Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 280: Do we have to queue up to assassinate the daimyo?

From the Kingdom of Frost to the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder, Yunming City,
Theoretically, at the speed of a ninja, it would only take less than half a day on foot.

However, this is for normal people.
There are exceptions for those who are directionally challenged.

Because I couldn't find my location on the map at all, I couldn't understand this rough map at all.

After a long silence beside the campfire, Uchiha Ci, this strange team that was inexplicably formed,

In the end, I had no choice but to choose the dumbest method.

The Frost Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom are both adjacent to the ocean. As long as they follow the coastline all the way north, they will eventually enter the Thunder Kingdom.
Although they will encounter many outposts set up by the Hidden Cloud Village in the process, it is not difficult for the three of them to cross these outposts given their skills that far exceed those of ordinary people.

After leaving the uninhabited areas affected by the war and crossing the outposts along the coastline,
The three finally found a village in the Land of Thunder.
Well, it’s not a village. The people active in this place are a group of ordinary people who were originally fishermen and are now bandits.

After extracting detailed route information from the other party and extorting some money,

At noon the next day, the three of them finally arrived at the largest capital of the Kingdom of Thunder.

Yunming City.

just,

"The city is closed? No one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being?"

"There are undead evildoers causing chaos and robbing the execution ground, and there is a team of nearly a hundred people?"

"No, so besides the executioner, all the other people watching are enemies?"

As soon as the three of them arrived at the city gate, after asking passers-by who were also stopped at the city gate, Uchiha Ci learned such outrageous information.

This made him feel dazed.
How could such a small evil cult gather so many people with lofty ideals?
Is this the power of religion? !

The evil cult that had been hiding in obscurity in the Land of Hot Springs suddenly flourished after arriving in the Land of Thunder?
Standing at the gate, Scorpion, wearing a bamboo hat, spoke calmly:

"Sure enough, it's just as I expected."

Uchiha Ci scratched his head, glanced at him, and asked:
"How do you say that?"

"At this point in time, there are many people who want the life of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

"They are all people who want to take advantage of others to cause trouble."

Scorpion looked at the wanted poster posted in front of the city gate and frowned.
"For other countries besides the Fire Nation, the best option for the Lightning Nation is to continue attacking the Fire Nation."

"But now, because of the information leak, Kumogakure continues to march towards Konoha, which is not good for the Land of Lightning."

"Now, Yunyin has three choices,"

"One is to take advantage of the conflict between other major powers to plunder the surrounding small countries, recuperate and wait for the next war."

"Second, the cross-sea attack is now in a period of civil unrest, and Kirigakure has already fought a battle with Iwagakure before, so it is a weak Kirigakure."

"Three is um, that shouldn't be possible."

As if he had thought of something, Scorpion shook his head.

Uchiha Ci glanced at Scorpion, who was currently serving as the team's brain trust.
"Tsk, it's so foggy"

"This is the daimyo, the real powerful noble in this world. How can the fighting of hired ninjas affect the daimyo?"

"Who dares to risk the world's disapproval and kill the great name of the Thunder Nation?"

As he asked, he excluded himself and Yuyajo En from the discussion. Uchiha Ci snorted and gave Scorpion a look.
The system of the ninja world has not changed for thousands of years. In addition to people like me who treat it as nothing, there are also people like Miyashiro En who are direct victims of the system.
How could the ninjas, who are already accustomed to the separation of military and political power, want to reform this system?
Moreover, although it is not described in detail in the original work, the daimyo should also have his own armed force. In addition, with the constraints from all parties, taking action against the daimyo will only end up with more disadvantages than advantages.

This makes the ninjas with superhuman powers afraid to act rashly.

"hehe."

Thinking of the urgent problems in the Sand Village, and the high-ranking officials who dared not speak out because of the control of the daimyo,
Scorpion shook his head and sneered.
"People always get angry, and the anger of a ninja is like thunder compared to that of an ordinary person."

"The system of the ninja world is based on balanced regulation. Do you think that the top leaders of the ninja village would willingly allow their wallets to be controlled by ordinary daimyo nobles?"

“It’s just that no one has ever set such a precedent before.”

"But now, hasn't Uchiha Ci already started doing it?"

