Kakashi and Tenzo followed the road, walking in the woods on both sides of the road, one on each side.From the sun setting to the moon rising, they finally found the place where Yan Zong's carriage overturned and they were attacked.

"It seems that they were attacked." Tianzang said casually about what he saw.

"Ah, let's check separately." Kakashi said while standing at the scene.After saying that, the two separated.

"Senior, there are 22 people in total. Twenty of them are samurai and two should be robbers." Tenzo said to Kakashi, "In addition, I also discovered this."

Tenzo stood next to the mark left by Kotomune, while Kakashi examined the distance.After returning, he found Tianzang and naturally came to Yan Zong's mark.He squatted down and examined it carefully.

"I went to the distance and found two traces. One was that two people had experienced a fight. The other was the footprints of three people. It seemed that two people were chasing one person and one was fleeing." Kakashi squatted on the ground. Said, "According to the prior arrangement, there are a total of 22 people from the Iron Kingdom. The future head of the Yagyu family is also among them. It is certain that at least he was still alive at that time, and he should be in good condition. The marks on the ground can prove it."

"Well, obviously he asked us to find him." Tianzang said.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two of them followed the mark and checked along the way.Following the markers along the way, the two found the place where the looters were killed.

"This is something strange." Kakashi said.

"Ah, judging from the situation at the scene, at least three waves of people appeared here." Tianzang said, "Yagyu Yanzong seemed to be chasing someone here, and these people died at the hands of another group of people."

"There was a person who stopped here afterwards, as if he was inspecting. After him, Yagyu Yanshu also inspected here."

"Ah, so Yagyu Yanzong chased a plunderer here, but how could that plunderer arrive later than these people? And the delay was quite long, at least after the other group had finished looting Just arrived." Kakashi said after checking, "Look around and see if there are any marks left by Yagyu Konshu."

Yan Zong was walking on the path to the nearest town here. He didn't walk very fast and rested in the wild all night.After he left a mark to show where he was going, he left no more marks.

Yan Zong's breathing was a little heavy. He had been hungry all day.Shinzong didn't give him food, and he didn't know whether Shinzong forgot or deliberately didn't give it to him. After he left, Yanzong realized that he had no food.All their food was placed on the carriage, which was robbed by people hired by Xinzong, and the people hired by Xinzong were robbed by people who didn't know where they came from.

As a result, Yan Zong didn't even have a grain of rice on his body, and his stomach had rang countless times.If Yan Zong hadn't seen the smoke, he would have gone to the woods to hunt some game to eat.

Yan Zong arrived at a village. The village was neither big nor small, with at least twenty houses.It was meal time, and there were only a few men working in front of the house.As soon as Yan Zong entered the village, they found Yan Zong, who was holding a helmet and wearing a warrior's armor.This makes them wary.

Several men picked up the handy things around them and surrounded Yan Zong, while calling out the men in the room.Soon more than forty men, including young and old, surrounded Yan Zong.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A man mustered up the courage to ask Yan Zong.

"I'm starving. Seeing you guys are cooking here, I thought I'd like some food." Yan Zong said calmly, not like a hungry person at all.

"We have no food, please leave." The person who just spoke held up a hoe and said unsteadily.It's like if Yan Zong makes a slight move, he will give Yan Zong a hoe.

"I can buy it," Yan Zong said.

The villagers looked at each other in shock after hearing Yan Zong's words and said they were still willing to buy it.But they couldn't make up their minds, and they were a little scared.The wheat was almost ripe recently, and they heard from people in the next village that a group of bandits had appeared nearby.They were afraid that Yan Zong was sent by bandits to test him. Even though Yan Zong was wearing samurai armor, they had seen samurai armor.

This is the border area between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Iron, and it is not surprising that the villagers have seen warriors wearing armor.

While the villagers were hesitating, an old man came out.The crowd naturally gave way.

"Are you a samurai?" the old man asked Yan Zong, "I am the village chief here."

Yan Zong nodded slightly in affirmation.

"This is the border of the Kingdom of Fire. Why are you here?" The village chief continued to ask Yan Zong.

"The goods I was escorting were robbed, and I followed the robbers all the way here." Yan Zong explained simply. He didn't need to go into so much detail.

The villagers were in an uproar after hearing what Yan Zong said, and they began to discuss what Yan Zong said.The old man looked back at the villagers and said after a moment of silence.

"A group of bandits appeared near here recently. Is it their fault?" the old man said.

"Ordinary bandits are not that capable." Yan Zong smiled disdainfully, "But it cannot be completely ruled out."

"You seem to be very powerful?" The old man saw Yan Zong's confidence from his face.

