Escape From Konoha

"...The important facilities such as the school and the hospital in the village are seriously dilapidated. Therefore, Master Xingying hopes that Your Excellency Daimyo can add 30% of the budget this year to develop Xingren Village."

Wearing a forehead guard engraved with the 'Pentagon Star' emblem, the ninja from Xing Ninja Village knelt on one knee in the room, with his head bowed deeply, and said these words.

Listening to the speech of this star ninja in the conference room, the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo touched his chin lightly, with a thoughtful expression.

Which woman is going to come over to serve the bed tonight? He was thinking about it in his mind.

There are six people sitting under the Xiongzhiguo, all of whom are state officials of the Xiongzhiguo. They also have a peaceful expression of the old gods, as if they are seriously considering what the Xingren said.

In this way, about half a minute passed in the conference room, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere is also slightly stagnant, giving people a feeling of suffocation that is difficult to breathe.

Xing Ren, who was kneeling there on one knee, rolled his throat nervously, and couldn't help reminding the exit:

"Well, Your Excellency, this year's budget matter..."

"Oh, the budget..."

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo suddenly remembered something, and responded to Xingren in a nonchalant way.

"Yes."

Although very angry, these people in the conference room do hold the economic lifeline of Xingren Village.

If a ninja village wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of huge funds.

Over the years, Star Ninja Village has been getting poorer and weaker because of the lack of material.

"You just said... How much has the increase been?"

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo wanted to confirm it again, to see if he had heard correctly.

"Increase by 30%."

In fact, Xingren also knew that Daimyo and other important officials of the country did not listen carefully to the appeals of him and Xingren Village.

What these people are thinking at the moment is nothing more than such a boring meeting, why doesn't it end sooner.

Before the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo could speak, another official spoke.

"As far as I know, the military power of Star Ninja Village has declined severely in recent years. The number of Zhongnin and Jnin produced every year is very small, less than 20% of the previous ones. If you don't show decent results, we will It is difficult to inject capital into Star Ninja Village. If the money invested does not get a corresponding return, then you must choose carefully."

"However, it is precisely because of insufficient funds that the birth rate of chunin and jounin in the village has decreased."

"Then let's take a look at some results first."

"But that requires a lot of supplies."

"That's why I said that we can invest funds only if you show results. The Bear Kingdom is a small country, and it is our consistent style to spend the remaining funds wisely. As long as you make good enough results, we will naturally Willing to inject capital into Star Ninja Village."

Xing Ren knew that this official did not intend to manage the life and death of Xing Ren Village.

He looked at the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo again, and the other party began to wander into the sky again.

"Your Majesty, what is your decision?"

In any case, the daimyo is the one who really calls the shots.

As long as he can agree, the matter will be more than half successful.

"Increase the budget by 30%...Well, this is not an easy task. Well, you go back and tell the third generation of Xingying, and we will come up with a charter as soon as possible and give him a satisfactory answer."

Xiong Zhiguo said to Xingren seriously.

"But…"

"Okay, that's it. You go back first. After all, the 30% increase in budget is not a small number, is it?"

Daimyo Xiongzhi Kun covered half of his face with a folding fan, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Xing Ren was about to say something when several icy breaths shot from the corner of the room, completely covering his body.

Xing couldn't help but tremble, being watched.

There are at least a few ninjas secretly watching his every move, secretly releasing murderous intent on him.

If he dared to speak again, his head would fall to the ground in the next moment.

That's what the ninjas lurking in the dark told him.

"Yes, I understand. Please make a decision as soon as possible, my lords."

Xing Ren gritted his teeth in humiliation, and exited the conference room in embarrassment.

The daimyo and all the officials watched Hoshino leave, and they didn't know who made a sneer.

"Star Ninja Village is really getting worse and worse. The domestic bandits have not been cleaned up, and they want to increase this year's budget. Where does it come from?"

"That's right, it's outrageous, increasing the budget by 30%, isn't it killing us?"

"It's so annoying trying to increase the budget every year, can't you just shut them up once and for all?"

Other officials also chimed in, expressing their dissatisfaction one after another.

The daimyo Xiong Zhiguo coughed and quieted the meeting room.

The officials looked to the daimyo, waiting for him to speak.

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo put down the folding fan in his hand and said, "It's nothing to add 30% to their budget. If everyone gathers together, they can still squeeze out."

"You mean to agree to their request?"

One official was slightly dissatisfied.

Although Star Ninja Village is the military guarantee of the Bear Kingdom, the Bear Kingdom does not need to expand its territory. It is sandwiched between the two big countries, the Land of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Bear only needs to be content with the status quo.

If too much military expenditure is given to Star Ninja Village, it is estimated that the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind will also have opinions.

Unlike the neutral country of the ghost country, the bear country is not a neutral country. Once the country's ninja village becomes strong, it is likely to be targeted by a big country.

