You weren't so confident when you escaped with your tail between your legs. Is it because of the ninja next to you? He is so young, are you sure he is my opponent?"

Fangxin burst into laughter, and several ninjas standing next to him also laughed, and laughter covered everything for a moment.

"Isn't it funny?!"

Yamamoto Ichiro had a cold expression on his face, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
