From the geographical location, it is not difficult to see that the Country of Tea is the younger brother of the Country of Fire. Every year, the Country of Tea pays a large amount of protection fees, and all tasks are taken care of by Konoha.
So when the representative of the Tea Country rushed to Konoha to explain the situation with a document handwritten by the Fire Country daimyo, even Sarutobi, who was the Hokage, had to pay attention.
But it's important to take it seriously. Now Konoha and Kumogakure have vented their anger. As for when this war will be completely ended, no one can say.
In addition, Konoha is currently seriously short of manpower. It is impossible for Sarutobi to transfer the ninjas who are fighting on the border back to protect the people of the Tea Country and transport tea!
However, the reputation of the Fire Country’s famous names cannot but be sold.
So with an extremely headache, Sarutobi had no choice but to appease the representatives of the Country of Tea, and then issued the mission in a particularly shameless way.
I didn't say I wouldn't help you. If you don't believe me, just look at it. I've sent out all the tasks for you, but I can't control whether anyone takes them or not.
After all, although I am Hokage, I can't force others to take over your mission now that I'm short of manpower!
The representatives from the Country of Tea didn't notice Sarutobi's little trick at first, but half a month later, no matter how they increased the reward, no one was willing to take on their mission.
At this time, how could they not see that Konoha didn't care about their troubles at all.
This made them very angry!
You know, they have paid a lot of protection fees over the years!
But so what?
Can they really break up with Konoha?
The Kingdom of Tea, located at the southern end of the Kingdom of Fire, is actually the leeks raised in the Kingdom of Fire. You can cut them whenever you want.
They are really going to break up. After the war between Konoha and Kumogakure ends, they will be the first to be dealt with, and it will happen in a matter of minutes!
The awkward geographical location of the Country of Tea made it impossible for them to even ask for help from other major countries.
So what else can be done?
I can only endure it!
Even if more than half of their financial support is lost, they can only break their teeth and swallow it!
But from Konoha's standpoint, Sarutobi's choice was actually not wrong at all.
There's a fight going on ahead, and people's brains are about to turn into dog brains!
Who will dispatch the army to escort you to make money at this time?
are you crazy!
Can you please stop causing trouble!?
Anyway, if you make less money, you won’t starve to death. Why don’t you just hold on for a few more years?
This matter can be said to be completely different positions. The Fire Country has too much time to take care of itself, but the Tea Country needs the help of the Fire Country to prevent the economy from collapsing. Otherwise, so much tea will never be sold. How can they let their people drink tea every day?
Do you want to make rice noodles? Then you have to have rice noodles!
However, under this situation, Mikawaban, who had just finished working as a personal bodyguard for a rich man, returned to the village.
When submitting the task, Qingyu suddenly noticed that there were so many more tasks during this period.
And many of them have similar mission content.
"Escort a shipment to the Kingdom of Earth"
"Escort a shipment of goods to the Country of Tang"
"Escort a shipment of goods"
The lowest level is also given a B-level evaluation, and the series of rewards that follow can even blind people!
The more dangerous the place you go, the higher the mission level, and the rewards are far higher than other similar missions.
People can't help but wonder what kind of goods they are escorting. If these rewards are removed, can they still make money?
The answer is of course yes!
Businessmen will not do business at a loss unless it is absolutely necessary.
So making money is definitely still making money, it’s just a matter of making more money and making less money.
After reading these tasks, Qingyu didn't have much interest.
Because this kind of escort mission takes too long and is troublesome. Even if the reward is high, it depends on where you are going!
Take the Kingdom of Tang as an example. This place is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire.
Now that Konoha and Kumogakure have beaten their heads to pieces nearby, and countless people are killed and injured every day, who would be stupid enough to take on such a dangerous mission!
But when he saw one of the tasks, he suddenly let out a sigh
"B-level mission, escort a batch of goods to the Kingdom of Iron for a reward of 800,000 taels."
You must know that the reward for B-level tasks is generally between eight and two hundred thousand taels, and the reward for this task is four times the highest for B-level tasks!
It stands to reason that a brave man will be rewarded with a heavy reward, but there are very few Jonin left in Konoha, and the Kingdom of Iron is also very close to the battlefields of Konoha and Kumogakure, so it is no wonder that no one has taken up this mission.
But Qingyu was a little moved.
The reward was one thing, but he mainly wanted to go to the Iron Country and get himself a good saber.
Because ordinary swords are too fragile in his hands, he has to be careful even when practicing, let alone using them against enemies.
And if he wants to integrate thunder attribute chakra and [Thunder Breath], a knife that can conduct chakra well is a must!
Another reason is that although the Iron Country is very close to the battlefield, it is a neutral country. The ninjas of the major countries made an agreement a long time ago not to attack this country, so the Iron Country has avoided being involved in these times.
In the Ninja World War.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Fire are bordering each other. As long as you don't encounter the enemy's main force, going back quickly can still reduce a certain degree of danger.
But the problem is that no one can predict luck.
If they were to encounter Kumogakure's ninja army head-on, it goes without saying that escaping with their lives would be a luxury.
Unless he can gamble again【卍解】
But it has only been more than two months since the last time it was used. There is a more than ten percent chance that it must be possessed by the European Emperor.
So he was a little confused as to whether he should take this risk or not.
In addition, even if he wanted to accept it, he would have to convince Mr. Mikawa first, as well as Itachi and Hayate.
Itachi, who noticed his gaze at this moment, said calmly, "Do you want to take on that mission?"
Aoyu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Don't you think that the current C-level missions can no longer meet our needs? And if we want to realize our respective ideals, we must have extraordinary results. Minato-sama
The reason why I was able to sit in the position of Hokage is because I made such a big name on the battlefield that I killed enemies who were frightened by it. A similar example is Kakashi-senpai."
"So although it will be very dangerous, even more dangerous than the situation we encountered last time, I think this is also our opportunity!"
"If we continue step by step and wait until the war with Kumogakure ends, it will be difficult for us to stand out in peacetime, and it will be even harder to become Hokage. What do you think?"
Itachi was silent.
But I have to admit that Qingyu's words are very reasonable.
