Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Although high-end combat power is very important, the demands of low-level ninjas cannot be ignored. If you want to become a Hokage recognized by everyone, so that all Konoha ninjas are willing to sacrifice their lives for Sarutobi Hiruzen. Then, All kinds of strategic materials needed for the war must be ensured to be delivered to all low-level ninjas without any mistakes.

"Sir Shirataki, a new batch of combat supplies has arrived successfully. A total of 2,000 sets of uniforms, 2,000 sets of ninja tools, 20,000 detonating charms, and 5,000 military food pills." An ANBU stood upright opposite Shirataki's desk. , while scanning the account book in his hand, he quickly reported various figures from his mouth.

A few minutes passed, and when the ANBU finished speaking, Shirataki frowned and thought for a while, and asked slightly displeasedly, "Why are there so few this time? What's the situation over there in the village? What on earth is Master Hokage doing? He's not Do you know that we are fighting bloody battles on the front line?”

After two years of training, Shirataki's appearance has not changed much, but the aura he exudes is no longer the same. Seeing the faint golden glow in Shirataki's right eye under his sunglasses, the ANBU knew that Shirataki was already a little angry.

Just when he was about to explain, Nara Shikaji, who came with him, quickly came to the rescue and said, "There may be a problem on the road. After all, the supplies are transported in batches. It is possible that some of the supplies were intercepted by the enemy." ”

After hearing this, Bai Taki couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his temples, "Please memorize the list of supplies delivered today."

Every time the village delivers supplies to the front line, a list will be left behind. Hiruzen Sarutobi will make several copies of this list and send people to deliver it to Shirataki in advance so that Shirataki can keep it in mind. There are several.

In fact, with Shirataki's emphasis on resources, he naturally knew this kind of thing, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to discover that the amount of supplies this time was wrong at the first time.

However, although he believed in his memory, Shirataki still planned to ask Nara Shikaji to recite the amount of supplies again to prevent him from remembering it wrong.

Nara Shikaji didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "4,000 sets of quilts, 4,000 sets of ninja tools, and a total of 40,000 detonating charms."

Before Nara Shikaji could finish speaking, Shirataki stood up with a huff, waved his hand to interrupt Nara Shikaji's words, and said in a deep voice, "In other words, the quantity of supplies has been reduced by half. I remember, today is supposed to be the delivery day." The deadline for the goods?”

There are two transportation routes from Konoha to Kawanokuni. Each time, two escort teams will set off together. But now, the number of supplies is only half of the original number. Does this mean that one of the escort teams is really Was attacked, in that case, the supply line. The two looked at each other, and both read similar meanings in each other's eyes.

After a while, Shirataki slowly sat back on the chair, raised his palms, put his forehead on his forehead and thought for a few minutes. Then he looked up at Nara Shikaji and said, "Send the news back to the village. I want to find out what happened." It's going on." Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Nara Shikaji nodded, turned around and ran out of the tent without saying a word.

Sitting behind the desk, Shirataki thought for a while, thinking that the only enemy now was Sunagakure, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "The ninja are now huddled in the northwest corner of Kawa no Kuni. They should not be able to break through our defense line. Insert directly into our rear area to attack the transport troops."

"Could it be that they passed through the Country of Rain and went in a big circle to the Country of Fire? But how did they know the exact location of the supply line? Internal leaks? Spies?" Although it is not ruled out that spies leaked the information, which exposed the supply line and caused transportation problems. The troops are under attack, but Shirataki is obviously confused.

The Sunagakure went to such great lengths to transport Shirataki's transport troops, and they most likely took a detour to the Land of Rain. Among them, Sunagakure's enthusiasm was obviously very different from his previous performance.

"The Third Kazekage, can you finally bear it?" This was the first thought that lingered in Shirataki's mind, and it seemed to be the one closest to the truth. He was about to carefully figure out what the Third Kazekage's confidence was, but at this moment, Nara Shikashi, who had sent the news to the village, walked in with Hatake Sakumo.

Shirataki didn't say much, he just waved to Nara Shikaji and Hatake Sakumo, motioning them to sit aside, sorted out his thoughts, and said calmly, "I suspect they were attacked. , the entire army should have been wiped out by now, what do you think?”

After Shirataki's words fell, Nara Shikaji and Hatake Sakumo both frowned and thought for a while. A few seconds later, at the end of the term, Sakumo was the first to come to the conclusion, "It's probably Suna Ninja who did it."

Nara Shikaji did not agree, but frowned and pursed his lips. After a long time, he slowly said, "Are you going to take a detour from the Land of Rain? But it seems that it is not a good choice for Sunagakure." ”

"The combat power and time spent by Sunagakure are too much. The effort and the reward are completely out of proportion. And after walking such a long distance, they are not afraid of being noticed by other ninja troops in Konoha?"

Glancing at Nara Shikaji, Hatake Sakumo snorted inaudibly, and pointed out the blind spot in Nara Shikaji's thinking without expression, "Don't forget the old man named Kaze Erosion in Sunagakure."

