The Grass Country is a small country located in the northwest of the Fire Country.
Unlike the Land of Fields and the Land of Rivers that Mu Yue had visited before, the Land of Grass not only has its own ninja village, Kusanagi Village, but is also considered one of the stronger ninja countries in the ninja world.
However, the awkward location of the Grass Kingdom means that its little strength cannot be fully utilized.
The Grass Kingdom borders four countries in total, two small countries and two large countries.
The two small bordering countries are Taki Country and Rain Country. Taki Country is located in the northeast of Grass Country. Due to its special terrain, Grass Country has no way to start and has no way to develop towards Taki Country. Rain Country is easier to attack as half of Grass Country's land borders Rain Country, but Rain Country is the strongest ninja village after the five major ninja villages and is too strong to be tackled.
The two big countries bordering it are the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. Needless to say, they cannot be provoked at all and can only lick their faces and serve as their younger brothers.
During the Second Ninja World War, the Rain Village had already proved to the Ninja World how powerful the five major ninja villages were. Even if the top-level combat forces could compete, the small ninja villages at other levels would only be crushed by the five major ninja villages and eventually lead to defeat.
As a small country, the Grass Country's way of survival is to help whoever wins, so Konoha, which always wins, becomes its solid ally.
Of course, it is impossible for the Land of Grass to completely side with Konoha. While being Konoha's younger brother, it will also show goodwill to Iwagakure to avoid being easily dealt with in the war.
Although the Grass Country has tried very hard to maneuver, it still cannot avoid becoming a battlefield for confrontation between major powers because its geographical location is too good.
Now the best battlefield for the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha is the Land of Grass, no doubt about it.
In fact, the location of the Rain Country is better, but because of its better location, it is more troublesome. If Iwagakure goes through the Rain Country to attack the Fire Country, it will not only have to face the powerful Rain Village, but will also arouse the fear of the Wind Country, because the Rain Country also borders the Wind Country.
Iwagakure has no idea about the Wind Country, so even though the Rain Country is in a better location, for it the Grass Country is the best route to invade Konoha.
Perhaps because the situation at the front line was good, this escort mission was particularly smooth. They did not encounter any attacks along the way, and they did not even encounter any robbers.
Mu Yue thought about it and it made sense. If an ordinary robber saw such a large convoy, he would know with a little thought that they would definitely hire ninjas as guards.
Of course, it may also be because during the war, the robbers did not dare to wander around for fear of being affected by the fighting between ninjas.
"Eh, there hasn't been any enemy for such a long time. Could it be that Kakashi is really right this time?" Obito said with some disappointment while sitting on the roof of the carriage and looking around but not seeing any trace of the enemy.
"I told you, I was just unlucky before. It's impossible for accidents to happen four times in a row." Kakashi said calmly.
He felt that this was normal, as it was what a C-level mission looked like. The previous few times were truly unexpected surprises. The first and third times could be considered S-level missions without any problem.
Once, two jonin appeared, and another time, a candidate for Raikage appeared. It was so exaggerated that Kakashi even doubted whether he would really bring bad luck.
"How about a race full of youth and passion?" Might Guy invited with enthusiasm.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse." Kakashi refused immediately. He didn't want to waste his energy in such a meaningless way during the mission.
"Forget it." Obito also rejected Might Guy's proposal because he felt that he could not win at all.
Obito didn't really want to participate in this kind of game which had no meaning and he was bound to lose.
If it was Kakashi who wanted to compete with him, Obito would be happy to agree.
"That's such a pity." Might Guy said with regret, then jumped off the carriage and ran at the same speed as it.
Mu Yue did not stop Might Guy. This amount of exercise was nothing to Might Guy. It could only be considered a warm-up.
And after leaving Konoha, Mu Yue would use perception ninjutsu from time to time to ensure that there were no enemies around.
If you can keep your Byakugan open for a long time, it wouldn't be so troublesome, but it would consume too much chakra and the cost-effectiveness would be very low.
Since there were no enemies, the bored Obito went around looking for people from the food transport team to chat with. He talked about everything, including work, life and family.
"How much do you get for completing a commission?" Obito asked curiously.
"Commission?" The worker who was asked was a little confused at first, but then he thought that Obito might be asking about salary.
"When there is a lot of work, I may make seven thousand taels a month, but usually it's around five thousand taels." The worker thought for a moment and replied.
"Do you work very few hours every month? How come you only make 5,000 taels a month?" Obito asked in confusion, scratching his head.
The minimum commission fee for a D-level mission is 5,000 taels, and there is no tax on this lowest-amount D-level mission commission fee. Mu Yue still divides the commission fee equally. Obito can earn 5,000 taels by completing four D-level missions, which usually only takes an afternoon.
