The flames pushed by, and the unbearable screams came to an abrupt end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The high-speed hot air ignites the combustible parts of the human body, such as the muscles and organs, and peels the burning parts directly from the bones, leaving only the parts that have not been blown away to burn in the flames in place.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate, I only hit two people."

This is a mixed wind, water, and fire technique modeled after the Type 02/Flamethrower. Construct three spaces directly in the body of the earth clone. Inside are the gases converted by the chakra, which are nitrogen, which is simply responsible for pushing, oxygen to strengthen the reaction, and a mixture of various combustible gases. The remaining one is used to store gasoline and viscous, while chakra is used to control the volume of the two spaces. After compressing at least hundreds of cubic meters of nitrogen, the earth clone spewed out the contents of the two spaces.

The compressed air that erupts from inside the liquid metal pushes the burning droplets to eject hundreds of meters away. When the flames are fully combed, a new black line of char left over from the victim's burn on the ground is revealed.

The flames were about to consume the entire Iwa Shinobi, Cloud Ninja, and Sand Shinobi, and the ninjas of those villages could only find their charred companions in the Land of Rain.

It looks like Konoha was killed by someone, but this middle ninja test Konoha is the one that is the least necessary to intercept other ninja villages. Moreover, it was too obvious that they were all charred by the fire, as if someone was trying to cover up the real cause of their deaths......

――――――――――――――

Lighting the fuse while muddying the water is just a small step in Zhao Kun's plan to set off the ninja war. In other words, what a small middle ninja exam can bring is limited after all, and the faceless will definitely not be satisfied.

So, after launching three waves of attacks, Zhao Kun entered the area of the Fire Country again. Of course, not to Konoha, but to another location.

……

Little by little, the night became thicker, and the stars and the moon that had been bright in the past were hidden in the dark clouds, without a trace of light. And in the night, the wind was whistling the branches, and everything that could be loose was swaying and shaking under its power.

But even the movement of the wind could not wake up the area that had fallen asleep in a suffocating dreak. There is only one light-filled tower left, and people are occasionally attracted by the movement caused by the strong wind.

The light-filled pagoda is seven stories long and is one of the buildings in the famous Fire Temple. At this time, the light shines through the East Tower, the landmark building of the East Pagoda Shikanin Temple, the center of the Fire Temple.

The Temple of Fire, one of the temples of the Hokke sect, is also an important temple in the Land of Fire.

Of course, in this chaotic era, Buddhism was in decline long before the rise of the Ninja sect, but this did not prevent the Fire Temple from continuing to maintain its status as a famous Buddhist temple.

As one of the seven great temples in this world, it is bordered by Hira County to the north and Shiga Castle to the south...... Located at the 5-way crossing, the Fire Temple, located northeast of the capital of the Land of Fire, is actually located in an important transportation area.

At this time, the light came from the sixth floor of the East Tower.

Although the pagoda is only seven floors, it is the most clear place for the founder of the Lotus sect of Buddhism to cultivate here. And this tower is also the most famous building in the temple that he hired to build by the ninjas of the Shinobi sect who was very prosperous at that time.

On the top floor of the East Pagoda, the statues of the Medicine Master and the Bodhisattva of the Moonlight, and the Twelve Gods are revered by the Honzong. At the bottom of the floor are the places where the June and November meetings of the Fire Temple and the Kogaku Shogi Festival are held. There is a Mahayana ordination altar on the second floor, which is the highest mandala for the ordination of the temple. The third floor is Manjushri Building, also known as a line of Samadhi Building, dedicated to Manjushri Bodhisattva; The fourth floor is the Fuxian Hall, which is dedicated to the Bodhisattva. The fifth floor is the *** hall, which enshrines the statues of Shakyamuni and the Bodhisattvas. There is a statue of the king of the Ming Dynasty on the sixth floor, which is the abbot of the temple who lives, so it is also called the head of the Buddha of Fahua.

Therefore, up and down this area, both monks and laymen, will compliment the owner here. But at this time, there were two more unfamiliar guests in the abbot's residence.

"Hasn't Ashikaga-sama figured it out yet?"

