Chapter 267 The Radicals in the Guardian Ninja 2
Chapter 267 The Radical Faction Among the Guardian Ninja Twelve
What are Dilu and Beigen talking about, are they blaming themselves for escaping?Still discussing how to fight Kazuma and the others... Sarutobi Asma didn't want to think about it, forcing himself to focus on the thing in the cup in front of him, paralyzing his brain, letting go of everything, not going think······
"Boom!"
A large beer mug hit him in the face.
Asma Sarutobi was stunned for two seconds before his brain, which had become a little dull, reacted. He looked up along the hand holding the beer glass, and saw Kazuma's unpleasant face, but he didn't Getting angry, he just asked coldly: "He Ma, what are you doing here? Are you looking for a drink with me? Or are you looking for trouble with me? If you drink, you will pay for it yourself. I will not treat guests. If you are looking for trouble, change the time. I am not in the mood to accompany you today. you play!"
"neither."
Standing beside him with the horse, looking down at this opponent who had caused him a lot of headaches for a long time, he was filled with emotion. When the Guardian Ninja Twelve were first formed, he looked down on Sarutobi Asi Ma, the second ancestor who sneaked in thanks to a Hokage father.
It was only later that Asma Sarutobi proved with his own fists that he was not the kind of useless idiot, and caused Kazuma a lot of trouble in the following years.
but,
That's all in the past.
Now Asma Sarutobi was no longer a stumbling block in front of him, this stumbling block was moved aside by Konoha.
"Asma, do you want to join us?" Hema sincerely extended the invitation.
"to join you guys?"
Asuma Sarutobi let out a mocking laugh from his throat, looking at Kazuma as if he was looking at a fool, "Get out early! If you want to kill me, don't drag me, I'm not interested in accompanying you to commit suicide."
He Ma is not angry when he is bullied, this is the expected reaction, if he is persuaded as soon as he speaks, then there will be a problem.
He looked at Asma Sarutobi with burning eyes, "I know you don't like the current Konoha, so why don't you join hands with us to flatten Konoha together, if you are willing to obey the orders of His Majesty Daimyo, you will succeed The Sixth Hokage is not impossible!"
these words,
To be honest, Sarutobi Asma did have a heartbeat for a few seconds.
Become Hokage!
This is the dream of many Konoha ninjas. Asma Sarutobi had the same Hokage dream when he was a child, dreaming of becoming a great Hokage like his father... It was only later that the relationship between father and son changed. Nervous and rebellious, he even chose to leave Konoha, came to the Daming Mansion, and became a member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
after that,
Unexplained death of his father, the family also suffered a heavy blow, once the dream completely turned into a distant bubble.
"Hema, don't bother me, you're going to die and go! I'm too lazy to bother you, so don't bother me." Asuma Sarutobi rejected Hema's invitation again, and his heartbeat only took a few seconds , and Ma they are the ignorant and the dauntless.
Even though they have learned about the power of Konoha through various channels, it is still difficult to understand why Konoha can win in ninja wars again and again by relying on indirect means miracle!
And as a child who grew up in Konoha, and the young master of the Hokage family, Sarutobi Asma knows how powerful Konoha is.
Even though they suffered heavy losses in the Third Ninja World War and the subsequent Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha is still the most well-deserved and strongest violent group in the Ninja World. A dead body is an extravagant idea, he is not willing to die in vain, and he will bear the stigma of betraying the village after he dies.
And no matter what, even if it was because of his father's resignation, Konoha was always the hometown where he grew up.
Where he has friends, relatives, and many acquaintances.
"I'll stress it one last time, Hema, don't bother me, I won't interfere in things that hinder you, but you don't bother me, otherwise... I don't mind going to Lu Lu and the others Let's fight together with you."
Sarutobi Asma expressed his refusal with an indisputable tough attitude.
One of his hands was already in the ninja bag.
If he continued to entangle with Ma, he would not hesitate to use violence to reason.
"All right!"