"Based on the old man's attack record two years ago and the Sunagakure intelligence sent back by our spies, this guy is not weak, very fast, and he can obviously fly."

"If it's Wind Erosion, then he can fly over our defense line without anyone noticing, and single-handedly kill the five jounin who are standing in the transportation team, and how many chuunin and genin are there?"

Hatake Sakumo's words gave Shirataki a wake-up call. While he was recalling the old sand ninja who appeared briefly two years ago, he also thought of other things. "Interesting."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing an interesting smile. Shirataki leaned back, sunk his back into the soft cushions, and said leisurely, "Wind Erosion, Monzaemon. Sunagakure's high-end We obviously still have a lot of fighting power, but why... in the past two years, the only ones who have fought with us are Chiyo, Luo Sa and other juniors? "

"Have those old guys died of old age? Haha, this phenomenon seems to be very abnormal now. The Third Kazekage, this must be a big game of chess."

First, he finished his words in a slightly teasing tone. Then, Shirataki turned to look at Nara Shikaji, his expression having returned to calmness. "The Third Kazekage is most likely up to some conspiracy. Has the General Staff discovered anything?"

Nara Shikaji is currently the number one leader of the staff, with a total of ten fixed members under his jurisdiction, most of whom are veteran jounin who are battle-hardened, experienced and have high IQs.

Shirataki asked Nara Shikaji at this time, hoping that the staff could get a glimpse of clues from Sunagakure's recent changes in actions and predict the possible next plan of the Third Kazekage.

"Meet" Nara Shikaji lowered his head and pondered for a while. After a long time, he looked up at Shirataki again, with a trace of hesitation flashing across his face. "There is not much discovery so far. Sunagakure's recent actions seem to be no different from the past, but..."

This sound of "nothing" instantly aroused Bai Taki's interest. "Nothing but what?"

"Recently, the frequency of material transportation seems to have increased a lot. However, based on the reports from our ninjas, the firepower of the Sunagakure has not been significantly improved."

"Whether it's ninja tools, detonating talismans, or puppets used by puppet masters, the Sand Ninja troops don't seem to have received sufficient supplies of equipment in batches. This is very strange."

"Where were the supplies that were transported to the Sunagakure camp used? Or, in other words, are those supplies really weapons and equipment?"

Shirataki pondered for a while, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously. He did not look at Nara Shikaji, but directly asked in a low voice, "What is your guess?"

"There are too many possibilities, I can't." Before he finished speaking, Shirataki frowned slightly and squinted his eyes to look at himself. Nara Shikaji's heart skipped a beat, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead. He then decisively changed his words and spoke. His own immature judgment said, "Maybe it is a material for making some kind of high-end puppet, or maybe it is some kind of trump card prepared by the Third Kazekage. In short, it may require consuming a lot of materials."

"High-end puppet." Thinking of the battle with Monzaemon four years ago, and then thinking of this war, the figure of the other party never appeared. Shirataki couldn't help but wonder if Monzaemon died of old age?

However, if according to Nara Shikaji's guess, Sunagakure is really making some kind of "killer puppet" or some kind of "powerful weapon", then at Chiyo's level, he has the ability to create something that is enough to threaten him. ?

Shaking his head, Shirataki decisively chose not to dwell on these nonsense things. As Nara Shikaji said, there are too many possibilities, and guessing out of thin air is just a waste of time. But after all, there is one piece of information that Shirataki is certain about. The Third Kazekage is probably holding back some big move, and for this, a lot of unknown materials have been consumed.

If we look at Sunagakure's change of previous combat style and active sneak attack on his own transport troops, Shirataki believes that there is a high probability that the Third Kazekage is almost ready and wants to take the lead in provoking a decisive battle.

Thinking of this, Shirataki asked again, "Where is the Intelligence Department? Did you find anything?"

Hatake Sakumo replied without even thinking, "Sunagakure sent several teams into the Land of Rain, with the target being the direction of the Rain Hidden Village. According to my judgment, the Third Kazekage might be hooking up with Hanzo the Sanshouyu." They came together with the intention of joining forces to deal with us at some point in the future.”

Because of the Shenyingqiu incident, Sunagakure and Amegakure signed an alliance treaty three or four years ago. But now that the war has begun, Sanshouyu Hanzo has actually not shown much sincerity as an ally of Sunagakure Village.

Of course, the same is true for Iwagakure and Hanzo. In this ninja world war that lasted for more than four years, Amegakure's attitude was extremely negative. Most of the time, the Amegakure just stayed within their own sphere of influence and rarely took the initiative to attack Konoha. The consequences of the war were There are even fewer.

Even though Sansho Hanzo was forced to participate in several large-scale battles between Iwagakure and Konoha, his behavior was like that of most rain ninjas. On the surface, he seemed to be fighting fiercely with Konoha ninjas, but every time he fought, In the end, the Konoha ninjas who faced Hanzo did not suffer much losses.

As time went on, Iwagakure and Konoha became aware of the attitude that Hanzo wanted to show. The general summary was, you beat yourselves, I will just watch from the side.
