The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 342 Home?
Daimyo Mansion, Fire Country Daimyo sat quietly in the main hall with his wife and children. The daimyo still looked calm, but his wife and children looked a little nervous, as if they were waiting for something.

"Shu~"

"Big name."

"Oh, Asma, what's going on?"

"It's all been dealt with, but the scene outside is quite bloody. It's not suitable for wives and young ladies to go out. Please rest indoors tonight." Sarutobi Asmahui reported.

Hearing this, the tense look on the faces of his wife and children disappeared, and a thread that had been tense in his heart was also loosened. In the eyes of Daming, all this seemed to be as it should be, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

"You are not injured, are you?" the daimyo asked with concern.

"Thank you Daimyo for your concern, we are all fine, even..." At this point, Sarutobi Asuma's face showed bitterness.

"Even what?"

"...None of us participated in the battle. When we realized it, Konoha's Anbu had already killed all the rebels around."

Sarutobi Asma felt pain in his heart. He left Konoha to wander around because of his lack of strength. He claimed to be a genius, and he was Konoha's young master, higher than others, but Adam He has never taken a fancy to him, and even the girl he likes has been selected, but he has remained silent.

In the end, he saw that Kurenai Yuhi had achieved success in cultivation, and his strength far surpassed his own. Not only Kurenai Yuhi, but also Mitarai Anko who he didn't think much of before, Uchiha Itachi who was much younger than him, The Uchiha Shisui and others he dealt with were all far ahead of him. Dispirited, he chose to leave Konoha to find his own way of survival.

Over the years, he has worked as a bodyguard and hired ninja, and he has never slacked off, forcing himself to walk on the edge of life and death, and forcing himself to become stronger.

Now, he already has the strength of an elite jonin. He was thinking of looking for an opportunity to make a daimyo trip, and he returned to Konoha to tell Kureni Yuhi and those who once underestimated him that he, Asma Sarutobi, is still excellent.

But today, Konoha Anbe's attack shattered the little self-confidence he had regained.

Although Anbu is all Konoha's elite ninjas, it is impossible for all of them to be elite johnin, but today's Anbu, at least in his eyes, is stronger than him, and the strong ones even have Kage-level strength. And judging by his appearance, he is only a middle-level cadre.

Among the wandering ninjas hired by the vassals, there are many good players. Among them, Asma Sarutobi knows him. If he fights, he must be the one who wins. But if he wants to kill with one blow so quietly, he can't do it.

"Really? Konoha... Hohohoho...has never let me down." Daimyo smiled mysteriously.

"... big name."

"what happened?"

"Are you... willing?" Sarutobi Asma hesitated for a long time before asking this question.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Sarutobi Asma himself is like this, the Sarutobi clan is becoming dilapidated day by day, his identity has become worthless, and all the privileges he once enjoyed have disappeared. He has spent a lot of time and experienced too much wind and rain to adapt, and has always been pampered daimyo , It is difficult for him to imagine that he can accept the end of his rights being taken away.

"Why are you unwilling? Asma, you have been with me for two years. Do you think the rights are really in my hands?" Daimyo asked.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Asma fell silent.

"Since it's not in my hands in the first place, why should I be reluctant to part with it?"

"But... this should belong to you..."

"The times have changed, Asma, the distorted era is gone forever, and it was brought back to the right track by the mysterious big hand. If you keep up with the pace of the times, you will have a chance to survive. If you can't keep up, you will only be abandoned by the times. "

At this moment, in the eyes of Sarutobi Asma, the daimyo who has always been cowardly and moderate, his figure is infinitely elevated. It turns out that he has already seen the essence of everything clearly, and he also knows what is the most striving choice.

"Asma, after tonight, go back to Konoha, go back to the place you belonged to, Konoha is the center of the new era, go and see the era that is all about you, you...you are still young." Daming comforted road.

"But... am I still qualified to go back?" Sarutobi Asma's face once again showed bitterness.

"Why not? That's your home, people...will go home after all."

"Family……"

Sarutobi Asuma was shocked. He hadn't heard this word for a long time. It was familiar but also strange.

My mood seems to return to the place where I was born, grew up, and finally abandoned by myself. There are childhood partners, elderly father, and friends who used to walk side by side with me, and now far surpass me.

"...Maybe, it's time to go back and have a look."

Thinking about it, Asma Sarutobi felt his shoulders relax a bit, some obsessions were untied, subconsciously he didn't pay attention to the situation, and lit a cigarette...

"Ahem, Asma."

"Uh..." Sarutobi Asma was taken aback, seeing the Daming family covering their mouths and noses and looking at him with disgust, and immediately came back to their senses, "Sorry."

I apologized and disappeared where I was. It was so embarrassing. I didn't pay attention to the occasion and started smoking in front of the boss's family. Although I will leave tomorrow, isn't it not tomorrow yet?

After Sarutobi Asma left, Daimyo smiled and didn't say much, but his wife looked melancholy.

"Your Highness, what shall we do in the future?"

She knew about using power in exchange for Konoha's help to get rid of retainers and protect the safety of her family, but...she didn't know how Konoha would treat them after that. She didn't care, as long as she stayed with her husband That’s fine, but what about the kids?
"Don't worry, Minato has promised me that I have no rights, but keep the wealth, we can live a prosperous life, and Minato even invited our family to settle in Konoha." Daimyo comforted.

"Is that so... If you go to Konoha, wouldn't that be..."

"As long as we don't do anything and become wealthy businessmen, what if we go to Konoha? Konoha has changed so much in the past few years, and I haven't visited it yet. How about we go and see it together?"

Of course the daimyo knew that Minato invited them to Konoha for the sake of protection in name, but in fact they were just under the nose for surveillance.

But so what?
If I still live in Daming Mansion, they can't monitor it?And I have no intention of resetting, so let them monitor it.

"...Okay." The wife saw that the daimyo had made up her mind, so she didn't try to persuade her any more. She used to not be keen on power and wealth, as long as the family can live well. Now, it is still the same.

……

The same situation happened in the land of earth and the land of water at the same time, but it is slightly different from the land of fire. The daimyos of the two countries, Water and Water, did not have such good luck. They made a wrong choice, and together with the people who followed them, they were swallowed by the darkness of the night and disappeared without a sound.