They have seen with their own eyes how the Kingdom of Rain fell.

A small country that has been involved in a war by a big country is so sad and powerless no matter when you look at it.

However, in the face of the incomparably powerful five major countries, what can be done?

The highest class in the ninja world has been established since the establishment of the one country, one village system.

In the past, a small country was not incapable of fighting against a big country, but now it relies on the ninja village for its military strength.

From this point of view, they are more resentful of the ninja gods who pioneered the one country, one village system.

A big country with a vast land, coupled with an extremely powerful ninja village, can be said to further squeeze the living space of a small country.

Furthermore, I don't want to give too much support to vulgar ninjas.

Who knows if the desire of Xingren Village will expand after the extra military expenditures are given, thus threatening their power and status.

They, who have amassed more than 90% of Xiong Country's wealth, are not willing to do this kind of business that they think is worthless.

They don't need Star Ninja Village to expand their territory, they only need them to be honest and content with the status quo, which is the greatest support they can give.

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, listen to me. It is no problem to increase their budget by 30%, but I have heard some bad rumors recently."

"Bad rumors? How to say?"

"Hoshi Ninja Village seems to be in collusion with officials from other countries."

Speaking of this, Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo's face was slightly gloomy, extremely dignified.

"What?"

The officials all opened their mouths wide and looked at the name of Xiong Zhiguo in disbelief, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"This is a letter written by Sandai Xingying to officials of other countries a few days ago, which was intercepted by my subordinates. It is written by Sandai Xingying and the official seal of Xingren Village."

The daimyo solemnly took out a letter from his pocket, asked the waiter next to him to take it, and handed it to the six officials below for them to read in turn.

Opening the letter with suspicion, all the officials present read it very carefully.

The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and the more gloomy and dignified the expression on my face.

Although Star Ninja Village has not yet expressed the idea of ​​rebellion, secretly colluding with officials from other countries undoubtedly violated the interests of the Xiong Kingdom.

This kind of thing must be stopped.

It would not be a good thing for Xiong Zhiguo if Xingren Village was instigated by other countries.

Worse, the Kingdom of Bears might perish because of this.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Xingren Village really intends to rebel.

The handwriting on the letter is indeed exactly the same as the three generations of Hoshikage, and it also has the official seal of Xing Ninja Village, which is difficult for outsiders to copy... However, ninjas cannot be measured by common sense.

Forging the handwriting is not difficult. As for the official seal, with the ability of Xiong Zhiguo daimyo, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the three generations of Xingying, it is equally simple to get the eyeliner of Xingren Village.

They had their own calculations in their hearts, and nine out of ten this letter was faked by the name of Xiong Zhiguo, and the scheme was extremely clumsy.

However, they all understand that this doesn't require any clever tricks, and the most important thing is to hit the theme directly.

What they saw was an ambitious Daimyo of the Bear Country who wanted to swallow Hoshino Village in one go.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, so it doesn't matter whether the strategy is poor or brilliant, what matters is the attitude of Xiong Zhiguo Daimyo at the moment.

All the officials looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and no one spoke first.

The atmosphere in the conference room fell silent.

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo knew what these people were worried about, but his plan had reached such a point that it was too late to withdraw.

"Open the skylight and tell the truth, I need your assistance. Imagine the benefits after this is done."

A ninja village completely dominated by their will... All the officials fantasized with great excitement.

"But the agreement..."

One official was concerned.

The one country one village system was established because of the so-called 'contract'.

The daimyo and nobles provide funds for the development of Ninja Village, and Ninja Village will take the initiative to protect the stability of the country when it receives funds.

And neither party shall exceed its authority.

"Have we done anything?"

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo put down the folding fan in his hand, and looked at everyone with doubts.

All the officials suddenly realized.

That's right, they didn't do anything, and the one-country-one-village contract naturally couldn't sanction them.

What's more, they are the highest-ranking people in this country. Besides the big countries, who can really sanction them?

The so-called rules were originally a tool they used to enslave the lower classes.

Therefore, the bear country daimyo who dared to propose this plan must have already let his own people penetrate into the core of Xing Ninja Village.

◎

"Long time no see, my lord."

The person who met Xiong Zhiguo daimyo in private was Jonin Red Star who sneaked out from Hoshinin Village.

He spoke with an attitude familiar with the name of Xiong Guoguo.

But from his slightly respectful tone, it is not difficult to hear that when the two get along, the name of the country of Xiong dominates.

As a daimyo of a country, he controls most of a country's wealth, including power.

The power in the hands of the daimyo is not just soldiers composed of ordinary people, they have also secretly cultivated trusted ninjas to serve as their own guards.

Hong Xing also vaguely sensed that there were at least six ninjas lurking in an unknown corner of this luxurious room.

Two of them have a strong aura, and they are undoubtedly Jonin.

