Chapter 238 The rise of the war

The Kingdom of Grass is a small country located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Fire.

Different from the Kingdom of Tian and the Kingdom of Sichuan that Mu Yue went to before, the Kingdom of Grass not only has its own ninja village, the Grass Ninja Village, but the Kingdom of Grass is also considered to be stronger among the small countries in the ninja world.

However, the awkward position of the Kingdom of Grass prevents it from displaying its little strength.

The Country of Grass borders four countries in total, namely two small countries and two large countries.

The two bordering small countries are the country of Taki and the country of rain. The country of Taki is in the northeast of the country of grass. Due to the special terrain, the country of grass has no way to start and develop towards the country of Taki. The country of rain is better. Starting from the beginning, half of the land of the Grass Country is bordered by the Rain Country, but the Rain Country is the strongest ninja village among the five great ninja villages, and its strength is too strong to attack.

The two big countries bordering them are the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire, not to mention the Kingdom of Fire. They cannot be offended at all and can only lick their faces and act like little brothers.

During the Second Ninja War, the Rain Ninja Village had already proven to the Ninja World how powerful the five major Ninja Villages were. Even if the top combat forces were able to compete, the small Ninja Village would only be crushed by the Five Major Ninja Villages on other levels, which would eventually lead to Defeated.

As a small country, the way of survival of the Grass Country is to help whoever wins, so Konoha, which has always won, has become its solid ally.

Of course, the Kingdom of Grass cannot completely fall to Konoha. While being Konoha's little brother, it will also show its favor to Iwagakure to avoid being easily dealt with during the war.

Although the Country of Grass has worked very hard to deal with the situation, it still cannot avoid becoming a battlefield for confrontation between major powers because its geographical location is so good.

The best battlefield for the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha now is the Country of Grass, no one else.

In fact, the location of the Kingdom of Rain is better, but because of the better location, it is more troublesome. If Iwagakure uses the Kingdom of Rain to attack the Kingdom of Fire, he will not only have to face the weak Rain Ninja Village, but also cause the Kingdom of Wind to attack Fearful, because the Kingdom of Rain is also bordering the Kingdom of Wind.

Iwagakure has no idea about the Kingdom of Wind, so although the Kingdom of Rain is better located, for it, the Kingdom of Grass is the best route to invade Konoha.

Possibly because the situation on the front line was good, this **** mission went particularly smoothly. They did not encounter a single attack on the way, and they did not even encounter any robbers.

Mu Yue thought about it. When ordinary robbers saw such a large convoy, they would definitely hire ninjas as escorts if they thought about it a little.

Of course, it may also be because during the war, robbers did not dare to wander around in case they encountered ninjas and were affected by the fight.

"Hey, the enemy hasn't appeared for so long. Could it be that Kakashi really got it right this time?" Obito said with some disappointment as he sat on the top of the carriage and looked around but saw no sign of the enemy.

“I said it before, it was bad luck. It’s impossible for accidents to happen four times in a row.” Kakashi said calmly.

 He ​​thinks this is normal, so it looks like a C-level mission. The first few times were really unexpected, and the first and third time, it was no problem to call it an S-level mission.

One time two Jonin appeared, and another time a Raikage candidate simply appeared. It was so exaggerated that Kakashi even doubted whether he would really bring bad luck.

“How about a race full of youth and passion?” Metkai invited with a passionate look.

"Forgive me for refusing." Kakashi refused immediately. During the mission, he did not want to engage in such meaningless physical exertion.

“Let’s forget it.” Obito also rejected Metkai’s proposal because he felt that he couldn’t win at all.

Obito doesn't really want to participate in this kind of game that doesn't mean much and is bound to lose.

If Kakashi wanted to compete with him, Obito would be happy to agree.

"That's a pity." Metkai said with regret, then jumped out of the carriage and ran at the same speed as the carriage.

Mu Yue did not stop Metkay. This amount of exercise was nothing to Metkay, it could only be said to be a warm-up.

Furthermore, after leaving Konoha, Mu Yue would launch a sensory ninjutsu from time to time to ensure that there were no enemies around.

It wouldn't be that troublesome if you could keep Byakugan open for a long time, but it would consume too much chakra and would be very cost-effective.

Since there were no enemies, Obito was bored and looked for people from the food transport team to chat with him. He talked about everything, including work, life and family.

“How much money do you have to complete a commission?” Obito asked curiously.

“Entrust?” The worker who was asked was a little confused at first, but later he thought that Obito might be asking about salary.

“When I work a lot, I might get 7,000 taels a month, but usually it’s about 5,000 taels.” The worker thought for a while and replied.

“Do you work very few hours each month? How come it’s only five thousand taels a month?” Obito scratched his head and asked in confusion.

