"Alright, you've all worked hard!"
Hearing the two of them, Chiba glanced at the wall of rain outside and spoke as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already evening. Because of the torrential rain, the sky had darkened, making it look like night.
The arrangements they had discussed concerned a series of food safety measures, as well as warehouse management.
There were also arrangements concerning camp security, such as setting up sentry posts after the rain stopped and taking advantage of the rainy weather to teach the students about safety awareness and standing guard.
Although Chiba had used the drill as an excuse, he had not intended for it to be merely an excuse. He genuinely intended to carry it out.
If the students could gain this practical experience now, it would certainly be of great benefit to their future development.
Given the current situation, if the students could gain some experience with standing guard and keeping watch, it would also help ease the current manpower shortage. After all, some locations did not require particularly great strength or sharp eyes to guard. Take the village entrance, for example—it was basically an open area in full view, and enemies could not possibly break through from there. Having students guard it would undoubtedly save a portion of their manpower and alleviate the current shortage.
Of course, that was only Chiba's idea. Letting children who were still students and had not yet become ninja directly begin taking on missions was already an exception under the expansion plan. The village probably would not make that exception again.
Still, training them in advance like this could only bring benefits and no harm. Chiba's idea might not be put into practice now, but if an emergency arose, these students would at least
