Early the next morning, Masahiko followed the door to "meet" the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Fortunately, the daimyo is not a sissy, the one in the original book can only be said to be unfilial.

At the same time, there were also old opponents of the Daimyo Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Zhan, the former Uchiha Three Elders, the current Grand Elder.

Uchiha Zhan glanced at Masahiko and sneered, "You Uzumaki are really going to be tied to a thousand hands? At this time, you still bring you old guy? ”

"Old fellow? Let's see, he and I compare who is the old guy. Masahiko smiled and spoke, relying on his eternally 48-year-old face, which made Uchiha Zhan look aggrieved.

"Great Elder, don't bother with him, he's a half-cut person in the ground." Seeing that the Great Elder was suffering, Uchiha Izuna hurriedly helped.

However, what is said is ......

In short, Masahiko smiled even more happily, and the Uchiha battle blushed.

"Ahem......" The daimyo on the stage coughed, interrupting their mockery.

Seeing that a few people were quiet, the daimyo spoke, "I was busy calling you here this time because I was assassinated by ninjas a few days ago. ”

"It saddens me that the leader of my guards, Eiaki Santaro, died with the Assassins to protect me."

"Of course, I didn't call you to suspect that the assassins were sent by you, but I felt that my safety was threatened."

"After Santaro's death, my guards no longer have anyone who can make me feel safe."

"I hope that the major ninja clans can send a few elite ninjas to protect my safety and form an organization to protect the twelve ninjas."

"Of course, I'll pay enough for it, I wonder what I think?"

Several people in the audience looked at each other and did not speak for a while.

The major ninja clans all recognize the status of the daimyo, firstly, because the daimyo will make the land of fire more prosperous, and the major ninja clans will also have more capital income; The second reason is that the daimyo does not have enough power in his hands, and this is the main reason.

This time, the daimyo asked for the formation of the Guardian Ninja Twelve, although the ninjas were sent from the major ninja clans, which was equivalent to hiring. But after all, this will still form a military force that belongs to the daimyo.

However, the daimyo made a request on the grounds of their own safety, and they could not refuse.

Uchiha Zhan stood up, "Your Excellency, we Uchiha need to think about this matter, please forgive me. ”

He gave Masahiko a look and signaled that Masahiko also refused. As the person who led the team, neither Kazuma nor Izumi was suitable to express his position immediately at this time.

Masahiko stood up and said to the daimyo with a smile, "Your Excellency, for your safety, it is understandable to form the Guardian Ninja Twelve. However, the Assassins will not always attack you, and your wife and children may be threatened. ”

"So, for the safety of the entire Daimyo's Mansion, how can twelve people. I think it would be more reasonable to form a guardian ninja hundred and eight singles......"

The Uchiha duo on the side looked at Masahiko as if they were looking at a neurotic. As for Kazuma, Masahiko didn't dare to turn his head to look at it......

Masahiko also fought hard for the witness points, and if one hundred and eight generals were formed, the plot would be completely changed, and it was estimated that he could gain a lot of witness points.

On the stage, the daimyo smiled, "Oh, thank you for your support, I will consider forming a hundred and eight generals of the Guardian Ninja!" ”

Several people said goodbye to the daimyo and returned to their rooms.

Masahiko was a little reluctant to look at Kazuma along the way, after all, he was originally entrusted to help Kazuma, but it turned out to be a disadvantage.

"Between the doors, I'm ......"

"Second grandfather, your solution this time is too good!" Before Masahiko could say anything to apologize, he interrupted him with an excited face.

"Uh......" Masahiko looked confused.

"If the daimyo wants to form the Guardian Twelve to protect his safety, it is not easy for us to refuse, especially the small clan who came this time, and I wish there was a long-term meal ticket. But what kind of guardian ninja does he want to set up, all the ninja clan will not agree, and even the twelve guardian ninja warriors are estimated to be affected. ”

"Sure enough, calling you this time is indeed the right choice!"

Masahiko was broken in his heart at the moment, but he didn't expect his inspiration to get such an evaluation in the doorway.

"Ah, yes, yes......" Masahiko reacted, "That's what I thought, I didn't expect you to be able to see my deep meaning so quickly...... but he thought in his heart, this time it's a no-show, and it is estimated that there will not be many witnesses.

As expected, after summoning Senju and Uchiha, the daimyo summoned other families one after another, but it was not the twelve scholars, but one hundred and eight generals.

Sure enough, even the small clan who was eager to get the Daimyo's long-term meal ticket did not agree with the Daimyo's formation of him, a guardian ninja of one hundred and eight generals.

In the room on the other side of the Daimyo's Mansion, the patriarchs of the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly gathered here.

The mountain patriarch's face was a little ugly, and he said, "What exactly does the daimyo want to do this time?" Guarding the ninja one hundred and eight generals, at least he has to be an elite ninja to protect him, with this kind of power, I'm afraid they can attack us! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other two, "Our daimyo is usually very shrewd, and this shouldn't be the case this time...... Before us, he also summoned Senju and the Uchiha, maybe the Uchiha wanted to do something again......"

The Nara patriarch shook his head, "Not necessarily the Uchiha, maybe the Senju ......" When he said this, he remembered Masahiko's sloppy face again.

"Take the root (Akido Patriarch), what do you think?" The two of them turned to the Akido patriarch at the same time.

"Uh...... I think...... Yesterday's dinner in the Daimyo's Mansion was very good, and I should let my cooks learn from it. ”

The other two glanced at each other, turned their heads tacitly, ignored the Patriarch of the Autumn Dao, and continued their discussion.

The other clans and the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly had basically the same idea, and none of them agreed to the Daimyo's proposal. But at the end of the day, the daimyo is justified, and they have to think of a proper way to refuse.

The next day, the daimyo summoned Senju and Uchiha again in Fuchu.

Compared to yesterday, Daimyo's entire face was dark, especially when he saw Masahiko.

Masahiko said that he was innocent and that he was genuinely on the side of the Daimyo.

Before the daimyo could speak, Masahiko preemptively said: "The one hundred and eight generals proposed yesterday are a little inconsiderate to me, and the Daimyo Mansion doesn't need so many people." I'm afraid that the twelve daimyo are not enough, but what about the twenty-four? "He's still going to struggle.

The daimyo on the stage softened his face slightly, "I also didn't think about it yesterday, if there are one hundred orders and eight generals, I'm afraid I can't afford the employment costs...... As for the specific number of people, it depends on the specific needs. ”

"I'm going to have a banquet in the evening to bring you all together and we'll talk about it again."

Several people nodded and said goodbye to the daimyo.

On the way, he said: "The daimyo is really powerful, he will plan and settle the matter of guarding the forbearance, second grandfather, in this way, your strategy has helped him." ”

"Huh."

Masahiko's face was confused......
