Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

Konoha Village is located in the western part of the Land of Fire. In fact, it is still very close to the border compared to Kyoto.

By the way, the distance between Konoha Village and the Sand Village in the Kingdom of Wind is actually the closest among the five major ninja villages. This is why basically at the beginning of every Ninja World War, the ninjas of the Sand Village in the Kingdom of Wind would get excited and immediately attack Konoha Village.

Although Konoha Village is very strong on paper, the defensive pressure on Konoha Village is also great!

For example, although they have the Wind Country, which is the largest country in the world, and the Wind Country is so large that it can even exceed the territory of other countries by two! However, the enemies faced by Sand Village are only Rock Village and Konoha Village. The Bird Country and River Country, which serve as buffers between the big countries, do not even have an established ninja village, and pose no threat at all.

Slightly above the left side of the Ninja Realm is the Rock Village of the Land of Earth. Logically, it should be facing the pressure of the Sand Village of the Land of Wind, the pressure of the Leaf Village of the Land of Fire, and finally the pressure of the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning.

However, unfortunately - or rather coincidentally - the borders of the Land of Earth are basically filled with small countries.

Most of these small countries with small land areas are not easy to mess with.

For example, in the Hidden Rain Village, there was once an active Hanzo of the Salamander who had the title of "Demi-God" and was extremely powerful.

For example, Takigakure Village, this ninja village possesses the sacred object [Water of Heroes], and what’s even more outrageous is that they have the tailed beasts!

The only thing left for the defense was the tiny Kusagakure Village.

These small countries just happened to serve as buffer zones between the large ninja villages, so Konoha's attack on the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth was something that was bound to be discovered in advance - a large-scale attack.

Moreover, Konoha Village basically has to defend against pressure from four other countries at the same time.

He had to defend the Kingdom of Wind and the Hidden Rock Village. Even the Hidden Mist Village in the Kingdom of Water on the other side of the ocean would occasionally try to come to the border of the Kingdom of Fire to take advantage of him.

This means that although Konoha Village is recognized as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, whether in terms of paper strength or the quality and number of real ninjas, it is well-deserved to be the first. But there is nothing you can do, there are 4 of them against you!

Therefore, when the Ninja World War broke out, it was not the most powerful Konoha Village that started it. What was frustrating was that Konoha Village was often the one that was attacked and beaten.

However, after a stalemate of several years, Konoha Village defeated the ninja villages of various countries one by one by flexibly mobilizing its forces, and the world had to achieve peace again.

Since the borders of the five major countries in the ninja world are so vast and long, and the number of ninjas is relatively scarce, of course no country would choose to arrange ninjas evenly in the border areas like piles of stones.

First, the first situation: there are not enough ninjas.

The second situation: The wars between ninjas have now entered an era of group cooperation. Unless some powerful ninjas who are too powerful take action, the battles between countries and villages are all carried out by ninja groups.

If the Hokage of Konoha Village really lost his mind and evenly spread the ninjas of Konoha Village in the border area, hey! Well, then the enemy ninja village will definitely gather a large army, divide and surround them, and form an absolute advantage in the local area. In this way, no matter how many ninjas of Konoha Village there are, they will not be enough for others to kill!

Therefore, the unified practice of each ninja village is to deploy ninja teams one after another unevenly in the border areas.

With powerful perception ninjas as the main core and irregular periodic patrols, a small border perception unit is formed. It is impossible to make accurate judgments on those ninjas who sneak in in twos and threes.

But it can definitely detect the large enemy ninja troops in advance, so that the village can respond early.

what?

I wonder why in the original work, the Village of Sound and the Village of Sand were able to sneak in with a large force to carry out the plan to destroy Konoha?

First of all, not many people actually infiltrated, and that was because they were participating in the Chunin Exam disguised themselves as other people, and finally gathered outside the Konoha Village. The combat units were basically only ninjas. Moreover, at that time, the Daimyo of the Wind Country kept cutting the ninja funding for the Sand Village, resulting in a smaller and smaller number of ninjas in the Sand Village.

Why learn something that doesn’t make money?

And the main purpose of the fight was to take the enemy by surprise, with the combat force concentrated on Orochimaru and the runaway One-Tail Shukaku.

