Chapter 28
However, in recent times, they have been performing C-level missions more and more frequently, and they have almost never performed D-level missions again.
Ming Jing speculated that part of the reason for this was that the strength of himself and others continued to improve, which made it more difficult for Kato Dan to take on tasks. On the other hand, I am afraid that the battle situation on the front line is not optimistic.
This group of wave ninjas is already the seventh group they have hunted down this month.
Because the situation in the Country of Fire has begun to gradually become chaotic, Ming Jing suspects that this is because the frontline battle situation is unfavorable, which makes others think that Konoha is currently insufficient in strength, so they are thinking of ways to make a profit.
Moreover, from time to time, the mirror can hear that any ninja troops from the enemy country have sneaked into the territory of the Kingdom of Fire. The village has also sent people to encircle and suppress them many times. The results were both successful and unsuccessful, leaving many supplies and weapons in the Kingdom of Fire. The production and storage locations have been destroyed, which further encourages these rogues to fish in troubled waters.
Ming Jing didn't know whether he and others would go to the battlefield, but he was certain that cutting-edge combat forces like Kato Dan would probably be transferred to the front line soon.
The reason why Kato Dan was able to lead them for nearly half a year was mainly because Kato Dan had been seriously injured on the front line in the direction of Wind Country half a year ago, and then returned to Konoha for training. At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen He also found him an easy job leading a team of Jonin, squeezing as much labor as possible.
As early as more than a month ago, Kato Dan's injury had basically recovered, and maybe he would be transferred to the front line tomorrow.
"Forget it, what's the point of thinking about it? Don't worry about it. All we can do is improve our strength and complete the task seriously. What to do with other things is the matter of the big shots in the village. You are a genin like me, so it’s better not to worry about the Hokage.”
Facing the new topic raised by Ming Jing, Inuzuka Haha just laughed and patted Ming Jing on the shoulder.
Now, it was his turn to comfort Ming Jing.
……
……
Kato Dan will indeed be heading to the front line soon.
Not only him, but also the three genin of Kato's class.
"Is the current situation in the village really so dangerous that even genin like us, who have only graduated for half a year, have to follow us to the front line?"
Spiegel was indeed surprised by this.
You know, they are different from ordinary genin.
At the beginning of their graduation, they had been assigned to be trained under the Jonin for various reasons. This shows that Konoha truly trains them as the future of the village, not to mention becoming superiors in the future. Shinobi will most likely be the backbone of Konoha's combat power.
If there is really a shortage of cannon fodder, other genin will usually be sent there first.
Kato Suan sighed helplessly and explained:
"The village is currently fighting on three fronts. Senior Sakumo is on the western front and is able to suppress Sunagakure. The Third Raikage on the northern front is also in a stalemate with the Third Raikage. The direction of the Rain Country has fallen into the quagmire of war. What's more, the village is still We need to defend Kirigakure on the eastern coastline, and with the years of war, we really lack manpower.”
"However, you are all important to the future of the village. If it is not necessary, the village will not let you be on the front line of the battlefield, because if it really comes to that point, it means that the village has no way out and can only fight to consume the future of the village. Take the risk of your potential to win this war."
Kato Dan's tone was quite heavy, but he soon changed his tone.
"Fortunately, when you go to the front line this time, the arrangement for you should be to transport logistical supplies and station and protect strategic materials in the village. You will not be sent to the front line so quickly to fight the enemy."
Kato Dan reluctantly cheered up his tone and patted the shoulders of the three disciples.
"Go back and say goodbye to your family and everything in the afternoon. We will meet at the No. [-] training ground at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to prepare your ninja tools and medicines."
Ming Jing and others nodded, each with different thoughts, returned home.
……
Uchiha clan land. "Are you even going to the front line?"
Uchihaha was still sitting in a familiar position, wiping the ninja sword in his hand.
"Well, Teacher Duan said that although we are on the front line, we should actually stay on the second line and be responsible for tasks such as logistics and material transportation, and we will not go directly to the battlefield."
Uchiha Yu finally put down the ninja sword in his hand and looked at the mirror.
"When the people on the front line have died, it will be your young people's turn to go up and die."
Having said this, Uchiha Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
"Compared to the first two generations of Hokage and Madara, the current third generation is indeed far behind, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of ability. Even Tobirama will never allow a child like you to be allowed to die before he dies. On to the battlefield.”
"It is a pity that the third generation seems to be the only one who has the ability to support Konoha at present, even if he can only barely support it."
From the era of Uchiha Tajima and Senju Buddha to the present, his rich experience has made Uchiha Ha see things very clearly.
The current Konoha seems to be extremely powerful and unparalleled in the limelight, but in his opinion, it is like a burning fire cooking oil.
If there is no new firewood, the fire will always fall. In order to maintain the seemingly grand fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the newly grown shoots into the fire.
However, it is true that only Sarutobi Hiruzen can support the position of Hokage in Konoha now, and maybe Hatake Sakumo can also do so in the future.
However, Uchiha Fei felt that although the Konoha White Fang's strength, military exploits and prestige were not lacking, he lacked background and his character was too upright, so he might not end up much better in the end.
At least, he couldn't play the third generation.
Just like Madara back then, Tobirama used political means to force him to be unable to hold the position of Hokage, and finally left Konoha.
Sooner or later in the future, the third generation, as a second generation disciple, will also use the same method to persecute Hatake Sakumo.
"perhaps……"
Uchiha Yu turned his attention to the mirror.
If he could open the same eyes as Madara and Izuna, and with the support of the Uchiha clan, would he have a chance to sit in that position? I just don’t know if I can wait until that day alive.
Not only to see if I can survive until that day, but also to see if Ming Jing can survive to that day.
"Mirror."
"Grandpa Yu, I'm here."
"Remember to go to the battlefield, don't lose the reputation of Uchiha, and... come back alive, you are the future of the family."
"I see!"
……
Konoha 35 years, winter.
On the street from the No. [-] training ground to the entrance of the village.
Uchiha Yu stood in the crowd, silently watching the team in front leave.
