Chapter 215 In the Dark, in the Dark, Playing with Dolls
"But as far as I know, most of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas died back then, except for Ji Lu and me, most of the rest died."
Asma expressed her doubts.
Back then, there were civil strife among radicals and moderates, and in the end there were heavy casualties and few survived.
land...
He had no reason to betray Chiba.
Qianye is also the honorary host, which is related to the development of the Immortal model of the Temple of Fire. They have no reason to cut off the subsequent promotion path.
and.
Jilu's attitude towards Konoha has changed a lot.
The current Temple of Fire has just begun to cooperate with Konoha, and the relationship between the two is very strong.
No matter how you look at it, it cannot be land.
"So it's not the guardian ninja you guessed?"
Shikamaru looked at Chiba.
Qianye frowned, then smiled and said: "I don't know who it is, but it must be trying to harm us, just go and see."
"Um."
Instead of guessing randomly here, it is better to go to Daming Mansion to have a look.
They set off on their way.
Coming to Kyoto soon.
Qianye observed the surroundings calmly, and at the same time smiled and said: "Dingji, how is your practice recently?"
"Not bad."
Ding Ci answered vaguely while stuffing his food, "I have recently mastered the breathing activation technique, and I have also mastered the other secret technique to a certain extent."
"Okay, eat more for a while."
Chiba patted him on the shoulder.
Ding Ci has mastered a certain amount of calorie secrets, the more he eats now, the more powerful he will explode later.
"How do we divide next?"
Asma and Yamato looked not far away.
The inside of Kyoto is not as good as the outside.
The situation here is very complicated, and they can't do anything aggressively. If the two teams go in together, the target is too big, and it is easy to become the target of the other party.
Chiba looked at the two of them.
have to!
It's about letting yourself make up your mind.
He thought for a moment.
"Let's separate, the other party may not dare to make a move when they get together, only by separating can they lead them to make a move."
Chiba said.
"Is there really an enemy?"
"Try it, it's not bad anyway."
"Too."
Asma looked at Shikamaru and the others, then nodded confidently.
They have made great progress during this time.
Although it can't be said to be strong, the three have gradually taken on the appearance of Zhuludie, and he has considerable confidence in his disciples——
Even these three were more or less influenced by Chiba.
The two teams separated.
Chiba and his team are good at concealment, following behind to observe the surroundings, forming a cooperation between light and darkness.
After a while.
"Qianye-kun, if there are enemies, shall we take action?"
"Look first."
"good."
Hesha nodded, and then quietly blended into the surroundings.
Qianye couldn't help admiring secretly.
Although Hesha didn't have the ability to escape, her transformation technique has been practiced to a high level. Combined with her talent for concealing aura and her own technique, it is impossible to detect it with naked eyes and senses.
This kind of ability is not too much to say that it is invisible.
"etc."
"..."
Hesha turned around suspiciously.
Chiba put her hand on her body, and then a spell slowly emerged.
"This is the Flying Thunder God spell. Although I can't go there in an instant, I can sense your exact location. If there is any danger, I can immediately support you."
"Um."
Hesha nodded without refusing.
She disappeared all around.
Yamato couldn't help sighing: "This kid has been practicing very hard recently, and he knows exactly which direction he should work hard."
In terms of swordsmanship, Konoha is not the only powerful one from the Yueguang family.
They can gain a foothold in Konoha, in addition to swordsmanship, another important factor is concealment.
even.
The latter is the foundation of the Moonlight family.
Why is it that the Moonlight Clan can exert its power in the Dance of the Three Suns and the Moon?
Because other families don't have "through-dun", and there are very few talents like Hesha to conceal their aura.
And the Moonlight family...
There are quite a few of them!
The differentiated track is the foundation of Moonlight Home.
Chiba closed her eyes and used her senses to search her surroundings, but she didn't gain much for the time being.
The other party did not seem to be following the Asma team.
All the way to Daming Mansion.
Qianye couldn't help but smiled: "Their patience is beyond my imagination."
"Then next?"
"You and I will go in separately, and I will go to other places."
"Where?"
"Secret."
After Chiba finished speaking, the figure disappeared in a whoosh.
certainly.
His is not a transformation technique, but an instant body technique.
"What a speed!"
Yamato sighed.
His taijutsu is not weak among jonin, but compared with Chiba's taijutsu, his taijutsu is really not enough.
There may be only one person who can compare Konoha Pure Body Art with Chiba.
...
Chiba temporarily separated from them for two reasons.
one is.
He is going to meet the ground snake here——
There was Sakuraba Sadataki who had a mission intersection before.
The Sakuraba family was in the herbal medicine business, and Chiba later helped them take the lead with the Nara family, so they had some friendship and could talk to each other.
I don't know how Sakuraba Sadataki is doing now.
Chiba ran all the way, sensing Sakuraba Sadaki's aura, and then...
After a minute or two, he reached the source of the breath.
This is a noble courtyard.
Although the location is relatively remote, the fragrance of flowers is strong and the decoration is very luxurious.
He looked up.
Sakuraba Sadataki was watering the flowers not far away, and an old man beside him slowly reported some news.
After several minutes, the old man finished speaking and left.
Sakuraba Sadataki was about to go back to the house.
"Miss Sadataki, we meet again."
"!!!"
Sakuraba Sadaki turned around instantly.
this voice...
So familiar!
Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Mr. Qianye? Why did you come to Kyoto!"
"I have a mission to come to Kyoto, but I am not familiar with the place here, so I came to you, a local snake, for help."
Chiba smiled.
