Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 38 Sandstorm
Under the scorching sun that day, a small camel team was walking among the yellow sand in the sky.

More than 90.00% of the territory of the Kingdom of Wind is covered by yellow sand, so living materials are in short supply.

For civilians, the only source of supplies is the small caravans that travel endlessly in the desert.

For caravans, the journey to the Kingdom of Wind is difficult. If you are not careful, you may get lost in the yellow sand, or unfortunately fall into the quicksand. Even if you encounter a large sandstorm, the entire caravan will be submerged. Under the yellow sand.

However, in the face of high profits, countless people still keep going.

Because of the extreme shortage of supplies, any simple luxury goods such as spices and tobacco can be sold for dozens of times higher.

In order to exchange enough living materials from merchants, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind deliberately reduced the relevant taxes to an extremely low level.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Wind is rich in various ores, which are not only cheap but also stable in supply. It is the largest source of supply for various gem chambers and metallurgical associations.

To put it simply, like the countries in the Middle East today, it is a country that develops extensively by selling its ore resources in exchange for wealth, and then purchasing general supplies from merchants at high prices.

Even during the war, this spontaneous private trade still did not end.

The Kingdom of Wind is worried that once private caravan traffic is banned, it will cause huge disasters to the lives of grassroots civilians.

Konoha, on the other hand, simply felt that it provided a rare opportunity for the infiltration of its own intelligence personnel.

The Crescent Caravan has been traveling on this desert road for 20 years, and is quite famous on this trade route.

Yongta, who is now in charge of this caravan, is a middle-aged man over forty years old.

He looked at the darkening sky in the distance and frowned. Years of experience told him that a sandstorm was coming.

So he quickly ordered the caravan to rest where it was.

Under the command of the caravan clerk, more than a dozen camels lay on the ground in a circle, and seven or eight young people aged [-] or [-] began to skillfully reinforce the goods and set up wind shelters.

These are the apprentices temporarily recruited by the merchants. Generally speaking, after such a trip, Yongtai will keep the more practical and capable ones and formally add them to the caravan.

On the side, four or five tall and armed men gathered together and talked and laughed leisurely, ignoring the greetings of the waiters on the side.

Yongta was immediately furious. These people were the bodyguards he recruited in the Rain Ninja Village.

Not only are their eyes high above their heads, but sometimes they even don’t listen to what Yunta, his employer, says.

This made Yuta couldn't help but miss the time when he could freely hire ninjas a few years ago.

Although the cost is higher, whether it is Konoha, Sunagakure, or even the ninjas of Amegakure, their emphasis on their employer's orders and their strength are not comparable to these guys in front of them.

But as the war becomes more and more anxious, the hiring fee of ninjas keeps rising, and since their trade routes pass through both warring parties, hiring ninjas will be in great trouble.

That's why I chose these guys who were strong and good-looking, mainly to guard against some unscrupulous bandits.

As the wind and sand grew stronger, the bodyguards also sensed something was wrong, and wanted to squeeze into the center of the camel formation.

The guys who had just set up the windproof cloth saw the fierce looks on each other's faces, and they were too angry to say anything.

Suddenly there was a shout. It turned out to be a younger apprentice. He was squeezed out unexpectedly and staggered to the ground.

"Haha!" The instigator on the side laughed. "Boy, go and build another windshield yourself. I've already taken this position."

"Come to my side!" A young voice sounded. The man was wearing a black close-fitting shirt. Judging from his age, he should be an apprentice.

Looking at the hands handed over by the young man in black, Yuliang touched his sore cheek and stood up slowly, struggling to squeeze into the camel circle again.

Just when it was about to land, the big man on the side was unhappy and said, "It's too crowded here, get out of here!" Then he pushed hard.When everyone saw this scene, they were all angry. These guys were really bullying.

If this apprentice doesn't come in, he will probably die if he is buried when the sandstorm comes.

But when faced with this situation, seeing that Yongta, the owner of the caravan, was unwilling to cause trouble at this juncture, everyone dared not speak out in anger.

However, the next moment, something surprising happened.

The big man pushed hard and flew away. Then an inexplicable gust of wind and sand blew past him. The man stumbled and slipped out of the windshield and fell to the outside of the camel formation.

The young apprentice named Yuliang took the opportunity to squeeze in and occupy the big man's position.

The big man who got up again was furious, "Who pushed me just now? Stand up if you have the guts!"

After saying that, he started to squeeze towards the center of the camel formation again.

However, just when he was about to touch the camel team, his foot slipped and he fell directly in front of the young apprentice in black with a plop.

To outsiders, it seemed like a deliberate salute to the offended apprentice.

The big man stood up again, ashamed and angry, and pulled out the knife he carried with him.

"Damn it, you dare to laugh at me!" The big man said fiercely to everyone in front of him, "Get the hell out of here!"

"Boss, this is against the rules, isn't it?" The apprentice in black turned to the caravan boss, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

You're the one who's so troublesome!

This boy in black was met by him at the border of the Land of Rain. After hearing that his destination was Sunagakure Village, he happily joined him, but he was usually taciturn, so he didn't expect that he would cause trouble for him at this time!

Yuta closed his eyes at this moment and said nothing.

He knew that it was very common for people to die on this trade route. He still needed the protection of these guys and could not offend them.

"Yo! It's you who's the one who takes the lead, right?" The strong man saw that the young man seemed to have no fear of him, and said with a ferocious look on his face, "Get out!"

"Don't, don't, don't." Yuliang, who had just been pulled in, saw that the conflict between the two was about to start. He was afraid that the boy in black would suffer. Although he was scared, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Jiliang, apologize quickly. If we continue to squeeze in, we can still live here." There’s room for one person to stand.”

"Hey, you two, get out of here, otherwise my knife won't be able to see!"

"unacceptable!"

"It's a pity. These two young men are quite nimble. I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster this time!"

"That's right, why did I happen to provoke this guy?"

"None of us will go down." The young man in black named Kira said calmly, "If you don't come up, go somewhere else!"

Fuck me!
The strong man was extremely angry, but with a cruel smile on his face, he slowly walked forward and stabbed forward with a fierce knife!

Stab straight to the chest of the young man in black short shirt.

Finished!

Many people covered their eyes, not wanting to see the tragic scene of blood splattering in the next moment.

Especially the younger Yura next to him, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide at this moment.

He never expected that the other party would make a move at the slightest disagreement.
