Chapter 194 Assessing the Situation
How do ninjas avoid unexpected risks when performing tasks?
Don't expose yourself to others easily, and try to hide as many trump cards as possible. This is the key to turning danger into safety in critical moments.
Except for those famous guys who are chased by bounty hunters, wandering ninjas don't have very powerful roles. For the official ninjas of major ninja villages, these hyenas struggling in the gray areas of the ninja world rarely make it to the top. Guy.
Naturally, the group of people that the sand ninjas encountered didn't have any extraordinary abilities, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen to this level.
but……
Staying away from these people who are likely to cause trouble does not mean that the sand ninjas will turn a blind eye to them.
"It seems like they are planning something, probably to sow discord between us and other ninjas, so that the good fisherman will benefit..."
Daimaru smiled,
"That's all these guys are capable of."
"This is not a plan that ordinary people can plan. Are they really not going to get themselves burned? Wouldn't it be better to withdraw from the Kingdom of Sichuan..."
Qian Xin felt a little regretful about the choices of these people.
Those guys with ulterior motives took another big step towards death by dragging those innocent people with them.
"Daimaru, who do you think they will find to deal with us?"
Daimaru thought for a moment and then replied:
"It's impossible for the Mist Ninja to do so. They are too far away from here, and they don't have a strong will to interfere in the affairs of the Kingdom of Sichuan. Those small countries in the southeast are the Mist Ninja's sphere of influence;
As for Konoha ninjas, it's possible, but the news of our renewed alliance with Konoha Village has spread throughout the world;
Therefore, it is very likely that it is Yu Nin..."
This ninja village does not have a strong sense of existence, but its strength is not weak, especially after the emergence of Hanzo, who is known as a "demigod".
It is not easy to single-handedly keep the Rain Ninja Village, which is prone to frequent wars, from standing still in the ninja world.
"Rain Ninja?"
Ye Mu was a little confused;
"Aren't we allies?"
Daimaru sneered:
"The Kingdom of Rain, sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, hates the Konoha ninja the most, followed by the Sand ninja. Because of its weakness, it can only become a battlefield for the two parties to fight again and again...
Bowing to the Leaf Village and becoming one of the 'allies', it's just that the situation dictates that the strength is not enough.
Also, by the way, we Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja have never been allies..."
"How can it be?"
Yeme and Qian looked at Daimaru in surprise.
"Didn't Yu Nin also take part in the Chuunin Exams?"
Daimaru smiled and spread his hands:
"You guys should be clear about this. The other ninja villages all participated in the Chunin Exams because of invitations from Konoha. All the ninja villages that show up are allies of Konoha Village, but there is no alliance between them!"
"You mean..."
Yemu and Qian looked at each other with shocked expressions.
"We are not friendly with the rain ninja and grass ninja?"
"Being able to avoid fighting is for the sake of Konoha Village. It's enough restraint! The allies of our allies are not our allies..."
Orochimaru sneaked into the forest of death to attack the grass ninja; Gaara spared the Konoha ninja after sacrificing the rain ninja's blood.
Although it is all a coincidence, there is still a subconscious contempt and rejection of these small ninja villages.
The five major ninja villages of the five major countries are already a little crowded. It is a matter of course not to let more ambitious and powerful ninja villages come to the fore.
Taki-nin has owned Nanao Shigeaki for decades, and has called himself "Takikage" for so long. He has always wanted to become the sixth greatest ninja village, but he still can't do it;
During the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War, the rain ninja led by Hanzo once had the ability to influence the general trend of the ninja world, but in the end they gave up in a low-key manner?
They closed the door and called themselves "Takikage" and "Amekage", and they just had to have sex in private. After leaving their own village, who in the ninja world would admit it?
"We are the only Suna Ninjas who can barely be considered allies of Konoha Village. For the other small Ninja Villages, it's enough to support them no matter what happens. For important matters, we can't count on them as wallflowers..."
"So, if it's really a rain ninja or a grass ninja, don't show mercy?"
"Yes! Even if you are a Konoha ninja, you still have to rob the mission target. Just try not to kill him. If you accidentally kill him, you should have learned how to destroy the body and eliminate traces in the ninja school. Do it professionally and covertly. a little……"
You can't destroy the traditional friendship between the two villages that has existed for many years just because of a trivial matter!
"Are all the tasks of high-level ninjas so troublesome?"
"What do you think?"
Daimaru shrugged.
"Dealing with people is much more dangerous than dealing with the most ferocious giant desert scorpion! Everyone is doing this tacitly, and we can't act stupidly..."
"All right!"
Qian showed an incomprehensible expression,
"We probably understand what you mean, but are you looking down on us too much and treating us as soft-hearted fools?"
"Although it sounds a bit unpleasant to say, it is the truth! You guys, don't think that just because you kill a few bandits, you will feel that you are already a decisive ninja...
Being able to resist the desire to kill at critical moments is a sign of mental maturity;
Even if you accidentally kill the wrong person, it is really difficult to avoid carrying the burden of negative emotions in your heart. "
There is a very special mental illness called post-traumatic stress disorder. Of course, there is no such professional term in the ninja world, but every year there are still a very small number of ninjas who retire because they cannot adapt.
In the original timeline, Nara Shikamaru once had the idea of retiring because of his lack of strength and improper command during the first chuunin mission, which almost killed his subordinates.
Even such a talented guy is prone to problems, as can be imagined for ordinary ninjas.
Genin cannot go out on missions alone. In addition to their lack of strength and leadership, they also have the intention of letting their seniors help them get used to the profession of ninja.
For those who cannot adapt, it is better to retire early.
Compared with genin, Chi and Yome, who is about to become a fifth-year student, have performed well enough; but the leadership required by chunin, in addition to talent, the accumulation of various experiences is also a top priority.
The country of Sichuan, where fish and dragons are mixed, is a kaleidoscope that reflects the various aspects of ninja life.
"Look, sure enough, there's a rain ninja over there!"
Daimaru saw a team of four rain ninjas heading towards the wandering ninja camp through the eyes of the sand.
"I guess you guessed it right again this time..."
Nighteye seemed to have long been used to Daimaru's occasional bragging.
"This is not a random guess, but a conclusion reached through careful analysis..."
Daimaru boasted proudly, and then seemed to suddenly discover something,
"Huh?"
