Hokage: I and the Kami

Early the next morning.

Shimizu Masaaki found Bai Nan and spoke directly.

"Young Master, you don't have to deal with family affairs today. You should prepare yourself and pack your things. I will take you away from the clan in the afternoon."ъ

Bai Nan sighed in his heart, it seemed that the worst case scenario had occurred.

"What exactly happened?"

"Young Master, you don't need to know this, we will arrange everything."

"You call me young master, right? Uncle Zhengming."

"right......"

"So, tell me."

Looking at Bai Nan's determined face, Qingshui Zhengming hesitated for a while and finally told the situation.

Without saying a word, Bai Nan picked up a map from the bedside of his room. This was what he asked Elder Qianzuo for after he knew there might be enemies around the family. During the war, a map was too important.

Putting the map on the table, Bai Nan pointed at one of the points with his finger and moved his finger as he spoke.

"This is our clan territory. There is a battlefield not far to the south. It does not take too long to transmit information. Uncle Zhengming, you said that the Nishizhu family mobilized forty ninjas. We all know that forty ninjas are a lot. So, , will the transfer of forty ninjas have no impact on the Nishizhu family?

Our Qingshui family and the Nishizhu family are about the same strength. Uncle Zhengming, tell me, what will happen if the other side loses forty ninjas on the front line? "

Shimizu Masaaki spoke without hesitation.

"Our tribe will be unstoppable and gain a huge advantage. I'm afraid it will only take half a month to a month to completely defeat the Xizhu family and reach their clan territory."

However, after saying these impassioned words, Shimizu Masaaki shook his head again and continued talking.

"But before that, these forty ninjas from around our tribe will take the lead to attack our tribe. Therefore, we must arrange for the tribe to evacuate. The people of the Nishizhu family want to drag us, the Qingshui tribe, to die together. Of course we can't agree to that."

Bai Nan's fingers kept shaking on the map, as if he was looking for something.

"There are 40 of them. Uncle Zhengming, are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? I mean, you saw forty living people with your own eyes, not from a distance."

"Of course, it is impossible for me to make the mistake of being confused by the enemy."

Qingshui Zhengming didn't take it seriously. He could see that the fourth young master wanted to think of a way to break the situation, but he knew that evacuating was the best way. No matter what tricks the other side played, they would definitely do it. There are actually forty ninjas entrenched around the clan, and the current clan is unable to resist this force.

The only way is to evacuate. No matter what the Xizhu family's real thoughts are, they cannot gamble with the lives of all the old, young, women, and children in the clan.

"What did the front line say?"

When you are not sure whether there are enemies before, of course you can't just ask the front line to withdraw people to defend the tribe. That may cause the front line battle to fall into a disadvantage or even collapse. After all, when you are not sure whether there are enemies, who knows? Is that an illusion disguised by the other party?

Now that it is confirmed that the other party has sent people over, they can naturally ask for help from the front line. Moreover, the Qingshui tribe can return to the tribe in a straight line, without making a large circle like the Xizhu tribe, and can get back quickly.

Qingshui Zhengming nodded secretly, and he had an idea.

"The letter has been written and is ready to be sent to the front line. In about seven or eight days, the people on the front line will be able to return to the clan area. However, during this period, the other party will definitely launch an attack. In order to prevent accidents, we still have to send important information to the clan area. People evacuate.”

Bai Nan believes that Elder Zhengming and his team's arrangements have been perfected, everything that needs to be done has been done, and there are no loopholes, but he always has a feeling that he seems to have missed something...

His eyes kept scanning the map. Bai Nan wanted to find out what he had missed. A trace of inspiration ran through his brain, but he couldn't catch it. Bai Nan was a little annoyed. However, at this moment, Bai Nan Nan's eyes saw the location of the frontline battlefield, and he suddenly remembered the most fundamental question - how did they discover the enemy?

It was because a letter came from the front line, saying that during the battle on the front line, it was discovered that there were fewer people in the Xizhu family on the opposite side, and they might have come to raid the rear.

It was because of this letter that the Qingshui clan discovered their enemy.

But why did the frontline fight for a month only to find that the other side was missing people?

This is not normal!too slow!

Bai Nan told Masaaki Shimizu about his doubts.

Qingshui Masaaki showed no surprise and spoke calmly.

"There is indeed something weird in this. It shouldn't have taken a month for the frontline to discover the opponent's lack of people. But young master, I also said before, no matter what weirdness there is, there are indeed forty hostile ninjas around the family now. , everything must be compromised for this.”

Bai Nan was immediately discouraged. Yes, there must be something weird in this matter, but so what?The other party has already put a knife on your neck. No matter how big the issue is, you have to wait until you escape this disaster before thinking about it.

