The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Before coming to the Fire Country Daimyo Castle, Souji and Kakashi were planning to visit the Daimyo and openly protect each other.

However, since the daimyo had encountered so many "coincidences" and had fallen seriously ill before they arrived, they were not prepared to go according to their original plan.

Only if they hide in the dark can the daimyo continue to encounter "coincidence" events, right?

Therefore, under the protection of Hatake Sakumo, Souji did not show up in the Fire Country Daimyo Castle, and only Kakashi showed up.

But as the son of Hatake Sakumo, it is normal for Kakashi to visit his father occasionally.

Furthermore, Asuma is also a good friend of Kakashi. Even though the two of them often go in and out of the daimyo's mansion, they did not arouse the suspicion of the mastermind behind the scenes.

His father is the leader of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and his best friends are the top three members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, who are responsible for protecting the daimyo's safety.

So there was really no big problem in bringing Kakashi into the daimyo's mansion.

And Cang Si was not idle either. He would keep an eye on the daimyo's situation through the reincarnation mirror every day.

At the same time, during the time when Kakashi and Asuma were investigating, Souji also learned some information about the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

To be honest, the current situation of this organization, which was originally proposed by the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, is very delicate.

According to Hatake Sakumo, although he is nominally the leader of this organization, he cannot fully command this organization.

Because within this organization, there are also two factions, one is the Hokage protection faction, and the other is the radical faction.

The faction that protects the Hokage is led by Asuma Sarutobi, Jiriku, and four other people, while the radical faction is led by a man named Kazuma, and five other members.

Hatake Sakumo's role seems to be to maintain the balance between the two sides.

As for protecting the Hokage faction, there is no need to say more. You can tell from the name that although they are recruited by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, they believe that only the Hokage and Konoha can protect the entire Fire Country!

To be honest, it was quite embarrassing for the Fire Nation Daimyo to have such an idea.

The radicals, on the other hand, believe that the daimyo is the foundation of a country, and even Konoha and the Hokage should obey the daimyo's command!

This transformation is

He thought that the Hokage and Konoha were subordinates of the Daimyo.

If the idea of ​​protecting the Hokage faction made the daimyo feel embarrassed, then the idea of ​​the radical faction was a bit like putting the daimyo on fire.

Regardless of what the Daimyo was thinking, whether he had ever thought of treating the entire Konoha as a subordinate organization, he did not have any power in his hands.

This is a slogan that is directly shouted out. Do you think Dai Ming would dare to admit it even if he has this idea in his mind?

Therefore, the daimyo took a tacit attitude towards the two factions among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and did not favor either side.

In this case, it would be difficult for Hatake Sakumo, whose mission was to protect the daimyo, to take sides.

He accepted the invitation of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and came here to protect him because he had a good personal relationship with the Daimyo and had experienced rumors in Konoha.

Therefore, although Hatake Sakumo does not agree with the ideas of the radicals, he will not stand on the side to protect the Hokage faction.

For him, the establishment of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas should only exist to protect the daimyo and should not involve too many other things.

However, the members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas all have their own little thoughts!

It can be said that the conflict between the Hokage protection faction and the radical faction is a bit like pushing the Hokage and the Daimyo out to compete.

But in fact, at least on the surface, the Hokage and the Daimyo get along well.

Now we are worried that a fierce conflict may break out among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and the Hokage and the Daimyo may be involved.

"No, maybe several coincidences that happened to the daimyo have dragged the daimyo into the game. If something really happens to the daimyo, will the Hokage be dragged into the game as well?" After sorting out the information he had learned from Hatake Sakumo these days, Cang Si's face became solemn.

I don’t know if it’s Cangsi’s illusion, but everything that is happening now seems to be vaguely leading the problem to the Twelve Guardian Ninjas who are protecting the Hokage faction.

Don't the faction that protects the Hokage believe that the Hokage is the supreme leader of the country's military force?

Now that something happened to Daimyo, aren’t they the happiest?

Also, when did Daimyo start having nightmares?

Isn't it after returning from the Fire Temple?

The Fire Temple is a place that protects the Hokage faction among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

After connecting all these things together, the first thought that came to Cang Si's mind was that the members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas who were protecting the Hokage faction wanted to take action against the Daimyo!

