Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

After avoiding Orochimaru, Dohei came to Nara Shikaku and asked.

"Shikaku, how about this loss?"

He actually didn't care about the casualties, he just gloated and wanted to have fun.

Of course, on the surface, he still looked worried for the village.

“It’s big…”

Nara Shikaku is really heartbroken.

Those who died were all the private army of the Hokage ninja clan! .

In other words, the ninjas like them are the ones paying for this loss, so how can we not feel heartbroken.

Heartbreaking!

This can only be used to describe it.

In order to support Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the second generation of shadows, to take over, the ninjas mobilized this time are all elites of various races, and the losses can be imagined.

If they can exchange for enough military exploits, they can endure the loss no matter how great it is.

The problem is that not only did the Suna Ninja army fail to be defeated this time, but they were defeated by the opponent, and even the leader, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, was captured.

He lost his wife and lost his troops.

After hearing about the loss, Tang Ping comforted him with a face filled with sadness (happiness) and sadness (happiness):

"It's okay, half of the people are still alive, right?"

And hearing his comfort, Nara Shikaku didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

In the end, I could only respond in silence.

The next step is naturally to escort this remnant army to retreat.

Tang Ping has great ideas about this group of ninjas.

Who doesn't want to have more power in his hands? Even if this power ultimately belongs to the village, he can still use it anyway.

Annexation... No, Tanghei is ready to let them continue to complete their mission.

Drive out the sand ninja!

But from now on, the Southwest Ninja Army will be the main force.

Anyway, this ninja army has no commander, and with heavy casualties, there is really no problem with this operation.

The most important thing is that the reason is very legitimate.

If the village doesn't add something, how can the Southwest Ninja Army, which only has a few hundred people, be able to stop it if it is attacked by thousands of Sand Ninja troops? .

Do you really think that if all the Southwest Ninja Army is ‘Ip Man’, they can fight ten of them? .

Yes, Tang Ping is ‘holding the sand with one’s own weight’.

This group of family ninjas are destined to be eaten!

As a smart man, Nara Shikaku naturally could see Dohei's plan, but he couldn't refuse.

So I just sent everything back to the village and followed orders myself.

Anyway, he will not do anything unnecessary unless given a clear order.

By the way, when Tang Ping was protecting the remnants of the army and returning to Mount Kikyo, an incident began to spread.

The entire clan of the Lord of Kamakura Castle in Saikuru Town was looted by the Sand Ninja. Not even a single mouse survived, let alone alive.

And all the family belongings disappeared.

This was the first nobleman to die at the hands of ninjas.

After the news spread, not only the nobles of the Fire Country were furious, but also the nobles of the Wind Country ordered the Sand Ninja to hand over the murderer.

Yes, you heard it right.

Even the Wind Country, a large country where Sunagakure Village is located, is forcing Sunagakure to make friends.

It’s not surprising that this happens.

Because this is what the nobles fear most.

The following is a crime!

If a ninja could offend a noble without paying the price, then the nobles would not even be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

The power of force is in the hands of ninjas.

The nobles can sit high and watch the ninjas fight, using war and blood to please themselves.

It was entirely because of the awe of ninjas and the nobles' strict guard against such incidents.

Once a ninja dares to do it!

Then all nobles will unite, no matter which country the nobles are in.

Now you know why only one noble died and all the nobles felt like they were stabbed in the chrysanthemum, right? .

Tanghei had also considered this before, so he just dealt with the housekeeper and left, and at the same time asked Hinata Cangyue to pretend to be a thief when he took action.

Apparently, she not only pretended to be a thief, but also left clues pointing to the Suna Ninja.

Well done!

Anyway, since the invasion, the sand ninjas have taken countless scapegoats, and now it doesn't matter if there is one more.

Even, under the pressure of many nobles, an 'investigation team' was formed, and two major ninja villages were responsible for cooperating.

There is no other way. The financial owner behind the Ninja Village has to respect what he says.

