The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 214 Focus Power Pills, Different Hearts

When Rikimaru came to the gate of the village, he was also taken aback by the scene in front of him. He didn't expect that he was already late after being delayed for a while.

A dense group of people gathered together, most of them were wearing village ninja vests, standing neatly together, and some stood independently, looking a little out of place.

"Is this the ninja army I'm going to lead?"

Looking at these people, Li Wan felt a sense of pride in his heart. He even had the day to lead an army. This was something he had never thought about before.

But at a glance, he also saw a problem. The people he wanted to lead seemed to have a problem.

"Fujiwara Jominin."

Immediately after Rikimaru walked over, a person greeted him. This Rikimaru happened to know him. He was the village's Jonin, Nagotaro, who had been serving as Hokage's bodyguard before.

"Senior." Rikimaru called out very politely.

"You're welcome."

Nagotaro smiled slightly, "Fujiwara Jonin, this time the support troops have been assembled, including me, everyone will be under your unified command from now on, please give your order."

Rikimaru knew that it was the Third Hokage who was afraid that he would not be able to control the scene, so he sent a cronies to follow him, but he didn't care.

"Let me tell you a few words first."

When he walked in front of everyone, there was still a bit of discussion, but it immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at him curiously. Fujiwara Rikimaru has a good reputation in the village, but not many people have actually seen it. , he used to be alone.

Seeing this legendary character now, even those ninjas from big families are full of curiosity.

"Everyone, I believe that many people don't know me. I am Fujiwara Rikimaru. Fortunately, Hokage-sama valued me and served as the person in charge of this support force. To be honest, I am really sincere and fearful."

"You are all my seniors. In terms of age, there are many people who are my seniors and have more experience than me. Therefore, in the next time of fighting side by side, I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me. As long as I have done something If something is wrong, seniors, please point it out in time, boy, I am very grateful."

He has been a man for two lifetimes, but he really has never experienced this kind of speech. He has experienced the most, that is, introducing himself on the podium in front of dozens of people in the class. This is the first time for him to do this kind of scene.

But he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs running. He doesn't give exciting speeches, but just speaks some modest words, so the problem is still not big.

Rikimaru is 14 years old, and he has developed relatively well. At this age, his height is almost 1.7 meters. Although he looks a little immature, in this ninja world, he can already be regarded as a person who can stand on his own.

So even though they knew that Rikimaru was young, many people didn't think it was a problem, so what about being young?Genius doesn't depend on age.

In the ninja world, after all, strength speaks for itself, and Rikimaru's prestige is achieved with one punch and one kick, which is convincing enough.

"I believe you all know that our mission this time is to go to the Land of Water to support Senior Sannin and others, so the process will be very dangerous. There is no intelligence, no backup, and we are the only ones we can rely on."

"Although I am the person in charge this time, I am still inexperienced. Please support me. Only with your support can our business succeed. Here, Fujiwara Rikimaru, I am very grateful."

Facing everyone, he bent down and bowed deeply.

Rikimaru's sudden bow made everyone present stunned.

The culture of this world is similar to the island country in the previous life, with a strict hierarchy, and the same is true among ninjas. When performing tasks, the higher-level ninjas have absolute command over their subordinates.

As the commander-in-chief this time, Rikimaru was the leader of everyone, but now Rikimaru bowed to them, which simply subverted their imagination.

But after being stunned for a while, many people shouted excitedly at Riki, especially those ninjas who were born as commoners, who were even more moved and convinced Riki even more.

"Fujiwara Jonin, don't worry, we will fully support you."

"That's right, Master Fujiwara, you are our idol, of course we listen to you."

"........."

After these words, although it cannot be said that they have completely bought people's hearts, at least most people have a good impression of Li Wan. Before, many people were worried that Li Wan would not be able to lead the army to fight. Now it seems that even if it is this aspect Inexperienced, but at least the attitude is good, not a difficult object to get along with.

"This Fujiwara Rikimaru is quite good at buying people's hearts, which is a bit interesting."

Those ninjas from big families were also quite surprised. In their view, even if the ninjas at the bottom had great strength, they were nothing more than that. But now it seems that although Fujiwara Rikimaru may not be better than Namikaze Minato, he is also Absolutely not much difference.

"Zilai also took in two good disciples, and common people can still produce excellent talents."

