Chapter 354: Food is also considered war reserve material?

No, what did we do wrong? Why did we get kicked and wronged by the big boss?

Faced with such a rebuke, the leader of the Kusagakure Village almost vomited blood.

Even if you, the Iwagakure, want to frame someone, you should at least find a more reasonable excuse, right?

You ninjas from the Iwagakure Village come to the Land of Grass and act like the masters. Who dares to mess with you?

Since the decision has been made to attack the Kusagakure Village, the Iwagakure Village will be merciful.

Not long after, several teams sneaked into the Kusagakure Village and eliminated half of the leaders of the Kusagakure Village who liked to wear masks representing the twelve zodiac signs.

As the news spread, everyone realized that it was the Iwagakure who did it, because they had reason to cause trouble for the Kusagakure.

However, a lot of the high-ranking officials of the Kusagakure were directly cleared out. This method is indeed a bit scary.

For a time, everyone in the small ninja villages in various countries felt insecure, and everyone was afraid that other villages would follow the example of the Iwagakure and attack them.

Fortunately, Kusagakure is just an exception.

Apart from them, no other small village was inexplicably attacked or even cleansed by the big ninja village.

This made some small ninja villages with ulterior motives suddenly become obedient.

The little ambitions that had just emerged in their hearts were immediately extinguished by what happened in the Kusagakure Village.

You should know that among the many small ninja villages, the strength of Kusagakure is not the strongest, but at least it is at the upper level.

As a result, they were cleared out and there was no room for resistance.

One can imagine how big the gap in strength is between the small village and the five major ninja villages.

If you don't have enough strength, just hide your ambitions, otherwise you will die a miserable death.

The Kusagakure Village lost more than it gained. Half of the top leaders were purged. The remaining people immediately became well behaved and dared not to do anything weird again.

If it were something else, the Iwagakure might have been blamed.

However, the major ninja villages all tacitly chose not to see this small ninja village being retaliated against for its rebellion.

Not to mention other villages, even the Cloud Village, which has always been at odds with the Iwagakure, seemed to be unaware of the situation.

No one stood up to speak for them, and no one stood up to accuse the Iwagakure of doing something wrong, as if everything the Iwagakure did was right.

You, Kusagakure, deserve it. You deserve to be targeted and cleaned out.

In this wave, Konoha did not suffer a loss, but the Iwagakure was somewhat affected, but fortunately the problem was not serious.

The Kusagakure Village suffered a huge loss.

Yan was too lazy to pay too much attention to the fate of the Kusagakure Village.

Anyway, as long as the Iwagakure takes action, their village will have no time to please them. As long as the Iwagakure does what it promised, nothing else matters.

At this time, Yan had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. He had already brought his men to the border outpost camp.

The sudden arrival of the Hokage's assistant at the border camp means that something big might happen.

The atmosphere in the entire camp suddenly became tense.

Many ninjas were discussing privately whether Yan's arrival at the border camp and his direct residence in the camp meant that there might be a danger of a war breaking out between the village and the Sand Village.

The Jonin meeting was held as usual, and this time when they arrived at the border camp, Yan directly brought the Jonin squad leader Nara Shikaku with him.

The camp’s command center is not big, but fortunately there aren’t many people in the camp who are qualified to attend the meeting.

Only ninjas who have reached the jonin level are qualified to attend the meeting.

All in all, including the people brought by Yan, there were only about twenty people sitting in the command center.

Two thirds of them were brought by Yan from the village.

Theoretically speaking, a border camp with four or five jonin in charge is considered an adequate distribution of forces.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan. Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, carefully looked at the intelligence scroll collected by the Anbu.

The command center was very quiet and everyone was waiting patiently.

Yan read all the intelligence scrolls before looking up:

"In a few days, a caravan will arrive from Daming Prefecture. We can detain it. We don't need to hurt anyone or tamper with the goods. We can just find an excuse to detain it."

Use the methods that the Sand Village likes to use against them.

Now that he has arrived at the border, Yan needs to convince the Sand Village once and for all.

Only when they are impressed and frightened will they behave themselves.

Otherwise, various warnings and prompts are useless.

Others don't take it seriously at all.

The Sand Village is in trouble.

All the ninjas present knew that since Yan had given such an order, it was equivalent to using the methods that the Sand Village liked to use to target them.

For a moment, many ninjas showed excited and gnashing teeth expressions.

They have been disgusted by the Sand Village many times, and now it is finally their turn to disgust the other side.

Seize the caravan?

If you can do it, so can we, and we will just pick out the important caravans to detain.

Anyway, your Sand Village has more caravans heading to the Fire Country, and many things are specially purchased from the Fire Country and then shipped to the Sand Village.

I'll take it off for you and see if you're anxious.

The caravan arrived as scheduled and was not late. It even arrived at the border much earlier than expected.

After all, the transported materials are all daily necessities needed by the Sand Village, and the sooner they are delivered to the Sand Village, the better.

We are almost at the border camp.

The caravan had traveled this route many times and had never been troubled by the people of Konoha.

As long as you don't do anything sneaky, or deliberately hide some contraband, or collect intelligence along the way, the ninjas of Konoha will most likely not make things difficult for you and will let you pass directly.

At most, it is just to check the transported goods.

"Stop!!!"

When the caravan approached the camp, it was stopped. The caravan members were not too surprised, but happily stepped forward to negotiate:

"Dear ninjas, the goods transported on the carriage are all daily necessities. We purchased them from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire on behalf of the Sand Village..."

"Come here, seize all the goods, take them back to the camp, and check carefully to see if there are any contraband or war supplies being transported."

The leading jonin didn't bother to communicate with the caravan members and directly gave the order to seize the goods.

"???"

Seeing that the Konoha ninja was about to seize the things, everyone in the caravan was stunned.

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing. In the past, most of the ninjas in Konoha were easy to talk to.

Even if there are people with bad tempers on duty, they will not be given too much trouble. At most, they will just have a sour face.

This is the first time that things have been confiscated without even being checked.

Do you still need to bring the goods to the camp for inspection?

Can we take this out again after we go to the camp?

"Sir, did you misunderstand? We are transporting ordinary goods for daily life. We do not carry any contraband, let alone war supplies."

"Food is not considered war supplies?"

The leading jonin glanced over with a sharp gaze, almost scaring the caravan members to death.

Is food also considered war supplies?

This statement seems to be fine if it is applied to the Wind Kingdom, but it is quite funny if it is applied to the Fire Kingdom.
