CHAPTER XVIII

Hearing Sayuri say this, Shui Wuyueqi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord," Sayuri said hurriedly, "because the income of the clan has been getting smaller and smaller in the past two years, and the patriarch needs to hand over so many materials to the Ghost Lantern Clan every year, resulting in ......"

"As a result, some people in the clan can't even afford the basic necessities of life?" Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sayuri couldn't help but calm down when she saw the appearance of Shui Wuyueqi. At this time, it was the time for Shui Wuyue to subdue these people. But looking at Shui Wuyueqi's appearance, he didn't seem to feel very excited.

Shui Wuyueqi knocked on the desk and asked Sayuri slowly, "Sayuri, do you think the clan doesn't give these people materials." ”

"That's ...... of course"

Sayuri agreed without thinking.

But she seemed to think of something again, and her voice stopped abruptly. After a while, Fang continued: "My lord, you mean ......?"

Shui Wuyueqi shook his head, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether the clan did this on purpose or not, let's not interfere yet. You go and prepare, and we'll immediately set off to investigate Soichiro's affairs. ”

In the end, Shui Wuyueqi still did not come forward to appease those who made trouble. Since these people can't get the supplies, they are the lowest group of people in the clan. In addition, now that Soichiro has reappeared, the danger represented behind this really makes it difficult for Shui Wuyueqi to pick up this hot potato.

Flowers are beautiful, but stingers are also a headache.

After a while, someone came to convey the patriarch's latest order: Ling Youzhen dealt with the incident, and Mizuki Yueqi led the team to investigate the Soichiro incident alone.

After listening to the messenger, Shui Wuyueqi quietly accepted the order. After the messenger left, Shui Wuyueqi looked at Sayuri and said calmly, "It seems that my father doesn't want me to get involved in this." ”

Sayuri felt the mockery in Shui Wuyueqi's tone, bowed her head and replied, "Although there are many benefits in this matter, the harm is also great. The patriarch didn't let the adults deal with this matter, so he probably had the intention of protecting the adults. ”

Shui Wuyue Qi was noncommittal to Sayuri's words, and said, "Since my father is urging me to leave as soon as possible, then I'll set off as soon as possible." ”

Soichiro reappeared this time, and the identity he used was naturally not the same as before. In fact, as soon as the "Seven Ninja Swords" appeared, the Shui Wuyue clan had already discovered that something was wrong and had already begun an investigation into him.

Judging from the current investigation results, Soichiro's current identity is a distant relative of the Ghost Lantern Clan, and his predecessor was a well-known samurai, and he later came to Fog Hidden Village at the invitation of the Ghost Lantern Clan.

"Yuichi Hagiwara. ”

Shui Wuyue Qi chewed on the name, with an inexplicable meaning in his tone, and asked the ninja who came to hand in the mission information, "Is this the result of your investigation?"

The ninja lowered his head, his voice was flat but firm, and said, "Yes, my lord, we can't be sure if this person named Hagiwara Yuichi is Soichiro himself. As for the details of the matter, I can only ask you to continue to investigate. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't react to his temptation at all, Shui Wuyueqi couldn't help but shake his head boringly, it seems that these people from the intelligence system have made up their minds to stay out of the matter.

The station pattern of Wuyin Village is that the three clans of Ghost Lantern, Shui Wuyue, and Kazuya surround the office space of Shui Ying and live in the middle, and those small and medium-sized families live around the three clans. As for the civilian ninjas, they can only live further on the periphery.

In fact, there is more to this pattern than just symbolic values. When the village was first established, it was not only threatened by the ninja villages of other countries, but also frequently harassed by wandering ninjas and ronin samurai in the country. In this case, the ninjas who live on the periphery will naturally be more threatened. As a result, the families banded together to create the living pattern that we have today.

Of course, because the civilian ninjas on the periphery were frequently attacked, a group of ninja elites were honed among the civilian ninjas, and later these elites wanted to compete for the position of Mizukage. This kind of thing was something that the people who made the plan did not expect.

Today, this so-called Hagiwara Yuichi lives on the outskirts of the village. Moreover, it is close to the station of the Kaguya clan.

Although it is nominally a village, its size and prosperity can be compared to the Hatta River, the largest city in the land of water, where the daimyo of the land of water is located. In this case, it naturally took a certain amount of time for Shui Wuyue Kai and others to rush to Hagiwara Yuichi's house.

On the way, Shui Wuyue secretly thought about how to complete the task. As a matter of common sense, the investigation should be entrusted to the person in charge of intelligence in the clan at this time. Moreover, since the Hagiwara family lived in a sphere of influence for the civilian faction, it was not appropriate to use force directly.

Now, however, the clan is anxious for results to decide how to proceed with the next move. Under this premise, Shui Wuyueqi must take the fastest and most effective way to obtain information.

Today, each clan has its own intelligence station in the outlying areas. Shui Wuyueqi did not bring all the subordinates assigned to him, but only selected more than twenty people and scattered into the family's intelligence station. Soichiro is also forty or fifty years old now, and his physical fitness must have declined greatly, and these people are not afraid of him using force with this side at all.

The group dispersed into the vicinity of the Ogiwara family's residence, and then assembled, and completed this series of actions, it was already close to dark. Seeing that it was not early, Shui Wuyueqi immediately decided: wait until evening, and then go to the Hagiwara family.

Soon after, as the last glimmer of golden light of the setting sun gradually faded, the night began to descend on the earth.

Shui Wuyueqi gathered all the people to carry out the task, first looked at the state of the people's ninja, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, we are here to kill the rebellious Soichiro. It has been ascertained in the clan that the so-called Hagiwara Yuichi is Soichiro. When he entered his house, all the servants were killed, leaving only his close family members. ”

"What?"

Hearing Shui Wuyueqi say this, someone in the team immediately exclaimed. This is also normal, this team must be mixed with people from various factions such as Jingjia and Kazuya. These people don't have much reverence for Shui Wuyueqi, the young patriarch.

Hearing that Shui Wuyueqi dared to tamper with the orders of the clan without authorization, some people naturally felt that they could not sit idly by.

Unexpectedly, the man just wanted to continue, and immediately felt a pain in his lower back. Immediately afterward, a heart-rending pain came. He was about to look back, but his face was covered with a cloth. Then, the masked face ushered in Kunai's stabbing again.

When the shinobi saw that those who dared to speak out against it were killed on the spot, no one immediately expressed any further objections. In the course of carrying out the task, the authority of the commander cannot be disobeyed at all.
