The entire team walked forward for about two hours without feeling tired. Soaring Eagle noticed that the guards were all slightly tired. He sighed in his heart that their physical fitness was not even as good as his. Then, he turned his gaze to the leaders, Haki Kakashi and Uchiha Weasel. They were still very vigilant of the surrounding movements. They were really very active.
Originally, he had thought that the quest would be extremely interesting, but Soaring Eagle realized that he was wrong. This quest was not as difficult as he had imagined. He did not even encounter mountain bandits or bandits. He felt that Maruyama Tarou hiring Koba was completely unnecessary. He really had money but nowhere to spend it.
" This voice!?" The Flying Eagle immediately perked up and began to observe its surroundings vigilantly. It could hear a sound coming from the bushes. Moreover, this did not sound like the wind blowing, but rather the sound of clothes rubbing against the bushes. There was only one possibility: someone was coming!
Soaring Eagle subconsciously looked at Hatake Kakashi and noticed that his face was calm. As a Jounin, it was impossible for him to be so alert. He must have pretended to be calm because he did not want to alert the enemy. Uchiha Weitake, who was beside him, was also extremely calm, but the difference could be seen in his eyes.
Uchiha Misui, who was beside her, did not seem to notice anything at all. Flying Eagle tugged at the corner of her clothes and used his eyes to signal that something was wrong. Uchiha Misui's reaction was not slow either. She quickly understood what Flying Eagle meant and nodded slightly before becoming vigilant.
The person who came was probably not a ninja, because ninjas would not be so careless to reveal such obvious movements to attract them. Even if it was a ninja, Flying Eagle was sure that this person's strength was not at the level of a Genin. So, what kind of person could it be?
"It's getting closer and closer!" Flying Eagle thought to himself as he heard the voices getting louder and louder. At the same time, he looked ahead and realized that the guards were not prepared at all. Their vigilance was really bad. The difference between ninjas and ordinary people was really huge.
At this moment, the originally calm Uchiha Weasel suddenly shouted,""On the left!" Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the forest by the roadside. The black shadow instantly appeared beside the carriage. Before the two guards could react, their necks were slashed by Kuna.
Looking at the weak guard, the black shadow seemed to have a victorious smile on his face. Just when he thought he was about to succeed, the Soaring Eagle used its extremely fast speed to block in front of him. He thought it would be some powerful ninja, but the black shadow smiled contemptuously and slashed in front of him again.
" What?!" Kuai accurately slashed the Flying Eagle's neck. When something strange happened, the purple-haired ghost in front of him was like air. The black shadow suddenly thought, Clone Technique! When he came back to his senses, he had a cold weapon on his neck.
Flying Eagle held Cold Blood on the black shadow's neck and whispered in his ear,""Move if you want to die!" The black shadow's body was clearly trembling, and the bitter medicine in his hand fell to the ground. Everyone was amazed by the latter's speed and reaction.
At this moment, Hatake Kakashi slowly walked over. The reason he didn't do anything was because he believed in Soaring Eagle's current strength and that he had a way to deal with the current situation. Hatake Kakashi came to the side of the carriage and pulled open the curtains. He coldly said to Maruyama Taro, who was inside the carriage,"Do you have anything else to say now?？”
Tarou Maruyama was still unable to react when he saw Kakashi suddenly appear outside the window. He asked with a puzzled expression,"What is it? What should I say?" Because Hatake Kakashi was blocking his vision, Maruyama Tarou couldn't see what was happening.
"Come out!" He reached out and pulled on Maruyama Taro's sleeve. Hatake Kakashi's right hand pulled hard, and his slightly plump body was like air in his hand. He effortlessly pulled him down from the carriage. Maruyama Taro looked at the scene and suddenly understood.
Because of his height, Soaring Eagle had to lift Coldblood up high to place him on his neck. He kicked the black shadow's knee with all his might, and the black shadow quickly let out a scream before kneeling in front of Kakashi. He turned around and glared at Soaring Eagle. If looks could kill, Soaring Eagle would have died many times over.
When the black shadow turned around, the Flying Eagle saw his appearance clearly. His entire body was covered in black clothes, revealing only his thick eyebrows and fierce eyes! At this moment, Hatake Kakashi pointed at the black shadow and asked Maruyama Taro,""Do you know this person?"
"How would I know him? I don't know him!" Maruyama refused without hesitation. His tone was tinged with nervousness, and even Soaring Eagle could tell the truth from his words. How could he deceive the battle-hardened Hatake Kakashi?
Hatake Kakashi didn't take Maruyama Taro's words to heart. He continued,"If I'm not mistaken, his target was you! His strength could barely be considered a Genin. If you had no enmity with him or anything else, why would he sneak attack you?”
Hearing this, Tarou Maruyama's face instantly turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily,""How would I know? Didn't I hire Muye's ninjas to ensure my safety when I reach Tianhe Village? If these people want to hurt me, you naturally have to kill them!”
"This is a C-rank mission. We won't encounter ninjas! However, the current situation was very different. It was uncertain whether or not they would encounter ninjas on the journey. Therefore, according to the Muye mission rules, if the employer lied about the mission level, we had the right to return to Muye!”
Hatake Kakashi's entire body was emitting a cold aura. Even Soaring Eagle felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Maruyama Taro, who was an ordinary person. At this moment, his face was getting paler and paler. It was as if if he would immediately die if he lied again. It was killing intent!
Killing intent was indeed not to be underestimated! Soaring Eagle thought to himself. At this moment, Maruyama Taro's guards felt that something was wrong. They drew their swords and shouted at Hatake Kakashi,"You bastard, what are you doing! He actually dared to speak to the boss like this. He really didn't know what death was!”
Perhaps he wanted to gain Maruyama Taro's recognition, or perhaps he wanted to show off his might in front of everyone, but the young Imperial Guard suddenly brandished his sword and slashed at Hatake Kakashi. The latter didn't even look at him, raising his right arm to firmly grasp the sword and breaking it with a light force.
"It seems that you are not sincere in cooperating. Then we will take our leave!”Hatake Kakashi snorted coldly and threw the half-sword in his hand onto the ground. He led the Soaring Eagle trio and left, completely ignoring the shocked expressions of the black-robed man and Maruyama Taro. The guards immediately sat down on the ground.
After a long time, Tarou Maruyama shouted to Kakashi,""I'll tell you the truth!"