He Ma sighed regretfully, "Since this is the case...then I won't bother you, Asma, I wish you a pleasant night!" After finishing speaking, He Ma turned and left, failing to It is indeed a pity to persuade Sarutobi Asma to join their group, but it is also expected. It is better to say that from the beginning, he has the mentality of giving it a try. It will be a pleasant surprise, even if it fails...・・That is also a matter of course.
walk outside the tavern,
A companion was waiting for him at the door.
"Failed?"
Watching Kazuma walk out alone, the man with a dagger in his arms greeted him.
"Half and half, my invitation was rejected, but he also expressed his attitude that he will not interfere in our affairs, so it's not a waste of time." He Ma replied.
"Could it be that he is lying to you? He may be worried that a person will be besieged by us, so he agreed verbally, and later regretted against us? To be on the safe side, I think it is safer to kill him now." The white-haired , a fox face, and a man with a dagger in his arms overflowing with murderous aura.
"Little Huwan, be quiet."
He Ma coldly glanced at his companion who had never been very quiet and always acted out of line.
"Don't make trouble for me, Asuma Sarutobi is no longer our trouble, it won't be of any use to attack him now, but it will bring us trouble. Your Excellency Daimyo is very optimistic about him recently, and he can't go back to Konoha Now, the Daming Mansion is his final destination, even if he hasn't figured it out yet, sooner or later he will be one of us."
"Tch! It's so boring."
The man with the cute-sounding name Xiaohumaru restrained his murderous aura, but the displeasure was visible to the naked eye on that pretty fox face.
"You can't move this one, and you can't touch that one. I said He Ma, when can we have a good fight? I've had enough of this kind of boring life. If I go on like this, I will I'm afraid my knife will become dull."
"Come on, come on!"
He Maqi jumped onto the roof of the small building opposite the tavern, stood on the roof overlooking the bustling city, and murmured: "I won't wait too long, the action... will start soon, Just wait for the right opportunity."
----
Chilu decided to go to Konoha. This was not a temporary impulsive idea, but a final decision made after careful consideration and communication with his companions. What kind of threat does Konoha pose, if Konoha is so easy to deal with, it would have been crushed by someone long ago.
What they were worried about was that Hema's thoughts and actions would affect His Excellency the Daming.
Undeniable,
The argument with Ma is very tempting, especially for His Excellency Daimyo, who completely controls the real power of ninjas in his own hands, instead of maintaining a relationship similar to a partnership with Konoha , This is a great temptation.
But this is unacceptable to Lu Lu and the others.
They firmly believe that the system of one country, one village is correct and suitable for today's era. Excessive concentration of power in the hands of one person is not a good thing in their opinion.
If His Majesty Daimyo is really bewitched by Kazuma and the others, the troubles that will be caused will not only be insignificant issues such as the internal division of the guardian ninja twelve warriors, but will cause the entire country of fire, and even the ninja world. All turbulent big trouble.
If the system of one country, one village is destroyed,
Maybe the ninja world will go back to the troubled times of the Warring States Period, back to the dark age full of blood and rain.
Jilu first asked for leave from Daimyo, then separated from Beigen and Chengma, and went to Konoha alone. It is impossible for him to hide his actions from Kazuma and others. He Ma and the others had already learned about this through secret channels.
then,
And Ma realized,
The opportunity he had been waiting for came.
"This is an opportunity. When that bald man leaves Daming Mansion, we can work together to kill him!"
It was Xiaohumaru who was speaking. This man with a beautiful fox face was an extreme radical among the radicals. No matter what the task was, he always thought of killing the other party and solving the problem from the source.
Once when Huo Daimyo sent them to escort a nobleman to the countryside to recuperate, Xiaohumaru chose to slaughter all the bandits, bandits, and wandering ninja gangs along the way in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes on the way. The blood flowed oars.
"The talents of the Immortal Clan in the Temple of Fire are very tricky. If you really want to do it, at least three people must join forces, otherwise you may be escaped by Lu Lu." In the corridor facing the garden, the six radicals sat or stood. , they got together because of the news that Di Lu had left Daming Mansion.
