Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

But I didn't bother to guess who the owl was. I was just interested in his swordsmanship and wondered if I could see it on the way.

But I think it is unlikely. If we travel from Konoha to the border of Rain Country at full speed as a ninja, we may arrive there in two or three days.

This time we also have the task of transporting logistical supplies. The speed of the carriage is still slightly inferior to that of the ninja, not to mention that the convoy cannot move in all terrains like the ninja and needs to move along the main road, so there are naturally many detours.

Based on my previous experience in escort missions, a journey that a ninja can cover in two or three days may take a convoy about ten days.

Although the Rain Country has declared war on Konoha, it has not yet launched a large-scale battle. The reconnaissance ninjas and vanguard troops of both sides occasionally clash, but overall it is unlikely to encounter the enemy within Konoha.

Even if we encounter sporadic reconnaissance ninjas, our dozen or so jonin teams, that is, a dozen jonin and dozens of chuunin, are even more powerful than the entire strength of many small ninja villages. No ordinary reconnaissance ninja would dare to provoke us.

According to the instructions of the Anbu Jonin Owl, two ninja teams scouted in front of the team, one ninja team was behind the team to prevent accidents, and the other ninjas surrounded the convoy and followed the convoy to the destination.

As the only young ninja team in the team, we did not receive much preferential treatment. Owl, as an elite Anbu directly under the Hokage, was naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidant, and he also understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention of sending us to the border front of the Rain Country for training and tempering.

In addition to Shinichi and I's bloodline limits, the Byakugan and Sharingan are both famous visual perception abilities in the ninja world, and Minato is also known for his speed, so even though the three of us have just been promoted to Chunin, we have also received the mission of Owl and are one of the two reconnaissance teams in front of the team.

Reconnaissance is also a basic course in the Ninja School. Although the three of us graduated from the Ninja School early, we have not missed out on the knowledge and skills we should have mastered.

If a ninja wants to travel from Konoha to the border of the Land of Rain, he naturally does not need a road. He can cross mountains and wade through water. For a qualified ninja, he is naturally not restricted by the terrain.

But for logistics convoys, a wide and flat road is essential. However, with the relatively primitive infrastructure in the ninja world, there are only real roads between a few major ninja villages and the capital.

The road we are walking on now is the only road leading to the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Earth. In the past, only caravans traveled here, but now it has become much more desolate due to the war.

After we came out of the village, we only saw pedestrians passing by when we were close to Konoha. After leaving Konoha, we didn't meet even a single pedestrian, let alone the caravans traveling between the Rain Country and the Earth Country.

However, we naturally could not let down our guard. After receiving the team's alert mission, the three of us left the team and explored forward in advance.

There were two ninja teams on guard ahead. In addition to the three of us, there was also a ninja team led by a senior ninja from the Ino family, who were checking and guarding the left front of the team.

The three of us headed to the right front of the team, which was about half a day's distance for the convoy to walk. If we found any situation, we could notify the team in time to make adjustments.

However, with my Byakugan detection, I didn't find any ninjas within a one-kilometer radius except for ordinary people gathered in the village beside the road, let alone ninjas from the Rain Country.

After all, we have just left Konoha not far away. The ninjas of the Rain Country are entangled with the Konoha ninjas led by Sensei Jiraiya on the border front and do not have the upper hand. They should not have the spare energy to go deep into the interior of the Fire Country and the vicinity of the Hidden Leaf Village.

After finding that we were about half a day's distance away from the convoy, we stopped moving forward. There was no point in moving too far away from the convoy. After all, no one could guarantee that the place we had searched would be safe if we had been there for too long.

A day passed in a flash, and after it got dark, the three of us stopped exploring forward and leaned on the tree trunks and branches beside the road. Since we had eaten Bingliang Pills before setting out, we replenished some water and then relaxed.

"This mission is different from our previous ones. It has been more than 20 years since the First Ninja World War. I never thought that our generation would encounter war again." Minato sighed.

Although the ninja world has never been truly peaceful, under the system of the five major ninja villages, a war of this level has not occurred for a long time. This time, the leader of the Rain Country, Hanzo Salamander, blatantly declared war on several surrounding major ninja villages, which really shocked many people.

"The battle on the battlefield is different from our usual sparring and fighting, and it's also different from the battles in our previous missions. Even a strong man like the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, died in the previous Ninja World War. We have to be careful." I reminded him softly.
