Volume 1, Chapter 108: I am not afraid of open spears, but I am afraid of hidden arrows
The next day, Tsunade left the camp with her men early in the morning.
She needed to lead people to the front-line positions for support, and the Qianyue team also welcomed the long-awaited operational mission of transporting supplies.
"Currently, the camp is short of manpower, and most of the ninjas have been sent to the front. Team Qianyue will lead three Chunin teams to form a supply transport squadron, responsible for delivering supplies to the front line."
Danzo took out the mission scroll and gave it to Chizuki instead of Minato who was the diplomat of the team.
At the same time, a line was drawn on the map. This was the route the team transporting supplies needed to take.
Even though there were sealing scrolls, except for some medical supplies and ninja tools, everything else needed to be transported by carriage.
This is why it is necessary to form a transport squadron.
Three Chunin teams and the Chizuki team were combined together. Their mission was not to fight, but to transport things.
Danzo looked serious as he pointed at the transport route the team needed to take.
"The situation in the Rain Country is currently in chaos, and many ninjas from the Iwagakure have retreated to guard against an attack from the Kumogakure.
The Sand Village is keeping an eye on us, so your team has a heavy task ahead of them."
As Danzo spoke, his eyes fell on Chiyue. In theory, such a transport squadron would need to be led by a powerful jonin.
Unfortunately, most of the senior ninjas in the camp are on the front lines, and the remaining ones need to stay behind to protect the camp.
Since he couldn't spare any manpower, Danzo had no choice but to hand over the task to Team Chiyue.
It just so happens that Qianyue has strength comparable to that of a jonin, so he is in charge of the squadron to transport supplies to the front-line positions.
"So we need to be at risk of enemy attack at any time?"
If Danzo hadn't said this, Chitsuki would definitely suspect that he was trying to trick her.
But everything is laid out in the open, so there is no suspicion of deliberate deception.
It is precisely during this period when high-end combat power is lacking, and Danzo will not do anything to Qianyue at this critical period.
This mission is really a normal transportation mission.
"Yes, so I let your team Chizuki lead the other three Chunin teams."
Danzo said:
"Yagami Chizuki, although you have not been tested yet, judging from your battle record, you have the strength to rival a jonin, or even stronger, so you need to lead this team well."
Nodding, Qianyue took the task scroll.
As long as he is not being tricked on purpose, Qianyue doesn't care about anything else.
He is not afraid of open enemies, but he is afraid of being stabbed in the back by his own people.
Qianyue accepted the task, and Danzo nodded with satisfaction:
"These three people are the three Chunin captains who will cooperate with you in this operation. Please contact them first and get familiar with the lineup and coordination between the teams."
The group left the command center.
The three Chunin captains took the initiative to greet Qianyue and introduced her:
"Captain, my name is Shan Mingyue."
"Saro-chan."
"Shimura Mizuki."
After the three chunin captains introduced themselves, Qianyue looked at the last one in surprise:
"Are you from the Shimura clan?"
"Yes, Captain."
Shimura Mizuki is no stranger to Chitsuki. Because of Shimura Hideyoshi, the Shimura clan has become a joke.
Chitose was often laughed at by other families, which made the Shimura clan very dissatisfied with Chitose.
Shimura Mizuki also had the same idea at first.
After learning about Qianyue's series of achievements, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Even if her ninja rank was not promoted, Qianyue could at least be regarded as a jonin.
Why would a mere Chunin like him get involved in the conflict between the Jonins?
If I offend Qianyue and she gives me a hard time, I will be in trouble.
Not only will you be unlucky yourself, but you will also drag down other teammates.
Besides, he and Shimura Hidetoshi are from the same family and are not familiar with each other. Why should he offend Qianyue for Shimura Hidetoshi?
"Very good, let your teammates gather, we will meet at the camp gate in an hour."
It can be seen that the other party does not have the resentment and dissatisfaction that most of the Shimura clan have towards him.
No matter what the reason is, as long as Shimura Mizuki doesn't cause trouble for her, obeys her orders and completes her task, Chitsuki will not deliberately target him.
"yes!"
The three chunin captains dispersed and gathered their teams.
Rope Tree sighed:
"I didn't expect that our team could become the leader of a squadron."
Sheng Shu was very emotional about this.
Minato glanced at him and said:
"We can receive such a mission because Qianyue has the strength of a jonin, or even stronger than a jonin. Otherwise, we don't know where we would be doing odd jobs."
“........”
If you don't destroy my stage, will you die?
You, the sun, do not warm people's hearts at all, but instead hurt them.
"sun........"
"roll!!"
Watching Naoki and Minato fighting with each other, Qianyue sat aside and watched the show happily.
Everything that needed to be collected had already been packed up, and we could set off once the three teams had assembled.
Soon, the team assembled, all the supplies were loaded onto the carriages, and the team escorted the convoy out of the camp.
In an inconspicuous place in the camp, Danzo watched the convoy disappear in the rain, and the gen ninja couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, is it really reliable to entrust the mission to the Qianyue team? They are still children."
"The child in your eyes has the ability to easily kill a jonin. If someone helps recommend and write an application, Yagami Chizuki will definitely pass the jonin exam. Don't judge everything by age."
Danzo said calmly:
"What are the results of the investigation at Kusagakure?"
The Root Ninja replied respectfully:
"In reply to your Excellency, we have found three members of the Uzumaki clan. We are just waiting for your order to start the rescue operation immediately."
"Save him."
Holding an umbrella, Danzo slowly walked towards the command center.
"There's already one Uzumaki Nami, so there's no need to worry about having more. It's just one Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he can't turn the world upside down."
"Things that belong to Konoha must not fall into the hands of other villages, even if Konoha doesn't want them."
Looking up in the direction of the Iwagakure, Danzo sneered.
Ohnoki, you want the perfect Jinchūriki?
You won't succeed.
If Ōnoki hadn't gotten involved, Danzo wouldn't have cared even if he knew that there were remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the Kusagakure Village.
Konoha already has a new Jinchūriki, and unless there are any unexpected events, Kushina will be able to hold the Nine-Tails steady for at least a few decades.
There is no need to go to great lengths to find a new Jinchūriki.
But Ōnoki's interference made Danzo feel that the remnants of the Uzumaki clan should not be allowed to be obtained by the Iwagakure.
So he decisively asked the Root people to investigate, rescue him, and send him back to Konoha.
Anyway, Qianyue and the others have already sent back one Uzumaki Naiming, so sending a few more will not affect the overall situation.
Besides, the people rescued are all children. Once these children take root in Konoha and live there for a long time, they will naturally develop a sense of belonging to Konoha.
As for adults, they are not qualified to be rescued by Konoha.
On the road, three teams of Chunin pushed the carriages forward with great effort. In the Rain Country where mud was everywhere, the transportation of supplies was very difficult.
