Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

The so-called temporary helplessness does not mean that there is really no solution. Some words are not stated clearly, but in fact everyone knows it well. The Twelve Guardian Ninjas sound very famous, but they are not worthy of it. Let Hokage-sama be distracted and concerned.

The real target that Akimichi Tofeng was wary of was not the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

But the Fire Daimyo!

Although the intelligence collected from various channels so far shows no sign that the Fire Daimyo is behind the scenes, it is only a small group of people headed by Kazuma who are jumping up and down trying to target Konoha. The Fire Daimyo seems to be kept in the dark, but who If you believe that the Fire Lord really knows nothing about this, then you can only say that this person is either really naive or really stupid. Of course, he may also be pretending to be confused because he understands.

No matter what others think,

As the fifth generation Hokage, Akimichi Tofaze didn't believe that the Fire Daimyo was really the spotless White Lotus.

It was precisely because of the possibility that the Fire Daimyo was involved that this matter, which was not a big deal at first, became a big deal enough for Konoha's top brass to discuss collectively, and in the end, they only came up with a wait-and-see approach. result.

This is also impossible,

The Fire Daimyo is the titular head of the Fire Nation.

Even the Hokage is nominally one level lower than the Fire Daimyo. In this case, it is difficult for Konoha to take the initiative to prevent problems in the bud, even if there is a Fire Daimyo in hand trying to target Konoha. Evidence of adverse actions, but as long as the Fire Daimyo doesn't take action first, there will always be various sequelae left behind.

The one-country-one-village system is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that even if the large number of middle- and lower-class ninjas in Konoha Village believe that the Hokage is the supreme leader of the village, they will also maintain respect for the Fire Daimyo. In this case Taking action against the Fire Daimyo will put you under great pressure.

of course,

If Hokage-sama is strong enough and his foundation is deep enough, it is not impossible to change to another Fire Daimyo. In Zongxuan's opinion, there are not to mention a hundred ways, but the most brutal and direct one is to support one of the many children who encourages the Fire Daimyo. A kid who had no chance of becoming the next generation of daimyo could just stage a coup.

It's a pity that Qiu Daochengfeng is not such a person.

The Inokacho Tribe has always been averse to publicity. Compared to Uchiha and Hinata, the Inogacho Tribe is notoriously low-key. It would be unrealistic to expect Akimichi Tofeng to make radical choices, so Sozuru There is no mention of those methods to eliminate all subsequent troubles from the source.

Anyway, he didn't take it to heart.

What kind of waves can a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs stir up?

Even if you are really lucky and make some noise, what will happen?As the saying goes, when water comes, earth will cover him, and when soldiers come, he will stop him. He is not afraid of any challenge.

······

Daming Mansion, Imperial Palace.

By the way, let me explain here, the Daimyo Mansion is not the palace of the Fire Daimyo, but the capital of the Country of Fire. It is a prosperous city comparable to Konoha. Although Konoha has always called itself a village, this is not important. , mainly to explain that the imperial palace is the daimyo's palace, that is, the king's palace and the emperor's palace.

The work place of the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors is at the Imperial Palace.

They were responsible for the close protection of the Fire Daimyo.

this day,

Sarutobi Asuma finished his work, handed over to his companions, and was about to go out for a drink. As soon as he returned to his room and changed into casual clothes, someone came to the door, "Asuma, are you ready to go out?" He is a bald man with excellent appearance, wearing gray and white monk robes.

"Yo! Dilu, you're there! I didn't see you when I came back just now, so I thought you were out. How about it? Do you want to go out for a drink with me?"

Sarutobi Asuma smiled and extended an invitation to his friends.

"Are you still in the mood to drink?"

Dilu frowned and asked: "Do you know what Kazuma has been doing recently?"

"What Kazuma wants to do is his freedom, and I have no right to interfere with his ideas."

This answer made the anger in Dilu's chest burn even more intensely. His expression seemed to have turned into the angry sculpture of King Ming from the Temple of Fire in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Ah Sima, what's going on with you? What are you thinking? Are you just going to watch Kazuma do whatever he wants? You don't care even if Konoha is attacked because of this?"

The anger was due to the recent actions of Kazuma and a group of others, and also because of Sarutobi Asuma's inaction.

He was confused,

I don’t understand what’s wrong with Asma?

He turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to the behavior of He Ma and others. When working, he was still as serious and responsible as ever. However, after work, he reduced his friendship with his colleagues and often wandered alone in the restaurants in Daming Mansion.

"care?"

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Chiriku blocking the door, and understood that if he didn't explain clearly today, it might be difficult to get out of this door smoothly. He looked at Chiriku for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but sneered, "I Why should you care?"

Dilu's eyes widened and he looked at his friend in front of him in disbelief. He never expected to hear such words from Asma's mouth, "You, you, Asma, do you know what you are talking about? Why?" Do you care? Is this even worth asking? You are a ninja of Konoha!"

It's so weird.

The origins of the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors are quite complicated.

Kazuma is from the ninja organization [Oteiban] that serves the Daimyo; Chiriku is from the most famous temple in the Fire Country [Fire Temple]; Kitane and others are from the leading ninja gathering in the Fire Country. The land is [Hakumine Sato]; and Sarutobi Asuma is the only ninja from [Konoha Village] among the twelve guardian ninjas.

In terms of care,

Sarutobi Asuma is the one who should be most concerned about this matter.

But he showed a completely uncaring attitude.

"When I joined the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, I was voluntarily given up as a Konoha ninja. This is what the Godaime Hokage told me when I went back to the village last time." Sarutobi Asuma looked cold. Looking at Jilu, "According to your logic, Jilu, as a Konoha ninja, I should dedicate everything to Konoha, but I am no longer a Konoha ninja, so... Can you let me go? Today I’m tired from work and I need to go have a drink and relax.”

"You...Asma, are you still doubting your father?"

Di Lu subconsciously expressed his thoughts.

"Yes, I have never forgotten that a mere Loquat Juzo could actually kill the mighty Sandaime Hokage. What a joke! Do you think I am a brainless idiot?" Asuma Sarutobi roared at the last moment. , Dilu is very angry?

But he is also full of anger! ! !

Jilu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. It involved the internal struggle in Konoha Village... He didn't know what to say, and he also believed that the death of the Sandaime Hokage There is something fishy about it, but the successor Fifth Hokage and many high-level officials in Konoha Village have no objections. What can he, a little ninja monk from the Fire Temple, do?

Even if you are the host, you can't do anything.

It is not the turn of outsiders to intervene in Konoha's affairs.

And at this point, he also clearly realized that Asuma probably really didn't intend to care about the incident with Ma, and his heart suddenly felt sad. He was silent for a moment, silently took two steps back, and let After opening the road, Sarutobi Asuma didn't say another word, and went out in silence as well, and walked away firmly.

Di Lu returned to his residence with complicated thoughts.

Upon entering the door,

Someone asked: "How's it going? What did Asuma say? Do you want to talk to Hema? Why haven't you seen him?" The person who spoke obviously took it for granted that Dilu would definitely bring the ape with him. Come with Asma.

"Asuma doesn't care about such things."

Di Lu answered simply and clearly.

He walked in. There were not many external objects in the three-square-foot room. As a Ninja monk, Dilu had very low materialistic requirements, so even though the room was not big, it did not seem crowded, even with two people. The same is true in the case of guests.

"Asuma doesn't care...what do you mean?"

After Jilu sat down on the tatami, one of the guests spoke.

"It means literally. Asuma's father is the Sandaime Hokage. He has not yet come out of the shadow of his father's death. Pekan, Narima, we can't expect Asuma to act with us now. We can only We can rely on ourselves."?

Bei Gen is a man with thick eyebrows. His appearance is very ordinary, but his thick eyebrows will leave an unforgettable impression on people. After hearing Di Lu's explanation, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He wanted to speak. He stopped again, and finally just let out a helpless sigh, "Alas! Asmata... alas!"

The assassination of the Sandaime Hokage was no secret in the Land of Fire.

What's more, as the Daimyo's personal guards, they knew that the assassination of the Third Hokage was not that simple, but to be honest, if it weren't for Sarutobi Asuma, their companion, they wouldn't care about such a thing at all. They are not stupid. The ninjas of Konoha, what does the internal struggle and strife in Konoha have to do with them?

"But without Asuma's support, it would be difficult for us to fight against Kazuma and the others."

