Chapter 11: Setting up the Flag

Ye Shan, who knew nothing about the conspiracy between the two ninja village leaders, continued to walk through the dense forest of the Rain Country. The unchanging heavy rain made his body feel a little cold, and he began to miss the 996 life in his previous life. Sure enough, 996 is the real blessing. Enterprises like Konoha Ninja Village that exploit child labor will suffer.

Just as he jumped up from the branch, several kunai were shot at him from the front without any concealment. Ye Shan frowned, waved his right hand a few times and knocked down the kunai, which fell to the ground. He couldn't figure out what kind of ninja he had encountered, who would attack so casually.

Soon, Ye Shan knew the answer.

These were three wandering ninjas. The leader was playing with a kunai in his hand. He was about thirty years old, fair-skinned and handsome, which made Ye Shan a little jealous. The two behind him were wearing masks, so his appearance could not be seen, but Ye Shan's intuition, which he had acquired over many years of ninja career, told him that these people were not very strong.

"Hey, little brat, hand over your stuff if you don't want to die. I haven't had a full meal in several days, and I'm in a bad mood. You'd better be obedient, otherwise..." As he said that, the leading ninja put the kunai in his hand across his neck.

"........"

To be honest, Ye Shan was completely confused at this moment. The war had been going on for several years, but how come all the idiots hadn't died out yet? This was unscientific. Before Ye Shan could speak, the two followers became impatient.

"Why bother arguing with them? There are only two of them. We can definitely win! We can kill the male and make dry food, and keep the female for breeding. After we finish this job, we can go home. How great!"

Wow, Ye Shan is an expert. Two flags appeared in just a few words. Could it be that you are an expert at planting flags? Those who shout: "The other side has fewer people, let's go up, finish this mission and go back to get married, don't panic, I can kill them back", if they are not extremely smart, they will not survive for more than five minutes. The last person who was so arrogant was Jiraiya... But he is rough but meticulous, and he has a Hokage master. If Ye Shan has a Hokage backer, kicking Uchiha and punching Senju are not a problem. It is not difficult for him to survive to the end steadily.

After stretching his right hand behind his back and making a few gestures, Ye Shan didn't say anything else. He took out a kunai and rushed forward. A tool man should have the awareness of a tool man, so as not to offend people.

While sprinting, Ye Shan lowered his body, and his high speed blew off the hood of his raincoat. When he was less than ten meters away, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground, leaving a big hole, and flew over in a black shadow that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

The three wandering ninjas obviously didn't expect that the inconspicuous little devil could be so fast. After they hurriedly made a few seals, they realized that it was too late.

The sound of the blade entering the body excited Ye Shan's blood. The huge inertia caused the stabbed Langnin to fall to the ground, and bounced a few times. Then he came behind the extremely panicked Langnin in an instant, and Ye Shan deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Is your melon ripe?"

The Langnin covered his throat with both hands, and the blood vessels in his neck throbbed fiercely. His leaking throat could not convey any sound, but Ye Shan still guessed what he wanted to express, which was nothing more than some beautiful words like: CNM, WDNMD, and young people have no martial ethics and are trying to launch sneak attacks.

The last ninja looked at everything that happened in an instant, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground, a stream of yellow unknown liquid flowed out, he was so scared that he peed...

Shaking his head, Ye Shan still stabbed the kunai into the opponent's heart, ending this ridiculous battle. Looking at the three bodies that passed away peacefully, Ye Shan just wanted to say: Young people, don't be too arrogant, you can't control it, and be reborn in a good way in the next life. Also, don't raise the flag randomly, it will cost lives.

Yamashiro Tatsuya and Yamanaka Yuura watched their captain's overwhelming battle, without a trace of surprise. No one knew Baiyun Yeshan's strength better than them. Among the five major chunins, excluding the bloodline limit ninjas, he was one of the top ones, nicknamed the chunin killer and the egg-crushing pioneer.

Thinking of the title of Egg Breaker, Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. The flirtatious kick a few days ago was publicized by some Konoha ninja, which made the captain depressed and at the same time a little "glorious".

Ye Shan, who had no idea why Yamashiro Tatsuya was laughing, looked at him strangely without saying anything. He simply dug a hole and buried the three wandering ninjas with flags, then took out his combat diary and started writing.

.......

Five days later, Ye Shan and his companions, who were moving at a snail's pace, finally arrived at the northwest of the Rain Country. Before entering here, Ye Shan ordered Chen to steal some clothes. The three of them dressed up as businessmen and swaggered into a small town.

The essence of lurking is to lie low. The three of them were not in a hurry. They rented a house in a small town, opened a fruit shop, and lay low. If you don't investigate in depth, everything will look strange. After ten days or so, the atmosphere gradually became strange.

"Which wave is this?" Ye Shan turned his head and asked.

"The 5th wave," Yamanaka Yuura answered without raising his head as he carefully picked the grapes.

