Konoha Thief

Chapter 201

Chapter 201

The cloudless sky was pale, and the glaring sunlight scorched the desolate and inhabited wilderness, as if it would not stop until all life was wiped out.

The color of the lizard is already the best camouflage as the lizard crawls across the dry land. In this barren place, it is difficult to see other colors, and all you see is the desolate dark yellow land.

However, no matter what obstacles there are, they are no match for the businessmen's pursuit of profit. When the sun is at its hottest, camel bells are heard, and a caravan is coming from afar in the scorching air.

"Musha, don't waste your energy, come down to me and enjoy the shade." In a carriage of the caravan, a young man with a big umbrella and a grass root in his mouth lay in the shade, and greeted in a frivolous tone. A sassy girl with an indifferent temperament stood up on a horse in front of her and stood up to look out.

"The more peaceful the place, the easier it is for an ambush." ​​Wusha looked back coldly after hearing the words, with a calm but serious expression, "You, a groom, will not understand this."

"Hey! But the groom also knows that such a barren place doesn't even have a home." Takeshita put his head in his hands, laying down much more comfortably, and said with a smile: "So instead of wasting your energy in vain, it's better to be like me. Lie down and sleep."

"Hmph! Are you afraid that you won't be able to wake up if you fall asleep?" Wusha snorted coldly, turned her head and didn't pay much attention to it.

She is the daughter of the captain of the caravan's guard, and it is her duty to guard against any crisis that may strike at any time. It is absolutely impossible for her to be lazy as Takeshita said.

It's just that the weather is so hot that it's like a steamer, and the caravan's speed is severely reduced. In such a vicious circle, it will take three days to cross this barren wilderness, even if everything goes well.

And just as the caravan was moving forward slowly, a goshawk fluttered high above the sky and flew away.

Looking away, outside the barren wilderness, three figures stood scattered on a hillside. A gust of wind blew from the hillside, and the hood of the windbreaker was lifted, revealing three masks with terrifying patterns.

It was the root team of three led by Matsuzaki Natsuki.

"The target didn't notice anything unusual, and still proceeded according to the expected route." Shan Zhongfeng made seals with both hands, and controlled the goshawk to continue to follow.

"Well, follow the plan." Xia Shu, the captain, nodded upon hearing this.

The oily girl Ryoma on the side didn't say a word, but firmly followed the order all the way. As a teammate, he was already competent enough.

The three of them acted immediately. According to the plan, they would let the target slowly move forward in the harsh wilderness, wear down their patience, and then launch an attack when they were about to leave the wilderness.

This mission is for the three of them to work together. The mission objective is not difficult to deal with. Even if they attack directly, there is an [-]% chance of completing the mission, but that would defeat the original intention of the mission.

There is a gust of wind blowing on the wasteland, carrying weeds and gravel, and it is extremely uncomfortable to hit the face. Takeshita controls the reins of the camel with his feet, pulls up his clothes to cover his cheeks, and his face is full of sleepiness. The journey was extremely helpless.

He sighed, and then turned his head to see that his expression softened a little, and he even showed a smile.

"Why are you staring at me again?" Wu Sha clenched the rein of the horse, turned her head coldly, and asked with pretended coldness in her eyes.

"There isn't even a single flower or grass on this road, and Ms. Wusha is the only beautiful existence worth admiring." Takeshita sighed and said, her tone seemed extraordinarily sincere.

"Slick tongue." Wusha snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you a groom, or a part-time poet?"

"Well, if I were a poet, I would definitely be able to recite more beautiful lines. Unfortunately, I am not. I can only let Miss Wusha listen to my glib tongue." , snorted like annoyance, whipped the horse and ran out.

"Hahahahaha!" Takeshita laughed heartily, hooked his toes and almost drove the carriage out of the caravan, but thanks to his quick reaction, he immediately pulled the reins.

Lying on the carriage again, the shade supported by the big umbrella was still so comfortable, he looked at the sky casually, and fabricated the scattered clouds into various shapes in his mind, so leisurely.

It's just that this leisurely mood was immediately destroyed.

The goshawk fluttered its wings, fighting the sky, full of fearlessness, but when it landed in Takeshita's eyes, it made him restrain his expression, a touch of indifference flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't hide his worry.

During the three days in the wilderness, there were always birds passing by in the sky from time to time, and the goshawk, which flew higher than ordinary birds, was particularly obvious.

It is not uncommon for ninjas to domesticate birds as scouts since ancient times, so when you find a goshawk in the sky, you can probably confirm the fact that you are being targeted by ninjas.

However, the missions of ninjas are so strange that it is impossible to determine who the target is before the attack. Everything will be revealed later.

"Ahead is the end of the wasteland." Wusha drove back, her cold expression disintegrated, she took a breath and wiped off the hot sweat on her forehead with a smile, and reported: "There is also a small stream there, reflecting the sparkling light, It seems to be very clear, we can go there to drink some water and maybe catch some fish and shrimp."

"Hehe, okay, let's take a look when we rest there later." The guard captain with a thick beard looked at his daughter with a smile in his eyes, and nagged while passing the handkerchief, "Wipe the sweat off your face, you But a daughter, don't always run around on horseback."

"I didn't run around, I was investigating the situation ahead and eliminating hidden dangers!" Wu Sha frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Just let them do these things, don't tire you." The captain of the guard was full of pity for his daughter's nervous look.

"I have to share your worries." A touch of emotion flashed in Wusha's clear eyes, and she quickly raised her face and said.

"Hehe, Dad is in his prime." The captain of the guard showed relief, waved his fist to show his strength, and smiled with anticipation: "My greatest wish is to see the day you get married, and maybe you will cry so hard at that time." It's miserable, you can't laugh at it!"

"It's too early for you to think about this!" Wu Veil blushed and yelled out of embarrassment, threw out the handkerchief, turned around and left.

At this moment, a trembling sound sounded quietly, and in the next moment, the carriage in the middle of the caravan split open suddenly, as if cut in the middle by a sharp knife, and the goods it carried flowed out of the broken bag, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. become difficult to pack up.

And this is just the beginning, but it has already caused the caravan to panic, and the grooms have screamed. Even if there are members of the guards to stop and maintain order, they still cannot calm down for a while.

What's more, the situation happened again immediately after!
