However, although there are many rebellious ninjas in the Land of Fire, these rebellious ninjas do not dare to attack the ninjas of Konoha Village. As long as there are Konoha ninja guards in the passing caravan, they will often choose to stay away.
After all, these rebellious ninjas originally fled from other places. If they offend the Leaf Village again, their life will be even more difficult.
And it is precisely because of the existence of these rebellious ninjas that all caravans entering the Land of Fire will choose to issue escort missions to Konoha Village, which makes Konoha Village's business boom.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen also chose to turn a blind eye to the existence of these rebellious ninjas. As long as they did not attack the Konoha ninjas, the Konoha Village would not go to war to eliminate them.
Otherwise, once all the rebellious ninjas and wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire are eliminated, I am afraid that no one will hire Konoha ninjas to perform escort missions. Wouldn't that ruin their own jobs?
When Zhuge Qingyun was escorting the caravan to the Country of Grass, he actually noticed the prying eyes of some wandering ninjas.
It's just that those wandering ninjas chose to retreat after seeing the ninja forehead protector on Zhuge Qingyun's waist, and he naturally didn't bother to make extra trouble.
…
"Captain, the caravan escorted by Zhuge Qingyun is almost here."
In a dense forest on the border of the Land of Grass, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground and reported to a strong man nearly two meters tall.
Hearing this, Kaguya Takeshita couldn't help but reveal a bloodthirsty sneer and said: "It's finally here, but I'm impatient to wait!"
In the previous chuunin exams, out of the twenty or so participating genin from Kirigakure Village, only three died, and most of them died at the hands of Zhuge Qingyun. This incident made the Third Mizukage quite dissatisfied.
.
What's more, Zhuge Qingyun is only nine years old now, and his strength is already suspected to have reached the level of a jounin. A genius of this level must not be allowed to grow up, otherwise it will only make Konoha Village more difficult to deal with.
Therefore, the Third Mizukage personally issued a kill order. As long as Zhuge Qingyun dared to leave Konoha Village, the ninjas of Kirigakure Village would carry out an assassination plan for him.
Kirigakure Village also planted spies in Konoha Village, so when Zhuge Qingyun accepted the commission and left Konoha Village, the news was passed to the hands of the Third Mizukage.
In order to get rid of Zhuge Qingyun as a potential threat, the Third Mizukage specially dispatched a Jonin team to the border of the Grass Country and asked them to intercept and kill Zhuge Qingyun in the Grass Country.
There are only three members in this Jonin team, but all three members are Jonin, and the leader is an elite Jonin from the Kaguya clan.
This kind of elite team composed entirely of Jonin is usually only deployed when carrying out important S-level missions, which shows the determination of the Third Mizukage to get rid of Zhuge Qingyun.
…
"stop!"
Just when the caravan from the Country of Grass was still hundreds of meters away from the border forest, Zhuge Qingyun suddenly shouted.
"Everyone on alert!"
When the caravan boss heard Zhuge Qingyun's words, he shouted subconsciously, and then asked nervously: "Lord Qingyun, are you another robber?"
Because every time Zhuge Qingyun suddenly shouted to stop, it was when the caravan was about to encounter robbers, so the caravan boss had some conditioned reflexes.
"The enemies this time are not ordinary robbers. You wait here, and I will deal with them myself." After Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, his figure disappeared instantly, like an arrow rushing in.
In the border forest.
"Huhuhu..."
The moment Zhuge Qingyun rushed into the forest, a thick mist suddenly appeared out of thin air, shrouding the entire forest in a vast white mist.
"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"
Zhuge Qingyun looked at the white mist that suddenly appeared around him, and instantly understood the origin of the ambush, and shouted loudly: "You people in Wuyin Village always like to use this kind of sneak attack, can't you be more direct?"
"as you wish!"
A voice full of murderous intent suddenly sounded, and a figure covered in bone spurs appeared behind Zhuge Qingyun as if teleporting.
"boom!"
Facing Kaguya Takeshita's bear hug, Zhuge Qingyun's figure instantly exploded and disappeared into a cloud of white smoke.
"Shadow clone!"
When Kaguya Takeshita saw this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but before he could find Zhuge Qingyun's whereabouts, he suddenly heard a subtle burning sound coming from his abdomen.
"..."
When Kaguya Takeshita subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his abdomen, his pupils shrank slightly, and he saw that there was actually a detonating talisman attached to his abdomen that was about to burn into it.
"Smelly brat!"
"boom!!!"
Amidst Kaguya Zhu's angry roar, the detonating talisman exploded.
"Boom boom boom..."
And just when Kaguya Bamboo used the bone armor made from corpse bone veins to resist the bombardment of the detonating talisman, he was horrified to find that more detonating talismans were channeled.
"team leader!"
The two Kirigakure Jōnin who were hiding in the dark didn't pay too much attention at first, but when they discovered that the explosion of the detonating talisman was heard continuously, their expressions couldn't help but become serious.
After Zhuge Qingyun received the message sent before the shadow clone was killed, he sneered secretly in his heart: "A ninja from the Kaguya clan? It seems like it will take a while longer!"
"Damn brat..."
Faced with being constantly bombarded by detonating symbols that were channeled, even if Kaguya Takeshita continued to summon bone armor from her body to resist, she still couldn't resist, and the chakra in her body was rapidly depleted.
Soon Kaguya Takeshita's roar was completely drowned out by the explosion, and the large crater in the same place continued to expand and deepen, making the other two Kirigakure jounin feel frightened.
"Boom boom boom..."
After more than ten minutes of continuous bombardment, Kaguya Takeshita's aura also became sluggish. Just when his chakra aura was about to completely disappear, Zhuge Qingyun stopped the "Mutual Multiplication Detonation Talisman".
After the explosion subsided, the two Kirigakure Jōnin who were hiding in the dark still did not dare to show their faces. They had been suppressed by the ninjutsu Zhuge Qingyun had just performed, and they finally stopped being underestimated.
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the two Kirigakure jounin did not dare to show up, Zhuge Qingyun rushed to Kaguya Takeshita's side as quickly as possible.
At this time, Kaguya Takeshita looked very miserable. Her lower body had been completely blown away, her right arm was also blown off, her body was covered with scars from the explosion, and her consciousness had almost disappeared.
"Pfft!"
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Qingyun drew out the Wind Demon Blade without saying a word, cut off Kaguya Takeshita's head with one blow, and then sealed his body into the sealing scroll.
