Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

"Less than a hundred people."

"Take someone with me to take a look."

With several Anbu ninjas, Tsunade entered the Sarutobi clan's base.

Nowadays, the only people left here are the old, the weak, the sick, or those who cannot become ninjas.

Even when they saw the Hokage, they simply bowed and continued with their own business.

"They're all gone..." After walking around the core area of ​​the family residence and seeing that it was empty, Tsunade sighed.

She didn't know whether she should lament the cruelty of those who left, or feel troubled by the mess they left behind.

How should we deal with these powerless people?

Tsunade found a frail elderly man, pretended to be ignorant, and asked about the whereabouts of the missing people.

"Why did so many ninjas from the Sarutobi clan disappear? They didn't report to me. Leaving the village illegally is equivalent to treason..."

The old man's expression did not change noticeably. He tremblingly took out a kunai and placed it around his neck.

"Hokage-sama, if you want to punish, please punish us. No matter what the fault is, those of us who are still here are willing to bear it all."

After saying this, the man closed his eyes and was about to commit suicide.

Tsunade quickly snatched the kunai, threw it on the ground, and left without saying a word with a cold expression.

Outside Sarutobi's base, Tsunade sighed.

This group of people who stayed behind were indeed a big trouble.

If they died and the news got out, who knows what the people in the village would say.

“Don’t let them leave the base, and don’t let them come into contact with people outside.”

Tsunade instructed the ANBU ninja beside her.

The Anbu nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, she returned to the Hokage's office and announced that the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan had left the village without reason, and labeled them as traitors.

Afterwards, she arranged for a group of people to go to the border of the Land of Fire to take over the work that originally belonged to the Sarutobi clan ninjas.

The news spread quickly throughout the Fire Nation.

"She was actually listed as a traitor. Tsunade is so decisive. Doesn't she worry about Konoha becoming weaker internally?"

In a side hall somewhere in the capital, the daimyo was leisurely drinking wine and reading the information coming from various places.

Suddenly, he realized that it was quiet around him.

Although he asked people not to disturb him, it was impossible for those people in the palace to remain silent.

"Someone is coming..."

Before he could finish his words, Hidan and Kakuzu appeared in front of him calmly.

The daimyo was a little stunned for a moment, but he still saw clearly the ninja forehead guards worn on the two people's heads, which were severely scratched, and instantly understood their identities.

"Rebel ninja, are you here to assassinate me?"

"No, we are here to trade with the Daimyo." Kakuzu shook his head, "Daimyo, how much do you think your life is worth?"

"Is this a threat?" Daimyo asked coldly.

"Hey, Kakuzu, don't drag your feet, those people might not be able to react..." Hidan urged.

"Okay, let me make it short. The group of people who were listed as traitors by Konoha are now gathering in the capital. If Your Highness the Daimyo is willing to spend some money, I can help you solve this problem."

As he said this, Kakuzu made the gesture of rubbing money.

Feiduan was complaining in his heart: This guy is really a business genius, he can make a fortune anywhere...

Daimyo had a cold face and said nothing.

He had no idea how many assassins he had seen.

Even if he died today, it would not affect the rule of the Fire Nation. His family would soon push someone to take his position.

Kakuzu didn't say anything else. He put down a card with the address on it and left with Hidan.

After the two disappeared, the ninjas who were originally guarding the Twelve Ninjas came hurriedly. They knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, "Your Highness, an unknown ninja just invaded. Are you okay?"

"Waste!" The daimyo shouted angrily, spilling the unfinished wine on them.

The subordinates were trembling with fear and dared not utter a word.

The daimyo, however, set his eyes on the things that Kakuzu left behind.

Chapter 195: Fire Nation Palace Changes (Subscription Request)

Outside the palace, two guards stopped Asuma.

"Stop, Asuma, you don't have to come here anymore."

Although he had expected this, Asuma felt mixed emotions when he heard his former colleague speak like this.

"why?"

The two guards looked at each other without explaining.

"I would like to see His Highness the Daimyo," Asuma requested.

The two men finally spoke again, "His Highness the Daimyo will not see you, and you know the reason."

Are you kidding? Who would dare to employ a family of ninjas that are all traitors?

Without the constraints of ninja rules, they would be a destabilizing factor.

Asuma sighed and left.

After returning to his residence, he sorted out his recent letters, but still had not received a reply from Danzo.