Another guest spoke. Cheng Ma was much more delicate than Bei Gen. There was a cross-shaped scar on the edge of his right face. He smiled bitterly and said: "There are only five of us, and there are six of Kazuma and the others..." ···If there is a conflict, we cannot stop it.”

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas, as the name suggests, there are 12 of them.

Due to differences in opinions, they were divided into two factions, the radical faction and the moderate faction. What is interesting is that each of the two factions has six people. The radical faction is headed by Kazuma, and the moderate faction is headed by Sarutobi Asuma. The balance in numbers is also in terms of strength. In order to maintain the balance between the two factions, neither faction can do anything to the other, so the peace has been maintained.

But now things have changed,

For some reason, Kazuma's recent actions have become more radical and more publicized, and he has begun to unabashedly promote his theory that the Hokage is useless and that Konoha should accept the direct jurisdiction of the Daimyo. You must know that the Daimyo Mansion is the Land of Fire. The capital of the country gathered a large number of dignitaries from the Fire Nation, and thus attracted a large number of ninjas from all over the country.

Let me explain here,

The Country of Fire has one and only one ninja village, Konoha. This is the influence of the one-country-one-village system established by the First Hokage and the Fire Daimyo. However, except for Konoha Village, the Country of Fire actually has There are still a large number of ninja families in the world, as well as the 'Ninja Village'.

The ninja family understands well that the ninja group exists with blood as the bond.

But not all ninja families can pass on their own inheritance. As early as the Warring States Period, ninja families have gathered together to form the so-called 'Ninja Village'. Strictly speaking, the Ninja Village is the evolution of the Ninja Village. Version, in the original version of Ninjago, there were only ninjas, no ordinary people, and naturally there was no such thing as civilian ninjas.

This is probably the situation. Not only in the Land of Fire, but also in other countries, similar situations prevail. In the most typical Kingdom of Water, in addition to internal fighting, the Mist Ninjas also fight among the various ninjas in the Kingdom of Water. Friction broke out among the ninja family.

Currently,

Kazuma is constantly contacting and lobbying these ninjas and ninja families, and seems to have made a lot of progress. After all, not everyone likes Konoha. Some of these ninjas and ninja families can do it. They are self-sufficient, but some also need to rely on the tasks of nobles and merchants to survive. Naturally, Konoha, a strong competitor, will not make people like it.

Of course, you can also choose to be friends with Konoha and the ninja no Sato and the ninja family. For example, the Hakuho no Sato where Kitane and the others were born have a close relationship with Konoha Village. This also affects their ideas and they stand against Kazuma. On the other hand, the same is true for Earth and Earth. The relationship between Fire Temple and Konoha is even better.

"Do Kazuma and the others really dare to take action?"

Beigen felt that what Naruma said was a bit exaggerated.

The conflict between the radical faction and the moderate faction is not a short-term thing. A similar dispute occurred shortly after the formation of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. The confrontation between the two factions has lasted for several years, but it has always remained at the same level. The degree of discussion.

"Why don't you dare? Kazuma and the others are not even afraid of being enemies of Konoha, so why wouldn't they dare to attack us?" Narima's retort silenced Kitane. There is nothing wrong with what he said. Kazuma and the others are acting more and more now High-profile, to be honest, sooner or later they would attract Konoha's attention if this continued, but they did it anyway.

It is not difficult to think that Kazuma may have really made a decision.

A decision that may completely change the previous stalemate, and what's worse is that the moderates have lost their leader. Originally, even if there was a conflict, everyone was still [-]-[-], but now it has suddenly turned into a [-]-[-] decision. Twenty-eight, the impact of missing Sarutobi Asuma is by no means as simple as minus one from the number.

Once the balance is destroyed,

Often there will be one-sided results.

"Dilu, do you have any ideas?"

Beigen looked at Dilu,

Among the six moderate faction members, if Sarutobi Asuma is the number one, then Chiriku is the second in command. At this time, Sarutobi Asma chose to stay out of the matter, so they can only count on Chiriku.

"I want to go to Konoha."

"Go to Konoha?"

Naruma raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Are you going to contact Konoha to deal with Kazuma?"

"It's hard to say how to deal with it specifically, but Kazuma and the others must not be allowed to act so wantonly. If they are allowed to act like this, I'm worried that irreparable consequences will occur. And since we alone are unable to stop Kazuma and the others, we can only With the help of Konoha’s power.”

Dilu said seriously.
