After an encounter, the two chuunin teams became one. One of the two jounin was seriously injured, and their combat power was limited.

On the contrary, the genin team doing odd jobs was not harmed at all because they were always in the cabin.

But it was quite good to be able to repel the enemy this time, and the two escorting Jonin were able to accept it to the extent that they were in front of them.

They had no intention of turning around and returning to the Land of Water, but were preparing to continue on their way.

The main reason for this attack was actually the political struggle between the village and the ninja clan. The value of the goods was secondary. The two jounin could only suppress the matter.

In addition, after leaving the Kingdom of Water, as long as we can reach the Kingdom of Fire, there will be a relatively prosperous and stable environment here, and there will be no robbers who can get the news in advance to collude with each other to ambush.

From the perspective of the two Jonin of the Taketori clan, the competition between the Kirigakure Village and the Ninja clan is just a wrestling match, and it would be fine if they break each other's brains, but an autistic village will not seek cooperation from the forces of the Land of Fire to deal with its own village.

Ninja clan.

On the other hand, it is safer to continue escorting on the road now. Once the goods arrive, it will be much easier for you and others to return to the village lightly packed.

The Jonin who was seriously injured this time was like this because he ate the Great Waterfall Jutsu in order to protect the ship in the first blow, and was then regarded as a key target of Zabuza's attacks...

…

On the other side, in a remote seaside cave in the Kingdom of Water.

Moist water vapor continuously condenses on the stalactites above the cave and forms water droplets, making the entire cave look dark and damp.

But under such an environment, the empty area in the center was lit with fine candles.

Reflected by the dancing flames of the candles, one can also see clearly that there is a small pile of skulls piled beside each candle.

In the center surrounded by these candles and skulls, there is a skinny figure sitting cross-legged.

Even though he was wearing a loose black robe, he couldn't hide the chicken claw-like palms he stretched out from his robe.

"Dead? What a waste."

As a few flames around him went out, the figure that had been motionless like a mummy finally showed some fluctuations.

In the shadow of the face that was originally covered by the hood, two faint blue flames danced.

The first time it was just a group of senior reincarnators who took action, it was understandable that they failed.

But the second time, an elite Samsara who had just acquired the identity of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen led the team, but actually led an entire army to annihilation.

What a waste!

It's a pity that the outstanding status they just obtained, the status of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Kirigakure is still quite good.

Humph, it's a pity that I tried to help him when he was fighting for his identity, and his good intentions were completely in vain.

However, although he is a bit useless, the strength of that guy to be able to win the title of Seven Ninja Swordsmen still needs to be recognized.

No one escaped from such a situation, which obviously angered the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki Yugao.

Yu Gao has already chosen to take sides?

This is somewhat valuable news, so let’s make up for some losses. Now that I can’t get away from doing something myself, I can only use this unique information to plan some benefits...

…

On the other side, after Zabuza evacuated, an enchanting figure wearing a Kirigakure ANBU mask arrived near the battle sea area.

After looking around for a while, he jumped and landed on a rock. He leaned down with his graceful figure and stretched out his hand to touch the corroded rock. A ray of color flashed through the contact lens exposed by the mask.

heterochromatic

"Sure enough, it was Fei Dun. Wasn't it Yu Gao's fault..."

There are also corrosion types among Yugao's techniques. When Zabuza retreated and reported, he couldn't tell whether Yugao had done it or not.

But under the circumstances at that time, it seemed that only Yugao could do this.

The ANBU captain Terumi Mei, who was the only ANBU captain who also possessed the Boil Release, had some doubts after hearing the description, so he came to verify it himself.

It was completely determined that the person who took action was not Yu Gao, but someone else!

He is also a person who has the same boiling escape as himself.

Based on Terumi Mei's understanding of the current internal situation in the village, if Yu Gao, who has always been neutral, is accused of any crime, it will be really troublesome.

The jinchuriki's role in the village is no less than that of the shadow. The real person who did it must be found out before the village can draw a conclusion.

It is very possible that the other party is a hostile force deliberately trying to sow discord between the jinchūriki and the village!

Terumi Mei, who has not yet completed the great cause of rebellion and still has some illusions about the fourth generation Mizukage who is sometimes normal and sometimes accused, also wants to try his best to make amends for himself at this time.

The next moment, it disappeared above the sea...

…

"The environment of your Fire Country is really good."

Xu Yue himself is a businessman who mainly does business in the Country of Fire. After the caravan arrived in the Country of Fire, the journey was quite smooth.

Robbers also appeared, but they were all ordinary robbers, all used by the genin team for training.

Later, they may have learned that this was a caravan escorted by ninjas. Even the thieves no longer appeared. The relative security was indeed much better than that of the Water Country.

"That's natural. After all, it is the most prosperous country. However, because of the good public security here and the fact that it borders the Kingdom of Water, although there is profit from selling goods here, it cannot maximize the profits."

Xu Yue said with a philistine expression on his face, his tone carrying the cunning and shrewdness of a businessman.

"But it's safer to sell here, isn't it? I heard that the desert at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind is also very uneventful. That is to say, our Taketori clan does not mainly rely on water to escape. Instead, the ninjas in other villages,

Many would have been restrained in that environment."

The relatively uninjured Jonin also briefly communicated with Xu Yue.

He was also a little resentful of this guy selling things so far in one go.

"Isn't it because of you? The profit is enough for me to take the risk. Not only is the profit much higher, but after the sales are completed, I can also purchase specialties from the Country of Wind and bring them back to the Country of Fire for sale."

Xu Yue once again began to instill in this group of ninjas his image of being careless and stingy, and his attitude of breaking one dollar into two dollars had completely solidified in the eyes of these escorting ninjas and coachmen.

"Okay, we are about to arrive at the border of the Country of Fire. We still need to cheer up."

Yu Gao, who had always been in a tourist mood along the way, gave an appropriate reminder at this time.

Although this businessman is a bit stingy, he can still be regarded as a local snake in the Fire Country. He has a guide all the way in the Fire Country, which saves him a lot of trouble.

But when we are about to reach the border area, it will probably be a bit troublesome.

However, just as Yu Gao finished speaking, and even before reaching the border, the long caravan was overtaken from behind and stopped.

Several ANBU members dressed as Konoha ninjas and wearing masks fell in front of the team.

Xu Yue couldn't help but squint his eyes. Is that kind of pattern a person from the roots?

His movements have always been very low-key and he has not had any contact with Konoha. They probably don't know that he is here.

"The Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki Yu Gao, I don't know why you came to our Fire Country."

The leader, a man with a mask with an eagle face, watched Yu Gao compare the portraits on the pamphlet in his hand, his tone was cold and without any emotion.

This made Xu Yue feel speechless again. Come on, the guards he hired this time were really awesome...

But then, several members of the Roots whose attention was attracted by Yu Gao still saw Xu Yue, who was smiling harmlessly at them and others, and their movements froze in an instant.

Others, even many people in the village, don't know what Xu Yue looks like now wearing an ANBU mask. Maybe many people still have the impression of being twelve years old.

But the members of the root are not included here...
