The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 213 Civilian Genius - Fujiwara Rikimaru

Coming out of the Hokage Building, Rikimaru still hadn't calmed down the shock in his heart.

He actually became the commander in command of a ninja army, which was really beyond his expectations.

It's just that he didn't have the slightest joy, instead he was a little awkward. Before, the high-level people in the village were jealous of him and didn't use him, but they only remembered him when they were in crisis and let him lead the army alone. Does this mean to make him feel grateful? ?

It wasn't that he was dark in his heart, it was the indifference he had experienced in the past half a year or so that made him understand many things.

"The Kingdom of Water? It looks like it will be a difficult battle."

Wuyin Village may not be as strong as Yanyin, but this village is more difficult to deal with than Yanyin and Sandyin. The ninjas in this village are extremely capable of individual combat.

And living in the country of water all year round, the use of the terrain must be far superior to their Konoha ninjas. If they really fight, in a one-on-one situation, Konoha's ninjas may not necessarily be opponents.

"This trip is not easy."

Rikimaru sighed quietly, Wuyin Village may not be as strong as Yanyin Village in strength, but in the land of the water country, it is definitely more difficult than the previous wars.

After returning home, Rikimaru looked at his happy mother who was busy in the kitchen, felt a little guilty, hesitated to speak.

It wasn't until after the meal that Rikimaru said that he was going to lead the army to the land of water.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yuzu panicked, and Rikiru felt very distressed by the panicked look.

"Mom, it's okay, take it easy, as a member of the village, I must also contribute to the village, this is unavoidable."

Holding his mother's hands tightly, Rikimaru persuaded softly.

Yuzu didn't say a word, and went straight back to her room, apparently not wanting her vulnerable side to be seen by Rikimaru.

But in the early morning of the next day, when Riki woke up and was about to leave, he saw the packed package in the living room, and he was very moved.

"Mom, don't worry, I will come back safely."

He knew that his mother must have been up all night, and she must be able to hear what he said, but he didn't want to come out and face the parting.

After Riki left, Yuzu walked out of the room, looked at the empty living room, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently.

"Come out, you've been squatting in front of my house for so long, aren't you tired, you guys?"

Rikimaru left the house, stopped before walking far, and said helplessly.

"Hey, I knew it, I couldn't hide it from Riki, and I insisted on coming up with such a bad idea."

Several figures came out from behind the building next to them cautiously, and one of the three looked helpless.

"Xuanjian, Shou, you two were brought here by Kaila, right?"

Riki was even more speechless: "Just for this matter, you waited at my door in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

"As for, of course as for."

Kai smiled and said to Li Wan that since he was rejected by Li Wan during the day yesterday, he has been inquiring about the news, especially knowing that the village is gathering manpower and preparing to go out, which makes him even more anxious.

In desperation, he came up with an idea, pulling Shiranui Genma and Ebisu to squat at the door of Rikimaru's house in the middle of the night, in order to wait for Rikimaru to be dispatched, and then act together with him.

Riki: "I said there is something wrong with the three of you? Do you know where I'm going this time?"

The three of them shook their heads. None of them came from big families, and they couldn't know the news of the village immediately. Otherwise, they wouldn't be squatting at the gate of Rikimaru's house, but would have found another way to join the frontline troops.

"We are going to the country of water this time. Going to fight in other countries is different from fighting at our own gates. It is too dangerous and not suitable for you. You should go back."

"What? Go to the Land of Water, great, I haven't been to the Land of Water yet, take me, take me."

Definitely going to the Land of Water, Kai became even more excited, and had no intention of retreating at all, and the same was true for Shiranui Genma.

But Ebisu was hesitant: "Kai, Genma, why don't we go back?"

"You bastard, why are you so timid?" Kai scolded Ebisu dissatisfied.

"Rikimaru, will you take us with you?"

Zhihuo Xuanjian is also quite moved, he is also a bit ambitious, he is not willing to live a simple life, and the best way to make achievements is to go to the battlefield.

Riki frowned and said, "What if I don't agree?"

"Then we will follow you all the time, wherever you go, we will go." Kai looked determined, and then he just laughed.

"If I want to get rid of you, you will never be able to catch up with me, and do you know that this time the village's expedition team is led by me, and I am the commander-in-chief, that is to say, as long as I don't agree, you don't want to join " Riki said.

"What? Rikimaru, you are the commander-in-chief this time? Great, why don't you take us with you?"

Both Matt Kai and Shiranui Genma were very happy and begged Rikimaru.

Of course Rikimaru didn't want to take the three of them with him, but seeing their expectant eyes, he hesitated.

This was affected by the Obito incident. He used to think that it was a very dangerous thing to let his friends go to the battlefield, but after the battle of Kannabi Bridge, he suddenly woke up and understood a little bit.

The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and waves. If you keep being the flowers in the greenhouse, it will not be a good thing.

After all, this is a ninja world full of dangers. As a ninja, you will encounter danger sooner or later, so you should not avoid risks.

"You really want to go?"

"Of course, of course I want to go."

Both Shiranui Genma and Matt Kai nodded repeatedly, but Ebisu looked hesitant. He was really a little scared, but he didn't want to disappoint his companions, so he could only bite the bullet and nod.