If you don't respect others, and they don't respect you when appropriating funds, you won't be able to cry at all.

Soon, the investigation team arrived at Platycodon Mountain.

I came to see the Honda Chamber of Commerce.

There have been conflicts between the two parties before, so it is not surprising to investigate.

However, the investigation team found that the ninjas they encountered looked at them a little strangely.

"What's going on?"

A guardian nin in the investigation team asked the Konoha ninja who was leading the way in a low voice.

The other party was a government ninja specially sent by Konoha to lead the way and cooperate with the investigation. The Suna ninja also sent one.

All I can say is that this is a weird thing.

The two great ninja villages were obviously working hard, but because of the death of a noble, they had to join forces to investigate the truth.

"nothing!"

The government ninja who led the way responded casually.

No one has a good impression of this investigation team formed by nobles.

If it weren't for funds, the village wouldn't bother each other at all, so you can imagine how sincere this cooperation is.

Southwest Ninja Army!

It has become a commonplace.

Although he usually doesn't care about things, based on his performance on the battlefield, as long as he doesn't rebel against the village, no one will dare to disobey his orders.

Knowing that the investigation team was here to investigate the matter in Saihe Town, their reaction was not surprising.

The other party had offended their own commander, and now that he was dead, it would be strange if they had a good face if someone came to find out the truth.

"Hey, aren't we here to find the Honda Chamber of Commerce? Where is this place...?"

The minister of the investigation team, wearing a gorgeous robe, looked at the building with the commander's emblem in front of him and asked in confusion.

"The other party is in Lord Dohei's office. If you have any questions, you can ask here!"

The government ninja showed his identity card to the two guards and made a gesture of invitation.

The minister of investigation stepped into the temporary office.

But the people who followed behind, except for the government ninja from Sand Ninja, were stopped by the two guards.

"You..."

A guardian ninja was about to say something, but was held down by the leading guardian ninja, indicating that the other party should not be impulsive.

Ninja village and guardian ninja are completely two groups.

Guardian ninja!

It is a ninja military organization established specifically to protect the daimyo, while the ninja village is paid to do things, at most bound to the country where the village is located, and has a trading relationship with the nobles.

The ninja village regarded the guardian ninja as a hound raised by the nobles, and felt that the other party had no dignity of a ninja.

The guardian ninja regarded the ninja as a parasite and an ungrateful wolves, who took the national funds but were not loyal to the daimyo.

The two sides had conflicting positions and wanted to draw their swords to chop each other.

Now you know why the guards have such a bad attitude towards these guardian ninjas? .

The secret fight outside naturally did not affect the commander's office.

The small office was very spacious.

In addition to the map and sand table on the wall, there were only two desks, one large and one small, and nothing else.

At this time, there were people sitting behind the two desks, and a middle-aged man was standing.

When the three members of the investigation team came in, several people looked over.

"Lord Dohei, this is Minister Qingyan who is responsible for investigating the Saikaku Town incident. He wants to ask President Honda Katsu some questions!"

The government ninja explained the purpose of this visit.

Since they had communicated in advance, there was no need to worry that Dohei was not clear about the incident.

"Really? Ask here directly!"

Dohei, who was sitting in the main seat, gestured to the other party to ask.

He naturally knew about this, so he asked Honda Masaru to stay in Kikyo Mountain these days, just to help him deal with the investigation team.

He was afraid that the other party would not be able to find the truth and directly put the blame on Honda Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of thing is not without precedent.

And with me here, it is impossible to play like this.

"This..."

Minister Qingyan looked embarrassed.

Because in such a place, a lot of methods cannot be used.

"Why, what's the difficulty, or are you worried that I will favor Honda Chamber of Commerce?"

Doping asked with "dissatisfaction".

Is this giving me a chance to vent my anger? .

He is at least a Kage-level strongman and the chief general of the ninja army. If he really finds a chance to vent his anger, no one will be ignorant enough to jump out and plead for him.

Having strength means you can do whatever you want.
