Chapter 43 - 43 Watchtower
Chapter 43 – 43 Watchtower
Kakashi ignored Raido's complaints, then stand on a big tree and looked at the tower in the distance.
It is Konoha's border defense base. There are dozens of shinobis stationed there to detect other country's movement. If there is an enemy invasion, they will send this information to Konoha as fast as they can to let Konoha's top management get ready for the invasion.
This work is boring and dull, so the member usually changes after one year.
Because the people are bored in here, the one year scheduling period is very suitable. This time Kakashi and the others came here not to change with them, but to bring things back information from here, and at the same time also sent some supplies to this tower.
It is precisely because of this that it needs four of them to come over. If it was just for information, they can just use eagle or other animal. It is not needed for people to come here.
"It seems that is our destination," Kakashi said.
The remaining three nodded after hearing Kakashi.
"Yes, but it is the first time I come here. This tower is said to have been established ten years ago."
Raido looked at the tower in the distance as he touched the mask on his face.
"Let's go finish the mission, then we can go back."
"Okay."
The four people then move toward the tower.
The tower is very tall, almost 50 meter high, and because of its height, it is easier to see the surrounding.
Not long after, Kakashi's group arrives at the tower entrance.
"Who's there?"
The guarding shinobi noticed at the moment Kakashi and the others appeared near them.
Although Kakashi's groups are wearing Anbu's clothes, they still need to wary. After all, enemy can also disguise as Anbu.
Raido didn't say anything and directly take the letter from Sandaime.
"Sandaime-sama has orders for you to bring the recent information to me and I will bring them back to Konoha. We also come here to bring your three months of supplies!"
Genma said that as he bring out some seals from his inventory and the seals were filled with food and various daily necessities for the dozens of people for the next three months.
The three shinobi's guard hearing this one nod, recently the food in the tower is starting to get low, if there is no supply coming here, they can only hunt in this surrounding area.
However, these three shinobi did not lose their wariness, but took over the Hokage's letter from the hands of Raido. After careful inspection, they finally confirmed that they are the real Anbu and finally relaxed.
"Sorry for the trouble, please enter the tower then."
One of the middle-aged shinobi returned the Hokage's letter to Raido. Then they guide Kakashi's group into the tower.
Kakashi, Genma, and Iwashi then looked at Raido. This time, Raido is Captain, so they need to follow Raido's order.
"Let's go then."
Raido also did not let them wait too long, and directly gave his order.
They need to get the information from inside the tower. After all, even if they are still at the Land of Fire, they are now near the border. It is dangerous to get the information when they are still outside.
So they did not hesitate and follow the three guarding shinobi into the tower.
The interior of the tower is large, and the Great Hall alone is enough to accommodate thousands of people. After all, this tower was used as a base camp during wartime, so of course the structure is good.
It was also the first time Kakashi comes here, and he is very curious about everything in front of him, but Kakashi's face is hidden under the mask, so the others can't see Kakashi's expression.
The reason why Anbu need to wear a mask is not only to keep their hide their identity, but it is to hide their expression. Shinobi should be always calm. But there are so many shinobi on this World, there will always be some of them who are impulsive. There are no impulsive shinobi in Anbu department, after all if they are impulsive, they not only bring danger to themself but also to their entire team, or even the entire Anbu department.
This is absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, people who are impulsive and brainless cannot enter Anbu.
The three guarding shinobi quickly lead Kakashi's group to the conference room, and there have been more than a dozen shinobi waiting there.
Kakashi took a closer look, and see the leader eyes are pure white, it was the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!
It seems that he is Hyuga clan's branch house member.
It is not surprising for Kakashi to see a Hyuga clan's member in this place. After all, Hyuga clan is one of the best scouts in Konoha.
It's impossible for Hyuga clan's main house member to be here. The reason is very simple. It is too dangerous here.
If the Land of Lighting launches an attack, this place will bear the brunt of it, and this place may be destroyed.
The Hyuga clan won't let main house member to take the risk.
"This is the Hyuga Tobio, he is the Captain here."
The middle-aged shinobi said as he pointing toward the Hyuga clan's member.
Raido then nod and said: "Hello Tobio-dono, we are in the Hokage-sama' Anbu. We're here to transport some supplies, at the same time we also need to bring the latest information back to Konoha, I hope Tobio-dono can help us about this."
Hyuga Tobio then looked at these four. It's strange, he did not expect Sandaime to send such a young team to bring back the information. The oldest one may not be more than seventeen years old. Is it really okay for such a team to bring back the information?
"This little brother, did Sandaime-sama only send you four here?"
"Yes." Although Raido did not understand why the Hyuga Tobio asked this question, he still replied very sincerely.
"Little brother, the information this time is very important. It's not that I don't believe in your Strength but I am really afraid there will be some trouble on the way back. So I will send two people to go back with you?"
Hyuga Tobio is not at ease if only this young team go, so he decided to send two Jonin to follow them back and to protect them.
And having two less Jonin here will not have much impact.
However, the good intentions of the Hyuga Tobio are obviously unacceptable, at least for Genma and Raido.
Both of them are still young, and at the same time they were also scouted by the Yondaime Hokage. Although they are young, they still have their own pride.
Although Hyuga Tobio did not say that he looks down on them, the arrangement he made was obviously because he didn't believe in their strenght. This makes both the same and the mysterious.
"Tobio-san! Please believe in our Strength, we will be able to send the Information back to Konoha safely!"
Raido said as people could hear some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"This…" Hyuga Tobio hesitated, he was really afraid that there could be accident happen.
"How about this, if you can beat that man, I will let you transport the information by yourself."
Raido and the others eyes then looked at the man pointed by the Hyuga Tobio. They see the man has burly figure, wearing a dark red clothes, and also wearing Konoha's green vest. But most importantly, there is a kanji that means "food"on his clothes.
He is an Akimichi clan's member.
