Volume 1 Chapter 77: The Daming Mansion's Operation, the Team's New Mission

"Isn't it?"

Shengshu felt that Qianyue’s words were quite confusing.

Minato nodded in agreement.

He pushed Minato and asked him to make room for him.

Qianyue sat between the two of them, picked up a stick and drew a few circles on the ground.

"This is the area currently occupied by the four warring parties on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. We, Konoha, are on this side, and this side is the Sand Village, and there is the Rain Village.

The Rain Village has the largest territory, and currently it is a four-way melee with no alliance to speak of.

You hit me, I hit you, and everyone except us is an enemy."

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"Even though the military strength of Rain Village is developing rapidly, it is still just a poor small country.

Although the military strength has increased, it is only catching up with the five major ninja villages.

Besides, all the money is used to develop military strength, what about other aspects?"

"Don't you need to eat when fighting?"

"Don't you need to change your ninja tools when fighting?"

"Haven't you noticed how expensive supplies and ninja tools are nowadays?"

"Besides, the Rain Village is beating up everyone they catch now. In fact, they have begun to go downhill."

The constant loss of troops and the multiplication of material prices, Qianyue believed that these were enough to give Hanzo a headache.

As long as the battle situation continues to be stalemate, it won't be long before the Rain Village will be the first to collapse.

At that time, there will be no need for Konoha to take the initiative to seek peace talks, Hanzo will also come to Konoha.

Otherwise, Hanzo would not have defeated Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya and given them the title of Sannin.

That’s when the search for negotiation begins.

If there was no idea of ​​peace talks, Qianyue would never believe that Hanzo defeated Tsunade and the other two, and even let them go when they had almost no resistance.

It was just a title that Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru all felt disgusted with.

To others, this is a respectful title.

But in the eyes of these three people, the title of the Three Ninjas is a shame.

"So we, Konoha, will definitely win this war?"

"Nonsense, go prepare the firewood. Don't you want to eat? Or do you want to eat some dry food and ration pills? Haven't you had enough recently?"

Qianyue is not a person who messes around. After leaving the sentry post, he has not bothered with food.

They survived on dry food and ration pills.

Now that I'm back in the camp, I must not let myself down again.

"Right away!"

He had been chewing dry food until his mouth was almost dry. Now that he could finally eat something good, why would Shengshu be willing to continue chewing dry food?

After ending this topic that was none of their business, they ran out of the tent to look for firewood.

"Chizuki Yagami, Minato Namikaze, Nawaki, Lord Danzo wants to see you."

The good times did not last long. The next day after the team returned to the camp, Danzo sent someone to inform them to gather at the headquarters.

The three of them packed up their things and came to the headquarters.

"Danzo-sama."

After entering the command center, Minato walked forward consciously and saluted and greeted Danzo on behalf of the team.

"Um."

Danzo didn't care who the team leader was, as long as the process was carried out.

"I asked your team to come here today to assign you a mission."

"Please speak, Master Danzo."

When it comes to being serious and earnest, Minato is an absolute good boy, so good that you can't find any fault with him.

Danzo stood up and walked over to the map hanging on the wooden wall, and drew a line along the map with his finger.

"According to the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Rain Village recently purchased a large amount of food from the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion in the name of the Daimyo, including ninja tools purchased by Rain Village from the Craftsman Country.

I need your team to go out and cut off this supply line and destroy all the supplies."

In the previous life, this behavior would undoubtedly aid the enemy.

Just like the profiteers in ancient times.

In order to make money, they madly sold important materials such as salt and iron to the grassland.

But in the world of Naruto, this is legal and reasonable.

Because the supplies were not purchased by the Rain Village, but by the Daimyo of the Rain Country.

The reason is very legitimate, to prevent the civilians of the Rain Country from starving.

In order to purchase food and supplies, and given the complicated family relationships between the daimyo of each country, the daimyo of the Fire Country would not refuse even if they knew it was an act of aiding the enemy.

As long as the Daimyo of the Land of Rain doesn't stupidly spread the word that this batch of supplies was purchased on behalf of the Rain Village, we will be able to purchase food from the Land of Fire smoothly.

"This is simply aiding the enemy!!"

Rope Tree felt betrayed.

How could the Daimyo do this? Konoha and Amegakure are fighting to the death.

The officials in Daming Prefecture are so good that they sell food directly to the Rain Country.

If this isn’t aiding the enemy, then what is?

Even though the supplies were purchased in the name of the daimyo and the civilians of the Rain Country, they eventually ended up in the hands of the Rain Village.

"Be careful with your words!"

Danzo looked at Nawase expressionlessly and corrected his wrong words:

"This batch of supplies was purchased by the Daimyo of the Land of Rain for the people of the Land of Rain who were starving due to the war, not for the Rain Village."

"yes."

I understand the logic, but unfortunately Shengshu just won't accept it.

"So your team's mission is to destroy this batch of supplies and cut off the transportation route for the supplies."

"Isn't the strength of one squad a little too little?"

The transportation of materials is usually escorted by many ninjas. It is not easy to cut off a transportation line with only three people in a team. The most important thing is...

Qianyue doesn't want to work so hard.

Glancing at Qianyue, Danzo continued:

"With the strength of your team, it is enough to cut off this supply line and destroy all the supplies transported to the Rain Village.

The battle on the front line is intense, and Hanzo cannot personally escort the supply route."

As long as Hanzo does not go to protect the transport troops, with Qianyue's strength that can easily kill a senior ninja, it would not be difficult to cut off such a supply line.

Besides, this is just one of the routes for transporting supplies to Rain Village.

It is obviously impossible to completely cut off all supply routes of Rain Village with only a small team.

"These people are so hateful that they actually sold food to the Rain Country during the war. Don't they know that these food supplies will eventually fall into the hands of the Rain Village?"

After accepting the mission, the team left the command center. Sheng Shu couldn't help but curse, with a look of indignation on his face.

“Stay calm.”

Qianyue patted his shoulder, hugged him and asked:

"Do you know what the relationship is between the Daimyo of the Rain Country and the Daimyo of the Fire Country?"

"What is it?"

Sheng Shu's expression was stunned. He had never tried to understand this information.

If Qianyue had not read some books about daimyo prefectures, she would not have understood the complex relationships between these daimyo. For details, one can refer to the royal families of ancient European countries.

"If your cousin asks you to buy food, will you refuse?"

"Of course not....uh."

Nawaki was speechless, Minato shrugged his shoulders, turned his head away, and laughed secretly.

It was obvious that Sheng Shu had been led astray by Qianyue again.

"And the daughter of the Daimyo of the Rain Country married into the Daimyo of the Fire Country. Do you know what this means?"

“........”

Forget it, let’s not discuss this topic anymore.

Sheng Shu looked up at the sky in silence, because strictly speaking, he was also one of them, after all, his mother's maiden home was Daming Prefecture.

The complicated relationship is hard to cut and sort out, and all kinds of relatives can be tied together.

Besides, there is money to be made, so why wouldn’t the Fire Nation Daimyo make it?

What?

Is Konoha at war with the Rain Village?

Isn't that your Konoha's business?

What does it have to do with Daming Prefecture!