Sakuraba Sadataki still remembered herself.
This was a bit of a surprise.
Zhen Taki showed a smile and said: "If there is no Chiba-kun, I may have been married to someone who does not know, and it is also impossible to have the right to speak now. Just say what you want."
Chiba shook her head.
"It's not that serious, just asking for some information, do you have any contacts with people around Daming?"
"My lord?"
Sakuraba Sadataki didn't expect Chiba to ask the daimyo's information, and she was a little puzzled, but after thinking for a while, she still didn't ask the reason.
After thinking about it again and again...
She said: "We are responsible for the sales of herbal medicines. Recently, thanks to the help of Chiba-kun, we have strengthened our relationship with Konoha. We also sent some herbal medicines to the daimyo."
"So, you have information about His Excellency the Daming?"
Chiba's eyes lit up.
This trip was not in vain!
"Forget it, this is because of Qianye-kun's help, otherwise our Yingting family would not have such power."
Sakuraba Sadataki was sober.
She was able to succeed only because she took the boat of cooperation with Konoha, and the key factor was Chiba.
Working with this boy...
Beneficial and harmless.
"Okay, I want to hear your opinion on Your Excellency Daming."
Chiba asked.
The reason why he suspects that there is someone behind the daimyo comes from his communication with the daimyo, the cognition generated after the conversation, and his understanding of the plot, but there may be some misjudgments.
"My lord? You were very courageous when you were young, but now you are old and lack courage, but most of the time you make wise decisions and don't make random decisions, but..."
Sakuraba Sadataki frowned and said, "Your Excellency Daming is not quite right recently. He will withdraw the policy that was promulgated before in a few days, and then he will not say the reason."
Chiba's heart skipped a beat.
The daimyo will not be ignorant of the disadvantages of changing the order from day to day.
Could it be...
Illusion manipulation?
Do radicals have the guts?
No!
It should be the guidance of trust, words and illusions, which amplifies the uneasiness in a certain part of daimyo's heart and makes daimyo make wrong decisions by himself.
The same goes for hiring them for protection.
It is impossible for ordinary illusions to manipulate a person——
Even if the other party is just an ordinary person.
Chiba tried hard to remember.
"clear."
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?"
Sakuraba Sadataki's heart skipped a beat, and she was keenly aware that there were some opportunities inside.
Chiba nodded: "I need you to bring me in, I want to meet Your Excellency Daming alone."
"No problem, like this, I have some flowers from the Yamanaka family here, and I originally planned to send them to my subordinates. Since Qianye-jun, you want to see your daimyo, then I will take you into the palace."
Sakuraba Sadataki raised an eyebrow, and then said, "But maybe you need to pretend."
"no problem."
Chiba nodded.
He doesn't know how to change shape, but he is not lacking in disguise. With the Chakra shield, basically no one can detect his abnormality.
"Then let's go now, it just so happens that the subordinates have packed up."
Sakuraba Sadataki was decisive and swift.
With her help, Qianye changed into the clothes of his subordinates, and then entered the Daming Mansion with their motorcade.
Although I didn't see Daimyo right away, but...
Soon Sakuraba Sadataki found an excuse to visit and was interviewed by the daimyo, but now he has to wait for a while.
"Your Konoha ninjas are here?"
"Well, our mission was announced by Your Excellency Daimyo, but I think Your Excellency Daimyo may have some potential and invisible dangers."
Chiba said in a low voice.
Sakuraba Sadaki nodded thoughtfully.
She thought for a while and said, "I heard that Your Excellency Daming went to bed earlier than before. I don't know if it's related."
"It's okay, let's wait a minute."
Chiba is not in a hurry.
The squad on the bright side is the tenth squad of Asma, and the squad in the dark is the first squad, but the other party will not expect that there is still a person staring at them in the dark.
After entering the Daming Mansion, all you need to do is wait quietly.
Chiba followed Zhen Taki and walked around the small area of Daming Mansion, and Zhen Taki told him a lot about the recent events in Daming Mansion.
He gradually gained some new understanding of the recent changes in Kyoto.
The other party didn't aim at "life ninjas" and said that "only life ninjas" are not good enough, and hoped that the daimyo would win more ninjas for himself.
This was supported by many nobles.
The people behind it know daimyo and nobility well!
It is basically certain that——
The other party is the radical faction who guards the remnants of Ren.
As for the name...
It should be the radicals and horses mentioned by Asma!
The next moment, Qianye suddenly looked to the northeast of Daming Mansion.
"What direction is that?"
"The back door of the Daming Mansion, with the guards behind the Daming, what's wrong?"
"The other party has shown up."
Chiba smiled.
Finally, he didn't let him wait in vain, this Kazuma's guardian Shinobi came.
"What should we do now?"
"It's nothing to do, you go back normally, I'll just go and arrest him, and it's our ninja's business later."
Chiba smiled.
Sakuraba Sadataki opened his mouth, obviously hesitant.
Chiba looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Chiba-kun, can I, can I learn the ability of a ninja? Or, can you please grant me the power of a ninja, anything is fine, as long as I can protect myself!"
"ah?"
Qianye was a little surprised, and then hesitated a little.
Sakuraba Sadataki wants to learn ninjutsu...
Not in terms of care.
but.
It would be a good choice to have someone of my own in Kyoto.
Chiba considered again and again.
"Give me a period of time to think carefully and see if there is a simpler technique. If I think of it, I will come back to you."
"Thank you Chiba-kun!"
Sakuraba Sadataki bowed again and again, overwhelmed with excitement, and then ran away happily.
