I really don't want to be a ninja

When Bai Hechou and the others followed the caravan on their way to the Fire Capital.

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

Leiying Tower.

The second generation Raikage Ai stood in front of the large glass wall with his arms crossed, looking at the village outside in a daze.

He has dark skin, black hair, black eyes, and a lush black beard. His eyes are shining brightly under Lei Yin's protective forehead.

In front of others, he is the shadow of Leiyin Village. He is a man of great talent and strategy, with a strong and resolute personality and decisive actions.

He would only reveal his worries when there were few people behind his back.

"Whoosh!"

The third generation Ai, who had already received the name "Ai" and was selected as the next generation Raikage, appeared in the office.

"Ai, how is the investigation going?"

The second generation Raikage still looked outside and asked in a loud voice.

The third generation Ai Bai has white eyebrows and white hair, a beard, and a rough face. He has the word "Thunder" tattooed on his arm. He wears a white armor across his body and exposes most of his chest. He said in a loud voice:

"Lord Raikage, three people died in the village last night, two chuunin defected, one jounin and three genin disappeared."

"Well, those damn mice finally couldn't bear it anymore and are they going to jump out?"

The second-generation Raikage turned around, his black eyes flashing like thunder, and said in a deep voice:

"Seal the entire Kingdom of Thunder to me, and we must not let these rats pass on the information!"

"We have dispatched sentient ninjas and elite jounin. We will definitely kill them all before they escape from the Kingdom of Thunder."

The third generation Ai stood up straight, patted the big muscle tyrant, and said confidently.

"There is no guarantee that all the rats in the village have jumped out, and daily vigilance cannot be relaxed."

The second generation Raikage walked to the office desk and sat down, saying in a deep voice:

"Also, I would like to inform the two brothers, Jinjiao and Silverjiao, to be prepared. War may start at any time!"

"Understood, Raikage-sama, I'm going out to do some work."

Sandaimei nodded vigorously, turned around and left resolutely.

The second generation Raikage's face was expressionless, but his eyes were a little uncertain.

Why did he decide to start a war?

In fact, after the first Five Kage Conference, the superficial peace of the ninja world has been maintained for too long.

The daimyo and nobles who have been in the Kingdom of Thunder for a long time have forgotten the cruelty of war and are tired of the huge military expenditures every year.

With such a large share of military expenditure, it’s not good to do whatever you want. Wouldn’t it be better to spend it on having fun, eating, drinking, and having fun?

Therefore, they plan to reduce military spending and reduce the number of ninjas.

At the same time, after more than ten years of peace, a new generation of ninjas have grown up.

They are eager to shed their blood, eager to make achievements, eager for fame and wealth.

It’s just that the domestic tasks in the Kingdom of Thunder are no longer enough to support their desires and dreams.

If it doesn't work domestically, then we can only strive for demand internationally.

But internationally, the former God of Ninja shocked the Ninja world, and Konoha's strength was recognized by the entire Ninja world.

Yunyin's reputation is not enough. In terms of international tasks, he is just a little brother and has no core competitiveness.

Due to all this, the second generation wants to start a war.

He wanted the daimyo nobles to know the necessity of ninja existence.

He wants the new generation of ninjas who have grown up to be useful and establish their merits.

He wants the whole world to know that Konoha without the God of Ninja is just a paper tiger.

After all, he needs a large-scale war to divert the increasingly acute conflicts in the Kingdom of Thunder.

but.

To launch a large-scale war, you don't just slap your head, pull out a bunch of ninjas, and rush through it all the way.

Logistical support such as the mobilization of the ninja army, medical supplies, war equipment, food reserves, ninja protective gear, etc. all need to be prepared in advance.

Such a huge mobilization of materials must be impossible to hide from the spies hidden in Kumogakure from various countries.

If you can't hide it, then don't hide it. Just find out all the spies and kill them all.

Therefore, the second generation Raikage sealed off the entire village in advance, checked all personnel, uncovered all spies, and ensured that the information would not be leaked.

"For the future of the village, I can bear all the sins!"

The Nidaime Raikage walked to the glass wall again, looked at the bustling village, and said to himself.

...

Fire Nation.

The second day after setting off from Konoha.

Bai Hechou was carrying a backpack and sitting cross-legged on the roof of a carriage, his eyes flashing as he looked at the valley ahead.

"Stop, there's a situation ahead!"

With his amazing eyesight, he spotted the longing figures in the valley ten miles away, reflecting the unique cold light of the sword from time to time.

When I got closer, I couldn't see anyone. They must be hiding. This was very wrong.

"Hi!"

The driver immediately pulled the reins and stopped.

There was a panic inside the carriage, and soon the leader of the caravan came out of it with a displeased look on his face. He held his head high and asked in a bad tone:

"Why stop? Do you know how rushed I am? If I delay the delivery date, I will definitely deduct your corresponding commission."

"A group of people in front are laying an ambush. They are probably wandering ninjas. If you are not afraid of death, feel free to step forward."

Bai Hechou looked tired and said in a low tone.

Well, actually it was not his intention to make people angry.

It's just that the reputation that the assistant has collected from the caravan leader is so good.

Since setting off, the leader of the caravan has been very resentful towards the three little ones from Class 3, and has always provided Bai Hechou with +5 and +[-] reputation points.

It took so long that it was impossible to stop.

Under his influence, even the entire caravan became displeased with the three little ones.

Then, the reputation value increased even faster. Yesterday, it was worth nearly a thousand, which made Bai Hechou secretly feel happy.

Sure enough, taking missions and going out in the field is the right way to increase your reputation.

"A wandering ninja ambush?!"

The caravan leader's expression changed, and he looked at the calm valley ahead with surprise and uncertainty.

The caravan is most afraid of encountering the wave ninja.

The wave ninjas live in no fixed place and come and go like the wind. Once they have evil thoughts in their hearts, they will kill and loot.

Ordinary caravans are really hard to guard against.

"Is there a wave ninja? Then go and fight the wave ninja. You received my commission, aren't you responsible for solving this situation?!"

The leader of the caravan was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

"Hey... I know the content of the mission very well, so I stopped to avoid accidentally hurting your people later."

Since it is the task of protecting the caravan, the people and goods in the caravan must not be damaged.

Otherwise, the client can use the topic to his advantage and have reasons to deduct the commission.

At this time, Uchiha Kagami, who was responsible for cutting off the rear, and Hinata Kana and Bei Ruhu, who were responsible for the safety of the left and right sides, all appeared in an instant.

"Bai Hechou, have you noticed anything?"

Uchiha Jing stared solemnly at the valley ahead, and his many years of ninja career gave him a sense of vigilance.

"500 meters ahead, there is a group of unidentified ninjas ambushing them. I think they are wandering ninjas."

Bai Hechou jumped down from the top of the carriage and said calmly.

At this distance, unless the enemy has Kakuzu's magical skill that can release shurikens 800 meters away, it will basically not be able to affect the caravan.
