Comprehensive Manga: Becoming a Rebel from Naruto

Chapter 9 Intelligence Analysis
"Hanasaka Jounin, do you have something to hide?" Nakamura asked, looking at his companions.

"Intelligence collection and analysis is a very important lesson. I think Hanasaka Jonin should have mastered some information that we don't know about." Ueno lay on the hunchback, "Have you forgotten his title? Phoenix, that's A title that even the Kazekage-sama cannot obtain.”

"Information?"

"When was the first time you heard about the selection of the Twelve Jonin?" Ueno seemed to have thought of something.

"When did you first know about it?" Nakamura scratched his head, "Let me think about it, it was probably a month and a half ago."

"I heard the news two months ago. My teacher at that time asked me to train hard and said that I would go on a mission with a big shot in a few months. I think he knew something at that time." Ueno said seriously Said, "An organization like the Guardian of the Twelve Jonin should be formed secretly, but it is made public one and a half months or even two months in advance. This is not normal."

"You mean, someone deliberately let the news out, but who could it be?"

"There are only two parties who know this information, Kazekage-sama and the daimyo." A look of disgust appeared on Ueno's little face, "It is impossible for Kazekage-sama to do such a thing, so there is only one answer."

"Why did he do that!"

"The Twelve Guardians of the Country of Fire are a sharp blade for the Country of Fire. The Country of Wind is setting up the same organization with great fanfare. Someone must want to "test" our strength." Ueno thought for a moment and said, "Daimyo People in the government want to borrow swords to kill people, so let's use the hands of ninjas from other countries to help them "screen" candidates to prevent them from spending money."

Nakamura couldn't help but shudder. This "selection" process may not be anything to a jounin like Hanasaka, but it is fatal to these two half-hearted genin.
"Hanasaka-senpai must have noticed that, so he said something like rushing to be reincarnated before setting off." Ueno's expression was a little nervous, and his name for Hanasaka was changed from "Hanasaka Jounin" to "Hanasaka-senpai".

"Don't worry, the intelligence work of Sunagakure Village is not bad, and the number of ninjas that have infiltrated into the Kingdom of Wind is not very large." The two little ones were talking in Hanasaka's ears, and he heard that the two little ones had deceived him. Also relieved.

"Senior, what does this have to do with the number of people?" Nakamura asked respectfully.

"When there are not many people, they will only choose the places where ninjas are most likely to appear for ambush, that is, the shortest routes." Hanasaka gave a hunch, "Just a reminder, if you two If you want to live longer, it is best to choose to follow a famous strong man. In this case, the team led by the two veteran jounin is safe, because their information has been mastered by others, and precious resources are wasted. It is a waste in itself to use the power to test the known information."

"But isn't the task of those famous ninjas very difficult?" Ueno's eyes were a little confused.

"There are only a few dangerous missions. Now is the peaceful era. Unless you are going to conquer tailed beasts, you won't encounter too dangerous situations, especially after forming ANBU." Hanasaka's eyes fell into the distance intentionally or unintentionally. on their two nearest camels.

One of them had been eavesdropping on their conversation. He probably wasn't a ninja from the enemy country. If his guess was correct, he should be an ANBU.

"Anbu?"

"It's an organization that does things that can't be brought to the fore and can't be seen in the light. The mission is probably to sneak into the enemy's country to carry out sabotage and steal intelligence." Hanasaka stretched, "They basically use ordinary ninjutsu. , or have no obvious characteristics on their body, and they cannot be recognized even if they are killed by others. If this kind of work is done by veteran ninjas whose information has long been known to the enemy, they will often be recognized by the enemy as soon as they make a move, and the confidentiality is basically It’s zero.”

"Understood." Ueno and Nakamura nodded heavily. They were now extremely convinced of Hanasaka.As expected of a senior who has survived dozens of dangerous missions, he indeed has his own way of survival.

The expression of the ANBU who eavesdropped on Hanasaka's conversation had completely changed. He was the ANBU who was responsible for keeping an eye on Hanasaka.

Unlike Ueno and Nakamura, who only care about their own comfort, he cares more about the gains and losses of the village.What Ueno Genin analyzed is very likely to be true, which means that the parallel import Jonin squad sent out by Lord Salmon will suffer heavy losses.What's more, he didn't expect that ANBU's work would be so dangerous. If he had known it, he wouldn't have joined ANBU. This time when he went back, he would have to find a way to retire no matter what.

The caravan soon stopped in a small village, and Hanasaka went directly to the blacksmith shop above the store.

There is no ninja shop in the small village that specializes in selling ninja tools, but there are some blacksmith shops where craftsmen can make some simple ninja tools, such as shurikens and kunai, but of this quality...

But Hanasaka can't control that much now. His ninja tool bag is currently empty, and he urgently needs a batch of ninja tools to fill the inventory.

"Thirty shurikens and four kunai, I want them all." Hanasaka said directly and proudly.

Mainly because these things don't cost much in the first place. What's really expensive are the detonating charms. If I had known better, I would have saved them when dealing with Gaara.

The owner of the shop looked at him with a look that was taken advantage of, and looked at the vest of Sunagakure Village on his body. Finally, the owner of the blacksmith shop said hesitantly, "Mr. Ninja, these are all defective products from a small shop."

"Defective product?" Hanasaka was taken aback.

"Yes, there are very strict standards for making ninja tools." The craftsman from the blacksmith shop said seriously, "These are all unqualified and defective products."

"Then I want these defective products. Can the price be cheaper?" Anyway, these are weapons for throwing. He will not stupidly use kunai to fight with others. The ninja sword on his back is not a decoration. .

After many attempts to persuade the owner to no avail, the owner of the blacksmith shop finally sold the ninja tools to Hanasaka at a [-]% discount and signed a contract. If there was a problem with these ninja tools, Hanasaka could not cause trouble to him.

caravan station
At this moment, the merchants in the caravan have all gone out to purchase or sell things. They will stay here for a day and then rush to the next market town again.

"What do you think Hanasaka-senpai is doing?" Nakamura asked curiously.

"It should be to collect intelligence. It is a market held once a month now, and the population flow is very large. Hanasaka-senpai is probably preparing to search for some information that we have not noticed from the ordinary population, and then speculate on certain things." Ueno was extremely sure. said.

"Then can we learn?" Nakamura suddenly asked.

"This should be the secret technique of other ninjas. Do you want to die?" Ueno warned in a low voice, "It's not like you don't know what the big families in the village will do to civilians who steal the techniques."

"But... I want to live." Nakamura said seriously. "The teacher said that 70% of genin will die on the way to be promoted to chunin, and 60% of chunin will die on the way to be promoted to jounin. I want to become The last 12%.”

"You can ask Hanasaka-senpai. If he is willing to teach you..." Ueno sighed, "If he is not willing, you'd better not force him. We are not his students."
