The teacher guessed my plan.
Having received permission, Kurama Shimei smiled and nodded very sensibly.
Nearby, Inuzuka Sawa and Hatake Kobun, who were still excited, only came back to their senses after hearing their teacher's words.
They exchanged a glance and both scratched their heads awkwardly.
Yes, they're still on a mission!
They were so busy being happy to reunite with their friends that they forgot about this!
The sun is now setting in the west, almost completely gone.
However, the employer's convoy still had about two more hours to go to reach the agreed rest stop for the night.
This result was achieved only after everyone kept moving non-stop.
Even if the employer is willing to stop and rest so they can reunite, that's still a possibility.
Then time will be very limited!
Because they can rest in the wild at night, so can the samurai.
But an employer who is an aristocrat is definitely not an option!
As Ninja, they learned all those rules about missions when they were young!
So their previous behavior and thoughts were really somewhat inappropriate.
It's fine to be happy, it's fine to be excited, but forget about the task and the employer.
This is definitely not a good thing!
Thinking of this, I heard the teacher tell them to go now.
The two wanted to go, but felt it would be a waste to leave the teacher to watch over the entire convoy alone.
In case of unexpected problems later, the teacher will be too busy!
Sensing that the two disciples had come to their senses, and seeing their hesitant yet worried expressions, he noticed...
Senju Fukami waved his hand and said, "Go quickly!"
"I'll take care of things for you all, so you can relax and enjoy your time together."
"Of course, you'll have to finish when the convoy passes by; we still have to travel tonight."
After he finished speaking, he patted the dog's head beside him and gave a reassuring smile.
Then he gestured to the three students to hurry up, otherwise they would miss their chance!
He was so confident that he could protect the entire convoy by himself.
The reason, besides the strength of the veteran Jonin.
I had sensed that the convoy had entered the Wood Release Guard Squad's protective range.
Within this protective perimeter, the Wood Release Guard Squad has a large number of personnel.
It really couldn't be safer!
That was Guard Unit composed of elites from several races.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, came, he would have to become nourishment for this forest!
The three little ones looked at each other and reached a consensus.
Kurama Shimei then spoke up on behalf of the group, saying, "Thank you, teacher. We'll go ahead and wait for you and the convoy."
Go!
Having received a response from the teacher, Kurama Shimei and Hatake Kobun vanished from their spots in an instant and headed towards their target location.
Inuzuka Sawa first picked up the Ninja Dog before circulating his Chakra and chasing after it.
The three people and the dog had just disappeared.
A person wearing a red mask with irregular patterns appeared next to Senju Fukami in the carriage they had been in.
This sudden turn of events caused the samurai, who had been watching the carriage ahead, to instinctively draw their long swords.
But just as the sword was drawn, the leader of the caravan, who was closest to the carriage, made a gesture to the people behind him.
He was the closest, and there was no attempt to hide anything during their conversation in the carriage.
Therefore, he knew why those Ninja left.
Of course, he also harbored some resentment towards their departure.
The person who suddenly appeared also panicked for a moment.
But the Ninja in the lead didn't make any extra moves, and both of them were wearing the same style of Combat Uniform?
This discovery gave him some ideas.
"This person is probably here to fill the empty seat left by the three of them leaving."
So he immediately relayed the order to those behind him, "Don't meddle, don't move around, and keep moving."
At this gesture, the warriors behind him all sheathed their weapons.
Using the light that had not yet completely set on the horizon, they continued their journey along the winding Yamanaka road.
Sitting in the carriage, he patted Senju Fukami on the shoulder.
The person in Combat Uniform and a red patterned mask asked, "Brother, after teaching them for so long, what do you think of these three disciples?"
She frowned and glanced at her unreliable younger brother's hand resting on her shoulder.
Instead of answering, Senju Fukami asked, "So you can all just show yourselves like this now?"
He had assumed the Guard Unit would remain hidden in the shadows.
I never expected my younger brother to show up like this.
What surprised him was that the Guard Unit had made their actions public, not whether his brother had broken any rules or acted recklessly.
Although this thing can be a bit nasty at times.
But it certainly won't falter when it comes to tasks and these important matters!
Especially since this Guard Unit was led by that lord, even if my younger brother had reckless thoughts, he wouldn't have the guts to do it.
Wearing a red mask with irregular patterns, he nodded under his elder brother's gaze.
He then explained, "This area is safe and there are no flies. Those three guys are too smart; they guessed it long ago."
Upon hearing this explanation, Senju Fukami gave a knowing smile and didn't ask any further questions.
We're out here now, and there are other people around us.
I'll find out more when I get home!
So, he changed the subject and started catching up with his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for months.
"They're here!" Sensing the change in the distance, Uka Senju threw the firewood in her hand into the fire in front of her and said with a smile.
"It's been so long since I've seen these guys!"
Upon hearing Uka's suggestion, Aburame Kaun stood up from the ground and looked towards the other end of the road.
Seeing that someone had come to greet them, Uka Senju and Inuzuka Furin began to arrange the two whole roasted lambs on the fire.
They were quite lucky; their mission happened to coincide with their target's birthday banquet yesterday.
Therefore, while it was convenient to catch everything in one fell swoop, it also took away a lot of semi-finished or finished ingredients.
This sheep was intended to be used to entertain friends and serve as dinner.
This is one of the finished dishes!
Because they didn't know how long they could stay together, they discussed it briefly.
The three of them chose this fastest and tastiest item as their welcome for their meeting.
whoosh--
Several whooshing sounds rang out in succession, followed by the sound of shoes hitting the ground.
After landing, I looked at the three smiling people and the dog in front of me.
The three people and one dog, who arrived in less than a minute using Chakra to travel in a straight line, greeted each other, " Uka, Kaun, Furin, it's been a long time!"
Wow, they have whole roasted lamb!
"Woof woof woof~!"
" Shimei, Kafumi, Ze, and Black Wolf!" Aburame Kaun standing in front to greet them, quickly called out.
He gave each person a big, warm hug as he called out their name.
" Shimei, Ze-kun, Kafumi, it's been a long time!" While brushing seasoning onto the mutton, Inuzuka Furin took a moment to wave to the visitors.