For these family ninjas, Riki can show such an attitude, which is also the best result. At least they don't have to worry about Riki being the kind of person with high eyesight and low power, and they don't have to worry about inexplicable commands happening during the journey.

But there are also people who find Riki very unpleasant, for example, the old patriarch of the Hyuga clan.

Like the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan also sent people this time, but the number was not large, because more of them were brought to the north by the Hyuga Hizuki and Hyuga Hyuza brothers to confront Yunyin.

So this time, the leader of the Hyuga Clan is their old patriarch, that is, the brothers Hyuga Hyuzu and Hyuga Hyuga.

"Danzo said that this Fujiwara Rikimaru is very likely to be the murderer of my son. In that period of the Chunin exam, only this Fujiwara Rikimaru had the strength to kill my son without anyone noticing."

Several years have passed since the death of his youngest son, but he has never recovered from his grief, especially after he abdicated. When he was doing nothing, he would often think of his youngest son, and the thought of it made him even more sad.

Yesterday, Danzo took the initiative to find him, saying that Fujiwara Rikimaru was probably the murderer who killed his son.

At first he didn't believe it, but felt that Danzo was provoking, but Danzo told him a lot, including the fact that the Chunin Exam sent people to chase and kill Fujiwara Rikimaru.

Konoha's high-level officials sent people to kill ninjas from the same village, which is taboo in itself, and Danzo said it in front of him, which is enough to show the sincerity of the other party, which also made him shaken.

In particular, Danzo cited various examples and guesses. Thinking about his previous investigations, among the many ninjas who took the second exam that year, so far, there are not many people who have become talented, and Fujiwara Rikimaru, undoubtedly It's the best of them all.

As for the other ninjas, he didn't think anyone could kill his son. He didn't find any useful information before, but after Danzo's reminder, he also felt that Fujiwara Rikimaru was the most likely.

If it was a few years ago, even if Fujiwara Rikimaru had a close relationship with Jiraiya, he would definitely do everything possible to get rid of him.

But it's different now, Fujiwara Rikimaru has grown to the point that even he can't ignore it, and if he wants to kill Fujiwara Rikimaru, he must send out a strong lineup.

But he is no longer the head of the Hyuga clan, even if he still has power, the people he can command may not have much influence on Fujiwara Rikimaru at all.

If he asked other people to help, he knew that with the thoughts of those in the family, it was absolutely impossible to support him. To assassinate Fujiwara Rikimaru who was in full swing for the sake of a long-dead Hinata, unless he was stupid, he would never be able to help him.

The pain of losing his son was still there yesterday, it was impossible for him to swallow this breath.

"Fujiwara Rikimaru, if you really killed my son, I will definitely make you pay the price."

Riki didn't know that his words had aroused the approval of so many people, which made him very happy, at least it was a very good start.

After meeting several important personnel sent by the Third Hokage, including the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the old patriarch of the Hyuga clan, and others, Rikimaru gave the order to set off.

"set off!"

A group of 460 nine people, plus later Matt Kay, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu, is 470 people.

Under Rikimaru's order, more than 400 people set off at the same time and disappeared in front of Konoha's gate at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't until Rikimaru and the others left that the Third Hokage slowly appeared.

"It seems that the little guy Rikimaru is doing pretty well."

Smiling, the third generation took a puff of cigarette: "But this is just the beginning. Whether you can survive in the land of water is the real test. I hope you won't let me down."

This time was different from the previous battle against the Yansha coalition forces. At that time, the battlefield was in the Land of Fire, so he, Hokage, was able to be dispatched at the last moment.

But what we are going to now is the country of water. Once there, I am afraid that the war will be difficult to end in a few months. As the leader of the village, he certainly cannot leave the village for such a long time. At this critical moment, he must sit in command The village stabilizes the morale of the army.

As for the others, either they don't have the strength like Rikimaru, or they are old, so Fujiwara Rikimaru is the most suitable candidate.

But this is also a gamble, Fujiwara Rikimaru is good, but after all, he is still young, even if he behaves calmly, it still makes many people worry. It is good if he succeeds, but if he loses, he will have to bear tremendous pressure.

However, he still has more confidence in Riki. Even if Riki's command ability is mediocre, with his ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to track down Jiraiya and the others.

As long as the two sides meet, with the abilities of Ziraiya and the three of them, they should not be too passive even in the territory of the Kingdom of Water.
