Chapter 171 The Increasingly Turbulent Undercurrent (Additional Update for the Helmsman, the Immortal Orange Saint!)
Three days later, the Sanhe squad gathered together again to escort a large amount of cargo towards the Kingdom of Iron.
However, due to the war, Mikawa decided to head west first, avoiding the fighting front line, and then entered the country of Taki via the country of grass, and then arrived at the final destination of the country of iron.
Although following this route will waste a lot of time, it is safer.
As for the Country of Grass, Qingyu is very familiar with it.
Because it was there that he was chased by the ninjas of the Earth Kingdom and then rescued by Madara. Obito also 'died' here.
And Madara’s base, where the Akatsuki organization currently holds meetings, is also there!
And the west of the Kingdom of Grass borders the Kingdom of Rain...
If possible, he really wanted to persuade Mikawa to change his route!
But he couldn't explain his reasons, because apparently this route was indeed the safest.
So in desperation, Qingyu could only hope that they would not be so unlucky to meet Akatsuki members.
Now he has a total of two Akatsuki rings in his hand. The original ring is kept carefully in his ninja bag, and the scarlet swordsman Yasuo's red ring is placed on his body.
Once in danger, he can also switch his vest to save everyone.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Everyone will repair on the spot and continue on their way after an hour."
As Mikawa issued the order, the entourage from the Country of Tea, who had been on the road for many days and suffered terribly, immediately sat on the ground, drinking water, eating, and seizing every minute to rest!
There was no way, it was different from the usual escort mission. Before setting off, the representative of the Country of Tea had already explained the seriousness of the problem and asked everyone to follow the arrangements of the Mikawa Jonin.
Obviously, all the credit for that A-level mission was placed on the only Jonin. As for the other brats, as long as they don't hold back, thank God.
Therefore, from the moment of departure, whether it is the arrangement of the route, the time of travel every day, or the resting place, all are firmly controlled by Mikawa.
The Mikawa class may have become accustomed to this model, but other ordinary people are dying.
During the break, the person in charge of the caravan approached Mikawa with a smile on his face.
"Lord Mikawa, although we prepared a lot of supplies before setting off, if we continue to go around like this, I am afraid that the people I brought will not be able to bear it."
Mikawa didn't want to take this mission at first, but now after hearing what the other party said, he didn't even raise his eyes, "Either follow my route and go to the Iron Kingdom safely, or you can cross the frontline battlefield on your own. We It’s your choice to give up this escort mission.”
"It's not that we don't believe Mikawa-sama, but...is it really necessary? With Konoha's strength, the invading Kumogakure is definitely no match! As long as we arrive at the front line, and then let some ninja-sama work hard, wouldn't it? ..."
Mikawa was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the other party had this idea.
Didn't you Konoha say that all your men are on the border battlefield? Then we will risk our lives and then let your frontline ninjas send us there!
This is not only safer, but also greatly saves time, and they don't have to suffer.
But after Mikawa Jonin saw through this guy's true thoughts, he laughed and shook his head. It was so stupid and cute.
But just think about it, how can ordinary people who are not ninjas imagine how terrifying the battle between ninjas is!
And their little calculation was completely wrong!
If they really get to the front line, it would be great if they are not driven back, but they still want to deploy ninjas to protect them?
Even if I changed my name to the country of tea, I still wouldn’t be treated like this!
So Mikawa flatly rejected this guy. There were only two ways, either listen to him, or break up!
Faced with the Mikawa Jonin who was unable to get in any way, the person in charge of the caravan was paralyzed.
But even if he was secretly annoyed and borrowed some courage from him, he would not dare to break up with the ninjas sent by Konoha in this wilderness, otherwise he would be the unlucky one!
The one-hour rest time passed quickly, and then everyone continued on their way, unable to conceal their exhaustion.
Except for Mikawa, Qingyu and the other three each brought a knife.
This left Moonlight Hayate speechless. He was obviously the only one who used a knife before, but after Qingyu came back, he seemed to be interested in this area as well. He always carried a knife with him wherever he went, but he never saw this guy using it. Like a decoration.
But this time it was better, even Itachi got a short sword and carried it on his back...
What a mess!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
At the same time, the Kumogakure ninjas who were in a stalemate at the border of the Land of Fire obtained a piece of information by coincidence.
It said that Konoha had transported a large number of detonating charms seven days ago and was on its way to the front line.
And in order not to be discovered by Kumogakure in advance, they chose to borrow Daocao and Taki, and then delivered this batch of materials in the Kingdom of Iron that could change the situation of the war!
Yunyin was not a fool, so he naturally realized that this information was obtained somewhat strangely, and the information above may not be true, and it might be a trap.
But the number of detonating symbols described above is really amazing!
If it is true, then all the Kumogakure ninjas on the front line will be in bad luck!
So whether it was true or false, they had to find out.
So Kumogakure's intelligence ninja immediately began to rush to the three countries of Kusanagi, Taki, and Tetsu to start deployment in advance.
If the intelligence is true, they will immediately mobilize their manpower and give them a thunderous blow. They must seize this batch of supplies!
If it is false, those intelligence personnel are naturally not vegetarians, and they will definitely find clues, causing Konoha to waste their energy.
And all of this is naturally someone's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Danzo was not afraid that Kumogakure, who had received false information, would not be fooled, because just like when he deceived Sansho Hanzo, as long as the other party has a trace of fear in his heart, he will never let it go!
Preferring to kill the wrong one rather than letting it go is also the approach chosen by many superiors!
So this is a conspiracy!
And as long as the ninjas of Kumogakure discover that someone is really transporting a batch of supplies and heading towards the Kingdom of Iron according to the route in the intelligence, then the fake will become true!
This is the real way of killing people invisible, without even using one's own soldiers.
And even if something happens then, he won't be able to be found here.
When it comes to these machinations, none of the ten Sarutobis can be a match for Danzo!
But as these Kumogakure ninjas lurked in, Nagato and Konan, who were in the Rain Country next door to the Grass Country, immediately noticed something was wrong.
No matter what the opponent's purpose is, the Heretic Golem cannot afford to lose anything!
So the Six Paths of Pain immediately rushed to the Country of Grass as a backup.
Once you find something wrong, kill them all!
Probably even Danzo didn't expect that he just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed sword, but accidentally encountered the Akatsuki organization's reverse scale.
And once the Akatsuki organization is involved, only God knows the subsequent results!
