At this moment, the Konoha Military Police Force and the Konoha Interrogation Department had gathered together.
"Chief Fugaku, this matter is indeed our dereliction of duty."
"That's why this situation occurred. We will definitely guard them more closely from now on."
Yihegang looked distressed.
The prisoners of his Interrogation Department were originally sent in by the Uchiha, and now that they had escaped, it was the Uchiha who had to catch them…
"Everyone is working for the Village, there's no need to take it to heart."
"However, the deaths of these Root Organization members are somewhat suspicious."
"You should still pay attention and notify Danzo-sama. It would be better."
"We will head back first."
After Uchiha Fugaku smiled and said a few words, he led the members of the Military Police Force and disappeared from the scene.
Yihegang was momentarily at a loss.
Although the four people had been successfully apprehended, there were still four corpses here!
The most important thing was that they were also members of the Root Organization…
The next day.
"You've already finished?"
Looking at the signed request in her hand, Tsunade was a little surprised.
Ten requests, no matter what, would take some time, right?
These three little guys finished it in one day?
For the next two days, Tsunade let the three of them arrange their own time.
That's right, the two who wanted to go for combat training were roped in by Roy for grunt work.
At this moment, they were watching Sakumo Hatake's combat training.
…
"Are these the Ninja Konoha arranged for me?"
"A female Ninja with three little kids?"
Sanada Ai was a bit displeased.
He had issued a B-rank request, and this was the kind of Ninja they sent?
"If the mission fails, Konoha will bear all responsibility."
After the requested Ninja finished speaking, she directly disappeared from the scene.
Although Sanada Ai still wanted to say something, considering Konoha's attitude, it seemed that changing people was not an option.
Next, he still needed these four to protect him, so he returned to his carriage and chose to depart.
"Shisui, the reconnaissance mission is up to you."
"The two of you guard the caravan. This is a B-rank mission, so don't take it lightly."
"I'll protect you from the shadows."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she instantly disappeared from the scene.
The meaning was clear: as long as Roy and the others didn't encounter any special danger, she wouldn't intervene.
"I'll leave this to you."
Shisui activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and directly disappeared ahead of the team.
Roy and Xiyue were on either side of the team, on guard.
Even Roy was somewhat nervous.
After all, this was, in a strict sense, his first time on a mission.
The Second Shinobi World War had just ended not long ago, and the Ninja World was very chaotic right now.
Especially some Ninja who had grudges with Konoha on the battlefield, they would target all of Konoha's actions.
It wasn't until noon that they had left Konoha's defense perimeter.
"Roy, have you noticed a problem?"
While the team was resting at noon, Xiyue came over to Roy.
"I have."
"But what exactly it's for, I'm not sure yet."
"These people are a bit too nervous."
"And their Chakra is leaking. These aren't ordinary porters, but Ninja."
"It seems our escort mission this time isn't for some simple goods!"
Roy said softly.
That's right, their request list stated that the items they were escorting this time were high-value goods.
Their destination was Grass Country.
This kind of short-distance, B-rank escort mission was indeed a bit strange.
"The client is a bit too nervous."
"I observed carefully; he is also a Ninja."
"Moreover, his nervousness is the kind of fear that comes from having his life threatened!"
Xiyue said again.
Sanada Ai, the client this time.
He was the only one inside the carriage; everyone else was a Ninja responsible for escorting the goods.
Plus Konoha's guards…
This kind of combination looked problematic no matter how you viewed it.
"Be a little careful. If you encounter an unbeatable situation, ensure your own safety first."
"At least, hold on until our teacher comes to save us."
"If you can fight, then go ahead and try out your strength."
Roy said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Xiyue did not object.
Half an hour later, Shisui returned.
"There were no ambushes or traces of Ninja ahead. If we travel at full speed today, we can reach our destination in two days."
With the help of his Sharingan, Shisui had completely scouted the path ahead.
"Three young Ninja, this is the lunch we prepared. You should eat some too."
A seemingly honest middle-aged man handed over food and water.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Don't worry, we will definitely protect everyone."
Shisui looked confident.
"Mm, I believe in you, keep it up!"
After the middle-aged man left the food and water, he departed.
After a sufficient rest, the caravan set off again.
They wanted to try and leave this forest before nightfall.
After all, camping in the forest was not a good option.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
Finally, before dark, they exited the forest and arrived at a plain.
Here, the view was wide, and there was also a small stream.
Sanada Ai chose to rest here.
And the task of night watch naturally fell upon Roy and the other two.
That's right, this was the request.
Since the client paid, they couldn't make others stand watch themselves, could they?
After nightfall, several porters did not sleep but chose to stand watch with Roy and the others.
Clearly, Sanada Ai did not trust Roy and the other two.
"Come on, let's go to sleep."
Seeing this, Roy directly pulled the two of them to rest.
They hadn't rested well to begin with, and now that the others had their own people for night watch, why should they make up the numbers?
Although the two were a bit confused, they didn't ask directly.
They followed Roy to lean against a big tree and close their eyes to rest.
In the latter half of the night.
The first group of night watchmen had already completed their shift.
It seemed that there would be no problems tonight.
At this moment, in the bushes not far away.
"Roy, what do you want to do?"
Xiyue looked at Roy with some confusion.
That's right, the ones resting over there were their Shadow Clones; they had already left the team and were following from not far away.
After the team rested, the three of them immediately concealed themselves.
Xiyue was very confused by Roy's choice.
As guard Ninja, their job was to protect the goods and the client.
As for other things, shouldn't they be beyond their concern?
"There's something wrong with this team; what they need to transport is definitely not just the goods on the surface."
Roy said in a low voice.
"That's right, I bet even the client is fake."
"And something will definitely happen tonight."
"Didn't I tell you that when I scouted, I didn't find anything?"
"Not a single trace, and that in itself is the biggest trace."
Uchiha Shisui also added.
