Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 239 Taki City

Roll your eyes!
Looking at the pure white pupils of the man on the top of the wall, Yukimura's heart skipped a beat.

Does the so-called special hunting dog actually refer to the Hyuga clan?The Hyuga clan has become the minions of the empire!
This is really surprising. Yukimura actually thought of it. Since the status of ninjas is so bad, some ninjas who joined the empire in order to gain a higher status or survive may have families they are familiar with, but they He didn't expect that the first special ninja belonging to the empire he saw would be a member of the Hyuga clan.

You know, the strength of the Hyuga clan is not weak. Hyuga’s white eyes are different from Uchiha’s Sharingan. It’s not that difficult to open eyes. It’s the type that everyone can open eyes. In terms of high-level combat power, they only look at the lower-level foundation, and even the Uchiha clan is not the opponent of the Hyuga clan.

Moreover, if you think about it deeply, since Lian Ri Xiang's family has joined the empire, what about the other families in Konoha Village?
What about pig deer butterfly?What about Uchiha?What about Azukazuka and Sarutobi?
Next, will you meet enemies from these families?

Yukimura could almost foresee that he would meet more ninjas who originally belonged to Konoha Village but are now serving the empire.

Or it is more likely that some of them became the pursuers of the empire, and the other became the exiles who were hunted down.

Are the former companions now facing each other with swords?

In this short moment, Yukimura thought of many things. He concealed the shock in his heart, mixed with Taro and slowly passed the inspection at the gate of the city and entered the city.

"Is that person upstairs just now the kind of hound you were talking about?"

After successfully entering the city, he looked around and found that no one was paying attention, then he took Taro, who was still trembling, to a slightly secluded place, and asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

Taro nodded stiffly. He was still a little nervous until now, his body was stiff, and it seemed that he hadn't calmed down yet.

"It's them."

His body trembled, and he replied in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"They were the ones who hunted us down before, and sister Qin was also taken away by them."

"I see."

Yukimura Ming realized, no wonder Qin would choose to hold the enemy by herself and let Taro run first. If she is stared at with supercilious eyes, unless the difference in strength is obvious, otherwise she will not pay some price. If she wants to run, she may not be able to escape.

Although the combat power is not very strong, but for tracking and reconnaissance, the insight of the white eyes of the Hyuga clan is far stronger than that of the sharingan.

In this way, the kind of hunting dogs that Akiko mentioned that needs attention refers to the fact that the former Hyuga clan did not run away.

This also makes sense, why is it necessary to seal the chakra before entering the city? It is because the white eyes of the Hyuga clan can see through the human body. Although everyone in this world has chakra, the chakra of ninjas and the chakra of ordinary people are It's different, whether it's strength or measurement, the former is much stronger than the latter, so if you don't hide it, you only need to glance at it, and it's clear at a glance which ones are ninjas and which ones are ordinary people.

Therefore, are the spells that Akiko specially took out are used to blind the supercilious scan?
Yukimura glanced vigilantly at the pedestrians and various buildings beside him from the corner of his eye, thinking to himself

"It scared me to death just now."

Talking like this, the two walked slowly to a place far away from the city gate. Without the guards, Akiko and Yudou slowly approached, also looking like they had narrowly escaped death.

"Sure enough, there are hunting dogs like that in the Nine Giants City."

Akiko patted her chest lightly, with an expression as I expected. Since there are hunting dogs here, it means that her inference is likely to be true, and sister Qin was also brought here.

"Then, let's go find Sister Qin."

You Dou immediately said that although he came in without any danger, he still felt terrified in the hinterland of the empire, as if a hound would jump out at any moment, so now he just wanted to save people quickly, and after saving people leave now.

"Well, but then we don't want to separate."

Akiko looked around at the streets with people coming and going and the intersection with nine twists and turns, and said worriedly.

Compared with other cities, Taki City is really too big, with a population of millions, and an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. Although this makes it easier for them to sneak in, as long as they don't do anything special, Then basically no one will pay special attention to them.

But, in the same way, with such a large area, the four of them entering here are like a few drops of water falling into the sea. Once they are separated, it is difficult to get together again.

Therefore, they must act collectively.

Taki Castle is indeed quite big, and it took more than 20 minutes to reach the real inner city just from the gate of the city. Moreover, the scenery in the city also made Yukimura feel bright.

This is completely different from what I imagined.

Before going to Taki City, Yukimura originally thought that the empire's methods of treating ninjas were so cruel, that it should be a cold-blooded country that practiced iron-blooded violence, and that the Nine Giants City was like a prison or a concentration camp, and the citizens should They are all under high pressure, living passively under high pressure like a flock driven by a shepherd.

However, the scene in front of him was somewhat different from what he had imagined, or in other words, at that moment, he even thought that he had returned to his previous life.

Huge buildings, wide roads, busy streets, bustling crowds, rows of shops on both sides, some selling clothes, some selling food, some selling cosmetics, some selling toys, the streets are small The alley is full of neon lights, singing and dancing, and the air is full of avant-garde fashion, which makes Yukimura feel nostalgic.

He hadn't seen such a lively appearance for a long time.

Surrounded by noisy crowds, the air is filled with the smell of various delicacies. Tens of meters above the head, rail transits pass by in suspension. Everything in front of him tells Yukimura that the facts are different from what he imagined.

"This...this is..."

He froze in place and couldn't help being stunned.

What kind of prison-like city is this under high pressure? It looks like an international metropolis.

"Wow!"

