The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

"Conflict? You two killed Akatsuki's people?"

"That's not the point."

"Evacuate the people and retreat to Xingyin Village."

Linru interrupted the conversation between Yagyu and Hayato and thought: "With the strength of the few of us, we can fight those five thousand ninjas, but we don't have any extra energy to take care of the capital."

If you lose the land, everyone will lose it. If you lose the land, everyone will gain it. Linru adheres to this kind of thinking. The goal of the capital is too big, there are no natural dangers to defend, and there are too many enemies. It is difficult for our own experts to protect it no matter what. comprehensive.

In this case, it is better to take retreat as an advance and let go of your hands and feet to fight.

"There is a natural miasma around Xingyin Village. It is not easy for the enemy to break through there, but..." Hayato put his hand on his chin and muttered: "If we launch a large-scale evacuation and retreat operation, the news cannot be hidden from enemy spies. "

"If the Sandstone Alliance forces make a surprise attack and pursue them one after another, the people of our country of work will be in a dilemma and will suffer heavy casualties." Hayato frowned. The distance between the capital and Xingyin Village is not close, and this stretch of road is likely to be a key target for the enemy. object.

Linru shook his head and said, "We can only try our best to buy time."

While everyone was discussing, the door suddenly opened and Xia Xia Xing walked in step by step and reported: "My lords, there is an envoy from the enemy who wants to talk to us."

Linru frowned: "Let him come over."

After a while, a sand ninja stepped into the observation deck. He looked at everyone present and said arrogantly: "People from the country of work, I advise you to hand over the formula of gunpowder and the manufacturing blueprint of the musket as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, by the time we launch a massive attack, it will be too late."

Yagyu silently drew his sword, Linru held him down, and said to the Sunagakure: "Sunagakure Village breaks the peace of the shinobi world without authorization, aren't you afraid of being condemned by every village? How is your behavior different from bandits?"

"Saito Raizo, don't sound so righteous. Your usurpation of power has already caused the dissatisfaction of our country's daimyo. I used to be too lazy to care about you, but now..." The sand ninja paused and laughed:

"Not only researching forbidden weapons in private, but also killing the ninjas of our village over and over again. With the strength of your country of work, don't you think this is a bit arrogant?"

"Why, if you dare to send spies, we won't dare to kill you?"

Hayato spoke suddenly and sneered.

"The right thing to do is to repatriate, okay? You are just a small country, don't take yourself too seriously..." Looking at this fearless Sand Ninja, Linru couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Do you still want to kill me?" The sand ninja didn't take it seriously. Instead, he opened his arms calmly and showed himself ready to be slaughtered: "Behead my messenger, and you will lose the last chance to seek peace."

"To tell you the truth, before I came here, I never thought about going back alive."

After a few seconds of silence.

"Give me some time to think about it." Linru pretended to think, and waved to Xia Xing. The female star Ninja happily accepted the order and took the messenger away. The sand Ninja left and still shouted:

"You'd better make a decision quickly. Tomorrow morning, our [-] ninja troops from Sunagakure and Iwagakure will be approaching the city. By then, even if you want to sue for peace, it will be too late!"

There are obviously only 5000 people, but you say it's 1. Who are you trying to scare?

"Blood Owl, are you really going to hand over gunpowder and muskets to those bastards?" Yagyu Sheng's temper got worse. He squeezed the scabbard tightly, veins popped out on the back of his hand, his brows were almost twisted into a "Sichuan" shape, and he said with a fierce look in his eyes:

"What opponent have we not seen in so many years? Have we ever been afraid? Although the Kingdom of Works has been in business for a long time, why can't we give up? The worst is to make a comeback!"

Linru glared at Liu Sheng fiercely and said coldly:

"Who told you that I was going to compromise?"

"Then you are?"

Seeing Yagyu's eyes widening in confusion, Linru raised the corners of his mouth, stretched out his arms and invited: "I just want to take advantage of my spare time to have a drink with you before the war comes!"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other.

These five thousand ninjas are coming tomorrow. Do you still want to drink?

Kisame was speechless, indicating that he couldn't understand.

Quan curled his lips, but said nothing.

However, Yagyu and Hayato seemed to react and laughed:

"Good! I agree!"

"Seconded!"

Jars of spirits were moved to the observation deck by the Star Ninjas and set up. At the right time, the sky was getting late, night was falling, and the moon was rising. The capital of the Kingdom of Work was completely silent, except for the bright lights and bustle at the top.

Linru sat relaxedly on the tatami, with his arms on his knees, holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, blowing the cold night breeze, and admiring the beautiful night sky, as if he had abandoned all calculations and all pretense, and revealed his truest self.

At this moment, is it the last calm before the storm?

Feeling something in his heart, he sighed leisurely:

"In this world, ideas are rigid, classes are solidified, human lives are worse than dogs, daimyo nobles rely on their bloodline to dominate and prosper, ninjas rely on their chakras to act as accomplices, and civilians are afraid of making progress. How boring is it?"

Yagyu smashed the wine bottle and said drunkenly: "I didn't hear any comments about samurai from your words. Does this mean that samurai can temporarily fall into your eyes? Just like me?"

"What's the difference between a samurai and a ninja? They both do things for money, and then label their actions with a veil of justice. One is called bushido, and the other is called the will of fire."

Hayato burped and said disapprovingly: "I don't agree with what you said. The spiritual core of Bushido lies in loyalty to the master, while the spiritual core of Will of Fire lies in loyalty to the ninja village. There is still a difference."

Kisame didn't drink much, and he was the only one who was still sober in the room. It was interesting to listen to these three drunkards chatting, and he interjected: "Blood Owl, I've always wondered why you want to study such things as muskets."

"Is there a better way to improve the combat power of the Kingdom of Work? For example, making tools specially provided for ninjas?" Kisame scratched his head and pointedly said: "In that case, there shouldn't be so many enemies. Bar?"

Linru smiled slightly: "You also know that since the birth of Chakra, war has been monopolized by ninjas, and the fights are fought by people from the major ninja villages. Don't you think this is boring?"

"Firearms give ordinary people the opportunity to fight ninjas. When the status of ninjas is threatened, some vested interests will naturally be unable to sit still, so they want to put out the flames, just like now."

Kisame was a little confused: "Then what can you get from it?"

Linru replied leisurely and contentedly:

"I think it's funny and that's enough."

interesting?

Kisame didn't think the blood owl's purpose would be so simple, but he didn't say anything else. In any case, the results of this series of disputes caused by new weapons will be revealed in the next few days, whether the country of work will survive or die. .

Quan quietly listened to everyone's chatting, and stood up to pour wine from time to time, but she didn't drink at all. On the way here, she had seen the power of firearms, and it would be great if she used them to avenge Itachi.

No wonder Linru would say that coming to the country of work can improve his strength...

While everyone was chatting, they were toasting and drinking. The atmosphere was leisurely and comfortable, without the tension before the war. Until the last bottle of wine was finished, Linru greeted Xia Xing who was waiting quietly next to him:

"Bring me the messenger from Sunagakure."
