Chapter 82 The man who fought with the God of Ninja, Yagyu’s speechlessness
”I’ll trouble you next, Mr. Yagyu.”
”No, this is my duty.”
Yagyu and the noble’s butler exchanged a few polite words, and then handed each other’s village exit certificates to the gatekeeper Chunin, and left Konoha again after many days.
From beginning to end, Yagyu had never seen the noble, and the other party did not seem to want to meet Yagyu.
After some observation, Yagyu also realized that it should not be the noble who specifically asked Yagyu to escort him, but the shrewd butler who proposed it.
The other party was obviously good at collecting intelligence, and should have received the recent news and knew Yagyu’s identity.
Or, he had seen Yagyu’s strength and knew the Phantom Instant Body Technique during the official Chunin Exam.
It may also be that he knew that Yagyu’s 8th team and the 3rd team had the Byakugan, so he directly commissioned two teams.
Or even all three! Otherwise, the noble would not be so ignorant of this bit of social etiquette.
So, Yagyu was no longer curious about why the other party named him as the captain, and commanded the 3rd and 8th teams to stand on the two sides closest to the carriage, opening the Byakugan from time to time, or sending insects for long-range and close-range perception.
The Bird Country is one of the neighboring countries of the Wind Country.
According to the Ninja World Map, it is to the north of the Earth Country, to the east of the Rain Country, to the south of the Wind Country, and to the west of the Bear Country.
There are three routes from the Fire Country to the Bird Country.
One is through the River Country, the second is through the Rain Country, and the third is through the Grass Country.
If you choose the first route, you need to cross mountains and ridges.
The third route requires crossing a large grassland and passing through the border of the Rain Country or the Earth Country.
So the most suitable route is to pass through the Rain Country.
The nobles who were eager to return to the Bird Country directly asked Liu Sheng and others to choose the second route.
Liu Sheng did not refuse. After all, the customer is God, as long as he is not a rogue like Dazna who has no money, lies about the mission level, and is morally blackmailed after being exposed.
So, the eighth team started walking again.
The speed of the carriage is very slow. Even if the terrain of the Fire Country is very good, if you want to go to the nearest River Country, you must not stop anywhere and almost do not rest during the day to leave the Fire Country in three days.
For example, the caravan of the first C-level mission of the eighth team.
The caravan is carrying a huge amount of money and is eager to go back to distribute the money to the villagers of the Iron Mine Village. They are also afraid of encountering accidents on the road, so they did not stop at all.
But the nobles of the Bird Country are obviously not people who can endure hardships.
In this world without cement roads and with bumpy carriages, the nobles of the Bird Country only need to take a break after a few hours.
When passing by a more prosperous town, they would stop to buy something, and even stay in the town when they saw it was getting late.
The third and eighth teams were very helpless, but they didn’t say anything.
Fortunately, the nobles of the Bird Country were generous, and the food and accommodation expenses of the third and eighth teams were all covered by him.
Every night, the eighth and third teams took turns to keep watch.
It took a full ten days for the caravan to leave the Fire Country, which was more than three times the time of the Iron Mine Village caravan in the River Country.
When he thought about having to pass through a Rain Country and walk a distance in the Bird Country, Yagyu felt like vomiting.
In the future, he would probably have a stress response when hearing about escort tasks.
He would rather assassinate the Five Kage than do this kind of task.
However, the torture has just begun! The Ninja Continent is a very unique continent.
Each place on this continent has a unique climate and terrain.
The countries and villages built in these places will be named according to the characteristics of the place.
For example, the characteristics of the Wind Country are deserts and strong winds.
The characteristics of the Earth Country are rocks and mountains.
The characteristics of the Thunder Country are towering peaks and the sound of thunder.
The River Country is mountains and rivers.
The Rain Country, as the name suggests, rains all year round, and all four seasons are rainy seasons.
It’s okay within the country, there are still many sunny days in a month.
The Hidden Rain Village ruled by the Akatsuki organization is really outrageous.
Except for Sunday, when it will be sunny, the other six days will be caged by Nagato’s Rain Tiger Freedom TechniqueCovered.
However, the luck of Liu Sheng and others was obviously not very good.
Not long after the convoy entered the Rain Country, the sky became overcast and soon it began to rain heavily.
When the rain and yellow mud mixed together, the ground was like a swamp, and the carriage could not move.
The already slow speed became even slower.
The wheels would occasionally drive into the potholes with accumulated water and get stuck for a while.
