As soon as the four of them arrived at the logistics base, they were immediately assigned to deliver a batch of supplies to the front line.
Takei Katsuhiko quickly counted several large boxes and then sealed them into two large scrolls.
Takei Katsuhiko instructed, "I've marked the location of the base you're delivering to on your map. Make sure to deliver it before tomorrow morning. If the supplies can't be protected in an attack, destroy them immediately so they don't fall into enemy hands!"
Kakashi nodded and said, "I understand. Then we'll set off."
Kakashi proactively carried one large scroll, and then Obito carried the other.
With the boys present, and Rin Nohara being a Medical Ninja, if they could do it, they naturally would.
As for Yasuke, asking him to carry it would surely lead to a lot of complaints.
Kakashi looked at Obito, Rin Nohara, and Yasuke behind him: "Let's go."
The four of them immediately set off under the cover of night.
During their journey, Kakashi instructed, "Don't let your guard down. You just heard Captain Takei say that there's a high chance of encountering an ambush from Sunagakure or Iwagakure. Stay alert! Yasuke, use your Third Eye to constantly observe the surroundings from a high vantage point."
At a time like this, Yasuke certainly wouldn't be joking around, as it concerned his own safety.
Yasuke used Sand Iron to condense into an eye that ascended into the sky. He pressed his left hand against his left eye, transmitting the visual image to the eye he was holding with his hand, observing the surrounding situation.
It wasn't until noon the next day that nothing happened; their journey was very smooth.
After reaching a river, Kakashi stopped: "Let's rest for a bit. Yasuke must be tired from using his Ninjutsu since last night."
"Not 'must be tired,' I'm super tired, okay!"
Yasuke deactivated his Third Eye and immediately sat on the ground.
Actually, saying'super tired' wasn't that exaggerated, because the Chakra required to maintain the Third Eye wasn't much.
However, he was indeed tired, because continuously using the Third Eye, even with small consumption, added up to a lot over a long period.
Kakashi took out the map and glanced at it: "At this pace, we should be able to reach the front-line base tonight."
Upon hearing that they wouldn't arrive until evening, Yasuke's face instantly fell: "Huh? It's only noon now, still half a day?"
Kakashi put away the map and said, "We're already moving very fast. We should reach the front-line base around 8 or 9 PM. Generally, enemies won't attack during the day, and the closer we get to the front-line base, the less likely enemies are to intercept supplies. So, from now on, Yasuke, you can use your Third Eye intermittently to observe the surroundings.
However, we still can't let our guard down. Maintain vigilance as we proceed. After a ten-minute break, we'll continue. The sooner we deliver the supplies to the front line, the sooner we can rest easy."
Yasuke sighed.
It was truly tiring, mainly mentally, constantly worrying about enemy attacks, so he remained tense.
The thought of spending the rest of his days like this filled Yasuke with a sense of despair.
He missed the bed at the Konoha Garrison where he had only slept for one night.
Ten minutes seemed to pass in a blink of an eye, and before Yasuke could fully rest, they had to resume their journey.
Yasuke sighed and followed Kakashi and the other two, continuing on their way.
However, they were fortunate. This supply delivery was very smooth, and they arrived at the front-line base around 8 PM.
Upon arriving at the front-line base's camp, Yasuke was stunned by the scene.
The camp was full of wounded, and not far ahead, a battle was raging. The Firelight there was soaring into the sky, indicating intense fighting.
Many Ninja were also preparing to leave the camp and head to the battlefield.
Seeing the wounded in the camp, more numerous and gruesome than those in the Konoha Garrison in the Land of Grass, made Yasuke's heart tremble.
If the camp was like this, then the battlefield ahead must be even more tragic.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara's expressions were also solemn.
Kakashi had already found the Ninja in the camp responsible for receiving and distributing supplies. After handing over the two scrolls filled with supplies, Yasuke's mission was complete.
After completing the mission, Yasuke and his team needed to return to the logistics base immediately, as there might be more supplies waiting for them to deliver.
The return journey was even smoother. Let alone an attack, nothing unexpected happened.
Takei Katsuhiko saw Kakashi and his team return and asked, "How was it? Was everything smooth?"
Kakashi replied, "It was very smooth. We didn't encounter any incidents. We successfully delivered the supplies to our comrades at the front-line base."
Takei Katsuhiko worried, "The front-line base must be fighting very intensely, right?"
Kakashi nodded: "The fighting is very intense."
Takei Katsuhiko sighed: "That front-line base where you delivered supplies has a gully, which is a natural barrier. So, we absolutely cannot let Sunagakure and Iwagakure break through. If they do, then there will be no advantageous terrain to hinder Sunagakure and Iwagakure in this area. All right, you've worked hard. Take a short rest. Let other comrades deliver the next batch of supplies."
Although he said 'rest,' the base was piled high with supplies, so there couldn't be beds or other living items. Resting simply meant lying on the ground or leaning against supply boxes for a while.
Yasuke couldn't possibly set up a bed here; if he did, it would be too disrespectful.
Yasuke found a corner and sat on a supply box leaning against the side, his mind filled with the wounded from the front-line base's camp.
Because it was so shocking, Yasuke couldn't forget it for a long time.
War, it's really annoying, not interesting at all.
Over the next week, Yasuke and his team delivered three more batches of supplies, including equipment and Medical supplies.
However, nothing happened during these three trips; they successfully delivered the supplies smoothly.
After returning from this supply delivery, Takei Katsuhiko informed the four of them of the newly received news.
In short, Hidden Sand Village and Iwagakure had fallen out, and Sunagakure had left the Land of Grass.
This should have been good news, but it was bad news.
Because without Hidden Sand Village's Ninja, Iwagakure's Ninja had no worries and began a full-scale assault on Konoha Ninja in the Land of Grass, making the war situation even more severe than when Sunagakure was present.
Meanwhile, Sunagakure, which had withdrawn from the Land of Grass, went to the Land of Rivers, where they were skirmishing with Konoha Ninja, looking for opportunities to plunder Konoha's resources.
To alleviate Konoha's pressure, Hiruzen Sarutobi imitated Hidden Sand Village, spreading rumors that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Hidden Cloud Village had lost control and gone berserk, possibly related to Iwagakure.
Perhaps as retaliation, Kumogakure's Ninja now frequently ambush Iwagakure from the rear.
This successfully relieved a lot of pressure on Konoha.
As for Hidden Mist Village's Ninja, a portion of them had already entered Land of Waves, with unknown intentions.
After resting for a day, Yasuke, Kakashi, and the other two had another mission today.
To deliver a batch of supplies to another front-line base.
