Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed out smoke for a while, thought for a moment, and said to Sawada Kazuya, "Show me the C-rank war mission."

Taking the mission scroll handed over by Sawada Kazuya, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at it carefully and found an escort mission, escorting food to the battlefield of Grass Country.

C-level war missions do not involve ninja combat, they are basically just about logistics.

Originally, this kind of food escort mission should not be a C-level one, because there is a high probability of an attack by ninjas from the enemy village.

But the current situation is that Konoha and Iwagakure are fighting in the Land of Grass, and each occupies half of the land, so it is difficult for Iwagakure to go around to the Land of Fire to attack.

Small groups of ninjas can bring their own food or hunt on the spot, but this is not possible in a large-scale, long-term war, and food must be transported from the rear.

There are generally two situations. One is that the front line is out of food due to various accidents and the rear is urgently asked to transport food as quickly as possible. The other is that the rear transports food to the front line regularly. This C-level task belongs to the latter.

"Your team has indeed performed well. I will make another exception for your excellence and let you do a war mission." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and handed the task of escorting food and grass to Mu Yue.

"Muyue, what do you think of this mission?"

Mu Yue took the task scroll with both hands, read the task content carefully, then nodded and said:

"We will definitely not let you down, Sandaime-sama, and we will complete this mission perfectly!"

Mu Yue was quite satisfied with this mission. Although it was a war mission, it would not be a dangerous one.

He thought it was good to have a social bull in the team. If it weren't for Obito, they wouldn't be able to complete the mission today and would have to go back to training.

Mu Yue can be as shameless as Obito, but his identity is not suitable. Obito is an intern and doesn't know much, but he is already a jonin and a teacher in a ninja school. It is obviously not possible for him to force himself to take on higher-level tasks, which does not fit his personality.

"Great, thank you Uncle Hokage." Obito smiled instantly and thanked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You are all the future of the village, so please be careful and be safe." Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his pipe and said with a kind smile.

"Teacher Mu Yue, let me see what the mission is." When Mu Yue and others walked out of the Hokage Building, Obito couldn't wait to take a look at the content of the mission.

Maybe that's just how people are. The more you don't want him to do something, the more curious he becomes and the more he wants to do it. Obito is very curious about what's so special about this war mission that interns are forbidden to do.

"You can take a look at it too." Mu Yue directly handed the mission information to the disciples for circulation.

After taking it, Obito couldn't wait to check the contents, and then he showed a look of disappointment.

"What? This is no different from an ordinary C-rank mission. It's just that people are turned into food." Obito couldn't help but complain.

He thought this war mission was very special, but the result disappointed him greatly.

"That's different. We are going to a battlefield, a battlefield between two of the five major ninja villages, which is considered the most dangerous place in the ninja world." Kakashi corrected with a serious expression.

It didn't matter at other times, Kakashi would never allow Obito to underestimate the battlefield, because this was a place where even the Kage could encounter unexpected situations.

"Although there is a high probability that no battle will occur, we must remain vigilant."

Although it was a war mission, it was only a C-rank mission, and Kakashi believed that there would be no fighting.

After all, they encountered accidents in their first three C-level missions, so it is impossible for them to encounter them again this time.

"Since you said that, Kakashi, we're probably going to encounter a ninja and have a battle with them," Obito said with a look of joy.

Kakashi looked at Obito with confusion, curious as to how he could extract the opposite information from his words.

"Kakashi, look, you said the same thing during the first three missions, and a battle broke out every time. It will definitely be the same this time." Obito analyzed seriously.

Kakashi:......

He was speechless. How could he be so unlucky? It was all just a coincidence.

"It's just that we were unlucky the last few times. Most of the mission route is within the country and is very safe. The part of the road that goes to the Land of Grass will also be guarded by our Konoha ninjas." Kakashi said lightly.

"Don't discuss this anymore, let's carry out the mission quickly. The war mission cannot be delayed." Mu Yue said with a smile.

The previous missions were a result of luck, but also of Mu Yue's contribution. He specifically chose more dangerous places, so of course the probability of encountering accidents would be higher.

Then Mu Yue took his disciples to the location of the grain transport team.

