Chapter 155 - 50: Preparing for Battle
The efficiency of the Sunagakure ninja was as high as ever. Though they promised five days, it only took them three to deliver detailed map information of Black Wind Fortress. Not only that, but they also thoughtfully provided a ninja to serve as the team's guide.
"Hmm? The journey is actually so far?"
Chikugo Hyōe, the commander of the bandit elimination operation, frowned as he looked at the map.
"Yes, based on the distance, it will take at least a month."
Hidan said casually.
At this time, Hidan had been exceptionally promoted to Jonin by the Third Kazekage Jinghang, making him the youngest Jonin in Sunagakure. Although the promotion was exceptional, it was also after rigorous assessment by Sunagakure's education department, officially earning the title of Jonin. After years of honing, Hidan lost the arrogance and noisiness depicted in the original manga, becoming competent and efficient, with the demeanor of a general.
However, Chikugo Hyōe didn't regard him highly, thinking of him as just a young guide.
"How did you find this place?"
Chikugo Hyōe asked.
"It's simple. Although the sand bandits stole money, it's just paper that can't be eaten or drunk. They have to exchange it for grains, oil, wine, meat, tea, and cloth. We tracked them through grain merchants in the Moon Lake New District and surrounding countries, quickly locating these bandits."
"Settled in three days? Impossible!"
