Chapter 20: Decision
The Xiangtian people, who had just come out of their hiding place, never thought that the enemy would follow behind the mountain fire and attack in one fell swoop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Under the sudden attack of dozens of kunai, these Xiangtian people didn't have time to make other moves, and they all quickly took out the kunai and began to resist the kunai that shot in.
After the sound of "clanging", the Xiangtian people had to leave two corpses behind and flee in panic. Although he knew that the enemy was likely to obtain important information from the corpses of his own dead, he could not care about it at this time. Of course, it is also because obtaining intelligence from the enemy's brain is a very high-end technology, and it is generally not equipped in small field units.
On the other hand, Shui Wuyue's side has already rushed over the mountain fire to this side at this time. Seeing the Xiangtian people in front of them fleeing in embarrassment, some of Shui Wuyueqi's subordinates immediately wanted to continue to pursue.
"Wait!"
Shui Wuyue Qi gave a snort to the subordinate who wanted to pursue him, stopping him from continuing forward.
"Lord Kai?"
The shinobi stopped, and someone asked suspiciously.
Shui Wuyue Qi frowned, as if she was carefully perceiving something, and did not answer why she stopped the pursuit. Seeing this, the people had no choice but to disperse around Shui Wuyueqi and be on guard.
After a while, Shui Wuyueqi stopped continuing to perceive, turned his head and asked the people around him, "Did the Xiangtian clan suddenly increase their raiding efforts?"
"Yes, according to the information we have received, the Xiangtian clan suddenly started to plunder not long ago. It is for this reason that the local garrison will make up their minds to hire ninjas, and the village will discover the secrets here. The ninja who was standing on the side immediately replied.
When Shui Wuyue Qi heard this, he muttered to himself, "With the strength of a ninja family, they can't support it, forcing them to risk being discovered and looting, what the hell could it be?"
Then, Shui Wuyue Qi spoke: "Don't rush to attack first, tell the Xiangtian clan that I want to meet their patriarch." ā
"Yes!"
Hearing the order of the young patriarch, one of the ninjas under him immediately replied yes, and then he was about to go to deliver the message.
"Wait. ā
Mizuki Yue Qi stopped the ninja, condensed an ice kunai in his hand, handed it to the ninja, and said, "Use this to send a message." ā
ā¦ā¦
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
At this time, Xiang Tian was really listening to Xiang Tian Shouyi's report on the previous battle.
After listening to Xiang Tian Shouyi's words, Xiang Tian Zhen did not pursue his actions of running away by himself regardless of his clansmen, but asked: "Now, you should understand how strong the real Fog Hidden Ninja is, right?"
As for the two ninjas who were abandoned by Xiang Tian Shouyi, they were just two lower ninjas. Back then, he could even give up his own son, how could he care too much about the lives of two ordinary clansmen at this time.
When Xiang Tian Shouyi heard his father's question, his face turned red and his head bowed deeply. However, this is not the time to rush to apologize, so Xiang Tian Shouyi asked: "Father, now that our six gods have either died or have temporarily lost their ability to fight, what should we do?"
When Xiang Tianzhen heard his son's words, his face couldn't help but be a little solemn. Although he had been warning his son about the power of the Mist Hidden Ninja before, he didn't expect that the enemy this time would make the six Shikigami on his side lose their combat effectiveness before they could make a few moves. Now it seems that the ninjas sent by the Fog Hidden Village this time are quite unusual.
Just as he was thinking of this, someone outside came to report: "Patriarch, this is the enemy shooting." After saying that, he respectfully presented a letter nailed to the ice bitterness.
Xiang Tian Zhen hadn't read the letter yet, but he only saw the ice kunai in the hands of the clansmen who exuded a chill, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Stretched out his hand to take the ice kunai, took down the letter, and said to Tian Zhen to his son, "Shouyi, we may be in big trouble this time." ā
As he spoke, he opened the letter in his hand. As a veteran ninja, Xiang Tian Zhen only touched it to determine whether there was any secret weapon set up in the letter.
Xiang Tian Zhen took out the short letter, smoothed the letter, and read it carefully.
After half a ring, Xiang Tian Zhen sighed, closed the letter, looked at Xiang Tian Shouyi, and said, "I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate this time!"
Xiang Tian Shouyi saw his father say this, and couldn't help asking, "Father, what did the letter say?"
Xiang Tian Zhen replied: "The person who came is the young patriarch of Shui Wuyue, one of the three wealthy clans of Wuyin, and he wants us to hand over the things that the family supports, and in return, he can guarantee us to return to Wuyin Village or let us go." ā
When Xiang Tian Shouyi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "No matter how much the family has paid for supporting that thing, he is really capable of letting us return to Wuyin Village with a young patriarch?"
When Xiang Tian Zhen heard this, he knew in his heart that today's son saw the power of the Misty Ninja, and he had already moved his mind to follow them back to Misty Hidden Village, so he couldn't help interrupting Xiang Tian Shouyi's words and said: "Shouyi, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other! The person who called himself the young patriarch of Shui Wuyue could indeed let us return to Misty Hidden Village if he wanted to, but our family was on the side of the civilian ninjas back then. If we reach a compromise with them now, the bigwigs of the civilian faction will definitely send someone to kill us. At that point, how can you guarantee that he will continue, or that he will still be able to protect us?"
Xiang Tian Shouyi listened to his father's analysis, and continued: "It's not just that, if they get what they want, it's hard to say whether they will directly kill us." ā
Xiang Tianzhen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw his son thinking of this, and said, "Shouyi, you're right!" and then said with emotion: "When I was as old as you, I didn't think about things as deeply as you thought, and your grandfather often scolded me for being a pig's head, haha." ā
Xiang Tian Shouyi heard his father approve of his guess, and he completely understood why his family had not been able to return to Wuyin for many years.
Xiang Tian Zhen looked at his son's expression, and he already understood what he was thinking, and rarely showed some fatherly attitude, patted Xiang Tian Shouyi's head, and said: "Shouyi, you don't have to be too uneven, even if it is a big clan like Ghost Lantern and Shui Wuyue, haven't their ancestors also experienced these things? Although our Xiang Tian clan can only exist as pawns and bargaining chips for big people now, it is much better than the situation of civilian ninjas without families. ā
After speaking, Xiang Tian Zhen pondered for a while, and then, as if he had decided something, he stood up and said to Xiang Tian Shouyi: "Shouyi, from now on, the position of the patriarch will be handed over to you." In the future, the survival and rise and fall of the family will be on your shoulders. ā
What the?
Although he heard such news, Xiang Tian Shouyi did not have any joy in his heart. Feeling the thick ominous meaning in his father's tone, Xiang Tian Shouyi couldn't help but raise his head in astonishment, and shouted, "Father?"
