I'm in Konoha's Lie Flat Simulator

Chapter 65 Composing a poem in Platycodon City

On the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind, tens of kilometers deeper, there is a Platycodon Mountain with a Platycodon City on the mountain.

This is a dangerous place that is used as a military fortress. As long as you control this place, you can use it as the center to protect strategic targets within a radius of dozens of miles.

This makes Sunagakure Village unable to take a single step towards the Land of Fire, and is firmly doomed on the border.

And this ancient city left behind thousands of years ago has changed hands several times in countless battles. You attack and I defend, you defend and I attack, and no one can take advantage of it for a long time.

Sunagakure has never been a weak village, let alone only 1/4 of Konoha's strength.

Fortunately, when Class [-] arrived at Mount Kikyo, Kikyo City was still in the hands of Konoha and they would not have to participate in a brutal siege.

"Stop! What kind of work are you doing!" asked the Konoha guard of Platycodon City.

"I am Kosuke Maruboshi, responsible for the team transporting the supply truck. They are all members of Class [-] who have just graduated..." Kosuke Maruboshi handed over the mission scroll.

"Kosuke Maruboshi?...Oh, that ten thousand year genin, your mission is to transport the supply truck. Where is the supply truck?" The guard looked at the scroll and then looked behind them.

"Halfway... I was robbed." Maruhoshi Kosuke's old face was a bit confused.

Yuluo and the three of them scratched their heads and looked around to relieve their embarrassment.

"Okay... it's okay as long as everyone is fine." The guarding ninja could only comfort them like this, checking the identities of the four people and then letting them go.

Before anyone could go far, another guard's complaining voice still reached the ears of several people: "It's true that genin leads genin, waste leads waste, even a C-level transportation mission can fail."

"Okay, don't talk anymore. These are just kids who have just graduated. It's good to get here safely."

"Am I wrong? We are fighting desperately here, but we can't even secure any supplies in the back. What is it if it's not trash?"

"Asshole...what did they say!" Ebisu clenched his fists and became furious.

"Child, you have to prove yourself with actions, not words, nor fists against your own people." Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled and touched Ebisu's head.

"Obviously the enemy is so strong... we managed to survive with great difficulty." Ebisu was still not convinced.

"At times like this, just accept your bad luck and go back and argue what else you can do besides being humiliated." Yuluo whistled very relaxedly, curiously observing everything in Platycodon City.

This is an ancient city with a long history that can be traced back thousands of years. Due to the severe desertification of the Kingdom of Wind, no one has lived in it for a long time. Only the mottled adobe houses are left to tell the traces of the years, as well as the countless houses that have been destroyed by the wind. The city wall, which was destroyed and repaired again and again, denounced the barbarity of the invaders.

If Yu Luo was a poet, he would definitely compose a poem like this.

"What a beautiful Platycodon Castle. It's so majestic. If there is a miko, it must be Platycodon!"

There is a medium layer of fine sand on the ground, and occasionally half-brown mummies are exposed. They are residents who starved to death here thousands of years ago. Their severely dehydrated bodies have allowed these remains to be preserved in the cruel years.

Originally, their fate should have been displayed in the museum like Loulan's mummy. Unfortunately, people in this chaotic ninja world are impetuous. Everyone is tired of seeing fresh corpses, and they are not interested in seeing corpses from thousands of years ago, even those in cold weather. Sometimes they would dig out mummies from the sand and throw them into the fire as firewood.

……

"Teacher... let's take you to the medical ninja to help you treat your injuries first." Hinata Natsu helped Maruboshi Kosuke.

"There is no need to bother the medical ninjas with this minor injury. Let them save their energy to treat the wounded who need more treatment. I will just go back and apply some medicine. Let's go and hand in the mission first." Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled and said He looks like a completely good old guy.

Following Kosuke Maruboshi, we came to a closed area south of the center of Platycodon City. In front of a relatively intact stone hall, a wooden sign was hung on the wall, reading: "Logistics and Military Supplies Department."

"This is the task handover point for our material transportation team. Just wait outside... The quartermaster's temper is not very good." Maruhoshi Kosuke forced a smile.

"Okay." Yu Luo was not interested in being scolded either.

Kosuke Maruhoshi walked into the munitions department alone, and within just a few words, roaring curses came from inside.

"C-level mission! Five trucks of living supplies!!"

"Even if four dogs are tied up, we can escort him!"

"You can be considered a veteran genin!"

"How damn can a C-level mission fail!!!"

"Don't you know what our frontline ninjas use to wipe their butts?"

……

He kept blaming and didn't ask about the reason for the failure. Maruhoshi Kosuke just nodded and promised to complete the next mission.

Ebisu and Hinata Natsu were both very dissatisfied, but Yuluo was the only one who was calm.

Only old social workers know that this is the correct way to respond to the boss's criticism. Complaining about difficulties will only get scolded harder. Listening to the blame silently, thinking about where to go to the izakaya to drink at night. When the boss scolds you until you run out of words, you can It's over.

"Go back and wait for orders! It's really useless. No wonder he is still a genin ten thousand years old." After a curse, Maruhoshi Kosuke finally walked out.

There was no displeasure on his face, and he was still smiling: "Okay, I'll take you to the camp to rest for a while."

"Teacher, isn't that guy inside too arrogant?" Ebisu said displeased.

"Haha... It's all for the future of Konoha. The supplies were robbed and the chief officer was anxious. It's natural for us to be blamed for the failure of our delivery mission." Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled.

"They must have a strong background, right?" Yu Luo said casually, holding the back of his head.

Maruhoshi Kosuke was slightly startled: "Why do you ask that?"

"If a person like this doesn't get poked in the back with a kunai on the battlefield, he either has strong strength or a strong background." Yuluo whistled.

"Haha, indeed, several quartermasters are from the village's big business families, and even three generations have to rely on their financial resources." Maruhoshi Kosuke showed a little bitterness.

"Is there actually a chaebol in Konoha?" This was the first time Yuluo heard about it.

"You don't need to think too much about these things. The responsibility of us ninjas is to fight. Before we don't have the strength to change everything, we should practice well." Maruhoshi Kosuke's back became even more stooped.

Yuluo inexplicably thought of Germany after World War I. Soldiers were working hard on the front line, but the Youtai capitalists behind were making money. It was best that after the war, even the houses of the soldiers were confiscated when they returned home.

At the same time, I also thought that after the Second Ninja War, Konoha clearly won, but the death pension for my parents was delayed again and again. After finally being paid, the original 5 taels per bowl of ramen had increased to 20 taels. Pensions were directly reduced by more than half.

Judging from the teacher's tone, could it be that these quartermasters are also sucking Konoha's blood?

If it is true.

It seems that Konoha's street lights are missing some decorations.
