Chapter 70: The Most Cautious Man

Yeruashi frowned slightly and entered the only open store in the village, which was a teahouse, and was a bit desolate inside.

The owner clearly didn't care about the customers, but after seeing Yeruashi take out a packet of Ryo, he quickly served tea and snacks.

In the dark.

Several pairs of eyes watched as Yeruashi entered the teahouse.

After watching as Yeruashi entered the teahouse, one of his observers frowned slightly, disappeared in the rain and came inside a hut on the north side of the village, jumped straight to the second floor and climbed in through the window.

"Boss.... a ninja showed up."

"Ninja?"

In the room sat a man with a scarred face, he opened his eyes and said in a solemn voice, "What is his appearance?"

"He is very young, between twelve or thirteen years old, no protector, but not like a renegade, maybe an Amegakure ninja or some other village."

The scarred ninja narrowed his eyes and said, "Just one?"

The sudden appearance of such a young ninja in the village, without a protector of course, was something to be wary of.

The subordinate nodded, eyes cold, "Yes, but I'm not sure if he spotted us.... Boss, maybe we should make a move first and finish him off?"

"No."

The scarred ninja shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Go and inform everyone... we'll leave this village."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment.

He's just a young ninja of unknown origin, it's not even clear if he was coming for them or if they had been discovered, but does the boss want to evacuate the village immediately? Isn't he too cautious?

Scar Man stood up and said a little impatiently, "Go, quick!"

He really couldn't be sure, maybe this young ninja was just passing through, but during times of war, you should be as careful as possible, it would be better to leave the village quietly and come back after a month, that was the most appropriate thing to do.

As a renegade ninja who had defected from Iwagakure village during the Second World Ninja War, to have survived so far and to have formed a small force depended on the utmost caution and prudence!

Any battle with a ninja should be avoided at all costs.

Especially with ninja of unknown origin.

Otherwise, once they left any traces and were tracked down by some large village behind the ninja of unknown origin, it would be a big problem, not to mention the five large ninja village, even if it was like a small ninja village like Amegakure or Kusagakure, they couldn't afford to mess with them.

"Yeah."

After a moment of consternation, the subordinate nodded and left the room.

The scar-faced ninja went to the closet, pulled out several large packages from Ryo and placed them in a bag, while placing a long wooden box in the bag.

A few moments later.

At least a dozen ninjas wearing rice hats and raincoats entered the courtyard.

"Boss, this is just a little boy, aren't you too careful?"

"Yeah, this kid didn't necessarily come for us, maybe he's just passing by, don't worry so much."

Many ninjas frowned and raised objections.

Their boss was always too careful, just because a ninja of unknown origin appeared, he decided to temporarily evacuate the entire village, and because it was a time of war, so leaving the village could be even more dangerous, and it would be even more dangerous if they encounter ninja from some ninja village.

"... Those who wish to stay may do so."

The scarred ninja walked out of the house with his bag on his back, not caring about the opinions of the crowd, but spoke casually, "And whoever is willing to come with me, may follow me."

Saying this, he left the courtyard and walked straight out of the village.

The ninjas in the courtyard looked at each other, some hesitated for a moment before following quickly, while the remaining three or four ninjas looked angry and unsure.

"The boss is too careful."

"He's just a little boy, if the boss is worried about possible revelations, isn't it easier to kill him?"

"You're right, in times of war, even the Great Peoples don't have time to pay attention to the death of a single ninja and investigate."

The remaining ninja looked at each other and nodded, coming to a consensus.

Let's kill this kid quietly!

There might even be a windfall.

...

A few moments later.

At a small river east of town.

The scar ninja left the village along with seven of his subordinates all the way here, and was about to cross the stream when he stopped abruptly in his tracks.

It is unknown when the figure appeared on the other bank, he looked like a teenager and was no longer wearing a rice hat, with silver hair damp from the rain.

This, of course, was Yeruashi.

He looked at the group leader and said, "You managed to survive in this dangerous world for a good reason..."

This bastard ran away decisively right after hearing the news of his entrance to the village!

If the members of this bastard didn't decide to attack him at the teahouse, giving Yeruashi the opportunity to quickly get the information of the location of the group leader, this bastard really would have escaped quietly!

What's more important...

If he had met him, it would have been fine, but he didn't know who he was, nor did he know that he was a ninja from Konoha, nor did he know about his battle in the Grass Country, Only knowing that a ninja from some village appeared in the village, he immediately decided to run away!

I, Uchiha Madara, call you the most careful one!!!!!

"Do you have a Kusanagi sword?"

Yeruashi asked bluntly.

Hearing these words, several ninjas looked at him coldly and one of them said, "Aren't you too arrogant, brat?"

However.

Just as his words fell, he saw the scarred ninja pull out a wooden box from the bag on his back and threw it directly at Yeruashi, the box exploded while in the air, revealing a Kusanagi sword with a scabbard landing directly in front of Yeruashi.

Not only were the ninjas a bit stunned by this scene, but even Yeruashi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment

"Here you go."

Having said this, the scarred ninja immediately moved off into the distance and fled.

A silence ensued.

The scene quickly became awkward.

The ninja who spoke stood looking at this scene, dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.

This little boy came for the Kusanagi Sword and his boss simply gave it to him? And then he ran away, is this kid so scary!

"Haha, it was interesting..."

Yeruashi took the Kusanagi sword and laughed, it was the first time he encountered such a ninja.

He was already determined to kill and get the Kusanagi sword from their corpses, but the other party just handed over the Kusanagi sword and ran away, the contrast between expectation and reality was too strong.

"...."

The subordinate ninjas gradually recovered from the shock and looked at the Kusanagi Sword in Yeruashi's hands, their eyes glittered with greed.

This is Kusanagi's sword!

If they could get hold of it, they could sell it and live comfortably for the rest of their lives, No longer would they have to undertake these dangerous clandestine missions to earn some money!

Before this, the Kusanagi Sword was in the hands of their boss, and knowing his strength, they didn't even dare to think about it, but now, the boss gave the sword without a fight to a little boy!

The brat in front of them was probably a ninja from a big ninja village, who even their boss didn't want to mess with, the five big ninja villages were really intimidating.

But...

Greed can suppress even fear.

If they quickly killed this brat, snatched the Kusanagi Sword from him and sold it in the underworld, and then disappeared among the common people, even the Great Ninja Villages would have a hard time tracking them down!

A ninja took a deep breath, his eyes blinked for a while, and finally made a decision, his hands moved slowly, took the kunai stored in his clothes, and the chakra flowed rapidly inside his body.
