Chapter 10 Conspiracy

In the evening, Konoha returned to the camp as the victorious side after the battle. The remaining ninjas had already heard the news of victory, so they naturally celebrated loudly. The supreme commander Uchiha Kagami accepted the flattery of everyone with a smile on his face. In a good mood, he waved his hand and said, "Add more food!" So there was smoke from cooking in the camp, chickens and sheep were slaughtered everywhere, and there was a commotion.

To be honest, Yeshan hasn't eaten fresh meat for a long time. As the most powerful ninja village, Konohagakure has a much better supply of medicines, food, ninja tools and other necessities than other ninja villages, but it has always been criticized by ninjas for its meat supply. The life of licking blood on the edge of a knife requires ninjas to vent, and at that time cigarettes were not popular, and there were no other entertainment methods in the camp, which led to many psychologically fragile ninjas suffering from severe anxiety disorders, and even collective suicides.

However, the transportation conditions in this world are very backward. Chakra, as the best energy, has only been used to kill enemies quickly and efficiently in the past thousand years, and has made no achievements in promoting the development of productivity.

Soon, it was completely dark, and Team Chen got the celebratory dinner for tonight. The dinner was very sumptuous, and what surprised Ye Shan was that there was wine! Although it was just a small cup, not enough to get drunk, but after so many years of battlefield meals, Ye Shan had never seen a commander serve wine. The three prohibitions of ninjas were not a joke, drinking on the battlefield was a serious crime!

Thinking of this, Ye Shan felt that Commander Uchiha Jing was a little too proud.

Nothing happened that night. Before dawn the next day, Ye Shan walked out of the tent, took a quick rest, and began his daily practice. During the days on the battlefield, as long as there was no combat mission, Ye Shan would practice every day. Although he could not practice as freely as he did in the village, he still understood the principle of accumulating little by little.

After four or five days, new tasks were assigned.

..........

Not far from the Konoha camp, Ye Shan spread the oilcloth map on a stone and discussed this mission with Yamashiro Tatsu and Yamanaka Yuura. This mission was quite dangerous and was an A-level mission. Perhaps due to the shortage of manpower, no Jonin team was sent out, and it was handed over to a Chunin team like Ye Shan to complete.

The purpose of this mission is to go to the northwest of the Rain Country to retrieve the intelligence placed by our spies and bring it back to the camp. On the map, the Konoha camp is in the east, which means that the Yeshan team needs to cross most of the Rain Country. The current Rain Country is extremely complex and the forces of various countries are intertwined, making it very difficult to complete the mission. Such a difficult mission not only tests the team's combat capabilities, but also tests its infiltration and survival capabilities. The Yeshan team, which lacks medical ninjas, lacks these.

When Ye Shan thought of the undisguised satisfaction on Sarutobi Hinata's face, he became furious. This grudge was completely settled!

"Is the mission situation clear?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Ye Shan glanced at the two of them and nodded with satisfaction. At least in this team, he had absolute say.

"set off!"

'Brush brush'

The three of them jumped onto the branches and quickly disappeared in the rain.

.........

In the northwest of the Land of Rain, the rainfall here is relatively low compared to other places in the country, and the flat land has become a perfect place to grow rice. Originally belonging to the granary of the Hidden Rain Village, this place changed hands two months ago, and a group of ninjas dressed in desert style became the new owners, from the Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Wind!

Unlike other countries, the vast majority of the territory of the Wind Country is desert. Not to mention the rich Fire Country, even the Earth Country on the plateau is richer in resources. The lack of resources has caused the ninjas of the Sand Village to be extremely fierce and ruthless in battle, using vicious means and using every possible means.

Nearly forty years have passed since the first Hokage established the one-country-one-village system and ended the Warring States Period, and the Sand Village has been poor for forty years. The poverty of the land gave the Third Kazekage a headache, and he was extremely eager to have land that could produce food on a large scale. The chaotic situation in the Rain Country gave him an opportunity. After unexpectedly defeating the Rain Ninja, he naturally occupied the only food production area in the Rain Country.

The purpose of this war is to completely occupy this land and put the mark of the Kingdom of Wind on it. Over the past few decades, the family concept inherited from the Warring States period has gradually evolved into the idea of ​​family and country, which makes it relatively easy to conquer a country, but very difficult to occupy a country. Supported by the belief of defending the country and defending the territory, various harassment and destruction have never stopped; and other ninja villages will not sit idly by and watch a country become stronger, and will inevitably interfere. As early as before the dispatch of troops, the third generation of Kazekage thought of the troubles that this move would bring, but driven by greed, he still launched this war. The defeat of the Hidden Rock Village gave him, who has a keen political sense, a great opportunity.

A Sand Village Anbu received a secret letter from the Third Kazekage, and his mission was to bring the letter to the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village.