I don't know if Danzo also received the news that the Sarutobi clan is now just a rebellious ninja family, but he didn't contact Asuma again.

Asma, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Danzo, you bastard, you dug a hole and didn’t fill it, you are really cheating your father!

Danzo only talked a lot, but he had to lead his people forward carefully.

Thinking of this, he felt a little strange. Isn’t Danzo worried about the Shimura clan?

He admitted that Tsunade was a good person and would not take the initiative to massacre an entire clan, but he thought that the future lives of those people would definitely not be as good as before.

Did Danzo give up on the Shimura clan, or were they willing to stay in Konoha in cowardice?

At this time, several more tribesmen came to see him.

Asuma knew what they were going to ask. They just wanted to know the next plan.

Now they have been defined as traitors by Tsunade, and what awaits them in the future may be hunting down by Konoha ninjas.

It is necessary to plan the future for the clan during this period of time.

After a brief chat with his tribesmen, Asuma came to the outside of the daimyo's palace again.

"I want to see His Highness the Daimyo," he said.

The guard's voice was still grim, "Your Highness the Daimyo is not seen."

Asuma left without saying a word.

The next day, he came here again and made his request, but was rejected.

This continued on the third and fourth days.

The guards grew impatient and stopped paying attention to him.

fifth day.

"I want to see the daimyo."

"Asma, are you annoying? It's impossible, it's impossible." The guard frowned.

"I said, I want to see the Daimyo." Asuma said again, with unquestionable voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Sarutobi people suddenly appeared behind Asuma.

After that, there were continuous footsteps.

Countless figures flickered.

In an instant, the Sarutobi people appeared behind Asuma and stood in rows.

At a glance, there were nearly two hundred people, of different heights, all with determined looks.

The guards were all startled, then muttered, "There are still so many?"

Hearing this, Asuma was stunned.

They were just surprised by the number, not by the sudden appearance of people.

Could it be that the Daimyo knows something?

Seeing Asma and his men coming in full force, the guards reacted quickly, sending out a signal and summoning the guards outside the palace to gather quickly.

"Enemy attack, assemble!"

Soon, the two groups fought together.

Asma rushed to the front, broke through the encirclement in blood, and rushed into the palace.

Following the familiar route, he soon arrived in front of the daimyo.

At this time, hearing the fighting noise outside, the daimyo had been protected by several ninjas. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked calm.

"Your Highness." Although his clothes were stained with blood, Asuma still remembered his original identity and bowed respectfully.

"Asuma, I'm sorry, I don't need you anymore." The daimyo said calmly.

At least on the surface, it was impossible for him to accept a rebellious ninja as his subordinate.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to restore the reputation of the Sarutobi clan."

Ignoring what the Daimyo had just said, Asuma made his own request.

Hearing this, the Daimyo just shook his head slightly, "Konoha's affairs have always been handled internally by Konoha. I can't interfere."

Asuma lowered his head, and the expression on his face was difficult to read.

The two ninjas who were protecting the daimyo looked at each other, nodded, walked out at the same time, took out kunai and approached Asuma.

When the kunai was about to hit him, Asuma dodged it in an instant.

At this moment, the ground seemed to be hit hard and kept shaking.

All the Sarutobi people that Asuma had just led came running at full speed.

Their bodies were stained with a lot of blood, the blood of the enemy.

Most of the outer guards were ordinary people, and the Sarutobi tribe were all ninjas, so it was not difficult to deal with them, and the casualties were minimal.

"Asuma, are you guys planning a rebellion?" someone from the daimyo side shouted.

Asuma said nothing and silently allowed the tribesmen behind him to rush forward.

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive." The daimyo frowned and ordered, and under the protection of three ninjas, they moved away from here.

As for the other capable people in the palace, they took up weapons and joined the battle.

There were more than a hundred ninjas in the daimyo's palace, and even more samurai and ordinary people.

Looking at the bloody battle scene from afar, the daimyo said indifferently in a certain direction: "Why don't you come up?"

Hidan lazily walked out from the corner.

"Your Highness, Daimyo, businessmen always talk about money." Kakuzu, who was also waiting here, spoke up.

Daimyo sighed and nodded helplessly.

After staying in the Land of Hot Springs for a few days, Hanabi became restless and dragged Hinata around to play, and Hinata had no choice but to accompany her.