Obito's words silenced the worker, who didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Are the working hours short? Of course not. I basically work every day. But sometimes the salary is higher so I am busy day and night.
"We ordinary people are certainly no match for you ninja masters," the worker finally said.
This is the disparity in the world. The money a ninja spends on purchasing ninja tools every month may be something that an ordinary family may not be able to spend in a year.
Obito didn't quite understand the difference. Why was there such a huge gap? He couldn't figure it out.
When the convoy arrived at the border of the Fire Kingdom and was about to enter the Grass Kingdom, Mu Yue asked all the disciples to return to the carriage to issue a warning.
"Next we are going to enter the Grass Kingdom. The Grass Kingdom is very dangerous right now. You need to be vigilant at all times." Mu Yue reminded with a serious face.
"There are thousands of ninjas fighting in this country right now. Anything can happen."
Mu Yue then spent half an hour preaching and explaining the cruelty of war to several disciples.
Mu Yue is capable of protecting himself and his three disciples in the war, but he doesn't want Obito and the others to underestimate the war because of this.
Any war is cruel, will sacrifice many people and destroy many beautiful things.
Even the most jumpy Obito showed a cautious expression at this time and did not say any questioning words.
After entering the Land of Grass, the air seemed to have a more solemn and murderous aura, and the environment on the road also began to change.
Mu Yue and his companions began to gradually encounter ninjas, but they were either their own Konoha ninjas, or ninjas from the Land of Grass, which were considered allies.
Based on observing the atmosphere of the ninjas, Mu Yue guessed that the situation was not bad, otherwise the expressions of those ninjas would have been more serious.
"Is it finally time for the first normal C-level mission?" Mu Yue thought to herself.
They have completed three C-level missions but there is no C-level completion record in their resume. This team is really unique.
As they got closer to the destination of the mission, Mu Yue sensed more and more ninjas through perception ninjutsu.
So Mu Yue switched to using the Byakugan, because perception ninjutsu can only sense chakra, while the Byakugan can directly see who the person is.
Every hour, Mu Yue would open his Byakugan and look around. All ninjas within a radius of 1.5 kilometers could not escape Mu Yue's Byakugan.
In the end, the grain transport team led by Mu Yue arrived at Konoha's camp in the Grass Country battlefield without being attacked once.
"Mu Yue, why are you here on the battlefield?" Minato asked in surprise when he saw a familiar figure.
In Minato's understanding, it is impossible for Mu Yue to appear here, because Mu Yue is a teacher, and now he is still studying in the Ninja School.
Unless Konoha is facing a life-and-death moment, it will not let an excellent ninja school teacher like Mu Yue go to the battlefield.
"I'm a trainee teacher. Actually, I'm similar to a guiding jonin in charge of a class. This time, I'm leading the students to carry out a C-level war mission." Mu Yue explained with a smile.
"So that's it, carrying out a logistical mission." Minato looked at the grain transport convoy over there and roughly guessed what mission Mu Yue had accepted.
"Mu Yue, try to keep your students in the camp and not move around. Iwagakure has not made any movement for two weeks. They may be planning a major attack." Minato reminded that this camp is behind the front line and is very safe.
He knew that there were two students from the Ninja School in Mu Yue's team, so he was a little worried.
"We won't run around." Obito felt looked down upon.
"That's the best. Only by obeying your teacher's orders can you become an excellent ninja." Minato didn't care about Obito's words, but responded with a kind smile.
"This guy really looks like Mu Yue teacher when he smiles." Obito couldn't help but complain in his heart, and the guess that Mu Yue and Minato were brothers who had been separated for many years couldn't help but come to his mind again.
"It looks like there won't be any accidents on this mission." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
The mission has been completed at this point. All we have to do now is wait for the food to be unloaded and take a short rest before returning to Konoha.
Crack!
Suddenly there was a loud bang and a firework rose and bloomed in the distance.
Boom! !
Immediately afterwards, there was a violent explosion, and the fire was so fierce that it could be seen clearly even from a long distance.
"Oh no, Iwagakure launched a large-scale raid!" Minato looked serious.
The signal just now was Konoha's highest level alert signal on the battlefield. All Konoha ninjas who saw it must be prepared to join the battle.
Kakashi looked at the signal in the sky with a look of surprise. Even students in the ninja school would know what this signal meant.
"Will I really bring bad luck?" Kakashi was a little unsure of himself, and sent out the highest level warning signal as soon as he arrived at the battlefield.
Mu Yue was also a little surprised, and he also knew the meaning of this signal.
"Who could the enemy be, the Third Tsuchikage? It shouldn't be that, could it be..." Mu Yue's eyes flickered as she guessed the main force of the Iwagakure's attack this time.