"Yeah, it's been a long time. You came here this time, didn't you attract the attention of Sandai Xingying?"

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo held a folding fan in his hand and stared at Red Star closely.

"There are two of my partners in Star Ninja Village who are covering for me, and they are also supporters of the plan."

Red Star said.

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo smiled slightly: "You are still so careful and reliable in doing things, which reminds me of the scene when you used to work on my side."

Red Star also misses that time quite a lot.

When he was young, at the request of the village, he served as the guard of the Daimyo of the Bear Country for a period of time.

It was also at that time that he took refuge in the Daimyo of the Bear Country.

Because the same people will be attracted.

Both of them are ambitious people.

The daimyo of the Xiong Country wants to expand the territory and become the hero of a generation.

And he wants to gain the ruling power of Star Ninja Village, and use the "star" to enhance the combat effectiveness of Star Ninja Village, so as to break the deadlock of the five major ninja villages monopolizing the task market, and lead Star Ninja Village to a higher position.

Because of this, he looked down on the conservative three generations of stars.

An old man in the old age, his thoughts and will have long been out of touch with this era.

"When is your lord going to do it?"

Red Star asked impatiently.

"The matter is not so urgent, is it?"

"No, I'm very worried that the third generation of Xingying will pass on the position of the next Xingying to Xia Ri."

"Xia Ri? I've heard of her, she seems to be a very good ninja in Xingnin Village."

All the high-end combat power of Star Ninja Village is clearly known by the name of Xiong Zhiguo.

The female Jōnin named "Xia Ri" is the number one master in Xing Nin Village.

Her late husband, Yinghuo, was also a senior ninja of Xingren Village. Both husband and wife used to be famous figures in Xingren Village, and their influence in Xingren Village was extraordinary.

"Yes, she is one of the few jonin in the village who has practiced the 'Peacock Art' to the highest level, and she is a bit stronger than me. According to my speculation, I am afraid that the third generation of Hoshikage may not be her opponent."

Red Star said so.

"Let her disappear."

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo's eyes turned cold.

A high-strength ninja who does not belong to his side, it is more reassuring to kill him as soon as possible.

"This is easy to do. Xia Ri has a son, just use her son as a threat. But before that, you have to get rid of the three generations of Xingying first, and then deal with Xia Ri slowly."

Red Star expressed his opinion.

Although Xia Ri's strength is strong, but it is easy to be tied down by family affection, and it is easier to deal with than the three generations of Xingying.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is not in a hurry to deal with Xia Ri.

In the cruel ninja world, having feelings means being closer to death.

Only those who are ruthless and desireless, and not moved by anything, can be called ninjas.

"At that time, she will be handed over to you to deal with. As for the candidate to deal with the third generation of Xingying, I have already found someone."

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo gave Red Star a meaningful look.

A ninja who has ambitions and cannot be a perfect tool seems to be out of hand.

After hearing this, Hong Xing was slightly shocked.

In the room, the two looked at each other with evil intentions.

◎

"Master Ninja, what does the outside world look like?"

Princess Zhuji, who was in the courtyard today, started talking to herself again.

Maybe it's because he seldom had contact with existences like ninjas in the past.

Compared with ninjas, most of the guards around her in the past were samurai.

It is said that samurai are now a downcast class eliminated by ninjas.

As far back as more than a hundred years ago, the status of samurai was higher than that of ninjas. They were loyal to their lords, opened up territories for the lord, and defended one side.

At that time, the samurai can also be said to be a symbol of honor.

There was no sound coming from her side, even so, Zhu Ji knew that the ninja-sama was by her side, protecting her safety at all times.

This reassuring feeling has never been experienced before.

I couldn't help thinking of that day, the scene where I almost fell into the pond, it was really embarrassing.

Zhuji lowered her head slightly, as if she was seriously looking for ants on the ground, counting how many there were.

For Princess Zhuji talking to herself, Chi Ying has long been used to it these days.

For him, protecting anyone is not important, the important thing is to complete the task assigned to him by Baishi.

Whether it is to protect the daimyo of the bear country or the princess who has a problem with her mind, it is just a task assigned by Lord Shiraishi.

As long as it is a mission, he has the mission to complete, even if he tries his best to sacrifice his life, he will not hesitate to do so.

"I heard people say that there are always wars outside... If there is a war, many people will die."

Princess Zhuji had a sad look on her face.

Chi Ying felt strange, since he had never seen the real appearance of war, why did he consciously show such a lamenting expression.

Women are really strange.

Moreover, war dead is common sense.

There are only three kinds of people who can survive the war.

One is a lucky person.

One is the one who struggles.

The last type is the strong one.

"I really want to go outside and see...the world is so small."

The world is not small, but the world she lives in is too small.

From childhood to adulthood, the number of times I have been out can be counted on the fingers. Most of the time, I faced the tall city wall and could only see the blue sky and white clouds.

