Late at night, Kusagakure still didn't stop busy. Yao Le, who was still young, was trembling slightly and couldn't help but whisper to his companion beside him.
"Tell me, why did Lord Kusakage even summon us? Has the war with Land of Earth fallen into defeat?"
"Silence, if the adults in the village hear it, they will die. The other party is a ninja Five Great Shinobi Countries. If they start a war with a small country like ours, they won't even use 10% of their strength. They will just use us to sharpen Genin..."
"Even if you have to die, you must die with the dignity of a ninja."
Among the few people, the more mature child lowered his voice, as if he had read through Land of Earth's thoughts, but he was still unable to resist.
The same thing is still happening. Many children who are not even teenagers are given a kunai by the ninja of Kusagakure. After wearing the Forehead Protector of Kusagakure, they become ninjas of Kusagakure.
A group of Kusagakure Chunin jonins stood around the square with serious expressions, always on guard against possible defections at any time, and would punish them on the spot once discovered!
Crowds of people gathered together until all the thousands of 'ninjas' had arrived. Kusage Kojiro, the current village chief of Kusagakure, who called himself Kusakage, stood in front of everyone to boost morale.
"My compatriots, for the sake of the independence of the Country of Grass, for the buds and future of the Country of Grass, and for the will of the Grass, raise your weapons and drive the despicable and shameless thieves out of the Country of Grass!"
Furious, with veins popping out, Kusage Kojiro's voice was hoarse, and he shouted to everyone with all his strength.
All the Grass Ninjas shouted in unison, with great momentum and anger reaching the sky.
Seeing this scene, Kusage Kojiro felt secretly proud and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
'The set I stole from Konoha is indeed useful. Although I, Kusagakure, have nothing, I just need to steal it from someone who has it and change it to my own...'
If you don't have ninjutsu, you'll capture enemy ninjas, torture and steal them; if you don't have knowledge, you'll borrow them from other countries; if you don't have culture, you'll copy others and adapt them to your own.
This is how Land of Grass survives. This is how a small country survives. Do you think Amegakure is also a small country?
It's so funny, Land of Grass, the whole nation's ninjas combined, can't kill as many people as Salamander Hanzo with one poisonous gas. Can it compare with Amegakure!
After boosting morale and watching many ninjas leave Kusagakure, Kusage Kojiro returned to his own office, with the smile on his face replaced by sadness and helplessness.
"Are you sure that that strange ninja defeated you all without even forming a seal or even moving his hands and feet?"
Seeing Kusakage (self-proclaimed, Five Great Shinobi Countries refused to admit it) asking again, everyone nodded. They were different from the rookie ninjas mobilized before. They were all veterans who had experienced the battlefield.
"That's right, Master Kusakage, that guy really doesn't have Hand Seals. I don't know what kind of weird ninjutsu it is, but it feels even more terrifying than the jounin of Land of Earth."
"With that kind of terrifying murderous intent, that guy has killed at least thousands of people. He is definitely a terrifying existence among ninjas. He is probably a defected ninja from Five Great Shinobi Countries, or he is a dangerous wanted criminal!"
Several people talked and praised the ninja in black so much that he seemed to have grown three heads and six arms, and almost said that he ate a pair of boys and girls a day.
In response, Kusage Kojiro smiled stiffly, waved for everyone to leave, and took out a passbook from under his desk.
'Fortunately, I sent my wife and children to Land of Fire in advance. If something goes wrong, I will run away immediately. I have almost made enough money from Kusagakure over the years. It is not bad to go to Land of Fire in advance to enjoy life.'
With a bright smile on his face, Kusage Kojiro couldn't help but think about his future life. He had no intention of sacrificing himself for the village and country as Kusakage.
Land of Grass and Land of Rain also live in the cracks. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the three small countries of Grass, Rain and Bird have no future at all and are only used to ease the conflicts between big countries.
Compared to struggling in such a small country with no future, of course it is better to take the opportunity to make a fortune and then run away with the bucket before Kusagakure is destroyed, and earn more.
Different from the red bucket brought by Tumu, the head of the village carried a gold bucket full of gold coins, and there was more than one.
On the other hand, the Grass Ninja newcomers who were driven into the battlefield were nervous, fearing that they would accidentally step on Explosive Tag and go to Pure Land to become a Buddha.
There are various battlefields around Grass Ninja, but the biggest battlefield is still Northern Fortress.
Northern Fortress faces Land of Earth. Land of Grass has always been a terrifying meat grinder that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to face the enemy head-on.
"Damn it, what are you afraid of? Why did we draw Northern Fortress? Our little life can survive three days..."
"Three days? I just hope that my death will be less painful, and that I will not be seriously burned by Fire Style. If I die half-dead in Medical Team, I will be worthy of kowtowing to the Bodhisattva yesterday."
The eyes of a group of children who were no more than ten years old were full of pessimism. They didn't even have a chance to go to school in a serious Ninja Academy, so they were driven to the battlefield to die by the Chunin Jonin in the village.
"I heard that Five Great Shinobi Countries has its own Ninja Academy. I don't know what can be taught in the Ninja Academy. Will the teachers be as fierce as the ninjas in the village?"
Yao Le's eyes reveal yearning, going to school quietly, those days are simply a dream time, it's good to have enough to eat.
"Ninja Academy? That place only teaches basic ninjutsu, such as Escape Technique, Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, etc. Serious ninjutsu can only be learned at home. The premise is that you must be from a famous family or a secret arts family..."
Several Genin had already finished eating. They couldn't help but look around, and then they realized that someone had set up a fire nearby, and several figures were warming themselves by the fire.
In addition, the fragrant sweet potatoes and grilled fish on the branches next to the fire were extremely attractive, attracting several children to swallow their saliva.
From mobilization in the middle of the night to heading to the battlefield, they didn't even have a bite of food. Now that they were attracted by the scent, they relied on random thoughts and selective forgetfulness, and they suddenly became hungry.
"How about we come and have something to eat together?"
The long-haired guy who was facing a few people smiled and invited, his friendly smile and affinity made the little girl who was looking at the people sideways and only engrossed in eating fish couldn't help but put her head down, her dirty little face turned red by Hikari.
"Really!"
"We met a good man, brother!"
Several people couldn't help but run to the fire and fill their bellies with smiles. The oldest child silently glanced at the ninja bag on the long-haired man's waist and shouted sharply.
"You guys should hurry up and get away from that guy. He is a ninja from another country. There is no such person in Kusagakure!"
After the words fell, Kusagakure emerged from the darkness one after another, holding kunai weapons and looking coldly in their eyes.
"You are the despicable and shameless thief who threatened to take away Land of Grass!"
