I spread darkness from Hokage

After talking about the chores, Qianharu's expression became serious. He spread out a map in his hand, glanced at the three people and said:

"You all should know that due to the mobilization of troops, we and Yu Ren have been in a phase of mutual testing recently. Both sides are exercising restraint. It can only be said that there is a small friction.

But this kind of calm is only temporary. Neither the village nor the daimyo will let this war continue forever, so what we have to do today is to conduct frontline reconnaissance and prepare for future large-scale encounters. "

Then he drew a circle on the map, marked the scope of the mission, gave a few instructions, then his eyes flashed, and he said coldly:

"This is roughly the situation. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The three of them responded in unison.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's go."

After speaking, he made a gesture and led the three of them north.

This is the Country of Rain. Leaving the Suna Ninja Camp means entering enemy-occupied territory. Although the great master Chiharu is escorting them, for the sake of safety, the speed of the four of them cannot be considered fast and can only be said to be average.

Compared with its neighboring countries, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, although the Kingdom of Rain is a small country, its economic development is pretty good because of the constant rain and no shortage of water, and many places are even quite wealthy.

For people like Ye Yu who are used to seeing sand castles and mud houses in the Kingdom of Wind, occasionally seeing tall tower-like buildings in foreign countries has a unique flavor. They are two different feelings.

But for now, most of the buildings in the Kingdom of Rain are still piles of rubble, with not a single human figure at all. The towering buildings are crumbling, and there is an extraordinarily dead feeling.

This is a corner of the war. Except for the core area controlled by the Rain Ninja Village, the rest of the Country of Rain basically looks like this.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ones that were defeated first will always suffer the worst from the small countries sandwiched between the big countries. Without strong enough force, even if they have money and resources, they are just a dish on the table of the big countries.

The leaders of the five major countries like to blame the crimes of the war on Sanho Hanzo, who was the first to provoke the war. However, to a group of small countries, Sanho Hanzo can definitely be called the awakened generation, a truly progressive youth.

He is fully aware of the uneven development among the countries in the ninja world, and understands the truth that no matter how hard a small country tries, it will inevitably end up on the battlefield of a big country.

If you want to change the current situation of the Rain Country, you can only become the group of people who formulate the rules like the five major countries in the ninja world, and the only way to achieve this goal is war.

This road is halfway through. His strength, or the toughness of the Kingdom of Rain, has indeed made the five major countries look at him with admiration. Even the most powerful Fire Nation has to treat it as an opponent, and no longer Toy.

This kind of treatment can be said to be unique among the small countries in the ninja world.

However, the changes in the Land of Rain only stop here. Although Sansho Hanzo is strong, he is not strong enough to be able to overwhelm the entire ninja world by himself like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

The gap in national power is real, and the Kingdom of Rain simply cannot make up for this gap with its strength. As the war continues today, it is only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Rain loses.

If you want to become the rule maker of the ninja world, you can work hard in the Rain Kingdom in Pain's era, but it is simply impossible in the Rain Kingdom in other eras.

……

"stop."

Walking in front, Qianharu suddenly raised his right hand and whispered to several people:

"Stop, everyone, be careful. There are signs of ninja activity nearby."

Hearing this, Ye Yu squatted down, twisted the soil on the ground with his right hand, and nodded.

"Indeed, this soil is new. We must have just left there not long ago. The enemy may be nearby."

After hearing Qianharu's words and Ye Yu's addition, Yashamaru and Yashamaru's hearts instantly lifted. They stared at Qianharu, hoping that she could give them an answer.

Although the two of them were full of pride before leaving the village, dreaming about making great achievements and becoming famous tomorrow, but the fantasy was a fantasy and the reality was reality. They still felt a little embarrassed when they actually encountered the enemy.

Chiharu glanced at the mud on the ground and nodded.

"Ye Yu is right, the enemy is nearby."

Hearing Chiharu's affirmative answer, the corners of Kusube Takuto's mouth turned blue, and his eyes unconsciously wandered to Chiharu, obviously treating her as his protector.

Seeing Kusu Takuto in such a state, Chiharu's eyes were half-squinted, and the expression on her face was very cold.

"This is the first collective mission for the three of you. Don't expect me to protect you like children. Since you are on the battlefield, you must be mentally prepared to die. I will try to give you as many opportunities as possible to perform. If you die because of this, don’t blame me.”

Staring into Chiharu's eyes, Takuto Kusube felt shuddering, and that kind of indifference didn't seem like hypocrisy.

Yashamaru's face was also livid, as if he didn't expect Chiharu to say that, but Ye Yu's face remained as usual.

Firstly, because he is quite confident in his own strength. If he were just genin and chuunin, they would not be able to do anything to him. Secondly, he has confidence in Qianharu. Although his words are a bit cruel, they are just words. If they are taken seriously, they are not. Because, Qianharu couldn't watch them die in vain.

Taking out the short knife from his waist, Ye Yu made a gesture directly to the two of them.

"Don't hesitate here. Go over there and find the person first."

Saying that, Ye Yu took the lead and touched along the traces of soil.

Yashamaru and Kusube Takuto looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and seemed to have summoned up great courage. They took out a kunai from their pockets and had no choice but to follow Ye Yu's direction.

After walking about 500 meters, finally, a few vaguely visible figures appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Hiding in an old building, it seemed that their identities were the same as those of Ye Yu and the others, they were the advance troops who came to survey the terrain.

This is nothing unusual. There are many ninjas who take on reconnaissance missions. Almost every day, hostile ninjas will meet on the way and then fight.

In recent days, battle losses and achievements have been accumulated slowly based on such chance encounters.

Since we met on the battlefield, there was absolutely no reason to let each other go.

The clouds are shrouded, the sky is a bit gloomy today, and it is raining unhappily. Both parties are in a natural disguise.

Lowering his body, Ye Yu glanced left and right at Yashamaru and Kusube Takuto.

"One for each of you, and leave the rest to me."

The two looked at each other, not daring to refute, but just nodded. On the battlefield, the weak obey the strong. This is something like instinct.

After simply deciding on the battle plan, the three of them took advantage of the sky and the cover to move over.

100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters, suddenly, dozens of bitters fell towards the three people like rain.
