"Thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, I might have died here this time." Kiyosu Kasugayama bowed with both hands to thank Senju Kagawa and others.

Senju Kagawa put away his sword, said nothing, and just stood beside Senju Tobirama.

"Lord Kasugayama, you are too kind. This is what I, a Senju ninja, should do." Senju Tobirama said with a smile.

"Sir, are you okay?!"

At this time, Kiyosu Sosuke hurriedly came with the samurai outside the door.

Kiyosu Sosuke hurried to Kiyosu Kasugayama's side and observed him carefully. He found that Kiyosu Kasugayama's clothes were just a little messy, but he was well protected and had not suffered any substantial harm. Kiyosu Sosuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sir, I am late. I am negligent in my duty..."

The late-coming warriors all performed a standard kneeling ceremony and apologized to Kiyosu Kasugayama.

Kiyosu Kasugayama had now straightened his composure. He no longer looked as flustered as before, but had regained the composure of a ruler of a country.

Kiyosu Kasugayama did not blame the samurai. He smiled calmly and said:

"None of you expected what happened today. I don't blame you."

"Ah - no one expected that the Uchiha ninja would come so early. If the Senju ninjas had not arrived early, the consequences would have been unpredictable." Kiyosu Sosuke had lost his smile at this moment. With a serious expression, he analyzed the matter and thanked Senju Kagawa and others.

After hearing Kiyosu Sosuke conclude that the person on the other side was an Uchiha ninja, Senju Kagamikawa couldn't help but turn his head and look at Senju Tobirama with some questioning look in his eyes.

Senju Tobirama didn't say anything, but just looked at Senju Kagawa.

Senju Kagamikawa:?

Senju Tobirama:? ? ?

Kiyosu Kasugayama then calmly arranged some matters before letting Senju Kagawa and the others return to their rooms to rest.

However, after experiencing what happened tonight, the few people didn't have the heart to continue sleeping.

"Brother Tobirama, are those people Uchiha?" Senju Kagamikawa asked Senju Tobirama.

He didn't arrive early, so he couldn't see the appearance of the masked men clearly. He just felt that it was a bit imprecise to conclude that the people in front of him were Uchiha ninjas based solely on a fire escape technique.

"Yes, Tobirama-kun, you are more familiar with Uchiha ninjas. We arrived late, and the place was blocked by heavy fog and we couldn't see anything clearly..." Senju Momoka frowned, also confused about this matter.

Senju Tobirama touched his chin and thought carefully about what happened at that time.

At that time, Tobirama Senju was already preparing to go to bed, but he suddenly sensed an unknown chakra, so he immediately got out of bed to investigate.

The light was still on in Kiyosu Kasugayama's room at that time. He noticed that the trace of the chakra was heading towards Kiyosu Kasugayama's room. Therefore, Senju Tobirama did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately broke the window and went to Kiyosu Kasugayama's room.

Before the ninja took action, Tobirama Senju was the first to reach Kiyosu Kasugayama and exchanged a few moves with the ninja.

The ninja's eyes widened the moment he saw Senju Tobirama, and his moves froze for a moment. At the same time, the ninjas who had been lying in ambush immediately appeared when they saw that the situation was not right, and they besieged Senju Tobirama together.

But those people seemed to be hesitant about something and never used any ninjutsu - until Senju Kagawa and his men arrived.

"Looking back, those people have always avoided using ninjutsu. Although they all have black hair and black eyes, and their physical skills have some shadows of the Uchiha style, I haven't seen them use the Sharingan. Just based on Fire Style... it seems that there is no way to determine that they are Uchiha..." After thinking carefully, Senju Tobirama came to this conclusion.

Senju Jingchuan nodded and asked:

"So, why is the Daimyo so sure that it must be an Uchiha ninja?"

"Today's attack was quite a coincidence. It happened to be the night we arrived..." Senju Chenghe also raised his questions at the right time.

"If what Lord Kasugayama said is true, there have been frequent ninja attacks during this period, the samurai in the castle tower should not be so lax..." Senju Qiantang felt that this was very inconsistent. If the assassins were "coming in an endless stream", then everyone in the daimyo's mansion, from the daimyo to the samurai, should be extremely nervous about this.

But tonight, the samurai arrived late, and the daimyo let the matter go. This matter was full of doubts.

Even if the explanation was that it was because Senju Kagawa and others had already arrived, and the daimyo believed that Senju Kagawa and others could guarantee his own safety, it would be absolutely impossible for him not to arrange for samurai to patrol the castle tower at all, right?

Besides, Kiyosu Kasugayama's attitude was too wrong.

In any case, Kiyosu Kasugayama is a daimyo of a country, and he definitely cannot be as gentle as he appears to be. How come during this time together, he seems to have no temper at all?

Senju Kagamikawa's thoughts once again touched upon the box placed in his room.

Qianshou Jingchuan now feels a headache when he thinks of the jade seal inside.

What exactly does Kiyosu Kasugayama mean? Even if he wanted to test him, he shouldn't have given him a jade seal for no reason...

Although Senju Tobirama also felt that this matter was weird at every turn, he didn't know what Kiyosu Kasugayama meant - was all this tonight directed and acted out by Kiyosu Kasugayama alone?

Although several Senju currently feel that this play seems to be directed and performed by Kiyosu Kasugayama himself.

"It's really strange. When those ninjas saw us coming, they immediately released Fire Style... but when they saw that we could easily break their moves, they retreated without hesitation, as if they came out to assassinate us just to let us see their Fire Style." Senju Qiantang added.

"Yeah, that's weird. Ninjas should always put their mission first no matter where and when. Since their mission is to assassinate the daimyo, they should never give up like this. Even if they fight to the last moment and are completely wiped out, they should not retreat unscathed like this." Senju Aoyama expressed his opinion on the matter in a serious tone.

When Senju Jingchuan heard this, he raised his head and looked at Senju Qingshan with a frown.

Even though this matter was full of weirdness, Senju Kagamikawa still didn't want to hear Senju Aoyama's "Ninja Tool Theory" that made him uncomfortable in every aspect.

In short, in the end, this discussion came to nothing, and nothing was discussed. Qianshou Jingchuan and the others returned to their rooms, preparing to rest first, so as to prepare for the crisis that might come tomorrow.

After Senju Jingchuan returned to the room, he casually lit a candle and poured a glass of water. He wanted to go to sleep after drinking it, but his eyes fell on the box facing him.

Under the dim light, Senju Jingchuan happened to observe the box.

Wait a moment--

Something is wrong!

Senju Jingchuan quickly walked to the box.

Although the box looked no different from before, Senju Jingchuan remembered that the corner of the box was not facing him before he left - he accidentally knocked the corner of the box when he put it down, so there should be a small scratch on the corner facing him.

Senshou Jingchuan opened the lid, and sure enough, the direction of the jade seal inside had also changed - the angle was wrong - although the change was very subtle.

Eh?

Senju Kagawa blinked in confusion.

When did his eyesight become so good? He could find something wrong with the box even in such a dim environment...
