Chapter 172 Are You Really Here to Carry Out a Mission?

"enough!"

Mizutomon En's face was dull and he said with a dark face:

"Xiaochun, this is necessary. Even if I am rejected and lose face, at least no trouble will come to us for the right to command, because Jingyi rejected me."

Jingyi's clear refusal and non-participation in anything means that Mito Menyan has the command power firmly in his hands, and there will be no conflicts due to command during the mission.

Even though it was embarrassing, at least it could be considered a good thing.

You know, the most frightening thing when you are out on a mission is disagreements within a team, with one person wanting to go east and the other wanting to go west.

as long as you are happy.

Utane Koharu really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held it back.

"So, what should we do next..."

Utatane Koharu said very tactfully: "Although the focus of the Sand Village is on the battlefield of River Country, they are also on guard against the direction of Rain Country. It is not easy for us to sneak in quietly."

"So we can't go directly from the Rain Country to the Wind Country. We need to take a detour."

Mitomon En took out a map and pointed to the border between the Rain Country and the Wind Country.

"We're going into the Land of Grass? Isn't that taking a detour too far?"

The most appropriate choice is to enter the Kingdom of Wind from the Kingdom of Rain. As for the Kingdom of Grass, one will undoubtedly have to take a long detour.

"If possible, I would even like to go around the sea and enter the Kingdom of Wind from the back."

Mitomon En pointed at the map and said, "The other side of the Wind Country is close to the sea. This is also the place with the most oases in their country, but it's too slow to go around the sea."

"The defenses in the Rain Country are definitely not as strict as those in the River Country, but the risk of being exposed when entering the Wind Country from here is still very high."

"What we are going to do is very dangerous. Once exposed, we will be surrounded and killed by the Sand Village's ninja army. Safety is the most important thing."

Tenkin Koharu was a little hesitant, because according to Mito Kado En's plan, they needed to sneak into the Grass Country from the Fire Country, then enter the Rain Country from the Grass Country, then take a detour from the Rain Country to the Bird Country, and finally enter the Wind Country.

This big circle is not a short journey.

And you have to go through several small countries.

Fortunately, among these countries, the Grass Kingdom and the Bird Kingdom are too weak, and the Rain Kingdom has been scrapped. As long as they are careful, the risk of being exposed is very small, which is lower than sneaking in from the Rain Kingdom.

"Then follow your plan."

After thinking for a while and unable to come up with any good idea, Utane Koharu could only agree with Mitomon En's suggestion.

Take a detour, or go in a big circle.

The team quickly set off and had a smooth journey in the Fire Country. However, when they arrived at the border of the Fire Country, Jingyi discovered that the team's route was not to the Rain Country, but to the Grass Country...

The Grass Kingdom is also a small country sandwiched between big countries, but unlike the Rain Kingdom, the Grass Kingdom borders the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

Moreover, the ninjas of the Land of Grass all have a very strange characteristic, which is that they are particularly fence-sitters.

When Konoha is strong, they hold on to Konoha and become Konoha's little followers. When Konoha becomes weak, they will jump up and bite Konoha back, and then turn to the arms of the Iwagakure and make trouble for Konoha in various ways.

After taking benefits from the Iwagakure, he began to wag his tail towards Konoha, and his main style was to be a fence-sitter, taking sides.

It's a pity that Konoha and Iwagakure need the Grass Country to stand between the two major countries to reduce friction between them. Otherwise, with the Grass Country acting like a fence-sitter, it would have been destroyed long ago.

The two elder advisors needed to go around in a circle, and a very big circle. Jingyi had no intention of asking any questions and followed the team into the Kingdom of Grass with peace of mind.

Since the team has already taken a detour through the Grass Kingdom, it is impossible for them to enter the Wind Kingdom directly through the Rain Kingdom. They must continue to take a detour, otherwise there would be no need to go around in vain and take a detour through the Grass Kingdom.

In this regard, Jingyi only wants to ask: Aren’t you tired?

No matter which direction you sneak in from, you can't avoid the secret sentries and patrolling ninjas. Why don't you try to get rid of these people and choose to take a big detour?

Okay, let’s take a detour. The command is not his anyway. Jingyi has a good attitude and follows the team to take a detour.

In the Rain Country, a hidden resting place, the Anbu people came to see Jingyi.

"Sir, the chaos in the Land of Rain has subsided a lot because of the stability of the Daimyo's mansion. The Daimyo of the Land of Rain wants to borrow the power of the Anbu to clean up the chaos in the country."

“Tsk~~~~”

Listening to the report from the Anbu, Jingyi burst into laughter:

"How dare he think that he could use our people as his subordinates?"

"Don't bother with him. The mission of the Anbu is to ensure his safety. As for the chaos in the Rain Country, it has nothing to do with the Anbu. Tell him directly that these are my original words. If he is dissatisfied, he can go to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion to complain."

We sent people to protect you for the sake of the Fire Nation Daimyo, so you should just thank us obediently. But you still want us to help you quell the chaos in the country?

What kind of peach do you want to eat?

If the daimyo hadn't spoken, no one would care who the daimyo of the Rain Country is, or whether you are at risk of assassination.

The status of a daimyo is noble, but you are the daimyo of the Rain Country, and have nothing to do with Konoha.

"Okay, you guys go back. Ensure the safety of the Rain Country Daimyo before the war is over. I have other tasks here."

After the report, Jingyi asked the Anbu people to leave.

There was no plan to ask the Anbu members to stay and help clear the way.

That is the job of Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu, and there is no need for the Anbu to get involved.

After the Anbu people left, Jingyi came to the agreed location and said to the two elders: "The Anbu's mission report is over, we can continue to set off."

Why not let the Anbu people stay to help explore the way?

Utane Koharu really wanted to ask this question.

After all, the people in the Anbu are best at doing this kind of work.

"Okay, let's go and continue on our journey."

Mizuto Kado En stopped Utane Koharu. He knew that Shizuichi would not sacrifice the Anbu members to help them. Since he would not do that, why bother asking for it?

If you open your mouth, you might be laughed at.

He believed that the ninjas selected this time would be able to handle the task.

It took two days for the group to successfully reach the Bird Kingdom and come to the border between the Bird Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

Before entering the Kingdom of Wind, you can already see the vast Gobi Desert and orange-yellow desert within the Kingdom of Wind. The entire Kingdom of Wind is basically like this terrain. Only in places close to other countries does the geographical environment is slightly better.

The deeper you go into the Kingdom of Wind, the more desolate this place feels.

There's nothing but desert.

Mitomon En sent two teams of senior ninja to enter the Land of Wind first to investigate the situation.

Jingyi took out a hat with a veil and put it on his head. Although it was his first time in the Kingdom of Wind, Jingyi had made sufficient preparations. The hat could block the sun and prevent him from being overexposed to the sun, and the veil could block the sand blown by the wind and prevent him from having a mouth full of sand when he opened his mouth.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who were discussing which target to attack first, subconsciously looked towards Shizuichi.

When they saw Jingyi wearing a hat, their expressions became very strange.

Even the sun hat and veil are ready. You, Hinata Shizuka, are not really here for fun, are you?

"Cough cough."

Mitomon Yan coughed and asked tentatively:

"Jingyi, we are about to enter the Kingdom of Wind. I suggest that you change your clothes and disguise yourself to confuse the enemy as much as possible. What do you think?"
