Chapter 196: Before the Opening
"It's already dark outside, so it will be easier for us to move and dodge!" The rescue team that had just gone out to check the situation came back to report the news.
With their five senses, the ninja can still move freely in the dark, but they still can't completely ignore the influence of the environment, which is good news for the rescue team.
"What about the direction of the reformists' offensive? Have you found out about this? Taketori asked earnestly.
They were only safe if they joined their fellow reformers as soon as possible, so they made a plan early on to break through from the direction of the reformists' attack.
"It's been checked!"
The ninja who reported the news nodded and said seriously: "The main direction of attack of the reformers is the city wall in the southeast, which is also the best direction for us to break through!" ”
"However, before that, I think everyone should eat their stomachs first, recharge their energy and get ready!"
As he spoke, he removed a package from his back and placed it in front of the group to open it.
Suddenly, a smell of meat wafted out, and a golden roast suckling pig appeared in front of several people.
It was the food he had stolen when he had just gone out to check on the situation.
Smelling the fragrance, several people couldn't help but move their index fingers.
One swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't say it, I'm really hungry!" ”
From the afternoon to now, they have been constantly moving and hiding, and they have not eaten anything at all, and they are really a little hungry.
Although there are military ration pills on the body to replenish physical strength, that kind of thing does not provide satiety.
After all, it's just a small elixir that can't fill a hungry stomach.
"Then eat it while it's hot!"
Fuji Gang glanced at everyone, then tore off a roast suckling pig's calf and respectfully handed it to the old patriarch.
"Your Excellency, please!"
"Thank you!"
……
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already half past eight.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Rokuzawa sat in the tent and instructed outside: "Jinsuke Shangnin, pass on my order, all the clansmen move closer to me, I have something to say to them!" ”
Raid the command of the Great Tent, which is tantamount to rebellion.
Although both he and Terumi knew that it was acting, the people below didn't.
Therefore, although he was the captain of the first column, the others would never obey such an unsophisticated order.
The only ones who were really willing to trust him unreservedly and obey his command were the five hundred Taketori ninjas.
Even if he is preparing to rebel!
That's the power of bloodline!
Within the various clans, the orders of the upper echelons of the village can only be ranked second, and the first is the order of the patriarch.
Similarly, for each ninja village, the various clans in the village are also the henchmen of the high-level.
Because of this overly cohesive ethnic force, it will split the rule of the village, forming a country within a country, a village within a village.
Thus, since the establishment of the various ninja villages, the rulers of all the villages have tried to 'digest' the power of the clans, completely integrating them into the villages, and erasing the boundaries between clans.
Among them, the most typical and successful example is the Senju clan of Konoha.
Since the establishment of Konoha Village, the patriarch of the Senju clan, Senju Tsuruma, has consciously begun to model the ethnic concept of the Senju clan, encouraging the clansmen to intermarry with other villagers and integrate the blood of the Senju clan into the village.
To this day, in addition to the granddaughter Tsunade between the Thousand Hands Pillar on the surface, there is no official clan below.
The transition and integration of the clan and the village was completed between the Thousand Hands Pillars, but such examples also made other ethnic groups feel close.
Because of the constant intermarriage with foreigners, the blood of the clan naturally became thinner and thinner.
And the big clans in the ninja world generally have blood inheritance limits or other ability advantages derived from bloodlines.
It is precisely by relying on this bloodline advantage that surpasses ordinary people that these big clans can last for a long time and become famous.
Conversely, in order to maintain their own bloodline superiority, or rather, in order to obtain that kind of ability advantage beyond ordinary people, the major races had to maintain the purity of their bloodlines and restrict intermarriage with foreign races.
This is the root of the birth of the power of the clan that is derived from ability and blood, and beyond the cohesion of the clan in the village, and it is also the root of the birth of a clan.
As long as someone is unwilling to let his offspring give up that bloodline advantage, then he has to huddle closely with others who have the same bloodline in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline.
This is something that the village cannot give, and it is also the source of the conflict between the village and the ethnic group.
If you can stand at a higher starting point than others, who is willing to lower your foundation and stand out from the crowd?
This is bound to be a daunting problem.
In a short time, Taketori Shinsuke passed Rokuzawa's order to the ears of every clansman, and all the Taketori ninjas also gathered towards Rokuzawa's location.
There were many foreign ninjas in the camp who faintly smelled a strange smell, but they didn't dare to ask too much, so they just stood from the side and watched.
They were curious about what this group of Taketori ninjas was suddenly going to do.
However, there are also more vigilant mist ninja reports to Terumi Ming.
"My lord, the Taketori clan suddenly gathered, and I don't know what they want to do!" The messenger knelt down in front of Terumi.
Glancing at the watch placed next to him, Terumi said calmly: "The time for the next round of siege is coming, they should be preparing for the next battle!" ”
"But ......"
The messenger was still a little uneasy.
After all, the Taketori clan had a dangerous record of rebellion in their previous lives.
At this particular time, it was difficult for him to have complete trust in the Taketori clan.
"Don't worry, with an army of ninjas pressing down, there's no point in whatever they want to do!" Terumi replied with a smile of comfort.
"Yes, my subordinates are disturbed!"
The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly withdrew from the tent.
At the same time, after ordering Taketori Shinsuke to arrange an enchantment to isolate the exploration, Rokuzawa said earnestly to the many clansmen, "Everyone, we will face a sinister battle next. ”
"And before the war begins, I have something to tell you."
Everyone nodded, thinking that he was talking about the impending siege.
However, the next words completely exploded in the crowd.
Rokuzawa continued: "When it is nine o'clock, I will order the first column to attack together with the second column. ”
"But you are not included in the attack, you must continue to stay with me, and no one shall be dispatched without my orders."
"Why is that, Agent Rokuzawa?" Someone asked, puzzled.
"Because I have a new plan that I need your help me to implement!" Rokuzawa said ambiguously.
"New plans? That's fine, too! ”
Everyone nodded, and did not continue to delve in.
For this acting patriarch, they have absolute trust.
He said to the east, then to the east, and he said to the west, and then to the west.
"But until then, I want you to keep this secret and not to reveal this news to anyone!" Rokusawa instructed again.
The main purpose of this move is to make this scene more realistic.
If it is known by other fog ninjas, it will definitely be troublesome at that time.
