Chapter 49

Once you get used to it, you simply can't stop.

You have to understand.

Even in this ninja world where strength is paramount, wealth and supplies are quite important.

Nara Kazama, in particular, surprised him.

He was simply without a bottom line.

It was completely different from how the Nara clan was portrayed in the original work.

But thinking about it, it seemed normal.

The portrayal in the original work was too beautiful; things like the Will of Fire seemed like fairy tales.

But, in reality?

This is a faction; how could it be as perfect as in the original work?

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and the "Pot Shadow" Shimura Danzo, whom people in his past life loved to talk about, only revealed their true faces because they were in the main storyline.

Families like the Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, and Inuzuka, while having some presence in the original work, rarely appeared in the main storyline.

But, just think about it.

How could anyone who can truly form a clan be a naive, good person?

Especially the Nara clan, who are all about using their brains.

These clans are just like the capitalists of his past life; don't look at how glamorous they appear on the surface, in reality, they all eat people without spitting out the bones.

This is what's normal!

As for the Uchiha?

Perhaps because they descend from the line of Indra, son of the Sage of Six Paths, their strength was too great from beginning to end, and they simply disdained using such underhanded methods.

Before the founding of Konoha, in the era dominated by clans.

Relying on their strength, the Uchiha were enough to dominate a region; apart from the Senju clan, they could be called unrivaled.

But, it's a pity.

With the founding of Konoha, the major ninja clans began to join forces, plus the Uchiha clan was a mess of internal strife.

The Uchiha didn't understand political maneuvering, and their top geniuses were hoodwinked by the Hokage faction.

Otherwise, clan extermination?

What kind of international joke is that!

After figuring this out, Uchiha Jin recalled a phrase.

My lord, the times have changed!

Thinking of this, his mouth twitched, and he immediately took a deep breath and spoke.

"Let's do this."

"We'll split the explosive tags equally, and you'll be responsible for selling the medicinal herbs."

"Anyway, the Nara clan already has its own businesses; it'll be a bit more convenient for you to sell them."

"As for splitting the money, let's wait until the war is over."

Nara Kazama, of course, had no objections to this.

He directly took out a new scroll, put half of the explosive tags into it, and then tossed the scroll to Uchiha Jin.

Uchiha Jin didn't look at it and casually put it away.

He trusted Nara Kazama.

As the smartest of the Nara clan, there was no need to provoke him, an Uchiha, over such a small matter.

A few minutes later, Kudo Shin woke up.

Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama also happened to finish splitting the loot and rushed over.

As the strategist, Nara Kazama naturally had to take the lead in explaining such matters.

"Captain, I am very sorry."

"Although we repelled the Mist ninjas, Jin and I are weak in strength; we tried our best but only killed three of them, and as for the supplies, we only managed to save one cart."

"We have already sealed the corpses of the three Mist ninjas in a scroll."

"As for Ishikawa Shu, sigh!"

"This is a long story!"

"..."

Nara Kazama was full of emotion.

Of course, he also began to show that his talent for acting was too good.

A few words.

Not only did he highlight the two's contributions, but he also pinned the blame for the lost supplies entirely on Ishikawa Shu.

In summary, it was all that idiot's fault!

If he hadn't ignored advice and insisted on being blindly confident.

Otherwise, with the strength of the three of them, even if they couldn't kill the Mist ninjas, they could have barely managed to protect themselves.

But, there was no helping it.

Not only did this guy have no strength, but he also wouldn't listen to the two's advice, insisting on foolishly rushing out, and then he got beaten up by the Mist ninjas.

Now, he was directly critically injured.

It was only because the two of them relied on the 'Will of Fire', guarding the supplies on one hand while barely managing to save this guy, otherwise this idiot would have been beaten to death long ago.

So, to put it bluntly, it was all that idiot's fault.

Otherwise.

If everyone had guarded the supplies together, how could there be so much trouble?

Uchiha Jin was also greatly shocked after hearing this.

This, damn it.

As expected of a Nara!

If it weren't for this guy speaking up, he really wouldn't have known that he was so great?

So I am also an inheritor of the 'Will of Fire'!

Bang!

Kudo Shin, who had just woken up, was so angry that he punched a tree.

"This Ishikawa Shu is truly a piece of trash!"

"I had long discovered that this person was arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant of the situation."

"Doesn't he know that our mission is not to kill the enemy but to transport supplies?"

"I know about this now."

"When we reach the front-line camp, I will report it to Lord Miyamoto!"

Yes.

Kudo Shin actually believed it.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and everyone's contact had been very brief, he understood Ishikawa Shu's personality.

This was indeed something he could do.

Of course, more importantly.

Ishikawa Shu wasn't dead!

After he wakes up and is handed over to the front-line camp, the Anbu will naturally be able to pry the truth out of his mouth.

Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama had no need to tell such a lie.

Of course, more importantly, since the supplies were lost, there had to be someone to take the blame.

Otherwise, all three of them would be punished.

The village doesn't care about the reasons, only the specific results of the matter.

But, it's different now.

Since there was someone to take the blame, even if they had no merit, at least they wouldn't be punished.

As for Ishikawa Shu?

No one cared whether he lived or died.

The three people present had no good feelings toward him. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
