The border of the Land of Fire.
It has been five days since Watergate escorted Takuji Fujiwara's goods out of the village.
If it was a normal ninja, they would have enough time to cover this distance in one day, but transporting goods has made the journey extremely slow.
During these five days, the journey was smooth and steady. The Land of Fire is the territory of Wood Leaf Village, so naturally, there will be no accidents.
After lunch, Watergate and his team arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.
"If we go further, we will be in the territory of the Tang No Guk."
Watergate didn't use the map, because two years ago, he, Sho Sho, Watanabe Jun, and Uchiha Yan personally came here to perform a mission.
At that time, he was just a temporary Genin and could only follow behind Sho Sho.
In just over two years, he became the Captain and led the team to perform missions.
However, the difficulty of this mission is obviously not on the same level as the last one.
The so-called immortal Wood Leaf Village betrayed Kuriyama Shinzo and finally died in the Tang No Guk.
Ever since that incident, the Cthulhuism Society forces in the Country of Hot Water suffered a huge blow and disappeared without a trace from the public eye.
However, it is indeed difficult to completely eradicate them.
Because of that incident, the Land of Fire and the Tang No Guk have a good relationship. In the Second Shinobi World War, although Yukinomura didn't send any ninja to reinforce Wood Leaf Village, they acted as a natural barrier and helped Wood Leaf Village to catch spies from other countries who wanted to sneak into Wood Leaf Village.
...
Watergate and his team escorted the goods into the Tang No Guk territory. Last time, when he carried out the Tang No Guk mission, he tried to take a detour, but this time, he mostly passed through towns.
Because these towns are under the jurisdiction of Yukinomura, it is relatively safe.
...
After another three days, Watergate and the others passed by more than a dozen towns and villages of various sizes within the Tang No Guk. Finally, they arrived at the border of the Tang No Guk, a place called Spring Town.
Outside Spring Town was a small forest. After passing through here, they would leave the Tang no Guk and enter the territory of another country.
Before reaching the small forest, Watergate suddenly stopped and chuckled.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
His words stunned everyone. In the next moment, the three Wood Leaf Chunin's eyes were cold, and then two figures appeared in front of Watergate.
Both of them wore headbands that revealed their identities. They were Yukinomura ninjas.
"Long time no see." Watergate couldn't help but smile when he saw a fifteen-year-old boy among them.
"Yes, Watergate." The boy also chuckled when he saw Watergate.
This boy was the only young Yukinomura ninja that Watergate met when he was on a mission, Qiu Yuansan.
Their whereabouts were discovered by Watergate as soon as he entered the Yukinomura.
Seeing the two talking, everyone in Watergate's team was a little stunned.
Although they knew that Yukinomura ninjas were not enemies, how did Watergate know Yukinomura ninjas?
The Tang no Guk mission was an absolute secret, and no one in this group knew about it.
"I heard about your performance on the battlefield of the Wind Country from Big Brother. You are so strong!" Qiu Yuansan looked at Watergate with some reverence, which made him a little uncomfortable.
The Yukinomura next to Qiu Yuansan also looked at Watergate with awe.
In the world of ninjas, strength is respected. Fujiwara Takuji didn't know about Watergate's performance on the battlefield, but even in a small Ninja village like Yukinomura, Watergate's performance on the battlefield also made him famous.
Among the famous ninjas in the current ninja world, Watergate is the youngest one.
"Please also thank Leader Qiu Yuanfeng for me." Watergate smiled. Although the Tang no Guk and the Fire Country are allies, this kind of task of transporting goods, Yukinomura doesn't need to send ninjas all the way.
He didn't receive any information about this, so this should be the independent action of Yukinomura leader Qiu Yuanfeng.
Hearing this, Qiu Yuansan said, "Compared to the help you and White Fang senpai and other Wood Leaf ninjas gave us in the past, this is nothing at all."
"Now that I have safely sent you to the Tang no Guk border, it's time to go back and report to the leader."
After Qiu Yuansan said that, he and the other Yukinomura disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Let's go." After seeing his acquaintances, Watergate turned to look at everyone and said.
They drove the carriage loaded with goods into the woods, and the Wood Leaf ninja came up and asked, "Watergate, what did that guy just say about the help you and White Fang senpai gave to Yukinomura?"
"Morikawa-san, this matter is confidential, I can't say." Watergate replied. After all, Qiu Yuansan was still a little immature and inadvertently leaked some information about the Tang no Guk mission.
"Oh." The Wood Leaf ninja named Morikawa-san responded and stopped asking.
However, the three Wood Leaf ninjas still had doubts in their hearts because they knew that Watergate's batch of ninjas graduated after the Second Shinobi World War.
Watergate and Hatake Sho Sho should have been to Yukinomura, but at that time, how old was this kid?
But thinking about Watergate's performance on the battlefield, they felt relieved.
The boy in front of them can't be judged by common sense.
...
After leaving the Tang no Guk, Watergate and the others encountered a team of dozens of bandits, but they were all defeated by Watergate and the three Wood Leaf ninjas.
Six days later, in the Land of Lightning …
In a mountain forest in the Land of Lightning, Watergate was keeping watch for the first half of the night.
Walking under a big tree, he made a seal with both hands, and then gently pressed one hand on the trunk, after a while, he withdrew his palm.
On the trunk, there were faint black lines climbing, and if one looked carefully, they were a string of indecipherable text.
Watergate made a seal with both hands again, but this time the seal was extremely complicated. He bit his finger and smeared blood on the trunk, and then the blood instantly climbed all over the trunk, and finally turned into a magic array.
"Hide!"
Watergate made a seal with both hands, and the magic array and the previous black text gradually disappeared without a trace.
That tree trunk didn't look any different from before.
"The coordinates are complete." Watergate smiled faintly.
"This method is too inefficient …" In his mind, Watergate's voice came.
Watergate nodded and sighed, "But with the information we have so far, this is the only way. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time …"
"This is the only way …"
...
Three days later, Watergate and the others finally arrived at the branch of the Land of Lightning Business Guild.
This branch should have existed at the border of the Land of Lightning, but because of the Second Shinobi World War, it was squeezed into the Land of Lightning.
Now that the war is over, the branches are gradually recovering, but of course, it will take a certain amount of time.
After handing over the goods, Watergate got the handover certificate of the Land of Lightning Business Guild. Next, he will take the guard sent by Fujiwara Takuji and hand over the certificate to him. Then, the task will be completed.
Seven days later, he handed over the task to Fujiwara Takuji in the capital of the Land of Fire, and led three Wood Leaf ninjas back to the village at full speed.
Watergate was really worried about Shinna Kushina. The Chunin Exam should have ended more than half a month ago.