As the second son of the Daimyo, Ashikaga Yoshito's position is actually very embarrassing.

At this time, the land of fire still continued the practice of the first generation of daimyos, and all the sons of the governor were monks except for the heirs. This is to prevent a contest with the heirs for the right to inherit. If something happens to the heirs, they can become heirs. So, according to custom, at the age of eighteen, Ashikaga Yoshito was sent to the Temple of Fire to practice.

Under normal circumstances, he would probably stay in this temple for the rest of his life. To put it mildly, who will be willing?

Still, he wouldn't confess to a guy who suddenly appeared, hid his head and tail, and came from an unknown source. Despite the promises he gave, it was very touching.

"Hidden heads, I have nothing to talk about with you!"

"Really, regrettably." Zhao Kun shook his head, "Since that's the case, then you're just as good as Abbot Nakai......"

"What-"

After a scream, everything fell silent.

――――――――――――――――

"It's time to march along the path of the ancient samurai. Acquire land for the plough of the Land of Fire with the kunai of the Land of Fire and shuriken, and by the way, take the necessary resources for the ninjas every day, Danzo-sama......"

"Nakai-sama's ambition is as ambitious as ever." Even in the dim dark room, the middle-aged man who said words of praise still chose to stand in the most hidden place. Under the shadow of heavy shadows, if he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, even a ninja would have found it difficult to find someone there. "However, the current policy of the village is still based on peaceful development...... Of course, as the presiding officer of the Temple of Fire, you can also say anything you have to offer, but in fact, I have been considering some radical proposals. ”

Peace? Of course, it is good to have peace, but can there really be peace, in the current state of society, this is a dream. What is peace? Strictly speaking, peace usually means a state in which there is no violence such as war or other hostilities.

"If there is really peace, ninjas who mainly focus on violent missions and anti-violent missions will be unemployed immediately, right?" Kazuya Nakai smiled, his words full of sarcasm.

"Hmph, of course there can be no real peace in this situation, and the one sitting in the Hokage's office now is also very clear," the middle-aged man in the shadow snorted, expressing his disdain in words, "Even now, Sarutobi still hopes to maintain a state of peace between the great powers, or a state where there is no major war. ”

"How can this so-called peace be maintained with this kind of escalating friction? Do you have to rely on that thin piece of paper? No, it was never a peace agreement, just a truce for more than a decade. ”

The time-traveler has plagiarized famous quotes from the planet without any pressure, and the current situation is indeed as he said, the friction between the ninjas has intensified, and the second ninja war will break out in two years.

It's a deformed world. One of the sources of income for the ninja village, which exists in its strange way, is the grants of the daimyo, and the basis for the ninja's survival is to complete various battles-based missions.

Task delegation is limited. The ninja village can rely on the daimyo's appropriations, relying on the village's taxes and industries, but the economic source of the ninja without the industry is the task.

The way of man is to lose more than enough. No matter what the world, the struggle for limited resources in human society never ends. A strong ninja village is a sign of defeat for all other ninja villages. Every time a village gets an extra task, it means that someone else has one less task. Every additional resource that the village grabs is equivalent to someone else losing a resource. For every ninja that is supported in the village, there is one less ninja in other villages.

Even if we do not consider the national-level military tasks brought about by the system of one country and one village, the villages are still naturally antagonistic to each other! Therefore, in such a world, even if the country does not want to fight, when peace has developed for a certain period of time, it will fall into the point where it has to fight.

Peace will be followed by steady development, and for a period of time, domestic contradictions will gradually intensify. Land annexation, the growing exploitation of the aristocracy...... and other contradictions need to be transferred, as are the contradictions in the number of ninjas and resources. Either get more resources, or consume the extra population and ninjas, and large-scale battles are inevitable.

In this situation, from the perspective of the village, Konoha who is the strongest but cannot suppress all the other ninja villages must be the target of the joint weakening of other ninja villages - fundamentally speaking, even if they attack a village weaker than themselves, the resources left by the war will still be taken by Konoha The lion's share, but the two who are caught in the battle will become weaker and weaker in the long run, although the pressure is relieved.

