In the last book, it was said that the Ice Clone had returned after leading the team to attack the Cloud Ninja.
Let's talk about some things about Shinobu.
At this time, the 42nd year of the Wood Leaf was about to end.
After two years of growth, Minami and the other two were no longer as naive as they had been in the beginning. After dozens of battles, even the lively Yamahiko had become much calmer, and his strength had increased under Hasegawa's guidance.
The three of them had more or less come into contact with a lot of people during their two years in the rain, but most of them were the poor and suffering people in the rain. They could only watch. They were powerless against them at this moment, and this scene only strengthened their dreams.
In the house of Shinobu and the others.
" Nagato, Minami." Yabhiko, who was no longer a teenager, looked at the two of them and said," We still don't have enough funds. If we want to set up an organization, we must have sufficient funds, but our savings in the past two years are still far from enough." Yabhiko had mentioned this problem more than once, but their manpower was limited, and the number of missions for Shinobu was not many. After being defeated in World War II, most of the mission quotas were taken over by Kiha. Although the number of missions for Shinobu had increased a lot this year due to the incident where Muye had forced White Teeth to his death, with their level as ninjas, they would not be able to accept those high-paying missions. Even if their combat strength was not low, the people who issued the missions would not know.
Minami, the only girl among the three of them, was also in a very low mood. She had lived with Yahiko for a long time, and as a delicate girl, she knew Yahiko much better than Nagato." Yahiko, why don't you ask your brother for help? I believe your brother will help us, and..." " Minami!" Yabhiko interrupted Minami's words." Why don't you understand? This is our own business. I know you're kind, and Big Brother will help us, but we can't accept it." Minami was a little upset by Yabhiko's words and sat there silently. Yabhiko's words probably had another meaning. Although Hasegawa was very friendly to the three of them, the meticulous Minami could sense that Hasegawa didn't like Nagato and Yabhiko. She didn't know why Hasegawa would treat the two of them like this. Even when he was teaching the three of them, he was only targeting herself. Although he would occasionally give pointers to Yahiko and Nagato, who were beside him, it was just that he was borrowing her own glory.
Nagato, who was sitting at the side, was also helpless. He was the strongest among the three of them in terms of combat strength, but in terms of other aspects, he was still not comparable to Yamahiko and Yamahiko. Seeing that Yamahiko and Yamahiko were about to fight, he immediately tried to persuade them," Alright, don't complain about this. Yamahiko, you're a man now. Why are you so petty? Yamahiko only meant well." Yamahiko was a little regretful as well. He did not know how to start the conversation. Since Nagato had pointed it out, he could only say," Little Nan, I'm sorry." The latter smiled at Yamahiko and shook his head to show that he did not mind.
" What do you think, Yaehiko?" Today, Yaehiko had mentioned this matter again, so he had some ideas. Nagato was also very curious. " Ah, I almost forgot." Yamahiko slapped his forehead. He had forgotten about the important things just now. He continued," I saw a mission today. There are no requirements. It's an escort mission. The location is the capital of the River Country. The reward is 500,000 taels." Nagato and Minami were shocked when they heard such a large reward. The River Country is not far from here. How could there be such a large reward? Minami quickly asked," How could it be?""This is too abnormal." Nagato nodded in agreement.
Yaehiko chuckled and said mysteriously," You guys know that the Unin and the Fogin are fighting, right?" Little South and Nagato nodded. The entire continent was watching the war closely, and there were even more rumors. Even the civilians of the Ryuin knew a lot about it. " You may not know this, but I spent a lot of effort to get this information." Yamahiko continued mysteriously," The mainland is not peaceful now. Koba, Iwannin, and Sanin are all actively preparing for it. I'm afraid that it won't be long before they start fighting." The two people who heard the news did not show any surprise, but instead, they showed a disgusted expression. At this time, Yamahiko also reacted. Both of them were harmed by the war, and so was he. He had the urge to slap himself in the face. Why did he mention this for no reason? Wasn't he looking for himself? However, this was also the truth. Even if he didn't say it, wouldn't others say it? Even if others didn't say it, the situation on the continent was just like this. If he said it now, he would be mentally prepared.
