Chapter 107 The truth about the employer
When Abe Hiroshi's contact person appears, it will be a strangulation trap for their Konoha team.
Not only Kakugi thinks so, but others in the team also think so.
Combining all kinds of intelligence, Abe Hiroshi's suspicions are already full.
In particular, Abe Hiroshi has been secretive about the "customers" who will receive his goods.
Now Team C is just waiting for the enemy to appear, follow the clues and pick the fruits of victory.
The convoy was moving slowly and seemed calm.
Kakugi keenly noticed that the speed of the convoy was deliberately slowed down.
It was not until near dusk that the convoy moved to a place called Liutori Mountain.
Liutori Mountain is not a famous mountain or river, it is just a small hill more than 100 meters high.
Going around the foot of the mountain, there is the main road to Gil City. The convoy just moves step by step, and half a day is enough to arrive.
Abe Hiroshi has been uneasy since he entered the country of Sichuan. The closer he gets to his destination, the more nervous and impatient he becomes.
Especially when he arrived at the foot of Mount Rokutori, Kazuoki clearly saw large drops of sweat flowing down his face.
You can still vaguely hear mutterings such as "Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"What are you afraid of, Boss Abe?"
Lei Hu looked "kind" and put his arm around Abe's shoulders.
"Ah, nothing, nothing..."
Abe Hiroshi wiped his sweat and was already a little incoherent.
"Don't worry, Boss Abe. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, our team will deliver your goods to the place."
Lei Hu assured with "understanding" and still looked "kind".
"Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay..." Abe Hiroshi nodded mindlessly.
After a while, another sentence came out:
"Well, Captain Hinata, let's just rest nearby today. It's getting late now..."
"Okay, no problem!" Lei Hu agreed without hesitation. He also wanted to see what other tricks Abe Hiroshi had.
Seeing Lei Hu's promise, Abe Hiroshi calmed down for a moment and then gave the order.
A group of people quickly parked the trucks, tied up the mules, and set up tents.
After simply eating some dry food, the workers went back to rest.
Abe Hiroshi was left pacing back and forth impatiently outside the tent.
"Boss Abe, has the person you were waiting for not arrived yet?"
"Yeah, why are you so slow this time? It was clearly agreed...ah!"
The uneasy Abe Hiroshi followed the question and was startled when he saw Thunder Tiger next to him.
Lei Hu smiled and looked at Hiroshi Abe with a "kind" expression. Behind him, there were three other people standing, Kadomu.
"Alas... alas! Now that it has happened, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Abe Hiroshi sat down on the ground with an annoyed look on his face.
"I have been walking this trade route for more than half a year. The end point is indeed Gil City, but in fact, every time I go to the border of Kawa Country near Gil City, people from there are sent to trade with me.
In more than half a year, I have only been to Gill City once. I was afraid that if I contacted other ninja organizations privately, I would be punished by the village, so I always said it was Gil City...
Then I said that the caravan from Gill City would come to pick up the goods in advance, and the Konoha team that escorted me out was quite happy to see that they could travel less and complete the task ahead of schedule..."
More than half a year, it is basically consistent with the time when the village intelligence was leaked.
Lei Hu asked keenly: "Over there? Boss Abe, who is the ninja organization you are trading with? Also, why did you choose to trade at the border?"
"They say that Mount Rokutori is not safe. There are many rebel ninjas from Amegakure here. They are worried about my safety..."
Abe Hiroshi said eloquently, and when he saw Lei Hu's eyes gradually becoming dangerous, he was immediately startled.
"Ah, yes, yes, there is a ninja organization over there. They always exchange specialties from the Land of Rain for goods with me, and they also give me some ninjutsu scrolls and so on..."
Jiaomu nodded slightly. It seems that the "gift" ninjutsu scrolls are where the profit lies.
"I'm not a ninja, and I don't know much about it, but every time I was given a ninjutsu scroll, I could sell it for a higher price in Konoha, so the transaction continued."
"Those people are all ninjas, but they keep talking about no bloodshed and no conflict, which sounds unreliable..."
"If any stray ninja comes down from Mount Rokutori, you must protect me, Captain Hinata..."
Thunder Tiger glared at Abe Hiroshi and said impatiently: "What is the name of this ninja organization you are talking about? Amegakure? Or Sunagakure? Iwagakure?"
The more Lei Hu listened, the more irritated he became.
Judging from Abe Hiroshi's words, he really wasn't a spy. There was a high possibility that he was being used.
Especially now that his consignee hasn't come yet, and there's a good chance he won't come either.
In that case, wouldn't this trip be in vain?
"I, how dare I contact those big villages? The organization I contacted is called Xiao..."
dawn!
When Kazuoki heard the name, he was suddenly startled.
Now the three members of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko and Konan, are at least elite jounin level.
Although Nagato has not yet darkened, and his samsara eye is not proficient enough, if he really wants to make Nagato anxious and open it up, the few materials of Team C are simply not enough to defeat him.
Is ANBU's first mission such a high-end game?
I just hope that those who come to support Abe Hiroshi are Wei Tuo Tianzhu and Dafo...
Besides, Akatsuki is still a peaceful organization now, so it may be able to solve problems peacefully...
Abe Kan swallowed, looked at Lei Hu nervously, and said:
"Captain Hinata, you are not an ordinary Konoha team, right?"
Abe Hiroshi wasn't stupid either. He had already noticed something from Lei Hu's insinuations and questioning along the way.
"I have never sent contraband. They asked me to send some food and ninja tools. I have only dared to sell daily necessities..."
Leihu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Abe Hiroshi, turned his face and shouted: "Kusujiro, come here and try him."
Fox Jiro is the pseudonym Weihu adopted for this operation.
Weihu stepped forward silently, held Abe Kuan's head with both hands, and said with a ferocious smile: "Look into my eyes, Boss Abe!"
Abe Hiroshi was so frightened that he shook his head desperately, but he still fell into the illusion instantly.
After a while, Weihu began to interrogate Abe Hiroshi.
Abe Hiroshi's eyes were dull, and he answered Weihu's questions without hiding anything.
After interrogating for a while, Abe Hiroshi answered all the questions Weihu asked, and Weihu's face became darker and darker.
Weihu clenched her fists and wanted to give Hiroshi Abe a blow, but he still didn't reach out. It was just that the illusion was not solved, so he sat aside bitterly.
Lei Hu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes rolled to the sky; Jia Ma's face was not good-looking either.
According to the results of the interrogation, this trip was probably in vain.
Abe Hiroshi was not a spy, but an ordinary businessman who was being used; his employer was not a hostile ninja village, but a small unknown ninja organization.
This unknown small ninja organization is unknown in the ninja world. It is short-lived and fleeting.
If the Akatsuki organization is still there, we can follow this line and investigate it carefully.