Her world is made up of such a background.

Canaries raised in cages are only for viewing.

Chi Ying didn't take it seriously, the outside world was too dangerous, and the flowers in the greenhouse couldn't withstand the ravages of the outside world.

However, why should I care about this kind of problem?

The reason why he listened carefully to Princess Zhuji's soliloquy was just to pass the boring time.

"Speaking of which, why did Ninja-sama become a ninja? The past story must be very exciting."

As for life, she is limited to the scriptures she usually reads, but Zhu Ji also knows that stories and life are different.

There are no guards in this world who would protect her at the expense of their lives.

There is no such thing as romantic fairy-tale love.

Not everyone is kind and lovely.

Even the ninja-sama protects her, but only obeys orders.

However, if you deceive yourself like this, maybe you will feel better.

Still not hearing the sound, Princess Zhuji sighed.

Sure enough, it was still impossible to communicate with Mr. Ninja.

It's good to pass the boring time, but it seems rude to talk about other people's lives wantonly.

"..."

The red shadow in the dark, but Princess Zhuji's words evoked some memories about the past.

But that kind of memory is actually what he rejects the most.

His childhood was made up of exploitation, death, war and wandering.

Before meeting that adult, he couldn't even see the real world clearly. He was a wild dog living at the bottom, and could only bark at the desolate mountain dogs.

To a certain extent, a prominent nobleman like Princess Zhuji was the kind of person he hated the most.

These people always wear gorgeous and bright clothes, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and don't care about the lives of other people at all.

When in danger, they only scream in panic and need to wait for others to rescue them.

They are people from two worlds.

The task... I really want to finish it sooner. Chi Ying thought in his heart.

As long as he completes the task here quickly, he can be freed from here, and continue to follow behind that adult, becoming another shadow behind him.

At this moment, Chi Ying frowned suddenly.

Someone is approaching here.

At the gate of the courtyard, a neatly dressed messenger warrior appeared there.

◎

Kneeling down on one knee in front of the Daimyo of the Bear Kingdom, Chi Ying looked like a perfect tool man who was loyal to the order.

Xiong Zhiguo daimyo smiled and said: "Get up. I'm sorry to let you come here suddenly at this time."

Chi Ying stood up.

In the house, besides him and Daimyo Xiong Guo, there was another person.

Hoshi Ninja Murakami Ninja Akahoshi.

Chi Ying has seen this person's information, and he is a powerful Junin with extremely high strength in Xingnin Village.

While Chiying was looking at Hongxing, Hongxing was also looking at Chiying.

According to Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo, this person is the best candidate to assassinate the third generation of Hoshikage.

Can this young brat really do it?

It wasn't that Hongxing didn't believe it, but that Chiying was too young, he looked like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was no sharp aura in his whole body.

However, to be able to be trusted by the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo must be quite strong.

"Red Shadow, this is Red Star from Hoshino Village. Red Star, this is Red Star."

The name Xiong Zhiguo introduced the two of them.

Hong Xing nodded, stretched out his hand to Chi Ying and said, "Hello."

Chi Ying couldn't refuse, and reached out to Hong Xing.

Before Red Star could say anything, Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo had already spoken first: "Red Star, don't underestimate Chi Ying, he is a ninja with rare talents."

The daimyo of the Bear Country pretends to be mysterious.

Rare talent? Hongxing frowned slightly.

Soon, he understood.

Blood succession limit!

If it's the blood successor limit, this kid can't use common sense to judge. Hong Xing thought to himself.

"It seems that you, my lord, have really made a decision."

Red Star said regretfully.

Originally, he wanted to get rid of the third generation of Xingying himself, but he didn't expect that the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo had already arranged a candidate.

"Red Shadow has an excellent assassination ability. If you don't expect it, maybe even you can get rid of it."

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo laughed.

Threats... or warnings? interesting. Hong Xing secretly sneered in his heart.

"I see. Since the daimyo is so confident, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com, then, let this young man do the task of assassinating the three generations of Xingying. However, I also remind you that geniuses are always easy to die young. Daming, it’s better to be prepared with both hands.”

Hong Xing smiled pointedly, then bowed his head respectfully and said: "Then, please allow me to retire."

After finishing speaking, Hong Xing glanced at Chi Ying intentionally or unintentionally, and the moment he turned around, there was a murderous intent in his eyes, and he walked towards the door.

Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo didn't seem to understand Red Star's hidden words, so he casually made a haha, and joked to Chi Ying, "It seems that Red Star appreciates your talent, Chi Ying. At that time, you have to perform well. Okay, so that I can enjoy a good show."

Daimyo Xiong Zhikun covered half of his face with a folding fan, and laughed softly, in a great mood.

"yes."

Chi Ying doesn't care what the other party says, as long as he shows the attitude of a loyal dog.
