Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

He understood the difference between the powerful and the common people better than most people.

Even if you don't want to get ahead in the future, just wanting to survive the war should get as close as possible to powerful families.

Because they have access to information much more easily than ordinary ninjas like them.

Even if it's not for ninjutsu, just secretly telling you a little bit of information can actually be the difference between life and death.

Uchiha Jin didn't say much about this.

There's no way to hide something like inner armor.

So, forget it.

Let these people think whatever they want.

It's not a big deal.

only.

Nara Kazama and Kudo Shin were alright; their eyes were still relatively normal.

Only Ishikawa Itsuki.

The look in his eyes was mostly filled with jealousy and resentment.

It seems.

I need to be more careful around him from now on.

Having lived two lives, he knew very well that while such insignificant people might not amount to much, they could easily cause trouble.

Just then, a Chunin wearing a green vest walked over.

"Seventh Squad, this is your mission."

His expression was indifferent.

He merely glanced at the Uchiha's inner armor, then distributed the mission scrolls before turning and leaving.

Shin Kudo became serious.

He glanced at the mission scroll and then spoke with a solemn expression.

"Our team's mission is to escort supplies to the front lines."

"go!"

Without uttering a single word, he turned and left.

Yes.

As a ninja who had experienced the battlefield, he knew exactly what to do and when.

Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama followed closely behind Kudo Shin.

Only Ishikawa Itsuki.

He looked very unhappy.

He harbored resentment towards almost everyone in the team.

The reason is quite simple.

He was among the top three in his class at school, which was his proudest achievement.

But once he actually joined the team, he discovered that what he was so proud of seemed to be disregarded by everyone.

To put it bluntly...

I just didn't see any admiration in people's eyes.

You could even say they ignored it!

How could he, who was so high and mighty in school, possibly bear this for a short time?

Kudo Shinya is another story.

But what are Nara Kazama and Uchiha Jin?

Although they come from wealthy families, their grades in class are only average or below average. Why do they look down on him, an "excellent" student?

Just because of their background?

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but look at the inner armor on Uchiha Jin's body.

It's something he may never get in his lifetime.

Why?

Just because he is an ordinary citizen?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his eyes naturally turned fierce.

Obviously.

He never even considered that their grades were below average, simply because they didn't want to compete.

The top students in Class B are of little appeal in Konoha.

It's just a way to fool the common people; which of the powerful families would take this honor seriously?

Shortly after.

The group arrived at the supply depot and, using the mission scrolls in their hands, directly received three wagons full of supplies, as well as a civilian escort team of eight people.

Yes.

Although scroll technology existed in this era, the cost could not be reduced.

Therefore, unless it is an important or high-value item, it is still transported by mules and horses by civilians.

"Master Ninja, shall we depart now?"

"Well, let's go!"

Shin Kudo appeared extremely proud in the face of this group of civilians.

Yes.

Even if he was a commoner before, the moment he became a ninja, he and the real commoners became two different classes.

When compared to the powerful clans of Konoha, his status seems quite low.

But when faced with these genuine civilians, his pride as a ninja was instantly revealed.

Chapter Nineteen: Encounter with Kirigakure at the Konoha Border

The Land of Fire is a place of beautiful scenery.

In the entire ninja world, the Land of Fire is rich in resources and has four distinct seasons, making it a truly blessed land.

Think of Amegakure, where it rains all year round; Sand Village, deep in the desert; and Iwagakure, a country entirely made of rock...

Looking at the entire ninja world.

Every other place has its shortcomings, but the Land of Fire in Konoha is truly without any flaws whatsoever.

This is why Konoha is always targeted by all the other ninja villages whenever a war breaks out.

This is a piece of fatty meat.

Everyone in the ninja world is greedy.

Even now, walking in the wild, surrounded by lush vegetation, flocks of birds and animals, with golden sunlight shining down and a gentle breeze caressing your face, anyone can feel a sense of languor.

Among their ranks, civilians were working hard.

As for the ninjas in their squad, they sat casually on the supply truck, leisurely looking at the scenery around them.

Yes.

We are currently within the Land of Fire, and under normal circumstances, we are unlikely to encounter enemies.

People can't stay tense for long periods of time, so the team naturally appears somewhat sluggish these days.

On the last carriage of the supplies transport team.

Uchiha Jin sat cross-legged, seemingly unconcerned about the beautiful scenery around him.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Before I could stop thinking, I had that conversation with Shisui.

Whether it's right or wrong, he also finds it difficult to define.

On the one hand, after hiding for so many years, he naturally felt extremely repressed, and he naturally wanted to find someone to talk to.

But more importantly...

This is more of a test of stopping the flow of water.
