Chapter 40 The Decline of the Earth Spider Clan 1
"Okay!" Yin Yue stood up neatly.
No Naiyu couldn't believe it, he didn't expect Yinyue to agree so readily!
this moment.
The back of Yinyue, illuminated by the firelight, looked so noble in her eyes, exuding a unique charm that warmed her heart.
The shame and embarrassment receded.
This made the excited Nonoyu temporarily forget that the bathtub was originally taken out by Yin Yue.
Nonoyu asked gratefully:
"Captain...if I just refused to join the team, would you...kill me?"
"will not."
Yinyue's face was expressionless, her right hand pressing the tub.
No Naiyu's eyes turned red, his voice was low and full of emotion, and he said sincerely:
"You are such a good person!"
Yinyue nodded and replied calmly: "I will kick you out of the team immediately."
"..."
No Naiyu lowered his head, thinking that this was human nature, and it was already good if they didn't kill her.
What did Yinyue think of? She patted the bathtub with her palm and added: "Also, if you are asked to carry a bathtub filled with bath water, there must be Konoha tracking ninjas nearby. They should be aware of your inexplicable carrying of the bathtub. Something I’m very interested in.”
"Eh?" No Naiyu's expression suddenly changed.
Thinking of her wearing a nun's uniform and carrying a bathtub under the moonlight while walking forward, encountering Konoha ninjas, being taken back for interrogation and torture, and then her reputation spread throughout Konoha and then throughout the ninja world.
By then, even if she is not dead, it will be the same as death.
What an evil idea!
"..." No Naiyu stared straight at Yin Yue's back, trembling all over.
hum-
The space in front of Yin Yue trembled, and the bathtub pressed by his right hand disappeared.
Nonoyu joins them sincerely.
There is no need for him to embarrass the other party.
"call--"
Seeing the bathtub disappear, Nonoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his shame and inner embarrassment completely disappeared.
"Rest, I'll keep watch." Yinyue looked around the camp. The Uchihas and Yuhi Kurenai had already fallen asleep.
The journey of escape was exhausting.
"it is good."
No Naiyu seemed to be leaning on Yin Yue. After nodding in agreement, he lay down directly on the grass next to Yin Yue without any thought of leaving the place.
She and Yuhi Hong occupy the positions to the left and right of Yin Yue.
Yin Yue turned a blind eye to this.
He sat down slowly and realized that the green medicine in his body had been completely digested, and his body strength once again increased by 0.01% of that of an adult man.
In the future, as long as there is enough green medicine, it will be refreshed repeatedly every day and the speed at which the power will be increased will become extremely terrifying.
……
……
The foot of Mount Katsuragi.
One thousand meters away.
In the dark woods, a team of fifty people drove twenty carriages filled with goods toward the plain in front of the forest.
The torches in the hands of the team members illuminated the forest path and also illuminated the flag symbolizing the Earth Spider clan on the carriage.
Tuk - Tuk - Tuk -
The sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of wheels.
The caravan moves forward like a long queue.
This is the caravan where the Earth Spider clan goes out to sell goods and purchase supplies in Katsuragi Mountain.
In the carriage at the front of the team were three men and two women wearing leather armor and dressed as guards.
There was also an old man with white hair and a cute girl with wavy blond hair.
Among the few people, only the old man and the blond girl were members of the Earth Spider Clan. As for the guards on the car, they were followers recruited from the mercenary market town to escort the caravan.
Gollum—
The carriage jolted.
"Well--"
The beautiful face of the blonde girl under her white forehead showed an uncomfortable expression. She often put her delicate hands under her buttocks sitting on the long wooden board to bear the pain of the bumps.
The white-haired old man shook his gray sleeves, glanced at the girl with his slender eyes, his expression was gloomy, and he lamented in his heart:
"Alas, the Earth Spider Clan has experienced a decline in talent since the Third Ninja War, and now there are not many reliable ninjas available in the clan.
Even the caravan guards had to be recruited from mercenary towns.
As the clan leader's daughter, Hotaru was entrusted with the important task of looking after the caravan, and she had to go out with me, an old man who was over 80 years old.
Ugh……
When can we, the earth spider clan, revive the prosperous days when we were able to tremble everywhere with our 'Forbidden Technique to Rage the Heavens', and when we signed an alliance with Konoha as equals! "
quack-
The old man responded with the sad and hoarse cries of a flock of night crows in the forest.
flap--
The white-haired old man looked up and saw countless birds flying out above the woods. He always felt that something was wrong.
Ying frowned, looked at the old man beside her, and asked softly:
"Great Elder, how long until we can return to our clan?"
It was the first time she left her tribe to perform an escort mission. When it got dark, she was completely confused.
The great elder of the Earth Spider Clan stroked his gray goatee, narrowed his eyes and smiled peacefully:
"It's almost there, it's almost there."
Yingying looked helpless and sighed to herself, it's almost here, it's almost here, she could hear ear cocoons all the way.
She looked towards the front of the carriage.
It was quite lively there.
The guard captain, who was wearing a green short robe and leather armor, chatted and laughed with his two female guard companions, and the atmosphere was peaceful and cheerful.
When Yingying hired this escort, she felt that since there were girls in the escort, they might have something in common to talk about on the road.
But along the way, the two girls ignored her, the employer who paid for the escort.
Of the two female guards, one wore a pointed cylindrical hat and held a wooden stick in her hand; the other had long blue hair and a plump figure. Both of them were beautiful, which made Firefly envious.
The girl and the old man fell into silence.
Firefly suddenly clenched her hands into fists and mustered up the courage to join the conversation with the guard captain.
She looked at the other party nervously and asked:
"Um...Captain Zongquan, did you really not hear anything in the forest just now?"
The cheerful chat was interrupted by this question.
Zong Quan, who was wearing a green short robe, looked back at his beautiful employer and grinned:
"Don't worry, Miss Firefly.
There are often strange noises in the mountains and forests.
But as long as we're here.
The caravan will definitely arrive at the Earth Spider Clan safely. We are a convoy with quality, ethics and strength. If you choose us with your discerning eyes, you will choose safety! "
Zong Quan's eyes were shining, and his words were sonorous, powerful, and very convincing.
However, he really didn't hear any noise. Thinking that he might have just been chatting with his companions, he naturally ignored it.
But what does that matter.
It’s been a long journey.
The caravan met many bandits and low-level rebels. Those people were easily dismissed when they saw the flag of the Earth Spider clan and Zongquan's deception.
It's almost 'home'.
What else could be dangerous?
In Zong Quan's opinion, this escort business is stable and there will be no problems at all!
Yingying was worried. She looked up at the clouds under the moonlight, which looked like they had been cut open by a sword, but at this time most of the clouds had dissipated.
She still couldn't help but ask:
"The clouds in the sky..."
Zong Quan interrupted with a smile:
"I did see this. The height of the cloud was not too high. Maybe it was a spectacle created by the falcons, who had no nightlife and were idle and bored!"
"..."
Yingying lowered her brows and pinched her palms.
She finally started the conversation with the other party, but was unwilling to let it go and continued to ask:
"Captain Soizumi, as a hired guard from a nearby market town, you should have heard of the Konoha S-class rebel ninja that caused a lot of commotion recently, right?"
The words came out.
Zong Quan immediately became interested, took out the newspaper from his arms, and said with an excited smile:
"Hey, Uchiha drinks the moon, right?"
