Chapter 232: There is no wall-riding faction

Is Maki Hoshino a charismatic person?

He felt he was.

But he also understood that no matter how attractive he was, it would be impossible for him to just occupy Yanyin Village, and all the elders on the other side would be willing to bow down to his subordinates for him to drive.

Among them, some people may want to endure humiliation in order to revive, some people are worried that they will provoke revenge if they save face, and some people think that this is an opportunity to expand their power, and all kinds of ideas are possible, but Hoshino Maki doesn't care.

As long as these people are afraid of themselves and want power or security from them, then they can use it.

But one thing is important, and that is not to ride the wall.

At least not on the surface.

But Hoshino Mu considered that this group of old men had lived in Yanyin Village for many years, and they should not be able to get by in terms of face, so he simply helped them.

"I'm back."

When the woman heard this, she trotted all the way to the door, naturally took her coat, looked at her husband's gloomy ground, and said softly, "I came back very early today, is there nothing wrong?" ”

The elder shook his head and walked towards the dining room.

The woman took off her cloak in her hand, handed it to the servant beside her, and followed.

"Hasn't Chungji come back yet?"

The elder sat down and spoke.

"Yes, he was playing with his classmates at Pinggu's house yesterday, and he just called to say that he won't come back to eat today."

The woman couldn't help but smile doting at the mention of her child.

"I know how to play all day long, and it's a mess to practice ninjutsu!"

The elder snorted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Tadaji will be qualified for the middle ninja next year, and they are also very good in this class."

When it comes to her son, a woman rarely contradicts her husband.

Although the elder was confronted by his wife, his face was not displeased, but he just said stiffly: "You still need to temper at a young age, you look at the loess adult"

"Why don't you talk about Tsuchikage-sama."

The woman did not give an inch to the topic of whether her son was excellent or not, and continued: "It's not a good thing to be too dazzling at a young age, you look at that wind shadow, before the age of sixteen, he was just an ordinary middle ninja. ”

At the end, the woman seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and her voice became quieter and quieter, until the last few words were almost just open mouths.

The elder was not as hot as in the morning, he was silent for a moment, sighed, and silently picked up the chopsticks on the table.

Although he is an elder of the village, his diet is not luxurious, just four dishes and one soup.

Among them, there is his own clean and honest style, but there are also factors such as the poor overall economic situation of Yanyin Village.

As a ninja village whose population is second only to Konoha in population, but its economic level is only at the same level as the sand ninja before the mist ninja and Hoshino Maki came to power.

And the measures taken by Onoki are to plunder in addition to developing themselves.

This requires Iwashinobi's military to snowball, so Iwakuin Village's funds are greatly tilted towards the military, and Onoki takes the lead in being diligent and thrifty, so are naturally his subordinates.

Now that Onoki is gone, it's hard to say what it will be like in the future, but now, Onoki's bones are not cold, and no one dares to indulge at this time.

While the two were eating, there was a sudden rough knock on the door outside, and the servant hurriedly trotted to open the door, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw a young boy angrily pushing the door in.

"Young Master."

The servant was about to say something, but was pushed away, and the young man rushed into the restaurant, saw his father's back, and immediately clenched his fists and shouted, "Father! You are not a lackey of the sand ninja! ”

Everyone present was stunned, and in an instant, the elder's face turned red, and quickly turned blue.

The woman stood up abruptly, clapped and shouted, "Zhongji! How did you talk to your father, apologize right away! ”

The young man named Zhongzhi was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a click, and the steel chopsticks in the elder's hand broke in response, he slowly stood up, walked in front of Zhongzhi, his face was as gloomy as iron, and said slowly: "Who did you listen to?" ”

Tadaji shrunk his neck, although his father had always been very strict, he had never seen such a scary expression, but thinking of the embarrassment when he was kicked out of the house by his friends, he said with red eyes and a trembling voice: "It's spread all over the village, everyone is talking, everyone is saying that you and other uncles are in charge"

Tadaji's words weren't finished, but he already knew it completely.

The servant quietly left the room at some point, and the dining room was only a family of three, and the elder closed his eyes and raised his head.

It would be foolish for him not to understand who did this.

Just when his heart was full of emotion, his son's timid voice sounded in his ears: "Father, is this true? ”

He didn't know what to answer for a moment.

