The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 22 Attacked
After practicing in Konoha for another day, the two-day vacation given by Captain Tongma finally ended, and Kazuhiko Uchiha and his teammates started to perform new tasks again.

Due to the outstanding performance in the last mission, this time Captain Tongma accepted a B-level escort mission, which was to protect the businessman Mr. Kashima and his caravan back to the Land of Thunder. The mission took about ten days.

After some simple travel preparations, Tongmaban joined Mr. Kashima's caravan outside the Konoha Gate, and met his employer, a middle-aged businessman with a big belly.

"Hello, Mr. Kashima, I am the captain of this mission, Gu Chuan Tongma, these are my subordinates Uchiha Kazuhiko, Inuzuka Yuki, and Ikemoto Kaori, please rest assured, we will definitely protect your safety."

After the meeting, Captain Tongma greeted his employer with a smile, and introduced Uchiha and Kazuhiko to each other.

"Hello, Kashima-san."

Uchiha Kazuhiko and the three also greeted each other politely after Captain Tongma's introduction.

"Hehe, Konoha is indeed an outstanding person, with so many outstanding young ninjas."

Mr. Kashima did not despise Uchiha and Kazuhiko because of their age. After all, he has traveled all over the world for so many years, and he can be regarded as well-informed. fighting power.

Captain Tongma smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Mr. Kashima has won the prize, and Yunin Village also has many young heroes. As for the three of them, there is still a lot to improve."

After exchanging a few words of courtesy, Mr. Kashima set off with the caravan, and the task of the Tongma class officially started.

Mr. Kashima's caravan has ten carriages. Except for his own, the other carriages are all freight cars, full of special products purchased from the Land of Fire, so the speed of the caravan is relatively slow.

Under the arrangement of Captain Tongma, Inuzuka Yuki, who has a keen sense of smell, is responsible for scouting the road ahead. Captain Tongma and Kaori Ikemoto stay in the middle of the team and advance with the caravan. Kazuhiko Uchiha, who has the strongest combat effectiveness, is responsible for guarding the rear. .

At the end of April, it is the season of warm flowers blooming, the climate is warm and the scenery is pleasant. It can be regarded as a very enjoyable thing to go out to the village to perform tasks in such an environment.

The first day's journey came to an end soon, and the caravan stopped in a small town in the Land of Fire to rest.

"Heyan, Xi, how about we go shopping and eat some delicious food?"

As a girl, Kaori Ikemoto's pursuit of food far exceeds that of Kazuhiko Uchiha and Yui Inuzuka. After Captain Tongma announced that she would take turns to rest, she immediately found the two of them and extended an invitation to them.

"Okay, the dry food at noon tastes really bad, I don't want to continue eating that stuff at night, let's go, Shibingwan."

Inuzuka Yuki agreed to Ikemoto Kaori's proposal without saying a word, and after inciting the wings of his nose to identify the direction of the snack street, he rushed away with Juhei Maru without waiting for Uchiha and Hiko.

"Okay, let's go."

Feeling Kaori Ikemoto looking at him with burning eyes, Kazuhiko Uchiha didn't refuse, nodded and agreed, and chased up Yuu Inuzuka with her to find a delicious dinner together.

"Go away, you poor ghosts, you've soiled my uncle's clothes, and I can't afford to sell you off."

As soon as I came to the snack street, I found a young man with an arrogant look, with a nodding dog leg and a few wave guards, cursing and yelling at ordinary civilians on the road.

When ordinary civilians saw the luxurious clothes worn by the young man, although their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and disgust, they still stepped aside one after another, allowing this playboy, who was obviously not easy to mess with, to pass first.

Although Uchiha and Hiko were not afraid of these Langin guards, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they entered the snack street from the other side of the road and found a restaurant with a good environment to have a big meal.

After dinner, the three of Uchiha and Hiko returned to the hotel where the caravan was staying, and took turns to respond to the guard task of Captain Tongma, and spent the first night safely.

Early the next morning, the caravan left the town to start the next journey.

An hour later, Kazuhiko Uchiha, who was walking at the end of the team, heard the neighing of horses from behind. His eyes narrowed immediately, and he jumped directly to the top of a tall tree nearby, looking towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw a cavalry team of more than a dozen people rushing towards the caravan. The leader was the young dandy I met in the snack street yesterday.

Although he didn't know if the other party's target was his own party, Uchiha Kazuhiko did not hesitate, and immediately caught up with the caravan, and informed Captain Tongma and Mr. Kashima of his discovery.

After receiving the news from Uchiha Kazuhiko, Captain Tongma immediately arranged for the caravan to slow down its progress, in order to guard against this wave of teams that did not know whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Relying on the speed of the horses, the group of people behind them soon appeared in the sight of everyone in the caravan.

Under the vigilance of Uchiha Kazuhiko and others, the young dandy just glanced at the caravan, then passed in front of everyone like the wind, and disappeared at the end of the road.

After confirming that this group of people was not an incoming enemy attack, the caravan resumed its journey again, and Uchiha Kazuhiko returned to the rear of the team and continued to perform the task of guarding.

In order to enhance the strength of the team, and to pass the boring time on the road, Mr. Tongma took advantage of the gap between the caravan repairs to pass on Uchiha Kazuhiko's long-awaited shadow clone technique to everyone, and guided everyone to complete the practice successfully.

After learning the super practical ninjutsu of shadow clone, Kazuhiko Uchiha separated three shadow clones, one shadow clone guarded behind the caravan, one went to the wild to practice Taijutsu, and one continued to develop advanced ninjutsu of spiral pill, the main body Sitting on the truck, he carved the magic seal at an extremely slow pace without affecting his combat effectiveness.

Probably because of Konoha's great reputation in the Land of Fire, in the three days before the caravan arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, they had not encountered even a single attack, only encountered a few teams from other countries who were also performing missions. Ninja squad, since there is no conflict of interest, there is no fight.

On the fourth day, the caravan left the country of fire and entered the territory of the country of soup.

The country of Tang is a small country, located in the gap between the country of fire and the country of thunder. Due to its beautiful natural environment and tourism resources, the tourism industry is quite developed.

Although there is also a small ninja village called Tangnin Village in China, but due to the reduction of funds by the daimyo, Tangnin Village has gradually shrunk. country.

"Captain, another team of Ronin is found 500 meters ahead."

The caravan has only been marching for a whole morning, and the shadow clone of Yuri Inuzuka has come to report the encounter with Ronin for the eighth time.

"Just be alert."

Captain Kirima is very familiar with the situation of rampant ninja in Tango Kingdom, so he is not too nervous, but just ordered Inuzuka Yuki to maintain normal vigilance and not to provoke the other party.

The caravan continued on, and after entering a dense forest, Uchiha Kazuhiko, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, because he had a feeling of imminent danger.

Taking back the two shadow clones who were practicing, Uchiha Kazuhiko immediately jumped onto the big tree, and vigilantly observed the surroundings of the caravan, but found nothing abnormal, so he could only suppress his uneasiness in his heart, and quietly opened the front door of the Bamen Dunjia. Two doors, ready to deal with possible crises.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the moment when the caravan was about to leave the dense forest, a dense mass of shurikens and kunai flew towards the caravan overwhelmingly, and a small team of Ronin with more than ten people appeared out of thin air and surrounded the caravan.