"Master Ninja, we are ready and can set off at any time." A middle-aged man walked forward and said after confirming that it was Mu Yue who accepted the task.

"There is no problem on our side, let's go." Mu Yue nodded and gave the order.

This mission is different from previous ones. Previous missions all had clients, but the client of this war mission is Konoha itself, so the captain Mu Yue has absolute command authority, followed by Mu Yue’s disciples, and finally those ordinary people who transport food.

Under Mu Yue's order, carriages loaded with grain drove towards the Grass Kingdom, and Mu Yue also took three disciples to sit on a carriage without grain.

"Teacher Mu Yue, isn't there a technique that can seal things into a scroll? Why don't you just put all the food in there? That way you won't need so many carriages and so many people. Just a few of us can escort it." Obito asked curiously.

If there are only four of them escorting them, the concealment will be greatly improved.

"You can't just put as much as you want in it." Mu Yue smiled and explained to Obito the principle of storing items in the scroll.

The scroll that can hold items is itself a ninja tool. How much can be put in and how much can be taken out depends on the ability of the ninja. Not every ninja can put in as much as they want and take out as much as they want.

Ninjas are generally big eaters, and when wars involve extremely fierce battles, they eat even more. To satisfy these thousands of foodies, a huge amount of food is needed.

It is naturally impossible to arrange powerful ninjas to deliver food, as they have more important tasks, so in the end it is still a ninja team plus ordinary people.

Obito nodded, not quite understanding, as if he had gained some trivia.

"What does the battlefield look like? Teacher Mu Yue, have you ever been there?" Obito no longer thought about food but the battlefield.

Mu Yue shook his head. He had never been to the battlefield, either in his previous life or this life.

"Kakashi, what about you?" Obito asked Kakashi. Might Guy was a student like him, so he definitely had never been there.

"I've done a few war missions, but never fought on a battlefield," Kakashi replied after recalling the past.

He was experienced in ordinary tasks, but he was only an eight-year-old child and had no battlefield experience.

"But you acted like you knew everything before." Obito complained. Kakashi's serious expression almost scared him.

"I haven't fought on the battlefield, but I have listened to some of the teachings of my predecessors." Kakashi replied with a serious expression. War must indeed be taken seriously.

Title: Naruto, Be My Son

Introduction

After the end of the Battle of Marineford, Edward Newgate, who was once known as one of the Four Emperors of the New World and the strongest man in the world, thought that he would be buried in the headquarters of the Navy today.

Until he opened his eyes and found that he had come to a place called "Ninja World" and met a child named "Naruto".

"Gu la la la! Kid, do you have parents?"

Looking at the giant white beard, the five-year-old little Naruto trembled: "No... no, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, I... I am an orphan."

"Naruto, be my son!"

"Eh?????"

……

This book is also known as "Now, Let the Ninja World Welcome the New Whitebeard Pirates", "Ninja World Orphans, Be My Sons", and "Ninja Father"

Chapter 238: War Breaks Out

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

Unlike the Land of Fields and the Land of Rivers that Mu Yue had visited before, the Land of Grass not only has its own ninja village, Kusanagi Village, but is also considered to be one of the stronger countries in the ninja world.

However, the awkward position of the Grass Kingdom means that its limited strength has nowhere to be displayed.

The Grass Kingdom borders four countries in total, two small countries and two large countries.

The two small bordering countries are Taki Country and Rain Country. Taki Country is located in the northeast of Grass Country. Due to its special terrain, Grass Country has no way to start and has no way to develop towards Taki Country. Rain Country is easier to attack, as half of Grass Country's land borders Rain Country, but Rain Country is the strongest ninja village after the five major ninja villages, and its strength is too strong to be tackled.

The two big countries bordering it are the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. Needless to say, they cannot afford to offend them at all and can only lick their faces and serve as their younger brothers.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Rain Village had already proved to the ninja world how powerful the five major ninja villages were. Even if the top-level combat forces could compete, the small ninja villages at other levels would only be crushed by the five major ninja villages and eventually lead to defeat.

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

Of course, the Land of Grass cannot completely side with Konoha. While being Konoha's younger brother, it will also show goodwill to Iwagakure to avoid being dealt with in the war.

