43, the Daimyo faction

By the time the Kaminarimon Thunder Car had been safely escorted home, the sun had already set, and it was not too early.

Although there was still a task to do, everyone was not in a hurry to set off, and chose to stay in the national capital, ready to rest for the night before setting off.

……

A small hotel in the capital of the Land of Fire.

"Lomi, the teacher and Asma are going to visit our grandmother in the Imperial City, do you want to go together?" Shinnosuke asked as he sorted things out.

"Imperial City? Grandmother? ”

Lomi looked at Shinnosuke and Asma behind him in confusion, confused.

What's going on? Shinnosuke and Asma's grandmother live in the Imperial City? Could it be that these two brothers are still the legendary royal relatives?

Seeing Lomi's confused expression, Shinnosuke deliberately explained.

It turns out that in order to better bind together, the Daimyo of the Fire Country and the Hokage of Konoha have always had the habit of marrying.

For example, the original Hokage had formed a family with the daimyo of the Fire Country, and Tsunade's mother was the princess of the Fire Country at that time.

And the wife of the third generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Biwako, is the cousin of the current Daimyo of the Fire Country. In terms of seniority, Shinnosuke and Asma have to call the current daimyo an uncle.

In other words, in the original book, if the four generations of Hokage hadn't died early, maybe Naruto would have had the opportunity to marry a princess as a wife!

……

Following Shinnosuke to visit his grandmother, he visited the Imperial City by the way, which can be regarded as seeing the world.

The entire imperial city looked very tall and majestic, and the walls were much larger than the outer walls of Konoha. It's night, but it's still brightly lit.

The interior of the city is even more splendid, incomparably luxurious, which is an eye-opener.

After the visit, everyone withdrew from the imperial city.

At the gate of the imperial city, Lomi found that a bald young man in a white robe was waving to him on the opposite street, and a small bald head of his age was standing behind him.

"Monk? Could it be an acquaintance? Lomi thought to herself.

As expected, Shinnosuke walked over with everyone.

"Jishan, aren't you in the Temple of Fire? I didn't expect to meet you here in the national capital. Shinnosuke laughed.

"Today, I was invited to go into the city to do things for a family, and when I was about to go back after finishing the work, I heard from the senior brother of the temple that you also entered the city, so I specially waited here." The monk named Dishan first folded his hands in eleven bows, and then said.

"You and I stepped down from the "Guardian Ninja Twelve" at the same time, and said goodbye in a hurry, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. Shinnosuke said with a little emotion.

The "Guardian Ninja Twelve" are the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, and are the private independent direct troops of the Daimyo, and the personnel are basically changed every few years.

Shinnosuke and this Jiyama are among the personnel who were replaced half a year ago.

And the junior disciple of the temple in the mountain pass is one of the new substitutes.

……

Just as Shinnosuke and Jiyama are catching up, Asma also discovers his little playmate.

"Hey, Jilu, is that you?"

"It's me, Asma, you're also in the capital!"

I was also pleasantly surprised to meet Asma here, the two of them were good friends who grew up wearing a pair of pants!

"Look, Jilu!" Asma pointed to the forehead guard on his forehead and said in a stinky manner, "I'm already a ninja now, you have to work harder, don't lose to me!" ”

"Haha, congratulations, Asma! I will also work harder to become an archmage as soon as possible! ”

"By the way, Dilu, let me introduce you!" Asmar took Sunset Red's little hand and introduced, "This is my daughter-in-law, Sunset Red!" ”

"Poof......!"

Di Lu's face shook suddenly, and he felt that the whole person was a little bad in an instant.

Ni Mei, what about the life base that you said was good? Why did you turn your back on me so suddenly! Also, do you think it's appropriate for you to sprinkle dog food like this in front of a monk? Won't your conscience hurt?

Lomi behind him was speechless, expressing a moment of silence for the psychological crit of the land land!

……

"I didn't expect that the relationship between Senior Brother Dilu and Asma is still so close! I really hope that when they grow up, they can join the Guardian Ninja Twelve and become close comrades-in-arms like us! Looking at the two juniors not far away fighting together, Dishan sighed.

"Yes! Those years are truly unforgettable, and I will benefit for a lifetime! Shinnosuke's eyes flickered, and he was immersed in that period of love.

"By the way, Shinnosuke, Senior Brother Jiji wants me to tell you that he has secretly investigated the robbery of the materials of the Fire Country last time, and it is indeed the group of people from the Daimyo faction who are secretly making ghosts!" Suddenly, Jiyama interrupted Shinnosuke's thoughts and said,

"Including the transportation route of the escort materials, as well as the whereabouts of Shuo Mao's predecessors who sneaked into Yunyin, they all secretly leaked it!"

Shinnosuke didn't feel any surprise when he heard this, but showed an expression that was indeed the case, and asked, "Is there any conclusive evidence found then?" ”

"They're so secretive that they don't leave any tricks at all!"

Dishan shook his head helplessly, "Also, it is very likely that the supplies have been dropped before they even set off, and the batch of materials that Yun Yin took away is simply fake, which is also one of the reasons why Yun Yin suddenly launched an attack on the border, probably because they felt that they had been tricked, and they were angry and ashamed for a while, and they wanted to take revenge on our Fire Country!" ”

"So, some people spread rumors in the village a while ago in an attempt to slander and frame Shuo Mao's seniors, and it is very likely that the daimyo sent them to do it?" Shinnosuke asked thoughtfully.

Jishan nodded silently.

"What a group of selfish traitors who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Shinnosuke couldn't help but say angrily.

……

It turns out that there have always been two factions at the top of the Fire Country, one is the Hokage faction, which believes that the system of one country and one village is the most reasonable, and that separating the country's military power from the governing power is conducive to the country's long-term peace and stability.

The other is the Daimyo faction, who believes that military power is safest only in the hands of the Daimyo, and the Hokage is a time bomb that may suddenly mutiny one day and should be eradicated.

However, for a long time, the daimyo faction with limited combat power has always been on the verge of weakness, and it has not been able to make any waves at all.

Therefore, in order to better weaken the inherent combat power in the hands of the Hokage, the best thing to do is to provoke war.

This is just a few months ago, the important materials that the Fire Country Capital sent to Konoha Village were robbed by Yunyin Village, and their whereabouts were secretly leaked by the Daimyo faction.

Later, in order to recapture the supplies, the Konoha high-level sent White Fang to lead a team to infiltrate Yunyin, but his whereabouts were leaked and he was ambushed.

With his teammates seriously injured and the situation was very strange, White Fang decisively abandoned the mission and returned to Konoha, which directly failed the daimyo faction's plan to provoke a war between Yunyin and Konoha.

However, after many calculations, the Daimyo faction foresaw that batch of important materials in advance, which made Yun Yin suffer a dumb loss, and the batch of materials that were robbed turned out to be fake.

As a result, the brainless three generations of Thunder Shadow were really angry and ashamed, and suddenly launched a retaliatory attack on the border of the Fire Country.

Fortunately, Konoha talents came out in large numbers, and Yunyin's vanguard troops were blocked out of the country in time by Bo Feng Shuimen, a rising rookie, so that the two sides did not completely break out into war.

At this point, the daimyo faction's provocation plan was completely bankrupt.

However, in order to weaken Konoha's war potential, the daimyo faction directly extended their claws to the white fangs, intending to slander and persecute the other party through various rumors.

And then there was the fact that White Fang almost committed suicide later......
