Chapter 65 Fire and Wind Border!

On the carriage.

"This is Maruichi, Shuji, and Yukino!"

"Our team has been established for more than two years!"

...

Yamagami Satoru introduced the three students to Dohei.

In terms of age, these three are one or two years older than Tang Ping.

But in terms of status, Tang Ping is on par with their teacher.

In this regard.

Both Shan Shangwu and these people were used to it.

Ninjas only care about strength and status, not age.

And they also think it is natural for geniuses to receive special treatment.

Just like Kakashi!
He was already a Chunin at the age of seven, who would treat him as a child?

A teenage Chunin like Dou Ping is definitely considered the elite of the village, and his future status will be far above their civilian team.

"Senior Wu, what is this convoy transporting, and where is its destination?"

Tang Ping asked about the content of the mission.

The content of the mission scroll given to him was vague. The purpose should be to single him out and capture him, so naturally it would not be too clear.

"It's supplies being transported to the Fire Wind Border Camp!"

Naturally, Yamagami Satoru would not hide anything about this information that did not need to be kept secret.

"Is this so!"

Tang Ping finally understood why this was the mandatory task.

Maybe they felt the threat from Sunagakure, so they were in a hurry to transport supplies.

In the past, one squad was more than enough.

After all, the bandits who rob people on the road are no match for the ninjas.

That's different now.

We must prevent the Sand Ninja from causing destruction.

along the way.

Tang Ping also got a lot of information from the middle-aged uncle Shan Shangwu.

The other party spent most of his time outside on missions, so he knew a lot, and it also helped Dohei gain a deeper understanding of the ninja world.

All he could say was that the ninja world was much more cruel than he had imagined.

Every day, countless people starve to death or are killed.

Where there are ninja villages, there is at least some order. If it is a small country without a ninja village, chaos and famine exist all the time, which is like hell.

Of course, what Tang Ping thought after listening to this was.

The ninja nobles are really inhumane.

Productivity was underdeveloped, and the nobles reaped the vast majority of the benefits, so naturally they pushed ordinary people to death.

In other words, he is not a saintly person, otherwise he would have to go to these nobles to "carry rice" and let them understand what pain is.

The future Nagato-san went to Konoha to help him, but he was looking for the wrong person.

Because the source of chaos in the ninja world is mostly the nobles and the Otsutsuki family, the ninja village is nothing.

On the escort mission!

I actually encountered a few "dangerous" situations.

Some "thieves" who came to rob with wooden pitchforks made Tang Ping dumbfounded.

There was no need for him to take action against these people. As long as they found that there were ninjas in the team, they would run away immediately.

Well, that's the benefit of having a ninja escort.

If there hadn't been a ninja escort, these thieves would have looted all the goods long ago.

Moreover, when faced with the caravan's attempts to win them over, Yamagami Satoru and the three Genin remained indifferent throughout the whole process. They would rather eat rice balls than the food handed to them by the other party, and they even lived separately.

It's like everyone is in a simple 'employment' relationship, only discussing tasks and nothing else.

Tang Ping also knew the reason why this happened.

During the escort mission, you must remain alert and at a distance from the team.

This will avoid some accidents.

It took nearly half a month for their team to arrive at the border camp between the Huofeng countries.

This camp is used to guard against the Sand Ninjas from the Wind Country. The permanent number of people stationed there is one battalion.

300 people!
Please note that this refers to the number of ninjas, not ordinary people.

If it were ordinary people, even if there were more than 100,000 people stationed there, it would not be an exaggeration.

But because there is an extraordinary group called 'Ninja' in the Ninja World, ordinary guards are meaningless in front of them, so only the number of ninjas is counted.

The camp was built with huge stones, located halfway up the mountain, and was dotted with high towers and shooting holes, making it look extremely solid.

Even if surrounded, we can still hold our ground by relying on the geographical advantage.

Patrol teams are usually sent out to monitor the surrounding area of ​​several hundred kilometers to prevent attacks by the Sand Ninja army.

For ordinary people, the patrol range of dozens of kilometers is the limit.

But for ninjas, a few hundred kilometers is only about two hours at full speed, so this camp closely monitors the border area between the Fire and Wind countries.

The originally peaceful border camp has become extremely lively during this period.

Caravans, ninja squads... filled this border camp, which was called a camp but was actually a fortress.

And you can also smell a strong smell of blood.

Although conflicts with the Sand Ninjas have never ceased, they were not so frequent in the past.

It was these signs that made Konoha rush to replenish manpower and supplies.

After entering the camp and completing his mission, Tang Ping prepared to report.

Just left the place where the task was to be handed in.

A fat boy whose body shape was totally unsuitable for being a ninja rushed over quickly.

"Tang Ping!"

It’s Honda Eagle, their team is here too.

But it looks like he didn't just arrive, but has been here for some time.

It's not impossible that this could happen.

Dohei is escorting a convoy, so naturally their arrival speed is slow. However, if they were to march as ninjas, they could reach the border camp from Konoha in a few days.

"How long have you been here?"

When he saw his best friend, a bad thought flashed through Tang Ping's mind.

Because under normal circumstances, a team like his, which had just graduated for less than a year, would not come to the border.

"I've been here for more than half a month, and I've been patrolling all this time..."

Honda Ying answered in a low voice.

In fact, their team left Konoha together with Dohei, but they reported directly to the border camp, so they were able to arrive so early.

At the same time, Tang Ping also learned about the situation of this fire/wind border camp from him.

very dangerous!
During this period of time alone, a large number of ninjas were injured. Even the instructor of Honda Takashi's team was injured and was now lying in the camp recuperating.

As for the healing potion?

Sorry, this kind of strategic material is not something that ordinary Chunins can use.

Honda Ying did have a few bottles that Tang Ping had given him before, but they had been used up long ago.

As for the medical ninja? .

Yes, there are, but not many of them, and not many who can be treated. If there are many injured people, you can only wait in line.

"In other words, your team's patrol mission during this period..."

Tang Ping asked with a frown.

Without a guiding teacher to lead the way, we can only leave it to fate if we encounter the Sand Ninja Team during patrol.

"Well, I won't say any more. I'm leaving now!"

Honda Eagle noticed that his teammates were waving at him, so he prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" Tang Ping stopped him, took out several bottles of healing potion (not original solution) and antidote potion and handed them to him secretly, "Be careful!"

The medicines are all packed in ordinary bottles with the name of the medicine engraved on them, so there is no need to worry about using the wrong medicine.

His best friend helped him a lot.

For example, he was responsible for helping to collect all the materials for the clearing agent, so how could he not help when he encountered them?

Of course, Tang Ping can only help up to this point, after all, he still has tasks to complete.

After completing the escort mission, Tang Ping could not return to the village directly, but had to serve in the border camp.

But when he saw the camp leader, his face instantly darkened.