Although the Grass Country has tried very hard to maneuver, it still cannot avoid becoming a battlefield for confrontation between major powers because its geographical location is too good.

Now the best battlefield for the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha is the Land of Grass, no doubt about it.

In fact, the location of the Rain Country is better, but because of its better location, it is more troublesome. If Iwagakure goes through the Rain Country to attack the Fire Country, it will not only have to face the powerful Rain Village, but will also arouse the fear of the Wind Country, because the Rain Country is also bordering the Wind Country.

Iwagakure has no idea about the Wind Country, so even though the Rain Country is better located, for it, the Grass Country is the best route to invade Konoha.

Perhaps because the situation on the front line was good, this escort mission went exceptionally smoothly. They did not encounter any attacks along the way, and they did not even encounter any robbers.

Mu Yue thought about it and realized that ordinary robbers would definitely hire ninjas as guards if they saw such a large convoy.

Of course, it may also be because during the war, the robbers did not dare to wander around, for fear of being affected by the fighting between ninjas.

"Eh, there hasn't been any enemy for such a long time. Could it be that Kakashi is right this time?" Obito said with some disappointment as he sat on the top of the carriage and looked around but didn't see any trace of the enemy.

"I told you, I was just unlucky before. It's impossible for accidents to happen four times in a row." Kakashi said calmly.

He felt that this was normal, as it was what a C-level mission looked like. The previous few times were truly unexpected surprises. The first and third times, there was no problem in saying they were S-level missions.

Once, two senior ninjas appeared, and another time, a candidate for Raikage appeared. It was so exaggerated that Kakashi even wondered if he would really bring bad luck.

"How about a race full of youth and passion?" Might Guy invited enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse." Kakashi refused immediately. He didn't want to engage in such meaningless physical exertion during the mission.

"Forget it." Obito also rejected Might Guy's proposal because he felt that he could not win at all.

Obito didn't really want to participate in this kind of game which had no meaning and was bound to be lost.

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

"That's such a pity." Might Guy said with regret, then jumped off the carriage and ran at the same speed as the carriage.

Mu Yue did not stop Might Guy. This amount of exercise was nothing to Might Guy. It could only be considered a warm-up.

And after leaving Konoha, Mu Yue would use perception ninjutsu from time to time to ensure that there were no enemies around.

If you can keep your Byakugan open for a long time, it wouldn't be so troublesome, but that would consume too much chakra and would be very inefficient.

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

"How much do you get for completing a commission?" Obito asked curiously.

"Commission?" The worker who was asked was a little confused at first, but then he thought that Obito might be asking about salary.

"When there's a lot of work, I might make seven thousand taels a month, but usually it's around five thousand taels." The worker thought for a moment and replied.

"Do you work very few hours every month? Why is it only 5,000 taels a month?" Obito scratched his head and asked in confusion.

The minimum commission fee for a D-level mission is 5,000 taels, and there is no tax on this lowest-amount D-level mission commission fee. Mu Yue still divides the commission fee equally. Obito can earn 5,000 taels by completing four D-level missions, which usually only takes an afternoon.

Obito's words silenced the worker, who didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Are the working hours short? Of course not. I basically work every day, but sometimes the salary is higher and I am busy day and night.

"Of course we ordinary people can't compare to you ninja masters." The worker finally said.

This is the disparity in the world. The money a ninja spends on purchasing ninja tools every month may be something that an ordinary family can hardly afford in a year.

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

When the convoy arrived at the border of the Fire Kingdom and was about to enter the Grass Kingdom, Mu Yue asked all the disciples to return to the carriage and issue a warning.

"Next we are going to enter the Grass Kingdom. The Grass Kingdom is very dangerous now. You need to be vigilant at all times." Mu Yue reminded with a serious face.

"There are thousands of ninjas fighting in this country right now. Anything could happen."

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

Mu Yue is capable of protecting himself and his three disciples in the war, but he doesn't want Obito and the others to underestimate the war because of this.

Any war is cruel, will sacrifice many people and destroy many beautiful things.

Even the most outgoing Obito showed a cautious expression at this time and did not say anything questioning.

After entering the Land of Grass, the air seemed to have a more solemn and murderous aura, and the environment on the road also began to change.

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