Konoha: This is called taijutsu!

"Well, Hokage-sama has taken the trouble, let's go now."

In this way, Yuhi Hong inexplicably got into the team of the daimyo's guardian ninja and went with him to the daimyo mansion.

Chapter 116 Isn’t it good to be alive?

The Land of Fire, on the way from Konoha to Damingfu.

There are ten jounin accompanying the escorting ninja, including Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Asuma. The minimum requirement to protect the twelve ninjas is jounin, and they are also the guardians of the daimyo.

Following the daimyo's chariot along the way, Yuhi Kurenai was still confused. Why did she suddenly become a candidate to be one of the Twelve Guardians?

She didn't even know what it was to protect the Twelve Ninja.

"Red, that's great, we are companions again from now on." Asuma walked aside and said with a smile.

"Asuma, you..." Yuhi Kurenai frowned, and then she thought of something. The risk of this kind of mission is actually not high, and it can get generous rewards and resumes.

It can be said that as long as they serve for enough time, the reputation of guarding the Twelve Ninja is enough for them to be directly promoted to Jonin without any suspense.

Becoming a jounin is also the upper limit for most ordinary ninjas, but the Twelve Guardians themselves will receive a reputation bonus for guarding the daimyo. It can be said that as long as they complete the guardianship mission for a few years, they will become the default elite jounin.

The daimyo's chariot arrived at a small town at noon.

"Lord Daimyo, you can rest now."

"Yes." The daimyo walked out of the car and followed the traveling ministers to rest.

A group of Konoha ninjas spread out to guard the surroundings. They didn't need so much rest, but the physique of ordinary people was incomparable to that of ninjas.

Only then did Yuhi Kurenai have the opportunity to find Sarutobi Asuma, and asked angrily: "Asuma, did you arrange this mission with Hokage-sama? How can I serve as the daimyo's guard with my chuunin strength!?"

"Red, you will only be a medical ninja in Konoha Hospital for the rest of your life." Sarutobi Asuma said with a frown, feeling a little annoyed.

"Master Chen will also guide me in my practice, and there's nothing wrong with being a medical ninja."

Sarutobi Asuma's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "That guy is from the Uchiha clan and will be killed sooner or later. Do you really think he can teach you anything?"

"what are you saying!?"

Kurenai Yuhi was also shocked. As a civilian ninja, she didn't know much about the games and contests between Konoha's top brass, as well as Uchiha Chen's stance.

boom!

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded, and the village was in chaos. But strangely, apart from the explosion, there were not many human screams in the entire village.

Kurenai Yuhi was still calm and ran directly in the direction of the daimyo. The key to their mission was the daimyo.

"Wait, wait for me!" Sarutobi Asuma realized later and ran over quickly.

In the village, in an open space, ten Konoha ninjas protected the Daimyo. Dozens of famous ninjas surrounded them and stared at them eagerly.

"Who are you!?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke stared at these people with cold eyes, and his heart was a little solemn. These people are definitely from the Great Ninja Village.

"Hurry up, Konoha's Anbu are coming soon, the daimyo is going to live." The other party didn't mean to talk nonsense, he just took action decisively.

The war was about to break out, and the two sides started fighting directly. Kunai collided with each other. It seemed that due to the safety of the daimyo, neither side used ninjutsu.

when!

After fighting several times, Sarutobi Shinnosuke noticed that his opponent was good at earth escape. He was shocked and shouted: "You are Iwa ninja. Does Iwagakure want to start another war with Konoha!?"

The group of ninjas who were attacking were also startled, but their offensive continued unabated, constantly compressing the space on Konoha's side, trying to get closer to the daimyo.

Seeing that the daimyo's situation was extremely critical, all the Konoha ninjas were also anxious.

"Fire Escape! Ashes Burn!"

"Um!?"

A group of people were confused by the sudden dust. When both parties reacted, they were blinded by the dust and heard the sounds of collisions and fighting from time to time.

"Earth Escape, Earth Hidden Technique!"

"Sure! Protect the Daimyo!"

Realizing the purpose of the Iwa Ninja, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took action with all his strength and directly used Wind Release to disperse the dust, but it was too late. The Daimyo had disappeared, and even the Iwa Ninjas had disappeared.

The remaining Jounin of Konoha also looked extremely sad. The daimyo was kidnapped under their protection. This was no longer a dereliction of duty, but a shame, a shame for the entire Konoha!

