Chapter Seventy-Four: Departure
The country of grass is a small country sandwiched between the land of fire and the country of earth, although the land area is only one-twentieth of the two major countries, but it also has its own ninja village, and its comprehensive strength is also considered to be the top among the small countries.

The country of grass is located in a good geographical location on the continent of Hokage, and there are many grassy hills in its territory, because the climate is suitable, the grassland is vast, and its citizens originally lived on the grassland, so when the country was established, it was named after grass.
There are many mineral deposits under the grassland, and mineral deposits are the most important source of wealth in the country of grass. Originally, the great powers with the abundant resources of the country of grass would not allow it to exist, but the country of grass can exist in the gap between the two powers for so many years, and naturally it has a reason for its existence.
The existence of these small countries is the result of the deliberate support of the big countries, because they need to arrange buffer places between them, and these small countries exist as a strategic buffer between the big countries, in short, the reason for the existence of these small countries is to provide a battlefield in the event of a war between the big countries. And the grass ninja village between the two great powers of fire and earth is a battlefield of preparation in the eyes of the great powers.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, this is a truth that has existed since ancient times, compared to the earth without extraordinary power, the fate of weak countries in the Hokage world is more pathetic, weak and small, they are destined to be manipulated by others, this is the sorrow of small countries, and it is also the sorrow of the country of grass. Like the country of rain, the birthplace of Yuehua Ai, is also a small country sandwiched between the big countries, and the situation of the country of rain is actually more unbearable than the country of drafting, because the country of grass is only adjacent to the two countries, while the country of rain is the separation between the three countries of fire, earth, and wind, which is also the reason why the rain ninja village will be reduced to the main battlefield of the second ninja war.
Small countries such as the country of grass, the country of rain, the country of rivers, the country of the moon, the country of waves, etc., the fate of these countries is quite similar, because except for the difference in geographical environment, their national nature is almost the same, they are just a preparatory battlefield for the big countries to manipulate.
Grass Ninja Village is a ninja village supported by the country of grass, it is the most powerful military force in the country of grass, although it can be called powerful, but after all, it is only relative, compared to the ninja village of the five countries, the grass ninja village is far worse, not to mention the number of ninjas and the comprehensive strength of ninjas, just talking about ninjutsu, grass ninja village can not come up with its own unique ninjutsu that can be praised.
Compared to the big country Kusa Ninja Village seems to be useless, but in fact, it is not. Although the country of grass is corrupt in domestic politics due to the secret manipulation and suppression of the big powers, the village of Kusanobi under its rule has a different style. Because of the lack of background, the grass ninja doesn't even have their own signature ninjutsu, but their ninjas have found another way, since they don't have their own, then they go to learn other people's ninjutsu.
The ninjas of the grass ninja village are good at studying the ninjutsu of other countries, not only secretly collecting the ninjutsu of other countries, but also trying to crack it while researching, like those general ninjutsu of the five major ninja villages, there are actually cracking methods within the grass ninja village, in general, the strength of the grass ninja village is small, but its ambition is not small, and this is also the most awe-inspiring point of the grass ninja village.
The situation and atmosphere of the Grass Ninja Village make it a ninja village that is good at learning, and compared to those small country ninja villages, the strength of the Grass Ninja Village is definitely worth their fear. To a large extent, in many ways, this Grass Ninja Village is like an island nation on Earth.
In Konoha Village, after the oil girl Zhihui told the task requirements again, he asked everyone to go back and prepare. The time required for this transnational mission is not short, and the oil girl Zhihui estimates that even if everyone does not appear to obstruct them on the road, it will take half a month to cross half of the land of the Fire Country and enter the Land of Grass. And this is just the time to go, if it is not counted as the time to run around for the task, even if it is just a round trip, it will be close to a month, so this time he specially explained a lot to Yuehua Ai them, in addition to asking them to bring the necessary forbearance, but also asked them to prepare for their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the next more than a month of travel.
After saying goodbye to Jiraiya early the next morning, Yuehua Ai and the people of the fifth class gathered at the gate of Konoha Village.
Seeing that Yuehua Ai was only carrying a simple backpack, instead of the kind of salute like a mountain as she imagined, Asma felt a little depressed.
Thinking that it was the first time he was on a long-term mission, in order to prepare the necessities of life for half a month, he carried a bag as big as him, and that was because he only brought half of the dry food or something.
He still remembered the scene when Red and Akai looked at him and laughed, and in the end, it was the oil girl Zhihui who told him that he didn't need to bring too many items, because the mission was not a no-man's land, and he only needed to bring enough money during the mission!
At that time, Asma was really embarrassed to death, but he didn't resent other people's ridicule of him, he was most resentful of his father, he didn't know why the other party didn't care about him at all, the other party obviously saw him stupidly preparing to salute dry food, but others just watched coldly, and didn't even remind him. If it weren't for Sarutobi's indifference, how could he have such an embarrassing situation, so when everyone else thought that he was lucky to have a father who was the Hokage, they didn't know that he had some resentment towards Miyome in his heart. So what he hates the most is for others to say in front of him that he is the son of the Hokage!
"Hmph, maybe this guy didn't bring any money at all, just a small amount of dry food!"
