Chapter 25: Rain Country

Five days later.

After a long journey, the caravan finally came to the border of the country of fire.

From here, the road will not be as smooth as before.

While eating, Guy asked the three of them: “There are many bandits wandering on the border, and there are some rebels who have nowhere to go. They will also hide here, so we must be vigorous!”

“Yes!”

Tenten and Xiao Li couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

Although the third squad had done many missions, many of which were combat missions, they were all in the territory of the country of fire. I haven’t been out of the country yet, and I rarely fight against ninjas from other countries.

In particular, this border is different from the others. Their destination is the country of rain, bordering the country of wind and land at the same time. This also means that ninjas from these two countries are likely to appear nearby.

The third Ninja World War did not last long, and even if all countries stopped fighting, it was not true peace. It is hard to say that it is a good idea to accumulate strength for the next war.

Therefore, if you encounter ninjas from other countries outside the border, you have to cheer up, and you must not be harmful or defensive.

Guy bit the compressed biscuits in his hand: “When we arrive in the country of rain, we must always stay next to the caravan and try to minimize contact with people in the country of rain.”

“Why is this, Mr. Guy?” Xiao Li didn’t understand.

Tenten guessed: “Is it because the country of rain resents our country of fire?”

Guy said: “Yes.”

This Neji also knows that the Fire Nation once provoked a war against the Rain Nation. Konoha killed a lot of ninjas, Rain Shinobi did the same, and also caught many civilians. This grudge will not be easily erased.

It’s just that because of his weak strength, this resentment cannot be expressed by force.

But the Land of Rain is their territory, and Konoha’s ninja is here, so it’s better to be honest.

“However, I don’t know what is going on in the Land of Rain now.” Guy sighed, “Back then, Hanzō of the Salamander, Hanzō of the Salamander, is also a terrible old man, maybe he’s already dead. I think how prestigious he was when he bestowed the title of’Sannin’ on Master Jiraiya!”

Tenten said with a smile, “Ms. Guy, are you envious of it?”

“What do I envy!”

“Sannin, Mr. Guy, if you were there at the time, wouldn’t you be the “four forbearance”?” Tenten said jokingly.

“This…cough, of course! If I was there, Hanzō of the Salamander might have been defeated by me!” As soon as Guy finished speaking, Tenten was a little speechless, actually taking it seriously.

This is a serious nonsense. When the name “Sannin” came out, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were all in their early twenties. Guy was a generation behind them, and he was still a kid back then.



This is Xiao Li, who didn’t think much about it, and said “Yes! Teacher Guy is too strong!”

“Hehe, Xiao Li understands me!” Guy smiled confidently, “Besides, my “Konoha’s Blue Beast” is almost as loud as “Sannin”!”

“…Mr. Guy, it’s almost done.”

Neji couldn’t stop listening. The name “Sannin” resounded throughout the world of Ninja, and “Konoha’s blue beast”… basically only spread to Konoha. If it were so loud, there would be no situation in the original work that Kisame didn’t recognize when he encountered it, and Itachi had to remind Guy that it was difficult to deal with.

Neji thinks that Guy is very strong, but he is not famous, or he is not big outside Konoha Village, only the strong in the village know better.

As soon as Neji said Guy, he reduced his boasting energy a bit, and looked into the distance and said: “In these years, I don’t know what happened to the Land of Rain, whether there are any young masters.”

Of course there is a master…

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

“Master Ninja!” At this moment a samurai ran over and said, “I’m ready to go!”

“good.”

Guy responded, and several people got up and started to move on with the caravan.

When I left the border, I could feel a dangerous and murderous breath spreading in the air almost immediately.

Neji looked around and found that the border of the Rain Country bordering the Fire Country had no border guards, only a large dilapidated thatched house, which seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time. The ground is also black and yellow, and it seems that a big fire has been lit a long time ago, and some dead bones can even be seen scattered. The vultures hovering in the air staring at a group of people, seemingly waiting for the food to die.

Tenten said coldly, “Is this a village originally? How did it become like this…”



“Hey.” The samurai captain said no surprise, “The villages near the border are the easiest to be robbed. Apart from the poor ones among the poor ones, who wants to live here?”

At this time, suddenly a group of ragged children rushed out of the thatched cottage.

“Adults, give me something to eat!”

“We are starving to death!”

“It’s been a long time since I had eaten!”

The yellow-faced and skinny children surrounded the caravan and stretched out their skinny palms to beg for food. The samurai immediately waved away, “Go go, don’t make trouble!”

“Adults, OK!” The children knelt down one after another, asking for a bit of food to fill their stomachs.

Tenten couldn’t bear to see this scene, and took out some food from his space scroll and distributed it to the children.

The samurai captain was a little unhappy when he saw it, and said to Neji, “How come your friend really gives food.”

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I mean… this won’t work! These little ghosts can’t live on other people’s charity! They have to find a way to make money on their own, just like us.”

“They are still children.”

“So what.” The samurai captain laughed. “Whether you are an adult or a child, you have to rely on yourself to be eligible to live, and rely on others’ words, you can only be eliminated.”

Neji didn’t say any more, he took out the compressed biscuits from his body and distributed them to the war orphans.

Upon seeing this, the samurai captain pouted and walked aside.

The weak and the strong… are the rules of this world, but as Neji said to Hanabi before, the rules are not necessarily right.

A world that operates according to wrong rules… has no future.

Neji looked at the children who were grateful for the food, and thought that Konoha was doing relatively well in this regard. At least some people know that “children” are the future. On the contrary, if a country does not value children, there will be no good future.

“Hey, what are you doing?” The businessman in the carriage behind saw the convoy stop, and asked with his head out of the carriage, “Don’t delay the journey of the caravan!”

Tenten heard this and said dissatisfied: “These little kids are going to starve to death!”

“What does that have to do with us?” The businessman looked impatient, “and your task is to escort the caravan, not to relieve the orphans!”

“you……”

“Okay, Tenten!”

The Guy behind came over at this moment and stopped the resentful Tenten.

“Mr. Guy…”

“Tenten, just give these kids some food, and we can’t do anything else. Let’s go.”

“……Yes.”

Tenten looked at the children who couldn’t even give thanks, just bowed their heads and stuffed food into their mouths, and there was a wave of sadness in his heart.

She grew up in Wu You, and has never experienced the war era. She has not even been in Konoha Village a few times. Naturally, she rarely sees this kind of situation. Guy is different. Many years of mission experience have made him take some things off the ground.

The caravan continued to march. Tenten walked beside Neji glumly. After walking for a while, he whispered, “Neji, do you think it’s okay, too?”

“Of course not. It’s just that we don’t have the power to change these things now.”

“…”

Tenten was waiting to say something, and Neji suddenly stopped.

His Byakugan turned on quietly.

“There is an ambush!”
