Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"I have a pass to Konoha Village, so we need to go southeast first and enter the territory of the Land of Fire."

Hair dyeing, disguise...

After confirming that no one was watching nearby, Ye Cang asked the mother and daughter to get into the carriage she had prepared when she was disguising her identity, and then drove all the way to the southeast to the border of the Kingdom of Fire——

Due to the special geographical shape of the Country of Grass, Kusanagi Village is actually much closer to the Country of Earth in the northwest and the Country of Fire in the southeast than most towns in the country.

Just like they are now, driving the carriage to the southeast, if nothing happens, it will only take two days to enter the land of the Fire Country.

It's a pity that when I say this, if there is no accident, there will be an accident soon...

Originally, according to Uzumaki Miyuki, if she had already visited once during the day, at least no one from Kusagakure's ninjas would come looking for her that day!

After all, Caoyin Village also understands the principles of disposable products and sustainable development, and will still let her rest when it's time to rest.

But on the night they left, when they found a house at the outermost edge of the small village along the way to rest, they suddenly saw a group of ninjas with Kusagakure forehead protectors rushing in. Come in,

"Bang bang bang~"

"Open the door!"

"boom!"

"It's broken~"

How can a small door made of ordinary wooden boards withstand the kick of a ninja?

"Old woman~ Hey, did you see two red-haired women, one big and one small, passing by your place?"

Seeing such an arrogant and domineering grass ninja, Ye Cang knew that the old woman who took him in was because of his involvement.

She felt so guilty that she was about to get angry, but who would have thought that the old lady next to her would approach her first, and then she would humbly laugh with these grass ninjas who were even younger than her grandchildren:

"No, Ninja-sama, you have also seen that our family is all women's family, and we lock the door before dark to rest!"

"Um……"

The leading grass ninja was clearly in his late teens or early 20s, but he seemed very at ease with the old woman's compliments.

"Is your family on the carriage outside?"

"Yes, it's from my eldest daughter's house. Her husband died recently, so she asked the younger daughter to take the mother and daughter back to stay for a few days."

As the old woman spoke, she gestured to the Xiang Phosphorus mother and daughter who were standing next to them and looked a little reserved——

Because red hair is too conspicuous, Ye Cang had already prepared black hair dye when he came, and it came in handy now.

"Well, if you see the two women I mentioned later, you must report it to us in time, otherwise your entire village will be treated as harboring criminals. Do you understand?"

The leading Kusanagi glanced at it briefly and then passed.

The hair color was different, and local villagers testified, but they didn't have enough time and energy to investigate carefully one by one.

"Yes, please don't worry, ninja-sama. We are all honest farmers and we will definitely remember your orders, ninja-sama~"

"Well, let's go!"

Then a group of grass ninjas left with a clank, leaving only Ye Cang with a complex expression, watching the old woman tremblingly walk over and pick up the broken door panels.

"Grandma, why did you..."

"Little girl, have you seen how they treat ordinary villagers like us..."

The old woman didn't let Ye Cang finish what she said, but said while cleaning up:

"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know what you have done. I only know that as long as it makes these little bastards unhappy, I will be happy to do it~"

"Anyway, there aren't many people in my family anymore, and I don't even have a few good years to live. If I can disgust them all before I die, don't mention how happy I am now~~~"

Having said this, the old lady raised her head and blinked at Ye Cang. Her playful and funny look seemed to instantly dissipate the tension in the air~

"Ah."

The old man saw it so openly, Ye Cang didn't say anything more——

No matter how much you talk, it is better to put it into action.

So after helping the old lady repair the door, before leaving the next day, I took out some of the cash I had and left it on the bed.

Although it is not a lot, with this money, the old woman's life will definitely be much easier in the future.

And after what happened last night, Ye Cang also knew that Caoyin Village had discovered that Xiang Ling and her daughter had absconded.

But judging from the performance of those grass ninjas last night, the other party probably didn't know that there was a third party beside the mother and daughter.

So before the second night came, seeing that we were not far from the border of the Land of Fire, we simply disposed of the carriage, and then led the mother and daughter with Xiang Phosphorus into the forest between the two countries' borders.

After all, according to normal thinking, who would believe that a helpless woman would dare to take her child into a primeval forest full of poisonous snakes, insects, ants and beasts~

However, it is a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny:

The anomaly in the Country of Grass immediately attracted the attention of the two big countries next to it!

Although there was no major war, the ninja teams stationed on the border between the two countries began to move frequently at almost the same time.

Although the Country of Grass tried their best to explain that they were only arresting defectors, this kind of thing could just be ignored. How could they explain it unilaterally~

As a result, the garrison teams from the two countries began to patrol the border frequently. As a result, Kusanagi Village had to immediately send a corresponding number of teams to the two border areas for "sparring practice."

It just went back and forth like this, and in the end, the defection of Xiang Phosphorus and his daughter became a trivial matter~

'It's already the fifth team...'

On the morning of the third day, Ye Cang, who had been hiding in the tree hole without showing his head, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw the Kusakaku team leaping between the branches.

Seeing that we were about to reach the border, we didn't expect that there would be so many patrol teams overnight!

The most important thing was that it was very windy and chilly at night. Although she was drying him with the Burning Escape, the young and long-term malnourished Xiang Ling still had red cheeks and there were some faint signs of fever.

"..."

Looking at Xiang Ling lying in his mother's arms with a frown on his face, Ye Cang felt that his irritability was getting heavier and heavier.

I originally thought of not causing him any trouble, but now it seems I can only go all the way, otherwise it will only be more troublesome when the fever really breaks out!

"Give her to me."

Looking at Ye Cang, who had his back turned to him, Uzumaki Miyuki hesitated for a moment, and then put the phosphorus on her back.

"Don't go out..."

"?"

Uzumaki Miyuki and Yegura were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xianglan in confusion.

"Xiang Phosphorus, did you just tell us not to go out?"

"Ah."

Xiang Phosphorus's condition was obviously not good, but he still tried hard to open his eyes.

"Outside...something is coming, soon..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Cang was suddenly alert and heard the sound of "tap, tap, tap~" trampling on tree trunks outside!

"!"

This is obviously the sixth patrol team of Caoyin Village!

"..."

It wasn't until the sounds outside gradually faded away that Ye Cang looked at Xiang Lu again with a twinkling look in his eyes:

"The fast ones you just mentioned, are these the people who passed by just now?"

"Hmm~"

"So...what now? Is anyone else coming?"

"..."

Hearing her question, Xiang Phosphorus did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was sensing something. After a while, he saw her shaking her head slightly.

"No one is coming in this direction now, and they are all far away from here~"

'how far? '

Although I wanted to ask this question, seeing her current state, I thought about it and held it back.

The most important thing now is to enter the Land of Fire as soon as possible. Everything else can be left for later.

"Xiang Phosphorus, now we are going to the Fire Country border a few kilometers away. If someone comes over during this process, can you remind me?"

"Ok!"

Looking at Xiang Ling, whose face was getting worse and worse but very determined, Ye Cang was just silent for a moment, and then walked out of the tree hole firmly with her on his back.

Just pass it if you can.

If you can't get through, fight!

Anyway, she had planned to crush him with firepower all the way!

"There are three over there..."

"left……"

"Front……"

However, what shocked her was that following Xiang Lu's command along the way, the journey was actually smooth, and she never encountered the patrol team of Caoyin Village again!

After more than two hours,

When he saw the Fire Nation boundary monument standing in the distance with his own eyes, a realization suddenly flashed through Ye Cang's heart:

Now, she seemed to understand why that brat valued this girl named Xiang Lu so much...
