Chương 61: Sora’s Depression
The newly established grain storage facility provided by Land of Rain was a significant concession. Despite their initial desire to use one of Land of Rain's cities, the Hidden Rain's firm stance on neutrality led them to offer only a site for food storage. This move was intended to prevent direct involvement in the ongoing conflict.
The Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and other major combat factions were outraged by Land of Rain's refusal to offer more direct support. They proposed looting Hidden Rain's supplies, but Ai, the Raikage, dismissed their suggestions. He was concerned that such actions would provoke Konohagakure and risk their own strategic position.
With the offensive against Konoha being unsuccessful and the conflict dragging on, Ai opted to transport grain from the Land of Lightning over thousands of miles. Land of Rain's offer of a grain storage area was a compromise that reduced manpower needs. Ai was determined to avoid direct conflict with the Fire Nation, fearing it might force the Land of Earth to align with them.
The war's escalation meant that the Land of Fire was under assault by the Three Kingdoms. Ai, concerned about potential raids from Konoha, ordered additional protection for the grain storage area. Ginkaku, Silver Horn, one of the "Kumo's Ninjas,"(note: because most of the time. Ginkaku and kinkaku, they do whatever they want) was assigned to oversee the site due to the reduced military strain.
Sora, a talented Kumo ninja and disciple of Da (note: Future Third Raikage), was stationed at the grain storage area. She had hoped to engage directly in battles and report on the situation to Fumori Masaki, but her assignments had been limited. Her teacher, Da, believed she was safer here, away from direct combat.
Despite her disappointment, Sora took her role seriously. She was aware of the significance of her assignment, especially as it involved protecting crucial supplies. She practiced regularly, imagining confrontations with Fumori Masaki and preparing for a future battle.
When Ginkaku arrived, he greeted Sora with unwelcome advances. His interest was more about personal pleasure and disrespect than respect for her as a warrior. Ginkaku's comments were degrading, and despite her anger, Sora was restrained. As a disciple of Da, she knew she had to maintain her composure even in the face of such behavior.
Ginkaku's treatment of Sora was in stark contrast to the respect he received from other Kumo ninjas. His behavior, though inappropriate, was overlooked due to his strength and status. This disparity frustrated Sora, who felt increasingly isolated and demoralized.
As she observed Ginkaku's popularity and the respect he commanded, Sora's desire to leave the grain storage area grew stronger. She felt trapped in a situation that undermined her skills and ambitions, and the continued mistreatment only deepened her sense of dissatisfaction.
