Chapter 61 is about to arrive
"So, these people are probably the most powerful among all the robbers?"
Hatake Sakumo stroked his chin, thinking thoughtfully, and at his feet lay a group of unconscious ninjas.
“But what should we do with these people?”
If they were still awake, we could just kill them, but now they have lost the power to resist, so wouldn’t it be a bad idea to kill them?
After thinking for a long time, Hatake Sakumo shook his head and turned away.
"How can I waste time here? What if there are other robbery teams and it delays Lu Linjun's business? That would be bad."
From the concave area behind him, blood flowed out and slowly flowed to the middle of the canyon.
. . . . . .
"Hey, do you smell it? The smell of blood is getting stronger."
"Yeah, indeed. Even I smelled it."
In the middle of the caravan, the member with a keen nose was whispering with his friend.
"Tell me, does this canyon have cannibalism? Otherwise, why does it have such a strong smell of blood?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
His companion glanced at the fellow with the sharp nose and said:
"There is no such thing as a canyon that eats people. If there really is one, why would the leader and his men take this road? You are just scaring yourself."
The man nodded, but looking at his expression, he seemed still a little afraid of this canyon.
At the front of the caravan, Mingze waved his hand and asked the entire caravan to stop and rest.
He walked forward cautiously with Shu Mingmo, Cade, and three guard captains.
In front of them, there was a very thin stream of blood that was almost dried up.
"It seems like a lot of people died here."
Mingze said slowly, although he has no talent for ninja, he has seen many dead people after traveling all over the country for so many years, so he did not feel much about this flow of blood.
"How do you know so many people died?"
Cade said:
"We haven't even seen a single body yet."
"Let me go upstairs and check the situation first."
After one of the three captains said this, he disappeared on the spot with a whoosh.
The rest of the people looked at each other and waited where they were.
Not long after, the captain from before walked over with a wooden face.
"A body was found ahead?"
Mingze understood something when he saw his expression.
"Ah."
The captain nodded:
"There is a concave area in the canyon ahead, which is full of ninja corpses. From what I have observed, those corpses seem to have died in a coma."
"Oh?"
Mingze frowned. He didn't understand what method could make a superhuman ninja fall into a coma, and even when facing death, he couldn't wake up.
"Captain Mingze, do you want to keep going?"
They are not sure now whether the one who made those ninjas unconscious is an enemy or a friend.
Although Mingze suspected that it might be someone from Lu Lin's faction who did all this, he had not met that person yet after all, so he had to be careful with everything.
Just as Mingze was about to order to continue resting, a voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Keep going forward. There are no enemies in this canyon."
Mingze's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered:
"keep going!"
Soon, the huge caravan started moving again. Not long after, Mingze and others saw the sunken place.
"Burn all those bodies."
Mingze thought about it, and then asked Cade and several members of the guard team to use fire escape to burn the corpses. After all, it was quite scary to leave these things there.
After dealing with the corpses, the speed of the entire caravan increased again. Mingze had great trust in the voice just now.
Because he knew the owner of the voice, and his master had also told him that the person's strength had reached the level of Kage, which was considered top-notch in the entire ninja world.
Therefore, he didn't have to worry at all that the voice was impersonated by someone else.
In Mingze's heart, the Kage level is already the pinnacle of the ninja world.
Finally, after walking for some more hours, the caravan finally saw the exit of the canyon.
The moment I went out again, the cold feeling finally disappeared, and my whole body began to slowly feel warm.
"It's finally out."
Cade stretched and looked up at the sun. He had never loved the sun so much.
"Let's rest here for a while. We'll walk all the way to the capital of Takikuni in one go."
Mingze's eyes flickered as he looked back at the dark canyon:
“The most difficult part of this business journey has finally been completed.”
In the distance, several dark shadows disappeared after the caravan came out.
Before long, some people knew that a chamber of commerce had successfully left the Senhan Canyon.
. . . . . .
Cloud Hidden Village, Raikage's office.
boom!
"It's fine if we can't kill the caravan, but why didn't any of the people we sent out come back?!"
He slammed his palm heavily on the table, and a crack appeared. Wow! The whole table was split in half.
Looking at the not-so-safe retirement desk, the Raikage assistant twitched his lips:
"Maybe someone is secretly protecting the caravan. Otherwise, an elite team plus a few high-level teams would be able to take it down."
"Humph!"
The Thunder Shadow snorted coldly:
"The Hidden Sky Village has placed most of its combat power in the Land of Water. How could they send so many elite jonin here? It's just a newly established village!"
"Maybe he's not an elite jonin..."
The assistant said slowly.
His words also made the Raikage quiet down, and he sat in the chair behind him and started thinking.
Don't be fooled by his rough appearance, but in fact, that's just his appearance.
"You mean, in Tianyin Village, besides their Kage, there is another Kage-level fighter?"
“A high probability.”
The assistant said:
"Our people went to check that canyon and found many corpses. According to our inference, most of them were from other ninja villages. Although those corpses did not have the marks of other villages, they had the smell of those ninja villages."
After fighting with those ninja villages for so many years, the Cloud Ninjas are very familiar with their smell.
"To be able to kill so many teams without making much noise, only a Kage-level warrior can do it, and one who is also a Kage-level warrior who is good at assassinations and the like."
The Raikage crossed his arms calmly, staring at the cracked wooden table, wondering what he was thinking.
"Sir, do we still need to target this Tianyin Village? Sir?"
The assistant shouted, and the Raikage finally responded:
"For the time being, we will continue to focus on sending spies. By the way..."
The Raikage smiled slightly:
"Spread the news that Konoha was involved in the killing of a merchant caravan."
