Konoha Ninja Akali

"Is it true?" Akali replied tentatively.

"That's right!" Nara Shumu nodded firmly.

"Konoha has developed very well in recent years, but these developments only exist within the village and the overall strength of Konoha. There has been peace for too long, and border posts like this have gradually become useless."

"You say it's important. It seems to be more important, but you say it's useful? It doesn't feel that useful. What would you do if it were Konoha?"

Nara Shumu asked, and Akali thought along his train of thought.

"I need this outpost, but I don't need it very much, so I don't need it to be useful, I just need it to exist, so I just need to give it the funds and personnel to exist?"

"Pa!" Nara Shumu snapped his fingers: "That's it!"

"But if you want the horses to run but don't let them eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world? So, the village reached a tacit understanding with these outposts!"

Nara Shumu said with some sarcasm.

"What tacit understanding?" Akali asked.

"The right to act independently!" Nara Shumu said:

"Within the allowed scope, they can seek supplies on their own. Whether they are doing private work or farming their own land, ninjas can do a lot more than ordinary people. As long as they work hard, they will definitely not die of hunger!"

"So, the chief officer of this kind of base needs to be able to lead hundreds of people to survive. If you don't have the ability to support your subordinates, you won't be able to become the chief officer!"

"That fat cat is very powerful?" Akali understood.

"Yes, so don't judge people by their appearance in the future, little Qianjue!"

Nara Shumu joked, and then he became serious again: "In the ninja world, there is nothing strange about what they look like, but if you judge a person based on his appearance, you may suffer a big loss in the future!"

"I understand!" Akali secretly reflected. She did indeed expand a bit as her strength gradually became stronger. Whether it is mentality or external performance, it is very dangerous to have preconceived impressions on people.

"Speaking of which, if the village gives such a strong autonomy, aren't you afraid that the border troops will lose control?" Akali asked again. There were not many permanent troops left at the base when they went there, and most of them were obviously gone.

"Haha!" Regarding Akali's question, Nara Shumu just smiled with unknown meaning, and then looked at Akali with a strange look.

"What's wrong?" Akali asked strangely.

"What do you think these ninjas sent here are?" Nara Shumu asked in an incomprehensible tone.

"What..." Akali thought hard.

"Cannon fodder, cannon fodder in wartime, and beacon fire in peacetime, they are insignificant things to the village anyway!" Before Akali could come up with an answer, Nara Shumu asked himself.

"Even if they defect collectively, they will still be cannon fodder when they get to Kirigakure."

"For the village, those who are truly talented will not be sent here. Just like you, you alone are more important to the village than the 300 people over there!"

"In the world of ninjas, it is the strong who decide the future after all!"

Akali was silent, this world is so cruel.

Unexpectedly, as her strength and knowledge as a ninja increased, she would be taught a lesson in concepts.It's not that she didn't know some things, but she didn't think about them.

The world of ninjas is so real and cruel, Akali secretly warned herself to adapt.

"Let's go and meet the grassland and the others!" Nara Shumu flicked Akali's mask, interrupting her thinking.

After walking for a while, the two people who stopped for chatting arrived at the gathering place.

"Were you nine or 11 years old when you last wet the bed?" Qiu Daotangbei asked.

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!" Nara Shumu was right at odds with the secret code.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Qiu Daotangbei asked. Logically speaking, it shouldn't take so long to get information.

"After chatting for a while, I got some detailed information. I found out that the base manager is a powerful person!"

"Come, come here, let's talk about what we are going to do tomorrow!" Nara Shumu said holding the drawing.

……

ANBU Code Article [-]: Develop a good habit of carefully checking every door you see before entering. If it doesn't work, send the weakest person to try.

Early the next morning, Akali and Nara Shumu set out to explore the nearest outpost.

Although the ANBU code stated that the weakest person should be allowed to test for information, this was not Konoha's style. Akali was strong, and Nara Shumu was smart, intelligent, and resourceful, so he was the best candidate.

The purpose of grouping into two groups is so that when one group of people is trapped in a tight siege, the other group of people can attack and support them without being ambushed and annihilated.

Soon, the two came to the first coastal outpost, which was the one farther inland.

"Who is this!" shouted the tall and thin chuunin on the sentry tower.

"Anbu!" Nara Shumu said calmly, while the two of them looked at the sentry tower and the people in it.

It can be seen that this sentry tower is quite old. The steel supports are full of rust, and the wooden ladder to climb is almost rotten. Under the sentry tower is a dilapidated wooden house for resting. Looking through the unobstructed window, there are very few things inside. Pitiful.

The clothes of the ninja who persisted were washed white, the chuunin vests were shabby, and their spirits were low. Akali did not see the ninja tools in the ninja tool bag, but there must not be too many.

There are only two people on duty in the four-person sentry tower. Akali has some doubts about the effectiveness of this sentry. Can two people really guard it?

"Anbu?" From the wooden house under the sentry tower, a ninja wearing a worn-out chuunin vest came out. He seemed to have just stayed up all night, his face was exhausted, and his eyes were still a little red from staying up late: "What ANBU?"

"What? Don't the ninjas of Konoha even recognize ANBU?" Nara Shumu asked in surprise.

"Of course, we are in this bitter cold place with the wind blowing day after day. How can we see the noble ANBU master coming and going!" The man said in a strange way.

"Then you have seen it now!" Nara Shumu was not annoyed, but followed the other person's words.

To be honest, the person Akali knows best these days is Shumu Nara. He is obviously a prominent member of the ninja clan and a genius in his own right. However, he is not arrogant at all when facing these low-level ninjas, and he still has sympathy for them.

"Hmph!" He punched Kongzhong, and the man only grunted in displeasure: "Tell me, why are the ANBU adults here? And give me your identity documents!"

Nara Shumu handed over the documents, not only theirs, but also the certificate given by the previous base.

Nara Shumu talked with the outpost ninja while Akali listened.

how to say?Very angry!

Especially the comparison with Akali, her visible youth caused a critical blow to the depressed and low-status outpost ninja.

Years of boring guarding, poor supplies that can only be reduced in size, and a status that grandma doesn't care about and uncle doesn't care about.

You said that if there was any movement in Kirigakure that you needed to be alert, that was all. In fact, there had been no movement at all for more than ten years. You couldn't even convince yourself that what you were doing was important. It was simply dispensable.

Akali really saw the life of low-level ninjas. These people relied on seniority to reach the chuunin level.

There is no hope in life and no meaning in work. If these people still cling to it, they may really have the will of fire.

"Thank you for the information, it helps us a lot!"

Finally, Nara Shumu said goodbye.

"Let's go, the next one!"

Nara Shumu and Akali continue to move forward.