" The continent isn't peaceful, so there's a lot more danger on the road. There are all kinds of dangers, and the value of the goods that the employer brought this time is very high. That's why he offered such a high reward," Yaehiko continued to explain. As for Nagato and Minami, they would naturally control their emotions. If they couldn't control their emotions well, then they wouldn't be ninjas. That would only burden their companions in battle.
Indeed, that was the case. Little South and Nagato quickly composed themselves. After hearing Yabhiko's explanation, they were relieved. If they were willing to pay a commission of 500,000 yuan for an item that was too valuable, they could imagine what kind of person they would meet in the end for this mission. There would definitely be experts, but no one would accept Yu Ren. Since Xiao Nan asked this question, there were some things that had to be considered. " How could the ninjas not know how dangerous this mission is? Although the commission is high, they still need to be alive to spend it. As for those Jounin, hehe." Yaehiko laughed coldly. The leader of the Rounin, Hanzo, was famous for being afraid of death. Therefore, most of the Rounin's Jounin would not go on missions. They would only send out Jounin when they had no choice. As for the other Jounin, they were very smart. They wouldn't accept missions that were more dangerous." Therefore, no one took that mission for a while."
"So you're planning to take this mission?”Nagato knew what Yahiko was planning this time, but he still had to ask. Yahiko nodded firmly, and Nagato did not say anything else. Since Yahiko was so determined, there was no way he could change his mind.
"But can the three of us do it?”Xiao Nan asked worriedly. Although he had fought many battles in the past two years, his enemies were not very strong, so Xiao Nan was not very clear about how strong he was.
" Don't worry. We're very strong, aren't we, Nagato?" Yahiko gestured heavily to give Little Nan some confidence. He did not forget to close Nagato. What else could Nagato do? He could only follow Yahiko.
Hoodlum's doppelganger was hiding somewhere they couldn't see. It was too early for the three of them to find Hoodlum's doppelganger. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could basically confirm that the three of them were preparing to accept an extremely difficult mission just by looking at their lips. It seemed that he had gone a little overboard when he helped the three of them in secret last time. The last time the three of them had accepted a difficult mission, they had encountered a few extremely powerful Ninjas. The strength of the Ninjas was generally relatively strong. Those who were not strong had long been captured by the village they belonged to. Hasegawa, who was worried about Minami, sent Hoodlum to clear out the powerful Ninjas, so the three of them completed the mission without much effort. This time, Yaehiko sent Minami and Nagato to complete the extremely difficult mission. Yaehiko's impression of Hasegawa dropped by a lot. It was fine for him to be brave, but not for Minami. Although Minami's strength was not bad, the combat power that she could unleash was not that high. Furthermore, Minami was too kind. She had not killed many people in the past two years, and the people she had killed were the most heinous ones. Hoodlum looked at Yaehiko with a cold glint in his eyes. It seemed that he had to plan, but it was too late. He would have to wait.
The next day, the three of them accepted the mission. After meeting the owner of the goods, they had a chat and decided on the route. When everyone arrived that evening, they went to the owner's parking lot. The owner of the goods had quite a lot of goods. Just the big ones were loaded into three carriages, and the small ones were loaded into two carriages. A total of five carriages set off under the protection of three people. Hoodlum followed behind them, secretly protecting them.
Perhaps it was because there were too many goods, and the weight was not light, the convoy did not travel very fast. This made Little Nan and the other two smile bitterly. At this speed, how many days would it take to reach the capital of the Country of Rivers? Furthermore, the journey had not been peaceful. It was only then that Yaehiko understood why the Jounin did not accept such a mission. It was not just dangerous. As time dragged on, anything could happen. However, he was confident in the strength of his team. He still believed that they could solve this problem easily.
They set off overnight, but they still didn't go far the next day. It would probably take a few days to leave the Country of Rain. Fortunately, although the Country of Rain was poor, there weren't many people who came out to rob.