"It doesn't look like it. I've been encountering setbacks lately, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Yan Zong said with a self-deprecating smile.But he acted very calmly.

"Then what are you here for? There is no one you are looking for here." The old man looked at Yan Zong's face and said.He could tell from Yan Zong's face whether he was lying.

"He's here to beg for food." A villager answered for Yan Zong.The old man looked back at the speaker without showing his dissatisfaction.

"I plan to buy it." Yan Zong explained.Even if it's free, he won't refuse.

"Go to my house. My family cooked more rice today." After the old man said that, he turned around and walked back. Yan Zong glanced at the people around him and followed the old man.

Yan Zong sat at a low table, and the old man sat opposite him.On the right is the old man's son. The old man's daughter-in-law is hiding. They have already eaten.

"About six days ago, people from the next village discovered bandits while cutting firewood on the mountain. They came to notify us, and we collected some money and asked the ninjas of Konoha to help. But the wheat will be ripe in a few days. I guess the bandits will come soon after we cut the wheat." The old man explained to Yan Zong, "But I don't know if Konoha's ninjas will be late or not. The villagers are very scared, so I have no idea for you. Be on guard.”

"Ah, I can see it," Yan Zong said seriously.

"Well, they are afraid that you are someone sent by bandits. Now they regard any stranger as someone from bandits. But bandits will not send people. When the time comes, they will come directly to rob you." The old man used A low, flat voice said.He didn't seem scared at all.

Yan Zong said nothing, waiting for the old man to finish.

"Master Samurai, can you help us?" the old man said, "We will give you 10 taels as a reward."

"Father, where do we have 10 taels?" The old man's son put his hands on the table and shouted to his father.

"Ask the villagers to join in." The old man growled.

"They won't do it anymore. We have already raised a lot of money by hiring ninjas."

"If the ninja comes too late, what's the use of money if everyone dies?" The old man slapped the table and roared.

"This..." The old man's son was speechless.

"Master Warrior, what do you think?" The old man asked Yan Zong's decision.

"10 taels is quite a lot. I still have some left after buying three pigs." Yan Zong said, "No problem. Do you know where the bandits are?"

"You can find it about a day's journey north of the village, along the water source. We have already found the bandit's lair for the ninjas," the old man said.

"Hahaha, the wheat will be harvested in a few days. Which village should we go to first?" A two-meter-tall man said sitting on the floor.

Six bandit leaders and the bandit boss were sitting in the room, surrounding a fire burning in the middle. On the fire was an iron pot with meat stewed in it.There is a jar of wine next to each bandit, and everyone is happily chatting and drinking wine.

"Go to the place with a lot of women first." A shirtless man wearing only a crotch cloth said.

"I can't wait any longer, shall we go grab it now?"

"No, it will alarm them."

"So what if we alert them at this time? Even if they call for ninjas now, it's too late."

"Yes, shall we set off immediately?" said the two-meter-tall man.He is the leader of the bandits.

Yan Zong found a small stream in the north. People can't live without water.According to the village chief, it only took Yanzong a few hours to find the bandit's camp by following the stream.The speed of people who can use chakra is very different from ordinary people.It's even faster than a horse, so ninjas rarely use transportation tools.

"Father, it's hard to get together these 10 taels," said the old man's son.

"Hmph, it's a good thing you didn't say it just now. I know it's hard to get along." The old man snorted and said angrily, "I didn't count it in the first place."

"No?" The old man's son didn't understand.

"If I die, you will also be the village chief. You should be smarter." The old man closed his eyes with a fierce look.

"Now that the ninja is delayed, this samurai can take advantage of it. If he loses, we can still put our hope in the ninja. If he wins, I will tell him that we can't afford that much money. Pretend He looks so pitiful, just give him some to get rid of him."

"Not only that, the reason why I came up with a number that made him excited is that I want him to be obsessed with money and come back directly after completing the task. Then after he leaves, we go to the bandits and kill them After harvesting the campground, they must have a lot of things, and then it will be a real bumper harvest."

The old man said and looked at the wall with a smile, showing a longing expression.He had seen the great harvest.

"What if he fails and the ninja doesn't come?" The old man's son poured cold water on the old man.

"It won't fail. That guy's attitude towards bandits is completely contemptuous." The old man looked at the air and said coldly, "It's like asking you to beat up a group of children. Will you take them seriously?"

"will not."

"I can't see the importance he attaches to the bandits from his face. Even if he doesn't go looking for the bandits, if he is not strong enough, he will react when he hears the bandits. If he is strong enough, there is no reason for him not to earn this Where’s the money?”