But then, Cang Si felt something was wrong again.

"If that's true, then it's too obvious. How could those guys who protect the Hokage faction be so stupid as to attack the Daimyo immediately after he left the Fire Temple?" Cang Si shook his head, denying the first suspicion that arose in his mind.

Moreover, Asuma Sarutobi is one of the leaders of the Hokage faction. Even if he looks like a bad boy, he should not do something like assassinating the daimyo.

To put it bluntly, Asuma didn't have that thought or idea at all!

Since Asuma, the leader of the Hokage protection faction, has no such idea, the others will have no such idea either.

It is impossible for another leader, Di Lu, to do this. The Daimyo had just left the Fire Temple when something happened, which would not be good for him.

Then, it would be even more impossible for the remaining four people to bypass Asuma and Dilu and attack the daimyo.

"From this perspective, it is the radical Twelve Guardian Ninjas who support the daimyo who are more likely to do such a thing.

One reason was to frame and protect the Hokage faction, and the other was to intensify the conflict between the Daimyo and the Hokage.

And the purpose of their attack on the daimyo is probably to conceal their tracks!"

Staying in Hatake Sakumo's house, Souji analyzed the matter quickly in his mind.

The more Cang Si analyzed it, the more he felt that his second guess was more likely.

But the specific truth still needs evidence and we cannot slander others without any reason.

Chapter 631 The truth shrouded in fog

Three days later, with the help of Asuma, Kakashi also came to some preliminary conclusions.

"Father, Senior Souji, Asuma and I have made some speculations these days about who would benefit the most if something happened to the daimyo." As soon as Kakashi returned home, he hurriedly called Souji and Hatake Sakumo over and began to tell them about the results of his investigation.

It can be seen that Kakashi should be quite confident in his speculation, otherwise he would not seem so excited.

In fact, Kakashi is always very calm when completing tasks in the Anbu, but this time he is acting with his father and respected predecessors, so he wants to show off a little.

"This direction of investigation is indeed quite desirable." Hatake Sakumo nodded, agreeing with his son's investigation in this direction.

"Kakashi, tell me, who can benefit from the Daimyo's accident?" Although Cang Si had his own ideas, he still wanted to hear what Kakashi said first.

However, his first priority suspect is still the radical members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

"There are four people! They are the targets of my investigation this time!" Kakashi's tone was very serious.

"Who are they?" Hatake Sakumo asked subconsciously.

Although Cang Si didn't say anything, he also turned his gaze to Kakashi.

When Kakashi mentioned four people, Souji knew that Kakashi's investigation direction should be different from what he suspected.

As for who is right, it is hard to say for now.

Because although Kakashi mentioned four people, it was more like four targets. Although there were six radical members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, these six people could only be considered one target.

After hearing his father's question, Kakashi calmly took out four pieces of paper, each with a photo and densely written information on it.

It can be seen that Kakashi had already been prepared.

"What is this?" Hatake Sakumo frowned after seeing the photos in the materials.

"Senior Sakumo, do you know who these people are?" Seeing Hatake Sakumo's unhappy expression, Cang Si turned his head and asked.

Cang Si barely knew any of the people in the Fire Country Daimyo Castle, so he had no idea who the people in the information that Kakashi had taken out were.

But judging from the clothes these people are wearing in the photos, they are definitely rich or noble!

In addition, after seeing these photos, Hatake Sakumo's expression became very solemn, which further confirmed the extraordinary identities of these people.

Of course, this also proves that Hatake Sakumo should know these people.

"Huh, I do know who these four people are. I just didn't expect that Kakashi would turn the direction of the investigation to them." Hatake Sakumo let out a breath, his expression still not relaxed.

"What? Could it be that Kakashi's investigation direction is wrong, and they are not suspects?" The expression of Hatake Sakumo subconsciously made Souji have such suspicion.

"No! On the contrary, now that I think about it, perhaps Kakashi's direction of investigation is the most correct one!" Hatake Sakumo said this, but his expression has been very serious and ugly since he saw the photos of these four people just now.

Cang Si was shocked. It seemed that there were indeed some problems with these four people who could make Hatake Sakumo say such things.

As a result, Cang Si, who was originally very confident in his guess, gradually began to become curious about the identities of these four people.

