Chapter 175 It’s hard for the ninjas at the bottom

"Kakugi-kun, what do you think of Anko's performance?"

Orochimaru suddenly asked Kakugi.

Kakugi replied honestly: "The strength is very good. He is considered excellent for his age group and is good enough to be promoted to chuunin."

When he said this, Kakugi was looking at Anko's back as she left the arena.

"Haha..." Orochimaru stared at Kakumu and smiled meaningfully. He didn't look away until he saw that Kakumu was feeling a little nervous.

The next game became boring again.

Kunai and shurikens flew together, and everyone was talking trash.

Using the clone technique to confuse the enemy, there is also a talent who actually transforms into the appearance of the enemy on the opposite side in public, trying to fool around with others.

To be fair, Iwakusa, who can use illusions and has some tricks, is considered a good genin.

It's a pity that the enemy he encountered was Hongdou.

The strength of the genin who fought in these battles was too mixed. No wonder future generations would join the screening of the Death Forest.

The genin who passed the written exam but were not strong enough ended up in the Forest of Death.

It also saves you from having to irritate your eyes in full view of the audience during the battle match.

Orochimaru was still watching the game with interest.

Kakugi couldn't help but ask: "Lord Orochimaru, why can you calm down and watch such a game?"

Don't you find it annoying to your eyes?

Orochimaru was still watching the game, without looking back, and asked Kakugi directly: "Haha, Kakumu-kun thinks they are very weak?"

"Isn't it?" Kazuoki asked doubtfully.

"Haha." Orochimaru did not answer, but pointed downwards and said, "Kakugi-kun, look carefully at the ninja below."

Kakugi looked intently, and saw a ninja with empty hands below, trying his best to avoid the opponent's attack.

It's just that the empty hand can't match the opponent's kunai, and the empty-handed ninja is forced to retreat continuously.

Seeing that he was forced to the edge of the barrier, the empty-handed ninja made a fierce move, dwarfed his body, and rushed straight to the opponent's right side holding a kunai. In an instant, a piece of his scalp was cut off by the opponent.

But the empty-handed ninja didn't say a word, took the opportunity to twist the opponent's right arm, opened his mouth and bit the opponent's right hand hard.

"what!"

The opponent suffered pain and the kunai fell. The empty-handed ninja quickly picked it up and placed the kunai across the opponent's neck.

"What do you think, Kadomu-kun?" Orochimaru watched the game intently and asked Kadomu quietly.

Kakugi replied: "A very resilient ninja, ruthless and decisive, but unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that the strength is so poor?" Orochimaru smiled softly: "Then are you willing to support such a ninja? Kadaki-kun."

Kadomu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I can't help."

Kakugi keenly captured the key words in Orochimaru's words: such a ninja.

There are many low-level ninjas like empty-handed ninjas in Konoha, and they can't help them.

The only way to solve this problem is to work hard on the system so that all low-level civilian ninjas have the opportunity to be exposed to more ninjutsu.

"Haha, what an unexpected answer." Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Do you know how his kunai was broken, Kakugi-kun?"

Without waiting for Kazugi's answer, Orochimaru continued: "It was cut off by his opponent. The opponent did not have the skill to attach chakra to the weapon. It only took a few collisions between the ninja tools and it was broken."

"At the beginning, the ninja had the opportunity to grab another kunai and continue fighting, but he didn't do it. Kadouki-kun, do you think why?"

Kadomu remained silent, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Orochimaru answered for Kazugi: "Because he doesn't have a second kunai at all."

"The average reward for a D-level mission is five thousand taels. The village takes away two thousand taels, the teacher who leads the team takes away one thousand five hundred taels, and the three genin only get five hundred taels."

"D-level missions cannot be done every day. Relations between various countries in the ninja world are so tense now. There are not many clients who have spare money to entrust D-level missions. Moreover, Konoha can almost only receive requests from the Land of Fire. The tasks and the amount of tasks have been greatly reduced.”

"At the same time, the village continues to expand its military and prepare for war, and the number of genin has increased significantly."

"And compared with peacetime, those who are willing to entrust D-level tasks with chores now often have very tedious work content. It is normal to complete smelly and tiring D-level tasks in three or four days. But now the amount of tasks, It’s good for an ordinary genin to receive one D-rank mission a week.”

Kakugi looked solemn, having understood Orochimaru's words.

The "hotbed" used by the village to train genin was no longer enough to support the huge number of genin brought about by the expansion of the army.

"Because of the war, the price of a kunai in the village is now as high as 3,000 taels. I think Mr. Kakugi has never worried about not being able to afford a kunai, haha..."

Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth and smiled with unknown meaning.

Kazuoki was silent, he now knew the reason why the empty-handed ninja was empty-handed.

He certainly never worried about not being able to afford a kunai, not even his companions.

Even in high-intensity battles, Kakugi's kunai and shurikens are like spoilers.

"What should I do if I can't afford a kunai? I have to sharpen the old kunai again and again, use it again and again, until one day it breaks in the battle, haha..."

Orochimaru looked at the battle scene below, chuckled and shook his head.

Although the bare-handed ninja below subdued his opponent, both of his teammates failed, and the other team was ultimately declared the winner.

The empty-handed ninja left with a dejected expression. After the failure, he could not be promoted to chunin, and his only ninja tool was damaged. The next step was to save money and buy new kunai, and to take on more missions.

There are only so many tasks, so where can you take on as many as you want?

Orochimaru smiled faintly, his words full of regret: "The next fate of this ninja is to take risks and take C-level missions that may be dangerous at any time, or go directly to the battlefield. Maybe next time we see him, It was already a corpse lying cold on the ground."

Kakugi nodded silently, understanding the hidden meaning of Orochimaru's words.

There are not enough points for D-level missions. A large number of genin take the risk of taking higher C-level missions without enough experience. However, C-level missions often take longer, and the rewards obtained on a daily basis are not better than D-level missions. Too many and these genin are still poor.

Moreover, a C-level mission during the war may become a B-level mission at any time.

Other than that, you can only go to the battlefield and give it a try. That's it, there are still options.

More civilian genin actually have no choice at all. A piece of notice can force you to rush to the battlefield.

With such a lack of ninja tools and inexperience, not everyone can survive whether it is a C-level mission or a battlefield.

"It's hard for the ninjas at the bottom..." Kazuoki couldn't help but lamented and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.
