"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."
Yuhi Shinku bowed and accepted the order. His face, which usually wore a calm expression, now also carried the gravity of wartime.
He knew what this supply line meant to the Konoha ninja on the entire Land of Rain battlefield.
Jiraiya nodded, then picked up several scrolls sealed with mission information from the table behind him.
He looked around at the squad captains in the tent and began to assign missions in a loud voice.
"First Squad, responsible for patrolling the north, focus on monitoring Iwagakure's movements."
"Second Squad, go to the west of the camp and root out all those Sunagakure spies hiding in the forest!"
"....."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
One captain after another took the heavy mission scroll from Jiraiya's hand. Without a word of nonsense, they just bowed deeply and turned to walk out of the tent resolutely.
The entire process was filled with the solemnity and efficiency unique to ninja.
The four members of Team Yagen just stood quietly in the corner, watching this tense and orderly scene, feeling their breathing slow down.
Is this... war?
Is this the real frontline command post that decides the lives and deaths of countless people?
Shimura Sota's heart, always full of hot blood, was also infected by this solemn atmosphere. He subconsciously clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately rush to the battlefield like those seniors and contribute his strength to the village.
Soon, the captains in the tent all received their missions and left, leaving only Jiraiya, and Tsunade and Orochimaru who were whispering in the distance.
A sudden change occurred again.
Yagen suddenly felt his right hand sink out of thin air.
He subconsciously looked down and raised his eyebrows.
A scroll.
A mission scroll sealed with wax, exactly the same as the ones in the hands of those captains just now, appeared silently in his hand.
"This... this is?!" Yagen was stunned.
Sota, Hasumi, and Shiorin also saw the scroll in his hand, and their eyes widened.
Just then, the steady voice of the Third Hokage, which they were extremely familiar with, sounded again in the minds of the four of them.
"D-rank simulation mission generated: Scout the eastern defense line of Amegakure."
"For mission details, please consult the scroll."
It was Lord Hokage's voice!
Uchiha Yagen suddenly became a little excited.
Whether it was the Konoha in reality that was developing rapidly and becoming prosperous and united.
Or this Konoha before his eyes, full of war and smoke, but equally united.
Behind them stood the same man.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who single-handedly leveraged the entire era.
The reverence for this leader had climbed to an unprecedented peak in Yagen's heart.
Yagen no longer had any confusion or apprehension.
From this moment on, he was a true Konoha ninja.
A squad captain on whom Lord Hokage placed high hopes.
He gripped the scroll in his hand tightly, as if he had seized the future in an instant.
"Go to the supply depot and collect your equipment."
"Then, set off."
Lord Hokage's voice carried a gentle smile.
"Captain?"
Shimura Sota's voice pulled him back from his trance.
Yagen came back to his senses and glanced at his three teammates.
In Sota's eyes was undisguised excitement and eagerness to try.
Hasumi and Shiorin also looked at him curiously.
They were comrades.
They were the backs that Lord Hokage said could be unconditionally trusted on the battlefield.
Yagen nodded to his three companions.
"Let's go!"
The four turned around, no longer hesitating or wandering, and walked out of this command tent that symbolized the core of the war.
Outside the tent, the cold rain was still drifting.
But in their hearts, it seemed as if a fire was raging.
Team Yagen walked out of the main command tent, and the continuous drizzle outside seemed less cold.
The clamor in the camp remained, but at this moment, those noisy sounds seemed to turn into war drums in their ears.
"Awesome! We have a mission! And it was personally issued by Lord Hokage!"
Shimura Sota was so excited his cheeks were slightly flushed. He waved his fist and whispered to Yagen, "Captain, where do we go now?"
His hot-blooded enthusiasm made Tachibana Shiorin beside him roll her eyes.
"Idiot Sota, didn't you hear Lord Hokage's prompt?"
Sarutobi Hasumi pointed to a fairly large tent in the corner of the camp. On the tent flap, two large characters were written in rough handwriting—"Supplies."
"System prompt, go collect equipment first."
Hasumi's tone was calm, but his eyes also shone with curiosity.
He had already started using the term "system prompt" to refer to Lord Hokage's guidance.
"Oh, oh, right, right, right, collect equipment!"
Sota slapped his head and giggled foolishly.
The four no longer hesitated, walked quickly through the muddy camp, and arrived at the supply depot.
Inside the tent, the light was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and leather.
A chunin who looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with a long scar on his face, was sitting behind a table, expressionlessly registering something in a thick book.