The third and eighth teams wearing raincoats looked at it speechlessly.
Then the warm-hearted Xiao Li couldn’t help it and took the initiative to help push the cart.
It was five days later when the convoy drove out of the Rain Country.
It took five days for such a small country.
It took half a month from Konoha to now.
This further strengthened Liu Sheng’s idea that he would never accept escort missions again.
Just as Yagyu and others entered the Land of Birds and were slowly heading towards their destination.
In a deserted forest road in the Land of Birds, a complaining voice was heard in a teahouse built on the roadside.
”I say, Brother Kakuzu, we will be back to the Land of Rain in a little while. Do you need to work another job?”
”Where will you get the money if you don’t work? Who will pay for your food and drinks along the way?”
”Even if that’s the case, there’s no need to work while looking for prey, and then continue working on the way back, right?”
”You said your religion can make money, so I teamed up with you, but your religion can’t make a penny. If your head wasn’t worthless, I would have taken your head off and exchanged it for money on the black market.”
”Hey, hey…you’re going too far. I work and hunt for money. Didn’t I give you all the money?”
”If it weren’t for this, I would have killed you, a guy who only knows how to waste money!”
”But you, brother Kakuzu, are quite principled. You didn’t kill that boss.”
”His head is worthless, and he will give me money after he comes back. Maybe I will have the opportunity to work for him in the future. It’s not worth killing him.”
”…”
The picture zooms in, and a young man with a gray slicked back hair, wearing ordinary clothes, a white apron in front of him, and a towel on his shoulders, is sitting at the door of the teahouse, looking for topics in a boring way.
The person talking to him is a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a shopkeeper, with a black mask on his face, and his eyes don’t look like a good person.
However, this middle-aged man who looks ferocious is diligently wiping the table and cleaning the teahouse at this time, which is full of contrast.
These two people are the immortal duo in the Akatsuki organization – Kakuzu and Hidan.
”Hey… Brother Kakuzu, someone is coming.”
At this time, Hidan, who was picking his nose, suddenly seemed to have discovered something and shouted hurriedly.
”Go out and attract customers. We get commissions for making money.”
”Got it, got it.”
Hidan immediately walked out of the door and waved a towel at the convoy coming in front.
”Lord Yoshikawa, there is a teahouse in front. Do you want to take a break?”
The butler of the nobles of the Bird Country saw this scene and immediately asked the nobles in the carriage.
”Okay, stop and rest.”
After getting the response, the butler immediately gave an order: “Pull over and rest for a while.”
”Yes.”
The coachman and ordinary guards immediately parked the carriage next to the forest road.
The noble with a big belly got off the carriage with the help of the butler and walked towards the teahouse.
The third and eighth teams followed closely behind.
Seeing the forehead protectors on the heads of the third and eighth teams, Feiduan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself: “This forehead protector, is it a ninja from Konoha?”
On the surface, he greeted them very warmly: “Welcome, guests, please come in, please come in…”
It’s not good to be not enthusiastic, otherwise he will be scolded by Kakuzu again.
”Welcome, what do you want to eat?”
After the nobles took their seats, Kakuzu also came over with a pot of tea and asked very politely.
However, when he saw the third and eighth teams standing behind the nobles, especially Hinata with a forehead protector hanging on her neck and a smooth forehead, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his green eyes.
On the surface, he handed a menu to the noble, waiting for his order.
”Please give me some snacks. I don’t like other pig food.”
The noble just glanced at it., he said with a look of disdain.
”Okay.”
Jiao didn’t say anything, but turned and left.
Looking at his departing back, Hyuga Neji frowned slightly, and then made a few gestures to Yagyu, all of which were communication codes taught in the ninja school.
Hyuga Neji’s gestures meant very simple, which was to remind Yagyu that the man was not simple.
Yagyu also responded by changing gestures continuously, indicating that he knew that the owner and employees of this teahouse were not simple, and they had a strong chakra in their bodies, so they must not act rashly.
At the same time, Yagyu was also guessing the identities of these two people.
Unlike recognizing Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame at a glance, Yagyu did not recognize the immortal duo.
After all, they were not wearing the uniforms of the Akatsuki organization, and they did not have the forehead protectors of the rebel ninjas.
But the chakra in their bodies is very strong, not inferior to elite jonins such as Sarutobi Asuma and Hatake Kakashi.
Their strength is at least elite jonin, and there are two of them.
