Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 3 Familiar Strangers

Next to the main entrance of Konoha Village, Xia Shu looked at the team escorting the supplies away, and did not retract his eyes until the opponent completely disappeared at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Fighting war is the economy, occupying the richest and fertile region of the Ninja World. The country of fire has always been the country with the strongest economic strength. This is also the deep background of Konoha’s one enemy three or even one enemy four.

Fire country daimyo and Konoha have always been in harmony. Ninja Village is generally unable to undertake tasks to obtain resources during the war. Naturally, it needs financial support from the fire country. At this point, the support of the fire country daimyo is pretty good. Vigorous.

The two elders in charge of the finances of the Yushen Fan also had a strong control over logistics. Now a transport team carrying supplies and supplies is set up to go to the country of the river.

The country of Kawa is bordered by the country of wind, and neighbors with the country of fire, but a weak country has no diplomacy. At this moment, the country of Kawa has almost become the back camp of the ninja army of Konoha Village. Of course, it must have signed the “Covenant” on the bright side. Book” or something similar.

The terrain of the country of Kawakuni has many dangerous mountains and rivers, and it belongs to the boundary of advancing, retreating and defending. However, as the war between Konoha and Sand Shinobi began, this geographical advantage, which was originally used as a guarantee, was never used from beginning to end, even if Sand Shinobi has Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest wind shadow, as well as Ebizō and Chiyo. It is still difficult to protect itself under Konoha’s fierce offensive. If you want to win, it is probably only a dangerous move.

Of course, for Xia Shu, there is no need to pay attention to these major international events, mainly because they are not qualified.

At this moment, two figures appeared from the street and walked straight after scanning a circle.

“coming.”

The young Chūnin next to him whispered, and Xia Shu immediately cheered up.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, running towards each other.

“Go on Kuno Black Rain Ginseng!”

The little boy stepped on the light pole and turned over in a pretending manner, with a cool and authentic tone.

“Haha! Genin Maruxoshi Kosuke.”

Genin, the middle-aged man with his left eye bandaged, introduced himself gently.

“Well, I am the captain of this mission, Chūnin Aoki Gennosuke.”

The young Chūnin looked at the middle-aged Genin, who was carrying a large pot, as if preparing for a picnic in surprise, and saw that his face was slightly old, as if he had passed the peak period of a ninja. Under normal circumstances, he was not yet his age. Most of those who are promoted to Chūnin will choose to retire and do some clerical work, but this one is still a ninja, which is really weird.

At the same time, hearing the middle-aged Genin self-reported his name, Xia Shu’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink, and her heart writhed for a while, and quickly suppressed her mood to keep the calmness on her face.

‘Ten Thousand Years Genin! Konoha is the strongest Genin! ’

In front of him, Marusoshi Kosuke, with his left eye injured, is the owner of these two titles. He is a man recognized by Second Hokage, Third Hokage, and the future Fourth Hokage.

Even though he insists on the name of Genin for life, he has the strength of elite Jōnin, good at Konoha Ryuu swordsmanship, Water Style ninjutsu and illusion.

“Hey! What’s your name? I’ve declared myself, so rude!”

The neglected cool boy Kurano Heiyu said angrily with a puffed face.

“Matsuzaki Natsuki.”

Being interrupted by her thoughts, Xia Shu looked at her face as usual and smiled.

He has a polite expression, his voice is light and indifferent, and he feels not far away from others.

“Yeah! Very good, my boss, Kuno Black Rain, will cover you!”

Hisano Heiyu raised his chin slightly, and said a little arrogantly.

‘Funny little guy. ’

Xia Shu thought so in her heart.

“Alright! Now that the team has gathered, let me explain the purpose of this mission!”

The words of Gennosuke Aoki attracted the attention of three Genin.

“This mission is a patrol and defensive mission. Next, we will go to the border of the country of fire, join the local garrison troops, and perform a three-month border defense mission.”

The young Chūnin spoke concisely, with a cheerful and cheerful expression, and smiled: “This mission is not difficult. It counts as a C-level mission. However, the proportion of missions in wartime will be increased. Then even Genin can easily improve his life. , This is a small benefit, right?”

“Great! Then I can move out of the house so that my sister doesn’t have to sleep in the closet anymore, hahaha! Wait until I become Chūnin, or even Jōnin! Maybe I can still buy a house!”

Hisano Heiyu cheered excitedly first, pretending to be handsome and ruthless to break the power in a second.

“Hehe! That’s very likely Yo! Come on, boy!”

Gennosuke Aoki didn’t even have the idea of ​​attacking, even if it was not easy for a ninja to advance.

Unlike the three Genins, he, as the team leader to carry out the next task of defending the border, naturally knew the information of the three subordinates in advance.

Among them, Furusuke’s information is so simple that he is a little puzzled. Matsuzaki Natsuki is a war orphan, but the root is Masaaki. Both parents are ninjas in the village. They live on inheritance. Although they are a little bit tight, they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. .

Only Kurano Kuroyu is a pure civilian background, his parents are present and there is a younger sister in the family. Because he was trained as a ninja and lived a tight life, because of similar experiences and the mission’s risk is indeed very low. , He couldn’t bear to say some cruel words of shock.

“Um!”

Kuno Heiyu grinned and pulled out an innocent smile, seeming to believe it.

Watching this scene, Xia Shu could not help but feel fortunate while silent. The pure adjectives of war crimes were cruel and ruthless. The so-called justice and injustice were meaningless to the people in it.

He has no liking for war, even if a famous dung stick once said: Chaos is an ascending ladder.

People in the age of peace, shouting slogans and beating war songs on the keyboard are always the best, but when it comes to reality…

Forget the analysis conclusions that I saw there. On the battlefield, 70% of the soldiers will not take the initiative to pull the trigger. No matter how great the risk, the weak will always shrink back in the face of fear.

Xia Shu didn’t know if he would be like that. Before facing such a situation, no one dared to say firmly that he was not afraid of death, and he was the same.

However, the probability of this mission falling into that situation is not high, which made him feel fortunate and could not help but laugh at himself.

‘Fear of death should be the nature of any life. ’

He was doing so in his heart to comfort himself.

“Okay, let’s go!”

Aoki Gennosuke handed in the documents for leaving the village, and then waved his hand.

“Yes!”

The three Genin nodded their heads, and then the team started.