He respected, even admired, Onoki, but did not have the courage to sacrifice his life for him.

However, he also didn't want to be infamous as a traitor and become a lackey of the Wind Shadow.

But now, since the Wind Shadow has spread this matter, it is clear that everyone has to make a choice.

But it wasn't actually a multiple-choice question, not since he chose to attend the morning session.

Can anyone refuse Kazekage's kindness?

Perhaps, but at least he wouldn't dare.

At his age, he has a wife and children, and he is really not suitable to participate in labor reform.

Looking at his silent father, Tadaji bit his lip, the atmosphere in the restaurant was so oppressive and heavy.

Such a scene was also played out in seven other mansions, where quarrels and, at last, silence were the leitmotifs of these families.

At the same time, countless families in Yanyin Village were also talking in private about secretly scolding these once highly respected elders, and for a while, the reputation of the elders dropped to freezing point.

That night, the seven people went to the eldest elder's house to discuss secretly, and it is unknown what they discussed, but the next morning, three announcements were posted on the bulletin board under the Tsuchikage building.

First, Onoki's funeral is tentatively scheduled for the early morning of three days later, at the site of the former Iwakuin Village.

Eventually, Onoki returned to the place where he was born and was buried with his master and grandfather.

The second is that the original elders formally established the Council of Elders and temporarily managed the village on behalf of Tokage.

The resurrection of the elders who had already existed in name only in Sand Hidden City was resurrected in Yanyin Village, which fully demonstrated the usefulness of Buckle One.

Finally, and most of all, the Council of Elders has announced a solution to the previous murder of the Shinobi, a letter of advice, to be precise.

Roughly speaking, they hope that the murderer will voluntarily surrender himself, otherwise they will have to use the lottery to select a 'murderer' to appease the anger of the sand ninja.

Such a lack of morality idea, at first glance, is not something that the locals of Yanyin Village can come up with.

Of course, Kazekage-sama didn't mean to force an order, just a suggestion. However, he was pleased with the Elders' positive adoption.

"You're so despicable."

Luo Sha stood in front of the window of Kazekage's temporary office, looking at the crowd around the bulletin board, and couldn't help but complain.

A person who dares to assassinate a sand ninja, not to mention becoming a Buddha and becoming a saint, must have a higher sense of belonging to the village than the average, and let this kind of person accept his compatriots to die on his behalf, he will inevitably bear huge psychological pressure.

"Where, where, it's just a little bit of experience."

Although Hoshino Mu's moral bottom line is not much, he really can't support such a bad idea, but he has watched a lot of anti-Japanese dramas, whether it is a divine drama or a thunder drama, there will definitely be this bridge.

Although this section is rotten, it is still very effective to implement.

Luo Sha looked at Hoshino Mu, who was bowing his head to deal with official business, pursed his lips, turned his gaze back to the crowd, looked at the crowd that kept coming in and out, spreading the news to the whole village, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think he will turn himself in?" ”

"Yes"

Hoshino Mu put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, looked at the reply letter to Uchiha Fugaku in his hand, and said casually.

The Uchiha Shinobi Village has been largely completed, and Fugaku has invited him to attend the completion ceremony, and he still needs to write a reply.

"So sure?"

In Luo Sha's view, what does other people's lives have to do with themselves, and protecting oneself is the first priority.

Hoshino didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Who do you think would attack the Sand Shinobi when they just occupied it?" ”

Luo Sha thought for a moment, and also understood: "Young man, there is a great possibility of forbearance. ”

Hoshino Mu nodded: "That's right. If you let the experienced Shangnin make a move, most of them will wait for the situation to stabilize, and you and I will go back before making a move, which can not only play a deterrent role, let us cast a bogey, but also save ourselves as much as possible. This time, the poisoning method was rough, the time and place were not well chosen, and it was estimated that it was also a temporary intention. ”

"Do you know who it is?"

Luo Sha raised his eyebrows and spoke.

Hoshino Mu nodded, and shook his head again: "It's easy to know, there were so many people in the restaurant that day, young, and have a certain medical background, check their alibi again, it can be solved without illusion, however, this does not solve the problem." If we find this one, there will be the next, and if we execute him, it will even be counterproductive, stirring up people to rebel. ”

Hoshino said this, stopping to look at Raksha.

