Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 412: Common people are like leeks
"Commander Demon Leech! The ninja army of the shogunate has entered the Kingdom of Birds, and the interception mission of the border garrison troops commanded by Bunga Jōnin has failed!"

In the Iwagakure garrison camp on the southern border of the Earth Kingdom, the hurried Iwagakure messenger ninjas kept bringing back all kinds of bad news.

"That bastard Wenya!"

After hearing this, Demon Leech immediately shouted angrily: "He has three squadrons of ninja troops! He can't stop those shogunate guys! This is dereliction of duty! I want the torture department to arrest him!"

"In the charity team of the shogunate, there are more than 100 combat ninjas on the surface..."

The messenger ninja whispered.

"I see……"

The demon leech waved his hand feebly and asked his subordinates to retreat.

There are only about thirty Iwagakure ninjas in three squadrons, and they are facing off against more than 100 shogunate fighting ninjas. Even Demon Leech himself is not confident in leading the team.

Chitu, who is in charge of the overall situation of remote control in the county, said it nicely. He asked not to conflict with the so-called charity action team who came with bad intentions, but also not to allow them to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Earth...

As a result, they simply ignored the intercepting troops and entered the Kingdom of Birds!
The Kingdom of Birds retreated, and then they reached the border of the Kingdom of Earth!
If you don't look like you're always ready to fight, you'll be fooled by the war madmen in the shogunate!

So, how can we play in such a constrained situation?
With the leech's granite head, it is impossible to think of any useful strategy.

But there are some things that you have to do even if you know you can’t do them...

Thinking of this, Demon Leech glanced at the ANBU ninja "Da Luo" who was in the corner of the Chinese army's tent and seemed to be monitoring everyone.

Although he is one of Iwagakure's elite jounin, as a commander of the ninja army who has been stationed abroad for a long time, he does not know much about the village's confidential information, so naturally he does not know Asura's true identity and only thinks that he is a red soil sect. It's just the "supervisory army" that came out.

"Damn it! Why did those bastards from the shogunate come running to deliver supplies to those savages after they were full!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help but pick up the cup on the table and smash it.

"Is the Kingdom of Birds also a gathering place for savages?"

Asura's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask.

Although the former base of the Akatsuki organization is within the Kingdom of Birds, Ashura has not had time to "visit the ruins" and naturally has little understanding of the customs and customs of the Kingdom of Birds.

"...About two-thirds of the Bird Country are savages!"

Demon Leech said casually.

"so much?"

Asura was a little surprised.

"Many of them have fallen into disgrace because they were dispersed in the wilderness due to war."

Demon Leech was unwilling to answer such a childish topic for him, so one of his confidants introduced it on his behalf: "Before and after the Great Ninja War, the main battlefields between us and Sunagakure were basically in the Kingdom of Birds, so there were many The small counties were destroyed by the war, and those who fled became savages from then on."

"Moreover, the tasks that our mission camp in the Bird Country can undertake are mainly to collect supplies from the savage groups."

"Didn't the Daimyo of Bird Country go to recruit these people back?"

Asura continued to ask.

"He has no money."

The confidant replied casually: "Without money, there is no way to rebuild, and there is no way to increase rations. Even the government army that collects taxes cannot maintain it, so this is the only way."

"By the way, even those collection tasks are shared with the daimyo~"

If the mask hadn't obscured his expression, Iwagakure in the tent would have seen Asura rolling his eyes to the sky.

However, after several rounds of moral baptism, Asura's bottom line has become a little more flexible, and he can be more tolerant, so he did not hang these shameless people on a tree trunk to dry.

"After reshaping the order of the ninja world in the future, we must strengthen the ideological education of ninjas..."

However, Asura's inner bitterness remained undiminished, so he had no choice but to use his imagination to divert his annoyance.

"...Speak to Akatsuki-sama, the headquarters now plans to move the garrisoned ninja army southward and enter the Kingdom of Birds to set up a defense line!"

After a long silence, the magic leech finally spoke.

He felt that he still couldn't let it go, otherwise he would never be able to get rid of this big pot.

Therefore, the devil decided to be more bold and try to get the "war-fearing faction" in the village to transfer him out of the battle due to his radical behavior.

It's just that although Demon Leech's abacus made a fuss, Chitu's reply immediately shattered his delusions.

"Your department is a standing organization directly under the leadership of Lord Tsuchikage. You should make your own decisions!"

Although Akatsuchi has a pretty good relationship with Demon Leech, he has no intention of helping him when faced with such a difficult matter!
And this reply put the magic leech on the fire!
The fundamental reason is that - Demon Leech never reported to the headquarters of the Iwagakure Ninja Village that the so-called charity action team planned to enter the small vassal countries such as Tori Country or even the disaster-stricken southern Earth Country!
At the beginning, all he wanted was to gain some supplies!Who knew that after a routine report to Chitu, who was the "imperial envoy", things would develop in such a big way!

"...otherwise, we should proceed according to the original plan."

One of his henchmen, Iwagakure, whispered.

The so-called original plan was to cooperate with the charity team to distribute relief supplies, and then "get back" the supplies after these obstructive shogunate ninjas left.

"but……"

Magic Leech didn't know if the original plan was enough at this time.

Originally, the reason why he informed Chitu was to drag him into trouble.

But if this kind of thing is put on the table... aside from other things, it really doesn't look good in terms of face.

More importantly, if the "recycling" of relief supplies is transformed into a ninja army action that represents the will of the ninja village, then not much will be distributed to him!
"...just act according to circumstances!"

