I am the strongest Hokage of all time

Shigeru, Dango and Kagami join the fight.

Several people didn't even have time to put on their armor.

Just wear ordinary clothes, pick up a weapon and go on.

The guarding ninjas around Hiruzen were gradually losing their strength.

During the battle, he suddenly fell to the ground and said: "The knife... is poisonous..."

Hiruzen instantly became alert.

Push back the enemy in front of you with one strike.

Throw the fallen guard ninja away from the battlefield.

With the addition of the five Hiruzen, the situation reached a stalemate.

The armored ninjas, who were originally stronger than the guard ninjas in terms of overall strength, fell into a numerical disadvantage.

And there are also two jounin among the guard ninjas.

Plus the combat power of the three Jonin levels, Kiyoshi, Shigeru, and Hiruzen.

As well as Dango and Kagami who can compete with Jonin together.

In fact, the current armored ninjas have tended to be at a comprehensive disadvantage.

Chakra erupted from the tall armored ninja sword.

In an attempt to suppress Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi's dagger instantly exploded with chakra.

Two ninja swords of different lengths collided together.

However, Kiyoshi's sword skills are extremely flexible.

After being difficult to win head-on.

Immediately turn the knife to attack the tall ninja.

The ninja ducked backwards.

I saw almost physical chakra bursting out from the short sword.

The short sword seemed to be extended, leaving a long and narrow bloody opening on the chest of the tall ninja.

The armor's defense was ineffective as it was penetrated by chakra.

At the same time, Hiruzen also had the upper hand in the battle with the opposing ninja.

Hit it with a stick and knock back the ninja on the other side several meters.

The huge force penetrated the armor and impacted the ninja's internal organs.

The ninja wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Place the knife on the ground and form a seal with your hands.

Water escape? Water dragon bullet technique!

A huge water dragon appeared out of thin air behind the armored ninja and swung its body towards Hiruzen.

Hiruzen immediately stepped back, stuck the iron rod on the ground behind him, and formed a seal with his hands.

Earth escape? Earth flow wall!

The water dragon hit the wall of the earth flow and actually destroyed the wall of the earth flow.

But then it lost its strength and dissipated.

The armored ninja pulled out his sword and rushed over through the water.

One step across the remaining earth flow wall.

Approaching Hiruzen again.

However, two shadow clones suddenly emerged from the ground.

The armored ninja instantly killed one of them with a swing of his sword.

However, another shadow clone has already used ninjutsu.

Water Prison Technique!

The armored ninja is trapped in a water ball-shaped cage.

It was difficult to escape for a while.

At this time, another armored ninja was punched away by Senju Shigeru.

He hit the courtyard wall and vomited blood, his armor shattered.

Shigeru inherited his father Hashirama's strange powers.

His fists are not something that ordinary ninjas can withstand.

The leader of the tall ninja saw this.

Regardless of the injuries in front of him, he forced Qingzhi back.

He teleported to Hiruzen's shadow clone.

Split the shadow clone with one strike.

Then the trapped ninja was rescued.

He shouted: "Retreat!"

An armored ninja picked up the one who fell next to the wall.

Be the first to escape from the princess mansion.

The remaining people gathered around the tall man.

Rush towards the courtyard wall.

Hiruzen and others tried to stop him.

However, they are very fast.

Rushed out of the princess mansion before Hiruzen and the others stopped him.

Hiruzen and others did not stop him.

Their mission is to protect the princess, there is no need to kill all these people.

In case these people are just bait, the purpose is to lure Hiruzen and the others away.

That's trouble.

Hiruzen and others allowed the armored ninja to escape.

The two guarding ninjas carried the dead ninja and the poisoned ninja on their backs.

Another guarding ninja said to Hiruzen and the others: "Please protect the princess tonight if she is safe."

"We need to send a few people to deal with the aftermath."

"Tonight, Your Highness, Princess, I and you will be guarding her together."

Only two of the guarding ninjas remained.

So Hiruzen and others decided to join the vacant guard ninja after discussion.

At this time, Biwako came in a hurry, wearing a nightgown and surrounded by maids.

A guarding ninja stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the assassin has escaped. I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Lake Biwa looked at the guarding ninja in front of him, a little confused: "Who are you?"

The guard ninja explained: "We are the shadows trained by His Highness the Prince and are responsible for protecting the safety of His Highness the Princess."

"The prince told me not to appear in front of the princess unless absolutely necessary, so the princess doesn't know we exist."

Biwako murmured: "Father...trained the Shadows."

Biwako said again: "What are your casualties?"

"One dead and one wounded."

The shadow man replied.

Lake Biwa looked grave and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The pension will be distributed to the families of the injured and injured ninjas."

"We don't have family."

The Shadows are the dead warriors trained privately by the prince.

They are all selected and trained from orphans.

Lake Biwa didn't know what to say.

"Safeguarding the princess with our lives is our way of repaying His Highness the Prince's kindness."

"Your Royal Highness, we are responsible for the aftermath of the incident in the mansion."

"You go and have a rest."

Lake Biwa said: "You go and do your work first, I will have some words with the ninjas of Konoha."

Then Biwako came to Hiruzen and the others and asked, "Are you all okay?"

Kiyoshi said: "We were not injured, we just consumed some chakra."

"Your Highness, today's assassin came out of nowhere. Today, a few of us and the Shadows are responsible for protecting the princess's safety."

Biwako said: "Let's do this. You rest in the main hall of my palace, and I will ask the maid to make the bed."

"I'll just excuse you for one night."

Hiruzen and others said it was no problem.

I usually sleep in trees when performing tasks in the field.

It would be nice to have a bed to sleep on now.

So everyone went to rest.

The rest of the night passed peacefully.

No other assassins came.

At this time outside the city.

Several armored ninjas hurriedly escaped from Kitami Castle.

"Damn it! Don't those ninjas in the princess's palace even sleep? They discovered us so quickly?"

The tall ninja cursed.

Another ninja asked: "Are we still going to attack?"

The tall ninja said: "Waiting for the opportunity, they will definitely not be able to tell that we are ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village."

"As long as we don't fall into their hands, I remember that the Yamanaka clan in Konoha can probe people's memories."

"But if they go deep into the heart of the Fire Country and we still can't find a chance, we will retreat."

"We just want to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, not to provoke a war between two countries."

"At least, not now."

At this time, inside the princess's mansion.

Hiruzen asked Kiyoshi, "Kyoshi, where do you think those ninjas come from?"

"The armor is unified and the actions are strict. He must be from a certain ninja village in the five major countries."

"Kirigakure is good at using swords and water escape, and Sunagakure is good at using poison."

"So it must not be the ninjas of these two ninja villages, otherwise it would be too obvious."

"Iwagakure Village and Kitami Castle are far apart."

"So there's only one possibility."

"Yunyin."