From a national point of view, the Fire Nation is in the best position on the continent, rich in resources, and a place of four wars, so it is simply a natural target to be besieged.

These truths are not only understood by the traverser, but also by the one standing behind him and hidden in the shadows. This root leader who adheres to the martial arts line and tries to completely defeat the four major ninja villages and achieve the dominance of Konoha is also affected by the situation.

It's just that this leader of the martial arts faction is obviously not the real talker in the village, and there are lessons from the last war, and several major powers are not so impulsive, and it will be some time before a large-scale full-scale war breaks out.

However, convincing Shimura was much easier than he thought.

Shimura Danzo is a person, and the reputation is not very good in the original Hokage, and when he is put in the same person, he is a generation of backstabbers, responsible for harming the protagonist. so that those who are in the middle two will not work or n...... Those who can't do it can have an excuse to betray Konoha - it's all the key to me!

In fact, Danzang definitely won't reach that level. When you see a genius, you have to do it, either to accept the protagonist who is only a few years old and has just emerged into the "root" training, or the protagonist threat theory is to be strangled in the cradle. So all kinds of small actions, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks followed, staring at the protagonist every day like a ghost behind the ghost. There are absolutely good things, and there are definitely bad things...... While describing that Tuan Zang does everything for Konoha, he asks Tuan Zang to kill all the creatures that can become combat power in Konoha in the future.

To be reasonable, the group must be true...... If you look like this, you would have been killed by Ape Fei a long time ago, right?

And from Zhao Kun's point of view, based on the cognition and intelligence of his life, Tuan Zang can still cooperate.

How so? As the leader of the strongest ninja village Konoha in this era, the ape flying sun slash in this era is not as timid as in old age, looking forward and backward, but some problems have gone deep into the bone marrow.

Ya is actually a dove!

If we seek peace through struggle, we will survive peacefully, and if we seek peace through compromise, we will die peacefully. How much more is the shadow of war looming now? At this time, they were still hesitant, not to mention that they were ready to mobilize, but that they were inclined to compromise...... Do you really think of those small countries as Czechoslovakia?

It's a pity that the ninja village of the four major countries that is being attacked on all sides now is not Germany or his compromise, it is Konoha ah!

From this point of view, as a martial arts faction, Tuan Zang is more clever than Ape Flying Sun.

Although this man is fierce and timid, he is indecisive and scheming; Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. If you use it as a teammate, you will be sold sooner or later; If you hug his thigh and do things for him, sooner or later you can't escape the fate of being sacrificed. However, there is no more suitable person to find someone at the top of Konoha to use each other as a political ally or a target for use.

A politician with very clear shortcomings is always better than a perfect person.

What's more, the leader of the roots/tribe has both military power, political resources and connections.

――――――――――――

"Ashikaga-sama, this way, please."

The middle-aged ninja with a warm smile called out in a voice that was neither high nor low.

Ashikaga Yoshito, who was dressed in monk's robes, picked up a folding fan with the two big characters "Konoha" written on it on the roadside stall, fanned it, folded it, and hit it on the palm of his left hand with a snap.

"I've heard for a long time that the leaves are flourishing, and it's really worthy of the name, Lord Haruhisa, but you want to take me for a good turn."

As he spoke, he inserted the folding fan into the back collar of the monk's robe, grabbed an unknown melon and fruit, and gnawed it.

The warm smile on Hinata Haruhisa's face froze, and the ninja next to him immediately went to pay the bill, and by the way, he comforted the owner of the fan shop and the melon and fruit shop.

As the military force of the Fire Country, Konoha Village is usually only responsible for the client and the Fire Country Daimyo, and usually has little to do with the heirs of this kind of monk who has gone to become a monk.

But this time, things are a little different.

Kazuya Nakai's plan, Ashikaga Yoshito's mother's pillow wind, Shimura Danzo's assist...... There are too many people involved.

So Ashikaga Yoshito swaggered and continued to move forward, and Hinata Haruha silently followed. In the past few days, he has just leisurely spent with Konoha's funds, which is like coming to travel and eat and drink at public expense. (To be continued.) )
