Chapter 225 Try and Die (Two in One) (1/2)

"Thank you Qianhe."

"Are you being polite to me...what?" Qianhe laughed and scolded: "By the way, Itachi, when you come to Kirigakure this time, remember to be careful of Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage."

"The Fourth Mizukage? My mission is only to assassinate the political figures of the Kingdom of Water. I shouldn't encounter the Fourth Mizukage." Itachi was slightly stunned, not understanding why Qianhe suddenly said this.

Qian He frowned slightly. It couldn't be said that they were likely to encounter the Fourth Mizukage on their mission this time.

Moreover, the current fourth generation Mizukage is controlled by Obito. It is very likely that Obito deliberately used it to test Itachi's strength.

After all, Obito knew the inside story of the Uchiha clan incident, and also knew that Itachi was probably a spy for Konoha.

However, the Akatsuki organization is currently in the hiring stage and talents are scarce, so he turns a blind eye.

Anyway, the Akatsuki organization has not yet reached the stage of capturing tailed beasts, it is still in the stage of accumulating funds, and there are no big secrets.

"Forget it, I can't explain much. I won't tell you more about the specific situation. We don't have much time now." Looking at Itachi's confused eyes, Qian He didn't know how to explain it, so he just said With a wave of his hand, a humanoid shadow floated out of his body, and then turned from virtual to real in an instant.

He directly released the Light Tribulation clone. Rather than reminding Itachi to pay attention to safety, it would be more practical to directly give him a helper. It would be best if he could use it, and forget it if he didn't use it. It was just to be prepared.

"Qianhe, what is this?" Itachi was stunned for a moment, looking at the tall man in front of him, wearing a white coat and a white mask. His arms were equipped with sharp arm blades and fist blades that glowed with cold light. The white coat In addition, he also wore silver-white light armor, with his shoulders, chest, legs, arms, etc. all covered by light armor. There were also two daggers tied crosswise on his back, giving him an extremely armed appearance.

If he saw it correctly, this person floated out of Qian He's body just now. What kind of secret technique was this?

"You can call him Light Tribulation Clone for now. This is one of my unique secret techniques. This is the most powerful of all my clones. Let him follow you for the time being." Qian He pointed aside. The [Shisui avatar] said that the real Shisui could not handle the crisis of the Uchiha clan, but now the fake Shisui can protect Itachi.

"Qianhe, what are you..." Itachi had a look of shock on his face. He originally wanted to ask Qianhe how many secrets and trump cards he had, as he always had various new methods.

Although Itachi didn't know how powerful this secret technique called Light Tribulation Clone was, judging from the clone's ability to transform virtual reality just now, it was very suitable for sneak attacks and ambushes. Coupled with the powerful pressure emanating from the clone, it was obvious that Extremely powerful.

Especially Qianhe just now said that this was just the most powerful one among all his clones. Obviously Qianhe had more than one clone. Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but feel shocked. If Qianhe had three or four clones, the rest of his strength would be It's a little weaker than the one in front of me, probably not much more. This is really terrible.

"Itachi, I won't say any more. Just pay attention to your own safety. I'll take care of everything over there in Konoha. I'll leave first." Qianhe didn't waste any more words. After giving Itachi a few words, he faced The clone of Guang Jie on the side gave the order and said:

"You should follow Itachi during this period to ensure his safety. As for the specific situation, you follow Itachi's orders and decide on your own."

"Yes!" Guang Jie's clone obeyed the order, then nodded to Itachi and said: "Master Itachi, please give me more advice."

As he said that, the light robbery clone transformed directly and entered Itachi's body before he had time to react.

When the light robbery clone crashed towards him, Itachi was shocked. Out of his trust in Qianhe, he did not resist. After the light robbery clone entered his body, he subconsciously checked his physical condition, only to find that There is nothing abnormal about the body.

"This is..." Itachi felt as if he had gotten to know Qianhe again today. This kind of mysterious and mysterious technique was really terrifying.