In just two days, it was already the fifth wave of Sand Ninjas that came out to plunder food on a large scale. Ye Shan didn't know whether it was due to the decline of morality or the lack of humanity, but he knew with his toes that another fight was about to begin. As for who the victim would be, it was not something that a little Chunin like him should consider. Now his first priority was to get the information and run away. However, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he was familiar with in his previous life, it was most likely that Iwagakure would be unlucky. In the absence of being able to increase troops, Iwagakure's power in the Rain Country was indeed pitifully small.

As for whether it will be the Konoha side, Yeshan doesn't think that after seeing Susanoo, the Sand Village has the courage to confront it head-on.

At night, the fruit shop that had been "borrowed" by the Sand Village had no fruit left. Ye Shan knew that he could no longer stay here. If he didn't leave, it would definitely arouse suspicion. As for the Sand Village's style of taking away everything except a needle and thread, Ye Shan could only silently wish them to be hacked to death when they went out.

The steady Ye Shan wanted to wait a little longer, but the Sand Ninja's movements told him that he really couldn't delay any longer. If a few sensory ninjas popped up one day, the three of them would be finished. After making up their minds, the Ye Shan team disappeared into the darkness and rushed to the mission location.

The drizzle started again in the middle of the night. A squirrel was dozing on a tree, unaware that it was being watched.

"Ninjutsu: Heart-turning Jutsu!"

Ye Shan caught Yamanaka Yuura's body, and the squirrel opened its eyes and ran away nimbly.

"What a convenient ninjutsu." Even though he had seen it several times, Ye Shan couldn't help but sigh. The ninjas of the Yamanaka clan were born to be good at infiltration.

Not long after, the squirrel came back with a scroll in its two paws. Ye Shan was overjoyed when he saw this. He had not expected the task to be completed so easily. He wanted to pick up the little squirrel and give it a few big kisses.

After getting the scroll, the three of them did not stay any longer. They found the right direction and slipped away.

........

Just as the Yeshan team was on their way back, a meeting was taking place in the camp of the Konoha Ninja Village in the Rain Country. The oval conference table was filled with the heads of various departments, and the head was Uchiha Jing. The theme of the meeting was whether to expel the Sand Village and end the war in the Rain Country.

It is worth mentioning that there were three young ninjas sitting at the end of the table. Although they were not very old, the participants kept nodding to them. They were Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade Senju, who would be known as the Three Ninjas of Konoha in the future!

The meeting was boring, nothing more than reporting on the reserves of ninja tools, food, medical supplies, combat personnel, etc. Jiraiya kept dozing off. After Tsunade pinched his legs under the table countless times, Uchiha Kagami put down his hands that were supporting his cheeks and coughed twice. Everyone perked up and listened attentively with serious faces.

"Next, we will discuss how to expel the Sand Village and end the war in the Rain Country."

All the ninjas were veterans who were well versed in political tactics. When they heard Uchiha Kagami's words, they all frowned unconsciously. Whether to expel and how to expel were two completely different concepts, but when they thought of Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo that could tear apart mountains and split seas, they all remained motionless like old monks sitting still.

Uchiha Jing nodded with satisfaction. The feeling of being in power made him feel a little dizzy. Just as he was about to speak, an Anbu ninja suddenly broke in.

"Report to the Lord, a large number of Sand Ninja activities were discovered in the west, suspected to be an invasion by Sand Ninja!"

The words of the Anbu were like tens of thousands of detonating tags exploding, causing a huge uproar in the conference room. The director of the Intelligence Department even slammed the table and stood up, his old face flushed red. If what this Anbu ninja said was true, then he was derelict in his duty! You know, reconnaissance is the responsibility of the Intelligence Department, and the Anbu is not under his jurisdiction.

Uchiha Jing's smugness faded away, he glanced at everyone, knocked on the table, and asked after everyone quieted down, "Is the news true?"

"Yes!" short and powerful.

"How many people?"

"More than a thousand people!"

The meeting room, which had just quieted down, became noisy again. Orochimaru smiled playfully, and Tsunade beside him whispered, "What should we do?"

"What should we do?" Orochimaru asked knowingly.

The number # appeared on Tsunade's fair forehead. She stretched out her hand and pinched Jiraiya, then said, "Sand Ninja!"

Jiraiya grimaced in pain and looked at Orochimaru with resentment.

Orochimaru was startled by Jiraiya's gaze. He sat further away and said calmly: "When enemies come, we will fight back with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Don't we have him?" After saying that, he pursed his lips at Uchiha Kagami who had a gloomy face.

"Hahahahahaha"

A burst of wild laughter broke the argument, and everyone stared at Uchiha Jing with wide eyes, wondering why this man was laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha", Uchiha Jing couldn't stop laughing, and even stood up to laugh. When he was about to laugh tears, a violent chakra burst out from his body.

"When you feel sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. The Intelligence Department will find the location for me. Everyone else, gather together!"

"Everyone, after this battle, we will return home!"

Uchiha Jing raised a flag in rage, and it was unclear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