Considering that there was also the "ANBU Ninja" Daluo in the Chinese army's tent, Demon Lee just glanced at his trusted subordinates and then strode away.

Asura stood frozen in the corner of the Chinese army tent for a long time before slowly walking out.

He also understood the leech's intention, but he was too lazy to continue to pay attention to it.

After repeated defeats and three-view-style blows, Asura not only became more flexible in his bottom line, but even the "son of prophecy reshaping the order of the ninja world" that he had always believed in couldn't help but put a question mark on it.

"Miaomu Mountain is a place outside the world after all. There are some things that you have to look at and think about on your own..."

Even though he was shaken in his heart, Asura still convinced himself and decided to continue to walk more in the ninja world and observe more. "It's impossible that Iwagakure doesn't have good people...just like the shogunate and the Uchiha clan can't all be bad people..."

With a slight sigh, Asura stepped forward and ran towards the Kingdom of Birds.

……

"Captain! There is an Iwagakure ANBU spying on you!"

A Konoha ninja said to Mikigaki Kisame, who was happily watching the victims of the Tori Country receiving relief supplies.

"Don't mind him."

Kisame Kisaki had been aware of it for a long time, but he was too lazy to cause trouble.

"Yes!"

The subordinates immediately stopped talking.

Although Inikaki Kisame was determined to make some big news with Chief of Staff Hinata Hizashi, he still kept the discipline of the shogunate in mind.

For example, this time around, Kisame Inikaki planned to stick to his request of "not shooting the first kunai".

and……

Looking at this group of disheveled, emaciated and emaciated victims of Tori Land, even the hard-hearted Kisame Kisaki felt a sense of pity.

I really don’t know how those fat-headed nobles and Iwagakure ninjas could be so determined to let these people die of hunger.

"Each person will have a bowl of thick porridge and two buckets of coarse rice. Don't be anxious and don't be crowded! Line up and everyone will have a share!"

After taking a look at the "Iwagakure ninja" standing on the treetop not far away, Inikisaki Kisame raised his voice and shouted.

"...Why do you put those smelly fish and rotten shrimps in the porridge? And why do you add sand and sawdust to the coarse rice!"

With the fluctuation of the teleportation technique, the "Iwagakure ANBU" not far away came to Inikisaki Kisame.

The Konoha ninjas planned to intercept them, but Kisame Kisaki waved his hand, indicating that they should continue to work on their own affairs.

"You can't hold the basin or use the pot! We will distribute bowls uniformly, and the portions will be the same. The thick porridge must be consumed on the spot, and the bowls can be given to you to take away!"

Inikigaki Kisame ignored the uninvited guest and continued shouting with his hands on his hips.

The "Iwagakure Anbu" who was asking for trouble was none other than Asura. He didn't feel surprised after hitting a snag. He just stood aside and silently watched the scene where relief food was being distributed.

The victims of the Toriya Kingdom disaster who were originally crowded in the front, the "savages" in the words of the Iwagakure ninjas, suddenly became commotion after seeing the ninja who was protecting Iwagakure's forehead. However, it seemed that Asura had no ill intentions, and The Konoha ninjas were still guarding the surroundings with blades, and then they felt relieved and continued to line up.

Asura became even more anxious when he saw this.

The Kingdom of Birds is a small vassal country of Iwagakure, the Kingdom of Earth... As a result, these forgotten savages showed closer to and more trust in the Konoha ninjas of the hostile camp...

Asura's heart was full of mixed emotions, and he really didn't know what to say.

With bursts of steam rising from the huge pot, the thick porridge made from coarse rice mixed with some low-quality dried salted fish exuded the smell of salty rot. Although the group of victims who were waiting for the shogunate ninja to release food were all Although I was trying hard to swallow, I still maintained the most basic discipline. No one made any noise or tried to fight.

Even though Asura saw that several disaster victims might not be able to hold on anymore and fell down on the spot, the long queue of victims remained "indifferent" and just waited silently for the gift of the ninja masters.

These "savages" are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed...

"Why haven't you started giving porridge yet?"

Asura couldn't help but question.

Iniki Kaki Kisame just looked back at him but said nothing.

As the heat in the cauldron continued to rise, the aroma of the grain was completely released. At this time, the dried persimmon Kisame said leisurely: "Give porridge and grain!"

Suddenly, the victims group cheered!
"why?"

Asura asked again.

But this time the volume and tone were much lower.

"Ok?"

Kisame Kisaki snorted.

"Why are those... fish and shrimps put in the porridge?"

After receiving the response, Asura immediately became energetic and at the same time slightly changed his description of those "stinky fish and rotten shrimps".

"That's dried seafood! There's salt in it! So when mixed with coarse rice, it's salted fish porridge!"

Kisame Kisaki glanced at Asura as if he were a fool.

"Try not eating salt for a few months and see what the consequences will be!"

"Then why do you mix sand, wood chips and other impurities into the coarse rice in public?"

Asura asked again.

"In this way, those nobles will no longer look down on these inferior rice."

Inakisaki Kisame said casually.

"...But isn't just two buckets of rice per person too little?"

"Some things always need people to do it. If you don't do it, we will do it."

Kisame Kisame's shark face was very serious. He stared at the masked Asura and said, "But! We don't need you to tell us how to do things!"

"Besides, compared with those extremely corrupt nobles, we have done enough! So there is no need for you to stand on the moral high ground and accuse us for no reason, otherwise the ninja sword of the shogunate will tell you what is the real truth! "

"All the shogunate can give is to give these little people like leeks a chance to survive! That's all!"

Asura was silent.