Another four days passed. On this day, they finally reached the border of the Country of Rain. This time, it was not as peaceful as it was in the Country of Rain. It was not as if there would be bandits. When they saw that there were only three ninjas in the team, they would come and rob them. However, such a weak bandit group would only end up being destroyed by the three of them. However, it wasn't like there were no powerful bandit groups coming to rob them. Just as they crossed the border, there were more than a hundred bandit groups in front of them, waiting for the fat sheep to come.
The leader of this group of bandits was actually a ninja. He was just a traitor, but this was very unbelievable. Even ninjas had their pride. Being a bandit was too degrading, but since he was a traitor, then his strength could not be underestimated. There was nothing much to say. The two sides began to fight. The strength of this rebel ninja was not bad, but his subordinates were not good. Three minutes after the battle began, his subordinates were destroyed by Nagato and Minami. This was the difference between ordinary people and ninjas. This Renin was also quite impressive. Even with the three of them working together, he still managed to hold on for ten minutes before his throat was slit by Little Nan's paper escape.
Hoodlum, who was watching the battle from afar, shook his head and said nothing. The three of them were very strong. Nagato, who had the Reincarnation Eye, was already an Elite-tier Jounin, while Minami and Yaehiko were both Jounin. However, the three of them lacked experience and could not fully unleash their strength. As for the traitor ninja, he was at most a Jounin. However, he had much more combat experience than the three of them. He had relied on this to withstand the combined attacks of the three of them for ten minutes. From the looks of it, the three of them did not have the experience to fight against an expert. That wouldn't do. Hoodlum had to arrange for a high-intensity battle. Hoodlum looked at the rest of the convoy and quickly disappeared.
A few days later, the convoy arrived at the borders of the Country of Rivers. In these two days, Little Nan and the other two were extremely busy. Many bandits who came to rob died, but this was still considered good. Their strength was not high, and the three of them quickly took care of them. However, it was not easy to deal with the incoming ninjas. After a round of battle, not to mention the weaker ones, there would be Jounin level combat strength attacking from time to time. These Jounin were all experienced people, so the three of them had a very difficult time fighting. If it weren't for the secret medicine that Hasegawa had given them, which could quickly recover the chakra completely and had no side effects, the three of them would have died long ago. However, after this battle, the three of them gained experience very quickly, and they rarely made useless mistakes during the battle. The three of them had a much better teamwork than before, but this was only Hoodlum's appetizer because a powerful character was about to arrive.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy was moving while Little Nan and the other two were recovering their energy in the car. At noon, the three of them finally got rid of a small team of Chuunins. Although the strength of this team was low, they were not easy to deal with. Although some of the methods were disdained by the ninjas, they were undeniably effective. The three of them also suffered a lot.
At this moment, Nagato opened his eyes. His eyes were covered with ripples of light, and his long red hair blocked his vision. No one could see his eyes clearly." Minami, Yaehiko, there's a powerful figure coming. It's an enemy!"
After hearing Nagato's words, Yabhiko and Minami both opened their eyes and looked at each other before jumping down from the roof of the car. Yabhiko waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop and asked Nagato," Where are we going?" Are there any enemies nearby? Nagato extended his right hand forward, indicating that the strongman was just ahead of him." There's no reaction from the Chakra nearby." Yabhiko immediately made a decision." The convoy will stop moving forward. One side will be affected by the battle. Minami, Yabhiko, let's go." From this capable Yabhiko, it could be seen that he had grown a lot during this mission. He was completely different from the Yabhiko of the past.
Little South and Nagato followed behind Yabhiko, and the three of them quickly headed in the direction Nagato pointed. The three of them were not slow. In less than five minutes, they saw the strong man that Nagato mentioned. It was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a Muye's forehead protector and looked very ordinary. He was wearing a Muye Jounin vest and stood in the middle of the road. It went without saying that this middle-aged Muye ninja was coming for their team. They didn't know why Muye would attack them, but no matter what, since they were enemies, they could only attack. The battle began.
Minami, who was still moving, began to make hand seals. After a few hand seals, he immediately completed the Paper Shuriken Technique. A piece of paper shuriken floated out from Minami's clothes. Under Minami's control, it drew its own arc and shot towards the Chuunin Ninja. Yaehiko and Nagato did not stay idle either. Nagato's chakra capacity was huge, and he was also proficient in many ninjutsu techniques. After Minami's Paper Shuriken Technique, Nagato's fireball followed, but Yaehiko could not. His chakra capacity could only be considered ordinary. During battle, he had to save chakras. He held Kuna in his hand and prepared himself after the ninjutsu.
