Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

"Some news has come back, but it's not very valuable." As he spoke, the Konoha ninja opened the folder in his hand, took out two intelligence reports, and handed them to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya reached out and took it, glancing at the information recorded on it, his brows furrowing even deeper.

The intelligence was simple: whether the ninja forces of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning had been mobilized, whether war supplies had been replenished, and whether troop strength had been increased or decreased.

This is normal, but it also indicates that there are definitely special changes within the Land of Lightning that even Jiraiya couldn't know about.

"Call Minato over here."

"Yes, Jiraiya-sama."

Shortly after the ninja left, Minato Namikaze lifted the tent flap and came in.

"Teacher, you are looking for me."

"Okay, come and take a look at this intelligence, and these locations I marked on the map." Jiraiya handed some intelligence to Minato Namikaze, then pointed to the field map hanging on the wall.

Minato Namikaze stepped forward, took the intelligence report, read it carefully twice, compared it with the contents of the report, and looked up at the field map hanging on the wall.

"Teacher, I also feel there's something wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Yes, it's very frustrating to know there's a problem but not know why." Jiraiya rubbed his temples. "How's the reinforcement of the fortifications going?"

"It's almost finished. I believe it will be completely completed before sunset today."

"Yes, I've already informed Orochimaru. The reinforcements he sent will arrive in three days. Make the necessary arrangements then."

"I understand, teacher."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then offered his own perspective, "Teacher, it's not a good idea for us to just keep passively waiting like this."

"What else can we do but wait..."

“Teacher, I think we should take the initiative.” Minato Namikaze expressed his thoughts. “The ninja forces of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning have a large number of personnel, and their resource consumption is naturally rising. If the other side doesn’t make any moves, we can just cause them some trouble.”

"You mean...attack their supply depots?"

"Yes, teacher. No matter what conspiracy or plan they are plotting, war supplies are an obstacle they cannot get around."

Jiraiya thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then go and make preparations. Let's launch a campaign this afternoon."

……

Somewhere in the Land of Sound.

The short-statured Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, carefully examined the agreement in his hand before signing his name with a flourish.

Correspondingly, the Third Raikage, who was sitting opposite him, also signed his name.

Sitting beside them were the daimyo of the Land of Sound and the kage of the Sound Village.

"Wish us happy cooperation."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The two exchanged the agreement documents, whispered a few words to each other, and the violent institutions of the two countries temporarily reached a cooperation agreement.

"How's the personnel arrangement going over there, Third Raikage?"

"Everything is ready, we're just waiting for you."

The Third Raikage glanced at Onoki indifferently, then looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Sound, "We will use the Land of Sound's territory as the location for our two nations to unite our armies. Do you have any other objections?"

"I...only have two requests."

The daimyo of the Land of Sound stammered a bit, after all, with two unparalleled villains sitting on either side of him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

However, as the daimyo of the Land of Sound, he still needs to fight for the interests that he and his country should strive for.

"First, although I agree that your two countries can use my country as a military base, you need to guarantee that you will not harm my civilians."

“No problem.” The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, nodded. “These are written in the agreement, and we will not go back on our word.”

Hearing Onoki's reply, the Daimyo of the Land of Sound secretly curled his lip. It was just a piece of paper; he wouldn't hesitate to tear it up if he wanted to.

Anyone who believes that is completely out of their mind!

But the Daimyo of the Land of Sound could only nod; what else could he do?

Are they hoping to catch up with the Land of Fire, which borders the Land of Sound?

The Land of Fire is now struggling to survive, and the life of the Daimyo of the Land of Sound is in the hands of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth. He has no other choice.

"Secondly..." The daimyo of the Land of Sound gritted his teeth, "After you defeat the Land of Fire, I don't ask for anything else, I only hope that the Land of Frost can share some of its territory with us."

“That’s not a problem either.” The Third Raikage nodded. “As long as you don’t intend to interfere with the Land of Fire, everything else is negotiable.”

"Thirdly, I hope to see your promised rental fees immediately!"

The daimyo of the Land of Sound was inwardly distressed, but he could only humbly make this request, otherwise, if the two countries suddenly changed their minds, he might not get any benefit at all.

The two conditions mentioned above are not really that important to the Daimyo of the Land of Sound, since they are things that can only be fulfilled in the future, and who can say for sure about the future?

Money is the only benefit that can be obtained immediately; if you don't take it now, you might not be able to get it later!

As for whether this counts as a loss of national sovereignty and dignity, who cares? When has a small country ever had any dignity?

"Once our main force has assembled, the promised land lease fee will be paid to you in full."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was lost in thought, resting his chin on his hands as he looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Sound. "If you're worried, I still have some money on me that can be used as a deposit."