Itachi thought that after he opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, the gap with Qianhe had narrowed a lot, but now he saw that he was too naive.

"By the way, Itachi, don't use the Mangekyo Sharingan unless necessary. It will cause too much harm to the body."

"I understand, Qianhe." Itachi nodded.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll see you next time." With that said, Qian He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the range of the barrier.

Itachi waited until Qianhe left, broke the barrier, eliminated the traces, and returned to Loquat Juuzang.

Since the two kept their conversations short, the secret meeting lasted no more than three minutes.

After Qianhe left Itachi, he did not return directly, but rushed towards the small town recorded in the scroll that Itachi left for him.

Since Tsunade stayed there for a while, it was necessary for him to go there and get some information.

Qianhe could tell that Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was so powerful that it could "change the size of one's body".

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Tsunade just lost money near here. If her creditor comes after hearing the news, he will definitely not look for her traces here, but trace the direction she left.

Tsunade stayed where she was and continued to gamble, which was just the first level; she would go elsewhere to be on the second level; but she did the opposite, thinking reversely, staying here to avoid her creditors, which was the third level; and then she went to another place to bet. He looked 18 years old, but then changed his age and was obviously on the fourth level.

Qianhe felt that as one of the three ninjas, Tsunade would not really leave just because she was familiar with the money.

As a person who can think of the fifth level in everything, Qianhe feels that he seems to be able to guess Tsunade's thoughts.

After all, it is not so easy to deceive him.

And even if Tsunade becomes a child, as long as Qianhe sees her, he thinks he will definitely recognize her.

Anyway, the Flying Thunder God Technique is fast, and it will only take him a few hours to catch up with the team from here.

******

Early the next morning, Uchihabo did not wait for Qianhe, so he led the team to the capital of the Land of Fire.

After half a day of rushing, although they have tried to slow down, they still did not wait for Qianhe.

According to the time, they can reach the Land of Fire today no matter how slow they are, so they did not wait there directly. Anyway, Qianhe could not treat this mission as a joke, so naturally they encountered something.

Uchihabo decided to lead the team to the Land of Fire as soon as possible to report to the Daimyo and explain the situation, in case Qianhe really encountered something and could not get back in time. If the Daimyo misunderstood, it would be a big problem.

In the second half, since Uchiha did not wait deliberately, they arrived at the Fire Capital at noon and came to the daimyo's mansion in the center of the city.

Since the daimyo was still handling government affairs, he sent an envoy to meet Uchiha and eight others.

In addition to the officials who represented the daimyo, the son of the third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi, also came with his good friend Dilu.

"Lang-kun."

"Asuma-san."

Asuma Sarutobi shook hands with Uchiha in a very friendly manner, and then he pointed to Dilu and said, "This is Dilu from the Fire Temple. Now he is one of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' with me."

"Dilu, this is Uchiha, the elite jonin of our Konoha Uchiha clan. They are here to perform the task of protecting the daimyo on the orders of the third generation."

"Hello, Mr. Dilu."

"Hello, Mr. Lang."

Looking at the dusty appearance of Uchiha and his eight companions, Asuma Sarutobi looked like the owner of this place. He smiled at the eight people and said:

"The daimyo is now handling government affairs and has a meeting, which will probably take another hour.

You should all be tired and haven't eaten yet. I will take you to eat something first, and then take you to rest.

But don't eat too much, the daimyo will personally host a banquet for you at noon.

In addition, the official mission will not start until a few days later. In the next few days, I will take you to get familiar with the welcome around the Fire City and let everyone feel the different customs from the village."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Sarutobi Asuma seemed very talkative and his attitude was very enthusiastic.

