After confirming that the samurai had left, Aoki asked, "Why are you here?"

"Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, Genma-sensei guessed that you should have encountered some unexpected situation, so let me pick you up. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sota explained.

"It's a situation," Aoki nodded: "You lead the way, let's go back quickly, there is some special information that needs to be reported." ”

Ishihara nodded, then jumped onto a tree branch not far away, Aoki followed closely behind, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

According to common sense, it is not advisable to rush after dark, but after hearing the news that there may be robbers nearby, Yamamoto, the client of this mission, ordered the convoy to rush overnight to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and Genma was not good at disobeying the will of the client, so he had to agree, but the vision at night was not good, and the speed of the convoy was only one-third of that of the day.

At this time, Hinata Crescent Moon, who was sitting in the carriage, had opened her eyes to the maximum, and kept looking at the back of the convoy all the time, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of the convoy at the request of the client, and on the other hand, Crescent Moon was very worried about the two companions who went out one after another.

In the anxious waiting, the two familiar chakras finally appeared in the field of vision of the white eyes, in fact, the human chakra seen by the white eyes, except for the body outline, the gap between people is very small, but for some reason the new moon can easily distinguish which ones are the chakras she is familiar with.

Seeing someone coming back, the convoy slowly stopped and began to wait, and after a while, the two of them boarded the compartment of the last car, while the captain Shiranuichi Genma and Hinata Shinzuki and Ryuichi Yamamoto with a worried face were waiting there.

"I'm back. Aoki greeted everyone calmly.

"What's the matter, are there robbers targeting us?" Before Genma could speak, Yamamoto, who had been waiting like an ant on a hot pot, asked.

Aoki glanced at Genma on the side, Genma took off Chibon from his mouth and said, "Tell Mr. Yamamoto everything you see." ”

"Okay. Aoki nodded and said, "I did spot bandits around. ”

"How many of them are there, and how well armed are they?" Yamamoto asked.

"There are not a few people, about twenty, and except for the leader, the weapons of other people are simply farm tools, or homemade things, and they can't form any combat effectiveness. Aoki smiled and said, "I think they should be some rogues or refugees, and their target should be some small caravans, and they dare not provoke a convoy like ours." ”

Hearing Aoki say this, Yamamoto's face finally looked a lot better, and after patting Aoki on the shoulder and praising a few words, he returned to his car.

After the pair set off again, Genma gave Ishihara a color, and Ishihara nodded, then climbed out of the car and sat on the roof of the car to stand on guard.

Genma handed the kettle and dry food to Aoki and said, "Now that there are no outsiders, I can tell you about the real situation. ”

The thousand books in Genma's mouth before were a code they had set before, and the content of the code was: If the situation is serious, appease the employer first, and talk about the truth later.

Aoki took a sip of water, and then began to tell about what he had detected.

At the same time, in a camp five kilometers away from the Genma team, several men in black were lighting a fire to prepare dinner, and Yamazaki, who had previously negotiated with the bandits to demarcate the scope of the raid, was sitting on a stone covered with a blanket, drinking tea and watching the books in his hand intently by the light of the bonfire.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the grass behind Yamazaki, and several black-clothed guards nearby immediately raised their weapons, but Yamazaki waved his hand very calmly, and a few seconds later, the young samurai with a hat walked out of the grass.

"I'm back. The boy said calmly, then took the kettle handed by someone else and sat down next to Yamazaki.

"I've met a ninja. The young warrior said, "I think it's a guard from a passing caravan." ”

"What about the ninja village?" Yamazaki was still reading the book.

"Judging from the forehead guard, it should be from Konoha Village, the Land of Fire. The boy recalled for a moment and said, "It's really worthy of the first ninja village, that ninja is the same age as me, but his strength is not weak, and he has at least one teammate." ”

"Ninjas generally go out on missions in squads. Yamazaki closed the book and said, "Judging from the age of that ninja, it is likely that Konoha has just graduated this year, and the tradition of Konoha is that the newly graduated ninja have a team of three and a shinobi as an instructor, so they should be four people and have one shinobi." ”

The boy nodded seriously, and then said a little worriedly, "Then will they have an impact on our plans?"

"At the moment, it doesn't seem like so. Yamazaki poured himself a cup of tea: "In the rules of ninjas, the mission comes first, and as long as we don't hinder them from completing the mission, then they won't make any contact with us." ”

"But some of the robbers I came into contact with today are heading in the direction of the ninja's return. The boy asked.

Yamazaki's eyes flashed: "So what, robbing ninjas? A group of idiots are looking for their own way, what do they have to do with me?"

Yamazaki paused and said: "They are just pawns, from the time they promised to loot here, they have already been outcasts, and the focus of our next mission is not here." ”

The boy nodded and said, "But I really want to fight that ninja, I want to prove that the samurai are stronger than the ninja." As he spoke, the boy clenched the knife in his hand.

Yamazaki looked at the boy and didn't say anything, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Yamazaki was about to say something to encourage the young samurai, when a guard dressed in black with a radio station on his back came over and said respectfully, "Mr. Yamazaki, there is a situation in the country of Ha no Na. ”

Yamazaki immediately took the receiver in the guard's hand, listening to something himself.

Turning his gaze back to Aoki, Aoki had just finished talking about what he had detected before, and the focus was on the young samurai.

Genma thought for a while and said, "Judging from what Aoki detected, it is likely that the other party's purpose is to weaken the national power of the country of waves, and then control the country of waves and make profits from it. ”

"Why? Is it a coup d'état?" asked Crescent.

Genma shook his head: "Impossible, if it is a coup d'état, this action will inevitably be too big, and the damage to the country of waves will be too great." ”

"Then who would really do anything to a country?" Sota didn't understand, the concept of the state was synonymous with inviolability in his heart.

"Country to country is not the same. Genma said with a smile: "If it is the five major powers, naturally no one dares to invade so obviously, but the country of waves is different, for many forces, the country of waves is still too small, and the resources it occupies are too large, but it suffers the people here." ”

"Are you just letting them destroy the country of waves?" asked Crescent angrily, "Teacher, let's help them and kill all those robbers." ”

"Impossible. Genma hadn't said anything yet, but Aoki spoke.

"Even if these guys stand there and let you cut them, it will take them for days, and besides, it's impossible for them not to resist, how can the four of us fight against so many people, and who can guarantee that there are no traitors or samurai with hidden strength among them? ”

"Then just watch the country be destroyed, and the people suffer?" asked Crescent rhetorically.

"When you prosper, the people suffer, and when you die, the people suffer. Aoki remembered an ancient poem from his previous life and said, "We are just ninjas, not saviors, and we can help those we can meet at most." ”

"Teacher. Crescent Moon looked at the teacher and hoped that her expectations would be affirmed by the teacher.

"Aoki is right, we can't save so many people. Genma said, "And don't forget that our mission is only to protect Mr. Yamamoto's caravan, and don't do anything else." ”

"You guys!!" Crescent Moon seemed a little angry: "Hmph!" Crescent Moon rolled over and jumped out of the carriage.