Bai Nan withdrew his finger, and he gave up.

"Uncle Zhengming, can you hold on?"

Even if you want to evacuate, someone must stay to defend the tribe and buy time for the evacuees. Otherwise, if no one holds the enemy back, it will be a pure hunt for the enemy, and most of them will have to Die on the road.

Shimizu Masaaki's expression finally changed, and he smiled very reluctantly.

"Young Master, get ready, we will set off in the afternoon."

There was no direct answer to Bai Nan's question, but Bai Nan had already received the answer.

"I see, how many people can be evacuated?"

There was a moment of silence, and then.

"do not know."

A simple answer made Bai Nan feel depressed again.

have no idea?How could Shimizu Masaaki not know? !As elders, how could they not estimate how many people could be evacuated?

It’s not that I don’t know, I’m afraid I just don’t want to say it.

After all, those who can be evacuated can survive, but those who cannot be evacuated...

Naturally, it cannot be evacuated, nor can it be evacuated again.

The number of people who cannot be evacuated will probably not be that small.

"Young Master, I will arrange for two people to meet you later, and then you will evacuate with those two people."

"Only two people?"

"Evacuate in batches."

After saying this, Bai Nan understood that even if they were evacuated in the same group, they could not leave together. Otherwise, if they were blocked by the other party, no one would be able to escape. It was best to evacuate in batches.

Another cruel fact is that those who are not very important can also be separated and used as bait to ensure the safe evacuation of important people in the clan.

As for Bai Nan, I am afraid that he is taking the safest path, and countless tribesmen will act as bait to ensure his safe evacuation.

"This kind of thing, what a joke..."

Bai Nan closed his eyes and felt weak. He was not a noble person, but he was not despicable enough to accept the death of others to extend his own life with peace of mind.

Qing Shui Zhengming resigned and left. No matter what Bai Nan thought, as the person who protected Bai Nan's evacuation, he must resolutely carry out this plan.

Feeling uneasy?Then it will be difficult!This era is like this. Survival is the most important thing. Uncle Qianzuo said that you are the future of the family. I believe it. Therefore, your life no longer belongs to you. No matter what, you have to survive.

Taking one last look at Bai Nan, Qingshui Masaaki disappeared from the spot.

After a long time, Bai Nan opened his eyes again and stared at the map on the table. He still had a feeling that he had missed something.

Find it out, you must find it out.

This answer may save many tribesmen!

......

She has black hair that reaches her waist, a conspicuous scar at the corner of her mouth, and a delicate face that makes her even more cute. 12-year-old Shimizu Masako was told by her father today that she will go to The fourth son of the clan leader who protects the family.

This is not surprising. The 12-year-old Shimizu Masako has been on the battlefield many times. The task of protecting a person is normal. However, this time, her father asked her to take her sister with him. This move made Shimizu Masako I felt a little uneasy in my heart. This was not like an escort mission, but more like an escape.

"Father, do I really need to take my sister with me? Did something happen? I am also very strong. Father, I can fight, I will not run away!"

The burly man who was blind in one eye was quite impatient this time, and even said things that he would never mention in the past.

"Go if I tell you to, Masako, you didn't even listen to your father's words, did you? What, are you planning to blind your father's other eye this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Shimizu Masako's cute little face turned extremely pale in an instant, and she bit her lip.

"Father, I...I...I'm sorry..."

A trace of unbearability also flashed in the man's eyes. He originally planned not to talk about this matter for the rest of his life. He knew how much this matter would affect his daughter, but this time it was different. He had no choice. His daughter had already become suspicious. .

He knows that his daughter is extremely talented and not weak even in the entire clan. She attaches great importance to her family and is not afraid of danger. However, my child, this time is different. These advantages of yours should not be used at this moment. , you deserve to live, so I stayed.

"If you still think I'm your father, then get out. Do whatever I ask you to do. Don't make trouble for me. Get out."

He wanted to be as gentle as possible in this last moment, but in the end, he found that his tone became more severe and irritable. He was destroying his own image. He hoped that he would become an irritable and vulgar father, so that , his daughter will not miss him, will not look back, and will be able to... live.

The uneasiness in Qingmizu Masako's heart became more and more intense. The alarm bells were ringing. Something must have happened!

She was convinced, but looking at her father, who used to be gentle in the past, now looked irritable, what else could she say?

"Okay, father."

Her lips were bitten and stained with a faint blood color. She took her sister's hand and walked towards the patriarch's house, tracing the path in her memory.

......

Shimizu Masaaki brought two people to Bai Nan's room from outside. Bai Nan didn't pay attention. He took a quick look and continued to focus on the map on the table.

"Hello, my name is Shimizu Masako."

"okay."

"The person next to me is my sister, her name is Shimizu Yako."

