Five days later.

After a long journey, the caravan finally arrived at the border of the Country of Fire.

From here on, the road won't be as smooth as before.

While they were eating, Kai told the three of them:"There are a lot of bandits wandering around the border, and some rebellious ninjas who have nowhere to go will hide here, so be sure to stay alert!"

"yes!"

Tiantian and Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although the third team has done many missions, including many combat missions, they were all in the Land of Fire. They have never been out of the country and fought against ninjas from other countries. Very few.

Especially this border line is different from others. Their destination, the Kingdom of Rain, borders the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. This also means that ninjas from these two countries are likely to appear in Nearby.

The Third Ninja World War has not passed long. Even if all countries have stopped fighting, it is not a real peace. To put it bluntly, it is not a bad idea to say that it is to accumulate strength for the next war.

Therefore, collision outside the border When going to other countries, ninjas must keep their spirits up. They must not have the intention to harm others, nor must they be defensive.

Kai bit the compressed biscuit in his hand:"When we get to the Land of Rain, we must stay next to the caravan at all times. Minimize contact with people from the Country of Rain as much as possible"

"Why is this, Teacher Kai?"Xiao Li was a little confused.

Tiantian guessed:"Is it because the Rain Country has resentment towards our Fire Country?

Kai said:"Yes.""

Neji also knows that the Fire Country once took the initiative to provoke a war against the Rain Country. Many ninjas died in Konoha, and the same happened to Amegakure, and many civilians were involved. This grudge will not be easily erased..

But because of their weak strength, this resentment cannot be expressed with force.

But the Country of Rain is their territory, and the ninjas of Konoha are here, so it is best to be honest.

"However, I don’t know what’s going on in the Kingdom of Rain now. Kai sighed,"The 'demigod' of the ninja world back then, Sansho Hanzo, is now a bad old man. He might have died of old age." I remember how majestic he looked when he gave Jiraiya-sama and the others the title of 'Sannin'! Hearing this, Tiantian smiled and said,"

Teacher Kai, are you envious?""

"What am I envious of!"

"Sannin, Kai-sensei, if you had been here at that time, wouldn't you have been a 'fourth ninja'?"Tiantian said jokingly

"This... ahem, of course! If I had been here at that time, Sanshouyu Hanzo might have been defeated by me!"As soon as Kai finished speaking, Tenten was speechless, and he actually took it seriously.

This is simply serious nonsense. You must know that when the name"Sannin" came out, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were all only twenty. Kai was a generation behind them, and he was still a kid at that time.

That is, Xiao Li, didn’t think much about it at all, and said with approval,"That’s right! Teacher Kai is so strong!"

"Haha, Xiao Li still understands me! Kai smiled confidently,"Besides, I, 'The Blue Beast of Konoha,' am as famous as the 'Sannin'!""

"……Teacher Kai, it's almost done."

Neji couldn't hold himself up after hearing this. The name of"Three Ninjas" was resounding throughout the entire Ninja world, and"Konoha's Blue Beast""……Basically only spread in Konoha. If it was really that loud, there wouldn't be a situation in the original novel where Kisame didn't recognize him at all when he met him, and Itachi would have to specifically remind him that Gai is very difficult to deal with.

Neji felt that Kai was very powerful, but his reputation was not that great, or that he was not well known outside Konoha Village. Only the strong people in the village knew him well.

After being told by Ningci, Kai restrained his boasting a little, looked into the distance and said:"In recent years, I don't know what has happened to the Kingdom of Rain, and whether there are any masters from the younger generation."

Of course there are masters...

Neji thought to himself, he is not an ordinary master.

"Ninja-sama!"At this time, a warrior ran over and said,"Get ready to go!"

"good."

Kai responded, and several people stood up one after another and began to move forward with the caravan.

After leaving the border, almost immediately they could feel a dangerous and chilling atmosphere spreading in the air.

Neji looked around, and the fire At the border of the Kingdom of Rain, there are no border guards. There are only a large number of dilapidated thatched houses that look like no one has lived in them for a long time. The ground is also black and yellow, and it seems that there was a fire a long time ago. You can even see some The dead bones were scattered, and the vultures hovering in the air stared at the group of people, as if they were waiting for food to die.

Tiantian shuddered:"Is this originally a village? How did it become like this?……"

"Hey."The warrior captain was not surprised and said,"The villages near the border are the most vulnerable to robbery. Who would want to live here except the poorest of the poor?"

At this moment, suddenly a group of ragged children rushed out of the thatched hut.

"Adults, give us something to eat!"

"We are starving!"

"It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten!"

The children with sallow faces and skinny muscles surrounded the caravan vehicles, stretching out their thin palms to beg for food. The warriors immediately waved their hands away:"Go away, don't make trouble!"

"Sir, please do it!"The children knelt down one after another, just asking for some food to fill their stomachs.

Tiantian couldn't bear to see this scene, so he took out some food he carried from his space scroll and distributed it to these children. The warrior captain saw some Displeased, he said to Neci:"How come your friend really gives you food?""

"What's wrong?"

"No, I mean...this won't work! These little devils can't survive on charity! You have to find a way to make money on your own, just like us"

"They are still children, right?"

"so what."The samurai captain laughed,"No matter adults or children, you have to rely on yourself to survive. If you rely on others, you will only be eliminated."

Ningji said no more. He also took out the compressed biscuits he had on him and distributed them to the war orphans.

Seeing this, the samurai captain curled his lips and walked aside.

The law of the jungle... is the rule of this world, but Just as Neji said to Hanabi before, rules are not necessarily right.

A world that runs according to wrong rules... has no future.

Neji looked at the children who were holding the food and thanking them again and again, thinking about this aspect of Konoha Relatively speaking, it is doing relatively well. At least some people know that"children" are the future. On the contrary, if a country does not value children, it will not have a good future.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Seeing the caravan stop, the businessman in the carriage behind him leaned out of the carriage and asked,"Don't delay the caravan's march!"

Tiantian heard this and said dissatisfiedly:"These children are going to starve to death!""

"What does that have to do with us? The merchant looked impatient,"And your mission is to escort the caravan, not to rescue orphans!""

"you……"

"Okay, Tiantian!"

Kai from behind came over at this time and stopped the aggrieved Tiantian from continuing.

"Teacher Kai……"

"Just give these children some food every day, and there is nothing else we can do. Let's go"

"……yes."

Every day I look at the children who don't even bother to say thank you, but just lower their heads and crazily stuff food into their mouths, and I feel sad in my heart.

She grew up with no worries about food and clothing, and did not experience the war era. Even Mu Ye Cunzi has not been out a few times, so naturally he has rarely seen this kind of situation. Kai is different. Years of mission experience have made him accustomed to some things. The caravan continued to move forward, walking on Neji in a melancholy way every day. Next to him, after walking for a while, he whispered:"Ningji, do you think this is okay?"

"of course not. It's just that we don't have the power to change these things now."

"……"

Tenten was about to say something when Neji suddenly stopped.

His white eyes quietly opened

"There is an ambush!"