The minimum commission fee for a D-level mission is five thousand taels, and the commission fee for this lowest D-level mission does not need to be taxed. Mu Yue will still divide the commission fee equally. Obito can earn five thousand taels by doing four D-level tasks. Two, usually only one afternoon.

Obito’s words silenced the workers, and they didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Do you have very few working hours? Of course not. I basically work every day. However, sometimes if the salary is higher, I will be busy day and night.

“Of course we ordinary people are no better than you ninja-sama.” The worker finally said.

This is how different the world is. The amount a ninja spends on purchasing ninja tools every month may be a cost that ordinary families cannot afford in a year.

Obito didn't understand the difference. He couldn't figure out why there was such a big gap.

When the convoy arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Fire and was about to enter the Kingdom of Grass, Mu Yue asked the disciples to get back on the carriage to give a warning. "We are about to enter the Country of Grass next. The Country of Grass is very dangerous now. You need to be vigilant at all times." Mu Yue reminded with a serious look.

“There are thousands of ninjas at war in this country right now, and anything can happen.”

Mu Yue then spent half an hour preaching, explaining the cruelty of war to several disciples.

Mu Yue is capable of protecting himself and his three disciples in the war, but he does not want Obito and the others to underestimate the war.

Any war is cruel, requires the sacrifice of many people, and destroys many beautiful things.

Even the most out-of-the-box Obito showed a cautious expression at this time and did not say a word of doubt.

After entering the Kingdom of Grass, the air seemed to have a chilling air, and the environment on the road began to change.

Mu Yue and the others began to gradually encounter ninjas, but they were their own Konoha ninjas, or ninjas from the Land of Grass, who were considered allies.

Based on the atmosphere of observing the appearance of ninjas, Mu Yue guessed that the situation was not bad, otherwise the expressions of those ninjas would have been more serious.

“Is this the first normal C-level mission finally coming?” Mu Yue thought in her mind.

Having done three C-level missions but not a single C-level completion record on their resume, there is no one left in their team.

As he gets closer to the destination of the mission, Mu Yue perceives more ninjas through the sensing ninjutsu.

So Mu Yue switched to using Byakugan, because perception ninjutsu can only sense chakra, while Byakugan can directly see who is it.

Every hour Mu Yue would open her white eyes and look around. All the ninjas within a radius of 1.5 kilometers were invisible to Mu Yue's white eyes.

Finally, the food transport team led by Mu Yue arrived at Konoha's camp on the battlefield of Grass Country without being attacked.

“Muyue, why are you here on the battlefield?” Minato asked in surprise when he saw a familiar figure.

In Minato's understanding, Mu Yue cannot appear here because Mu Yue is a teacher and is still in the ninja school.

Unless Konoha reaches a moment of life and death, an excellent ninja school teacher like Mu Yue will not be allowed to rush to the battlefield.

“I am a trainee teacher. In fact, I am almost the same as a jounin who leads a class. This time I am leading the students to carry out a C-level war mission.” Mu Yue explained with a smile.

“I see, we are carrying out a logistics mission.” Minato looked at the food transport convoy over there and roughly guessed what mission Mu Yue had taken on.

"Muyue, please try to keep your students in the camp and not move around. Iwagakure has been quiet for two weeks and may be planning a big attack." Minato reminded that this camp is considered the rear of the front line and is very safe. .

He knew that two of Mu Yue's team were students from the ninja school, so he was a little worried.

“We won’t run around.” Obito felt underestimated.

"This is best. Only by following your teacher's orders can you become an excellent ninja." Minato didn't pay attention to Obito's words, but responded with a kind smile.

"This guy really looks like Teacher Mu Yue when he smiles." Obito couldn't help complaining in his heart, and the suspicion that Mu Yue and Minato were long-lost brothers couldn't help but come to his mind.

"It seems that there will be no accidents in this mission." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

The mission has been completed here. All we have to do next is wait for the food to be unloaded and take a short rest before returning to Konoha.

Crack!

Suddenly a burst sounded, and a firework rose and bloomed in the distance.

Boom!

Following this, there was a violent explosion, and the fire was so fierce that it could be seen clearly even from a long distance.

“Oops, Iwagakure has launched a large-scale raid!” Minato showed a serious expression.

The signal just now was Konoha's highest level alert signal on the battlefield, and all Konoha ninjas who saw it must prepare to join the battle.

Kakashi looked at the signal from the sky with a stunned expression. Even the students of the ninja school would know what this signal meant.

“Am I really going to bring bad luck?” Kakashi was a little unsure of himself, so he sent out the highest level warning signal as soon as he arrived on the battlefield.

Mu Yue was also a little surprised. He also knew the meaning of this signal.

"Who will be the enemy, the Third Tsuchikage? It shouldn't be so, could it be..." Mu Yue's eyes flickered, guessing the main combat power of Iwagakure's attack.

I’m not feeling well today. There’s only one chapter left. I’ll check the status tomorrow for more updates.
