Naruto's Destiny and Future

Soon, Ningji and his party came to the agreed place chatting and laughing. From a distance, they saw a group of carriages saluting and a large group of people, men and women, old and young, drinking tea, chatting and playing around. .

There is also a group of rhinoceros and ostriches, wandering around leisurely, eating grass and resting. Apparently they are used to pull carts.

Seeing this scene, Tiantian immediately exclaimed, "Our employer this time won't be from the circus, right?"

"Oh, it's very possible." Xiao Li's eyes were shining with excitement.

"It looks a bit similar, but it seems like something is missing?" Yakumo is more rational, and he can tell at a glance that something is missing.

"It's missing a few bells and whistles and props." Neji analyzed rationally and continued: "And generally, circuses don't just use rhinos and ostriches. There must be several more animals, especially monkeys, which are essential."

However, facing Neci's well-founded analysis, Tiantian and Xiao Li turned a deaf ear to the excitement and ran towards the ostrich and rhinoceros.

Only Yakumo seemed a little calm and asked curiously: "Then what do they do?"

Facing the only audience, Neji said seriously: "If I guessed correctly, this should be a group of merchants!"

As several people approached, an old man wearing a hat, rosacea, and a three-part beard walked out of the caravan. Judging from his hazy appearance, it was clear that he was a drunkard who hoped to stay drunk forever.

"How many of you, I am the captain of this caravan, He Yan, I don't know how many of you..."

Kai immediately stepped forward and said: "Hello, Mr. He Yan, we are Konoha ninjas who have accepted your employment mission. I am Matt Kai. These are my team members, Tiantian, Li, Neji and Yakumo.”

Following Kai's introduction, everyone nodded in response, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Hello everyone, I didn't expect Konoha to be so efficient. Not long after I released the mission, you guys came. I thought I had to wait until the afternoon." He Yan glanced at several people one by one with his hazy eyes. He nodded with great satisfaction.

Hearing the compliment, Kai shyly scratched his head and replied with a smile: "Well...it's just a coincidence."

He Yan didn't pay attention. He took a few people and briefly introduced the situation of the caravan, then asked everyone to pack their luggage and get ready to go on the road.

This trip is from Konoha to the south coast of Kawa no Kuni, close to the Country of Wind. The roads along the way are rugged, complicated and changeable. It is expected to take at least ten days, so you have to hurry up.

Following He Yan's command, everyone packed their bags in an orderly manner, and in a short time they were all packed and ready to go.

Neji and the others kept patrolling the surroundings, not only scouting for enemies but also inspecting the caravan.

Of course, this is near Konoha, and the probability of enemies appearing is extremely slim, so the most important thing is to examine the caravan.

Although he is an employer, he does not rule out the possibility of the enemy being patient and deliberately luring the enemy.

Although they have never encountered this kind of thing, they have heard of it. There have been several such incidents in Konoha. Several teams took over the mission, and then when they arrived at the predetermined location, they were annihilated by the sudden outbreak of the employer and foreign enemies. Instead of just one person escaping, there will probably be several more waves of victims.

Therefore, ninja is a high-risk profession, so you must always be careful.

Neji observed for a while and found nothing unusual. Whether it was his speech or behavior, he looked like the kind of person who travels frequently.

"Gather, let's go!" Kai called the team members, getting ready to go.

"Okay, here we come!" Neji replied, and then he exchanged glances with several people without leaving a trace, and nodded.

As several people confirmed each other, the suspicion of this caravan was temporarily eliminated. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being careful, and you still have to be careful.

A few days later, the caravan was close to the border of Kawa Country, and Neji and the others had become familiar with the caravan.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Neji asked He Yan curiously: "Captain He Yan, there is something I have been wanting to ask..."

He Yan raised his hazy eyes and glanced at Ningji who was hesitant to speak. Then he took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just ask me. Don't worry about my mother-in-law. He looks like a handsome young man." , why can’t you be as happy as an old man like me?”

"Uh~" Ningci was startled by what he said, and said with some embarrassment: "You don't want to listen to what I have to say. After these days of observation, I found that your caravan seems to be ordinary people, and they all have their families. There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom, so that merchants are not afraid... You must know that the ninja world is very uneven, and any ninja may..."

Hearing this, He Yan put down the flask and sighed and said: "We know this. Since the demise of our country, we have become wandering people, living everywhere and supporting our families by doing some business along the way. We also thought Find a place to settle, but where in the ninja world is safe? To be honest, over the years, we have seen too many villages destroyed."

At this point, He Yan's tone was full of endless vicissitudes and emotions, and then he took two more sips of wine and continued: "Later we found that doing business is safer than settling down in some circumstances, and settling down may not happen anytime." We were wiped out by passing ninjas, but as merchants we can go to safe places, such as ninja villages, big cities, near Daming Mansion... etc. These places are relatively safe, and some ninjas are hired along the way, so there are almost no Danger."

Neji was filled with emotion for a moment. Dragons have dragon ways, rats have rat ways. In this war-torn ninja world, the group of people in front of them have obviously summed up their own way of survival, but it sounds a bit overwhelming. Sad.

Just when everyone was sighing, Tiantian asked curiously: "You just mentioned your country? Which country is that? As far as I know, in the past hundred years, there seems to be only the Kingdom of Whirlpool... Could it be..."

"No, that happened a long time ago. Due to some reasons, the country was destroyed. Later, our ancestors became wandering people, and one of them went to the other side of the sea."

"The other side of the sea??" After hearing the new things, Kai and Xiao Li were instantly interested.

"Yes, it is said that it is a new continent and there are no ninjas."

Several people exclaimed for a while, and Yakumo asked yearningly: "Does the new continent really exist? There are no ninjas? Does that mean there are no fights and it is peaceful and happy there?"

Hearing this, Neci shook his head lightly. Peace, how could it be possible? Where there are people, there are fights, but in different ways.

Looking at a few pairs of eyes seeking knowledge, He Yan became more and more addicted to talking. People like to tell stories when they are old, and they miss the vicissitudes of the past. It is even rarer to have such a few listeners, who drank a lot of wine and filled the appetites of several people. Then he continued: "The mainland is real. They were here two years ago. It was just peaceful... There is a raging war there now."
