Section 53 Sights and Stories in the Capital of the Land of Fire
In the evening, the convoy chose an open place to camp, and more than a dozen carriages surrounded the city in a large circle, in which men and horses were located.
After dinner, dozens of people returned to their respective tents, and after a long day's travel, everyone was very tired, and they rested early, and there was still a long way to go tomorrow.
The captain of the guard, the whole guard, arranged the patrol of the escort team at night, and the members who did not have patrol duties also rested early.
Ninjas usually carry their own tents and the like when they go out on this type of escort mission, and it is also very convenient to have a seal scroll to carry these small items.
Inside the tent of the Konoha Ninja Squad, a small discussion is going on.
"Guys, what do you think about this bandit attack today?" A group of teachers spoke first.
"I'll say first," Uzumaki raised his hand immediately, a habit developed in school, to raise his hand first when he wanted to speak, "This gang of bandits is too vegetable, poor equipment, poor force value, poor organization, poor intelligence, it's just useless, I'm curious, how did they survive?" ”
"The main thing is that they chose the wrong opponent today," Kaguya said, "and when I saw that the convoy was rich in supplies, I wanted to intercept it when I got dizzy." A convoy of this size will usually be escorted by a ninja squad or a samurai team with a little bit of strength. ”
"There is still no problem for such a bandit team to attack a mountain village or something." Ming continued.
"Kenta, what about you? What are your thoughts on this battle today? Seeing that Kenta didn't take the initiative to discuss, the group of teachers asked directly by name.
"As far as the bandits are concerned, it's too unprofessional." Kenta replied: "Since you are a bandit, it is a desperate job, and if you want to live well, you must have professional skills in place and intelligence analysis in place." ”
"The long-range attack of the archery team, the archer training is seriously not in place, the equipment is not good, the archer skills are not good, even the sneak attack did not shoot a few people, when the battle is close to the enemy, the archery team can also play on the side to assist, as a result, when they charge, the archery team is actually all on the side to watch the excitement."
"When the melee team charges, there is no discipline, they all do their own thing, and this kind of rabble is indeed accurate against a small caravan with no escort force."
"As the leader of the bandits, although he also has a lower ninja level, and it seems that he also has a certain amount of ninja training, but he doesn't even have a long-range attack ninjutsu, so he is really scum."
"On the other hand, on the side of the escort team," Kenta continued, "the training is well-trained, and the ordinary team members basically have the combat level of physical skill and shinobi, and they are also very disciplined in battle, and there is no problem with the command of the escort captain." ”
"The shortcomings of the escort force are that there are no long-range attack methods, and there is a single means of protection."
"This is also the reason why samurai are gradually declining and ninjas have become mainstream." The teacher added: "Ninja attack methods are diversified, long-range ninjutsu, hand-to-hand physical arts, ninjutsu, illusions, sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu, etc., have developed into a systematization. ”
"Alright, that's all for today." The teacher said, "Although the escort team has arranged a night patrol, our class has also been hired to escort this caravan to the capital safely. ”
"Therefore, we also have to be on duty at night. I was on duty for the first shift, the second shift for Uzumaki Kiku, the third shift for Kenta Uchiha, and the fourth shift for Kaguya, with each shift being 3 hours. ”
After that, there were no more bandits robbing the road, and the entire convoy reached the capital of the Fire Nation safely.
Once you arrive at the gate of the capital, this escort mission is considered a successful completion. successfully got the employment money, and the team parted ways with the fat boss Yamamoto's team.
"Teacher, where are we going to stay in the capital?" While looking at the bustling capital, Uzumaki asked the teachers, "Are we going to find a random hotel to live in?" ”
"No, Ju." The teacher replied, "Our Konoha Ninja Village has a big reception in the capital, and under normal circumstances, we Konoha ninjas stay at our reception when we go to the capital. ”
"Our Fire Nation capital is prosperous, isn't it?" A group of teachers led the way in front and said, "Similarly, there are a lot of tasks here, and in our Konoha Ninja Village's annual tasks, the capital city of the Fire Country will account for a large proportion." We in Konoha have resident ninjas in the capital. ”
"Let's hurry up, it's still early today, we have arranged where to stay, and we can also take a good look at our beautiful capital."
"Teacher, hurry up, I can't wait to go shopping." Ju urged on the side.
Soon, the group arrived at the reception of the capital of the Konoha Garrison Fire Country.
A large square courtyard of almost one square kilometer, the mission hall, the guest house, the canteen and even the medical ninja are stationed here, there are resident ninjas here, but most of them are short-term ninjas, and there are hundreds of people in total.
The mission hall is relatively close to the gate, and there is an endless stream of customers who come in and out to hang tasks and ninjas who receive tasks and hand in tasks, so it seems that this is really an important stronghold of Konoha.
After settling down in the place where he lived, Akimichi and his entourage took Kenta and a few people to walk around the capital.
Compared with Konoha Village (a village, with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands and an area of dozens of square kilometers, it is a very large village), the commercial atmosphere here is even stronger, and some large companies and caravans have a lot of stations here.
Occasionally, you can meet people with a particularly strong aristocratic style on the street, and they come over arrogantly.
The teacher said that the nobles of the Fire Country are basically in the capital, and the rich people also like to live in the capital.
However, in Kenta's opinion, this is what the capital of the Fire Nation looks like.
Although it seems to be prosperous, in such a place where wars are frequent and personal combat power is extremely high, Kenta sees that the city guards here are actually composed of samurai, and it looks very unreliable at first glance.
It feels like a team of elite ninjas can easily break through such a city, like if the battle between some ninja villages takes place in the capital, then there is no resistance at all. Such as the battle of the middle ninja exam in the plot.
Kenta really couldn't understand why Ninjamura, who had absolute power in several major countries, didn't grasp the power of the country. The nobles represented by the rich and powerful daimyo actually easily stuck the necks of the various ninja villages.
It's not like power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
This world is a bit chaotic, it feels like a hodgepodge, there are feudal lords with huge power, and the military strength of various countries is actually mercenary ninjas.
Kenta felt that if he really wanted to conquer the sea of stars, then before that, it was necessary to unify the ninja world, unify the resources and combat power of the ninja world, and a stable rear was extremely important.
After a walk, except for Uzumaki, who has a talent for shopping, everyone feels that it is not interesting, and it is important to go back to the reception early to rest.
The teacher said that if he could receive the escort task to return to Konoha Village tomorrow, everyone would return to Konoha tomorrow.
