Chapter 2: The Toad Ghost Forages

Naruto laughed as he looked at the "dog-headed" strategist's face turned pale, shook his head and walked away.

This is left to the caravan steward, and the hired escorts can take care of it.

The steward understood what Naruto meant, and waved his hand, looking in high spirits.

Just now, he scolded the guard who had infiltrated the caravan disguised as a guard in advance, but his real identity was a sand thief "military advisor", and he laughed at this time.

The next one is a bit bloody. Naruto and Matsumatsu stood aside, both covering their eyes tightly with a look of fear......

The caravan steward was very simple, and there was no woman's kindness at all. After a few moments, a large pile of corpses was left in place, and the blood attracted all kinds of animals in the desert to "look".

Naruto knew that there would soon be no trace here. It is actually a very simple thing to make a person disappear into this world......

"Doesn't it mean that your family is also a medium-sized family? why can't you even send a strong hired ninja? Didn't the sand thieves say that your goods this time are very valuable!" Naruto asked the steward, holding Matsumatsu.

The steward let out a long sigh, "There are hired ninjas, but most of them are hired samurai. In the usual large-scale trade of goods, the family would send samurai to accompany them to protect it. Only this time ......"

"This time, I'm really grateful to Naruto Bofeng for taking action, otherwise not only would the goods not be saved, but the kid might also be poisoned. The steward suddenly changed the subject, pointing to the guard in the caravan who had scolded the "dog-headed" sand thief before, "His father asked me to take him with him, if there is a real accident, I will not have the face to see my old friend." ”

"It's all a small thing. Since I promised you, and I don't want to delay the mission because of these things, I should take action because of all the reason. Naruto saw that the steward didn't seem to have the intention of explaining it to him, and waved his hand to leave.

But he was secretly pulled by the steward: "To be honest, our trade in the Land of Fire this time was with the Nara family in Konoha Village, where Naruto is located." ”

"Oh?" Naruto thought of Shikamaru's family, "What can their family sell?"

"The Nara family is rich in high-quality deer antler velvet, which is also famous throughout the continent. The steward arched his hand and continued, "The only daughter of the head of the family gave birth to a strange disease, and later an old monk passed by and personally visited and said that he could be cured, but he needed high-quality deer antler velvet medicine, otherwise the effect of the medicine may not reach the level of treating the daughter of the head of the family." ”

"So you went to the Land of Fire to ask the Nara family of Konoha to buy deer antler velvet? Naruto said, "Since it's a trade to heal the daughter of the head of the family, it stands to reason that your family should send out hired samurai to make sure that nothing goes wrong?"

"Ah...... steward sighed again, looked at Naruto, and smiled bitterly.

Naruto's heart moved, there was a story.

It turned out that the old monk who was treating the daughter of the head of the family was in trouble. The head of the family needs to send the clan to hire samurai to protect his own safety, and the strong guards of the clan are all left behind by him, so naturally there are no guards to protect the caravan all the way.

"So you're going to rely on these people to keep the caravan safe?" Naruto almost laughed, pointing at the young men.

The steward was a little embarrassed: "The old master also asked the ninja of Sand Ninja Village to protect the caravan mission, but you also know. Their shadow disappeared for a long time, but when they found out, they had been killed by some traitorous ninja. There are some things between ninjas that I don't know very well. In short, the assignment was not accepted. That's all we have to do on the road. ”

Naruto nodded, it was really a coincidence.

Naruto had also heard about the killing of the Wind Shadow, and it should have been Orochimaru's doing. Counting three generations, this guy actually has the strength to kill two ninjas who exist at the shadow level, and he is really powerful.

"The head of the family and the little girl originally went to the capital to seek help from doctors, and there are many capable people in big cities, and the head of the family is also blessed by the god of wind, so he can meet this old monk. The steward rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Ninja-sama, you can also go, if you have time, please do your best next landlord's friendship." ”

Naruto smiled, not promising or refusing.

Such an incident happened on the road, and the steward did not dare to be careless. The group hurried to a small town before they paused tiredly. By this time, it was already dark.

The accommodation arranged by the steward for Naruto was not bad, the place was on the edge of a small oasis, and the size of the town could not be too large.

Completely different from the customs and folklore of the Fire Nation, the people here travel with their clothes wrapped tightly and wearing an alternative headscarf on their heads. That's to prevent fine wind and sand from getting in, causing a lot of inconvenience.

The two imps were released by Naruto, and they were playing with Matsumatsu at this time. Naruto looked up at the window, his next plan wasn't very clear.

He simply wanted to come to this desert to see it. So far, it's just a matter of lounging.

After the old man "sacrificed to the sky", he left Naruto with three things.

Yin and Yang beads, mysterious scrolls, and a lot of title deeds......

It is the property left behind by Hanakaiin, and when the four major families were parallel to the Heian period, it was really the peak of the family's development.

After such a long time, the other three families have disappeared into the long river of history, and it is not easy for Huakaiyuan to retain these old sites.

It's just that, looking at the dates on those land deeds, a long time has passed, and I don't know if these old people are still valid.

If anything, it can be regarded as a place to stay. Naruto doesn't have a lot of money on him, so it's impossible to stay in a hotel everywhere to eat and drink. Ninjas also need money to live, and that's a constant rule everywhere.

From Naruto to Konoha's lower shinobi, the rewards for following Kakashi-like missions are not very high, and coupled with his daily consumption, Naruto is very poor. Therefore, if he wants to complete the idea of traveling to the mainland, he needs to find a new way to get paid.

"There's no rush on this matter, so don't think about it for the time being. Let's take a look when we get to the Land of the Winds first. Naruto sat cross-legged on the bed as a transparent perceptual barrier unleashed, enveloping the room.

Even if you know that there is no danger, it is not too much to be careful when you are away from home.

The toad ghost took shape, and its dark and purple mist-like body had a layer of scarlet on the surface.

Knowing that the toad ghost is a creature of the underworld, Naruto doesn't care about the toad's behavior.

Needless to say, the sinful souls of those sand thieves who were killed today all entered the stomach of the toad ghost.

"It should be good for your recovery. Naruto's eyes narrowed.

The toad's humanized eyes flickered, and there was a hint of satisfaction.

"Compared to the Death Forest, how is Xiaoqing?"

When the toad ghost heard this, a black mist fluttered all over his body: "You know?"

A smile appeared on Naruto's face, "It's not difficult to guess that the world is yang, and before you met me, your weakness and appearance like that had a lot to do with the fact that you couldn't get the replenishment of the breath of the underworld. The Forest of Death is dark all day long, and there are so many deaths in it every day that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is your paradise on earth. ”
