An official road in the Land of Fire.

A large caravan moved forward little by little.

Izumi Shinyu and Tatsu walked at the forefront, carefully observing the surroundings and guarding against possible enemies.

Behind the two, samurai-clad guards walked boredly on either side of the convoy.

At this time, three days had passed since they set out from Konoha Village.

Along the way, I was lucky, except for a light rain, it was basically a sunny day.

If it goes well today, they'll be halfway there.

"Take a break!"

At the back of the convoy, a guard ran to deliver the news.

The huge caravan slowly began to stop, and everyone sat down on the ground, cherishing the short moment of rest.

Even Izumi Shinyu and the others are the same.

The clear sky is indeed suitable for traveling, but the scorching sun is really maddening.

So far this morning, Izumi Xinyou has seen the two of them unconscious due to heat stroke.

"Give."

Izumi Shinyu looked up and saw that it was the guard in charge of distributing the food, but he shook his head and did not take the food.

The guard was not surprised and instead took the food to the others.

According to the school and Sato's teachings, you should not eat with the caravan during the caravan escort mission.

This is to prevent the caravan food from being poisoned, resulting in being served in one pot.

Izumi Shinyu and Yu silently took out the dry food they had prepared when they set off from their backpacks and swallowed it dry with water.

The rest time was always short, and it wasn't long before an escort gave the order to restart.

Walking on the road again, Quan Xinyou has thought more than once in the past two days whether to slaughter the leader of the caravan and replace him himself.

After all, Taro Shimada, the leader of the caravan, sat on an ox cart all the way.

About an hour or so passed.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang at the rear of the caravan.

From the riots, Izumi Shinyu learned the reason for the incident, and it seemed that the rear of the caravan had been attacked.

Izumi Xinyu and Yu were willing to help, but they were afraid that this was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

For a long time, the convoy did not hear the sound of restarting, which made Izumi Shin Yumoto's heart sink again and again.

"Look, pay attention."

After saying that, he rushed to the giant tree beside him, and jumped to the top of the tree in three or two clicks.

"Traveler."

He and the traveler's vision are shared, but the traveler's vision is far superior to his, whether it is dynamic vision or farsightedness.

Through the traveler's telescopic vision, Izumi Shinyu could barely see the rear of the convoy.

I saw a raging flame in a carriage for some reason.

Not far away, several figures were fighting each other, one of them was Sato, and as for Daisuke Koutani, he didn't see it.

After thinking for a moment, Izumi Xinyu decided to take a look.

Leap off the top of a tree.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Izumi Shinyu nodded towards the shadow clone, and he quickly rushed towards the battlefield behind the caravan.

Caravan rear.

Sato looked gloomily at the enemy not far away.

The four of them are members of the Aurora Thieves, a famous thief group in the Fire Country.

Originally, according to common sense, this kind of caravan belonging to the nobility could not be attacked by such a "famous" thief group, because the nobles generally held troops in their hands.

Once they are targeted by the nobles, even if they are a famous group of thieves, they will definitely not be able to hold back.

"Xiyuan Bei, if you do this, aren't you afraid of being wanted by the nobles?"

Sato asked, he was feeling very tricky right now.

There are four people on the other side, but he only has one person, although he can barely hold it off with his ninjutsu advantage now, but after a long time, he will inevitably be caught.

When the time comes, it is said that the caravan will suffer, and even he will not escape death.

Xiyuan North, a big man full of muscles, it can be seen from the standing position that he is the main combat force among the four.

"Humph! If I'd be afraid of that, I'd still be standing here. Xiyuanbei said disdainfully.

"Konoha Ninja, I think you're almost at your limit, why don't we make a deal?"

"What deal?" Sato was thinking about how to delay time, and when he heard his words, he immediately asked.

"I'll let you go, but I'll have to leave what you're behind you." Xiyuan North said in a deep voice.

"......," Sato pondered, "How many more people should I bring?" ”

"Oh?" Xi Yuanbei glanced at him suspiciously, "What person?" ”

"Our Konoha people."

“…… OK. Xiyuanbei thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, he didn't want to offend a big ninja village like Konoha too much.

Both sides slowly put away their weapons.

But suddenly,

Bite!

A kunai was brutally thrown by Sato to the north of the West Garden.

"Sure enough, Zhongju did it!" Xiyuan Bei dodged the stabbing kun and said in a deep voice.

As soon as his words fell, a person behind him slapped the ground with both hands.

"Earth Escape, Rock Collapse!"

Sato's complexion changed, and the rock beneath his feet suddenly shook violently.

In the blink of an eye, a huge crater appeared in the middle of the field.

"Hmph, do you think you're the only one stalling?" Nishienkita looked disdainfully at Sato in the pit.

"Nakaju did a good job!"

Nakai nodded, and while the two were talking, he injected a large amount of chakra into the ground nearby, especially the ground at Sato's feet.

Because of this, the ninjutsu just now can exert such an effect.

"Ahem." Sato looked up at the four people standing on the edge of the pit and was about to say something.

"Tu Dun Tu Long Gun!"

Suddenly, there were a large number of rock spikes under his feet, and Sato could only dodge in a hurry.

"So how are you going to dodge this?" Nishizonokita's words fell, and Sato felt a shadow.

When he looked up, he saw one of the four people lifting a huge rock with great force and throwing it at him.

"Tu Dun Tuling Tuanzi!"

Looking at the boulder in front of him, Sato's eyes couldn't help but flash a little despair.

He didn't have any powerful ninjutsu to shatter this boulder, but in this crater, he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

"Water Escape: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Thunder Escape, Gratitude Wave!"

At this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out of the caravan, and a powerful combined ninjutsu "Thunder Water Dragon Bullet Technique" appeared, shattering the boulder in an instant.

Sato looked at the two of them in surprise, but he didn't expect that he had just fallen into a desperate situation, and he immediately entered heaven again.

In the woods not far away, Izumi Shinyu slowly retracted his body, just now he was almost about to risk exposure and use the traveler's ability to save Sato.

Looking at the two people who saved Sato, Izumi Xinyu was thoughtful.

These two people should be the back hands of this caravan, and he said, such a large caravan, so it is possible to rely on only the four of them to protect it.

Don't talk to him about the guards.

The current samurai, except for those in the Iron Country, have no one who can fight.

On the field, the addition of two ninjas turned the tide upside down.

Xiyuanbei and others successfully transformed from hunters to prey.