The Third Kazekage looked at the Anbu ninja half-kneeling in front of him. Although he was confident in his ability, he still ordered: "No matter what, do not let the letter fall into the hands of other ninjas, understand?"

"Yes!"

After saying that, the Sand Village Anbu slowly sank into the ground and disappeared into the tent.

The Third Kazekage held his chin with both hands, staring at the candlelight and lost in thought...

In a dense forest in the Land of Rain, two figures jumped on tree branches and advanced. The heavy rain covered the sound of the branches shaking, greatly facilitating their infiltration. The two were Ye Shan and Yamanaka Yuura, who were on a mission. As for Yamashiro Tatsu, the steady Ye Shan left him hanging about 500 meters behind the team.

Looking up at the sky, Ye Shan estimated the time in his mind, made a few gestures, and slowly stopped. This is the central part of the Rain Country, which is far beyond the coverage of Konoha and belongs to a no man's land. In the past few days, Ye Shan's team has been advancing while maintaining good condition, and the movement is very slow. Chen and Yu Luo have no objection to this, but are glad that their captain is steady. They have seen many young captains who are greedy for merit and reckless, resulting in the loss of team members.

Ye Shan had his own plans. He was able to survive the cruel battlefield and become a team leader because of three things: first, he was steady, second, he was still steady, and third, he was still steady! The mission was for the village, and his life was his own. Why would he risk his life for the pitiful monthly subsidy? He didn't want to be a Hokage. As the saying goes, it's always right to be steady in everything.

"Chen sets up warning traps, You Luo builds a tree hole for resting, and I'll go find something to eat." After Ye Shan gave a simple instruction, the three of them dispersed and each went to complete a task that they were extremely familiar with.

Soon, a simple but fully functional temporary camp was built. The three of them hid in a spacious tree hole and prepared for today's dinner.

The standard dry food of Konohagakure during the war tasted terrible. It was okay to satisfy hunger occasionally, but if they really had to eat it every day, no one could stand it. After running for a long time and getting wet in the rain, the three of them consumed a lot of energy. If they couldn't eat some hot food to replenish it, they would catch a cold and have a fever in a few days. But eating hot food requires making a fire, which will produce smoke and easily expose the position. But Ye Shan said that as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems, and don't take fire escape as fire.

"Fire Style: Pot-burning Small Flame Technique!"

A thin flame shot out from Ye Shan's mouth and landed at the bottom of the pot, slowly heating it up. When the pot was boiling, Ye Shan took out the seasoning bottle and shook some in. High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking methods, and just like that, dinner for the three of them was ready.

After dinner, as usual, Yu Luo went out and found a secluded place to hide. She was in charge of the first shift on guard.

After seeing Yamanaka Yuura leave, Yamashiro Tatsuya twisted his hips and said, "Captain, do you really want to complete the mission?"

Ye Shan glanced at him, pondered for a few seconds and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Of course it's just one word - drag."

"drag?"

"Well, let's slow down the speed of action by half and delay until there is no risk before going to get the intelligence. God knows if there is an ambush. I heard that Yuyin is organizing a counterattack recently. Wouldn't it be better to wait until then?" After the topic was opened, Shancheng Chen had no more concerns and told the plan all at once.

Such a serious violation of the ninja mission regulations would only be heard by Yeshan. Otherwise, if it were told to other captains with a strong sense of honor, they would probably be accused of being cowardly.

After careful consideration, Ye Shan still shook his head. He was not sure whether there was an ambush from the Sand Ninja, but he was 70% sure that the narrow-minded Sarutobi Karakata had already set a trap, waiting for him to fall into it. Such as: the task took too long to complete, suspected of colluding with enemy ninjas to leak information, etc., he just said it without any evidence. By then, even if he completed the task, he would have no way to defend himself. He was insignificant and had no foundation, so he didn't dare to gamble. The task had to be completed on schedule, otherwise it would be difficult to explain. Ye Shan, who hated Sarutobi Karakata in his heart, secretly swore that one day he would kick the coward's balls to pieces!

A murderous look flashed across his face, and Ye Shan frowned and said, "The mission must be completed within the deadline. As for how to complete it, we will talk about it when we get there."

Yamashiro Chen, who knew Ye Shan's character well, did not say anything after hearing this. He found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

........

At a deserted border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, the Tsuchikage, who accepted the invitation of the Third Kazekage, arrived here as scheduled. Although the Third Kazekage was vague about the content of the meeting in the secret letter, he still guessed it. At this stage, the battlefield of the Land of Rain showed a trend of Konoha Village dominating alone, which was not in the interests of both parties. It was time to join forces.

Just as I was thinking about it, the Third Kazekage arrived.

A conspiracy against Konoha began.
