Konoha’s Light Chapter 77: Our Caoyin Village is suffering…
At night, the insects are silent and the birds are quiet.
Wuwei fell asleep on the floor, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
"Fake, fake, all fake! Why look up at the starry sky? It's simply an unrealistic fantasy!"
"The fate of an individual may be changed, but the future of the Country of Grass has long been doomed! No matter how hard we try, we can only struggle to survive in the cracks of the big country!"
"But... is it really useless? If you can become a strong man like the Hanzo of the Rain Country, maybe you can protect the village!"
"Impossible, my talent may be considered the strongest in Kusakakakushi, but Konoha's three ninjas are not weaker than me, and it is impossible for me to become that kind of strong man with such ordinary talent!"
"What should I do?" Wuwei looked at the boundless starry sky with confused eyes and said to himself, "Father, if it were you..."
On the other side, Soseki was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't be nervous, I'm Kaiichi Yamanaka, and I'm communicating with you using the Yamanaka Clan's secret art of communication."
"Long story short, that Wuwei seems to be hiding some of his strength. Considering this, he is probably Yan Yin's undercover agent!"
Silence, one second, two seconds...
Kaiichi Yamanaka couldn't help asking, "Why don't you talk? By the way, you can talk as long as you say it silently in your heart."
Asma couldn't hold back for a long time. After knowing the method, she quickly said, "Haha! I knew he was an undercover agent!"
Hai Yamanaka was taken aback, "I already knew?"
He also judged it based on his rich experience. When did Asma have such vision?
Asma laughed and said, "It's not just me, Soseki and Hong also know it!"
Haiichi Yamanaka's body outside of his mental consciousness couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth, "So, except for him himself who didn't know that he was exposed, all of us know and are still cooperating with him in acting?"
At this moment, he inexplicably felt that the boy named Wuwei was a bit pitiful.
Asma laughed, "Who told him to fool us for fools! However, Soseki was the worst, and he was taken aback for a while!"
Soseki sighed softly, "As long as it is a lie, it will be exposed one day, so I didn't actually lie to him!"
However, the truth can sometimes be more deceiving than a lie!
Hong worried, "Soseki, then you..."
Soseki said, "Don't worry about it. I cherish the present even more because of my wandering in confusion. I also hope that Senior Wuwei can come out of the past."
Asma muttered, "You are too kind, you are like this to undercover agents!"
Soseki smiled, "I don't know what the situation in the country of grass is, of course there is no need to refuse the power that can be drawn."
Asma said in surprise, "Wait, the undercover agents have come out, hasn't the country of grass been eroded yet?"
Kaiichi Yamanaka said, "First of all, it is not ruled out that Yan Yin intentionally creates the illusion that Kusanagi is controlled by them. Secondly, it is also possible that some of Kusanagi's forces have fallen to Yan Yin. If we make a judgment rashly , it is likely to push the power that was originally inclined towards Konoha to the enemy."
"So, our main task is still to inquire about intelligence!"
"I see."
Speaking, Yamanaka Kaiichi added, "Also, Soseki, you can try to get news from that boy named Wuwei, but you must be cautious!"
Soseki responded, "I know what to do."
…
Two days later, the group finally arrived at Caoyin Village.
Different from what Soseki and others thought at the beginning, Caoyin Village is not desolate, and even has a sense of prosperity.
This change surprised several people.
"Obviously there are so many bandits and robbers in the Country of Grass, how come Caoyin Village looks quite harmonious?" Asma asked, rubbing her head.
"Because those big people don't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all!" Wuwei mocked, "The only thing they will do is to use the interests of the country of grass to please other countries around them, using so-called diplomatic means to Maintain your own rule!"
After finishing speaking, he shook his head again, "Sorry, I was a little angry at the moment. By the way, since you have already arrived in Caoyin, let's separate here."
A few people didn't ask to stay, they just asked, "Senior Wuwei, where is your home? Before we leave, I would like to treat you to a meal."
"You saved me, so I should be the one to invite you." Wuwei said with a smile, "As for the accommodation, I don't actually have a place to live yet. After all, Ghost Lamp City is on a small island nearby."
"If you want to find me, you can go to the inn in the north of the village, and I should rest there."
"Then let's go to hand over the task first, see you, Senior Wuwei."
When the caravan left, Wuwei put away the smile on his face, "I don't even know about Ghost Lantern City, so it seems that they didn't come here for that."
…
Led by Kitahara Shigeharu, Soseki and the others came to an extremely luxurious mansion.
"Junin Yamanaka, the one who ordered this batch of supplies from Konoha is the Minister of Finance of our Country of Grass. It makes you laugh. In order to avoid the coveting of those bandits, we have to use the name of a caravan .”
Kaiichi Yamanaka was not surprised, this was something he had already explained before accepting the task.
Walking into the mansion, a middle-aged man with godly eyes is already waiting.
"My friends from Konoha, I have really worked hard for you." The middle-aged man invited them into the living room with great enthusiasm, "This is Nobuobu Ueno, Minister of Finance of the Country of Grass, who is also the initiator of this commission."
As soon as he came up, he began to pour bitter water.
"Our Country of Grass is suffering, we are really suffering..."
After explaining in turn how "difficult" the citizens, ninjas, and officials of the Country of Grass are, he changed the topic and mentioned the deep friendship between Konoha and the Country of Grass.
Finally, weeping to sublimate the theme, "For the peace of the ninja world and the friendship between the two countries, I hereby ask Konoha to help us with another batch of supplies!"
Asma looked at him with "admiration". The ammunition material was originally an extremely important strategic resource reserve.
It would be nice if I could sell it to you guys, but this time you plan to go whoring for nothing?
Kai Yamanaka tapped the table lightly with one finger, "I will truthfully tell Master Hokage about your demands. However, I have a proposal."
Nobuo Ueno smiled brightly, "Please tell me."
Hai Yamanaka smiled and said, "Why don't you just entrust our Konoha ninjas to eliminate bandits? In this way, not only will you not have to worry about supplies being robbed, but you can also ensure the safety of your own ninjas."
Nobuo Ueno's smile faltered for a moment, and he sighed in the next moment, "No, this is the internal affairs of our country of grass after all. If you ask Konoha's ninja to take action, you may be misunderstood by the people of your country! It doesn't matter if we are scolded, But how can you give your allies a bad name?"
Kaiichi Yamanaka didn't force it, "Is that so? It seems that I didn't think about it."
Nobuo Ueno smiled brightly, "Haha, Yamanaka Jonin is also thinking of us!"
Hai Yamanaka took a look outside the door, "It seems that it's not too early, we'd better leave early and go back to Konoha..."
At this time, Asma shouted according to the previously discussed procedure, "Mr. Yamanaka, let's go back to Konoha tomorrow. It's a rare time to come out. It's a pity to go back like this!"
"This..."
Seeing Haiichi Yamanaka was a bit embarrassed, Nobuo Ueno persuaded, "This little ninja is very reasonable, it's rare to come out once, and feel the style of our country of grass!"
Speaking, he has already arranged it, "Although my place is a bit 'rudimentary', it's okay to have a few more guests, Yamanaka Jonin, you guys just stay with me for one night !”
