Chapter 55: Boring Political Fight
Cleaning up the underground black market of the Land of Fire still needed time to ferment.
After resolving the first wave of people following them, Yuki continued on his way with Ritsuko.
In the following days, although there were warnings from the past, there were still people who had been captured by the interest who continuously surged towards Yuki.
However, before they could even meet the latter, they were secretly swept away by the Shadow Guards.
Two special Jonins, apart from the four great countries and a very small amount of power, few organizations could break through.
On the first day, they finished their fights.
After enjoying the night at Konoha village, Yuki, Ritsuko, and the Shadow Guards continued on their way in the morning of the next day.
Unlike yesterday, today, there were fewer people who overestimate their abilities.
After walking for a few hours, there were no accidents along the way.
In this regard, the security of the Shadow Guards around Yuki did not drop but rose instead.
Because they all knew that this should be the calm before the storm.
After the people who made up the numbers were eliminated in the First Heaven Capital, what was left was the real danger.
....
At this moment.
A group of uninvited guests gathered in a narrow mountain valley about five kilometers away from Yuki.
There were roughly thirty-three people.
Most of them were ninjas with cloud Ninja foreheads, and there were eleven people.
The second was the ninjas with the forehead guard, a total of six people.
As for the remaining people, perhaps there were powerful bounty hunters, or perhaps they were simply people sent by other Ninja villages. However, unlike water, the two great powers of the Land of Thunder and Fire were still in a state of war, so they could recklessly expose their identities.
However, there was nothing on them that could reveal their identities.
No matter what, for these people to be gathered here, their strength was much stronger than yesterday's cannon fodder.
The leader of the Cloud Ninjas named Shinobi Gashira, after observing all the people on the same side, a hint of joy flashed in his heart.
In this operation, the eleven Cloud Ninjas he led were all Jonins, and the Mist Ninjas beside him were the same. In addition, these people who did not seem to be below them meant that thirty-three superior Ninja experts were gathered here.
With such strength, destroying a small Ninja Village was easy.
The success rate was very high, even if it was to kill a Shadow Rank expert.
When he accepted this mission, his original goal was just to test the 4th Hokage. He only needed to collect his blood from evacuating if he couldn't do it. He didn't have to kill Fire-Shadow.
But now, the latter was not impossible!
Even if he had the same blood limit, it didn't mean that the 4th Hokage was Hashirama Senju.
After decades of fighting, the latter had also won the title of Ninja God.
He did not believe that the young 4th Hokage had such strength.
Therefore, if they attacked together, the probability of killing the Hokage was very high.
In this way, Konoha would be a group of dragons without a leader, and the Hidden Cloud Village would gain more benefits in this war.
Thinking of this, his heart was full of fire, and his eyes could not help but turn to a man wearing a cold mask in the crowd.
This person's arrival allowed the Cloud Ninjas, the Mist Ninjas, and the other seven and eight other forces to gather together and, without letting out any news, lay in ambush on the path of the 4th Hokage.
Although this person's contribution was great, he still despised him.
To be able to find them in the Land of Fire and bring them here without a sound, it was obvious that their influence was deeply rooted in the Land of Fire, and they were inextricably linked to the Konoha Village. It was very likely that they were one of Konoha's upper echelons.
It was a boring political struggle!
Although his body was full of muscles, his brain was very intelligent, so he naturally knew that someone in Konoha wanted to use them to get rid of the 4th Hokage.
It was no wonder that the Land of Fire, as the largest country in the Ninja Realm, had always performed poorly in the war.
There were so many people with strange thoughts inside, and how could the people who were dragging him down use 100 of their strength to fight against the enemy?
Unlike their Hidden Cloud Village, whose roots did not have so many bent intestines, they had condensed a fist to attack from beginning to end.
This was also the reason why their Hidden Cloud Village had always been able to obtain rewards after so many Ninja World wars.
Traitors were always disgusting, no matter where they were.
Although he did not feel ashamed of this person, he knew that the most important task was still to ask him, "As far as I know, there is a White-eyed Ninja among the Shadow Guards around the Hokage. If they had discovered our existence earlier, would the Hokage and his people have retreated?"
After all, they were the only force that could have a strong source of information in the Land of Fire and had conflicts with Yuki Senju, and dared to act recklessly.
Although they had also sent an assassination team under Lord Danzo's request, after discovering the other forces, they deliberately combined them to reach the biggest threat to Yuki.
At this moment, the person at the Root indifferently replied, "Don't worry, we have already set up a seal enchantment here. If we don't leave the valley, we won't be able to detect it."
"A sealing barrier!" Shinobi Gashira sighed in relief after hearing this.
Konoha, which had inherited the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique, was very desirable by the other four great powers.
Especially the Cloud Ninjas, who were used to stealing all kinds of secret techniques in the Ninja Realm, was even more envious.
In the past, when the Kingdom of Uzumaki was destroyed, they also contributed a lot. Although they had also obtained a lot of seals, the essence had been destroyed by the former, so they were still far inferior to Konoha.
The seals and the eyes of Konoha, the Sharingan, and the Wood Style all made the bandits drool.
This also made Shinobi Gashira even more determined to kill the Fourth Hokage at this time.
The possibility they had longed for came true only when Konoha was in chaos.
However, not everyone was interested in this.
Just like the one in front of the Mist Ninja, he impatiently said, "Why are you making it so troublesome? If you want me to say that we should directly rush out and fight head-on, I think the dignified Hokage would not run away without fighting!"
Do you think everyone is as brainless as you? Facing more than 30 superior Ninja enemies, even the Shadow would temporarily avoid them! Shinobi complained in his heart as he looked at the person who spoke.
Soon, his eyes showed understanding.
No wonder he spoke without thinking.
The person who spoke had a head of white hair and two red dots between his eyebrows. Shinobi, who had fought with Mist Ninja before, quickly recognized that this person was from the Kaguya Clan.
The Kaguya Clan with bone veins has a combative personality, is full of muscles, and is more reckless than their cloud ninjas, so it is normal to say these words.
The people from Root ignored him.
Shinobi was clear about his personality and was too lazy to say more.
In addition, he also found that the Mist Ninjas seemed to be from the Blood Limit Family.
Kaguya, Minazuki, and so on, because he did not cover his face, he could recognize these people who had made a lot of noise in the previous war.
He recently heard that the higher-ups of the Mist had a deep conflict with the Blood Limit Family. This time, the people of the Water Shadow Sect were all Blood Limit Ninjas. There were only so few people. Did they have the idea of borrowing a knife to kill?
Shinobi shook his head speechlessly.
It was another boring political struggle.
Apart from them, most of the other forces wanted to use the matter of the 4th Hokage to achieve their own goals. Instead, they put the real assassination to the side.
However, they were pleasantly surprised now that they had Root as a link.
Looking in the direction where the 4th Hokage was coming from, Shinobi clenched his huge fist, his eyes full of expectation.
