Chapter 70 Refugees
The next day
Before the sun came out, Class Five had already assembled in Konoha.

After Chinuma Hiroki confirmed that the caravan was correct, the group set off.

Walking in two columns, more than a dozen or two chariots make the queue tens of meters long.

Uchiha Nen is in charge of the middle part of the team, Hiruho ​​is in charge of the front, Hatake Sakumo is in the rear, and Hyuga Hazuki opens his eyes every two hours to detect the wind and grass within one kilometer.

In addition to the four members of the fifth class, there are dozens of warriors and servants from Chi Numa Hiroki.

These samurai are not the new samurai who combine swordsmanship and chakra like the iron country, but they are just skilled and strong.

But Uchiha Nen felt something was wrong.

Just relying on the samurai hired by Hiroki Inuma is enough to fight against ordinary people without chakra, and they will not encounter ninja attacks in C-level missions. In this case, it is obviously superfluous to have Sakumo Hatake lead the team.

In addition, Hiroki Chima said that what his convoy transported was food, and it was even more worthy of attention if it was food.

Stockpiling food is also a sign of the chaos before the war, and this time the food escort may be a potential crisis, so that Hiroki Chima has to issue a mission to Konoha for help when he has considerable guarding ability.

"There will definitely be danger along the way, and it is very likely that it is a ninja." Nian Uchiha judged.

Although he had already prepared fully for the possibility that he might see blood for the first time, reaching this conclusion at this moment made Uchiha Nen feel heavy and became more vigilant.

He has chakra induction, and the effect is very good. When he was in the village, he could use it to sense Konoha Anbu jumping around on the roof at night.

Relying on Chakra to feel that he is confident that as long as the gap in strength is not too large, he can react.

However, the journey in the first few days was still within the influence of Konoha, and Uchiha Nen did not encounter anything worthy of caution, which allowed him to relax a little and enjoy the scenery outside Konoha Village.

The beautiful mountains and clear waters during the day, and the bright stars and moons at night also made Uchiha Nen, who is used to seeing the scenery of Konoha, feel novel.

"How does it feel to be out of the village for the first time?" Sakumo Hatake asked by the campfire.

Several river fish that have been confirmed to be non-toxic and harmless are roasting on the fire.

The caravan's goal was still to travel along the main road, so there was no need to take any concealment measures. It was no problem to light a fire and cook.

"It's quite novel, it seems that there is more freedom." Uchiha Nen really found it quite novel, he actually sat and chatted with Hatake Sakumo by the campfire.

"That's the feeling you'll have when you leave the village for the first time. In the future, you'll feel that such guard missions are boring and require constant vigilance, which is more tiring than those D-level missions in the village."

Beiliuhu said, while Hyuga Hazuki handed salt rice balls to the three of them.

Although it is a cold food, it is much more delicious than Bingliangwan.

"Did Yue Ye find anything unusual?" Hatake Sakumo asked as he took the rice ball wrapped in lotus leaves.

Although Hatake Sakumo is powerful, but in terms of investigation, in the entire ninja world, it is estimated that only Bai Jue can compare with Bai Yan.

"No, it's still in the Land of Fire. Even some refugees are just passing by, not daring to approach the caravan."

After reporting to Hazuki, Hinata ate rice balls in small bites.

Hatake Sakumo nodded, and didn't mention this matter anymore. After the river fish was cooked, he took a knife and picked out the extra thorns:
"Although there is no seasoning, I am still very confident in my craftsmanship. You guys have a try."

It has to be said that even if it is simply roasted with fire, Hatake Sakumo's mastery of the fire and superb knife skills make the river fish look quite delicious.

The scorched fish skin and the tender fish meat make people's index fingers move.

But at this moment Uchiha Nen said quietly:
"Actually, I brought salt and pepper, and honey."

As he spoke, he took out two seasoning bottles from his backpack.

A bottle of salt and pepper, a bottle of honey.

The other three looked at the two small bottles in Uchiha Nen's hands slightly speechless.

Nian Uchiha showed an expression of "you didn't ask".

Finally, Beliuhu coughed dryly and said:
"With the condiments, Captain Hatake's grilled fish skills can be fully displayed."

In short, this night, Uchiha Nen saw the level of Hatake Sakumo's grilled fish.

When the convoy reached the border of the Nation of Fire, the not-so-serious atmosphere disappeared, replaced by a more tense feeling.

Within [-] meters, refugees with their families can be seen from time to time.

Those dusty-looking refugees are not bad.

She was naked, yellow and emaciated, and even fell to the ground while walking and couldn't get up again.

Uchiha Nen's heart was heavy, except for him, Beiruhu and Hinata Hazuki were the same, even though they had accepted several escort missions, this was the first time they had seen so many such miserable refugees.

Especially when they noticed what the caravan was transporting, those refugees who had been hungry for a long time showed longing in their eyes, but they were still suppressed by their own reason.

But those who were on the verge of collapse no longer cared about these, and directly pushed and shoved with the guarding warriors, even using their fangs and sharp teeth, and were finally beheaded by the warriors.

Witnessing all this, Nian Uchiha's expression changed.

Blood was sprayed, their stomachs were disemboweled, and the expressions in the eyes of those who were killed ranged from madness to bewilderment to bewilderment and finally to the grayness of losing their lives. Nen Uchiha could see clearly.

"Nian, go ask those refugees and find out what happened." Hatake Sakumo ordered.

It is extremely unusual for refugees to appear so frequently.

Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Uchiha read the result and began to search for the target he could ask.

In the end he locked what appeared to be a family trio.

And the rather muscular middle-aged man with the child on his back saw Uchiha Nen approaching, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, but still kept the woman behind him.

Uchiha Nen stopped five meters in front of the three of them, and said indifferently:
"I am a ninja from the Land of Fire - Konoha Hidden Village, and I am on a mission. Out of consideration for the safety of my employer, I need to ask you about what happened before that led to the appearance of such a large number of refugees.

If I can get the information I want, I will pay a certain amount. "

Speaking Uchiha Nian took out a lotus leaf bag, and after opening it was eight salt rice balls.

The refugees who could almost hear Uchiha's words all looked here, and many of them swallowed.

Even though Uchiha Nen is a child, but with his forehead protection, they dare not do irrational things if they are still rational.

And that middle-aged man is the focus of the refugees' eyes.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down, noticing the eagerness in his son's eyes and the worry in his wife's eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said:
"The villagers of our Shicang Village, Shicang Village was robbed by ninjas, and all our finances and food were looted. We had no choice but to leave the village and seek help from the outside world."

He swallowed his saliva to finish the sentence.

Uchiha wanted to take out the two rice balls as a reward.
