My Hokage can't be an undercover agent

After ending his contact with Uchiha Madara, Danzo had a good sleep.

The original plan was also suspended.

There is no way, Uchiha Madara's surveillance of Danzo is far more stringent than imagined.

Danzo originally planned to send a shadow clone on the way back to dig out the catalog of forbidden arts left by the Second Hokage.

But now that I think about it carefully, considering the level of attention Uchiha Madara pays to me, it's better not to seek death and return to Konoha first.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next day, they got up early and called Adai and Kosuke. Danzo and the other three packed their bags and ran towards the headquarters of Konoha Village at a very fast speed.

Once you enter the Land of Fire, you no longer need to hide your identity.

Showing his Konoha forehead protector, he looked for the nearest route.

After working for half a day, a distant noise attracted Danzo's attention.

He greeted Adai and Kosuke and took a closer look while hiding his figure.

Four miles away, a castle built on a hill appeared in front of Danzo and the others.

However, compared to the castle built against mountains and rivers, the troops surrounding the castle made Danzo even more worried.

"There are more than 300 mounted warriors, and there must be tens of thousands of warriors on foot."

After carefully observing the situation in the camp, Danzo couldn't help but curse.

"The Daimyo of Tian Country is crazy. Before the Mist Ninja and Iwa Ninja came to attack him, he dared to lead his troops to besiege our Fire Country."

When Adai next to Danzo heard this, he said nothing. Instead, Kosuke took out a cylindrical object from his bag and handed it to Danzo.

"Monocular Telescope"

Danzo looked at Kosuke in shock, and Kosuke replied, but the content was not what Danzo thought.

"Danzo-sama, I always like to be more prepared."

No, I know you are always more prepared than other ninjas.

But I always thought you prepared an iron pot and seasonings.

Without really saying what he was thinking, Danzo took the telescope from Kosuke's hand and carefully observed the situation in the enemy camp.

With the telescope in his hand, Danzo had a more realistic understanding of the situation of Team Tian.

"Not all of them are samurai... Among the tens of thousands of people, at least eight thousand are ashigaru who carry spears."

Ashigaru is usually held by peasant soldiers recruited from the countryside.

Nominally they are the lowest level of samurai, but in fact, they are commonly known as "cannon fodder" and "miscellaneous soldiers."

"These peasants and soldiers are nothing to be afraid of."

They serve the people in peacetime and soldiers in war, carrying spears to defend against cavalry and using bows and arrows as cover.

You come to collect the corpses and burn the city, and then send you to death in order to get promoted and make a fortune. . .It would be nice not to charge you more taxes, but you still want to get rich

A battlefield tool man, this is the position of Ashigaru.

"Generally speaking, as long as the warriors in the team are eliminated, these peasant soldiers will disperse and run home."

These peasant soldiers, who had no armor and no desire to make achievements, and were dragged to the battlefield by their lords just because they had to perform labor service, were not the targets Danzo wanted to deal with at all.

"If you want to break the siege of the castle, it's best to capture the thief first and capture the king first."

"Let me see how the defense is around the Daimyo of Tian Country."

Danzo stretched out his lens and glanced at the main formation of the Tian no Kuni Daimyo with flags fluttering.

I saw that the quality of the samurai around this daimyo was obviously much more elite, even compared to those ashigaru pig heads wearing swords and armor. . .Ah, no, compared to the ashigaru-gumi, the armor is also brighter and the waist is stronger.

However, in Danzo's eyes, these samurai are just chickens and dogs.

"It's a pity that it was before."

In the eyes of Danzo, who used to be an elite Jonin, no matter how good these elite warriors are at fighting, they are nothing more than a few wind-escaped goods.

That's not to say there aren't capable men in the samurai ranks.

Danzo had heard of a few samurai who were as powerful as jounin, but those people were undoubtedly known as "swordsmen".

If he were a samurai like Mifune, the general of the Iron Kingdom, who could fight against Kage-level ninjas, he would be called a "Sword Master".

Such characters are all people who cherish their reputation and uphold the concept of "scholarship".

It cannot be driven by yellow and white Adu things.

Just like the fat-headed Daimyo of the Land Country, who eagerly wanted to take advantage of the Fire Country when he heard that other countries were attacking Konoha, he was also equipped with a swordsman-level samurai guard.

Moreover, even a swordsman with strength comparable to that of a Jonin was by no means a great figure in the eyes of Danzo in the past.

"But if it's up to me, who can only use shadow clones now, to forcefully attack the Daimyo main formation..."

Danzo is not crazy yet.

The trio of Danzo, Adai, and Kosuke are now the "Three Chunin" team.

It's no problem to kill a hundred-man Ashigaru team led by two team leaders. Even with a little more strength, it's no problem to kill a team of Ashigaru generals who usually lead at least 200 people.

But if you want to break through the front line composed of at least hundreds of peasants and soldiers, and then have a fierce battle with the elite warriors guarding the daimyo, you may even have to accept an attack from the three hundred mounted warriors.

Finally, attack the daimyo and enjoy the unlikely but possible blow from the swordsman. . .

The success rate of being a Hokage is higher than this

At least there was still a chance Mito Uzumaki would die of food poisoning tonight.

Besides, the Daimyo of Ta no Kuni was surrounded by more than just samurai.

Yes, although Danzo had never used the cylindrical utensils carried by the samurai fifty steps in front of the Daimyo of Ta no Kuni, he still heard about them.

"Iron cannon..."

Iron cannon, a type of firearm.

Using the power of gunpowder to shoot projectiles from the muzzle, even ninjas generally would not confront it head-on.

Danzo was not that proficient in military affairs, and at this distance, he really couldn't tell whether the iron cannon in the hands of the Taino Kuni samurai was a matchlock gun or a flintlock gun.

But no matter what kind of gun the enemy on the opposite side had, at least it wasn't a fire stick.

It can really kill people

"No wonder they dare to attack the city without even bringing ninjas with them..."

Even if the lord's small castle on the border of the Land of Fire is actually equipped with Konoha ninjas, they are definitely only of the lower-middle level.

Facing two hundred muskets and tens of thousands of warriors, they were lucky to be able to save their lives.

To successfully defend the city or even repel the enemy is tantamount to fantasy.

Since the establishment of Konoha Village 15 years ago, the defense of the Fire Country has basically been presided over by Konoha ninjas.

The old samurai were merely subordinate.

Not that the Fire Nation Daimyo wanted to do this.

It's just that more than twenty years ago, the territory governed by the Fire Country was far less vast than it is now.

Now that the Fire Country can dominate the forest of powerful countries and be respected as the leader of the continent, it was still the honeymoon period of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in the past. The two teamed up to attack a dozen small countries around the Fire Country and defeated them by force.

Later, Uchiha Madara left and Senju Hashirama practiced in seclusion. Naturally, the Fire Nation daimyo began to cultivate his own power in various places.

But to be honest, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is already praised for his skill in allowing various places to continue to fly the flag of the Fire Country under the current circumstances.

If he wants to bring out the old samurai field regiment that is loyal and powerful, it will only take ten years. This will be too difficult for this daimyo.
