I really don't want to be Hokage

The next day, noon.

After wandering around the camp all morning, Nara Shikagi had an incomplete understanding of the situation in the frontline camp.

He learned that there had been no less than ten small-scale battles between the front line and Sand Hidden Village in the past six months, and there were countless battles between single teams.

As the friction intensified, the situation on the front line became increasingly tense, and it seemed that it was close to combat readiness.

This is also the most important reason why all members of their No. 20 second squad have been transferred to the front line, because the front line needs to add some mid-to-high-end combat power.

Among the more than 400 ninjas on the front line, there are less than twenty jounin and more than 70 chuunin, and the rest are ordinary genin. The combination of one elite jounin, one jounin, and two chuunin in the second class of No. 20 is as effective as ten chuunin teams on the front line.

Of course, No. 20's second class was too busy, which was also the reason for being "arranged".

In addition to No. 20 Class [-], Hiruzen Sarutobi will also arrange for other elite ninjas to come to the front line to take charge of duty.

If the two sides reach the point where war is inevitable, the number of ninjas on the front line will surge from less than 500 to 3000.

During lunch time, Nara Shikaki had nothing to do. He continued to ask a genin part-time cook in the camp: "Do you know the recent situation with Sunagakure Village?"

"Sir, are you new to the front line?" the genin chef asked with some doubts.

Because of the Jonin vest Nara Shikaki wore and the iconic pineapple head of the Konoha Nara clan, he maintained a respectful attitude towards Nara Shikaki.

"Well, I just arrived yesterday." Nara Shikaki nodded.

"Recently, there have been frequent battles between us and Sunagakure. In the past few months, more than a dozen people have been killed and dozens injured." The genin chef answered honestly.

As a chef who stays in the camp every day and is responsible for cooking, he can hear new battle reports for three meals a day.

"There are less than 500 people in total. In the past few months, more than a dozen people have been killed and dozens of people injured. The ratio is too high." Hearing the words of the genin chef, Nara Shikaki couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This data means that the casualty rate has reached more than ten percent.

You know, it's still just friction between frontline troops, and the war hasn't even started yet.

"The number of Suna ninja casualties is greater than ours." The genin chef quickly added when he saw Nara Shikaki's frown.

"Do you think based on the current situation, will we and Suna Ninja be at war in the near future?" Nara Shikaki nodded and continued to ask the genin chef.

"Probably not." The genin chef said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Nara Shikaki nodded with a smile, and then praised the genin chef: "By the way, your cooking is very good."

"Sir, I am a ninja." The genin chef couldn't help but said.

Rather than being praised for his excellent cooking, he would rather take off his chef uniform and put on a ninja uniform to fight.

However, he knew that his wish would not be realized in the short term, because many people said that his cooking was delicious and he had become the "number one chef" on the entire front line.

"A ninja who doesn't want to be a chef is not a good teacher, come on." Nara Shikaki smiled and patted the Genin chef on the shoulder, then turned and left.

At night, the second squad of No. 20 was assembled in the camp.

"The mission is all clear." Akimichi Dingguo said to the three people from Nara Shikaki in front of him with a serious face.

Although on weekdays he and the three of Nara Shikoshi were laughing and joking, during the execution of the mission, he always asked the three of Nara Shikoshi to stay vigilant and not to take anything lightly.

"Clear." The three of them responded.

"In that case, let's set off." After Qiu Dao Dingguo finished speaking, he took the lead in opening the curtain and walking out of the camp.

The three of Nara Shikagi followed immediately.

This time, their mission was to go "all the way west" for several kilometers, on duty less than ten kilometers away from the Suna Ninja's frontline camp, to detect the Suna Ninja's movements.

This location is the closest to the Suna Ninja camp, and it is also the most dangerous mission.

Akimichi Tifeng clearly made such an arrangement with sufficient consideration.

With the strength of No. 20 Class [-], even if they encounter several high-level consultants from Sunagakure Village headed by Chiyo, they will still be able to fight.

Unless the third generation Kazekage, who is known as the "strongest Kazekage in history", breaks the peace treaty with Konoha Village without any reason and goes out personally, No. 20 Class [-] will be easily defeated.

Therefore, Class 20 No. [-] is the most suitable candidate for duty at this point.
