"By the way, there has been a message from the fog that the pension has been prepared, when will the adults go to collect it?" Taketori asked in a low voice.

"Tomorrow! You can't let the clan wait too long, or you'll get into trouble! Rokuzawa replied without thinking.

Because the clan's financial reserves were not enough to support everyone, the Shinobi who worked in place of the four elders had been helping to delay.

However, it dragged on for too long, and the families of the deceased couldn't help but have some small emotions.

He had to fix the problem as soon as possible and pacify them.

We can't let their relatives and friends die, and they can't even maintain the most basic livelihood guarantees.

"Then I'll go down and arrange for manpower later!"

Taketori nodded and asked, "But, how many people are you going to take to the fog?" ”

"It's just you, and the six of them!" Rokuzawa said, glancing outside.

Although these six guards had been arranged by his side for several days, he had never been able to discover their existence because of the difference in strength.

Taking this opportunity, he can also take a good look at his six guards.

"That's ...... Will it be too little? Shinsuke Taketori hesitated and asked.

The village was heavily defended, and it was not so easy for ordinary people to break in, and he arranged these six guards just in case.

But when he left the village, he had to enter a dangerous place like Wuyin, and only six guards really made him feel insecure.

Seeing that Shinsuke's face was full of worry, Rokuzawa smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can come and go freely in the fog with just the protection of the seven of you." ”

"I have other arrangements."

"Please command, sir!" Taketori Jinsuke suddenly pricked up his ears.

Liu Ze immediately said solemnly: "If I am not mistaken, there will not be much danger from the time I leave the village until I enter the Fog Hidden Village. ”

"The real danger is when we get our pension and leave the fog."

"At that point, whether it's someone who wants to target us, or someone who wants to rob us of our money, they're going to make a move."

"So, I want you to go down and form an elite army, ready to come and meet us in time for our return."

"Then when I set off tomorrow, I will immediately arrange an elite force to wait outside Wuyin Village to meet us!" Taketori entered the introduction and immediately responded.

"That's not going to work!"

Liu Ze hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously: "It is impossible to mobilize so many people to hide from the fog, and when the time comes, it will only make those who have a heart prepare in advance, but it will make our reinforcements lose their due role." ”

"You just have to keep them in the village and wait for us to send a signal for help."

"However, there is still a long way to go from the village to the fog! What if they don't have time to help? "Taketori Shinsuke is still hateful.

"Have you forgotten that we also have a powerful ally in the Fog Hidden Village?" Rokuzawa said with a playful smile.

"Allies?"

Taketori Shinsuke was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, and exclaimed: "My lord, are you talking about the Terumi family?" ”

"Hmmm! That's them! ”

Liu Ze nodded, and said: "According to the intelligence analysis from Wuyin's side these days, Wuyin Village has faintly divided into several forces. ”

"The strongest of them should be the conservatives led by the three generations, followed by the reformers led by Terumi."

"However, at the moment, the two sides have not completely torn their faces, and the power of Terumi should be enough to protect us in the fog."

"With the support of the clan, we should be able to return safely."

"Well, that's a pretty safe arrangement!" Taketori nodded.

Originally, he was still worried about this operation, but hearing this arrangement, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, is there any clue for the investigation of the patriarch's whereabouts?" Rokuzawa changed the subject and asked.

"Not yet!"

Speaking of this matter, Taketori Shinsuke's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "However, based on the analysis of the current investigation, we can temporarily rule out the suspicion of the upper echelons of the Fog Hidden and the Terumi family." ”

"The rest, there are the dried persimmon clan, the ghost lamp clan, the wind clan, and the snow clan, all of which are very suspicious."

"Then hurry up and investigate! The longer it drags on, the more worried I am about what will happen to the patriarch! Rokuzawa's mood was unusually heavy.

Hearing this, Taketori Shinsuke gritted his teeth and asked, "What if...... If something happens to the patriarch, what are your plans? ”

Although he doesn't want to think so, there is always a chance that you must be prepared as soon as possible.

"Then we can only find another meritocracy and elect another patriarch!" Rokuzawa said with a long sigh.

In fact, he also wanted to officially take over the power of the patriarch, but he had no choice but to have the flaw of the blood inheritance limit of the 'corpse bone vein', and he was destined to not be able to officially take over the position of the patriarch.

Now to get the title of 'acting patriarch' is already the result of haste to obey power.

When all is over, the authority in his hands must be returned to the clan.

"That's all there is to it!" Taketori Shinsuke sighed, his mood quite heavy.

"What about the 'Medicine Master's Pocket'? Is there a clue to that guy's trail? Rokuzawa changed the question and continued to ask.

Taketori Jinsuke shook his head and said helplessly: "There are no clues over there!" ”

"However, according to the intelligence officers who are investigating outside, there are indeed mysterious people operating in nearby towns, and it feels like spies for other ninja villages."

"Tell them that the 'Medicine Master' is very important to our family, and we must be careful to patrol it. Once you find his traces, don't act rashly, and report it to us immediately! Rokuzawa instructed word by word.

"Isn't it just an eleven or twelve-year-old spy? Is it necessary for adults to be so cautious? Looking at his solemn appearance, Taketori Shinsuke was a little puzzled.

"Don't underestimate him!"

Rokuzawa shook his index finger and said seriously: "That guy also participated in the Fourth Ninja World War in his previous life, and he was one of the initiators of that war. ”

"In terms of strength, at that time, he had reached the top of the ninja world, and he was definitely not something that ordinary people could compete with."

"Now, due to his age, he has not reached the peak state he was at the beginning, but with his rich combat experience and memory in his previous life, his current strength should be comparable to that of Shangnin."

"It's not easy to catch him."

"Yes, I remember! I'll get the word on later! Taketori nodded.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go back! Have a good night's rest, and tomorrow we'll leave for Wuyin! Rokuzawa got up and said.

"Then I won't disturb the adults' rest! I'll also change another batch of guards outside to replace tonight's guard time! ”

Taketori Shinsuke got up to say goodbye, then quietly turned to leave.
