As the saying goes, heroes appear in troubled times!
Although the war would bring a lot of people irreparable pain, it could also create a lot of heroes!
For example, Konoha's White Fang, Sannin, and Yellow Flash...
For ninjas, if they wanted to stand out, there was no better way than a war!
This was indeed what Aoba was thinking. He knew clearly that this was the final war between Konoha and Kumogakure. Moreover, it only lasted until Konoha's year 51. That is. Next year, Kumogakure will not be reconciled with Konoha.
Moreover, after this great war of Ninja World finally ended, what followed would be an incomparably peaceful period. All the big Ninja Villages were seizing this time to recuperate.
Therefore, the time left for him and Itachi might not even be a year.
If he missed this opportunity and wanted to raise his reputation again in this peaceful era, it would be very difficult.
Because there wouldn't be many opportunities!
Therefore, even if he didn't get to do the mission to go to the Land of Iron today, Aoba was still thinking about how to talk about this matter.
Who asked him to be so ambitious that he wanted to become the 5th Hokage!
Regardless of whether he could succeed or not, he did not want to give up this opportunity.
Looking at the determination in Aoba's eyes, Itachi seemed to have been convinced by him.
"You and I both know how cruel war is..." Itachi said this because he had seen the tragedy of war when he was four years old, and Aoba had lost everything because of this war.
"Of course, it is precise because of this that we have to participate. When we complete our respective ideals, we will completely end it!"
Itachi nodded. He only needed to know that Aoba did not say this because he was hot-headed.
"I have no objections. We can also use this mission to determine whether we are ready or not. But before that, you should first think about how to persuade Mikawa-sensei to agree to your crazy idea."
Aoba suddenly felt a headache. Although Mikawa was indeed a good Sensei, he was really stubborn in certain aspects.
To make him agree to accept such a dangerous mission was really a difficult problem!
However, he still had to give it a try to find out.
As he expected, when he proposed to Mikawa-sensei that he wanted to take the task, Mikawa refused without thinking.
Wasn't the last dangerous situation enough?
Want to do it again?
No, absolutely not!
However, under the insistence of Aoba and Itachi, Gekkou Hayate was the first to change sides.
In his words, 'my life was picked up by Aoba. I don't know how long I can live, so I might as well go crazy with everyone!'
If he could die on the battlefield, it would be the best end for a ninja.
Well, compared to helping others catch adulterers and being a bodyguard for a rich man, he felt that this was the task a real man should take!
It could be seen how much resentment Gekkou Hayate had accumulated in his heart.
Crazy!
They are all crazy!
Mikawa was so angry that he wanted to point at their noses and scold them.
However, doing this would not solve the problem.
This was especially true for Aoba, who was a ruthless person. If he took this mission and led the others, it would be too much for him!
Thus, Mikawa also calmed himself down.
Rather than being backstabbed by these brats, it was better to take the initiative to attack. At the very least, he would be able to grasp the dominant position in his hands.
After all, the main purpose of him leading the team as a Sensei was actually to protect them.
Therefore, after he couldn't make sense of it, he chose to give this hot potato to Lord Hiruzen.
If Lord Hiruzen, as the Hokage, could agree, then he had nothing to say.
Therefore, Mikawa didn't eat his meal and directly took this task to the Hokage building.
...
In the Hokage's office, at this time, Sarutobi was laughing and comforting Land of Tea's representative.
Recently, this scene had been playing out almost every day, making him very annoyed.
But there was no other way. For the sake of Land of Fire's name, he could only hope to drag these people away.
"Hokage-sama, is it really possible that such a big village like Konoha can't even mobilize a single person? Our requirements are not high. At least help us solve the urgent situation!"
The mouth of Land of Tea's representative was wet; there was no way. A great battle of Ninja World had caused them to suffer heavy losses.
It was not easy to see that they were about to reach the end, but in the end, just a few days later, Konoha and Kumogakure started fighting again!
Moreover, after fighting for more than a year, they were still in a deadlock. This was endless.
Sarutobi laughed bitterly. He also knew that what he did was a bit dishonest, but compared to Kumogakure's threat, Land of Tea was nothing!
At worst, after this war is over, when you send out missions in the future, the reward will be given a 98 discount, okay!
What?
Not agree?
That's good. You guys can go find other Ninja villages to give out missions.
Bang!
"You, Konoha, are really going too far!" Land of Tea's representative slammed the table heavily, trembling with anger.
"Don't be angry. Come, have a sip of tea. This is a special leaves that your Land of Tea provides to us every year. I usually don't want to drink it."
"You don't want to drink it? You can't solve the problem even if you don't drink it. Maybe someone will take the task after drinking it."
"Don't worry. I am a Hokage. How can I lie to you?"
"That's right. Let's drink a cup of tea peacefully and have a chat."
"Oh? Are you returning tomorrow? That is really too... *cough* a pity. Drink tea, drink tea. I will see you tomorrow and prepare some local specialties. Remember to bring them back. Land of Fire and Land of Tea have been friendly for generations. This is what we should do."
However, just as Land of Tea's representative was about to leave with a cold face, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Since Hokage-sama is busy with work, I will take our leave first." Land of Tea's representative held back his anger and prepared to leave.
Sarutobi didn't even want to stall him and seemed to be relieved.
"Lord Hiruzen, our Mikawa class wants to take the goods to Land of Iron's B-level mission..."
Huh???
Land of Tea, who had already walked to the door, was stunned for a moment. Then, without caring about anything else, he directly brought his people back.
"What did you say? Do you want to accept this mission? Great! I agree!"
"Right, I am the creator of this mission. Hokage-sama, what do you say? You will allow them to accept this mission, right?"
