CHAPTER XVI
More than ten days have passed since the departure of Konoha.
"There's a village ahead, do you go into the village or go around? Mr. Shinichi. ”
Sasuke, who was walking in front, saw the village in front of him and immediately ran back to the middle of the convoy to ask the merchant Shinichi what he thought.
"It's getting late today, why don't you go directly into the village to rest, what do you think, Kakashi Kashinobi?"
After a few days of getting along, Shinichi already knew Kakashi Kamishinobi's identity, so his attitude instantly became humble.
“…”
Kakashi thought about it for a moment, didn't answer, just nodded in agreement.
So the caravan wandered into the village.
In the village, Shinichi personally talks to the chief, and after paying a small fee, the chief agrees to the stationing of the caravan.
"I'm about to arrive in the land of Yu, and the road is calm, I don't know if I will encounter enemies on this last journey."
Sasuke, who was sitting on the edge of the tree stump, took out dry food and water to replenish it, knowing that it was a long-distance mission, so before he set off, Sasuke prepared enough dry food.
"But the water is running out."
Weighing the water bag that was about to run out, Sasuke got up and walked over to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'm going to fetch some water and leave for a while."
"Whoa."
Kakashi threw his hydration bladder to Sasuke.
"Please help me fight a little, thank you."
After receiving the water bag, Sasuke made a gesture of OK and left the group alone to find water.
By the river, Sasuke had just filled two water bags and was about to go back when he suddenly noticed someone coming.
"Who is it?"
To be on the safe side, Sasuke immediately hid in the bushes.
"Hehe, the boss finally got a good order."
Two strangely dressed wandering ninjas walked over from the other side.
"Yes, we can finally have a meat meal."
"Hehe, that's right, and I have taken control of this village, maybe in the future..."
“……”
Secretly, Sasuke listened to the conversation between the two wandering ninjas.
"Ambush? And it seems that the other party secretly controls the village, so that's it. ”
With a decision in his mind, Sasuke decided to quietly settle the two.
So, Sasuke immediately rushed out.
"Someone."
The wandering ninjas who were drinking water immediately became alert when they saw the sudden shadows, but they were greeted by a pair of blood-red eyes.
Illusion: Writing Wheel Eye.
After using illusion to directly kill the two wandering ninjas in seconds, Sasuke tortured the information through the writing wheel.
Moments later, Sasuke learned everything the wandering ninjas knew.
"I see, did you take the task? But something was always strange. ”
The guy who commissioned the ninja may be Shinichi's enemy, but why hire a wandering ninja for this price? You must know that the money given to "Dove" is enough to issue a B-rank mission in Konoha.
"But anyway, let's go back first."
Before leaving, Sasuke looked at the two ninjas who had fallen into a coma, and after noticing that they would not wake up for a while, he left the river bank directly.
Upon returning to the village, Sasuke found the caravan business as usual, and saw a young boy carrying two bowls of water beside Kakashi.
"Uncle, you're thirsty, this is the water I just fetched."
Kakashi took it and only thanked him, but didn't drink the water from his bowl.
After walking over to Kakashi and handing the water bag, Sasuke shared the information he had gathered by the river with Kakashi.
"I see, it seems that this bowl of water is not so delicious. But, Sasuke, what do you think should happen next? ”
Kakashi flicked his fingers over the bowl filled with water, looking at Sasuke's immature face and asking.
"Presumably be vigilant and wait for them to leak out?"
Sasuke's answer was decent.
"It's a solution, but you'll soon find out if you take down those two ninjas, so make the first move."
"Do you want to do it first?"
After hearing Kakashi's thoughts, Sasuke didn't have any opinions, after all, with his sharingan, he could clearly distinguish between ninjas and civilians.
"Generally speaking, pay attention to the eyes of the surrounding villagers, although ninjas are mixed in, there are some things that cannot be hidden, but for you who have a writing wheel, these should be small things."
"That's true, so do you act now?"
"Well, the battle begins."
The moment they started speaking, Sasuke and Kakashi quickly got into action.
At the moment of Sasuke's writing wheel, there was nowhere to hide from the frustrated disguises of these wandering ninjas.
Illusion: Writing Wheel Eye.
Every time he met a wandering ninja, Sasuke glared at him and eliminated the opponent, and he didn't even need to use a shuriken.
The caravan's side was also disturbed by Sasuke's movements, so Kakashi had to come out to reassure people.
However, even if only Sasuke remains, these wandering ninjas have no resistance in the face of the illusion of the Sharingan.
"You're the only one left, the leader of the doves."
"Damn Sharingan."
The reason why Sasuke didn't quickly get rid of Shintaro, the leader of the "dove", was because Shintaro recognized Sasuke's writing wheel eye at the first time.
"It seems that you know the power of the writing wheel, but do you think this posture can resist me?"
Looking at Shintaro with his eyelids drooping, Sasuke immediately used his shuriken to wrap around Shintaro.
The seal then uses Thunder Escape to make the lightning travel along the wire to Shintaro's body.
"It's over."
Shintaro, who was screaming by electricity, accidentally looked at Sasuke.
Illusion: Writing Wheel Eye.
Thump.
Shintaro, who fell into an illusion, fell unconscious and fell to the ground.
"Is it over?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi, who was belatedly late, and closed his sharingan.
"It's all a little minions, and it's easy to get rid of it, but I always feel that something is wrong."
Kakashi took Sasuke's confusion in his eyes, but his tone was casual.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, in short, the task will continue."
"Yes, but what about these people?"
Kakashi looked at the unconscious group of wandering ninjas with a cold expression.
"The Hatono Bandits, a bandit group active on the Pyroku border, are notorious for their bad behavior, so they are notorious for being wanted by the Land of Fire."
"Are you going to kill them, then?"
Sasuke doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately, but he doesn't mind sending these people to hell when it comes to the wicked guys.
"No, I'll seal their chakra later, and let the nearby Konoha ninjas escort these guys to the Daimyo's mansion, where they will get the justice they deserve."
"It's really troublesome, but it's okay, save it yourself."
Then, after sealing the chakra of the wandering ninjas, Kakashi tied them up with a rope and then released the Messenger Eagle to wait for the arrival of the Konoha ninja.
However, while Sasuke and the others were waiting for the ninja patrolling, the rest of the villagers all gathered nearby.
Through their eyes, Sasuke could tell their panic, as if waiting to be dealt with them.
"The guy who controls you is already in control, so you don't need to worry about anything else."
Kakashi's words made the villagers' tense hearts finally fall, after all, they were technically accomplices of these ninjas.
"But, sister, she's already..."
After hearing this result, the little boy who handed Kakashi the water finally couldn't stop his tears, and fell to his knees and cried.
Seeing this, the villagers looked at each other, sad but silent.
The well-informed Kakashi naturally knew why, but he watched as young Sasuke called for him to go to the caravan.
"There is still some commotion over there in Mr. Shintaro, so you can go over and calm it down."
"Okay, Kakashi-sensei."
Before leaving, Sasuke took one last look at the boy who was on his knees and crying.