The first to arrive was Lil 'Nan's paper shuriken. The middle-aged ninja moved very quickly, dodging Lil' Nan's paper shuriken in two flashes. However, he was also moving toward Nagato's fireball, which Lil 'Nan had calculated in his heart. At this moment, Nagato's fireball reached the middle-aged ninja and exploded with a loud bang. Nagato's fireball hit the middle-aged ninja completely, and the area was blasted into a small pit." How is it? Did you kill him?" Yaehiko asked without turning his head. Nagato looked at the place where the smoke and dust had come from with a solemn expression. His tone was a little serious as he said," No, no, I can still feel his chakra." As expected, the smoke and dust had been blown away, and the middle-aged ninja appeared in front of the three of them unscathed. No, it couldn't be said that he was unscathed. His clothes were a little damaged, which was caused by the explosion.
" How is that possible?" Xiao Nan was a little stunned. Under the long gate's fireball, only his clothes were damaged. This was the first time they had seen such a powerful figure. When they were with Hasegawa, although they had heard of his legend, they had never seen him fight. They were not sure how strong this 'Three Claw Scar' was.
Yaehiko was in front, Nagato was on the left, and Minami was on the right, forming a triangular offensive formation. The middle-aged ninja from Kiha was emitting a powerful chakra aura. He was staring straight at Yaehiko, giving off a strong sense of oppression. Minami and the other two were staring at each other under this oppression. Suddenly, Muye's Chuunin Ninja's figure became blurry. It was the blurred vision caused by the rapid movement. However, it was not the same for Little Nan and the other two. Nagato, who had the Reincarnation Eye, could clearly see that the Chuunin Ninja was rapidly approaching them and was about to arrive in front of Yaehiko. The middle-aged ninja pulled back his right fist, and the powerful chakra was gathering. The air around the powerful chakra's fist was distorted, but Nagato's eyes could keep up, but his body could not. Although Xiao Nan could not see clearly, she could feel that the three of them were in great danger. However, she did not know what to do at this moment, and her mind went blank for a moment.
" Yahiko, quickly retreat!" Nagato would have to take care of the situation at the critical moment, but how could they possibly have enough time? The figure of the Koba Ninja appeared in front of Yaehiko. He swung his fist at his chest, but before he could hit him, the clothes on Yaehiko's chest began to tear. One could imagine how powerful the fist of the middle-aged ninja was. If it hit him, Yaehiko would definitely be smashed into powder.
At the most critical moment, Nagato's left hand was facing the middle-aged ninja. Chakra surged crazily, and his reincarnation eye was stimulated to the point of pain."Ha!" Nagato shouted loudly, and an inexplicable fluctuation was emitted from his left hand. Then, a transparent spherical shield enveloped the three of them. The middle-aged ninja's fist also collided with the shield in the most intense way. With a muffled bang, the ground shattered and was sent flying by an invisible force. Dust and some fragments of the earth were blasted into the sky. A large area of Yan City enveloped this area. After which, a shockwave erupted in all directions, and a large area of the earth was destroyed by this shockwave.
A figure rushed out from the smoke and dust. After bouncing a few times on the ground, he slid for a long distance and stood still. It was the Muye Chuunin Ninja. However, this middle-aged ninja was in a very sorry state. His right arm was missing from his shoulder, and blood was flowing down. However, he did not frown at all. He used his remaining left hand to wipe his shoulder, and the bleeding shoulder stopped bleeding. He stared at the place covered in dust and did not move.
