Chapter 195 Fortress
With a greatly shocked Uchiha Shisui.
Hurry up and take turns with your companions before there is too much light.
After handing the detonating talisman obtained from this transaction to Uchiha Asaka, Toshiro looked at Homura.
The other party also understood what he meant, so he bit his finger and used the psychic technique to summon a ninja cat who had signed a contract with him.
"Yoko, is Grandma Cat's place ready?"
Holding his psychic beast in his arms and stroking it hard, Uchiha Homura asked.
"Of course you're ready, meow! As long as you pay the bill, you can start trading right away!"
Seeing the white-haired man with a look of enjoyment in Uchiha Homura's arms, and hearing the other person's words about paying the bill, Toshiro couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.
For this mission, this group of people really went to grandma's house.
But otherwise, with the strength of their team, let alone whether they can complete the mission, even if it is completed, it is estimated that no one except him can return to the camp alive!
"This is the amount agreed in advance, and these are some materials we are collecting. Please give them to Granny Cat!"
He handed the money he had prepared in advance to the white cat, and also gave it another seal scroll.
Among them were some iron materials they collected while cleaning the battlefield after the battle.
The purpose is to use these things to pay off the debt with Grandma Mao.
"There's no problem with the quantity. I've also received the things, nya! After a while, let Homura summon my sister and she will bring the things over!"
"Well! Sorry to trouble you!"
"goodbye!"
After saying hello to Uchiha Homura, the summoned white cat turned into a ball of white smoke and returned to the empty area.
In addition to the iron materials, he took away most of the money he had left after this transaction.
This made the cash-strapped Toshiro heartbroken.
The current arms business is really hot. For example, the detonating charm was originally one to two thousand taels per piece. But now, the price has skyrocketed to 6,000 taels per piece.
There are also shurikens, kunai, ninja swords, etc., and the prices of any war-related items have increased several times.
Sometimes he couldn't help but think, what kind of ninja would he be? Like Granny Cat, isn’t it a good time to be in the arms business?
But reality does not allow him to do this!
What bothered him the most was that the other party wouldn't let him pay on credit and had to settle in cash, otherwise they wouldn't ship the goods to him at all!
The reason was also quite strong. If she said nothing, she would be so angry that she would have nothing to say to anyone she asked for payment.
It’s not enough if you don’t buy it, otherwise it won’t take more than a few battles, and the ninja swords, kunai shurikens, etc. in your hands will be used up, let alone the detonating charms!
But the cost really frightened him.
For example, for the detonating talisman this time, 600 were distributed to so many of them, and each person was only allocated 40. Including those usually seized and issued by the village, there are not even 60.
And these 600 detonating charms cost him 3.6 million taels, plus the consumption of ninja tools and medicine.
This time I made a lot of money and there really wasn’t much left.
Most of it went into the pockets of these arms dealers!
As for the village's supplies, there are only about a dozen detonating charms at a time, plus some military ration pills and the like. This is really a drop in the bucket, especially in such operations behind enemy lines where there is no way to quickly replenish supplies.
Toshiro was not kept waiting for a long time. In just ten minutes, Homura summoned his psychic beast again, and the other party also brought a large number of weapons ordered in advance.
As long as the money is in place, Mao Granny's delivery will be very fast~
"Let's go!"
Distribute the supplies in your hands one by one. Toshiro took his tribe and hid in the surrounding bushes, rushing towards the goal of his mission.
…
One day later.
In an open plain area of the Country of Grass, a yellow-brown earth and stone fortress stands quietly here.
It looked out of place with the surrounding patches of green grass.
This is an outpost observation post of the Iwa Ninja here. Its function is to facilitate the Iwa Ninja's reconnaissance troops so that they can more conveniently perform reconnaissance missions.
At the same time, this is also an important node of the Iwa Ninja Camp, playing a supporting role. At the same time, the Iwa Ninja commanders in the camp can better control Konoha's movements.
"Is this fortress the target of our mission this time?"
In a dense grassland five or six kilometers away from this fortress, a group of more than a dozen figures were hiding here, observing the target of their mission with telescopes in their hands.
Even though they were far apart, this group of people were still cautious, for fear of revealing any clues and letting the observers on the opposite side discover any clues.
To talk about some of Iwa Ninja's strategies, it's really a headache.
For example, the fortress in front of you, this group of rock ninjas, built this fortress quite thickly. It's not just thick, it should be said to be airtight.
Just by looking at it, you can tell how much they strengthened this place with their earth-bending ninjutsu when they built it.
It made Konoha's ninjas feel like a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite when facing these strongholds one by one.
"No wonder you bought so many detonating charms this time. Without these things, it would be almost impossible for us to complete the mission!"
Looking at the building opposite, Uchiha Tetsu said with a serious face at this time.
Several years of fighting on the battlefield have caused great changes in this frizzy young man. Having been in danger several times, he now no longer dares to act recklessly.
The whole person is simply a different person than before.
"Even so, Toshiro! How sure are you?"
"Are you sure? I don't know, I can only depend on the situation!"
Just like now, if it was the previous Uchiha Tetsu, he would never ask such a question. She would just ask him with excitement: ‘When are we going to do it’.
At this time, not only Uchiha Tetsu, but everyone in their team was looking at the building in the distance with serious faces.
"Yan! You and Zhe will find a place to stay first, and at the same time investigate the terrain nearby. Be careful and don't let anyone find any traces~"
Although he is the captain of this team, there is no need to do everything by himself. Otherwise, why would we need so many teammates?
He casually gave instructions to Yan and Zhe, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to complete this mission.