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, a group of Konoha jounin looked at Shinnosuke. As the guardians of the twelve ninjas, they naturally took orders from Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was an elite ANBU, and they naturally did the same now.

"Asuma, you two stay here and wait for the ANBU to come for support. The others will follow me."

Uh-huh!

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him without any warning. The face of the frightened Jounin of Konoha changed drastically, but he relaxed slightly after noticing the person coming.

Wearing a black windbreaker with a fan pattern embroidered on the sleeves, he glanced around deeply and calmly.

He frowned and asked directly: "Where is the daimyo?"

"Hmph!" Shinnosuke looked at Uchiha Chen with some hostility, snorted coldly, and did not explain.

"Forget it..." Uchiha Chen saw this and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He looked directly at Yuhi Hong and asked: "Do you want to go to Daming Mansion?"

"It's none of your business where Kurenai wants to go. Just mind your own business!" Before Yuhi Kurenai could speak, Sarutobi Asuma stood up and glared at Uchiha Chen and said.

"Quiet." Uchiha Chen just said indifferently. Sarutobi Asuma's aggressive attitude a moment ago turned pale instantly, his whole body was trembling, and he looked like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Pupil power suppression.

Although it is not a clever method, even he himself is not sure how strong Uchiha Chen's eye power is now. A chuunin who is not outstanding in willpower and spirit is seeking death if he faces this pressure.

"Uchiha Chen, this is Hokage-sama's order!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke also warned at this moment, but after Uchiha Chen turned his eyes, he was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Well!"

"Lord Chen, I, I don't want to go to Daming Mansion." Yuhi Hong took the initiative to walk up to Uchiha Chen at this time, lowering her head and scolding herself.

Shaking his head, Uchiha said: "There's nothing wrong with Daming Mansion. You can go wherever you want. Don't worry about the Hokage's orders."

Uchiha Chen's original intention was that Konoha Hospital would not be under the Hokage's control at all. As early as the beginning of the Third Ninja War, the Medical Department had already shown signs of becoming independent.

Now that he has the support of many families, it is even more impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to get involved in the medical department. Transferring people directly from under him has already touched his bottom line.

However, these words had another meaning in Yuhi Hong's ears.

"Let's go." Uchiha Chen put his hand in front of Yuhi Hong, preparing to activate Flying Thunder God.

"Wait!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke saw that Uchiha Chen ignored him again and again, and said angrily: "You have to help us find our daimyo!"

"The loss of my name in your hands has nothing to do with me." Uchiha Chen doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, let alone things that have nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment at this moment. He said somewhat hysterically: "The people who kidnapped the daimyo just left and you came here! Who can prove that you have no contact with them?"

Uchiha Chen, who was about to leave, stopped in place, then turned to look at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, his scarlet eyes turning.

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

Chapter 117 The Book of Sealing

Uchiha Chen has always believed in not taking the initiative to cause trouble. Poking a hornet's nest can't be solved by killing a few, but will cause endless trouble.

Unless he sets fire to the hornet's nest and burns it completely.

But it is a pity that Uchiha Chen does not have the ability to burn down the hornet's nest with fire, and even if it is burned, the eggs and honey will be destroyed, and nothing will be obtained.

Therefore, even when faced with deliberate plotting and suppression by Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, he chose to settle the matter.

This does not mean that he does not hold grudges at all. Uchiha Chen is not a saint, and he does not kill just because it is better than killing senior officials like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Life is worthless to him, and even if he is killed several times, he doesn't care as long as the fact that he can be resurrected is not exposed.

But if someone provokes his rules, then this matter is a different matter.

"What do you want to do!? I, I am the Third Hokage's...! Hmm!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at the ghostly figure that appeared in front of him, his face changed drastically, and his next words were choked by a sense of suffocation.

"The smartest thing about the Sandaime is that he knows how to restrain himself. It's a pity that you idiots haven't learned it at all."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has many titles, among which Uchiha Chen thinks the title "Ninja Hero" is the most appropriate, because he really knows how to disguise himself.

Whoosh!

A black shadow appeared from a distance at an extremely fast speed, followed by several more figures falling down one after another.

"Chen, let him go." Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage robe and hat, stood more than ten meters behind Uchiha Chen.

