As the supply convoy drew closer, Nawaki whispered, "Xin, how did you know those two ninja would scout around the side?"
Xin, lying on the ground, didn't even turn his head as he replied with a question of his own.
"If I sent you to scout ahead, would you start right in front of the convoy?"
"Uh..."
Nawaki hesitated for a moment, then begrudgingly admitted, "No."
"If even you wouldn't do it, what makes you think they would?"
"Remember, this is a common mistake many ninja make. If I were the captain in charge of protecting these supplies, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting my subordinates handle scouting."
Whether it was their strength or their scouting ability, unless they were exceptions, most genin and chunin couldn't compare to jonin.
These skills were part of what you needed to pass the jonin exams. If you weren't up to par, you wouldn't be promoted.
Of course, this was the standard in the five great ninja villages, but the Rain Village's standards...
Well, they couldn't exactly compare.
If they did, the Rain Village wouldn't have many jonin or chunin to begin with.
Their more lenient standards made the Rain Village's military look stronger than it really was.
But when war broke out, it became clear that, aside from Hanzo and a few of his top lieutenants, there weren't many Rain ninja who could truly hold their own.
Hanzo was the backbone of the Rain Village's resistance against Konoha, the Sand, and the Rock Villages. Without him, the Rain Village would crumble in an instant-such was the disparity in power.
As the Rain Village's supply convoy drew nearer, Xin signaled to Nawaki.
Nawaki nodded, raising his hands to form a series of hand seals.
As the supply convoy approached...
"Earth Style: Earth Spear Technique!"
Xin had found that many Earth Style Jutsu were extremely useful-Earth Spear was great for both killing enemies and causing chaos.
"Enemy attack!"
"Ahh!!"
"Help me!!"
The ground shook as a forest of sharp rock spears shot up from below, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The entire convoy was thrown into disarray.
Grain spilled everywhere, and hidden among it, several scrolls containing sealed items rolled out.
Several slower-reacting Rain ninja were skewered like bloody kebabs.
But these weren't the kind of kebabs anyone would want to eat.
Seeing the supplies scattered all over the place, Yoshida Shoichi felt like his heart was being ripped apart.
These were the supplies Lord Hanzo had struggled to procure, and now they were strewn across the ground.
Terrified horses reared and bolted, dragging carts in every direction. The scene was complete chaos.
"Didn't anyone tell you? This is the Land of Fire's territory. You're at war with Konoha, and you're buying food from the Land of Fire? Looks like the Rain Village has money to burn. Isn't Hanzo worried he's throwing it away?"
As if Hanzo really had a choice...
The Rain Country was surrounded by the Lands of Fire, Wind, and Earth. It was at war with all three.
