Chapter 43: Root Assassination

"Is there nothing that can be done?"

"How? Yes, merit accumulation and then exchange for ninjutsu. ”

At this time, the person who complained just now spoke, and it was only then that Kaguya noticed that the other party's right hand was empty.

"I'm an example of someone who fought hard to make a meritorious service on the battlefield and get a reward. But what about the result? The consequence of a civilian ninja coming out on top is to get a seat that doesn't deserve to be taken, and then lead your squad headfirst into the enemy's trap. Although we are the ones who are pathfinders, can you understand the pain of being cut off by the enemy at the moment of the start of the war? ”

Murata Mu said with a face full of frustration: "I was one of the first people to go to the battlefield at the beginning of the war, and to be honest, I thought I would be able to show my skills at first, and then return to Konoha with honor. But the reality was that on the first day, my team was wiped out, and I escaped because I was stunned by the explosion. ”

"Later, I participated in the counteroffensive of Barrel Mountain, and in that battle I took out a crippled Kaminobi. He had been devastated by the explosion, and I couldn't stand it and walked over to give him a good time. Then I was sentenced to meritorious service and got the opportunity to exchange for precious ninjutsu, and my status was also promoted from lower ninja to middle ninja. ”

"But...... That's not right. My combat ability can't be compared with the sand ninja's side, and I don't have enough experience, so in the next battle, I fell into the enemy's trap with my team, and my right hand was cut off by the trap, and my teammates died there one by one to save me, and in the end, I was the only one who ran back to the main camp alive. ”

"The promotion mechanism of the village is not normal at all, it is obviously the second large-scale battle, but we are still in a state of sharpening our knives. On weekdays, the highest task performed by the shinobi is only C-level.,The battle against ordinary people and the battle between ninjas are completely two concepts.,Plus our background leads to no way to get better training.,So we're often confused when we go to the battlefield.。 ”

"Ninja fights are brutal and swift, and there is no such thing as being evenly matched. On the battlefield, it is to attack the weak with the strong, and kill the most enemies at the minimum cost, although the sand ninjas are sparse in number, most of the ninjas have been in contact with assassination missions for a long time, and their combat experience far exceeds ours. ”

"But then we won, didn't we?"

Kaguya made a puzzled voice, after all, judging from the front-line battle reports, with the efforts of Tsunade and White Fang, the Sand Ninja Front has been defeated and retreated, and now it has retreated to the national border, completely changing from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive posture.

"That's just to calm the emotions in the village, and it's also to ignore the merits of us ordinary ninjas. In the early and middle stages of the war, we, the civilians who occupied 80% of the village, endured our lives and used our corpses to block the enemy's attack. Blocking battles, ambush battles, surprise battles, and offensive battles are all the first to charge, and then the first to die! ”

"Our group has the largest number of deaths, but every time the village doesn't say a word, only to publicize the guys from the family. Tsunade-sama was able to extract the antidote from the corpses of our people, didn't the village tell you? The first test subjects for human experiments were also those of us. ”

"That's enough, you're talking too much about Murata."

Murata Makki's face was full of sadness, and it could be seen that he was actually dissatisfied in his heart.

"It's clear that they're all ninjas from the same village, but the treatment they get is completely different."

"If only the village could open up more resources...... Maybe there won't be so many people dead. ”

"Enough, the village has its own problems. Each ninjutsu is the accumulation of the painstaking efforts of the predecessors, if it can be passed on simply, it will soon be stolen by other ninja villages, and - resources are limited, compared to us ordinary people, the ninja bloodline from the family has a strong advantage, they grow faster, and the probability of becoming stronger is higher than ours. ”

"Stop complaining there, recognize the reality and accept it."

I see, is this the dilemma of the real civilian ninja?

No wonder it elicited such a huge reaction in the arena that day.

"So, isn't it a good thing for the Uchiha clan to establish a training school?"

Kaguya asked himself a puzzled question, if the common people endure so many difficulties, then one can imagine the terrifying cascading effect of the training school launched by the Uchiha. It's not as simple as throwing a stone into the pool, it's just throwing the mountain down and burying the whole lake!

It stands to reason that these people should be ecstatic.

“…… Little brother, things are not as simple as you think. ”

Oki expressed his worries with a bitter face: "Actually, everyone was happy at first, but soon rumors came out. It is said that the Uchiha were forced to establish a training school in order to fight against the high-top, and they are not for us at all, but to get the hole cards against the high-level. If we dare to join, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Konoha leadership. ”

"What ?!??"

Kaguya was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was a method of Danzo.

Good guy, act fast enough.

"We're already sad in the village, if the Uchiha really use us as pawns against the higher-ups. So if the higher-ups really think that we want to follow the Uchiha in rebellion - how many people will be implicated? ”

"And in terms of the attitude of the Uchiha before...... It's hard to believe that they're really selfless. ”

Murata Mu said directly: "It is impossible for me to say that I am not selfish. But if the Uchiha can really do what he says, he will support it, anyway, he should be cannon fodder for the high-level, and he should be cannon fodder for the Uchiha, so why don't we choose the side that can give more benefits? Anyway, in the end, it's all for Konoha. ”

"Murata, your statement is too direct, be careful of being taken away by the people in the shadows."

"The Shadows? They seem to be in the dark, all of them are murderous, and the smell of blood has not dried up. ”

At this time, the conversation between Murata Maki and Oki caught Kaguya's attention.

"What's going on with being taken away by the people of the Shadows? Is it an order from the three generations of adults? ”

"Shh~!"

Oki covered Kaguya's mouth with a nervous face and looked around cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lord Miyome has never given such an order."

"However, it is true that since yesterday there have been more shadows wandering around in the village, and these people sometimes inexplicably take away people who support Uchiha's speech, and then release them back soon after."

"Put it back?"

"Yes, but the people who came back basically looked like they were stupid, and they scared the people nearby to speak."

"Some people want to go to the Hokage Building to report it, but no one cares. Then the report was quickly found and taken away, and the end was the same as those who openly supported the Uchiha. ”

With that, Damu looked around with a nervous face.

"The atmosphere in the village has been very strange lately, and you need to be careful if you are an orphan."

Kaguya thanked her sincerely.

At this time, he realized that only Tuan Zang dared to do such drastic methods, and it seemed that he and Yue Yong still underestimated Tuan Zang.

After leaving the barbecue shop, Kaguya plans to find Tsukiyong.

But what he never expected was that when he just walked into a sparsely populated alley, he was suddenly intercepted by the roots.

To be precise, the long-awaited root finally caught the opportunity to assassinate Kaguya.

It turns out that these days, Tuanzo has been ordering the root to keep an eye on Kaguya's movements, and if he finds an opportunity, he will kill Kaguya first. If Uchiha Tsukiyong dares to lead someone to avenge Kaguya, it will be a rebellion, not only will the people's hearts be lost immediately, but they will also be collectively crusaded. But if he doesn't take revenge - Danzou is even more emboldened, he will stop at nothing to hinder Uchiha's actions.

Don't underestimate Danzo, after all, he is the root of Konoha and the man who is best at acting in the dark.
