Chapter 304 The Invading Army of Rogue Ninjas
In the Land of Hot Water, a caravan slowly made its way along a flat and wide trade route.
The lead car in the convoy was flying two flags: one was the flag of the Grass Country, and the other was the symbol of the Chiba family.
The fact that these two flags are being displayed simultaneously makes the identity of the convoy owner quite clear.
In today's ninja world, no one, whether mountain bandits, outlaws, wandering samurai, or rogue ninjas, dares to lay a hand on a convoy bearing the Chiba clan's insignia.
After all, behind that flag is the Chiba Trading Company, the Land of Grass, and a multinational alliance.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the Chiba Chamber of Commerce's convoy will face a multinational joint operation to suppress them.
On the carriage, Karin was leaning against the window.
"Hey, Sasuke, do you really think anyone would dare to attack a daimyo's convoy these days?"
Sasuke sat cross-legged in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.
"Perhaps."
Bai laughed from the side.
"Isn't it better if no one comes? Just treat it as a trip."
After hearing what Bai said, Karin thought it made a lot of sense.
"I've heard that the Land of Hot Springs is a major tourist destination, known as a country that has forgotten war, and it has a lot of hot springs. I've never been to a hot spring before, and I hope I can have a chance to soak in one someday."
"After escorting the daimyo to the Land of Hot Springs, there may be a plan."
Listening to the conversation inside the carriage, Zabuza, who was driving outside, spoke up to offer a reminder.
"It's good to have ideas, but as ninjas, we must prioritize our mission."
"Understood, Uncle Zabuza."
Karin, somewhat annoyed, called out "Uncle!" towards the outside of the carriage.
"Red-haired brat, that's too much! I'm not that old yet! I just look a little older than my age."
"Do you even believe what you're saying, uncle?"
"You little rascal."
The car was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a moment.
Suddenly, Karin stood up.
"Wait, everyone be careful! Someone is approaching our convoy! No, there are a lot of people!"
Karin, with her Kagura Mind's Eye perception, saw dense chakra fluctuations approaching the convoy.
"It's an enemy attack! Everyone be careful! Send out the model number!"
Zabuza, who was driving ahead, immediately pulled out a walkie-talkie and activated the alarm.
The convoy stopped immediately and quickly gathered together.
"Notification: We have sensed a large amount of chakra fluctuations approaching us. Activate the first emergency plan. All personnel who are unable to fight, immediately move to the lead vehicle."
Zabuza's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Before the enemy could get close, all the staff who were not able to fight quickly gathered near the lead vehicle.
Zabuza took out a scroll, unrolled it, and laid it on the ground.
As chakra was injected, the ground immediately collapsed.
Secret Technique: The Art of Underground Fortresses
This ninjutsu was developed specifically to protect mission targets.
When encountering enemy attacks during an escort mission, this technique can be used to quickly construct an underground fortress to hide and protect the mission objective.
Karin only realized what was happening when she saw everyone had hidden underground.
"Did the Daimyo only bring four of us ninjas with him this time?"
Sasuke countered with a question.
"Do you really think that Lord Daimyo needs protection, given his abilities?"
Karin was speechless for a moment, it seemed to be like this.
It seems that the reason the daimyo brought them out was simply because he needed a few people to make things look better.
"coming!"
Sasuke jumped out of the carriage, activated his Sharingan, and drew his long sword from his waist.
A dense crowd of people emerged from the woods on both sides of the trade route.
Their target was very clear: Tetsuya's team.
"Wow, this is a huge scene. There must be over a hundred people here."
Zabuza drew his guillotine, an excited expression on his face.
"However, it doesn't matter. It just so happens that my old buddy hasn't drunk blood for quite some time."
“Interesting, Zabuza-san. Look at these people, they all seem to be rogue ninja.”
Using his Sharingan, Sasuke discovered the special qualities in these people.
That is, they were all wearing headbands, but the village symbol on their headbands had been scratched off.
Zabuza knew all too well what this meant.
After all, Zabuza was a former rogue ninja.
"Are they all rogue ninja? Good heavens, to be able to gather so many rogue ninja to attack us all at once, could it be that the so-called Akatsuki organization is pulling the strings behind all this?"
Although the Akatsuki organization did not start wars everywhere and become known to everyone as in the original story.
However, the Akatsuki's recruitment of rogue ninjas also caused its reputation to spread throughout the ninja world.
Hundreds of rogue ninjas surrounded the convoy.
Zabuza and his three companions stood at four different points on a vehicle, guarding it.
Tetsuya, meanwhile, sat by the car window, watching everything outside.
"Chiba Tetsuya's in the car ahead, everyone charge!"
Someone shouted something.
This shout immediately ignited the previously tense situation.
A group of group ninjas rushed out first, approaching Tetsuya's carriage at an astonishing speed.
Zabuza held a sword in one hand and made a hand seal with the other.
"Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!"
In an instant, a thick fog rolled in, and Zabuza's figure disappeared into the fog.
Blood splattered, and the first few ninjas were instantly beheaded.
"Silent Killing Technique of the Hidden Mist, the Executioner's Blade! That guy is Zabuza, the Demon King of the Mist!"
"Zabuza the Demon? Wasn't he missing?"
"Yes, he has indeed disappeared. The last time I heard news of him was in the Land of Waves. I thought he was dead."
"I never imagined he would become a lackey of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass!"
"Heh, so what if it's Zabuza? Let us deal with him!"
A group of rogue ninja from Kirigakure rushed out, and the moment they stepped into the thick fog, their figures vanished just like Zabuza.
All that could be heard were the sounds of fighting coming from within the thick fog.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet!
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
"Water Escape..."
Without Zabuza's interference, more ninjas launched an attack on the car.
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Ice Rock Hall Without End!"
The ice mirrors instantly solidified, forming a wall.
All attacks were blocked by the wall formed by this ice mirror.
"Water Release Secret Technique: Thousand Kill Water Flight!"
A white figure was reflected in the ice mirror, and the water mist in the air condensed into a large number of arrows, which were then fired in unison.
A series of wails erupted as the ninja at the forefront was instantly riddled with thorns.
Meanwhile, the rogue ninja on the other side also launched an attack on Sasuke.
Sasuke simply watched calmly as the rogue ninja charged towards him.
"Lightning Release: Kirin!"
