Chapter 167: Trouble And More Trouble!
Three days later, Mikawa's class gathered once again and escorted a large batch of goods towards the Land of Iron.
However, because of the war, Mikawa decided to head west first, avoiding the frontlines that were currently fighting. Then, he would enter the Land of Rivers through Grass Country and then arrive at his final destination, the Land of Iron.
Although they would waste a lot of time following this route, it was safer.
As for the Grass Country, Aoba was very familiar with it.
Because he was chased by Land of Earth's ninjas there and then rescued by Madara. Obito also died here.
Moreover, Madara's base, which was the place where Akatsuki had a meeting, was also there!
Moreover, the west of the Grass Country was connected to the Rain Country
If it were possible, he really wanted to persuade Mikawa to change the route!
However, he couldn't say the reason because this route was indeed the safest on the surface.
Therefore, Aoba could only hope that they would not be so unlucky to meet Akatsuki's members.
Now, he had a total of two rings of Akatsuki in his hand. His main body's Ring had been carefully kept in his ninja bag, and Crimson Swordsman Yasuo's Ring was placed on his body.
If he was in danger, he could also switch his 'account' to protect everyone.
...
"Everyone, get ready. We will continue on our way in an hour."
Following Mikawa's order, the Land of Tea's representatives, who had been on their way for many days, immediately sat on the ground, drinking water, eating, and taking every minute to rest!
It couldn't be helped. The escort mission was different from normal times. Before they set off, Land of Tea's representative had already explained the seriousness of the problem, making everyone have to listen to Mikawa's arrangements.
It was obvious that all the credit for the A-level mission was placed on the only Jonin. As for the other little kids, as long as they did not drag them down, they would be grateful.
Therefore, from the start, whether it was the arrangement of the route, the daily traveling time, or the resting place was firmly controlled by Mikawa.
Mikawa's class might have gotten used to this mode, but the others, as ordinary people, would have to take their old lives.
While resting, the person in charge of the caravan approached Mikawa with a smile.
"Lord Mikawa, although we prepared a lot of supplies before we set off, if we go around like this, I'm afraid the people I brought will not be able to take it."
Mikawa originally did not want to accept this mission, but after listening to the other party's words, he did not even raise his eyes. "Either you follow my route to the Land of Iron, or you cross the frontline battlefield on your own. We will give up this escort mission. You choose for yourself."
"It's not that we don't believe Lord Mikawa, but... is it really necessary? With Konoha's strength, the invading Kumogakure is definitely not a match! As long as we reach the front line and let some Ninjas work hard, wouldn't that..."
Mikawa was stunned for a moment. He really did not expect the other party to have this idea.
Didn't you Konoha say that your ninjas are on the border battlefield? Then we will risk our lives and let the ninjas on the front line help us!
This was not only safer, but also saved a lot of time. We did not have to suffer.
However, after Mikawa saw through this guy's real thoughts, he shook his head with a smile. He was really naive.
But thinking about it, how could ordinary people who were not ninjas imagine how terrifying the battle between ninjas was!
Moreover, their plan was completely wrong!
If they really arrived at the front line, it would be good if Kumogakureee ninjas did not chase them, but they still wanted to send ninjas to protect them?
Even if it were for and of Tea, he would not receive this treatment!
Therefore, Mikawa flatly refused this guy. There were only two paths, either to listen to him or to scatter!
Facing Mikawa, who refused to go in, the person in charge of the caravan was also dumbfounded.
But even if he were secretly annoyed, even if he had a few guts, he would not dare to cause trouble in the wild ridge of the wilderness with the ninja sent by Konoha. Otherwise, he would be the unlucky one!
…..
An hour of rest soon passed, and then everyone continued to travel with difficulty.
Apart from Mikawa, Aoba and the other two each brought a sword.
This made Gekkou Hayate very speechless. He was clearly the only one who used a sword before, but after Aoba returned, he seemed to be interested in this area. He brought a sword wherever he went, but he had never seen this guy use it before. It was like an ornament.
Then this time, even Itachi had a sword on his back
What the hell!
...
At the same time, Kumogakure, who was in a deadlock at the border of the Land of Fire, coincidentally obtained a piece of information.
It said that Konoha had transported a large number of explosive talismans seven days ago and was rushing to the front line.
Moreover, in order to not be discovered by Kumogakure's side in advance, they chose to go through Grass Country and then handed over this batch of supplies that could change the tide of the battle by Land of Iron!
Kumogakure was not a fool. Naturally, they also sensed that there was something strange about this information. Moreover, the information might not be true. It might be a trap.
However, the number of explosive talismans described on it was too shocking!
If it were true, then all the Kumogakure Ninjas on the front line would be in big trouble!
So, whether it was true or not, they had to find out.
Therefore, Kumogakure's intelligence Ninja immediately began to rush to the Grass Country, Land of Rivers, and the Land of Iron in advance.
If the information were true, they would immediately gather manpower and strike Konoha. No matter what, they had to seize this batch of supplies!
—And all of this was naturally someone's plan to kill with a borrowed knife!
Danzo was not afraid that Kumogakure, who had obtained the false information, would not be fooled because, just like how he had fooled Salamander Hanzo, as long as the other side had a trace of fear in their hearts, they would not let it go!
And as long as Kumogakure's ninjas found out that someone was transporting a batch of supplies and moving towards the Land of Iron according to the route according to the information, then the fake information would become real!
This was the true meaning of killing without a trace, and it did not even cost him anything.
Moreover, even if something were to happen, they would not be able to find out that he was the mastermind.
When it came to schemes and plots, even ten Sarutobi were no match for Danzo!
...
However, as these Kumogakure ninjas sneaked in, Nagato and Konan, who were in the Rain Country next to the Grass Country, immediately noticed that something was wrong.
No matter what the other party's goal was, the Gedo Statue could not be lost!
Therefore, Pain immediately rushed to the Country of Grass as a backup plan.
Once they discovered that something was wrong, they would all be killed!
Perhaps even Danzo did not expect that the plan he had to kill someone accidentally touch Akatsuki's territory.
And once Akatsuki was also involved, then the following result would only be known to the heavens!
