Of course, Masahiko didn't have a knife that fell in the hot spring, he just found a place where no one was and took out a long knife from the seal scroll he carried with him.

This knife was bought when he went to the Land of Iron to participate in the Five Shadows Conference with the Pillars, and it was mixed with chakra conduction metal. Masahiko had planned to have time to refine the chakra conduction metal inside and create two special shurikens, but he kept dragging it, and he didn't expect it to come in handy until now.

Putting the knife cross-legged on his waist and tidying up his clothes, Masahiko nodded with satisfaction, "This time, I'm like a wandering samurai......"

Back at the guard recruitment office, there was one more teenager in addition to the scarface.

The scarface was talking, "Nakashinobi?" Yes, I'll record it, and everyone will test it later...... You're back! As he spoke, he saw Masahiko walk in.

Masahiko smiled and nodded, "Scarface, I'm back to apply, let's talk about the pay......" Although Masahiko is not short of money, he is a thrifty man......

Scarface stood up and gave him a fierce look, "Let's go!" Plus the two of you are basically enough. Follow me to the caravan's station, and someone will test you on it, and then we will talk about the payment. As he spoke, his face gloomy, "If someone lies about their strength, the person who tests you will not show mercy." ”

But...... After a threat, Masahiko still had a heartless smile on his face, while the young man next to him was trembling with fear.

On the way to the Chamber of Commerce with Scarface, Masahiko smiled and said to the young man next to him, "Little friend, how old are you this year?" First time out on a mission? ”

The young man on the other side looked nervous, but when he heard Masahiko's words, he still puffed up his chest, "I'm not a child, I'm 17 years old!" As he spoke, his expression lowered again, "I'm a civilian ninja in the land of Yu, and this is indeed the first time I'm going to leave the country of ......."

Masahiko nodded, feeling in his heart that the country of Yuno was indeed peaceful, and he only went out on a mission for the first time at the age of 17.

"But is it really nice to be so comfortable?" Masahiko muttered and fell silent.

"Big brother, don't you want to ask me why I took on this task?" Seeing that Masahiko was silent, the young man took the initiative to speak.

But...... Masahiko smiled secretly in his heart, "I haven't been a big brother for many years...... If you talk like that, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death in Konoha. ”

"What is there to ask? It's nothing more than two cases. Or there is a sick old mother at home who is in urgent need of money, and then she touches me to protect you in the future escort; Either you are unwilling to be mediocre and want to train yourself, and then let me admire you in the escort after that......"

Boy: "......"

The scarface in front of him turned his head when he heard this, and actually showed a smiling face, which made Masahiko tremble......

Without saying a word all the way, the group of three walked out of the bustling village and town and came to a wilderness.

In the distance, Masahiko saw a caravan parked, with nearly a hundred people and a dozen carriages.

Masahiko frowned, "The caravan is not small, but the rut is so deep, what is it transporting?" ”

On the other side of the caravan, a little old man walked up to him and said to Scarface, "Xin Fan, why did you only recruit two people and come back." ”

Masahiko sensed it, the little old man did not have any chakra in his body, and his physique was not strong, so he should be an ordinary person. Facing Scarface, he still has an equal attitude, which can only show that he is the steward or master of this caravan.

Sure enough, Scarface's words confirmed Masahiko's conjecture.

"President, that blond-haired young man claims to be a high-ranking samurai, if that's the case, we're barely enough......"

The little old man frowned and looked at Masahiko, obviously not convinced. However, he didn't question it directly, but said lightly: "Then let's test their strength with the five people recruited before." ”

Scarface nodded, turned to face Masahiko and the others, "First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Sanada Nobuyoshi, I am the captain of the caravan's guard, and I am also a high-ranking samurai. As he spoke, he glanced at Masahiko, "It's not called Scarface." ”

"Okay, Scarface." Masahiko doesn't care about any of that.

Scar's face froze, and the little old man on the side showed an interested look.

"Your name is Zheng Yanyi, right...... Come with me, and I will test your strength for myself. As he spoke, he shouted, "Okiji! Come here, this boy and the five people I brought before, you arrange to test their strength. ”

A delicate-looking samurai trotted over and brought the nervous boy over.

"Where to test?" Masahiko asked with a smile, not showing a trace of nervousness.

"Right here, President, please stand back."

The little old man nodded and retreated more than ten meters.

"Let's do it......" Scarface said lightly, letting Masahiko do it first.

Masahiko shrugged, and without refusal, he drew his knife out of its sheath and slashed it over.

Scarface frowned and didn't fight back, "Are you really a high-level samurai?" The strength is not bad, but the slashing angle is wrong, and the knife holding gesture is not right. It's too late to quit. ”

Masahiko's face flushed, he really hadn't practiced knife skills.

"I have a special knife technique, do you want to learn it?" Masahiko denied it.

Scar's face was slightly silent, his eyes were round, and he slashed out, and Masahiko actually had the illusion of facing the patriarch of Qimu back then.

"The momentum is good, but there is no chakra reaction, is it a traditional samurai......" Although Masahiko doesn't know how to swordsmanship, with the advantage of physical fitness, he easily took a few stabs from Scarface.

Scarface was slightly silent, nodded, and inserted the knife back into its scabbard.

Masahiko thought the test was over, but he didn't expect Scarface to shout, "Iai slash!" ”

The sword drawing technique was as fast as lightning, and Masahiko's heart moved, and the chakra, which was not mixed with attribute changes, poured into the long knife, and the latter came first, blocking Scarface's sudden attack.

Scarface snorted coldly, "It turned out to be a new-school samurai, and there is a lot of chakra, no wonder this kind of sword technique dares to call himself a high-level samurai!" "Turn around and go.

Masahiko scratched his head, not knowing how to interface.

The little old man on the side walked over and said with a smile, "Xinfan's sudden attack before was to prevent unknown ninjas from blending into the team, don't be surprised." As for the dispute between the new school and the old school of samurai, the scar on his face was left by a new school samurai, so he ......"

Masahiko nodded in understanding.

"So, welcome to Zhengyanyi...... That's the name, right? Welcome to the caravan! This is half of the remuneration this time, 500,000 taels, and I will give it to you first. The goods are delivered, and the other half is paid. ”

Masahiko frowned, quickly took it with a smile, and officially joined the caravan.

"Why didn't I hear that there was such a thing as a prepayment......"