"okay."

Masako Qingmizu was a little angry at Bai Nan's perfunctory answer. She now understood that something big must have happened, so the family was preparing to arrange for the younger members of the clan to evacuate. However, the young master in front of her looked indifferent to the clan members and stared at them. I kept looking at the map, wondering which way would be better to evacuate?Are you so indifferent to the sacrifices of your tribe? !

However, when she thought of her father's last appearance, Masako Shimizu felt powerless. Perhaps it was right to ignore human life and evacuate.

Perhaps, many tribesmen will disappear soon, but they can survive on the corpses of their tribesmen, right?

As long as you're alive, that's right, right?

Masako Shimizu only felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe, right?She didn't know how many times she wanted to escape from here and return to that familiar home. No matter what, we would live and die together, but her father's violent face kept appearing in her mind, making her unable to even take a step forward. .

There was a look of confusion in her eyes, with a few strands of suppressed madness in their depths.

Right......

Yes......

"Snapped!"

Bai Nan slammed the table, his face full of joy.

"wrong!"

He figured it out, there was no need to evacuate, no need to evacuate at all!He pointed to a small point on the map to the north of the Qingshui clan and spoke to Masako Qingshui beside him.

"Go and call Elder Masaaki for me, and tell him that our northern ninja family, the Rokujo family, will come over!"

Masako Shimizu stood there in a daze, the scarlet color in the corners of her eyes disappeared. Bai Nan's "no" seemed to be answering her inner question, which made her feel at a loss for a moment. When she realized what she was doing, she subconsciously wanted to ask. "Why", but looking at Bai Nan's anxious look, she pursed her lips, said nothing, and disappeared immediately.

Instantaneous.

After a while, Qing Shui Zhengming came to Bai Nan's room and spoke with a serious face.

"Young Master, do you have anything to tell me about the Rokujo family?"

Bai Nan took a deep breath and began to speak. He knew that he no longer had to bear the death of his clan members to live.

"Elder Zhengming, let's make it clear first, the Qingshui people on the front line can't possibly trap us, right?"

"Of course it's impossible."

"Then the second point, the letter sent from the front line was not forged by others, right?"

"Every letter will be verified by multiple parties. Forgery of letters is normal in war. We have our own methods to deal with it. I can tell you that the letter was not a forgery."

"In this case, the Qingshui tribe people on the front line will not trap us, and there is no problem with the letter, so what? In fact, we Qingshui tribe people discovered the situation of the Xizhu tribe's few people at the first time, and then sent us a letter Letter, but due to the ever-changing nature of war, our people are not sure whether they discovered it right away."

Qingshui Masaaki pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"Young Master, what you said is possible, but there is a fatal problem. If we, the Qingshui tribe, discovered the situation of the young people of the Xizhu family at the first time, how could the ninjas of the Xizhu family be at this point? Coming in front of us? It is impossible for a 40-man troop to break through our front line and come over. They can only choose to come in a big circle. This will take at least a month. In other words, if we, the Qingshui clan, are the first If you find that the Xizhu family is short of people, it will take at least a month for the 40-man troops of the Xizhu family to arrive here."

Bai Nan nodded and spoke with a smile.

"Indeed, this is the biggest confusion, but, Uncle Zhengming, what if the Nishizhu family actually sent only two or three people here?"

Shimizu Masaaki was shocked. This seemingly absurd question made him realize something instantly.

"If there are only two or three people, it is indeed possible to escape our frontline detection and go straight to our clan's territory."

Ninjas have high mobility and concealment. If there are too many people, they will not be able to escape detection, but if there are few people, there is always a chance to escape detection and rush to the Qingshui Tribe.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if two or three ninjas dare to attack the Qingshui Tribe, they are simply seeking death.

so......

Bai Nan placed his hand on the map where the Qingshui clan was, and then slowly slid towards the Rokujo clan in the north.

"The two or three ninjas from the Nishiki family knew that it was useless for them to come to the rear, but they had a plan, so they went to the Rokujo family with some promises or treasures, borrowed dozens of ninjas, and transformed into The appearance of the Xizhu family, so we will find that when we received the warning that there were few people on the front line, the other party had a 40-man troop placed at the door of our house. In fact, they did not have that many Xizhu people at all. , It’s just the fox pretending to be the tiger’s power!

The Rokujo family has no grudges against us, Qingshui. They also have their own enemies. They will never provoke us unless they have no choice. So I dare to comment here. The Rokujo family only agreed to the Nishizhu family's plan of pretending to be a tiger, but they will never do it. Take the initiative to attack us!Uncle Zhengming, let me ask you, after you went to investigate and were discovered, were there only two or three ninjas who attacked you? "

Shimizu Masaaki looked at Bai Nan who was talking eloquently, and felt that the place was extremely silent, and his ears were filled with the sound of his own heart beating.