If they really gathered a large force, Konoha Village would have wiped them out in one fell swoop. Even if it was part of Konoha's collapse plan, the reason why the Konoha Village ninjas were caught off guard at the beginning was because the Third Hokage spread all the ninjas in the village evenly throughout the village.

The advantage is that they gathered together quickly to fight against the enemy, but the disadvantage is that the important high-level figures were not well guarded, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen died in the battle.

Back to the border, in this situation, within a large area, the ninjas of Konoha Village cannot actually take care of too many things, and their main task is to monitor the enemy's ninja army. As for some small and scattered wandering ninjas or some bandits, robbers, and wanted criminals, if they encounter them, they will of course take action to deal with them severely, capture them or kill them on the spot.

But if they hadn't met them, the ninjas in the border area of ​​Konoha Village would not have gone out of their way to be chivalrous and take great pains to find bandit nests to break into and end the lives of these criminals.

However, within these large areas, there are undoubtedly many cities, towns and villages. If by chance, bandit gangs or wanted criminals appear around the gathering place, Konoha Village will issue C-level and above tasks in the Hokage Building and give them to Konoha Village under the commission of the village chief or town mayor.

Just happened to be picked up by a Chunin or Genin to go and suppress the bandits. In this case, it not only reduced the pressure on the ninja forces of Konoha Village, but also made good arrangements for the locals. The local nobles only had to pay a negligible reward for the mission.

Although most of the local residents are poor, they are still rich for those in power, and it is more than enough to issue a C-level mission.

After all, in Konoha Village - no, it should be said that the entire ninja world, there is a relatively common set of task levels and reward division standards.

After the task is completed, the reward for a D-level task is between 5000 and 5 taels, which is considered a relatively low-level task.

The most common ones are escort missions, cargo escorts, which are similar to express delivery missions. They are relatively easy, and you have to take the main roads all the way, so there is no danger. There are also missions issued by some wealthy wives of the ninja clan in the village, such as looking for cats and dogs, looking for children, harvesting crops, clearing rivers, and so on. Basically, any young and strong person can complete them.

After the mission is completed, the reward is between 3 and 10 taels, which is considered the mainstream of ninja missions.

This level is also the main source of income for the ninjas of Konoha Village. The number of missions is not much less than that of D-level, but the rewards are extremely generous. The only difference is that there is a possibility that [ninjas may be injured during the mission].

In other words, carrying out the mission here is not just a formality, it is very likely that real knife work will be required.

After the mission is completed, the reward is between 8 ryo and 20 ryo, which is a relatively difficult B-level mission. Generally speaking, the minimum ninja level that can be accepted for a B-level mission is Chunin.

Genin basically has no qualifications to take on B-rank missions.

The rest are relatively the least in number, but once you complete one, it will be a mission that will last for three years if you don't open the business for a year! After the mission is completed, the reward is between 150,000 ryo and 1 million ryo, which is called A-level mission. Generally speaking, only jonin can complete it. The risk is too high, and casualties among the team's chunin are common.

The last level is the legendary S-level mission. If there is a reward, its reward must be at least 100 million taels!

However, S-level missions are often more honor-oriented, usually involving special circumstances such as state secrets or village secrets. The village will issue S-level missions to recruit senior ninjas to perform.

For example, in the original work, Jiraiya discussed with Tsunade that he would go to the Hidden Rain Village to spy on the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization. He took the risk alone and lurked in the Hidden Rain Village, which was much stronger than a small ninja village and might be comparable to the five major ninja villages, especially the Akatsuki organization. Even a powerful Kage-level warrior like Jiraiya [Kageki] could not guarantee that he would escape unscathed, so this mission was well-deserved S-level.

It must be said that Asuma Sarutobi's head is really valuable! 3000 million taels!

This time, the C-rank mission that Hyuga Neji and his team 3 received was to suppress bandits. The mission reward was pretty good, as much as 52,000 taels!

I heard that the reason why the reward for this mission is so high is because the group of bandits that are being attacked once robbed the goods of the local lord, which made the lord very angry. He paid 50,000 taels of silver out of his own pocket and commissioned others to buy the lives of this group of bandits!

Although Might Guy did not say it explicitly, Tenten, Rock Lee and the other two, including Hyuga Neji, actually knew that this was the first bloody mission in their ninja career!

Everyone must see blood in a battle. If you don't want your own blood to splatter, you can only see the blood of the enemy splattering!