Finally, the dust was blown away from the area where Little Nan and the other two were standing. The area was in ruins, but the area where the three of them were standing was not affected at all. However, outside the spherical barrier, a huge pit that was more than ten meters deep and unknown in width appeared. At this moment, Zhangmen was covering his eyes with his left hand. For some reason, his eyes that had hurt earlier were in even more pain now. Moreover, Zhangmen's nose was bleeding. Little South and Yabhiko also turned around after the loud explosion. Yabhiko was covered in cold sweat. It was too dangerous just now. If it wasn't for Nagato, he would have died now. This wasn't the first time. Back then, they encountered the battle between the current Three-in-One Koba and the leader of the Rain Enduring, Shanjiao Fish Hanzo. They were affected by the aftermath of the battle. At that time, they relied on Nagato and the other two to survive. They turned around and looked at Nagato's painful expression. A feeling of anger rose in Yahiko's heart. He was angry at himself. If he hadn't accepted this mission on his own accord, the three of them wouldn't have encountered such a thing. Even if he died, he wouldn't implicate Little South and Nagato. He had already made up his mind.
Little Nan was at a loss when she saw Zhangmen's appearance. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Zhangmen's eyes, but she had no idea what to do. She could only support Zhangmen and prevent him from falling to the ground.
" Minami, take Nagato and leave quickly. I'll hold this guy back," Yahiko said to Minami without turning his head, staring at the middle-aged ninja. When Minami heard this, he was instantly enraged. He had never expected that Yahiko would actually say something like that. The three of them had lived together for so long, how could they just watch as Yahiko died?" No, if you want to leave, then leave." Nagato endured the discomfort in his eyes and stood up." Yahiko, you can't do this. Minami is right. If you want to leave, let's go together." Yaehiko was also speechless. He had nothing else to say." Minami, Nagato, let's go." The three of them once again charged towards the Chuunin Ninja.
Meanwhile, this Chuunin ninja who had been silent all this while still had his eyes fixed on Yaehiko. He also charged towards the three of them with his remaining left hand while carrying the powerful chakra. The battle erupted once again. The three of them, who had the will to fight to the death, erupted with powerful strength. Little South's Paper Evasion was very sharp. Even with the middle-aged ninja's physique that could withstand Fire Evasion, he did not dare to try it. Although Nagato's eyes hurt, he still used his full strength. Moreover, he could control that invisible barrier. It played a big role in the battle and blocked many powerful punches from the middle-aged ninja. Yaehiko's attacks were even more desperate, completely disregarding his own injuries. Under the attacks of the middle-aged ninja, he was also the most seriously injured.
The battle did not last long. In the end, the middle-aged ninja was hugged by Yabhiko. Then, Minami's Paper Evasion and Nagato's sharp Wind Evasion killed the middle-aged ninja. Yabhiko was also seriously injured by the middle-aged ninja. If it wasn't for Minami's quick reflexes and the fact that he had given Yabhiko the miraculous medicine that Hasegawa had given him, Yabhiko might have died here. In fact, if the middle-aged ninja had not lost an arm, he would not have been killed by the three of them so quickly.
After the battle, Nagato carried Yahiko back to the convoy. On the second half of the journey to the capital of the River Country, there were no ninjas attacking them. This also made Little South and Nagato heave a sigh of relief. After resting for half a month in the capital of the River Country, Yahiko's injuries recovered. He then returned to Rain Ninja Village with the proof of completion of the mission and the reward.
In the distance, Hoodlum was sitting cross-legged in the shadow of a rock. His eyes were closed, and his hands were still forming seals from time to time. After the three of them killed the middle-aged ninja, Hoodlum opened his eyes and smiled. He didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest. Although they didn't achieve their goal, the unexpected harvest was enough. However, this ninjutsu was still a little immature. Moreover, the physical fitness of that Koba Ninja was really too poor. If it wasn't for the fact that the Muye Ninja would have a better result, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to find a Muye Ninja. Moreover, there was only one Muye Ninja in such a large area.
If it was a real physical technique type shadow level combat power, how could he have lost an arm so easily? Although the ninjutsu could increase the chakras to the maximum, the strength of the body was still the same. Although he could use chakra strengthening, the bottom line was too low. It would not work if it exceeded the endurance of the arm. However, this ninjutsu wasn't complete yet. When it was completed, there would be no more problems. This was the ninjutsu that Hasegawa had thought of for the safety of Maitreya. However, this ninjutsu was an incomplete ninjutsu. He didn't expect this result. However, this ninjutsu was very useful and fun.
