After a long journey, Mikawa's squad finally managed to escort the goods to the Grass Country safely.

Moreover, the time calculation was just right, and it just so happened that all the supplies they brought were used up.

Mikawa's experienced experience really made Aoba and the others admire him!

Even the people in charge of the caravan, who had other motives at the beginning, could not hide their excitement because they only needed to pass through the middle of the Land of Rivers to smoothly reach the Land of Iron and deliver this batch of goods.

Moreover, they no longer need to eat and sleep in the wild!

Even if the supplies were all used up, it would not matter. In a civilized country, how could they be afraid of not being able to buy food with money?

Moreover, they were not afraid of being targeted after exposing their wealth. After all, they asked Konoha's people to escort them to prevent this.

"Lord Mikawa, do you think we should rest here for a day before setting off tomorrow?" The person in charge of the caravan asked with a fawning tone.

Logically speaking, since they had already entered the Grass Country, they should not waste another day or two more days.

Mikawa originally wanted everyone to rest here for a day, but after entering the Grass Country, his heartbeat began to accelerate for some reason. It was as if there was some great danger hidden in the dark, making him have no choice but to pay attention to it!

Although his intuition was sometimes useless, it was precise because of this keen perception of danger that he was able to escape from danger time and time again.

Of course, there were also quite a few times he found out that it was a false alarm.

But for safety reasons, he decided to quickly pass through the Grass Country and make plans after he arrived at the Land of Rivers. If it were still so unsettling, he would definitely choose to travel through the night without rest and head directly to the Land of Iron!

Therefore, Mikawa said, "No, immediately send someone to purchase supplies. It will be enough for a few days of rations. We will immediately head to the Land of Rivers. This place gives me a bad feeling."

Because intuition couldn't be used as a reason to convince others, Mikawa simply gave a vague hint. Anyway, he was the leader of this mission. Land of Tea's representative gave him a lot of authority before he went out, so he requested to deliver this batch of goods to Land of Iron.

So he was not afraid that the other party would disagree with his point of view.

That was indeed the case. Even though the person in charge of the caravan had some complaints in his heart, under Mikawa's insistence, he still forced a smile and brought people to purchase.

Moreover, since he was already here, he should at least let the big guy eat hot food.

For this kind of request, Mikawa could no longer be unreasonable, but if it were for only himself, he would definitely choose to leave the Grass Country immediately.

"I hope this time I am thinking too much..."

Mikawa sighed in his heart and hesitated for a moment. He just reminded Aoba and the others to be careful as usual and then waited anxiously.

......

At the same time, Kumogakure ninjas, who had sneaked into the Grass Country early, almost immediately discovered the figure of Konoha's ninja escorting a large number of supplies.

Moreover, they quickly sent information through the Spirit Communication Beast to the higher-ups of Kumogakure at the front lines!

When the higher-ups of Kumogakure learned that there was really Konoha Ninja who secretly transported something to the Land of Iron according to the information they had received before, their faces instantly turned ugly.

Although there was no way to find out what this batch of goods was.

It could be just a cover!

They had to make a move!

Although the intelligence said that only four ninjas were escorting this batch of goods, and there were three little kids among them.

But no one could guarantee that there would be an ambush in the dark.

They would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!

Konoha must die!

No matter what this batch of goods was, they, Kumogakure, would definitely take it!

Therefore, the backup plan that had been prepared in advance immediately began to act according to the orders they received!

A large number of Kumogakure Ninjas hiding in the neighboring country began to set up an encirclement. At the same time, Kumogakure Ninjas, who sneaked into the Land of Iron, quietly collected information everywhere, trying to find the ninjas on Konoha's side!

If they found it, it would definitely be a big catch!

Perhaps they might even break this stalemate!

One party is already prepared to make a move, and if the other party doesn't move, it will be a deadly situation.

However, the other side still didn't know anything. They only relied on their intuition to sense danger.

If there were no unexpected factors, then Mikawa's class might be unable to escape this time.

....

Two hours later, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

After the head of the caravan finished purchasing supplies, the others also enjoyed a rare meal.

However, when they heard that they still had to continue their journey, Land of Tea's people were very dissatisfied and complained a lot.

Thus, the time for departure was once again delayed.

At this time, Kumogakure Ninja, who had been secretly watching them, was also a little anxious.

"What should we do? The other side doesn't seem to be preparing to rest here. They are preparing to leave the Grass Country overnight."

"I now begin to believe that the supplies escorted by these Konoha Ninjas are definitely not simple. Otherwise, why would they be so urgent!"

"Do you need to say that? Who knows how many Konoha Ninjas are hidden in the dark?"

"If we let them continue on their way, it is very likely that they will bump into our people. If this is another trap that Konoha deliberately lured us into, our people might suffer a great loss!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The other person gritted his teeth and said firmly, "We will pretend to be wandering ninjas who rob and attack random people! We must drag them here and lure out the enemies in the dark!"

When the people around him heard this, they were silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right. Let's do it!"

The meaning of their words was obviously that they were prepared for the worst, but as long as they could buy a certain amount of time and detonate the 'mine' in the dark, their sacrifice would not be in vain!

Death was just the home of the Ninjas!

From the day they set foot on the battlefield, they had already made up their minds!

Therefore, after Kumogakure ninjas, who were originally hiding in the Grass Country, received the contact, they immediately formed a consensus.

After killing these Konoha's ninjas, they would lure out the hidden enemies in advance!

Just as the person in charge of the caravan finally calmed the others and prepared to continue on their journey.

Mikawa's heart, which had already become very fast, once again accelerated!

Moreover, he also noticed that some unknown strangers were gradually approaching them.

Not good!

They had been targeted!

At this time, Mikawa only thought that this batch of goods had been targeted by someone and did not associate it with Kumogakure at all.

He immediately gave Aoba and the others a meaningful look.

Not only him, but even Aoba and the others had already felt the killing intent that filled the air, so they immediately understood and prepared to make a move at any time!
