But Tsuruta Youdou's remarks obviously did not satisfy the three people opposite, and the other sneered and said loudly: "You can also escape from the heavily guarded Wuyin Village?"

There was disdain in his tone.

But none of the Tsuruta Youdou people showed dissatisfaction on their faces, and Tsuruta Youdou even continued: "At that time, many Night Patrol Ninjas were temporarily transferred to the residence of the Mizuki clan by Mizukage, and in addition, Zai had deliberately inquired about the road traffic in the Fog Hidden Village before, so he was able to finally escape from the Fog Hidden Village without danger. ”

This statement made the suspicions in the hearts of the people on the other side dispell the suspicion slightly, and the wonderful pressure around Tsuruta Youdou and the others slowly began to dissipate.

One of the three who had never spoken spoke up at this time: "We have a relationship with Mita Shin, if you have nowhere to go at the moment, you can follow us and leave first." ”

Tsuruta Youdou and a few people are naturally reluctant in their hearts, for them, this is tantamount to going out of the tiger's mouth and entering the wolf's den first, but the faces of several people still immediately appeared with surprise, and Mita Shin himself made a look of great joy, and said excitedly: "Thank you to a few adults, don't hide it from a few adults, I and a few others are exactly at this time, it is ......"

As he spoke, he choked up.

The three of them didn't say anything about Tsuruta Youdou's posture, but said, "Since that's the case, then you can leave with us." ”

After speaking, the three of them walked forward first, followed by Tsuruta Youdou and a few others, and also left.

As for the subordinate of Tsuruta Youdou, who was previously assigned to be on duty, no one mentioned it again.

……

In the Fog Hidden Village, the Water Shadow Building.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of Mizukage's office, Akiyama Shu and his hands were holding back, looking at the "lively" Mizuki clan residence from afar, and after a while, he said, "How?"

Akiyama Shuhe was standing behind several subordinates, all dressed in black, covered with cloth, hearing Akiyama Hidekazu's question, one of them stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Tell your lord, Tsuruta Youdou and several of his henchmen have left the village, and our perceptual ninja has just confirmed that there have been fluctuations in the direction of their departure in the direction of yin-yang arts. ”

"Hmm. ”

Akiyama Hidekazu nodded, and then said: "These onmyoji have been in business for many years, and there should be a lot of gold, silver, and money. You have to keep an eye on this line, this money is very helpful to us. ”

"Yes. ”

Hidekazu Akiyama's subordinate agreed, and then quietly retreated with a few of his companions.

Seeing that Akiyama Hidekazu's subordinates had gone down, Yuan Shi turned out from the other side, came to Akiyama Hidekazu's side, stood behind him, looked in the direction of the Shui Wuyue clan with him, and then asked out loud, "Don't you think about cooperating with them?"

Akiyama Shuhe shook his head and said: "The Onmyoji have become more and more green over the years, not to mention their hostility to ninjas, even if they only look at their strength, they are already in the twilight of the West Mountain, and they will not help us much." Rather, the wealth they have accumulated over the years should be of great use to us. ”

Yuan Shi nodded, and recognized Akiyama Hidekazu's analysis, and then, I don't know what he remembered, he sighed and said: "Ninjas replace onmyoji, samurai and other professions, it can be said that it is the general trend. But whether these ninjas from civilian backgrounds can replace those clan ninjas, I have always felt that I am not confident. ”

Although both of them are leaders of the civilian ninjas, since they are talking in private, they don't have to be taboo about what to say and what not to say.

Akiyama Shuwa was silent for a moment, and then said, "Wealthy clans such as Mizuki and Kaguya can be said to be the pinnacle form of clan ninjas. But even they have not been able to get rid of their dependence on the Blood Inheritance Limit. Although there have been no major problems with the blood inheritance of these big families, you and I both know that at least in the bloodline of small families, such a thing as blood inheritance limit will slowly disappear. The reason for this, if you have the opportunity, you can organize people to study it carefully, and maybe you can find something useful. ”

Yuan Shi smiled bitterly, and then said, "Your Excellency, you also know the attitude of those blood generation families towards this kind of thing, if we dare to touch this, they will fight with us endlessly." ”

Hidekazu Akiyama sneered and said, "So the Ninja World War is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Although we civilian ninjas have participated in many battles, we have grown quickly. Over time, the balance of power between us and these clan ninjas will inevitably be reversed. ”

Yuan Shi nodded and stopped talking.

What Akiyama Hidekazu said can be regarded as a conspiracy. Once there is a ninja war, if the clan ninja is willing to go on it himself, the battle attrition must be very serious. Wealthy clans such as Mizuki and Kaguya may be able to barely withstand the loss of personnel of this intensity, but when it comes to medium-sized ninjas, it is likely to inflict heavy losses on them. When it comes to small ninjas, it is even more likely to cause them to be wiped out.

As a result, the balance of power will most likely tilt in favor of the civilian ninjas after the war.

However, if many ninjas are unwilling to contribute, then naturally they need to let the ninjas of the civilian faction enter the battlefield in large numbers. In this way, the civilian faction will most likely emerge a large number of elite ninjas after the war, and the balance of power will still be tilted on the side of the civilian ninjas. After all, the civilian faction has a large number of ninjas, plus there are many fierce and death-defying people, and after a war, a group of elite ninjas can always be screened out.

I don't know what I remembered, Akiyama Hidekazu suddenly smiled, and then said: "Actually, we don't have to worry, I think the ninjas of Konoha Hidden Village should be the first to set an example for us." ”

Yuan Shi nodded, picked up, and said, "Indeed, they are surrounded between the five major powers, and the intensity of the war can be said to be the highest in the entire continent. Coupled with the vast territory and abundant natural resources, it is indeed ...... to be able to replenish the combat attrition in a timely manner."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shi paused for a moment, as if he was looking for a suitable adjective, and after a few breaths, he continued: "Very unusual. ”

The night is getting darker and deeper, and under the same night sky, the Mizuki clan is dealing with the aftermath of the Mita Shin affair, and Mizukage is plotting with his own henchmen to purge the Onmyoji of the Land of Water, and the Onmyoji of the Land of Water are also running to revive their past glory.

And on the mainland, between the land of fire and the country of earth, on the border between Yuyin Village and Takihide Village, the ninjas of Takino Country, one of the six great powers of the ninja world, have quietly gathered here.
