Chapter 59 Who are you?
As the entire caravan entered the canyon, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.
"It seems that those guys are already waiting inside."
The figure muttered to himself, then touched the knife behind him, bent his legs slightly, and soon disappeared again.
"Woooooo~"
The caravan was passing through the canyon. The wind above their heads blew through the canyon, making bursts of shrill sounds, causing everyone to tighten their clothes.
"This shabby place actually makes people feel cold all over."
A man delivering goods took out a piece of clothing and put it on, then rubbed it vigorously with his hands together.
"I guess too many people have died in this place."
His companion said, trembling.
Being accustomed to the humid and hot climate of the tea country, one will feel inexplicably uncomfortable when coming here.
"Didn't you bring any extra clothes with you when you went out?"
"No."
The man hugged his shoulders and said helplessly:
"Our team's goal is to go to the Kingdom of Wind in the desert. I thought it would be too hot there, so I didn't bring any extra clothes."
"Are you stupid? Even though it's hot in the desert, that's during the day. I heard that at night the temperature there is high enough to freeze water."
"I do not know either."
The person who didn't bring any clothes cried without tears:
"This is my first time doing business, and I'm thinking of earning some money to get married.
In the past, due to the war, I couldn't visit my wife. Now that our Tea Country has finally stabilized under the leadership of the adults, I thought about going on a business trip with them. Who knew I would have to prepare so many things? "
"Hey, this is my clothes, you wear it first."
His companion handed over a thick coat and said:
"Fortunately, I prepared several sets of clothes in advance, otherwise I would have suffered a lot."
"Thank you so much, Takeshita-kun. When I return from this business trip, I will definitely treat you to a meal at the best restaurant in the village."
Mingze, who was at the front, also discovered that the temperature in the canyon was too low, so he asked his men to light a bonfire on the spot and rest for a while. Then he took out a pile of clothes and distributed them to his men.
Looking at the cotton-padded jacket he had just received, Takeshita scratched his head:
"It seems that the team leaders have been prepared for a long time."
. . . . . .
In a cave somewhere in the canyon, several masked people sat inside in silence.
Not long after, a man wearing a mask walked in.
"Sir, the caravan from Tianyin Village has entered the Senhan Valley."
Senhan Canyon is the canyon that Mingze and his friends entered. Even in summer, the temperature inside the Senhan Canyon remains below zero, and there are often cold winds that are bone-chilling.
"Where are their guards?"
A man who seemed to be the leader said that he was the only one who was not wearing a mask.
"According to investigation, there are a total of twelve ninjas in the Tianyin Village caravan, three of whom are jonin, and the rest are chunin."
After hearing his subordinates' report, the leader sneered:
“I didn’t expect that a small newly established village could send out three jonin to escort the caravan.
When they reach the appointed place, they shall leave them all here.
That’s right…”
The man remembered something, and his expression became a little hesitant:
"Besides the caravan, did you sense the presence of other people?"
"Anyone else?"
The subordinate thought about it carefully, then shook his head:
"No, I didn't feel the emergence of other chakras."
"Really..."
The captain lowered his head and thought, it stands to reason that their team shouldn't be the only one doing the robbery, other villages would also participate to some extent.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s just a good thing those people didn’t come.
The captain forced a smile. If he could get all the goods from Tianyin Village, then the village he was loyal to would have a lot more money.
According to calculations by some people in their village, this batch of goods would allow the village to no longer need funding from the daimyo for more than two years.
"Besides, I can get a reward too."
Greed flashed in the captain's eyes. He felt that the money was enough to last him a lifetime.
"So, you were sent by one of those villages?"
Just as people in the cave were happily discussing how to spend a large sum of money, a voice suddenly rang out.
"who?!"
The ninjas quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a man leaning against the cave entrance holding a knife.
"who are you?"
The leader asked with a frown.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
The man stretched, then stood up straight, looking at the Chunin in the cave with a smile, his eyes without a trace of warmth:
"All you need to know is that I'm here to kill you."
"Do it."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the leader gave an order and the ninjas instantly scattered and rushed towards the mysterious man at the entrance of the cave, with the leader rushing in the front.
The mysterious man's body shook slightly and then disappeared.
When the ninjas who had lost their target were wondering, the sound of a knife stabbing into flesh was heard.
The ninjas looked back and saw that one of their teammates had been stabbed through the heart with a knife.
"Be careful! The opponent is a speed-type ninja."
The mysterious man didn't care about what the other party said. He pulled the knife out of the ninja's body, shook off the blood on it, and then looked at the group of vigilant ninjas slowly:
"Come on, be more lively. Why are you so lifeless?"
His ridicule did not make the ninjas relax their vigilance, but made them even more cautious.
"Who are you? Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
"Misunderstand?"
The mysterious man thought about it, as if he was really looking for an excuse, but soon he shook his head:
"Just think of it as me wanting to stretch my body. Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have other things to do later."
The leader's pupils shrank, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The mysterious man disappeared from everyone's sight once, and the next moment, he appeared in the middle of the ninjas.
With a sudden movement of the sword, another ninja's head was chopped off.
"Quick! Quick! Kill him!"
But no matter how hard the ninjas tried, they still couldn't catch that man's figure, and the number of people still standing in the cave was decreasing.
Accompanied by screams and roars, soon only the leader was left, standing among the corpses with empty eyes.
"Okay, now it's your turn."
The mysterious man spoke softly, and his knife stabbed directly into the chest of the leader who no longer had the will to resist.
"You... who are you?"
At the last moment of his life, the leader still wanted to know who the other party was and why they were picking on them.
Boom!
With a dull thud, the leader's body fell to the ground, and the mysterious man had already disappeared.
(Just turned 100...)