Riki said: "I can take you there, but I have to say it first, there is no friendship on the battlefield. If you go, you must obey my orders. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Be obedient, of course you are obedient, Rikimaru, as long as you let us follow, we will obey you and do what we say."

Both Kai and Shiranui Genma stretched out their hands to swear, expressing their firm attitude.

"Come on."

The appearance of these two people swearing is very serious. Although they are still young, they still possess the basic qualities of ninjas.

The three of Matt Kai happily followed behind Rikimaru, and finally their wishes came true.

With three followers, he quickly arrived at the gate of Muye Village.

At this time, the sky was still dark, but hundreds of ninjas stood in front of the gate in unison, chattering endlessly.

"I heard that the one leading us this time is the legendary boy genius, Fujiwara Rikimaru, is it true or not?"

"It's true. I heard it from the uncle of my second uncle's son who works in the Hokage Building. It can't be wrong."

"I've heard about Fujiwara Rikimaru a long time ago. He's the same as Minato-sama, but it's the pride of our civilian ninjas. It's great to be able to work under him."

"Yes, it is our honor to be able to serve under this lord."

"........."

The people talking about Rikimaru are all commoner ninjas, and they all admire Namikaze Minato and Fujiwara Rikimaru, two geniuses who rose from commoners.

However, their comments aroused the dissatisfaction of another group of people.

Outside the gate of Konoha, these ninjas are actually divided into two groups, one group is the ninjas of the civilian lineage, and the other group is the ninjas of family origin.

Fujiwara Rikimaru, who has prestige among civilian ninjas, has little prestige in the eyes of ninjas from these big families.

Of course, even if others don't care about Fujiwara Rikimaru very much, they won't openly offend them, but some people are different, for example, the Uchiha clan.

"Sure enough, they are a group of people who have never seen the world. It's just a Fujiwara Rikimaru. It's just a kid. It's so funny to be blown like this by you."

It was a ninja from the Uchiha clan who was talking, and he was full of disdain. As the No. [-] wealthy family in Konoha, the Uchiha clan didn't have such a big name. Now a Fujiwara Rikimaru actually rode on their heads, and he was naturally upset.

"What did you say?"

As soon as the Uchiha tribe spoke, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other ninjas. They didn't dare to get angry on the spot, but they still questioned very dissatisfied.

"What did I say, are you deaf? Can't you hear?" The Uchiha tribe still dismissed it.

"you."

"Forget it, don't argue with him, they are Uchiha."

The people next to them quickly grabbed the person who wanted to argue. The name of the Uchiha clan is still very frightening in Konoha, and ordinary people dare not offend them.

"Call me Uemura."

Among the crowd of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku saw the movement over there, his face was gloomy.

The Uchiha clansman who spoke just now was quickly brought in front of Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Uemura, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly became uneasy.

"Patriarch, did you call me?"

Uchiha Fugaku's tone was cold: "Who made you talk too much?"

Uchiha Uemura said nervously: "Patriarch, I, I'm just not angry, what's the ability of Fujiwara Rikimaru, this time you are going to do it yourself, it's fine if you don't let you be in charge, it's too bullying to let a kid lead the army."

"To shut up."

Uchiha Fugaku scolded angrily: "When is it your turn to say this? We went to the country of water this time not to fight for power, but for military exploits, so don't cause trouble for me everywhere, and pass it on, Fujiwara Rikimaru said Whatever, we will do it, and we must not violate it in the slightest."

"This."

"What's this, just follow orders."

Under Uchiha Fugaku's order, the people of the Uchiha clan really quieted down and stopped making a sound. The Uchiha clan didn't make a sound, and the others didn't make a sound. The bustling gate suddenly became quiet.

"Patriarch, although Uemura was reckless just now, what he said was true. Let us obey a brat, doesn't it take us too seriously?"

The other Uchiha clansmen are also secretly very dissatisfied with the decision of Konoha's high-level officials. They all know that Konoha's high-level officials are wary of their clan.

But in this war, the Uchiha clan contributed their efforts, but in the end they still failed to win. They couldn't even compare with a young boy, which made them really indignant.

"Stop talking nonsense and make trouble."

Uchiha Fugaku glared at the person who spoke, and then said: "It's not as simple as you think, just follow my orders, and don't think about other things."

Do you think Uchiha Fugaku is not angry?But what's the use of being angry?Who made the impact of that incident decades ago still exist? The Uchiha clan was not taken seriously. The reason why he urgently wanted to participate in the war was to change the impression of his clan in the village?
If there is another incident at this time, it will only be more detrimental to the Uchiha clan.

Besides, he has met Fujiwara Rikimaru many times, and he knows that this boy is different from other boys, and his strength is also very strong. In addition to his identity, Jiraiya's disciple, three generations of direct descendants, became the person in charge this time. Man, no surprise.

The other clansmen are still immersed in their clan's past prestige, completely unaware that their clan is already on the edge of a cliff, and instead take pride in the Konoha garrison.

But Uchiha Fugaku is very clear that their family has completely lost their former glory, especially in Konoha Village, they have been suppressed too much, and their reputation in the village is not good.

He needs to use a new image to change the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the past. Naturally, he doesn't want to conflict with Fujiwara Rikimaru, so he restricts his clansmen so that they don't make trouble.
