Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 668 Shura Congregation

After receiving Lei Luo's order, Fu Yue stepped forward and squatted down, opened his double kaleidoscope and looked at a masked ninja lying on the ground with half of his legs missing, and began the process of interrogating information.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

The equilateral triangle pattern rotated slightly, and the kaleidoscope illusion was immediately activated. The ninja who was looking at Fugaku shuddered violently, then calmed down, and replied in Furui's sluggish tone:
"We are Shuras, this is our task."

"Who sent you here?"

"I don't know."

Not far away, Lei Luo frowned slightly when he heard the question and answer between Fu Yue and the so-called Shura ninja. He subconsciously thought that there was a loophole in Fu Yue's kaleidoscope illusion. The memory of the enemy.

At this moment, Lu Jiuxu guessed what Hokage-sama was thinking when he noticed Lei Luo's step, and explained to Lei Luo in a low voice:

"Master Naruto, the Asuras are a group of bounty ninjas. These people usually accept tasks on the black market, and most of the time they don't know who their employers are."

Hearing this, Lei Luo stopped to look at Lu Jiu, and saw that his face was very determined. After thinking about it, he asked a little strangely: "Bounty ninjas? Black market? In other words, they are barely mercenaries?"

Thinking of Jiaodu's occupation, and recalling the existence of the Xuanyuan people in the original book, Lei Luo generally understood what kind of people the Shura people are, and Lu Jiu's answer also confirmed his judgment:
"The nature is similar to that of mercenaries, but they are essentially just a group of wandering ninjas. They only adhere to the purpose of doing things with money. Regardless of their strength or status, they are not qualified to participate in the Ninja World War."

A group of wandering ninjas, but the members are not the powerful faction of the Great Ninja Village, the rebellious ninjas. These Shuras don't have the ability of Akatsuki in the original time and space, but imitate Akatsuki's behavior style, and they have the courage to ambush him, Lei Luo, it's really life-threatening long.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that.

After all, in the previous battle, seeing the reaction of the Shura members when they faced him, it was obvious that they neither knew him nor knew what abilities he had. Is this stupid?Or was it cheated by the employer?

Shaking his head, he touched the Hokage hat on his head. Lei Luo couldn't figure out what was going on with these Shura ninjas, so he didn't say anything more, but focused on Fu Yue's interrogation.

After a while, the question and answer ended temporarily. Fu Yue stood up and turned to look at Lei Luo. Seeing that Lei Luo was also looking at him, he simply reported directly:
"Master Hokage, the Asuras know who we are. According to them, they think you have a false name, and the price for your life in the black market is extremely high, so they took the task of ambush you."

After Fuyue finished speaking, Lei Luo didn't have much reaction. He didn't comment on Shura's stupid behavior of wanting money and life, and he didn't ask how much he was worth in the black market. He just asked lightly:

"Why would a group of bounty ninjas know...we are going to appear here today? Time, place, who gave them the information? Have you asked clearly?"

"The information is provided by the employer, and the Asuras really don't know who the employer is, but..." After a slight pause, Fuyue organized his words and added with a serious expression:
"The Asuras have obtained the road map for our journey to the capital city of the Land of Fire, and they also know that the departure time will be in the near future, so..."

"This group of people ambushed here a few days ago."

Lei Luo nodded slowly, as if a little irritable, raised his hand and pressed his neck, making a crisp clicking sound, which made Lu Jiu look over and said in a low voice:
"Master Hokage, apart from Lord Nonoyu and a few high-level officials, the only ones who know our route and will set off in the near future are..."

"Daiming." After saying these two words for Lu Jiu, Lei Luo put down his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, a serious expression slowly appeared on his face, and said slowly:
"I didn't expect this to happen, it's troublesome..."

Realizing that Lei Luo's words were sincere, Sheng Shu immediately expressed that he didn't quite understand, coughed lightly, and said disapprovingly:

"Master Hokage, with your strength and the strength of the few of us, no matter how many bounty ninjas the daimyo sends, they are nothing but cannon fodder. If you feel troubled, then I, Rokki, will do it for you..."

As he was talking, he noticed that Lei Luo was looking at him, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, and Naoki's voice could not help getting lower and lower, until finally he kept silent.

Lu Jiu, on the other hand, probably felt that the scene was a bit awkward, so he couldn't help explaining for Lei Luo: "Rope tree, the reason Hokage-sama finds it difficult is not because of how difficult it is to deal with in combat, but because..."

"Daimyo, you have realized that we are not good people."

Lu Jiu looked at Lei Luo with a questioning look, and seeing the latter raised his chin to signal him to go on, he put on a solemn expression and pointed to the group of Asuras on the ground:

"These guys are essentially cannon fodder."

"The daimyo knows Hokage-sama's strength and our Konoha's strength, but still chooses to send Shuras to ambush us. In my opinion, this is not like rushing to the doctor because of a sudden illness at a loss, but more like a warning."

As Lujiu's analysis continued, Fugaku and Beiliu couldn't help being attracted. Even Naoshu no longer entangled with Lei Luo's eyes just now, but looked at the Konoha think tank with curiosity. .

"The daimyo is very clear about the extent to which our relationship has deteriorated due to the production of ninjas and merchants, but he still chose to cut off financial allocations during the Second Village incident."

"Under such circumstances, the daimyo must have figured out how we would react, so he sent a group of insignificant bounty ninjas to block the road and intercept Hokage-sama. His intention was nothing more than to tell us..."

"If you insist on tearing your face apart, then continue to the capital of the Fire Kingdom, otherwise, return to Konoha obediently—I think this is what the daimyo wants to express through the Shura crowd."

As Lu Jiu's words fell, Naoshu's eyes seemed to turn in circles, and he was obviously fainted by Lu Jiu's logic.

As for Fuyue and Beiliuhu, one of them was serious but in a trance, and the other was in a daze thinking. It seemed that even though their comprehension was stronger than Shengshu's, it was still limited.

"Where are there so many twists and turns?" Lei Luo inadvertently cast a sidelong glance at Lu Jiu, and with a little irritability on his face, he concluded straightforwardly:
"To put it simply, the ambush incident by the Asuras means that the daimyo is on guard against us, and it means that the daimyo is ready to meet us in battle. Of course, these are not important, the important thing is..."

"Daimyo, he will most likely leave some behind to deal with all kinds of adverse situations that may occur."
