Konoha: Kaguya's Notepad

"Is there nothing we can do?"

"The way? Yes, you can accumulate merit and redeem it for ninjutsu."

At this time, the person who complained just now spoke, and it was only then that Kaguya noticed that the other person's right hand was empty.

"I am an example. I risked my life to perform meritorious service on the battlefield and then received rewards. But what is the result? The consequence of being a civilian ninja is to get a position that is not suitable for you, and then lead your team into the enemy's trap.

Although we are originally exploring the road, can you understand the pain of having an arm chopped off by the enemy as soon as the war begins?"

Murata Maki said with a frustrated face: "I was one of the first people to go to the battlefield in the early days of the war. To be honest, at the beginning I thought I could show off my skills and then return to Konoha gloriously. But the reality is that I was there on the first day.

My team was wiped out, but I escaped because I was knocked unconscious by the explosion."

"Later, I participated in the counterattack on Barrel Mountain. In that battle, I killed a crippled Jonin. He was already covered in wounds from the explosion of kunai. I couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to give him a happy blow.

Then I was judged to have made a meritorious service and was given the opportunity to exchange for precious ninjutsu, and my status was upgraded from genin to chunin."

"But... this is wrong. My combat ability can't be compared with that of the Sand Ninjas, and I don't have enough experience. So in the next battle, I led my team and fell into the enemy's trap. My

My right hand was cut off by a trap, and my teammates died there one by one trying to save me. In the end, I was the only one who was lucky enough to run back to the formation alive."

"The promotion mechanism in the village is not normal at all. It is obviously the second large-scale battle, but we are still in a state of sharpening our swords before the battle. The highest missions performed by genin on weekdays are only C-level. The battles and battles against ordinary people are

Fighting between ninjas as legions is a completely different concept. In addition, due to our origins, we are unable to receive better training, so we are often confused when we go to the battlefield."

"The fighting between ninjas is cruel and fast, and there is no such thing as even strength. On the battlefield, the strong attack the weak, killing the most enemies at the minimum cost. Although the Suna ninjas are few in number, most ninjas have been fighting for a long time.

When it comes to assassination missions, their combat experience far exceeds ours."

"But we still won in the end, didn't we?"

Kaguya made a confused sound. After all, judging from the frontline battle report, thanks to the efforts of Tsunade and White Fang, the Sand Ninja Front was retreating steadily. Now it has retreated to the national border, completely changing from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive posture.

"That was just to appease the emotions within the village, and it also ignored the contribution of ordinary ninjas like us. You must know that in the early and middle stages of the war, we civilians who accounted for 80% of the village were risking our lives and blocked the way with our own bodies.

In the enemy's attacks, blocking battles, ambushes, surprise battles, and offensive battles, we are the first to charge, and then the first to die!"

"Our group has the most deaths, but every time the village doesn't mention it at all, they only publicize those guys from the family. Tsunade-sama can extract the antitoxin from the corpses of us,

Didn’t the village tell you? The first test subjects in human experiments were also us."

"That's enough, you talk too much Murata."

Murata Maki's face was full of sad emotions, and it was obvious that he was actually dissatisfied in his heart.

"Obviously they are all ninjas from the same village, but they are treated completely differently."

"If the village could open up more resources... maybe there wouldn't be so many deaths."

"Enough, the village also has its own difficulties. Every ninjutsu is the hard work of the predecessors. If it can be spread simply, it will be stolen by other ninja villages soon. Moreover, resources are limited.

Compared with ordinary people like us, the ninja bloodline of the family has more powerful advantages. They grow faster and have a higher chance of becoming stronger than us."

"Stop complaining, recognize the reality and accept it."

So, is this the real plight of civilians?

No wonder it caused such a huge reaction in the arena that day.

"Then, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Uchiha clan to establish a training school for you?"

Kaguya asked a question that she didn't understand. If civilian ninjas face so many difficulties, then you can imagine how terrifying the cascading effects of the training school launched by Uchiha will be. This is not like throwing a stone into the pool at all.

So simple, but just smash the mountain down and bury the entire lake!

Logically speaking, these people should be ecstatic.

"...Brother, things are not as simple as you think."

Oki expressed his worries with a bitter look on his face: "In fact, everyone was very happy at first, but soon rumors spread. It was said that Uchiha was forced to establish a training school to fight against the higher-ups. They were not doing it for us at all.

It’s to gain a trump card against the higher-ups. If we dare to join, we will be on the opposite side of Konoha’s higher-ups.”

"What?!??"

Kaguya was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was Danzo's method.

Good guy, you move fast enough.

"We are already having a hard time in the village. If Uchiha really wants to use us as pawns against the higher-ups. Then if the higher-ups really think that we want to follow Uchiha in rebellion - how many people will be implicated?"

"And judging from the Uchiha's attitude in the past... it's hard for everyone to believe that they really have no selfish intentions."

Murata Maki said directly: "It is impossible for me to say that I am not selfish. But if Uchiha can really keep his word, then I will support him. Anyway, it is still a cannon fodder for senior officials, and it is also a cannon fodder for Uchiha, then we

Why not choose the side that can give you more benefits? It’s all for Konoha in the end anyway.”

"Murata, your statement is too direct. Be careful of being taken away by ANBU people."

"ANBU? They look like ANBU there. They are all full of murderous intent, and the smell of blood hasn't even dried up yet."

At this time, the conversation between Murata Maki and Ohgi caught Kaguya's attention.

"What happened when you were taken away by ANBU? Was it an order from the Sandaime-sama?"

"Shh~!"

Ohmu covered Kaguya's mouth with a nervous look on his face and looked around cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense, Sandaime-sama has never given this order."

"However, it is true that since yesterday there have been more ANBU roaming around in the village. These people sometimes take away people who support Uchiha's speech for no apparent reason, and then put them back soon."

"Put it back?"

"Yes, but the people who came back basically seemed stupid, and they were so scared that people nearby didn't dare to speak."

"Some people wanted to go to the Hokage Building to report this matter, but no one took care of it. Then the people who reported it were quickly found and taken away. They ended up with the same fate as those who openly supported Uchiha."

After saying that, Da Mu looked around nervously.

"The atmosphere in the village has been very strange recently. You have to be more careful as an orphan."

Kaguya thanked her sincerely.

At this time, he realized that only Danzo dared to do such drastic measures. It seemed that he and Yueyong still underestimated Danzo.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Kaguya planned to find Yue Yong.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he entered a sparsely populated trail, he was suddenly intercepted by the roots.

To be precise, the long-awaited root finally got the opportunity to assassinate Kaguya.

It turns out that Danzo has been ordering his subordinates to keep a close eye on Kaguya's movements these days, and to kill Kaguya first if he finds an opportunity. If Uchiha Tsukiyomi dares to lead people to avenge Kaguya, it will be a rebellion. Not only will the people's hearts and minds be completely lost immediately, but they will also be collectively

Crusade. But if there is no revenge - Danzo will be more confident, and he will use all means to hinder Uchiha's actions.

Don't underestimate Danzo, after all, he is the root of Konoha and the man who is best at operating in the dark.
