Chapter 68: Destitute
Jing Zang chased for a while, falling from the sky, and the white samurai took the opportunity to pull away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Chixia asked, "Why don't you fly?" Jing Zang smiled bitterly, "My chakra is not enough, I dare not exhaust the chakra, I am afraid that there will be a battle soon." Relying on Jing Zang's guidance, the five people still chased after each other, and found that the samurai in the sky had fallen to the broken temple in front of them.
When the crowd arrived, there was no trace of the samurai. Ning Ci opened his eyes, "I can't see it." Everyone was taken aback, "How is it possible?" Ning Ci was sure that there was no breath of people here, "At least there is no breath of a living person." Naruto sweated on his head, "Why are you making up for this!" Tian Tian is proficient in hidden weapons, and his ears are very good, and he hears a subtle voice.
At this time, the door of the ruined temple in front opened. The white cursed samurai appeared, and Tian Tian and Chixia were dumbfounded. Naruto was terrified and blamed Ninji, "Didn't you say that there was no breath of people?" Ninji said, "I just said there are no living people." Jing Zang shouted, "Be careful!" The white samurai jumped in front of everyone, and everyone was startled and ready for battle. Frightened, Naruto threw a bunch of kunai and hit the samurai.
With a scolding scold, Tian Tian opened the scroll, took out the nunchucks, spun and threw them, and hit the cursed samurai in the neck. The samurai's head broke and flew out with the nunchucks. The cursed samurai's body still walked forward, and Naruto yelled in fright. Jing Zang approached and launched a quick attack, "Konoha Fluid Technique, Rouyun Palm!" Jingzang's Rouyun Palm was finally completed, and the glittering water flow surrounded his hands and feet, which could inflict maximum damage on the enemy. Under the fierce attack of the Rouyun Palm, the cursed warrior was hit in succession, and then disintegrated automatically, and his armor and clothes fell to the ground in pieces.
Naruto was overjoyed, "Great, I'm going to expose his true colors!" Crystal Zang felt that something was wrong, and felt that he hadn't hit the other party's entity, so he and Naruto took a closer look, but the armor was all empty. Jing Zang said, "That is, there is no one in there at all, no wonder there is no reaction when I hit my Rouyun palm." Naruto's face turned blue and exclaimed, "This is a real ghost!" Chinatsu's palms covering the mountain and sea giant sword were all covered in cold sweat, "How can this be?"
Qiandao took everyone to Meng Zong's mansion, and Jingzang saw that there was still a calligraphy of "Desire to be poor", and the decoration in the house was very simple, but it revealed a kind of atmosphere. Tian Tian thought that Meng Zong's mansion must be splendid, but he was naturally disappointed. Jing Zang said, "This Lord Meng Zong has great ambitions and great ambitions!" Qian Xia asked, "Why? Jing Zang said, "The next sentence of [Wanting to be Poor] is [Go to the next level]. Only then did a few people understand, and Ning Ci said in a low voice, "You guys are quiet." ā
Qiandao smiled, "It doesn't matter, Lord Meng Zong is a great man who is honest and honest, so he lives a simple life. "Naruto still thinks that Meng Zong's residence is too shabby. As he spoke, a tall old monk walked in with a smile, "It's really shabby and embarrassing!"
Thousands of islands in front of the salute, it turned out that this was the high monk Meng Zong. Naruto was surprised, "He looks like an uncle selling balls on the street!" Ningji, Tiantian, and Qianxia all bowed down and saluted, only Naruto shouted, but Jingzang carefully observed this Lord Mengzong. Meng Zong smiled, "Am I really like an uncle who sells balls?" Ning Ji scolded the two, and Jing Zang and Naruto had no choice but to bow down. Meng Zong smiled, "Don't be so serious, just be casual." ā
Subsequently, Meng Zong asked about the situation of everyone, and Qiandao introduced 5 people in turn. Meng Zong turned to ask about the situation of the cursed warrior that appeared in the Hongming Mansion last night, "I heard that you fought last night, right?" Ning Ci nodded, Meng Zong asked if he knew the true face of the cursed warrior, Naruto exclaimed, "It's really a ghost!" Ning Ji stopped, "Don't jump to conclusions." "Naruto's reason is that the cursed samurai suddenly appeared and could fly freely in the sky, so it must be a ghost.