Luo Sha was listening, and suddenly he didn't have any words, and said with some doubts: "Go on." ”

Hoshino Mu pinched his eyebrows, how come these people don't use their brains by themselves?

I usually do too much work, so they are all dependent, and now I don't even bother to use my brain.

Hoshino pushed a piece of information about a member of the Council of Elders next to him to Raksha and raised his chin at him.

Luo Sha took the information, thought for a moment, and recalled the unconcealable resentful faces in those crowds that he had just seen, and suddenly realized: "Do you want them to help us attract hatred?" ”

"Part of it."

Hoshino Mu stood up and came to the window, looked at the crowd on the inner and outer three floors next to the announcement, and said, "If we have a direct conflict with the people of Iwain Village in Sand Hidden City, even a small matter may cause bloodshed. But if we had a native presbyterian as an intermediary, they would share a lot of our anger, and even they would be the first target of hatred in this village. Moreover, now that Sand Hidden City is developing rapidly, we can't afford to invest more energy here, so it can save a lot of trouble for the elders who are familiar with Rock Hidden Village to manage it for the time being. ”

The more Liu Lu, the better.

The use of two devils to govern the local area is also a common way in many countries.

Hoshino Maki's gaze is not limited to the Sand Hidden City Iwakuin Village, or the Land of the Wind, but the entire continent.

So even if there is no situation where Onoki commits suicide, he will not go on a killing spree.

Of course, these people from Yanyin Village will not believe it, this is also human nature, and he will not believe in the credibility of an invader.

"Aren't you afraid that they will turn against the water when the time comes?"

In the past, the occupation between ninjas was often accompanied by massacres and looting, and this kind of annexation at the level of the five ninja villages had never appeared, and Raksha didn't know if Hoshino Maki's way of handing over the occupied land to the locals would work without sending his own people, he didn't trust these people anyway.

Hoshino Mu smiled: "No, they don't dare to go against the water, even if they have different intentions, they don't dare for the time being." ”

Hoshino said, calling a shadow over and whispering a few words.

When the shadows left, Rosa asked, "What are your schemes?" ”

Hoshino Mu was accustomed to the emotional intelligence of the people around him who were not even as good as the doorman, and his ears automatically replaced the last word with a clever calculation, and said: "Arrange an assassination to let these old guys move their muscles." ”

Luo Sha pursed his lips, these people must be like frightened birds, desperately grasping the life-saving straw of Hoshino Mu.

Glancing at the calm and relaxed person in front of him, he was a little worried about the future path of the Wind Shadow in my Airo.

That night, an Elder's mansion was suddenly set on fire, and several men in black broke in to assassinate the Elder, but were repelled by the guards.

The next morning, a group of people rushed to the Tsuchikage Building to find Hoshino Maki and asked for additional guards for them, and repeatedly emphasized that they must be pure people of the Land of the Wind, and it is best not to have any contact with the Land Country at all.

"Your ploy has worked."

Luo Sha stood beside him, recalling the panicked appearance of the group of people just now, and couldn't help but speak.

Hoshino Mu's eyes looked at the backs of these people leaving, took a sip of tea, and said, "It seems that someone has seen my plan." ”

Facing Luo Sha's gaze, Hoshino Mu shook his head: "But it doesn't matter, I'm just reminding them to be safe." It's hard to say who we are today and who tomorrow will be. ”

The reminder was a two-way street, reminding the elders to stay safe and at the same time giving an idea to those hiding in the shadows.

The high-level sand ninja is not easy to kill, you can kill the elders!

Hoshino Maki drank the tea and stood up to put on the coat that hung on the wall.

"The collation of the ninjutsu scrolls and research materials in Iwain Village has come to an end, and the content is on the table, remember to deal with it, I still have something to go to the orphanage."

With that, Hoshino opened the door and left the room.

A minute passed after Luo Sha waited for Hoshino Mu to leave, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he slowly walked to his seat and sat down slowly.

This is the seat of the greatest Tsuchikage Onoki~

It's an ordinary stone, inlaid with some gems, and it's not as luxurious as his seat, but it just gives him a different feeling.

Is this the seat of the shadow?

Luo Sha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he threw himself into the fantasy.

This fantasy is so real, in the imagination, he is the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow, and he is what people call the 'Wind Shadow Lord'.