All the Anbu and Root ninjas were looking at this place nervously. They had arrived here as quickly as possible. The daimyo was robbed, and Konoha had to do this.

He casually threw the dull-eyed Sarutobi Shinnosuke aside, the illusion was lifted, and he came back to his senses with a look of confusion and horror.

Uchiha looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said calmly: "Hokage-sama may take some time to educate his heirs."

"Dust." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's actions just now have made him lose face. There are very few people in Konoha who know that Sarutobi Shinnosuke is his son. few.

If this incident spreads, it will be a devastating blow to his prestige as Hokage, and it will have an impact on the image he has always created.

"Then don't disturb Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Chen remained calm, and under the surprised gazes of the surrounding Anbu, he walked directly in front of Yuhi Kurenai and prepared to leave.

"Chen, Iwagakure's condition is the sealed book in your hand, wait a minute!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said upon seeing this.

Uh-huh!

However, this time, Uchiha Chen did not stay, but directly launched the Flying Thunder God and disappeared in place.

Why did Iwagakure kidnap the Fire Country Daimyo? This kind of thing can be imagined with the fingers of one's toes, and it has no practical significance other than causing Konoha to take reckless revenge.

There is not only one candidate for the daimyo. Whether you choose one from the royal family or one of the daimyo's descendants, it will not affect the overall situation. It will only have an impact on the economy of the Fire Country in a short period of time.

After wasting so much energy and letting an elite team take the risk to infiltrate, it was obviously inevitable.

Uchiha Chen did not forget that he still had a copy of the Sealed Book of Iwagakure Village in his hand. Although it lacked the most important dust escape inheritance, it was also one of the foundations of the entire Iwagakure Village!

In addition to directly grabbing it, Iwagakure Village can only rely on negotiation to get it back. Negotiations naturally require chips, and kidnapping the daimyo may be the most cost-effective way.

"Hokage-sama, what should I do?" the accompanying ANBU asked.

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only wave his hand and ordered: "Send out the elite ANBU and the elite Jonin in the village. Before the Iwa Ninja escapes from the Land of Fire, we must rescue the Daimyo at all costs. return!"

"yes!"

All the ANBU disappeared instantly and began to chase in the direction where the Iwa Ninja fled.

At this point, not long after the end of the Third Shinobi World War, the rivalry between Konoha and Iwagakure began again.

If the Iwa Ninja escapes from the Country of Fire, there will be little hope of rescuing the Daimyo. Similarly, a team of Iwa Ninja operating within the Country of Fire will be riddled with dangers and face the risk of destruction at any time.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke himself was a member of the ANBU, and he was still guarding the twelve ninjas, and he also joined the chasing team.

"Asuma, you can go back first." Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Sarutobi Asuma who was following him and dissuaded him.

"No, brother, I want to go too." With persistence in his eyes, Sarutobi Asuma followed behind Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and a group of ninjas kept shuttling through the forest.

At this moment, a ray of silver light flashed between the branches, and the ANBU around them crashed into it before they could react.

"Ah..." A scream sounded, and then——

Boom! !

The most effective way to prevent pursuit is traps. Traps made using steel wires and detonating talismans are the most efficient. This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi would say that no matter the cost, if there are enough traps, they will even have to pay several times the price of the opponent. Maybe get your name back!

Therefore, this kind of reckless pursuit is rarely seen even in wartime.

This contest between the two great ninja villages lasted for three full days. In the end, the daimyo was successfully recovered at the border of the Land of Fire, but Konoha also paid a heavy price, with dozens of elite ninja casualties.

Correspondingly, the elite troops on the Iwagakure side were also decimated.

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

boom!

"Damn Konoha! Sarutobi Hiruzen, hum!" Onoki looked at the battle report in front of him angrily and slapped his palm on the table.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what should I do with the sealed book?"

"Let the Daimyo warn the Land of Fire and Konoha that the Sealed Book must be brought back. Remember, don't say any conditions. The Sealed Book is ours. There is no need to compromise with Konoha. If you don't return it, I will wait for me to ask Konoha for it. Ye declares war!”

"yes!"

Anger is only part of the reason why Onoki's attitude is so tough. More importantly, Iwagakure Village itself has a profound background.

Even though the two great ninja wars consumed a lot, Iwagakure still remains firmly at the forefront of the five great ninja villages.