In addition to Hema and Xiaohuwan,
The other four members of the radical group were also present this time. They were Kamenosuke, Tianmu, Yunguang, and Zizi. Except for Zizi, who was a woman, the rest were all men, and the one who was speaking at the moment was Kamanosuke. , a man with a sallow complexion, an open mouth with yellow teeth, a short and thick build, who looks more like an old farmer than a ninja.
But if anyone is deceived by his appearance and thinks he is easy to deal with, then unless it is a raptor crossing the river, he will definitely suffer a big loss. It is not uncommon for people to lose their lives if they are unlucky, "... ···I have fought secretly with that guy Di Lu several times. The immortal talents of the Temple of Fire have extremely strong attack power, and their defense is also impenetrable. Even if I join forces with Ma, it is not difficult to defeat him , but it may not be feasible to stay, at least three people need to work together."
Kamanosuke explained to his companions the difficulties of Ji Lu in detail.
"Count me in."
Xiaohuwan was very excited.
The murderous intent in the eyes was almost overflowing.
"Can I... can I say no?" Tianmu is very young, it is better to say that they are very young. The Guardian Ninja Twelve was originally a group formed by a group of young geniuses, but even in this Among a group of young people, Tianmu, who is only 17 years old this year, is definitely the youngest one.
"Don't be lazy, Tianmu, your secret technique of perception is essential."
Kamanosuke glared.
Among the six radicals, it goes without saying that Kazuma is the leader, and Kamanosuke is probably the second in command, and he is an equal opponent with Chiriku. The two have fought openly and secretly many times over the years, and because of this, That's why he knows Lulu's intelligence so well.
"cough!"
Hema coughed lightly.
Tianmu, who was about to speak, closed his mouth obediently, and Yun Guang, who had been sitting under the pillar with his eyes closed to rest, also opened his eyes and looked over.
"I'm not going to take care of Lu Lu."
this sentence,
Kamanosuke and the others were stunned, and Kokomaru became restless in an instant. Fortunately, he could still restrain his emotions so that he would not be influenced by his emotions, but if he couldn't do this, At the beginning, it was impossible to join the Guardian Ninja Twelve.
"Hema, are you going to give up our plan?"
After two seconds of silence, Kamanosuke asked.
"No, I'm just going to revise the plan." Hema calmly faced the puzzled and questioning eyes of his companions, and said calmly: "Instead of cutting off a piece of land, I think it's better Take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Beigen, Chengma, Xingdou, and Dongyu all at once, otherwise the lightning escape technique will always be a big trouble, like a sharp knife hanging above the head, making people unable to rest assured Come."
Of course, if it can be usurped, it is also a must-have weapon.
"It's not impossible, but it's not easy to eat four people in one go." Kamanosuke stretched out his hand and scratched the sallow face, frowning, "Hema, are you sure you want to do this , Beigen and the four of them are not so easy to deal with, and if they don't leave the imperial palace, it will be inconvenient for us to do it... "
Private fighting is forbidden in the Imperial Palace.
Once they fight with Beigen and others in the imperial palace, the division and conflict between the guardian ninja twelve warriors will be completely exposed. At that time, His Excellency Daimyo may also be forced to express his position, and save them to show His Excellency Daimyo Want to centralize the ambition?Or abandon them and continue to endure dormancy... No matter which one, to be honest, it doesn't conform to the plan they discussed.
In accordance with their previously agreed plan of action,
It is to find a little opportunity to cut off the stumbling block of the Moderate faction in a covert way. Even if you can guess that they did it, but there is no evidence to prove that it is slander, you can continue to recruit people after the Moderate faction is dealt with. , strengthen the strength, and then give it a thunderous blow when Konoha can't react in time.
If this plan is shown to Zong Xian, there will probably be a comment of "It's too rough! And it's too small!"
But the radical crowd sees nothing wrong with their plan.
They feel that the plan does not need to be too complicated, and the simpler and clearer the plan, the less likely it is to lose the chain.
"It doesn't matter, after Bei Gen and the others are dealt with, we will continue our activities as traitors." He Ma calmly said something that made his companions dumbfounded!
Oh!
Not everyone was frightened, Xiaohuwan was so excited that he almost jumped up and cheered, and Yunguang always kept a cold face, making people a little unpredictable about his thoughts.
