Chapter 37: Departing for the Land of Earth!

Since the Third Hokage has already said so, Junichiro Koizumi naturally has to believe it. Even though the strength of Konoha Village has declined somewhat in recent years.

But in the entire ninja world, Konoha is still the largest village in the ninja world. Out of consideration for his own safety, he came to Konoha for help as soon as possible. "Since the Hokage has said so, I naturally believe in the strength of Konoha as a whole."

While speaking, Junichiro Koizumi did not take his eyes off Seishi. He was also extremely curious about what made Seishi different from ordinary ninjas. To be able to obtain the title of Konoha's Kirin at the age of over ten.

You should know that the ninjas who can be named in the ninja world are basically not weak. Even if he is not a ninja, he has heard more or less about the legend of Konoha's Kirin in recent years.

"Well, Seishi, if there are no problems, then you should escort Jun back to the Land of Earth as soon as possible." "Yes, Lord Hokage..."

After saying this, Seishi and Junichiro Koizumi set off from Konoha. On the way, in addition to Junichiro Koizumi, he also carried four guards with him.

From their dress and posture with long swords hanging from their waists, they seemed to be samurai. For such a long journey, Junichiro Koizumi cannot walk back by himself. Sitting in a luxurious carriage, Seishi couldn't help but exclaim how good it was to have money.

The space inside the car is basically about the same size as some smaller houses.

All the entertainment facilities that should be there and other things are available, without any missing. Compared to himself, Seishi felt that he was living too hard.

But feeling the speed of the "motorhome", Seishi was also speechless. Junichiro Koizumi clearly wanted to return to the Land of Earth as soon as possible. But at the current speed, who knows when they will arrive. He had already asked Junichiro Koizumi this question just now.

But Junichiro Koizumi's original words were that if the speed of the carriage was too fast, he would feel very bumpy.

At his age and physical condition, he couldn't bear it. "Damn the Land of Rain. I gave them so much before, and now they're not behaving..."

"If I knew this, I shouldn't have given them anything, and let them starve to death. Now they're a group of ungrateful wolves, biting me back and making things so complicated..." Thinking about the current situation, Junichiro Koizumi couldn't help but curse out loud.

And at this moment, Seishi showed a curious expression. It seemed that Junichiro Koizumi had been wronged and wanted to find someone to help him reason.

So he turned his head and said to Seishi, "You know, I helped their country by giving them so much material assistance, most of which were below market price, and some things were even given away for free."

"The Land of Earth wants to suppress them from a commercial perspective, refusing to provide them with food or selling things to them at a high price. It's not something I can decide..."

"You tell me, is any of this my fault?..." After listening to Junichiro Koizumi's words, Seishi finally understood the whole story.

The Land of Rain was too barren, and its existing conditions couldn't even support its own people. The country was weak, and naturally couldn't get any good resources. The reason why they could barely survive in recent years was entirely due to the largesse of the big countries.

Seishi also knew that it was really not Junichiro Koizumi's fault. For merchants, money is the really important thing. As long as they can sell things, everything else is easy to deal with. But the Land of Rain now has no purchasing power. If they raise the prices too high, they simply can't afford it. This is naturally unacceptable for a merchant like Junichiro Koizumi.

"Hehe...but the way you Leaf Village operate is not much better...In recent years, many of the internal affairs of the Land of Rain were also caused by you guys, right?" Junichiro Koizumi said.

After hearing his words, Seishi fell silent. Because Junichiro Koizumi's words were not wrong at all. For ninjas, their nature is to carry out missions.

Even if Seishi himself did not go to the Land of Rain to perform missions, he had heard about some things in recent years. In addition to the Land of Rain's own problems, Leaf Village and Sand Village were also factors in the continuous decline of the Land of Rain.

"I'll remind you, when you pass through the Rain Ninja Village, be careful not to let their ninja know that you are a ninja from Leaf Village, otherwise their hatred for you will be much greater than their hatred for me."

After Junichiro Koizumi finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. This was also one of the main reasons why he came to Leaf Village to hire ninjas.

Even if the refugees in the Land of Rain hate him very much, with Seishi by his side, the people of the Land of Rain will only hate him more.

If it weren't for wanting to return to the Land of Earth as soon as possible and the fact that he was already too old to bear the hardships of travel, he would have bypassed the Land of Rain long ago. "Rain Tiger Bite Technique!!" Instantly, a voice rang in Seishi's ear.

In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared outside. Without hesitation, he struck towards the direction of the sound with his blade.

At this moment, the four chief guards outside the carriage opened their mouths in shock as they saw the scene before them.

A tiger made of water vapor was filled with a light blue glow all over its body, but it was slashed open by Seishi's blade at this moment. In that instant, as they looked at the heavy rain coming from the sky, the four of them were already stunned.

Although they knew that ninjas were powerful, they had never seen a ninja who could use such powerful jutsu before. Seishi was not surprised by their reaction.

In this era, samurai had long been an obsolete existence. If it was in a more distant era, even before the Warring States period, perhaps there were still powerful samurai who could compare with ninjas.

But now, there are no longer any purely genuine samurai in this era. From the moment he saw these four people, he knew that they were completely incompetent.

At this point, the captain standing among the four people swallowed his saliva. Even at the beginning, when he knew that Junichiro Koizumi came to hire ninjas to protect him, they were still disdainful.

They believed that ninjas, who only knew how to ambush and assassinate from behind, were not worthy of being on the stage. Only samurai were the most powerful.
