Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

"I can't believe you actually thought of this level. Considering your age, being able to think of this problem is enough to show how outstanding you are."

"Indeed, such a large amount of supplies is indeed a bit small compared to the defensive strength of our team."

"But the mission we are carrying out now is top secret. The only ones who know the route are me and the Hokage."

"And the news that has been released publicly is that the people escorting the ninja to the front line are the reserve troops sent by our Konoha Village to the front line. There are thousands of them."

Shirataki said with a smile, and Minato, who had a more delicate mind, also sensed that just before Shirataki spoke, a barrier had silently opened around them.

The main reason why Minato was able to discover this barrier was that he was sensitive to the reaction of chakra in space.

"So that's it. It's a trick to build a plank road openly and secretly cross it into a warehouse." After hearing this, several children looked like they were suddenly enlightened.

Lujiu, who was more flexible in mind, asked, "Then when will we set off?" After knowing the specific tasks, what he was most concerned about now was actually the departure time.

"Tomorrow morning, Konoha's large forces will set off in batches, and we will disguise ourselves as businessmen tomorrow afternoon and head to the Land of Rain."

Shirataki said to the six children. Minato exclaimed happily when he learned that he would set off tomorrow, and even Zhiwei's face showed some anticipation.

"Businessman. I think most of the routes are not official. Isn't it abnormal to play the role of a businessman? At this time, how can there be a businessman who is not official?" Lu Jiu glanced at Shirataki's back in surprise. There was doubt in my heart again.

The routes on the scroll Shirataki gave them were all remote trails, but normally no businessman would take the trails. In today's chaotic environment, the security environment in the Country of Fire has also become quite poor.

The number of bandits who dominate the mountain is quite large, and it is impossible for a serious businessman to abandon the safest official road and take such a remote path. This is simply something that goes against common sense. There may be a lot of changes that may happen on the road.

Early the next morning, the gathering place was set up at the gate of Konoha Village. When Shirataki arrived at the gate, the genin troops of Konoha Ninja Village had just set off.

There were only a dozen or so people standing at the empty gate, and several of them were the gatekeepers of Konoha Village.

"Teacher Shirataki is here." Shirataki appeared at the end of the road in the village wearing a gray linen suit and carrying a small bag. Minato, who had been waiting here before dawn, said softly when he saw Shirataki's figure.

Beside him, other children in casual clothes looked towards the direction Shirataki came from. The originally scheduled meeting time was in the morning, but Shirataki didn't expect this group of students to arrive so early.

Although everyone had put on some disguises, Shirataki recognized them at a glance. After all, none of them used the transformation technique to change their appearance, they just changed their clothes and dressed up slightly.

As for why not use the transformation technique? After all, the transformation technique is a basic C-level ninjutsu. If used suddenly in battle, it can still deceive nervous opponents.

But under normal circumstances, even a slightly experienced ninja can easily tell whether the other party has used the transformation technique. And the transformation skills of these newly graduated kids don't last long.

"Okay, we're here, let's go." Bai Taki didn't waste any more words. For him, this mission was equivalent to taking six little ones on an outing. After Bai Taki handed over the warrant to leave the village, a group of seven people set out on the journey. Journey to the Land of Rain.

Sanfang City is located in the southeast corner of the Kingdom of Rain. It has always been one of the trade and economic centers of the Kingdom of Rain. Due to its economic prosperity, Sanfang City has brought together three people from the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Sand and the Kingdom of Earth in previous years. National business trip. The prosperous economy has made Sanfang City an important town in the Kingdom of Rain.

This is how Mikata Castle got its name, but now it has become the temporary headquarters of the Fire Country, providing a habitat for the ninjas of Konoha Village.

"Hasn't the support sent by Hiruzen arrived yet? If we continue like this, we will soon be unable to support it!" It was raining lightly outside. In a dilapidated building somewhere in the Three Kingdoms City of the Rain Country, Mito Kadoyan Standing next to a table, looking at the map on the table, he said in a deep voice.

In this small room, almost all the high-level commanders of the northwest front were gathered. In addition to the third generation Hokage's comrades and his three proud disciples, there were also other Konoha jounin. Obviously, after Sakumo, Shirataki and Sarutobi Hiruzen left this battlefield one after another, the situation in Konoha is not very optimistic now.

"We are already on the way. According to the itinerary, we should have entered the Land of Rain."

"Lord Hokage has sent a lot of support troops this time, but they are mainly genin and chuunin, and many of them have never experienced war, and some have even never experienced a decent battle."

"The combat effectiveness of the reinforcements is worrying." Shikara Nara glanced out the window at this time, and the weather outside seemed to reflect his mood at this time.

"There is no need to worry about combat effectiveness for the time being. It doesn't matter if you haven't experienced a war. Ninjas, those who survive after fighting several battles are elites."

"I believe that with the foundation of our village's ninjas, they will transform immediately after experiencing blood." Mito Kadoyan looked at the map placed on the table carefully without raising his head, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked "Where are Shirataki and the supplies?"

