Kawanokuni.

A small country with lush greenery and many rivers.

The five great powers do not share borders with each other, but there are many small countries that act as buffer countries, and the country of Kawanoki is the country that serves as a buffer zone between the land of fire and the country of wind.

The weak national strength and weak ninjas make them completely unable to resist in the face of external threats.

You can only go along with it.

In peacetime, it can also be called a buffer country, but in war years, such a small country is a stepping cloth for a big country and a victim of war.

"This is the situation in Kawanokuni. Before the campfire, Shino said to the two girls calmly.

The orange-yellow light of the fire illuminated the side of his face so brightly that it was impossible to see his expression.

It was getting dark, and when the 14th detachment came out of the izakaya, they marched hastily, stopped when they came here, and temporarily stationed there, lit a bonfire, boiled a pot of hot soup, and began to eat dinner.

They had already entered the territory of Kawanokuni, and Shino briefly introduced the two of them to the matter of Kawanokuni. Although he is a ninja in the land of fire, he does not shy away from these things, but only objectively talks about the dark side of the ninja world. After all, the two ninjas in front of him are also members of the Shadow Division, and they will come into contact with this kind of thing sooner or later......

"In addition to the oppression of the big countries, all kinds of underground organizations and rebel ninja groups also like to set up bases in such small countries, and this kind of big country and big ninja villages are within the reach of the most suitable for them to develop their forces and carry out covert activities. Shino continued, "Sakura-chan, the main body of the underground bounty office you destroyed earlier is distributed in a small country like Kawanokuni. ”

These underground organizations rarely establish their bases within the territory of the five major powers, because they cannot compete with the power of the Great Ninja Village, and often a few dark teams will destroy the important bases of the underground organizations.

On the other hand, small countries, lacking the ability to confront them, can only allow them to take what they want and do whatever they want. “

Most of Orochimaru's bases are also based on the territory of these small countries, and his experimental materials are often the people of these small countries.

"This kind of country is just RBQ......," Sakura said with emotion.

"What BQ??" Shino asked, turning his head for some reason.

"It's nothing, Captain, you misheard...... Sakura quickly explained.

The true meaning of this word is too shameful to be said!

The girl hurriedly changed the subject.

"Then again, our trespassing into the territory of Kawanokuni is also an act of contempt by a large ninja for a small country, right?" Sakura asked, scratching her cheek.

Shino nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food in the hot soup, stuffed his mouth with food, and replied vaguely, "yes...... Did you just realize it?"

This is the case with the great powers.

Theoretically, they swept through the territory of Kawanokuni in a combat posture, which was an act of trespassing on the territory of another country...... But in fact, there is a saying between big countries that they need permission to enter the territory of other countries, and big country ninjas pass through or do missions in small countries without any notification. Even Konoha of the Great Ninja Village, who claims to be the friendliest in the ninja world, is the same.

This contempt for small countries has caused a lot of suffering to the people here and is a breeding ground for hatred......

"Then the life of the people of a small country should be miserable...... Being bullied by various forces in the ninja world," Sakura said with her eyes wandering away, a little absent-mindedly, "That's why they hate us." It is precisely because there is a soil of hatred that such an organization is born, right?"

The mentality of a small country hating a big country, Sakura now understands it as well. In the previous missions of the Land of Waves and the Land of Snow, as well as some hidden missions in the shadows, I have come into contact with some people who think this way, believing that the suffering of small countries is caused by large countries.

Or more deeply, it is caused by the current pattern of the five major powers and the long-term war between the five countries.

If Sakura wasn't from the Land of Fire, she would definitely like that.

To a large extent, this is true, but peace cannot be achieved by dissolving the five powers, as those might think.

"Well, small countries sometimes give birth to excellent ninjas, such as Sanshoyu Hanzo. It would be a headache if such a ninja was desperate to take revenge on the five great powers out of hatred......" Shino sighed, "However, the biggest problem is the mutual hostility and hatred between the five great powers, which is the source of most of the tragedies in the world. If peace can be achieved between the five powers, the ninja world will be much calmer. ”

"Forget it, don't overthink it, it's not something we should think about. ”

Shino's thoughts are similar to those of most of the upper ninja.

I have a lot of contact with things, I have a certain vision, I know what the problems of this world are, and I want to live in peace.

- As long as they are not perverted, who would expect to constantly carry out dangerous missions and live a day of dancing with death?

It's just that they don't know what to do, they may have some ideas, but they don't dare to put them into action, knowing that the wall of reality is extremely hard, and they don't dare to rush to hit it.

Going with the flow is the best portrayal of them.

This is the common idea of the upper ninja who are the elite of the ninja world.

Realistically speaking, if Sakura's strength also stays at the level of Kaminobi, she will also become such a person. On the other hand, if she doesn't even reach the shadow level, there is no need to worry about salty radishes, and it is not her turn to take care of that kind of thing.

"Inherit old hatreds and create new ones...... If ninjas can't get out of this reincarnation, there will be no true peace in this world. Sakura said lightly.

"Hehe......" Shino declined to comment.

"Let's get down to business! It's not far from the Yin-Yang Bridge, and you should be able to get there on time tomorrow. The task can be tough, though...... We may encounter a scorpion or even a large snake pill! According to the information collected by the intelligence department, the strength of the Red Sand Scorpion is quite strong, and it may not be weaker than the horn. ”

"So, let me repeat it again, don't take the initiative against the people you know unless you have to, the other party is very strong, the risk of fighting is very high, we must try to avoid fighting!"

Shino imagined that the best way to complete the mission should be to secretly observe the information exchange between the scorpion and his subordinates, and then capture the scorpion's subordinates alive, and use the clone to track down the scorpion, and obtain their information as much as possible without alarming Xiao.

In short, the premise of all actions is to try not to be aware of Konoha's actions.

"That's it. The captain fiddled with the fire, glanced at the dark moon whose eyelids were a little sticky, and said, "Let's rest after eating!"

"For tomorrow's mission, you must recharge your energy tonight and get ready!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The night passed quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, the 14th detachment set off in the morning light, galloped through the territory of the country of Sichuan, and went all the way up the river.

Shino's time was jammed, and when it was close to noon, he led the two of them to the vicinity of the bridge.

The 14th detachment found a hidden shaded place by the river and stopped.

The captain looked at the map and compared the terrain to confirm their location.

"The Yin-Yang Bridge is ahead," Shino said, he took the map back into his arms and took a deep breath, "Next, we will use the most covert movements, quietly approach the Yin-Yang Bridge, and secretly observe-"

Whoosh——!

Shino's words were interrupted by dozens of kunai that broke through the air!
