Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 191 Questions

Looking at all that he had created, Toshiro formed hand seals again, controlling the water flow to create a water sphere less than a meter in diameter.

After adding something to the water sphere, I controlled it and it began to slowly rotate downwards along my head.

I gave myself a quick rinse.

The things he added to the water sphere were his own toiletries.

This is for use when performing "Water Release: Safranbori Technique" during missions.

After quickly washing himself and controlling his chakra to remove some of the moisture from his clothes, he sat down by the fire to warm himself.

"Abundant chakra, that's really convenient!"

Seeing his actions, Uchiha Homura, who was used to such things, said with some envy.

They didn't have the same freedom as Toshiro to use these ninjutsu without restraint. Although they were using simple D-rank ninjutsu, these 'ordinary people' still expended some energy.

Such pointless consumption is unacceptable to them.

"Alright! Stop talking nonsense! You and Asaka take Nana and the others to wash up first. After we eat, I'll check on her injuries."

It was the first time that a young girl named Uchiha Nana had been on such a dangerous mission behind enemy lines with them. Although she was not a newcomer to the battlefield, she was still injured.

"Yes! Yes! Let's go over there first! Let's ignore these guys for now~"

I went to wash up with these female companions first!

And at the end, he didn't forget to add, "You're not allowed to peek!"

As she spoke, she gave all her male companions a fierce look.

You could read her meaning just from her eyes, as if she were saying: Why are you still here?

There was nothing we could do; this was a temporary place we'd found. Although the washroom was in a corner and there were things to block out the noise, some sounds still managed to get through uncontrollably.

However, none of them are very old, except for three boys: Toshiro, Tetsu, and Ryuka, who are a bit older.

but……

"Hurry up, guys!"

Toshiro, who had just sat down to rest, had to get up again and lead his companions out of the cave.

Fortunately, time was short, and the girls finished in about ten minutes.

……

[The dehydrated vegetables from this store are no good! And the dried meat this time was overcooked!]

"Toshiro-senpai! I heard that the Land of Lightning has also joined the war?"

As Toshiro was eating his lunch and wondering if he should buy supplies from a different store, he heard Shisui's question from across the room.

"Yes!"

"You seem to care a lot about these things!"

"I'm just concerned about the course of the war and hope it can end soon."

Upon hearing Toshiro's words, Shisui simply answered Toshiro's question and then fell into deep thought.

He got so lost in thought that he forgot to eat the food he was holding.

The great war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth has been going on for two years.

The Land of Earth was unable to defeat the Konoha ninja in front of them, and Konoha was powerless to drive the Iwa ninja back to their homeland.

The two sides are locked in a stalemate!

This caused the various ninja villages, which had been closely monitoring the course of the war, to begin to stir with restless activity.

The Land of Lightning was just the first to fall victim!

As far as Toshiro knew, not only the Land of Lightning, but also the Land of Water to the east were taking action. Their ninjas frequently came here to gather intelligence.

God knows what these people are thinking. This is the inland area, and these Mist Ninja have traveled thousands of miles to come here to gather intelligence. They really went to great lengths!

As for the Land of Lightning, they waited silently for nearly two years. When they finally made their move, it was astonishing.

They landed directly across the sea, using the Land of Frost and the Land of Rice Fields as their bridgeheads, and began to clash with Konoha and Iwa ninja.

This made the situation on the battlefield even more chaotic. Three-way battles between Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure occurred frequently.

"Don't think about it so much! Just eat your food! It's getting cold~ These things are beyond the understanding of a little kid like you!"

Looking at this future "Shisui of the Body Flicker," Toshiro hadn't expected that the other person, at such a young age, would already be paying attention to these things.

They don't look like his two peers at all!

"Senior! Why do you think there's war? Why do people fight each other endlessly? Can't they just live in peace?"

"Um……"

I was just trying to be helpful by reminding him, but I didn't expect him to ask me so many questions.

None of these geniuses in the family are easy to deal with!

"How should I answer your question...?"

Not only Uchiha Shisui, but even the clansmen who were eating slowed down their movements.

Each of them pricked up their ears, their bright black eyes wide with curiosity, staring at Toshiro. Their eager expressions made Toshiro feel a little embarrassed not to answer.

"Shisui! You are a genius of the family. Have you ever thought about how many secret medicines you've used and how much meat and vegetables you've eaten to grow so strong?"

"Have you ever considered where all these precious medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruits, beef, mutton, and seafood came from?"

"No... but what does all this have to do with the war?"

Upon hearing Toshiro's words, not only Shisui, but also Homura and the others beside him were puzzled.

According to their traditional beliefs and the village's propaganda, wars only break out slowly because of the accumulation of hatred between people.

"Zhi Shui, you must understand that from the moment a person is born, they consume the world's resources. An ordinary person will die of thirst if they don't drink water for three days, and will starve to death if they don't eat for seven days."

Those with "ability" can feast on fish and meat every day, with countless servants tilling the fields and herding livestock for them, while they reap the benefits without lifting a finger!

"And those ordinary people at the bottom of society also want to live this kind of 'good life,' where others do the work for them while they just enjoy themselves!"

However, with the current level of productivity, the number of "freelancers" that the world can support is limited. Those "freelancers" who are capable or have resources will suppress "ordinary people" in order to ensure that their descendants can live the same life as them generation after generation.

The conflicts thus began to accumulate imperceptibly... and then one day, they would suddenly erupt because of something insignificant!
