Chapter 69 Encountering the Enemy
The speed at which the team moves forward depends on the last person.
Because Obito, Rin, and Kurenai Yuhi were traveling slowly, the overall speed of the team was slowed down. By the time they arrived at Shuikou Town, it was already the third day.
“The black market is usually hidden above ground, in places where people pass by without noticing.”
"Haneda, take Asuma and the others to search for you. Be careful to hide your identities. As for Team 7..."
At this point, Sakumo looked towards Minato.
"Should we act separately?"
Minato smiled and said:
"Let's split up. This town has a large flow of people, so the possibility of getting into danger is relatively small."
"Kakashi, lead Rin and Obito, be careful."
After saying that, Minato threw a kunai at Obito and gently instructed,
"This is the Sword of Ninja Love. Obito, you must keep it safe for the teacher."
"Yes, Minato-sensei!"
Obito held the kunai curiously. At first glance, there was nothing special about it except for the four words on it.
It was Minato teacher who personally instructed him, so Obito put away the kunai very solemnly.
Unlike Obito, Haneda and Kakashi immediately realized that it was the Flying Thunder God Mark.
Although the two of them did not learn Flying Thunder God, it did not affect their understanding of Flying Thunder God.
"I didn't expect that Minato (Minato-sensei) would take such good care of Obito."
Haneda and Kakashi thought to themselves at the same time.
At this time, Sakumo's instructions came.
He is the most experienced senior in the entire team, and this kind of mission is given to him to command by default.
"I'll go north and you go south, Minato."
"As for Haneda and Kakashi, they will lead their teams to explore the east and west respectively."
After saying this, Obito immediately started complaining.
"Damn it! I have to listen to the orders of that idiot Kakashi again. I really want to be with Haneda!!"
"Do you think I just want to stay with you, you loser?" Kakashi immediately retorted.
"Let's go."
Haneda quickly led the team away. He didn't want to wait for Obito and Kakashi to start arguing over him again.
But after walking a few steps, he turned back and said:
"See you later, Obito, Kakashi."
"See you later." Kakashi responded with a smile, and then said to Obito and Rin,
"They're gone. They're the last ones left. Haneda and the others are gone."
…………
As they walked towards North Street, Asuma approached Haneda and asked:
"Brother Haneda, how do you find me?"
"Take your time to look for it, or find the right person to ask for directions."
After saying that, Haneda took off the forehead protector and said to Asuma and Hong,
"Hide your identity first. The black market does not openly welcome ninjas from the five major ninja villages."
"Do you need to use transformation techniques?" Asuma asked again.
"No, there is a lot of traffic here, so it doesn't matter whether we use it or not. Besides, we are not important people. Apart from the village, almost no one knows our intelligence."
Haneda said as he led the two of them to search.
Based on the characteristics of the black market, he focused on places such as toilets and izakayas.
After walking for two and a half minutes, Haneda and his two companions found an izakaya.
Although it was not yet nightfall and there were not many people in the pub, it was still very noisy.
Almost half of the seats were filled.
A drunkard saw the three little devils coming in and teased them:
"Little boy, didn't your parents tell you that children can't drink alcohol? Haha."
Haneda only glanced at the drunkard who spoke rudely, and the drunkard fell to the ground on the spot.
When the people around saw this, they thought the drunkard was drunk and laughed at him.
There was a girl sitting in front of the counter in the izakaya. She was young and pretty, and her smile could arouse men's desire.
But Haneda wasn't interested in her.
He walked straight to the high stool in front of the counter and asked in a low voice:
"Any information on the black market, ma'am?"
"Black market? What black market? Your question is really weird, kid."
The girl placed one hand on the table, her lipstick-coated lips curled up in a seductive smile.
"If you know where it is, tell me. I don't want to be violent towards a lady." Haneda said calmly without changing his expression.
"Coming from out of town?"
Haneda did not deny it, but waited quietly for the next sentence.
"Well, sir, judging by your cool and calm demeanor, you must be a ninja."
The girl whispered and shouted upstairs,
"Ichiro, a guest has arrived."
After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit came down from upstairs.
He glanced at Haneda, then followed his gaze to look at Asuma and Hong who were looking at him curiously from behind Haneda, and asked with a smile:
"Which guest introduced you?"
"I recommend myself. Lead the way."
Haneda stood up and used an illusion to make the middle-aged man subconsciously believe him.
"It turns out to be Mr. K. Please allow me to lead the way for you, my dear gentleman."
The middle-aged man said respectfully.
While speaking, he also made a inviting gesture towards the door of the pub.
“Not at the pub?”
"Yes, sir. The black market is outside the town." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"lead the way."
Then, Haneda rolled up his sleeves and led Asuma and Hong to follow.
Passing through the more crowded North Street, the flow of people became less and less.
Buildings such as houses are also getting further and further away.
Until three figures approached, they were Obito, Kakashi and Rin.
And the person leading the way in front of them was exactly the same as the one on Haneda's side!
"Finally everyone is here."
"The son of the Sandaime, the son of Konoha White Fang, and two brats from the Uchiha family."
"Your heads are valuable, and your girls are very juicy."
Ichiro licked his lips, his eyes showing no sign of hiding his animal nature.
He took off his suit, and his upper body muscles bulged, tearing the clothes apart.
"Asuma, Hong, go back to the village and find Uncle Sakumo and the others."
"Obito, Rin, you too."
Haneda and Kakashi stood in front at the same time and looked at Ichiro and spoke one after another.
"I, Uchiha Obito, cannot abandon my companions!" Obito took out a kunai and prepared for battle.
"me too."
Asuma took out the Chakra knife and said to Hong,
"I'll protect you, Hong, you should go back to find Mr. Sakumo."
"Rin, don't bother us!" Obito added after hearing Asuma's words.
At this time, Ichiro took out a long sword and performed a beautiful sword flower.
"It's very touching, but unfortunately I will not let any of you escape!"
Ichiro showed a ferocious smile, and then moved at an incredibly fast speed, leaving only an afterimage.
In an instant, Ichiro jumped over ten meters and kicked Lin and Hong, who were running towards the village, to the ground.
This speed surprised everyone present.
"Haneda, can you see clearly?"
Kakashi gripped the short sword tightly. He wanted to save people, but this was not a rational decision.
“With great reluctance.”
Haneda's Sharingan stared at Ichiro, but Ichiro seemed to know that Haneda had a three-magatama Sharingan and didn't even look at him.
"Could it be Swift Escape?!"
Even the Sharingan could barely see clearly, and Kakashi immediately thought of this bloodline limit that was good at speed.
