The strongest soldier

The continuous actions made Sarutobi feel confused. Sarutobi was thinking, is it really worth it? The eldest brother's son is dead. The leader responsible for attacking the Ghost Hands is the eldest disciple, and he is also dead. His relatives around him have died in the battle one by one. What do you want? After such a big battle, where should the Koga ninjas go next? Sarutobi Zuo looked at Luo Zheng in confusion, his eyes full of expectation and hope.

After so many people died, Sarutobi didn't blame Luo Zheng at all. The decision was made by himself, and the mistake was caused by his own intelligence. Moreover, Luo Zheng led people to assist him and fought hard on the battlefield. Nothing was left behind. It was his fault that he didn't handle it well. It was precisely because of this that Sarutobi Saru's self-confidence was hit and he became hesitant.

"Yes, what should we do next?" Nobuko echoed from the side, her whole body covered in blood, her long hair hanging down, looking a little weird under the moonlight.

Luo Zheng and Lan Xue secretly exchanged a look and said: "The continuous attacks have dealt a blow to the power of the Ishii family. Although we have also suffered losses, there are no undead people on the way to the battle. If we give up and relax, we will only give the opponent a chance. When you have a chance to take a breather, you must keep up the chase and strike while the iron is hot. I believe you all understand this truth."

Sarutobi Saru is not stupid, he is also very shrewd, he just temporarily fell into the inner demon. After hearing Luo Zheng's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt like he had cleared the fog. When he saw what Nobuko was about to say, he waved his hand to stop him, and he was completely trapped. Thinking deeply, everyone knew that Sarutobi Saru was making an important decision, so they didn't interrupt and waited patiently.

After a while, Sarutobi Zuo's face gradually became firm, and he looked at Nobuko with a sharp look, as if he had made some important decision. Then he looked at Luo Zheng and said seriously: "You are right, I fired the bow without looking back. Arrow, if you want to survive and develop, death is inevitable. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it’s better to fight because our enemies will not let us go. In this case, let’s attack first.”

"Huh?" Nobuko looked at his father in surprise, and suddenly understood something. He looked at Luo Zheng and said, "The problem now is that Kyoto is in chaos. The government has been on high alert and mobilized forces to investigate. What should we do now? What’s appropriate?”

"This question is not difficult. What is our purpose?" Luo Zheng said calmly.

Sarutobi Zuo's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "Yes, we will act around our goals, hunt down the Ishii family, destroy the Iga ninjas and replace them. Therefore, our next target is still the Ishii family. Once those old people die, the Ishii family will Even if there is a big hole in the relationship network, the loss of strength is not small. If you give the opponent another fatal blow, you will probably fight back crazily, or even betray your relatives."

"Then it depends on what the goal of the counterattack is." Luo Zheng guided, asking Sarutobi Saru to play power forward to solve his own problems and complete the task. Why not?

"The kidnapping is to test the Ishii family's bottom line and destroy the Ishii family's emergency. The attack on that valley is to destroy the Ishii family's relationship network. Next, we can continue to attack the Ishii family's economy, or create a strong enemy for the Ishii family and disintegrate it. Their power." Sarutobi Saru said, his eyes sparkling.

"What is the specific goal?" Luo Zheng asked.

"Attack the palace." Sarutobi said coldly.

"Huh?" Luo Zheng looked at Sarutobi Saru in surprise. This guy's thinking suddenly seemed to jump and become more ruthless. Before, he had too many concerns and did not dare to attack the palace. Now he suddenly proposed this idea. What do you want to do? Luo Zheng secretly looked at Sarutobi Zuo warily and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Father, the palace is the object of our allegiance in the future. Once the people in the palace know that we did it, they will definitely not accept our allegiance in the future, and even send military police to chase them. This is not good for us." Nobuko reminded anxiously beside him. , eyes extremely solemn.

"The attack on the palace is fake, but the attack on the Ishii family is real. We attacked the palace secretly. The palace guards are all Iga ninjas, mainly the Ishii family. Once successful, it means that the Ishii family is unable to protect the palace. When the time comes, it will be easy for us to appear. Yes." Sarutobi explained seriously and looked at Luo Zheng.

"You want us to attack the palace?" Luo Zheng looked at Sarutobi Zuo in surprise and asked. Seeing Sarutobi Zuo nodding, he secretly became vigilant and vetoed without hesitation: "No, the matter is very important. I need to ask for instructions from home. But the possibility of passing it is very low. You should be clear about China’s national strategy, which focuses on stability and development and will not intervene in third-party battles, let alone attack other countries’ regimes.”

On the matter of cooperation, Luo Zheng has never completely trusted Sarutobi Saru. This has nothing to do with Sarutobi Saru's character. It's because Luo Zheng knows very well that his identity is sensitive and he must not leave anything to anyone, including Sarutobi. Sarutobi, in case something happens in the future, he will not do something like this to attack the palace stupidly. Even if he does it, he will not say it out loud. Even though the two of them are working closely together now, who knows whether Sarutobi Saru will do it in the future. A knife in the back?

Sarutobi Zuo didn't expect Luo Zheng to refuse, so he couldn't help but be startled. He quickly realized that he was indeed a little impatient. After thinking about it, he said: "We are still in charge of the attack on the palace. Can you help us in the dark, snipers?" It’s very important for us.”

Indirect help is not acceptable either. This is a matter of principle. Luo Zheng refused again without hesitation. In the case of the ghost club, Luo Zheng just let the ghost hand do it secretly because he was afraid of exposing Sarutobi Saru. Seeing Sarutobi Saru's expression Feeling embarrassed, Luo Zheng had an idea and said: "I know what you mean, attack the palace to prove that the Iga ninjas are incapable of protecting the palace, and then use certain dignitaries to give your emperor a blow, ban the Iga ninjas, and replace the Koga ninjas. Am I right?"

Sarutobi Zuo's face changed slightly, he looked at Luo Zheng and smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide anything from your eyes, and I won't hide it from you either. I do have this idea. Attacking the palace can distract the attention of relevant government departments to avoid detection. We can also prove that the Iga ninjas are not strong enough to kill two birds with one stone. What better plan do you have?"

"It is not difficult to implement this plan." Luo Zheng said calmly. He could refuse to attack the palace without hesitation, but when it came to making plans, Luo Zheng did not want to back down, lest he chill Sarutobi Zuo's heart. Affecting the cooperative relationship between the two parties, he continued: "You can kidnap the emperor's relatives or something. Stealing the emperor's important relatives under the eyes of the Iga ninjas can also play this role. It can also make the emperor feel scared and vent his anger on Iga. Congratulations to Ninja."

"It's also a way." Nobuko looked at his father approvingly and said. Sarutobi didn't decide immediately, but fell into deep thought.