"I received news from Hiruzen two days ago that the supplies were secretly escorted by a team led by Shirataki."

"Are they here?"

After hearing Mito Kaden's question, Nara Shikara briefly browsed through the information he had not yet read, and replied, "No, I haven't received any news yet."

After hearing this, Mito Kadoyan moved his eyes away from the map, slightly raised his head and glanced at Nara Shikara, and said in a deep voice, "If the supplies arrive, notify me as soon as possible."

"How many days are the backup troops from here?" Mito Kadenyan looked at Orochimaru when he spoke. Orochimaru was in charge of contacting the backup troops.

"There are still three days." Orochimaru's cold and hoarse voice sounded, causing the temperature of the already cool room to drop a few degrees.

"Can you speed up? We are under heavy pressure, and the enemy's attacks are becoming more and more fierce. It seems that they have received news that we have support, and they want to clear us out of Mikata Castle before the backup troops arrive." Mito Gate was inflamed. Sheng said that now in the Kingdom of Rain, their occupied area of ​​Konoha has become very small, and Sankang City is the last large city with walls in their hands in Konoha. If this place is lost, the war will spread to the Land of Fire. At that time, the pressure from the people of the Fire Country will probably pour back onto the Leaf Village. This is what Mito Kadoyan doesn't want to see, and it's also what Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't allow to happen.

"This is already the fastest speed. Many of the support troops are brats, and many of them are leaving the village for the first time to perform missions. This speed is already the result of my repeated urging." Orochimaru's words made Mito Kadoyan frown. The pain deepened, and after sighing softly, he stopped asking about reinforcements and began to focus on the war.

Soon after, the sound of discussions among various high-level officials was heard in the command headquarters.

"Rust, rustle, rustle." The rain hit the leaves, making a "rustling" sound. The rain and mist lingered in the forest, and the mist was somewhat poetic. In the woods bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, several figures were quickly moving through the woods.

"Ta!" Bai Taki fell on a branch and stopped without moving forward.

"The Kingdom of Rain is coming soon. Let's take a rest before entering the country." As Shirataki finished speaking, the six little ones following him also stopped.

"The closer we get to the Land of Rain, the worse the weather becomes. It started raining last night and has been raining till now. Even my sense of smell has been affected a bit." Inuzukazuma's voice sounded dissatisfied. The harsh weather environment made the situation worse. She couldn't help but complain.

At this time, the six little ones were all wearing black raincoats, and the large raincoats hid their figures. Under the raincoat, he was still wearing the casual clothes he had worn when he left the village, except that ninja bags had been tied around his waist and thighs in case of emergencies.

"Oh? Your sense of smell will be affected by the weather? Why didn't I know?" Not far away, Zhiwei jumped from the tree to the ground, raised his head and asked Inuzukazuma.

"You don't know much." Inuzukazuma jumped down from the tree and landed next to Shirataki. Afterwards, several other people jumped down from the tree and quickly gathered together.

"Rest where you are. In this season, it will get dark in another hour. Don't continue on your way when it gets dark."

"We have traveled a long distance and adjusted well before entering the Kingdom of Rain. The Kingdom of Rain is not as good as the Kingdom of Fire, and danger may come to us at any time."

Shirataki glanced at the sky and said. As he spoke, Yamanaka Haiichi reached out from under his raincoat, took out a scroll and spread it out.

"Bang~" With a soft sound, a black raincloth appeared on the empty ground beside Hai Yi, as well as many iron frames in pieces.

Shikaku and Dingza, who were standing not far from Haiyi, came over immediately, picked up the iron frame and started to build the awning with familiarity.

After Hai untied the storage seal scroll, Minato walked towards the woods on one side, and when passing some trees, he casually placed some traps on the trees. Zhiwei jumped on the branch again, released a large number of parasites from his body, and started to be on guard.

From the time they set out from Konoha Village, their team has been marching for nearly a week under Shirataki's deliberate arrangements. The seven of them already have some tacit understanding, and there is no need to remind each other when to do something.

Shikaku, Haiichi and Dingza were already quite skilled at setting up tents. Three simple awnings were completed in just a few minutes. It was placed in the open space against a relatively lush tree.

"Minato, you're fine. You should rest first. I'll take care of the security duty." After seeing Shikaku and the others setting up the awning, Inuzukazuma shouted towards Minato who was still setting up traps in the distance.

One feature of their team is that they have two ninjas with remote sensing capabilities. Inuzuka's sense of smell and Aburame Shimi's parasites can all be sensed remotely.

Not to mention Shirataki's secondary eyes, so their team has never seen any surprises along the way, let alone near misses. The bandits along the road did not meet each other due to their deliberate avoidance. Therefore, they marched from Konoha to the border of Rain Country, and the team's whereabouts were not known to outsiders at all.

"Hey!" Minato didn't show any pretense. He patted his paws and walked into the awning to rest. "I'll bother you, it's a turn every hour. Just call me when the time comes."

Minato walked into the awning and didn't care about the mud on the ground. He just sat down on the ground and splashed some mud.
