Naruto God Tree Arrives

The third generation took a puff of his pipe and sighed: "Unfortunately, the major businessmen and financial groups did not intend to give up their armed forces, but chose to make up for the deficit in another way."

"Another way? Does it mean robbing civilians?" Shen Shu and the ninjas in the hall were very curious.

The third generation shook his head and said: "It's even more cruel and worse than this! They capture young children, train them into slaves, and sell them as servants to the nobles of various countries."

The Warring States Period in the ninja world has only ended for more than 20 years, so many habits are still continuing, such as the aristocratic system and the slavery system. Nobles can own their own slaves and decide their life and death at a single word, but slaves have no right to resist.For example, the Senju clan has a small number of domestic servants, but now few civilians are willing to work as servants for nobles, so they mostly rely on the children of their own servants to supplement their numbers, so naturally there are fewer and fewer servants.

"What? If the major financial groups dare to act like this, they must have the tacit approval of the nobles and daimyo? No wonder the daimyo is indifferent to this matter! It is really dirty politics to reach a tacit agreement with bandits!" Naoki said with a look of disgust. said.

The third generation sighed again: "The daimyo himself cannot fully control the country, and has to make compromises under the pressure of the major nobles."

Naoshu said with a serious face: "Anyway, this matter originated from the village. Since someone has already commissioned it, why hasn't it been resolved yet?"

"Because the mission is very difficult. There are rebels among these bandits and they also use civilian children as hostages. It is very difficult to eliminate them. However, these civilians who were victimized are not rich, and the reward they can scrape together is barely 5 taels. The minimum standard for remuneration for level [-] tasks. And there are more victims who cannot afford the remuneration at all, so no ninja in the village is willing to take on these tasks. After all, ninjas have to risk their lives." Sandai said in a difficult voice, obviously he also I sympathize with the civilians, but I just can't force the ninjas in the village to accept these tasks.

Shengshu looked at the other members of the team, and then said resolutely: "Since everything happened because of us, we must seek justice for these victimized civilians. I decided to accept these crusade missions to rescue all the hostages, and for The Fire Nation must get rid of these cancers! Because Konoha is the guardian of the Fire Nation! I ask for your support!"

"No problem, Naoki! These bandits are so abominable!" Shinnosuke was the first to support.

"In order to maintain the belief of guardianship, let us fight together!" Uchiha Hikaru also agreed with Naoki's point of view.

"Let us spend our youth and blood for the sake of Konoha!" Dai certainly wanted to support the teacher's decision.

"Now that you have made your decision, of course I, as the guiding jounin, cannot stop it." Akimichi Tifeng also nodded in agreement.

After getting everyone's support, the tree said confidently: "As long as everyone works together, we will be able to complete these tasks! Lord Hokage, leave these tasks to us!"

"You must think clearly. The village does not know the specific strength of these bandits very well. There may be Jonin strength hidden among them! Even so, do you still want to accept the mission?" Sandai asked with a serious face.

"Lord Hokage, I once said that with great power comes great responsibility. It is our responsibility to protect the Land of Fire, isn't it? Since the daimyo and nobles cannot fulfill their responsibilities, let Konoha take their place!" Shu said meaningfully.

Hearing the double entendre of the rope tree, Sandai and Akimichi Tifeng's eyes lit up, and they remembered the rope tree's words about taking the wind.

With the plan to rule the Fire Country on behalf of the daimyo, maybe this time Konoha can take the opportunity to win over the civilians of the Fire Country and undermine the popularity of the daimyo and the nobles? Nawaki is indeed very keen on the overall situation.

"In this case, these tasks will be left to you. We must try our best to ensure the safety of the hostages!" Sandai and Akimichi Tifeng exchanged a look and said solemnly.

"Yes! Hokage-sama!" Naoki and others responded in unison.

Akimichi Torifu took the task list from Naoki, looked at it and took it back, "This time Naoki will make the plan. His IQ can be compared with that of the Nara clan leader! I just want to cooperate fully!"

With the support of Akimichi Tifeng, Naoki directly ordered without hesitation: "In this case, everyone should go home and prepare. Remember to bring your own ninja tools and take off your load. This mission is difficult and must be done with all your strength." Let’s go. Give everyone an hour to prepare and meet at the gate of the village in an hour!”

"Yes!"

Whoosh whoosh, everyone quickly dispersed and left.Only the genin class was left talking about it.

Seeing how noisy they were, Sandai frowned and banged his pipe hard, "Quiet! Are you free? Finish the task as soon as you accept it, don't waste time here!"

Not everyone has the same confidence to disobey the Hokage as Nawaki and Shinnosuke. These genin are all in awe of the third generation. Seeing his majestic reprimand, they all obeyed and left to complete the task.

Looking at the deviant people, the third generation nodded with satisfaction. How great would it be if everyone were so obedient? Thinking of someone, he had a headache again, "Go and arrange an ANBU team, and we will set off with them in an hour. Remember, we must We must ensure their safety! Especially Rope Tree, even if we sacrifice everyone, we must ensure that he survives!"

A masked ANBU walked out of the shadows, knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes! Hokage-sama!" and then used the teleportation technique to leave.

"I hope everything goes well." Sandai murmured to himself as he looked at the sky outside the window.

An hour later, all members of the Rope Tree team gathered at the entrance of the village.

"Go north, talk as you go." After seeing everyone gathered, Shengshu took the lead and ran towards the north, followed by the others. They jumped on the branches quickly and soon disappeared deep into the dense forest.

Not long after they left, a group of ANBU chased them in the same direction.

"Swish, swish..." The trees around them disappeared quickly, and the rope tree and his group moved dexterously through the woods. Even the "voluptuous" autumn path was extremely flexible.

"Noseki, where are we going?" Shinnosuke, who has the most straightforward personality, couldn't help but ask.

"Through the mission intelligence, we already know the specific locations of these dozen groups of bandits. The group closest to us is hundreds of miles away to the east of the village." Shengshu replied.

"Then why don't we go directly to the east? But we have to go north?" Shinnosuke asked in confusion.

"Hokage-sama once said that the bandits in the Fire Country are far more than the dozen or so groups on the mission. So I speculate that these bandits have their own territories and are entrenched near various traffic arteries in the Fire Country. It is convenient for them to rob the caravan. And after a long confrontation, the bandits of the major business groups should have reached a tacit understanding. Even if they are not in contact with each other, they should send people to keep an eye on the neighboring gangs." Shengshu explained patiently road.