"Yes......"

There were indeed only three people who attacked Shimizu Masaaki at the beginning, and their strength was not weak. Shimizu Masaaki was so frightened that he quickly ran away. At first, he thought that the others could not catch up with him, so he could not take action. Now that he thinks about it, those people may not be able to take action at all. Not planning to take action.

Bai Nan continued to click on the map on the desktop.

"The Nishizhu family did this to scare our clan into chaos and make us anxious on the front line. Just imagine if you realize that your home is about to be ransacked in the rear, and at the same time, you learn that there are forty ninjas missing on the opposite side. These two Under the circumstances, the ninjas on the front line of the Qingshui clan will inevitably start to advance aggressively, hoping to quickly break through the Nishiki family, which is weak at the moment, and then return to support the rear.

But in fact, the Xizhu family did not lack 40 people at all, but only two or three people were missing, which had little impact on the battle situation. The real 40 people were still hidden somewhere on the battlefield!In this case, if we, the Qingshui clan, rush in, the forty ninjas hidden by the Xizhu family on the battlefield will be a sharp blade that can kill us, the Qingshui clan! "

Silence!

Masako Qingmizu didn't know the reason, but at this moment, she understood the Nishizhu family's plan. She just felt that she had walked through the abyss again, only one step away from death without a burial place.

Qingshui Masaaki's breathing gradually became heavier, reasonable, everything was reasonable!

However, even so, he did not dare to make a decision easily. What if the 40 people opposite were not ninjas from the Rokujo family, but ninjas from the Nishizhu family?

"Young Master, are you sure?"

Hearing these words, not to mention Bai Nan, even Shimizu Masako looked at the elder in confusion. He had already explained so clearly, how could he still be unsure?

Bai Nan was silent for a while and then understood. Masaaki Shimizu has always been an "executor" in the family, not a "decision-maker". He can help think of ways and help with things, but he has been the "executor" for many years. His identity has caused him to completely lose his courage as a "decision maker", and he cannot make decisions.

Therefore, the phrase "Are you sure?" does not mean that he is unsure, but that he is looking for a "decision-maker."

However, what status does Bai Nan have to decide such a family matter?He is neither the patriarch nor the young patriarch, he is just the son of the patriarch. He has some weight, but it is far from enough.

Masako Shimizu on the side opened her mouth. She also understood at this moment that there were only "executors" here and the most important "decision-maker" was missing. She wanted to take over, but she found that her identity was not qualified at all. Nan and Shimizu Masaaki were talking right in front of her, but she seemed to be at an extremely long distance, unable to make any difference.

Seeing that Bai Nan didn't respond for a moment, Shimizu Masaaki gritted his teeth. He also knew that Bai Nan's identity was somewhat insufficient. Forcing Bai Nan to make decisions would be harmful and unhelpful to Bai Nan. If there was no accident, it would be okay. If there was an accident, Bai Nanyue's behavior as a substitute may be enough to get him expelled from the family and left to fend for himself.

"Let's go find Uncle Qian Zuo..."

"No need."

However, before he finished speaking, Qingshui Masaaki met a pair of unusually calm eyes, like the sea, boundless, but also like mountains, unshakable.

"I am sure that my guess is correct. I will stop evacuating the tribe immediately, send people to inform the front line, and then send people to appease the tribe. These words are what I said. I will bear all the consequences. I will solve all the troubles. With Qingshui Bainan In the name of my country, I order you to implement my decision at this moment."

Qingshui Masaaki looked at those eyes, and in a daze, he seemed to see the appearance of Qingshui Yiyuan back then. This person... this young master...

No, how can this harmful and useless thing be allowed? !

"But, Young Master, you are not the Young Patriarch yet, you have no right..."

"My father and my eldest brother left me at the back of the clan, so I am the young clan leader! To put it bluntly, Uncle Zhengming, even if I go over my shoulder, I still have to decide on this matter today. We have no time to waste. I don’t know what Uncle Qian Zuo is busy with. How long will it take to find him? How much time do the clansmen on the front line have?

Maybe in the next moment, we will receive news that the front line suffered heavy casualties and suffered a huge defeat. By then, how many tribesmen will need to die for this?We really don’t have time, so, sorry, Uncle Zhengming, I say it one last time, in the name of Shimizu Bainan, I order you to implement my decision, immediately, immediately! "

Shimizu Masaaki looked at the eyes of the nine-year-old child in front of him and found that he could not refuse. He sighed, but then laughed again, smiling so wantonly, as if he had received a supreme treasure. He leaned down and respectfully Respectfully.

"Zhengming, obey!"
