After fifteen days of traveling, they were getting closer and closer to the Grass Country. The fat merchant sat in the carriage and looked at the Grass Country with joy. That was his hometown and the starting point of his future life. As long as he sold the specialties he brought back from Muye, he would be able to obtain a large sum of wealth.
Money, beauties, status, as long as he returned to the Grass Country, he would be able to touch all of them.
The border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Fire was a plain, and there was nothing blocking his line of sight. A gentle breeze blew, and the grass on the ground rustled.
After stepping into the Grass Country, the team moved forward for about 10 kilometers. Grass Shinobu, who was at the border of the Grass Country, appeared in front of Ma Hui and the others.
"Stop." The three grass ninjas stood in front of Ma Hui and the rest.
The three of them were around 20 years old and were wearing the Chuunin costume of the village.
Shouta Kondo walked in front of the convoy and said,""We are Ninjas from Kanye, escorting our employer to the Grass Country. This is the entry declaration written by our Lord Naruto.”Kondo Shouta took out a scroll and handed it over.
One of them took the scroll, while the other two retreated a distance. It was obvious that they wanted to prevent the scroll from being damaged so that they could react in time and inform their companions.
After receiving the scroll, the grass ninja opened it and looked at it carefully. The other two grass ninjas looked at Ma Hui and the others warily.
Then, the Grass Ninja nodded at his companions. One of them took out a similar proof of clearance and handed it to Kondo Shouta along with the scroll.
"Alright, it's fine now. Let's go!" Shouta Kondo said to the team.
The Grass Country was a tiny place compared to the Fire Country. However, the Grass Country's Grass Ninja Village was not to be underestimated.
In fact, no ninja could be underestimated, even if they were as weak as ants.
Soon, they arrived at a small town in the Grass Country. After passing by a place, the merchant shouted for the carriage to stop. He jumped off the carriage and looked left and right. It was hard to imagine how his bloated body managed to jump off the carriage.
"Why isn't he here yet?" He looked around anxiously as if he was waiting for someone.
"Daddy!" From afar, a few people rushed over. One of the young men waved his hand and ran over quickly.
When the merchant saw who it was, the anxiety on his face disappeared." You're finally here. I've been waiting for you."”
"Dad, I'm sorry. I was delayed by something. Let me introduce you. This is Captain Miura.”The person pointed at a tall grass ninja.
" Hello, Captain Miura." The merchant greeted politely.
Kakashi, who was in the convoy, looked at the father and son with a hint of envy in his eyes. Once upon a time, he could do the same. Unfortunately, everything was gone.
The young man then looked at Muye and the others. He came to them and said,"I am Uchida. Thank you for protecting my father along the way.”
"There, there." Shouta Kondo spoke on behalf of everyone.
Unlike his father, Uchida was a very polite person.
The merchant coughed and said,""Your mission is complete. Just escort me here."
"Give me the mission scroll. I'll just sign it.”The merchant took out a pen and said.
"Alright!" Since the employer had said so, Kondo and Murakami took out their mission scrolls and handed them to the merchant. After the merchant signed them, they returned them to the two of them.
The merchant did not pay any attention to the people from Kogawa Village. Instead, he said to the ninjas from Caoin Village,""Captain Miura, I'll leave the rest of the journey to you.”
Miura nodded slightly and arranged for the few grass ninjas beside him to take over the work of the Koba people.
The handover was completed very quickly. The merchant had already arranged for his son to entrust Cao Ren to escort him to his destination. Perhaps in his opinion, the ninjas from his own village were much more reliable.
"Captain, is this okay?" After they left, Murakami looked at Kondo Shouta and asked in confusion.
"Since the employer has already decided, there's nothing we can do.”Shouta said helplessly.
Ma Hui looked at Kakashi to see what he would do. At this moment, Kakashi was focusing on his mission. Ma Hui wanted to see if he was still following the merchant and escorting him to his destination. Unfortunately, Kakashi didn't continue with the mission. Clearly, he had decided that the mission would end here.
Kakashi's two teammates also looked at Kakashi. They had spent quite a bit of time with Kakashi and were worried that Kakashi would continue with the mission. In the end, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Kakashi had not moved. Before this, there had been many similar incidents.
"Well, the mission is about to end. It's time for us to return to Muye.”Kakashi's captain, Murakami said.
"I really need to relax.”Shouta Kondo stretched his back and said to Murakami,""Murakami, go back and have a good drink!”
"Alright!"
The mission was over, and everyone was somewhat relaxed.
"How about this! Let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow!”Ma Hui suggested as he looked at the enthusiastic people.
Everyone looked at Ma Hui. Uchiha, who was usually cold and focused only on cultivation, actually suggested to rest. If it wasn't for Ma Hui's presence, everyone present would have thought that someone else had used a transformation technique to transform into Ma Hui.
Kakashi also looked at Ma Hui in astonishment, his face filled with confusion. During this period of time, everyone had come to understand each other. The fact that Ma Hui was cultivating even in his sleep had also been noticed. This had deeply stunned Kakashi. He admitted that he was unable to maintain the concentration of chakras for 24 hours.
"Is there a reason?" Kondo Shouta looked at Ma Hui.
"No, it's just that I've been cultivating repeatedly and I don't have enough sleep, so I need a night to rest.”Ma Hui also looked at Kondo Shouta and said calmly.
"I see! Alright then, I'll rest for the night and set off tomorrow. Captain Murakami, what about you?" Kondo looked at Murakami.
Murakami looked at his team members after hearing what Kondo said. Two of them shook their heads. Murakami then looked at Kakashi. Kakashi hesitated for a moment before shaking his head as well. "Captain Kondo, we don't need it." We want to rush back immediately."
"Be careful then." Shouta said.
"You guys have to be careful when the time comes.”Murakami said and left with his team members.
" Captain…" Before Murakami could finish speaking, Shouta said,""Just rest for one night!"
After Murakami heard that, he didn't say anything else.
Resting was only one of Ma Hui's reasons. He needed time to prepare. Ma Hui felt uneasy as if a storm was coming. Of course, it could also be a misperception.
No one could tell the future clearly. Ma Hui couldn't say for sure either. He could only make his own preparations to welcome the unknown future.