As he spoke, Onoki pulled out a thick wad of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

"It's not much, but it's still 2 taels, which is a small token of my sincerity."

The daimyo of the Land of Sound looked extremely ugly. Onoki's actions were a blatant humiliation of him, but apart from grinding his teeth, he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Not enough?!"

Seeing that the daimyo of the Land of Sound was hesitant to take the item, Onoki raised his voice slightly and then glared at him.

"No...no..."

The daimyo of the Land of Sound, his forehead beaded with sweat, tremblingly extended his hands and accepted the 2 ryo banknotes from Onoki's hands.

Seeing this, Onoki smiled, then looked at the Third Raikage, "Raikage, where's your deposit?"

"I don't!"

The Third Raikage didn't show much expression on his face. He glanced at Onoki indifferently before turning his gaze to the Daimyo of the Land of Sound.

"I came in a hurry for this negotiation, but the money I promised you before will not be shortchanged by the Land of Thunder."

After saying that, the Third Raikage stood up. "I need to hurry back and prepare. Farewell, Onoki."

“Well, I also need to go back and make some preparations, but…” Onoki glanced at the daimyo of the Land of Sound, “to prevent the news from leaking out, you may have to endure some hardship.”

"I……"

The Daimyo of the Land of Sound frantically winked at the Sound Shadow beside him, trying to get him to step in and stop it.

However, the Daimyo of the Land of Sound's actions did not receive support from the Sound Shadow; instead, the other party turned away and pretended not to see it.

"Hahaha!" Onoki laughed loudly, then, after calming down, instructed the guard beside him, "Akatsuchi, the task of guarding the daimyo of the Land of Sound is entrusted to you."

"Please rest assured, Lord Tsuchikage, with me here, not a single word will leak out!"

……

The northwestern border of the Land of Fire, the headquarters of Danzo Shimura.

"Lord Danzo, as per your instructions, we have indeed discovered clues that the Land of Earth is planning to form an alliance with the Land of Lightning."

How accurate is the intelligence?

"Very high."

"Let's prepare early, a great battle is coming." Shimura Danzo waved his hand, signaling him to go and make preparations.

After the ninja left, Danzo Shimura turned around, glanced around, and then fixed his gaze on the White Zetsu that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Tell me the next piece of information."

"I've already given you one for free, but I haven't seen you do anything about it, so... let me see your sincerity?"

Bai Jue crossed his arms, looking somewhat fearless.

He wouldn't choose to attack White Zetsu until Shimura Danzo extracted all the information from him.

"I've already made the arrangements, and I believe you'll see the results you want soon," Shimura Danzo said calmly, then steered the conversation back to the issue of information on White Zetsu.

"Now, can you tell me what your second piece of information is?"

"Of course not!" Bai Jue said loudly. "I haven't verified whether what you said is true or false, so of course I can't tell you so unguarded."

"However, given my own character, I can give you a little hint." Shimura Danzo wished he could strangle Bai Zetsu right then and there, but he was also really reluctant to part with the information Bai Zetsu had to say.

Danzo Shimura knew that the White Zetsu, this unknown organization or force, had a terrifying intelligence-gathering ability, and that its timeliness and accuracy were also quite high.

"What is it?"

"Hehe, if you can successfully stop the conspiracy that is about to take place in Konoha Village according to the information I gave you, I believe your reputation will rise even higher, and becoming Hokage would not be out of the question."

Upon hearing White Zetsu mention the word "Hokage," Shimura Danzo narrowed his one eye. "Looks like you know quite a bit..."

"Of course! As long as I want to know exactly what happened in every corner of the ninja world on what day, there's no information I can't get!"

White Zetsu was quite pleased with himself, but he didn't forget Madara Uchiha's repeated instructions.

Moreover, White Zetsu was also afraid of Shimura Danzo, and suddenly, just like last time, he would launch a fatal attack on him out of the blue.

As its body gradually sank, only half of White Zetsu's head remained.

"Danzo, remember our deal. Once you have met my requirements, I will naturally hand over the information with both hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jue's figure vanished without a trace once again.

"A conspiracy threatening Konoha Village..."

After the White Zetsu disappeared, Danzo Shimura muttered to himself, and soon a sharp glint flashed in his single eye, "Someone is going to launch a sneak attack!"

Although he guessed the meaning behind White Zetsu's words, the light in Shimura Danzo's eyes dimmed afterward.

He only knew that someone was going to attack Konoha, but Shimura Danzo knew nothing about who was going to attack, how strong the attacking force was, when the attack would take place, or the specific infiltration route.

It was like knowing there was a piece of candy in front of you, but you just couldn't reach it, which made Danzo Shimura feel like he was being scratched by a cat.

"You damned bastard! Once I find out, I'll make sure you're not spared!"