"Asuma-san, you are too polite." Uchiha was somewhat touched by Asuma's enthusiasm. After all, their Uchiha clan had been preparing for a coup not long ago to overthrow the rule of the top leaders headed by the Third Hokage. Although this matter was not known to everyone, the top leaders should still know it clearly.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma had no reason not to know about this matter, but now he had this attitude, which was obviously from the heart, treating them as people from the same village.

As for the Daimyo's personal meeting, Uchiha was less concerned. They said it was a guard mission this time, but they also represented the Third Hokage and the entire Uchiha clan, and the Daimyo should treat it seriously.

As long as they completed the mission perfectly and satisfied the village and the Daimyo, it would be enough.

"By the way, Langjun, I remember that the leader of this mission was our Konoha's new Jonin Kitahara Chiho, why didn't I see him?"

Sarutobi Asuma looked at the other seven ninjas in the team, as if he was looking for something.

Although he has been a member of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, guarding the Daimyo for these years and has never returned to the village, he is still very concerned about the safety of Konoha.

In other words, the entire Fire Country is concerned about the battles and victories between Konoha and other villages.

He is naturally familiar with Chiho Kitahara, the Aurora of Konoha, who became famous in the ninja world in the 52nd year of Konoha. This name is not only spread throughout the Fire Country, but is also often mentioned by the Daimyo. He is naturally very curious and wants to see it in person, and even wants to compete.

After all, after staying with the Daimyo for so many years, Asuma Sarutobi still knows the inside story of many things.

Many times, reputations are earned through fighting, but sometimes, as long as the village and the Daimyo intend to build momentum, the reputation will naturally spread more loudly.

Just like being one of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas", although Asuma Sarutobi does not want to admit that his strength is not the strongest among the twelve, his reputation is definitely the loudest.

When it comes to the 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' around the Daimyo, he is definitely the first name that comes to mind.

He knows very well how much of the Third Hokage's power is involved.

In his early years, he had a conflict with the Third Hokage, so he left Konoha in anger and came to the Fire Capital to serve the Daimyo, but after so many years, he still cannot get rid of the title of "Son of the Third Hokage".

So Sarutobi Asuma knew how difficult it was for a boy with no background to become famous in the ninja world at the age of 13.

He only knew that the last person to achieve such a reputation at a similar age was the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who died young.

"This..." Hearing Sarutobi Asma mention Captain Qianhe, Uchihawa showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Huh? What's wrong? Was there an accident?" Sarutobi Asuma looked at Uchiha's expression and asked in surprise.

Hearing what he said, the officials and Dilu who were leading the way stopped and looked at Uchiwa with doubts on their faces.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Uchiwa shook his head in embarrassment and said: "It's not that I encountered any accident, I'm going to explain this to the lord later.

Captain Qianhe suddenly asked to deal with some things last night, so he left the team. However, he promised to get to the Fire Capital in time today, so there should be no big problem. "

The Uchiha told the truth, but he didn't say it too harshly, otherwise if something went wrong, the Uchiha would be in trouble, and the daimyo would think that they were neglecting their mission.

"That's it. Don't worry, Lang-kun. I will help you explain it to the daimyo later. I believe the daimyo will understand."

Sarutobi Asuma frowned slightly when he heard this, then smiled softly to comfort everyone.

"Thank you." Uchimiami thanked him with a smile, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. It was rumored in Konoha that the third son of the third generation was a playboy, and he came to seek refuge with the daimyo because he had a falling out with the third generation. Now it seems that the rumors are obviously false. , and it seems that the relationship between me and the daimyo should be quite good. From this look, the third generation is clearly paving the way for him.

...

At noon, in the living room of Daming Mansion.

After the daimyo finished handling the government affairs, he held a banquet to entertain Uchi Namami and others.

At noon, it was considered a family banquet. There were only the daimyo, the twelve guardian ninjas, and eight Uchimiami, and the rest were some servants.

During the banquet, when Sarutobi Asuma and Uchiami explained Qianhe's situation to the daimyo, Kazuma, the leader of the radical faction among the twelve guardian ninjas, looked furious.

