The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 36 The First Official Battle

After reporting the name of Jiraiya, the mayor of the small town will naturally not have any hesitation. The second ninja world war has only been a few years. At this time, Konoha Sannin's name is the most resounding. For the B-level task, Konoha Sannin took the shot, and they felt that there was no problem at all.

Two days later, a caravan with dozens of people, escorting more than a dozen carts of goods, set off from the small town.

Rikimaru and his team were mixed in the crowd of the caravan. Because of the large number of caravans, they had made some disguises, so it was unlikely that they would be recognized immediately.

"If an enemy appears later, Rikimaru, you attack first, and Minato and Kushina come back."

Jiraiya also began to assign tasks, because this is only a B-level task, and the information does not show that there are ninjas, so if Namikaze Minato takes the shot, it will not have the training effect.

So he let Rikimaru, who is still a ninja, be the main force, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are the rear. As for himself, unless there is an unpredictable danger, he will not make a move.

"Understood." All three of Rikimaru nodded.

Because of the escort of the ninja, the person in charge of the caravan felt much more confident and bold, and started to act according to the usual transportation route, with great fanfare, in order to lure the bandits out.

In order to take a shortcut, the caravan turned from the avenue to the trail. This was also done on purpose, because most of the tragedies that happened before happened on the trail or in the forest.

The reason why everyone takes the trail forest is entirely because if you keep taking the main road, not only will you take a detour, but you also need to pay a certain fee to pass through certain areas. Therefore, in order to save money, many people prefer to take the trail.

The first day of the caravan was uneventful until the afternoon of the second day when the long-awaited enemy finally appeared.

It has been almost a day since I entered the trail at the edge of the forest. When the caravan was about to leave this area, a large group of people suddenly rushed out from the forest on both sides. There were three or forty people. These people were all armed and stared fiercely at the caravan. everyone.

"Haha, after waiting for so long, finally there is another business."

Walked out of this group of people was a strong man with a face full of flesh. He was two meters tall and looked very fierce.

"Hand over all the goods."

The bandits thought that the people in the caravan would panic and panic when they saw them, but to their surprise, the people in the caravan didn't panic, instead they abandoned the goods and retreated in an orderly manner.

"Master Ninja, it's them, they are the robbers who do all kinds of evil."

The people in the caravan ran around Riki and the others. In fact, these people were not merchants at all, but guards sent by the town on purpose. As for the goods, they were not goods, but carts of stones.

Some robbers, who were confused about the situation, saw the people in the caravan abandoning the goods, and immediately rushed to check, but when they opened it, they were angrily found that all the goods were stones.

"Boss, these are not goods at all, they are all stones."

The strong man at the head glared at him immediately, and shouted: "You lowly fellows, how dare you deceive me, I want to kill you all."

This gang of robbers was not the first time committing a crime, and they were all extremely vicious. When they heard the boss's order, they all roared and rushed towards everyone in the caravan.

The people in this caravan are not ordinary people, they are all guards of the small town, so they are more or less combative, but they didn't make a move, but looked at Jiraiya. Before they came, the superiors had already issued an order He issued an order to let them obey Jiraiya's arrangements with full authority.

Ji Lai also looked at the group of robbers in surprise, he thought that they would quickly retreat after they found out that this was a trap.

But who would have thought that instead of retreating, the other party rushed up immediately, not to mention that the momentum of nearly forty robbers charging over together completely overwhelmed the caravan guards.

"Minato, Kushina, Rikimaru, listen to the order, Minato is in the center, Kushina and Rikimaru cover on both sides, come on."

Jiraiya also saw that these were ordinary people, so he didn't feel nervous at all, and gave orders to the three of Rikimaru in an orderly manner.

However, he still changed the tactics he had formulated before. Rikimaru was just a ninja after all. Facing so many people at once, he was worried that Rikimaru would not be able to resist, so his colleagues asked Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina to take action.

The three of Riki were very fast and rushed out of the crowd. Minato Namikaze was in the center, Riki was on the left, and Kushina Uzumaki was on the right. The three of them attacked at the same time and rushed towards the group of robbers.

"Kushina, Rikimaru, these are murderous bandits, don't show mercy."

After the shot, Namikaze Minato also specially warned Rikimaru and Uzumaki Kushina, because he knew that neither of them had killed anyone before, and the first time to kill people is often very nervous, and accidents are prone to occur.

Ninja's physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Even at Rikimaru's age, his speed is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After the three rushed into the crowd, they were like wolves into a herd of sheep.

Especially Namikaze Minato, who knocked down the two of them in one encounter. Although Uzumaki Kushina is a woman, she is not weak in her hands. Under continuous attacks, few robbers can approach her at all. Kicked away violently.

As for Riki, although he has never experienced this kind of team battle, because of his short and nimble body, he scurried around in the crowd like a monkey, stabbing several robbers continuously with the kunai in his hand.

It's just that it was his first time killing an enemy after all, and he didn't do anything cruel. The robbers he stabbed didn't die, but they were seriously injured.

"Tu Dun·Huangquan Swamp!"

Quickly avoiding the opponent, Rikimaru quickly formed seals with both hands, using the earth escape ninjutsu, Huangquan Swamp.

In an instant, the ground soil several meters around turned into liquid, forming a large-scale swamp. Those robbers never thought of this sudden situation. Anyone who approached Rikimaru fell into the swamp.

"No, boss, they're ninjas."

As Riki used ninjutsu, those robbers suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even as ordinary people, they knew the power of ninjas. They never thought that there were ninjas in this group of caravans. The three of them should all be ninjas.

"Wind escape, big breakthrough!" Namikaze Minato also quickly used ninjutsu, blowing all the enemies in front of him away.

Similarly, Uzumaki Kushina also used the same Fudun as Namikaze Minato, and the three of them used ninjutsu at the same time. The group of robbers couldn't resist at all, most of them were knocked down, and the rest retreated in horror.

"Damn, why are there ninjas, and they are ninjas from Konoha Village."

When the bandit leader saw the forehead guards on Namikaze Minato and the others, his face became extremely ugly. Although he was a samurai, he also knew how powerful ninjas were, especially because he had been in contact with ninjas before, so his heart became more dignified.

"retreat!"

After thinking for a moment, the bandit leader immediately issued an order to retreat. Having been a bandit for many years, he naturally knew when to make the most correct choice.