Tian Tian also agreed, "If you are hit by my nunchucks, you can still move if your head falls off." Chixia also said, "And the armor is empty." Jing Zang also felt that the situation last night was a bit unbelievable, "But maybe we don't know how to do it." Ning Ci said, "No matter how strange things are, there is always a messenger behind them. We'll be sure to look into this thoroughly. Meng Zong smiled, "Then I'll rest assured." ā
Meng Zong said that the daimyo had just succeeded him, and the people's hearts were unstable, please Ning Ci dispel these bad rumors as soon as possible, and bowed down, "Please!" Seeing Meng Zong so condescending, everyone was very surprised, obviously the current situation in the country of birds is very bad. Leaving Meng Zong's mansion, Qiandao invited 5 people to eat grilled chicken wings. Naruto had a good impression of Meng Zong, "It's so nice to have this big eye!" Thousand Island smugly, "Of course, it was Meng Zong-sama who adopted me since I was a child and made me my retinue." ā
In Ning Ci's opinion, it is normal for the new famous son to inherit his father's business, and with the guardianship of the virtuous and respected Meng Zong, it should be very stable. Tian Tian immediately realized, "But why are there rumors that the former daimyo was murdered?" Qianxia said, "Presumably someone is dissatisfied with this succession." "Qiandao thinks that the most suspicious thing is Hongming. Jing Zang frowned, "I always feel that something is wrong. ā
Tian Tian also said, "That's right, why did the cursed warrior appear in his own mansion?" Ning Ci said, "I guess I want to deceive everyone." Naruto immediately said, "It must be so." Okay, let's hurry up. Naruto shouted to catch Hongming, and everyone looked at him like fools.
Jing Zang scolded, "Stupid, how can you arrest someone without evidence! No speculation can be relied upon until there is evidence. Naruto took a break, "It's boring, what do you say?" Jing Zang suggested, "Let's go meet the Daimyo Sagi-sama first and hear what he has to say." Qiandao was a little helpless, "But Lord Heron said that he couldn't see anyone. ā
Qiandao took Naruto and they came to Lord Mengzong's house, and found that Mengzong was a low-key person who lived a simple life, so Ningji and they deduced that the matter of the white cursed samurai might be related to Lord Hongming, but considering that there was no evidence to accuse Lord Hongming, Ningji proposed that it would be better to meet Lord Daimyo Heron first, but Qiandao rejected Ningji's proposal on the grounds that Lord Heron did not want to see people.
Naruto pouted at Chishima, "Do you want to find a way to arrange it, aren't you friends with **?" Chinatsu's face turned red, "Idiot, that's called a childhood sweetheart, it's really vulgar!" Jing Zang smiled, "That's what a dead friend means." Usually, it is called a childhood sweetheart between boyfriends and girlfriends who have played since childhood. ā
However, Ning Ci and the others did not give up, they came to a place that was very important to Lord Lu, and waited for Lord Lu's arrival. Under the arrangement of the Thousand Islands, everyone dived into the grass by the lake, and there were egrets perched and chirping in the lake. It turns out that this is a place where the Kuril Island, the heron, and the toki often come to play when they were young, and the heron often comes by itself. As luck would have it, the egrets flew up, and the heron's convoy drove over. Sitting in the car, everyone saw the appearance of the heron, which was very delicate and handsome. Tian Tian blushed and praised in a low voice, "It's quite handsome." ā
The heron sits in the car, watching the migratory birds and the lake. After a while, Heron pulls out a stagnant pocket watch from her bosom and plunges into memory. Kuril believes that the heron is missing his sister Toki. Jing Zang suddenly noticed that there was something abnormal in the lake water, and hurriedly said, "Ning Ci, there is movement underwater." Ning Ci was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened his eyes, "Be careful, the enemy is in the water!" As he spoke, he jumped up and threw kunai, shooting down the shuriken that the enemy shot out of the water.
Jing Zang also moved, "There are 6 enemies!" and jumped into the lake as he spoke, "Water escape, water flow technique!" Several streams of water rushed out and entangled the three enemies. Three other enemies found out badly and rushed to the shore with long knives in hand. The heron's guards shouted, "There are assassins!" and drew their swords to defend the oxcart.
Naruto, Ninji, and Tian Tian struck one after another, repelling the three enemies, and Chinatsu pulled out her giant sword to block the ox cart. Jing Zang suddenly leaped out of the water, and the surface of the lake appeared red, apparently having eliminated the enemy in the water. The three enemies on the shore sensed that something was wrong and suddenly turned around and jumped into the water, Naruto shouted, "Don't try to escape!" and immediately jumped to the surface of the water in pursuit. Crystal soared into the air, grabbing Naruto and leaping onto the shore.
