The mountain stream gurgles and flows into the temple. The breeze is whining, and the bamboo leaves are rustling.

The sound of water droplets stirs the temple. The monk Meng Zong held a bamboo cup in his hand, knelt on the tatami mat, and gently took a sip of the clear tea in the cup.

With a sound of wind, Meng Zong put down the bamboo cup in his hand.

"Friend of Shayin, show up!"

In a flash, Ye Cang appeared in front of Meng Zong. Looking at the fat-headed monk in front of him, Ye Cang did not have the awe of the people of the Bird Country, but there was a trace of disgust in his heart.

"You're going to see me?"

"Yes, Lord Hakura!"

Meng Zong stood up slowly, but he was still a little shorter than the tall Ye Cang.

"The Third Ninja World War is over, and only Konoha wins. I know that the Wind Shadow wants to turn the situation back, so I want to establish a ninja village in the Bird Country and control the situation in the northwest of the Wind Country. So, we can cooperate! ”

"How to cooperate?" For the person in front of him, Ye Cang didn't have a good impression in his heart, but for the sake of Sha Yin's interests, he reluctantly continued with it.

"The Daimyo of the Bird Country, the Great Heron, is nothing more than a weak monarch, and his advisor Hongming has two sons, but he is not a problem. As long as Sha Ren can get rid of the heron, I will be able to control the power of the Bird Country. Then, if Kazekage wants to establish a ninja village here, it will naturally come to fruition with my full support. ”

"Ninjas can't interfere with the change of status between the daimyos, this is a rule that has been established since the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Sha Ren would not participate in such a conspiracy. If you can make it, we may be able to work together then! ”

"Lord Hakura!"

Just as Ye Cang was about to leave, Meng Zong stopped her.

"Now that Konoha is the dominant family, is it true that for the sake of the so-called rules, Sand Ninja is really willing to be trampled under the feet of Konoha ninjas?"

Ye Cang smiled and ignored Meng Zong's words.

"As I said, if you have the ability to seize the power of the Bird Country, Sha Yin may consider cooperating with you!"

"Cut!"

Ye Cang's figure had already disappeared from Meng Zong's field of vision, and in the room, a wandering ninja appeared at Meng Zong's feet.

"Chief, what are we going to do next? With our strength, it is not enough to control the country of birds right now. ”

"These ninjas in a big country are all guys who want to be bitches and build torii. Obviously eating is more ugly than anyone else, but when it comes to the end, I don't want to dirty my hands! ”

Meng Zong vented the anger in his heart and turned his head to look at his men.

"It's a good opportunity, if we can get on the line with Shayin, we don't have to wander anymore. So be it! Tell the people in the Daimyo's Mansion to do it in advance, just assassinate the Egret and his son. If the Bird Country loses its heir, there will be civil strife, and then we will be able to grasp the situation. ”

.......

The Daimyo Mansion of the Bird Country.

Darkmoon was silent, and the guards stood guard in the hallway. It was the second half of the night, and the silence of the night made all the guards tired. Invisibly, the seemingly tight guard was much more relaxed.

Daimyo's room.

The Daimyo of the Bird Country is sleeping, and he is easily awakened by a slight noise in his old age and dreams.

Ahh He sat up and stroked his forehead, his back already drenched with fine sweat.

"Lord Heron!"

A slight shout appeared in the room, and the confused heron suddenly came to his senses.

The heron narrowed his eyes and saw a figure in the room in the darkness.

"What are you doing here?"

"Lord Egret, Lord Meng Zong asked me to bring you a message!" The man walked slowly towards the heron, step by step, and there was not even a sound on the tatami mats.

"Meng Zong? What are you doing! ”

The heron shouted, but the guards outside the door did not run in.

"Give it up! They have all been drugged by me, and they will not wake up until morning. And you, I will take a very special method, so that you will not die painfully at all. ”

As the figure moved forward, the heron felt an unprecedented fear in his heart. In a hurry, he supported his body with his hands and wanted to retreat, but his old body was very heavy and difficult to move for half a minute.

"Daimyo-sama, go die!"

A kunai flew into the Assassin's back, ending his life as he was about to attack.

"Lord Heron!"

Yahiko's figure appeared in front of the Daimyo of Bird Country and knelt down in front of him.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a ninja named Yahiko. My partner and I sensed Meng Zong's conspiracy, so we came to the rescue of Lord Egret! ”

"Meng Zong? Is it really him? Da Lu shook his head, still a little reluctant to believe it, "No, Meng Zong, as a high-ranking monk, has a lot of influence in the country, and just based on the words of this assassin and your words, I am still not enough to convict him." ”

"In this case, please authorize me and my companions, and we will find out Meng Zong and his accomplices, and present his conspiracy in front of the world."

Yahiko bowed his head slightly and pleaded.

The heron narrowed his eyes again and asked, "Young man, what do you want from me?" ”

"Yes!" Yahiko's entire upper body bent down, his head touching the ground, "My partner and I have been wandering for a long time, if we can thwart Meng Zong's conspiracy, please allow Lord Egret to establish our own ninja village in the country of birds!" ”

"Arrogance!"

The heron shouted angrily. Looking at it like this, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have anything at hand, he would have copied it up and smashed Yahiko a long time ago.

"Please give me and my partner a chance!"

Yahiko's head was still dead on the ground, and he didn't seem to move in the slightest.

The big heron looked at Yahiko in front of him, perhaps touched by his persistence, and slowly calmed down his anger.

"Good! If it's as you say, I'll give you a chance! ”

"Thank you, Lord Egret!"

Yahiko lifted up and bowed down again.

"Looks like the matter is settled here! Next, it is necessary to catch one or two of Meng Zong's accomplices and let him reveal his true form. ”

On the high wall in the distance, Shikamaru saw this scene in his eyes and muttered in his mouth.

"I'm curious, why did you ask Yahiko to convince the heron with your sharp teeth?"

Xiao Nan stood aside and asked with some curiosity in his tone.

"What a joke!" Shikamaru spread his hands, and there was an expression on his face that you thought I was an idiot?

"Why should I do this kind of nodding and bowing, smiling face, and faceless thing?"

"Sure enough, it's a bastard!"

Watching Shikamaru's figure disappear, Xiao Nan scolded softly and uncontrollably.
