The Right Way to Rise Uchiha

This mission is different from the last one. Last time it was to suppress bandits, so the journey was actually not that troublesome. This time it was different. Escorting the caravan required the entire convoy to keep up, so it was much slower on the road.

After registering and leaving the village, the caravan headed west, towards the Kingdom of Earth.

"Qing, do you think there is anything different in the Earth Kingdom? Although we went out of the village to perform a mission together last time, we were only a hundred miles around Konoha and did not even leave the hinterland of the Fire Kingdom. I don't know if we will go out this time. Is there anything strange in the land of earth?

Also, what is the giant wooden city we are going to this time like? "

"If you ask me, I'll ask who's going. I've only read about some special places in books, but I've never been there."

Uchiha Kiyoshi rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

Perhaps the rope tree was indeed a bit too talkative along the way, so Uchiha Kiyoshi reminded him.

“However, although the escort mission is said to be very safe, we cannot relax too much.

Various accidents are possible during the mission, so you must not lose vigilance. "

After hearing what Uchiha Kiyoshi said, Naoki was about to say more, but then Sarutobi Saku interrupted.

"That's right, Naoki, rest and be vigilant. Don't relax in any way during the mission. This is the basic quality of a ninja. Don't you want to be Hokage? Is it possible that you can't even do this?"

Sure enough, after being provoked by Sarutobi Saku, Naoki stopped talking and began to guard the surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

Orochimaru did not walk with them, but followed them secretly. At this time, it was gratifying to see the transformation of the rope tree. There was finally progress. Ninjas must be able to endure loneliness, but they cannot remain so restless as before. Originally, he planned to tell Shengshu when he returned this time. Unexpectedly, the two teammates of Shengshu spoke first this time, which allowed the kid to escape.

"I originally wanted to remind Tsunade that this guy Naoki is really lucky."

Shengshu was on alert when he suddenly trembled and had a bad premonition, but then it dissipated. Shengshu looked around suspiciously and found nothing, but he also started to become vigilant.

"It seemed like something bad was going to happen just now? Forget it, stop looking if you can't find it. Just be careful first.

Eh? Wasn't someone trying to attack us just now? Then when you saw me, Mr. Nogeki, being so vigilant, you felt there was no hope, so you gave up?

Sure enough, what Qing and the others said made sense, but he couldn't let his guard down during the mission. "

"Rose Tree, was there something just now? What are you looking for?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I'm just always on guard."

The entire ninja world is actually not very large. It only takes three days to travel from Konoha to Sunagakure Village. Of course, this is the speed of ninjas. The distance to Konoha and Iwagakure Village is four days' journey. The Giant Wood Castle is close to Konoha in the Land of Earth and is closer to Iwagakure Village, which is three days' journey.

However, this is all based on the speed of a ninja, who can travel about three hundred kilometers in a day.

The distance between Giant Wood City and Konoha Village is 900 kilometers. Based on the convoy traveling ten kilometers per hour and traveling ten hours a day, it will take about nine days to arrive.

These are just straight-line distance calculations. In fact, the total time required is almost eleven or two days. Adding the time for round trip and restocking, this task will take a total of one month.

However, the cost-effectiveness is still good, the risk is small, and the benefits are not low. The two round trips are actually counted as two tasks.

Nine days later.

“We are about to enter the Land of Grass, everyone should be careful.

Unlike the five major countries, the Grass Country's own shinobi villages are not strong, bandits are rampant within the territory, and robberies often occur.

Moreover, Xiao Ninja Village is not strong enough and the security is not very good. In addition to bandits, there are also many casual cultivating ninjas or rebel ninjas who gather in these countries.

The same is true in the Country of Grass. "

Entering the Land of Grass, Uchiha Kiyoshi gave his two teammates a warning. But he didn't go too far. It would be bad if he scared them. He then explained and comforted them.

"But don't be afraid. We are Konoha ninjas. Generally, few people take the initiative to trouble us. As long as we don't provoke others, there will be no danger."

Orochimaru was out of sight, and Yukito Ishimura stayed with Uchiha Kiyo and the others. When he heard Uchiha Kiyo's words, he also said with a smile.

"This little brother is right. The Country of Grass is indeed a more dangerous place among our group, but with you Konoha ninjas here, few people will take the initiative to provoke it."

It's a pity that God doesn't do what people want. Although it is said that few people provoke it, there are exceptions.

Nobuto Yagi, a lucky man who accidentally got a scroll recording the basics of ninja, such as the chakra extraction method and the three-body technique. Since he was ten years old, he has been practicing hard for more than twenty years. Unfortunately, he has no one to guide him and his talent is not enough. Now he has ordinary chuunin strength.

With poor talent and no systematic education, Nobuhito Yagi can only rely on resources to make progress. If you want to obtain resources as a casual cultivator, you can only take on some tasks issued by the black market, plus rob caravans.

It's naturally difficult to deal with it alone. No, three other genin cultivators were gathered together to form a gang that specialized in robbing caravans.

Originally, their targets were only those small caravans with weak defenses. They could not afford to rob medium-sized caravans like Ishimura Yukito and escorted by Konoha ninjas.

But this time, seeing that Yukito Ishimura's large caravan was only escorted by three imps, Nobuhito Yagi also set his sights on them.

"It's a big caravan, escorted by three ten-year-old brats..."

Hearing Nobuki Yagi's murmur, several of his companions knew what he was thinking, and one of the horse-faced ninjas worried.

"Boss, look at the forehead protectors on their heads. Those three are Konoha ninjas. We can't afford to offend them."

Yagi Nobuto's eyes were also flickering, and he kept struggling. As if he had made up his mind, Nobuki Yagi's eyes became fierce.

"It's done. It's just three brats. Can't we still deal with them? The worst we can do is hide for a while. Considering the size of this caravan, this vote is done. We won't have to worry about it for at least half a year."

Hearing what the boss said, the three younger brothers next to them struggled a bit and decided to listen to the boss. They had never dared to think of such a large caravan before. This time they encountered one with such "weak" protective power, so they naturally had to fight hard. As casual cultivators who lick blood from the edge of a knife, they are not good at it, so they still dare to take risks.

Uchiha Kiyoshi, who was walking in front of the caravan, seemed to notice something.

"Stop! We seem to be being targeted."

Hearing Uchiha Qing's shout, Ishimura Yukito stopped the convoy even though he didn't notice anything.

Naoki and Sarutobi Saku also became vigilant and maintained their fighting posture. Uchiha Kiyo's senses have always been sharp. Although they didn't feel anything was wrong, they still believed in Uchiha Kiyo's judgment for the first time.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also assumed a defensive posture while looking for possible enemies.

He felt a trace of murderous intent just now, which was hard to describe, but he was sure that it was murderous intent. Thanks to his powerful soul, his senses have been somewhat sharp since he was a child. After practicing the art of health cultivation, his body's senses have improved further and he is also more sensitive to changes in the atmosphere of the outside world.

PS: It may be a bit uncomfortable to break it, but I can't help it. I have to control the word count. I can only update it twice a day, totaling four to five thousand words. New books are all like this. I didn’t understand it before I was a newcomer. I update more than 10,000 words every day. It’s a bit reckless...

However, it will change after it is put on the shelves. At least 7,000 to 8,000 updates per day, and occasionally 10,000 updates is still okay.

Hope you can bear with me.
