Chapter 118: Heyuan Town
"Kazuya, you did well when you faced the thieves just now, but don't be careless in the next moment," Miyamoto Musashi saw that Echizen Kazuya was a little absent-minded, and solemnly reminded: "You have also seen that the situation in the country of rivers is very bad, and we may encounter new enemies at any time!" ”
"I'm sorry, Miyamoto-sensei, I just got a little distracted!" Echizen Kazuya, who had been thinking about the doppelganger in his heart, quickly stopped his imagination after hearing Miyamoto Musashi's reminder, agreed, and immediately put his mind back on protecting Fujita Shinkami.
Seeing Echizen Kazuya's performance, Miyamoto Musashi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Most of the thieves are just ordinary people, they are only forced to become thieves by helplessness, and their strength is relatively low, so as long as there are not too many people, they are very little threat to us ninjas. Even if there are a lot of thieves, and you are afraid that you will suffer too many casualties in a fight with a ninja, you can usually solve the problem through negotiation! ”
Taking advantage of the relatively calm road, Miyamoto Musashi taught Echizen Kazuya and the three of them the experience, instructing them on how to deal with thieves: "But be careful, some warriors, swordsmen, and wandering ninjas will also join the thieves, which will greatly increase the danger, so be careful about it!" ”
"Miyamoto-sensei, you were so handsome when you faced those thieves just now, one person and one sword made so many of them retreat!" Nara Kazui heard Miyamoto Musashi talk about thieves, and couldn't help but laugh and boast, he has been more and more interested in swordsmanship recently, and he thinks about getting some new sword moves from Echizen Kazuya and Miyamoto Musashi all day long.
"When you reach the upper ninja, you can behave like me when facing a group of ordinary thieves!" Miyamoto Musashi said nonchalantly.
"Shangnin, that's still a long way off," Nara Luyi said with a hippie smile, "If you don't teach me a few swordsmanship, then I can become a shinobi sooner!" ”
"Don't think about sword moves all day long, your foundation is not strong enough, even if I really teach you, you can't use it, now practice the foundation honestly, and you can use it yourself if no one teaches you in the future!" Miyamoto Musashi immediately became serious and said in a solemn tone.
"Okay, okay! Miyamoto-sensei! You've said this a hundred times, I know, I'm going to work hard to practice the basics! Please don't say any more! "Every time Nara Kaei asks Miyamoto Musashi to learn swordsmanship, Miyamoto Musashi repeats the above words like a robot, but Nara Shikai always doesn't believe in evil, and thinks that Miyamoto Musashi will definitely change his routine next time, but every time it's the same result.
Echizen Kazuya looked at Miyamoto Musashi's expressionless face and thought it was funny and funny for him to do this, but he still smiled and asked, "Teacher, how far are we from Mr. Fujita's destination!" ”
"What, Kazuya is homesick?" Miyamoto Musashi didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said with a smile.
"yes, we've been out for days." Echizen Kazuya didn't care about the ridicule in Miyamoto Musashi's tone, and said with a smile.
"I'm running out of snacks too!" As soon as Autumn Daoyi heard Echizen Kazuya's words, he rarely took the initiative to interject.
"It's inevitable that you'll be homesick when you go out on a mission for the first time, so it's good to get used to it later." Miyamoto Musashi touched Echizen Kazuya's head and said with a smile: "We will be able to send Mr. Fujita to the destination tomorrow, and if it goes well when we go back, it will only take two days, so don't worry, finish the task well!" ”
"Yes, Teacher!" Kazuya Echizen agreed in unison, his voice full of motivation and anticipation.
"Then let's speed up, Mr. Fujita must want to go home early, right?" Nara Kaechi walked beside Nobukawa Fujita and asked with a smile.
"yes, I haven't been back in years, and I don't know what has become of me?" Fujita Nobukazu smiled when he heard this, his eyes looked ahead, as if he was looking at his hometown in his memory, but there was some worry and fear in his tone, after all, the current river country is too chaotic, and no one can guarantee what will happen.
"The town of Heyuan, where the Daimyo of the River Country is located, has always been stable, Mr. Fujita, you don't have to worry too much, I'm sure you can see the same place as you remember!" Seeing Fujita Nobuhe's melancholy look, the well-informed Miyamoto Musashi comforted him affirmatively.
"Thank you Miyamoto Kaminobu for your relief, I hope so!" The nostalgia was even more timid, and Fujita Nobuga wiped the tears that had been shed at some point, and thanked him with a smile.
Miyamoto Musashi nodded, still looked at the sky, and said loudly: "Let's hurry up, or we may have to camp tonight!" ”
"Okay, let's go!" Nara Kaechi raised his hands and said loudly, full of motivation.
Echizen Kazuya and his party eventually managed to reach a small town before it was completely dark, and found a hotel to stay in.
This town is very close to Heyuan Town, and the security is much better than the rest of the River Country, but at night you can only see the streets in darkness, and there are no pedestrians walking outside.
For the sake of safety, Miyamoto Musashi still arranged a vigil in turn to avoid accidents, and by the time it was Echizen Kazuya's turn, it was already the second half of the night, and he took Miyamoto Musashi's place to guard the last hours before dawn.
Because of the White Emperor together, Echizen Kazuya, who was keeping vigil, was not bored, while looking at the brilliant starry sky in the sky, chatting with the White Emperor, by the way, thinking about what he saw and heard during the day, thinking about the doppelganger, a few hours passed quickly, and the night was safe.
"Then let's continue on our way, we should be able to reach Heyuan Town before noon," the few people who had rested all night were all in good spirits, and as soon as they finished breakfast, Miyamoto Musashi urged them to hurry, and of course Echizen Kazuya couldn't ask for it, especially Akimichi Yoshito was the most active, because he was about to run out of food!
Echizen Kazuya and a few people walked upstream along a river, and when it was close to noon, they arrived at the town of Heyuan, which was not very big, and the prosperity could not be compared with Konoha, but because it was the place where the daimyo of the country of the river was located, it was protected by hired ninjas, and it was one of the few places in the country of the river that was quite stable.
There are also smiles on the faces of pedestrians on the streets, unlike other places in the country of rivers, where the people are either fierce or lifeless.
"Thank you very much for escorting you all the way, you little guys are also very good ninjas, thank you very much!" Nobuka Fujita, who had successfully found his family, warmly entertained Kazuya Echizen and his party, and thanked them sincerely when they were about to leave.
"Hahaha, I said a long time ago that we are very powerful, Uncle Fujita, you finally know now!" Affirmation from Nobuki Fujita, Nara Kayi said with a smug laugh.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fujita, for your hospitality, next time you can still come to Konoha to find us if you need it," Miyamoto Musashi skillfully punched Nara Kayi in the head, and after politely thanking Fujita Shinhe, he didn't delay any longer, and ordered resolutely: "Okay, our mission has been successfully completed, and we will return to Konoha next!" ”
