Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat!

So, forget it.

Uchiha Jin shook his head slightly and spoke.

"There's no need for that!"

"Our mission is to transport supplies."

"There's no need to create extra trouble."

Nara Kazama nodded.

All of a sudden, he felt that having Uchiha Jin as a teammate was actually quite pleasant.

Especially his way of thinking—it really suited the Nara Clan.

Wait, no!

Wasn't this guy an Uchiha?

But his way of doing things wasn't Uchiha-like at all, was it?

Still, whatever.

What did it have to do with him? As a Nara, what he hated most was trouble.

As long as it didn't affect him, that was enough.

At that thought, he yawned, then looked down at Ishikawa Itsuki, who had already fallen unconscious at his feet.

Then he got a bit of a headache.

This guy really was hard to kill. Why wasn't he dead yet?

Obviously.

Nara Kazama had no favorable impression of this reckless fool.

But after sighing, he could only speak helplessly.

"Mm, that's good."

"Ishikawa Itsuki is still alive. We should treat him a little."

Uchiha Jin frowned.

But he still nodded. Though this guy was extremely annoying, they couldn't exactly kill him, could they?

Having reached an agreement, the two carried Ishikawa Itsuki onto the carriage.

After roughly applying some herbs and feeding him a Ration pill, they could not be bothered to care whether he lived or died.

That was right.

There was no Medical Ninjutsu user in the squad anyway, and neither of them cared much whether he lived or died.

They had done their best. They could not be bothered to interfere any further.

As for what came next, that depended on his luck.

The war Frontline Camp had Leaf Village medical ninja. If he could hold on until then, he would live.

If he could not hold on, then he could just die.

The two got down from the carriage, and Nara Kazama's eyes shifted.

"Jin, what should we say later?" Nara Kazama asked quietly.

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.

His expression was unreadable as he tested him. "Just tell the truth. What else can we do?"

Nara Kazama looked helpless.

He felt that this Uchiha Jin was playing dumb with him.

With the way he had acted just now, how could he possibly not have thought of something this simple?

But there was no helping it!

Since he had brought it up himself, he could only speak, no matter how helpless he felt.

"Once our strength is exposed, the missions we receive in the future will become troublesome."

"I think the two of us are the same kind of people. We both hate trouble."

"So, can we be honest with each other?"

Since he had already put it that plainly, Uchiha Jin could no longer play dumb.

He hated trouble too.

As for merit from the village, he naturally had no interest in that either.

His eyes shifted as he spoke quietly. "What are you thinking?"

Nara Kazama was not stupid!

Of course, he could see Uchiha Jin testing him, but considering that Kudo Shin could wake up at any moment, he naturally did not want to waste time.

Without hesitation, he immediately spoke.

"The captain is still recovering his Chakra, so he can't sense what's happening outside."

"Ishikawa Itsuki is unconscious now, and all the civilians died just now."

"There are three carriages of supplies. We each take one. If Jin-kun doesn't have a Storage Scroll, I'll give you one."

"As for the dead Mist Ninja, we'll seal them in the scrolls for now and deal with them later when we have time."

"Once the captain wakes up, we'll say that we weren't strong enough and could only barely protect one carriage of supplies. The other two were taken by Mist Village."

"Ishikawa Itsuki was blindly arrogant. He refused to listen to our advice and insisted on fighting Mist Village to the death."

"Unfortunately, he wasn't skilled enough, so he was injured by Mist Village."

"The two of us risked our lives to save him."

Dividing the Spoils, Shifting the Blame, Nara Shu's Methods

Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.

After hearing Nara Kazama's plan, he instantly had countless complaints he wanted to voice.

Good lord!

You had learned the ways of arms dealers down to the finest detail!

Not only could you hide your strength, but you could also make a small fortune.

The Nara Clan really was devious!

But I like it!

At that thought, he immediately spoke.

"No problem. I agree."

"Let's get moving quickly. Delays breed complications!"

Immediately afterward.

Knowing time was short, the two began acting separately at once.

With the scroll Nara Kazama had provided, Uchiha Jin went to collect the Mist Ninja corpses they had killed, while Nara Kazama went to embezzle the supplies from the two carriages.

About three minutes later.

After meeting up again, Nara Kazama smiled and spoke quietly.

"I took a quick look."

"One carriage contains medicinal herbs, and one contains Explosive tags."

"I made a rough estimate. Together, they're worth around 30 Million Ryo."

"The carriage I didn't take has Kunai in it. They're basically worthless, so we'll leave that one to turn in."

"And don't worry."

"When I checked them, I didn't touch the seals on the carriages. I used a secret technique of the Nara Clan."

"I guarantee no one will notice anything wrong!"

Hiss!

Hearing Nara Kazama say that, Uchiha Jin became a little excited too.

Good lord.

They truly were war supplies. Even the supplies assigned to their squad alone were worth such an enormous sum.

No wonder USA had loved stirring up conflict everywhere in his previous life. War profits really could make you rich in one stroke.
