The two of them waited for about two days. During these two days, Kurenai and the others did not dare to relax their vigilance at all. They were waiting for the arrival of the escort troops from the Sand Village.
Until today, Hinata, who had the Byakugan, observed the direction from which the Sand Village people were coming every hour. Finally, she saw the Sand Village people escorting the carriage loaded with gold slowly moving forward.
"Sister Hong, the people from the Sand Village have appeared!"
Hinata immediately ran to Kurenai to report the good news. Because Naruto called her so easily, Kurenai got used to it. Later, Hinata simply followed Naruto and called Kurenai "Sister Hong". Especially when she later asked Kurenai to learn cooking skills, the relationship between the two sides became even closer.
"Are you finally here? Call Kiba and Shino, pack up the tent, we are ready for the handover!"
Yuhi Kurenai immediately began to make arrangements. This was not the first time she had done this, and she knew the process by heart.
Hinata quickly gave instructions to Yuhi Kurenai's arrangements. Kiba and Shino, the two hard-working people, had to stand guard at night and work as laborers during the day. There was no other way, who made them feel sorry for their work? Moreover, they were boys, and they were the main force of the work.
After a while, the people from the Sand Village appeared in front of them. After the escorting Sand Village ninjas checked the identity of the people, the two sides immediately began the handover. After carefully counting the quantity and goods, Yuhi Kurenai signed her name on the handover form and handed the certificate of the transaction to the Sand Village ninjas.
Once this thing was in hand, it meant that the goods belonged to Konoha from this moment on. Even if someone came and robbed the gold in front of the Sand Village, the Sand Village would not be responsible because the handover had been completed!
Whoever has the problem will be held responsible. This is the rule!
"The goods have been handed over. Everyone from Konoha, it's up to you next!" The Sand Village ninja holding the certificate breathed a sigh of relief.
The goods were handed over, and a big stone in his heart fell.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone from the Sand Village. Let us take care of it next! I wish you a safe journey!" Yuhi Kurenai politely greeted the Sand Village ninja who came to hand over. She could naturally feel the other party's nervousness!
After all, it's not fast to carry such a large amount of gold on the road. Anyone would be worried.
"You too! It's still early. Everyone, hurry up and get on the road. Complete the task early and be safe early!"
The people of the Sand Village also know the rules. It's useless to stay here after getting the task certificate. It's better to return to the village to hand over the task. For the people who come to Konoha to take over, they also hope that the other party can arrive safely early. After all, no one wants anything to happen.
"Thank you, everyone!"
Yuhi Kurenai also had the same idea in mind. The two people's ideas coincided with each other, so there was no need to say more polite words. After the two sides said goodbye to each other tacitly, the people from the Sand Village turned around and left, while Kiba and Shino stood in front of the carriage one after the other.
Hinata drove the carriage. In the past few days, they had already made tactical arrangements. Kiba and Shino protected the carriage one after the other, Hinata was responsible for rushing the road, and Yuhi Kurenai was responsible for observing the whole scene. Once there was any disturbance, all members of the eighth team would immediately enter combat status.
Hinata drove the carriage slowly forward. Due to the weight of gold, the carriage did not move fast, which resulted in the time they spent on the way back being much longer than the time they spent on the way.
"Teacher Kurenai, why don't we hire a few more horses? Just these few, you can see how hard it is to pull. At the speed, by the time we reach Konoha, the flowers will probably be cold!"
Inuzuka Kiba led the way in front, and couldn't help muttering that the horses were too slow.
"No, although hiring more horses can speed up the journey, the bumps on the road will increase. If there is a small stone or something, the carriage may overturn due to the high speed. Once the gold falls to the ground, it will take us much longer to reload the carriage than to travel. Moreover, the situation may be even more dangerous."
Yuhi Hong directly rejected Kiba's proposal. This had happened before. The gold fell off the cliff halfway because the ninja who drove the carriage hired more horses and increased the speed without authorization. As a result, the carriage overturned when passing the cliff due to excessive speed. The entire carriage of gold fell off the cliff. Later, all the ninjas in charge of this mission were severely punished.
So later, everyone would rather go slower than bear this kind of risk.
Risk!
After all, if you are slow, you may just encounter robbery, and as a ninja, you may not be defeated; but if you fail, you will definitely suffer!
On the other hand, Kakashi and his team had a smooth journey. Although everyone was alert and did not let go of any disturbance, they still did not find any suspicious situation. Until they were almost at the task handover point of the Tea Country, they still did not encounter any emergencies.
This made several people feel relieved, especially Kakashi. It would be best if nothing happened. He was most afraid of trouble.
As for Sasuke, since he learned Kakashi's Raikiri, coupled with Kakashi's constant teaching day and night, now his Sharingan has opened to two magatama, and his Raikiri ninjutsu has also made great progress. Whether it is seal formation, lethality or release timing, Kakashi taught him everything he knew. Under such conditions, Sasuke's strength has made great progress.
Now he is eager for a few blind thieves to appear, just in time for him to try out his new tricks.
Naruto has been restless these days. The closer he gets to the mission location, the stronger his uneasiness becomes. He always feels that something bad will happen. In the past, when he encountered such a situation, basically someone was thinking about him, and the system would issue a task to give a prompt.
But this time, he clearly felt that something was wrong, but the system did not indicate it, and he himself could not tell what was wrong.
He told Kakashi about this situation, and Kakashi also felt that something was wrong with Naruto along the way, but he thought it was a psychological effect caused by Naruto being too worried about Hinata's situation.
In fact, Kakashi also suspected whether there might be danger, but from leaving the village to now, several people have not encountered even a mountain bandit on the way. Those who know understand that they are on a mission, and those who don't know think that several people are just simple travelers.
Naruto and his friends are so safe along the way, there is nothing wrong.
On the other side, some ninjas wearing black robes and masks stood on several big trees, and one of them said.
"They showed up, and it looks like they'll be here soon!"
"Tell them to get ready, remember the mission requirements! Be quick!"
"Got it!"
At the same time, Naruto and his team also successfully arrived at the trading location, and successfully connected with the people from the Tea Country. After getting Kakashi's confirmation, Naruto used Flying Thunder God to travel between the two places in a very short time according to the address given by Kakashi, and got the fourth scroll that Kakashi had saved.
After handing all the scrolls to the other party, Kakashi said.
"Check it out, everyone, if there is no problem, we will return!"