"What?! Your captain left halfway? Is this really unreasonable?"

As soon as Kazuma finished speaking, Rongyu, the only female ninja among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, echoed:

"How dare you Konoha to neglect the Daimyo-sama like this? That person hasn't come yet. As a ninja, he actually dealt with personal matters during the execution of a mission. Is such a person worthy of being a ninja?"

Sarutobi Asuma and Chiriku were both members of the Twelve Guardian Ninja who were loyal to the Daimyo, and they belonged to the conservative faction, the Shadow Protector faction.

The other ten people belong to the radical faction, insisting that Naruto is unnecessary, and believe that the real power of ninjas should be controlled by the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Regardless of whether the daimyo agrees with this idea or not, Konoha does not agree with their idea. However, although the twelve so-called guardian ninjas are all jounin, and there are many elite jounin among them, but against a behemoth like Konoha For example, there were three or two big cats and kittens, but Sandai didn't take them seriously at all. Anyway, they just had to protect the Daimyo obediently. As for what ideas they put forward, it didn't matter at all.

The daimyo wanted real power as a ninja, but did he dare to propose it?

"It's too much for those of you to say that!" Yu Zhibo looked at the two people who made the attack with a very bad attitude, and his face was a little ugly.

After all, their mission is also to protect the Daimyo, and they will definitely have to work closely with the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the future, but now that the other party is so disrespectful, it is clear that they are deliberately causing trouble.

"Excessive? Speaking of Konoha sending more guards, don't you believe that we can protect the daimyo? Does your captain Qianhe think that it will have no impact if he doesn't come?

I want to see how powerful you, the Uchiha clan ninjas from the so-called wealthy family of Konoha, are. I wonder if you are up to the task of protecting the daimyo? "

Kazuma had a look of disdain on his face, making no attempt to hide his provocation.

The daimyo only tried to persuade him a few words, and after Kazuma explained a few words to him in a pleasant manner, he said nothing more.

Sarutobi Asuma on the side frowned. Kazuma had a very bad attitude towards Konoha before, and now he was even more undisguised. This time Konoha sent an escort team. One of the important reasons was that he told Konoha that Ye asked for help. The radicals have been making more and more small moves in private recently. They may be trying to hold back their energy and want to make some big move, so they have to guard against it.

And Kazuma's attitude today made Asuma convinced that the previous choice was the right one.

I just don't know if Uchiha can deal with Kazuma. Anyway, Asuma Sarutobi asked himself, he is no match for Kazuma, especially the semi-finished thunder release ninjutsu they developed. It is so powerful that it is earth-shattering. He has only seen it before. Once, I was already frightened.

"Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you."

Just as the atmosphere in the venue was tense, Qianhe suddenly appeared out of thin air on the empty seat next to Uchi Namami, looking at Kazuma with an indifferent expression.

After saying that, Qian He stood up and bowed to the daimyo, saying: "Lord daimyo, I'm sorry that I didn't go through the gate and came in directly. I was delayed because of something before. I'm sorry!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Qianhe, these are all trivial matters." The daimyo's attitude was very kind, with a smile on his face, and he obviously didn't take this matter to heart.

The Daimyo still has some private channels to learn about some things in Konoha. The Hokage is on an equal footing with the Daimyo, and Chihe, as the head of the Root, is strictly speaking only one level lower than him. Chihe was already a powerful figure in the ninja world at the age of 13, so the Daimyo naturally wouldn't put on airs with him. Moreover, they got along very well in their previous meetings, and it will surely be the same in the future.

So when Chihe appeared, his attitude changed again.

"Are you Chihe Kitahara, the Aurora of Konoha? You're just in time. I want to try to see if you're as powerful as the rumors say." Kazuma looked at Chihe in front of him and narrowed his eyes.

Chihe raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Let's try it. Should I challenge all of you alone? Or should all of you challenge me alone?"
