Chapter Seventy-Seven: An Ambush by the River

As soon as the sky was bright, there was a lot of movement in the courtyard of the Hyuga family.

“...... Tribe...... Elder, are we really going to leave like this?" Seeing his companions bustling with their luggage, the young man standing next to the man in the Land of Thunder said with a dissatisfied face.

The man did not answer the young man's words, and looked at everything in front of him with a blank face.

After half a ring, he opened his mouth and said softly: "It's okay, it's a trip......

The young man smiled bitterly: "Travel ......"

In a few moments, everyone was standing neatly in front of the man.

Sweeping the clansmen in front of him, the man nodded: "Get on the road!"

Then, the man got into the carriage, and the guards still guarded the carriage and drove slowly towards the courtyard.

No one from the Hyuga clan came out to see them off, which was of course expected by the man. But in the eyes of the guards, there was something wrong in their hearts.

Even if the negotiation is not successful, there is no need for this, right?

The people of the Land of Thunder left the place in an atmosphere of indignation.

At the gate of Konoha Ninja Village, after the inspection of the two middle ninjas, a group of people drove towards the north of the avenue.

At this rate, then ...... After a maximum of three days, the group will be able to return to the land of the Land of Thunder.

Secretly, Kakashi, Red, and Asma silently followed the convoy without saying a word.

The scenery in front of him was constantly changing, and there was not the slightest noise in the ranks of the people of the Land of Thunder. This makes the subtle cries of insects in the grass around them clearer.

Speaking of which, at this time, everyone in the Land of Thunder chose to leave, of course, they had their own considerations.

There are no powerful characters in their own team, and there were people who tried to disadvantage them when they were in Konoha Village, so there may be unstable things on the seemingly smooth return journey, and no one can take it lightly.

In the early morning, avoid the crowds of people, and the people of the Land of Thunder on the road in the morning are still clean.

The Konoha faction Kakashi and the three of them may already have some vague knowledge about the protection of the people of the Land of Thunder.

Especially the man in the car, not to be underestimated!

There was not much time for peace, and just as the convoy had just crossed the river, someone launched a very sudden attack on the convoy.

Two shurikens flashing with lightning bolts shot out quickly from both sides, breaking through the air, and in an instant, they slashed towards the carriage that was guarded in the middle by many guards.

Then, a ninja wearing a black tights and a black mask suddenly rushed out of the river, carrying a large knife and throwing it at the position of the carriage from a distance!

And he himself, after throwing the big sword, began to seal and prepare to launch some ninjutsu.

"Protect the Patriarch!" Suddenly, the situation in front of them became like this, and the guards glared at each other and roared angrily in an attempt to tightly surround the carriage that had been surrounded like iron barrels.

However, the sharpness of the attack was far greater than the reaction of the guards. The guards only came and shouted a word, and there was no time to put it into practice.

And the few guards who were guarding around the carriage at the beginning, before the blades in their hands could be raised, they were pierced through the body by the shuriken.

The shuriken with the thunder attribute Chakra attached is even sharper.

And the young man who had been following the man in the carriage was glaring with red eyes and hugged the big knife thrown at the man in black!

He is going to use his body to hinder the menacing of the broadsword!

The man in the car did not make the slightest movement.

At this dangerous moment, the three Kakashi acted.

Kakashi, who appeared in the carriage in an instant, held a kunai in his hand, and knocked down the shuriken that had slowed down slightly after piercing several guards.

Then a sword was quickly thrown, and it collided with the big knife thrown by the man in black first. Of course, the power contained in the small kunai could not completely block the attack of the big sword, but it was more than enough to change its direction.

The blade deflected away from the young man who was about to embrace it, and was deeply embedded in the earth, leaving only one hilt exposed.

The young man threw himself into the air and slid far on the ground! When he got up, he didn't pay any attention to the scratches on his body, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the position of the carriage.

The man in black, who was still some distance away from the carriage now, saw this scene, stopped his movements without hesitation, and was about to withdraw in the direction of the forest.

"Illusion - Yuto!" he snorted, and Hong, who appeared behind the man in black at some point, had a sneer on his face.

Then, as if unconscious, the man in black was tied to a knot by the grass vines that suddenly grew on the ground.

"Be honest!" Red stepped on the man in black, and the man in black who was tied to the ground could only "hum" twice, but he couldn't break free.

Asma, on the other hand, also walked out of the woods not far from here, carrying two thinner men who were also dressed in black.

"Knock" and "knock" made two muffled sounds, like throwing garbage, and Asma threw the two of them to the ground with an expressionless face.

At this moment, all three men in black were pulled out.

On the other side of the carriage, the man sitting inside had already stepped out and was now thanking Kakashi.

Because the raid was very unexpected, and the distance between the Kakashi trio and the convoy was relatively long, they didn't rush over at the first time. Three people were killed in the Land of Thunder, and many others were injured. Among them, the young man who was about to block the knife with his body was the most seriously injured.

Although Kakashi's hurried shuriken was thrown at that time, causing the direction of the broadsword's aim to deviate from its original trajectory, the young man was still grazed by the whistling blade on his right shoulder, pulling out a large wound!

The young man was now a little pale from blood loss.

Kakashi walked over and looked at the three men in black on the ground, and glanced at Asma.

Then he crouched down and carefully checked what he had done.

Half-ringing, Kakashi exhaled helplessly, glanced at the man from the Land of Thunder who had just walked over, and said softly, "It's from the Land of Thunder......"

As soon as Kakashi said this, whether it was Red and Asma, the man of the Land of Thunder, or the guards who were silently guarding their companions by the carriage, there was a moment of silence.

In this case, it is guaranteed that a needle dropped on the ground can also be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

The man, who had just been called the patriarch, bowed his head and was silent.

The men beside the carriage were already roaring angrily