Naruto said angrily, "Jingzang, what the hell are you doing!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shocking explosion on the water, and a huge wave of water rose into the sky. Tian Tian exclaimed, "It's a detonation charm in the water!" Jing Zang put down Naruto and quickly sealed, "Water escape, water array wall!" The huge water wall rose up, blocking the impact of the water waves. The water flow gradually returned to calm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Qianxia praised, "Jingzang, the speed of your seal is getting faster and faster. ā
But as soon as the heron-sama arrived, he was attacked by unknown people, who were they and why did they attack the heron-sama?
Ning Ci said, "It was really dangerous just now, but fortunately, Jing Zang found out in time that the enemy had arranged a detonation charm. Jing Zang smiled, "The actions in the water can't hide from me." Naruto wiped his sweat and got up from the ground, "It's so dangerous!" and then complained about Crystal Zang, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Crystal Zang laughed, "I also killed those three enemies with the Water Blade only to find that the lake was surrounded by detonation charms. Qiandao calmed the ox cart and came to the heron, "Lord Egret, are you alright?" and the heron nodded, "It's okay." Chishima breathed a sigh of relief and introduced, "These five are ninjas from Konoha who are here to investigate the true face of the White Cursed Samurai. ā
Lu sneered, "Do you mean by Meng Zong?" Qiandao hurriedly explained, all this was for the sake of Lu's safety, "If they hadn't been there just now......" Ludu interrupted Qiandao, "Stop!" Qiandao had no choice but to apologize. Naruto was upset and spoke for Qianji, "If it weren't for Qiandao's sincerity, Konoha wouldn't have accepted such a commissioned task for that money. ā
Lu sneered, "It's really annoying, who wants you to be kind and gracious!" Jingzang asked, "You're at least friends, right? Is this the attitude you should have towards a friend?" Lu sneered, "Friendship is a thing of the past." I'm a big name now, he's just a small surname! We're standing in two different worlds now. ā
Kuril was a little sad, and Naruto was furious, "You say it again." Guy who tramples on friendship casually, I have to beat him up!" Jing Zang and Ning Ji hurriedly grabbed Naruto and told him not to be impulsive. Naruto yelled and yelled, he had to teach Egret a lesson. Tiantian said, "Stupid, people are big names!" Qianxia also said, "You have a bit of a brain, it will cause disputes between the two countries." ā
Heron took off her shuriken that fell on the car and whispered, "If only you stabbed me in the neck just now...... With that, Heron dropped her shuriken and ordered to set off for home. Looking at the departing convoy, Naruto was annoyed, "He thinks he's an elder!" Jing Zang said strangely, "It seems that this daimyo is also dissatisfied with Meng Zong!"
Kuril asks everyone to forgive Heron, "He wasn't like this before." Naruto asked, "Aren't you angry that he mocked you like this?" There will come a time when he will be the same again, kind and kind. Naruto dismissed, "Not necessarily. Jing Zang sighed, "It's a blessing for Lu to have a friend like you." ā
Picking up the shuriken on the ground every day, "It's a rare shape!" Chinatsu nodded, "It's not the same as what we usually use." Qiandao took a look and was taken aback. Ninji asked, "Qianji, have you ever seen a shuriken like this?" Although there are no ninjas in the country of birds, there are guards who have received special training. According to the Kuriles, this weapon is unique to the Guards, and the one who directly commands the Guards is the strategist Hongming.
Ning Ci led everyone to approach the Hongming Mansion, ready to look for evidence. Ning Ci speculated that Hong Ming used the white curse samurai to deceive people, and then provoked the relationship between Lu and Meng Zong, but Meng Zong sent someone to find the Konoha ninja, and Hong Ming saw that the matter was close to being exposed, so he came up with the idea of assassinating the heron. Jing Zang felt that things were too simple, but he didn't remember the process of this side plot, so he had to follow Ning Ci's arrangement and didn't act rashly.
In the evening, Tian Tian found a masked man who was suspected of being red and went out alone, and everyone was even more suspicious, so they followed. Everyone followed Hongming to the ruined temple where they caught up with the white cursed samurai that day, and Qianxia whispered, "Things are a little strange." "When Hongming came to the ruined temple, the door opened, and the white-armored warrior appeared. Ning Ci opened his eyes and saw the clue. Hongming took off his mask and looked at the white samurai in surprise.
Naruto couldn't hold it back, and rushed out, unashamedly trying to expose Hongming, but Ningji and the others couldn't stop it, so they had to show up together. Naruto shouted an accusation, "The one who manipulated the White Cursed Samurai behind his back is you!" The White Samurai drew his sword and rushed over and slashed at Naruto, who hurriedly backed away. Chixia scolded and brandished the mountain and sea sword to block the white samurai's long sword. Ningji shot kunai, but the white samurai waved his bracers to block it. Tian shoots two detonating charms and hits the samurai. After the explosion, the white samurai still stood.
