The journey...or not?

...

...

The customer is a man, 63 years old, which is quite a lot for this world.

A full six years older than the 3rd Hokage

His name is Hiroaki Yamamoto

He is a famous businessman, his main product is silk

Still, silk makes good clothes, and by the standards of this world, they are of the highest quality

They are very popular among the nobles of the Fire Country

He has his own security, but apparently he decided to take a couple more people just in case

Hmm, apparently he decided to meet one of his customers there

Or open a branch?

...

Not counting Hiroaki himself there are 16 of us

9 sumarai guards? Something like that

And 3 mercenaries including me

Hiroaki's two assistants and two children, apparently these are his grandchildren

I think you expected that the two children are a boy and a girl? As usual it happens

But no, just two little freaks, 8 and 10 years old.

What about the reward?

He pays the three of us depending on how we were able to protect him... well, essentially depending on our contribution

These 10 million will be divided between us

...

Not far from the borders of the country of earth and the country of grass, the group encountered a large ambush of 30 people

Before this, there were several bandits and ambushes, but ordinary guards could deal with them, so Toji and Mercenaries did not interfere

But this time...there are a couple of jounin here

More precisely, two jounin and three chunin

The hired "Samurai" will be able to cope with the chunin, but the jounin are a big problem for them

Because Toji and the Mercenaries™ took it upon themselves

While two female mercenaries (apparently sisters) helped the guards and protected Hiroaki

The worm has already wrapped itself around him

Toji took out a playful cloud

One of the Jounin made hand seals

-Earth Release: Earth Bullets

He began to spit out stones like bullets that gradually became larger

The second jounin made hand seals

-Earth element: earth collapse

The ground in front of Toji collapsed

Toji swung a playful cloud, knocking down stone bullets

Then he leaned slightly

And jumped

Toji seemed to disappear

But he immediately appeared in front of the Jounin who used stone bullets to kick him in the stomach

He spat out something and flew away

Touji then grabbed the second jounin's stone fist

And he spun the game cloud and hit it with the outer section

The blow hit me in the neck

The jounin died after the blow

-They're kind of weak. Whatever they were called, and yes, special jounins

Toji was about to go after the first one, but

-I didn't expect that someone of jounin level would be on such a Mission. I thought I could get this over with quickly and easily.

The voice of the first jounin or Yuta Kishimaru was heard

He stood near the tree that Toji sent him flying

He didn't look injured

In his hands were two daggers

They both flashed blue and lightning began to run through them

-In that case, I'll have to give it my all.

Toji smiled and took a position that was comfortable for him

-So many words

Toji disappeared and reappeared in front of Yuta but this time he was beating with a playful cloud

Yuta blocked the playful cloud with one dagger but underestimated this weapon and was thrown back

-What power, are you, a taijutsu ninja?

Having said this, he made several hand seals and earthen walls appeared around him.

They immediately collapsed as Toji had already attacked, which Yuta foresaw.

Then he swung his hand and hit him in the stomach

But Toji caught his hand and squeezed

Yuta wanted to hit with his second hand, but Toji had already swung a playful cloud

Yuta stopped his attack and kneed Touji in the stomach and then blocked the playful cloud with his dagger.

He succeeded, but the dagger flew out of his hand

Toji didn't let go of his hand

He grabbed with his other hand and threw Yuta over his shoulder

Yuta hit the ground hard but immediately rolled to the other side.

'Crack'

Large and small cracks have spread where he was just now.

He quickly stood up and jumped away

But

The chain hit his leg and wrapped around his leg

The end of a chain of a thousand miles stretched from the worm's mouth

Toji held the chain with one hand and pulled it towards himself

Utah, captured by the chain, quickly made hand seals

-Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire

Toji began to dodge the fiery beams, but still there were a lot of them and some of them hit him, burning him

Toji tightened his grip on the chain and swung it, sending Yuta flying into a nearby rock.

-'Kha'

Yuta spat out blood

Then Touji pulled the chain towards himself

Yuta was already at Toji's

Toji grabbed him by the shoulders until he recovered from the shock.

And hit his head

Yuta passed out badly injured

On the other hand, Toji was a little tired and had a couple of burns and bruises

-Hehe it was clearly much more interesting than that guy. It's a pity that I couldn't have a good fight with that red-eyed freak

It seemed like a very long time, but in reality only a few minutes passed.

His "comrades" had already finished but did not interfere, seeing that he could cope on his own

...

When Yuta woke up he was "politely asked" who sent him

Toji didn't listen because Hiroaki's affairs didn't concern him, well, besides the mission, of course.

...

This world clearly had more to offer

For example that red-eyed freak

I think we would have a decent fight

I wonder what these kage are like

Either way I'll find out soon enough

I have been in this world for more than 9 months

We walked through the land of earth and grass and finally we are on the outskirts of the land of fire

Our pace and passes in cities and in nature are learning (after all, there are children and old people there, they are clearly not capable of a long journey even if they are sitting in a carriage)

The old man's children did not come near me, apparently they were afraid of me

But they were also delighted

Apparently they saw me fight

It doesn't matter anyway

There were several more ambushes this month, but apparently they no longer have the resources because these "enemies" were so weak that even ordinary guards could easily cope

I only intervened when there were too many of them.

Mostly just jumping into the crowd waving a playful cloud

I think we will reach Konoha in about two months?

I didn't waste this time

I started training again

I haven't stopped before, but not as intensely anymore.

Now I've increased the intensity even more

I'm almost at my peak

I'll have to overcome it soon

Hehe

I don't think it will take three months

End of chapter

So far, the enemies haven't caused any particular problems, but the fur is just "extras"

By the way, to the comments, I made a very bad sketch, but that's how it is

Their path will be shown there

The red dot is where they started