"However, this kind of thing is still too boring." "Success and failure are just a wave in the long river of time. Only eternal things can be called-"

"Art!"

Unlike others, Scorpio looks at things from the perspective of art, nothingness, and time. He is more like a bystander outside the world.
Because of this, he saw these things more clearly.
just,

He has no interest in changing the system.

When he heard Scorpion calling his name, Uchiha Ci was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that it was not him that was being talked about, but "Uchiha Ci".
The one who actually attacked the Daimyo was Hidan, who was influenced by him and affected others.

As the victims of the war, the Yu Ninja launched an angry counterattack against the Yu Kingdom.
Fired the first shot to change the world and rewrite the ninja system!
Thinking of this kind of thing, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but scratch his head.

very beginning,
He was obviously just trying to get a bail.

I didn't want to save Uchiha, nor did I want to change the world.

But now, what is going on?
"Well,"

At this time, Scorpion turned his head and glanced in the direction of the official road outside the city, and laughed evilly.
"The one who really wants the Thunder Nation's reputation and life is here!"

Hearing this, Yuyajo En, who was standing silently beside him holding his daughter, was startled. He thought his true purpose had been discovered by Scorpion.
Is this kid who makes toys going to report me on the spot?

But when he turned back,
Then I saw——

On the official road in the distance, a team of three was slowly approaching.
The old woman in the lead was wearing a loose black robe, a white scarf tied around her chest, and a yellow bun bag slung over her shoulder. Her lavender hair fell to her shoulders, and her face was full of wrinkles.

On both sides of him followed a young woman wearing a backless dress with birch and green hair, and a young man with a goatee and a headscarf.

Uchiha Ci was slightly startled, and immediately recognized the person.

The leader was none other than Elder Chiyo of the Sand Village, who had a deep hatred for him. As for the two people beside her, one was the Scorch Release Ninja Yekura, who was not sold out by the top brass of the Rasa Alliance and died during the Third Ninja World War because of him.
The other person, who looked like a spy planted in the Sand Village by Scorpion's subconscious mind manipulation, was a senior ninja named Yura.

Then, the long-awaited city gate was opened.

A messenger dressed as Kumogakure came out and shouted:

"Welcome the envoys from Sand Village and Iwagakure Village. Only envoys are allowed to enter the city. The rest of you, please continue to wait for the opening time of the city!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Ci tilted his head and looked behind the three-member Sand Village team.

After the three members of the Sand Village team, two more ninjas from the Iwagakure came over.
The leader was a strong man with a round face. He wore a red Iwagakure uniform, a brown vest, and an Iwagakure forehead protector.

Next to him was a man with red hair, wearing a brown vest, a purple monk's uniform, and a beard.

Uchiha Ci also recognized these two people.
One is the son of the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, who can kill a flying tailed beast with one punch and turn it into a golden horn. He can also suppress the Outer Path Demon Statue and the Ten-Tails with the Earth Style: Mountain Earth Technique.

loess!

The other one is the Four-tailed Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, a powerful ninja who can use the power of the tailed beasts to fuse his own bloodline limit, Lava Release, Lao Zi!

"No. This group of people almost killed the Raikage. Do you think they are here to kill the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning?"

"So, to assassinate a daimyo, we have to queue up, right?"

Uchiha Ci turned his head and looked at Scorpion with shock.

"Let's go, Yanzu, this troublesome old woman is here too."

Scorpion frowned, turned around, and gave Uchiha Ci a look, signaling Uchiha Ci and the other two to follow him.
"The last time I came to Yunming City, I had a place to stay in the city. Come with me there first."

Being called Yanzu made Uchiha Ci feel comfortable, but he soon discovered the bright spot in Scorpion's words.
"Wait, you've been here?"

"Then why don't you know the way?"

Of course, Xie couldn't say that he had captured someone to lead the way last time. He had never walked such a long distance before, so he was improving Fei Liu Hu all the way, trying to build a puppet for transportation.
At this moment, he was furious and glared at Uchiha Ci.
"Shut up!"

Miyashiro En happily followed with his daughter in his arms, and gave Scorpion a strange look.

"Tsk tsk, these days' ninjas, after coming here once, they don't even recognize the road."

Hey~ It seems that he is still in touch with the times.
At least, he can remember the road he has walked once.

"You shut up too, old fogy!"