Staring at Yuehua's deflated backpack, Asma cursed maliciously in her heart!
Feeling the malicious eyes from behind, Yuehua Ai didn't even bother to turn her head back, Asma was just an immature little kid in his eyes, this kind of bear child who was in the rebellious period of youth, the more you took care of him, the more he was excessive.
With the scene of defending herself yesterday, Yuehua Ai is also a preliminarily familiar red and Akai. Noticing Hong's speechless eyes after seeing her backpack, Yuehua Ai threw a reassuring smile at her.
Although this is the first time he has been exposed to a task like this, which takes more than a month, he will not miss anything in the preparation before departure. For a long-term task like this, even if there is no reminder from himself, he will not be stupid enough to prepare too much dry food. His backpack was brisk, and it only contained enough food pills for him to use for three days, and the rest were all cash except for toothpaste and toothbrushes.
This time out of the mission Yue Hua Ai is to bring all his net worth, this half a year, including the silver taels that Zilai also gave him, as well as his own part-time income in the library, he put it all into his backpack, these cash are enough to have 20,000 taels, although its purchasing power is converted into RMB is only more than 1,000, but this more than 1,000 has the purchasing power of the eighties in the previous life!
In the 80s, cents were still circulating in the world, and ordinary people lived only two or three hundred a month!
There is money in his pocket, and he is not panicked, Yue Huaai didn't even bring a change of clothes on this trip, but what about that, anyway, there are villages and towns along the way, he can buy it wherever he goes, no way, he is rich and capricious. Although it was all his savings, he didn't want to keep a single or two after this mission. Because according to the content of the mission, the minimum mission this time is also a C-level mission, and if you still have to perform the earth ninja hunt, then this time it is likely to reach the B-level mission. Anyway, whether it's C-level or B-level, anyway, the task commission is guaranteed to be more than 100,000, even if the task commission is taken by the leading team Shangnin, but the rest is a point for the four of them, and it can almost be made up!
Yuehuaai is also very similar to Zilai in terms of money, both of them are people who must be happy in life, and they will never be stingy with money. And ninjas can always earn money while they are alive, and if the kind of lonely ninja accidentally hangs up in the mission, and the money he has saved for a long time has not been spent much, that is the most fucked up thing.
The oil girl Zhihui and the others left Konoha after registering the information at the doorman. Yuehua Ai looked at the gradually disappearing Konoha Gate, and her heart couldn't help but feel relaxed. In Konoha he always felt an indescribable depression, he knew that it was because of his own insecurity, because the water in Konoha was too deep, and there were so many strongmen in it that he couldn't allow him to relax a little mentally, and now as soon as he left Konoha, although there was still a ninja elite by his side, compared to the spiritual oppression of people in the entire Konoha Ninja Village, this was not a matter at all!
Although Yuehua Ai and Asma are a little wrong, the atmosphere of the team along the way is not gloomy. Even if Yuehua doesn't take the initiative to get close to everyone, Sunset Red and Maitkai are still quite friendly to him. And there is a lot of common language between the three of them, even if they don't talk about their hobbies of life, as ninjas, they always like to talk about topics related to their own cultivation.
Sunset Red is good at illusion, Maitkai is good at ninjutsu, and the two don't have much in common in cultivation, but they just met Yuehua Ai, a guy who is interested in all kinds of ninjutsu. Under his topic, the two who are good at different fields can talk surprisingly harmoniously.
The topic he raised was how to defend against other types of ninjas in his field of expertise. Sunset Red imagines how to deal with the strong physical arts by learning about Akai's physical cultivation skills, while Maitkai is able to figure out how to deal with the illusion ninja who gives him the most headache through the illusion cultivation explained by Red.
As the topic deepened, Yuehua Ai became more and more harmonious with Hong and Akai, and both of them even had a feeling that they met very late. Yuehuaai's senses for the two of them are also very good, and by chatting with the two about the cultivation of illusion and physical arts, he has also touched the bypass and has more inspiration for cultivation.
In the past few days, Yuehua Ai has completely integrated into this small group, and Asma, who was nervous about him before, has a much better attitude towards him, although he basically doesn't talk to him, but at least he is not sneering.
Such a change is not that Asma suddenly wanted to open it, but after a few days of getting along, he found that Yuehuaai's guy was really too difficult to deal with. Not only are they unable to help each other these days, but their companions are getting closer and closer to each other, and it is difficult for them to intervene when they talk about topics together. The feeling of being vaguely excluded is too uncomfortable, after two days of consideration, he can be regarded as understanding a lot, his previous actions are really not likable, rather than being quietly excluded from the group by Yuehuaai, it is better to lurk for the time being. So after that, his attitude towards Yuehuaai changed a lot, and he found that his relationship with Red and Maitkai gradually warmed up!
Asma's transformation didn't get much attention from Yuehua Ai, and he focused more on communicating with Red and Maitkai. Although he prefers to chat and fart with a soft and cute loli like Hong, these days, his most tendency is still on Maitkai, because the other party likes to communicate with him the most about physical cultivation problems, and Yuehua loves himself and is also very interested in Maitkai's physical cultivation, because he has a very high desire for the ultimate physical art of Bamen Dunjia!
