After a moment's thought, Xin decided not to push it.
Since his task was to protect the supplies and his teammates, he would focus on fulfilling his role as their guardian. As for Minato and Nawaki... they could continue pushing the carts.
The weak don't get special treatment.
"So, we're stuck pushing carts while he gets to rest?"
Minato and Nawaki were dumbfounded.
"You two, why are you slacking off? Xin-sama is conserving his strength to protect us and the supplies. Do you think you're on the same level as Xin-sama?" Suimoku scolded.
"Exactly, stop trying to slack off and get back to pushing. If everyone works together, it'll be easier. Don't think about taking it easy, or I'll report you to Danzo-sama after the mission is over," Yama added.
"..."
At that moment, Minato and Nawaki felt as if they'd been stabbed in the heart, the pain seeping through and through.
Seeing their plight, Xin couldn't help but laugh.
The sight was just too amusing.
Transporting supplies was indeed a laborious task. Ninja might be able to run on water, but trudging through muddy terrain while pushing carts was an entirely different story.
The muddy ground and heavy carts made for a challenging combination.
As a result, everyone except Xin looked exhausted and disheveled.
Not only was it tiring, but the ninja couldn't simply use chakra to walk on the ground. The carts, after all, couldn't do the same.
They had to exert effort where it was needed, with no shortcuts available.
"Push the carts to that clearing up ahead, and we'll rest there. We'll set off again in the morning."
Traveling through the night was not a good idea.
The mission required them to deliver the supplies within three days, so there was no need to rush and risk overexertion.
"Is that... really okay?" Suimoku hesitated as Xin announced the rest stop. He watched as Minato and Nawaki sat down to rest after checking that the tarps covering the supplies were secure. The sight left the three Chunin captains wide-eyed.
This wasn't their first time transporting supplies, and every previous mission had involved pushing themselves to the limit, fearing delays or enemy attacks.
Yet Xin's team was ready to rest as soon as night fell, with no intention of pushing on through the night.
"Just do as he says; it'll be fine," Nawaki said, unable to bear the sight. "Since Xin is the captain, you should follow his orders. And you, Shimura guy, take your team and go hunt something. Otherwise, we'll be stuck eating dry rations tonight."
Suimoku's expression soured.
Shimura guy? How would you like it if I called you Senju guy?
And you want me to go hunting?
During a mission, you want to eat grilled meat?
