Naruto under the bamboo forest

Time passed quickly, and the parade soon arrived at the central square of the City of Fire. In the central square, there is a huge altar, and a high stack of firewood is piled inside the altar.

After arriving at the square, the daimyo stepped off the sedan platform and walked to the altar in the center of the central square. A group of priests and witches followed closely behind the daimyo. The famous general personally lit the sacred fire in the center of the square on behalf of the people, which was the climax of the Fire King Festival.

Others in the procession, including Namikaze Minato, stayed outside the altar, while ordinary people stayed in the outer square. Watching the daimyo walk up to the altar, the people outside the square gradually became quiet, looking expectantly at the daimyo on the stage.

However, among the quiet crowd, there were dozens of figures sneaking around and looking very suspicious. Looking at the Fire Country Daimyo on the altar, a dark-skinned man in gray clothes flashed a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but his eyes quickly became firm.

"Hokage-sama?"

Ryūha looked at Namikaze Minato and asked softly. The more important the day, the more vigilant you should be. This is something that security guards need to keep in mind.

From the beginning of the parade, Liu Yu turned on his sensing ability and was alert to possible dangers in the crowd. However, the crowd was moving with the parade, so Liu Yu didn't notice anything unusual before.

But now that the people in the periphery have calmed down, the dozen or so people still moving in the crowd seem very suspicious, and there are still strong chakra fluctuations in these people. However, Ryūha was still worried that they were a guard force secretly arranged by the daimyo, so she asked Minato Namikaze softly.

Namikaze Minato didn't reply, but his expression became a little more solemn, and he gestured lightly to several people. Seeing Minato Namikaze's gesture, the three of them, Shiranui Genma, also seemed nervous, because Minato Namikaze's gesture just now conveyed the meaning of "prepare to fight."

"really!"

Seeing Namikaze Minato's gesture, Ryūha secretly thought to herself. It really doesn’t stop for a moment! I thought that escorting Namikaze Minato this time would be a relatively easy task, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing again.

"boom------"

On the altar, several feet of flame suddenly shot up. After a long prayer from the priest, the daimyo finally threw the torch with the sacred fire into the fire platform.

"Long live"

"Long live"

""

The moment the sacred fire rose, the people below cheered. This is the most important festival of the Fire Nation and has special meaning to the people of the Fire Nation.

"Whoosh----"

The moment the crowd cheered, a shuriken with a detonating talisman tied to it was violently thrown from the crowd, aiming directly at the Fire Country Daimyo in the center of the altar.

"Ding-----"

Namikaze Minato appeared in an instant, and his right kunai blocked the kunai thrown by the enemy. With a slight exertion, the kunai with the detonating talisman attached was bounced into the air.

"boom-----"

A huge explosion suddenly sounded in the air, and the originally lively crowd suddenly fell silent.

"ah"

"ah"

Soon, the crowd realized what was going on. Various screams rang out one after another in the field. The originally orderly crowd instantly became chaotic. People fled in all directions, trying to avoid the impending battle.

The explosion just now was a signal. After receiving the signal, the assassins hidden in the crowd rushed out one after another, aiming directly at the daimyo in the center of the altar.

"The art of fire escape from the fireball."

"Earth escape earth dragon bullet."

"Thunder Escape Walk."

Various ninjutsu were continuously released by the attackers, which only added to the confusion of the crowd.

"There are assassins to protect the Daimyo."

Looking at the chaotic crowd, a warrior who was suspected to be the leader drew his sword and shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation. After receiving the order, the warriors took action to form a human wall, trying to block out the chaotic crowd.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd and took out a scroll with his left hand. Holding both sides of the scroll with both hands, he suddenly unfolded the scroll, and countless shurikens and kunai flew out from the unfolded scroll.

"Whoosh whoosh----"

Faced with this sudden attack, many warriors lost their ability to fight, and a gap was opened in the human wall originally formed by the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy had opened a gap, the warrior leader hurriedly rushed forward, waving his long sword. The assassin who had previously released a large number of hidden weapons touched the scroll with his right hand, and a long knife appeared in his hand.

"Ding-----"

In a hurry, the samurai leader stopped the long sword wielded by the assassin. However, when he raised his head and stared at the enemy in front of him, he found that the corner of the enemy's mouth had been taunting at some point.

"嗗嗗----"

Crystal blue electric arcs flashed on the two long knives that were exchanged, and the assassin actually directly attached the Lei Dun blessing to the knife.

"ah-----"

Suddenly receiving an electric shock, the warrior leader screamed in pain.

"laugh-----"

Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the enemy was paralyzed by Thunderbolt, the assassin turned sideways, withdrew the long knife in his hand, and then slashed across the warrior leader's chest at a faster speed.

Blood spurted out from the wound on his chest, and the warrior leader fell to his knees unwillingly. After taking care of the samurai leader, the assassin continued to advance towards the daimyo's location.

"Whoosh-----"

A long knife was thrown and shot straight at the rushing assassin. Seeing the long knife coming, the assassin turned slightly to one side, trying to avoid the long knife's attack.

Just when the assassin sideways dodges Mikazuki Munechika, with a ripple in the surrounding space, Ryūha appears next to the thrown Mikazuki Munichika. Ryūha appears and kicks the assassin fiercely in the waist and abdomen.

"boom!"

Facing Liu Yu's sudden attack, the assassin had no time to react and suffered Liu Yu's kick. After being hit hard, the assassin's entire body flew to the side. However, the assassin quickly reacted and stabbed the long knife in his right hand into the ground to stabilize his body.

The assassin who stabilized his body looked solemnly at Liu Yu's sudden obstacle, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and charged forward with his sword again. This is the capital of the Kingdom of Fire. From the beginning of the operation, they never thought about returning alive.

On the other side, about half of the dozen or so assassins had already broken through the temporary defense circle formed by the warriors, and were heading towards the Fire Country daimyo under the leadership of the gray-clothed assassins. The guardian ninjas had already gathered around the daimyo when the explosion sounded, and were ready for battle. The three of them, Shiranui Genma, were on alert around the royal dignitaries of the Fire Country to prevent sneak attacks.

"bass----"

Before the assassins could move forward, Namikaze Minato flashed in front of the assassins. Looking at the murderous assassins, Namikaze Minato said coldly: "I won't let you do evil anymore."