Therefore, after having doubts, Cang Si looked at the name and information under a photo.

"Yuan Ichilin? Hmm, what's so special about this guy?" This was the thought that subconsciously popped into Cang Si's mind after he saw the young man in his twenties in the photo.

Then, when Cang Si looked down again, his pupils widened instantly.

Cang Si didn't read much, only a small line of text after the name Yuan Ichilin: The eldest son of the Fire Country Daimyo!

At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to Cang Si's mind, and he quickly read through the other three pieces of information.

Above

The contents are:

Yuanshicheng, the second son of the Fire Country Daimyo.

Miki Madoka, the third daughter of the Fire Country Daimyo.

Kaede Enichi, the younger brother of the Fire Country Daimyo.

In addition, the name of the Fire Country Daimyo is Yuan Ichigen!

After reading the above information, Souji also understood why Kakashi would investigate in this direction and why Hatake Sakumo felt that the four of them were highly suspicious.

This is because if something really happened to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the next Daimyo's successor would be chosen from among these four people.

In this world, the inheritance rights of the daimyo are not limited to the daimyo's sons, even the daughters are eligible, not to mention the daimyo's biological brothers.

But relatively speaking, the sons of the daimyo generally have the highest priority in inheritance.

At this moment, Cang Si remembered that although this world has extraordinary abilities, it also has nobles and ordinary people.

At the very least, the daimyo's inheritance rights would be the same as they were in the ancient emperors in Cangsi's previous life, except that there was an additional option for a daughter to inherit as well.

Think about it, how many people in ancient times killed their fathers, sons, and brothers for the position of emperor.

In this case, isn't it normal for the daimyo's brothers and sons to want to kill him?

Let’s not talk about the distant past. When it came to the Snow Country, didn’t Fenghua Nutao, as the younger brother of King Fenghua Zaoxue, stage a coup?

He succeeded in the original novel, but was stopped by Cang Si in this life.

After thinking this through, Cang Si had to admit that Kakashi's direction of investigation was indeed much more reliable than his guess.

Compared to the benefits that the radical Twelve Guardian Ninjas might get, if they are found out, or if the new daimyo who comes to power is still the same as the current daimyo, they will not get any benefits and will be hunted down by the entire Fire Country!

Therefore, at this moment, Cang Si also began to trust Kakashi's investigation more. ..

"Kakashi, are you suspecting that the recent events around the daimyo are the result of a struggle for power among his children and brothers?" Hatake Sakumo asked Kakashi.

"That's right! The Fire Country Daimyo is still in his prime, so he hasn't designated an heir. If he dies under these circumstances, the four of them are the most likely to inherit the Daimyo's position.

As for who will take the top position at that time, it depends on how many supporters they each have.”

Kakashi also told his own analysis in detail.

Because of Asuma's help, Kakashi had already chosen a direction at the beginning of the investigation, so he was able to find these things so quickly.

I have to say that Kakashi is worthy of being an elite in the Anbu, and he considers things very comprehensively.

Just talking about the means and speed of the investigation, even if Cang Si was in charge and had the ability to read minds with his Byakugan, he might not be able to achieve results so quickly.

After all, the Byakugan's mind-reading ability cannot see into memories, it can only see the target's thoughts at the time.

It's impossible that the mastermind behind this is always thinking about killing the Daimyo of the Fire Country, right?

People also have to eat, sleep, and think about eating, drinking, defecating and urinating!

Therefore, it was indeed a wise choice for Souji and Hatake Sakumo to let Kakashi investigate the matter from the beginning.

"Well, next, let's talk about the suspicion of these four people. First of all, I think the daimyo's third daughter, Enichi Miki, should be ruled out." After identifying the four most suspicious people, Cang Si began a more serious analysis.

"Yes, do you remember the first coincidental accident that happened to the daimyo? It was because the pet cat of Enichi Miki suddenly jumped out that the daimyo was lucky enough to escape." After a little thought, Hatake Sakumo agreed with what Soji said.

“Not only that, as a woman, the chances of Meiji Yuan Ichi inheriting the title of Daimyo of the Land of Fire are not very high. Unless her two brothers and uncle have an accident, it will be her turn.

Therefore, if something really happened to the daimyo, she would be the one with the least chance of benefiting from it! "