Not only him, but even Taro and others next to him were stunned. It was the first time in their life that they had entered the big city of the empire, so they couldn't believe their eyes.

Dancing pavilions, feasting, busy traffic, brilliant lights echoing the soft night, dazzling neon lights, trance lights, both illusion and reality, all these have never been experienced by them who have spent their lives on the run since childhood.

They are like countrymen who suddenly entered a big city, dazzled by everything in front of them, watching these noisy scenes, joyful atmosphere, and a series of novelty things that can be said to have never been thought of, Several people couldn't help being stunned.

This is a life they have never experienced before, a life that looks strange but is very desirable.

"How... how is it possible?"

Akiko froze in place, the Nine Giant Cities were completely different from other small cities she had visited before.

She had been mentally prepared that something different would appear in the Nine Giants City, but she never imagined that it would be so different.

"Is this... where the empire directly rules?"

Uto was stunned, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice. Seeing these things in front of him, he suddenly understood why the ninjas couldn't win the empire no matter how hard they tried for so many years.

The ninja wandered in the wilderness, and spent every day fleeing and dying, living a life of fear and hunger.

And the empire, while splitting its manpower to deal with the ninjas, also established these nine spectacular metropolises in the world.

No matter in terms of strength or numbers, the two sides are not at the same level at all!
However, the empire obviously has such a powerful force, why can't it accept ninjas?

Looking at everything in front of him, Yudou was confused.

He could see that the people around him were very happy. Not far away, a couple snuggled together sweetly, sitting on a bench on the street and eating pastries. Several couples were strolling on the street, their The children ran around happily, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

Their lives and personal safety are not restricted in any way, which is completely different from ninjas.

Youdou said he couldn't understand.

But why?Everyone else can live a good life, but why are they so harsh on ninjas?
You know, ninjas don’t want to live a stable life. Like everyone else, they long for a peaceful and happy life. If possible, ninjas certainly don’t want to live a life of ups and downs. They obviously have a good life. , have to live a hard life, that kind of mental illness.

It is not that the ninjas themselves want to fight against the empire, but the empire's policy towards ninjas and their descendants is too cruel. The policy of killing mistakes and not letting them go caused the ninjas to be hostile to the empire in order to survive.

But why did the empire do this?
Uto couldn't figure it out. In fact, not only him, Akiko, Taro, and Yukimura, the few people who saw the bustling scene in front of them didn't understand. What's the point of the empire doing this?
It would be fine if the ninjas threatened the rule of the empire, but now it seems that the ninjas are being hunted down like rabbits, and there is no room for resistance at all, and the empire has established a world where ninjas have never seen before. With such a prosperous nine giant cities, the empire clearly has an industrial level far exceeding that of the ninjas. Under such a gap, how will the ninjas threaten the rule of the empire?

Could it be that, as the hounds of the empire say, the ninjas are the descendants of sinners?
A few people stood blankly in the bustling street, perplexed, hesitant, silent for a long time, Akiko finally came back to her senses, and said resolutely with her teeth gritted.

"No matter what, we have to find Sister Qin first."

She spoke firmly, with a tense face, maybe she was comforting others, or maybe she was trying to convince herself, she murmured like this.

"Ah."

Yudou also agreed, nodded heavily, trying to calm himself down again.

The purpose of their coming this time is to save people, so naturally, no matter what happens in front of them, they have to save people.

No matter what status the ninja occupies for the empire or the residents living under the rule of the empire, for them, Sister Qin is their most precious family member and companion, so even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire, it is very important. Can't be saved.

But, after all, when it comes to how to find someone and how to save someone, they have a difficult time.

In such a big city, there are endless streams, criss-crossing, high-rise buildings springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, with millions of people, how difficult it is to find a person in it, let alone find someone, you just It would take a few days to walk around the whole city.

Moreover, the most important thing is that they are not familiar with anything here, and their eyes are darkened, which adds a lot of difficulty.

A few people ran aimlessly on the street for several hours. As time passed, after the sun went down, there were gradually fewer people on the street, but they still had no clue.

"How to do?"

Youdou leaned in the corner, holding half a pie bought in the snack bar on both sides, and said distressedly while eating.

For them, there is no problem with food. They still have some coins in circulation in the empire. Although they are not many, they are enough to provide food for several people.

But living is very problematic. There is no doubt that there are hotels in the city, but the identity documents required to check in to the hotel are gone. The black households don’t have them. At night, they have nowhere to go and they can only spend the night on the street. , and, once everyone else has gone home, they will be very conspicuous.

This is not going to work. If it continues, their situation will become more and more dangerous. The strength of Taki City is beyond everyone's expectation. For such a big city, according to those weird things that were just glimpsed at the gate of the city before, Yukimura can imagine with his toes how strong the armed force is in the mechanical creation. Once their ninja identities are discovered, they may not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, there are two choices before them at this time, one is to leave the city immediately while there is still time, and the other is to find a place where they can hide.

Both methods are risky. If you go out of the city, you have to go through the city gate again and accept a white-eyed scan. Staying in the city is even more risky.

"How should I choose?"

The few people looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, but never thought of a suitable method, or rather, they had thought a lot in their hearts, but no one dared to make this decision lightly, after all, a few short words would determine how many people would take it. down to fate.

"Since you can't decide, why don't you try my method?"

Seeing that they had no idea for a while, Yukimura thought for a while, looked around, especially paused for a long time on a small street next to him, and frowned.

"I have a, um, not so good, plan here."
