"Kakashi!" Makoto snorted softly.

The sword flashed, and Yuren rolled out from under the knife in sweat.

Kakashi stopped where he was, pointing at the rain shinobi with a short knife, and a figure flashed on each side, surrounding the hapless rain shinobi with a fairly standard formation.

"Dare to attack the person that Uncle Ben protects, you guy, you are too bold!" Obito, who faced the enemy for the first time on the battlefield, screamed to give himself courage, and Lin also clenched the kunai in his hand hard.

Although he was almost injured by Kakashi's knife at first, and now he was surrounded again, the rain shinobi's gaze was still firmly fixed on Makoto's body.

Perhaps Makoto's performance on the battlefield last time has been on the list of ninjas that countries must pay attention to. When facing Makoto before, Yushinobi's nerves were so tense that he ignored Kakashi's traps and sneak attacks.

Cheng didn't expect that his own reminder would hurt Yunin in this case. Otherwise, Kakashi's Shinobi would not have been able to achieve such a result no matter what.

"Your Excellency, I would like to reiterate that we have no ill intentions, but are just here to greet you on the orders of Lord Hanzo."

The rain shinobi assumed a defensive posture and shouted at Makoto.

"I see." Makoto said impatiently, and he appeared next to Kakashi, holding out his palm and pressing it on the shoulder of the white-haired boy.

Feeling the tightness transmitted by the young shoulder bone, he sighed in his heart, but said coldly on the surface: "In that case, why don't you go to meet the envoy immediately?" ”

"I see, trouble messenger wait a moment."

Yu Shinobi didn't turn around, but slowly retreated facing the two of them, until a safe distance, and then disappeared into the murky water in an instant.

"Kakashi......" Makoto shook Kakashi's shoulder, and Kakashi silently struggled, jumped to the side, and re-hidden.

"What...... It turned out that it wasn't called. Obito was a little glad in his dissatisfaction, and muttered and hidden.

Rin put away her weapon and smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by her previous nervousness, and turned towards her position in a standard motion.

"How?" Seeing Makoto coming back from the front, Mizumon asked.

"It's nothing," Makoto shook his head and said, "Kakashi found the rain shinobi in front of him, and it was the team sent by the leader of the rain ninja village, Sanshoyu Hanzo-sama, to greet him. ”

Mizuto nodded, signaling that he understood, and Makoto turned to Fujiwara Sojun and said, "Fujiwara-sama, please wait a moment, Yushinobi's team has already gone to prepare." ”

After a while, Mizumon suddenly said: "Makoto, you have entered the hinterland of the Land of Rain, and your team will be in charge of the vigilance along the way, and I will be in charge of the safety of Lord Fujiwara." ”

"Well, I'll take Akai and the others to the front, and call the three Kakashi back by the way."

Makoto paused, seeing that the water gate had no other indications, then made a tactical gesture and led the three people in his squad to the front.

He understood the meaning of Watergate very well, maybe the name of the Land of Rain touched Kakashi's heart, or he was eager to prove himself, Kakashi's current performance can be said to be a bit "too hard".

He is not safe in this state, especially for Rin and Obito who are on the battlefield for the first time.

Kakashi may think that he can survive the battlefield with a sense of urgency, but Mizumon must be responsible for Rin and Obito, who are also his students.

Sure enough, after hearing Makoto's order, Kakashi was stunned for 2 or 3 seconds before he obeyed with a little reluctance.

The Makoto team hid in their place, but unexpectedly saw something unexpected.

"W-What is this?" Akai cried out from behind the rock, his eyes wide in surprise as he spoke.

"Kai, you've violated the Concealment Ordinance!" Red reminded from a distance, but she couldn't help but poke half of her head out of the crack in the stone, which was really unconvincing.

"Hmm...... Is it a puppet car? But this smell is very similar to fire oil, could it be a mechanism with fire escape? Asma, who was born in the Fire Escape clan, speculated that the two teammates had already revealed their whereabouts, and he simply stopped hiding.

Only Makoto frowned in deep disobedience.

With a boxy metal shell, windows and seats, and four wheels that turn underneath, isn't this a car?

Although it may seem like a very early design and performance, it is true that it is a car powered by an internal combustion engine.

"Lord Fujiwara Sojun of the Land of Fire, please get in the car." A person who looked like he was dressed as an ordinary person got out of the driver's seat, opened the door of the back seat, and said respectfully to Chao Zongjun.

"Oh?" Zong Chun walked up with great interest and said, "Is this also a creation of ninjutsu?" It is rumored that the Sand Ninja of the Land of the Wind is very good at puppetry, and can build many powerful machines, but I didn't expect that your country is not inferior. ”

"No, it's not puppetry." Mizumon looked at Makoto and confirmed his conclusion from his expression: "I didn't feel the effect of chakra. ”

"You're really well-informed," said Yu Shinobi, who had come down from the passenger seat, with a proud look, "Although this is not a puppet, it is also a precious machine specially given to Hanzo-sama by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, called the 'Fire Oil Car', and I heard that it was also designed and made by a powerful puppeteer. ”

"Is it powered by kerosene?" Zong Chun sniffed and felt the pungent smell that filled the air: "Thank you for the grandeur of your country, then I will be disrespectful." ”

Walking over the mountain, the road is no longer muddy, on the contrary, the mountain is gentle, and most of them are made of smooth rocks that are common in the land of rain, although because of the rain, it is still not suitable for horse-drawn carriages, but looking at the way the car has just galloped all the way, it seems that the tires have undergone the ninja version of the magic change, and can drive on such a road as usual.

"Please," Yunin said with a bowing gesture, "With this car, the time on the road can be greatly shortened, and besides, compared to the bumps of the carriage, the oil car is much more comfortable." ”

Zong Chun entered the car, looked at the luxurious accessories in the car reservedly, thought about it, opened the back door of the car on the other side, and got in.

"Watergate-kun, does Konoha also have such a machine? Even ordinary people can use it. Zong Chun asked.

"No, although Konoha also has an institution that specializes in golems, but unfortunately, there is no such thing." Watergate replied fifteen-ten.

"You've misunderstood," Yushinobu said with a smile, "This isn't a common thing, and if it weren't for you, Hanzo-sama wouldn't have taken out this collection that he cherished so much." ”

"Really?" Zong Chun was thoughtful.

With the roar of the internal combustion engine and the sound of tires crushing water, the car turned around and headed down the hill. Although it was downhill, the car was more than stable, and the speed was insufficient, and even the galloping horses of Zongchun's attendants next to it could easily keep up, and the ninjas of Konoha and Yunin were able to leap forward next to them effortlessly.

But this speed is already faster than the carriage, and if it continues like this, it may be possible to reach the rain ninja village even earlier than the scheduled time, looking at this 'oil car' that interests him a lot, Makoto thought silently.
