Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

After staying in the City of Fire for two days, the most grand festival of the Fire Country was finally ushered in - the Fire King's Festival. On this day, Namikaze Minato, the Hokage, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country attended the grand celebration together.

.

When the first ray of morning light shines into the earth, it means that the celebration has officially begun. Before the celebration has begun, Namikaze Minato has already gone to the palace of the daimyo, preparing to participate in the parade with the daimyo. Shiranui Genma and the others acted as

The members of the Shadow Guard naturally followed Minato Namikaze.

"Hokage-sama, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Namikaze Minato, the daimyo greeted him cordially. In any case, Konoha had won the Ninja World War after all. As a victorious daimyo, he must be very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Namikaze Minato replied officially.

"This is the name of the Fire Country!"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was obviously old in Chinese clothes, Minzu Lei whispered to the side. This was the first time he saw the name of the Fire Country.

Liuyu turned around and glanced coldly at Bingzu Leitong behind him, signaling Bingzu Leitong to remember his responsibilities.

The parade started soon. The daimyo rode on a huge sedan chair and walked slowly forward, with Minato Namikaze accompanying him. Following behind were members of the royal family, the third prince whom Ryūha had met two days ago, and the unruly Himeko.

The princess was also in the accompanying team. The unruly Princess Himeko looked a bit royal after putting on her festive attire. Then came various dignitaries from the Fire Country and foreign envoys, flanked by cheering fire fighters.

the people of the country.

.....

Ryūha didn't pay attention to the official greetings between Namikaze Minato and the daimyo, nor did he pay attention to the various celebrations on both sides. Instead, he focused his attention on the guards around the daimyo.

There were four guards around the daimyo, three men and one woman. Unlike the rest of the team who were relaxed during the festival, they all looked very serious and looked at everything around them with vigilance.

The man at the front was wearing a monk's robe. He was almost fifty years old. He was also the oldest among the few people. He always had half-squinted eyes. The man behind him was about twenty years old, with silver hair and always had a gun in his mouth.

One Senbon is somewhat similar to Shiranui Genma.

Liu Yu had met the remaining two people once, they were the brother and sister who accompanied the Third Young Master to look for Princess Himeko last time, but he didn't expect that these two people were actually the Daimyo's bodyguards.

The solemnity of the four people was in sharp contrast to the relaxedness of the people around them, but these people were undoubtedly extremely qualified as guards, and the daimyo trusted them very much. This could be seen from the daimyo's eyes when he casually glanced at a few people.

Perhaps they were stimulated by their colleagues. At this moment, Shiranui Genma, Nyashiri Dou and Tie Iwashi acted very seriously. As the guards of the Hokage, they naturally cannot lose to the guards of the daimyo.

"Very strong!"

At this time, Liu Yu's first impression of these people was that they were all dressed up in different ages, but they had one thing in common, that is, all four of them had a loincloth with the word "fire" hanging around their waists.

"A guardian directly under the Daimyo?"

Looking at the loincloths with the word "fire" on their waists, Liu Yu couldn't help but guess.

The "Twelve Guardian Ninja" are the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the daimyo of the Land of Fire. They are a private, independent force directly under the command of the daimyo. The original book did not mention much about this organization, only Asuma, Fire

Jilu, the abbot of the temple, once belonged to this organization.

When Asuma was still guarding the Twelve Ninjas, the Twelve Guardian Ninjas split into the moderate faction headed by Asuma and the radical faction headed by Kazuma. Kazuma failed to assassinate the daimyo and confronted Asuma and his party.

In the end, a large number of casualties were caused, and the "Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors" were completely disbanded. However, this disbandment should refer to the disbandment of Asuma's Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors.

In the original work, Nara Shikamaru was invited to join the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas" after Asuma's death, but was rejected by Shikamaru himself. However, this also shows that the members of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas" are not

It is fixed and can be supplemented and replaced at any time.

After the civil war of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninja' ended, Asuma and Chiriku chose to leave. At that time, the daimyo should have started to form a new generation of guardian ninja. After all, the work of protecting the daimyo could not follow Asuma.

He and Dilu left without anyone to take responsibility.

Since the Guardian Ninja is an organization with replaceable personnel, it means that Asuma was not a member of the first Guardian Ninja. It is not surprising that several Guardian Ninja members appeared at this time. It is even possible that the Guardian Ninja at this time was not a member at all.

Twelve people are not called the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

As for the sources of the guardian ninja, they come from various places within the Land of Fire. There are ninja monks from the Fire Temple who have been passed down for thousands of years, and there are also elite jounin from Konoha, but most of them come from people scattered throughout the Land of Fire.

Other ninja families.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara ushered in the era of Ninja Villages, and major families gathered together to establish Ninja Villages. However, not all ninja families chose to join the Ninja Village organization in their country, and there are still some ninja families that are independent in various places (such as

Earth Spider Clan).

However, the rise of Ninja Village is inevitable. Ninja families that have not joined the Ninja Village quickly decline. They have no choice but to devote themselves to the daimyo of various countries and become an important fighting force in the hands of the daimyo. These ninja families that rely on the daimyo also become daimyo.

An important force that checks and balances the ninja village to which it belongs.

Just like the twelve guardian ninjas of the Fire Country daimyo in the original work, except for Asuma and Jilu, who have clear origins, where did the remaining ten guardian ninjas come from? The only thing Riyuha can think of is that they are attached to the Fire Country.

The various ninja families.

Just like the clothes worn by the siblings, there is a black six-pointed star painted on the back. If you guessed correctly, it should be the emblem of the family to which the siblings belong.

As for the elite ninja guards like the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas" who are directly subordinate to the daimyo and are responsible for the personal safety of the daimyo, Ryūha believes that they also exist in the other four major countries.

...

Noticing that Liu Yu was sizing them up, the old monk who was suspected to be from the Fire Temple remained unmoved. The brother and sister they met last time smiled back at Liu Yu, and the one holding the thousand books in his mouth snorted slightly.

He glanced at Liu Yu coldly.

"Is this the beginning?"

Noticing the man's attitude, Liu Yu couldn't help but frowned. Unexpectedly, some of the guardian ninjas at this time were dissatisfied with the Konoha ninjas. It was not a matter of time before the twelve guardian ninjas in future generations split into two factions.

"Forget it! What does this have to do with me? Let Asuma deal with this kind of trouble!"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu no longer paid attention to the guardian ninjas of the daimyo, but instead observed the cheering crowd around him. Not to mention, this actually made Liu Yu discover an acquaintance. Among the crowd, Liu Yu saw that he was the first jounin after he became one.

Client----Bang Rijie.

Feeling Liu Yu's gaze, Bang Riji raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled back at Liu Yu.