Why would such a strong man appear in a teahouse in this small country?
Is he tired of disputes and chose to live in seclusion here?
Yagyu didn’t know, but just like he reminded Hyuga Neji, he couldn’t act rashly.
Since the other party has no hostility, just pretend that they don’t know their identities.
Otherwise, if you take action here, it is easy to kill the client, which is a serious dereliction of duty.
Not only will you waste half a month, but you won’t get a penny. After you go back, you may be verbally taught a lesson by Tsunade, and leave a big bad review on your record.
Yagyu didn’t want to have such a stain on his first team.
So, Yagyu cheered up and was alert to Kakuzu and Hidan.
At the same time, he secretly opened his red eyes to see if Jiao Du would poison the food.
But fortunately, the other party seemed to be a powerful person who lived in seclusion here. He did not tamper with the snacks and served them out quickly.
The nobles of the Bird Country ate snacks and drank tea while asking the butler to buy several pots of tea and a large number of snacks and send them to the grooms and guards.
Then he invited the Yagyu people to sit down and eat something, but they were rejected by the Yagyu people.
As ninjas, when they were on a mission outside, they basically only ate military ration pills unless they were sure to rest, so as not to delay the mission due to physical problems.
The nobles of the Bird Country seemed to know the nature of ninjas and did not force them.
After more than half an hour, the rested noble convoy continued its journey.
“Goodbye, dear guests. Welcome to visit us next time.”
Hidan waved a towel to see them off, then sat down on the bench at the door and exhaled, “I’m so tired. I feel that working is more tiring than killing people.”
”Is there any job in this world that makes money without being tired?”
Kakuzu suddenly took out two packages from under the counter, threw one of them to Hidan, and said, “Hurry up and put on your clothes. It’s time to work.”
”Huh?”
Hidan was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, “Are you not going to work anymore?”
”I found the prey, why do I need to work?”
Kakuzu put on the clothes of the Akatsuki organization and said in a deep voice. Said: “The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan’s main family is worth a fortune, and it is a rare treasure in the black market.”
”The Byakugan of the main family, are you talking about the two Konoha ninjas with white eyes?”
Hidan took off his apron and put on his uniform while curiously asking: “Then why didn’t you attack them just now?”
”Nonsense, I’m an employee here. If I break this place, I will not only have to pay compensation, but I won’t get my salary. Wouldn’t I have worked for nothing these days?”
”Brother Kakuzu, you really only care about money.”
”…”
At this time, Yagyu, who had already left the teahouse far away, suddenly changed his face.
He quickly made a seal with one hand: “Shadow Clone Technique!”
With two ‘bangs’, white smoke filled the air.
After creating two shadow clones, Liu Sheng suddenly said to the housekeeper: “The enemy is coming, you speed up and we will hold them back.”
”Okay, please.”
The housekeeper’s face changed slightly, and he nodded quickly, urging: “Speed up!”
”Yes!”
The driver responded and hit the horse’s butt with a whip, and the speed of the carriage increased immediately.
Liu Sheng’s two shadow clones followed, while the third and eighth teams stopped where they were.
Swoosh——
Almost ten seconds after they stopped, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was immediately heard.In their ears.
With veins bulging in his temples, Hyuga Neji immediately sent out a large distorted airflow in the direction of the sound of breaking through the air.
”Eight Trigrams·Empty Palm!”
With a clang, a red three-section sickle with a chain at the end fell to the ground.
Then, a figure appeared next to the sickle and picked it up.
Another figure appeared on the other side of Team 3 and Team 8 at some point, and the two blocked the way forward and retreat of Team 3 and Team 8.
Seeing these two people, Hyuga Neji and Hinata, who had already opened their Byakugan, seemed to have discovered something, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
The carefree Xiao Li and the lively Tian Tian also became extremely serious.
Obviously, they all sensed the dangerous aura.
The expressions of Yagyu and Aburame Shino also became very solemn.
Seeing the uniform, Yagyu has recognized Kakuzu and Hidan.
He was speechless about this.
The first time he performed a C-level mission, he met Kuroko Raiga, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The second time he left Konoha openly, he met the strongest duo of Akatsuki.
Now he left Konoha for the third time and met the immortal duo again.
What kind of luck is this?
Could it be that he exploded Ashura’s chakra from Naruto, and also exploded his protagonist halo? So hateful?
The key is that the accidents Naruto encountered during the mission were not as outrageous as his! (End of this chapter)
