Chapter 416: In a word

When the loess passed through the southern counties where the riots intensified, and arrived at Ishikawa Castle, the southern capital, his heart was heavy.

This time, he was personally commissioned by His Excellency Onoki Tsuchikage, who was appointed as the ambassador of plenipotentiary communication with the shogunate.

However, according to what has been seen along the way, the situation in the southern counties is indeed not optimistic.

Although the ninjas who came and went from high to high did not care much about the geographical obstacles, the loess rushed along the road, and everywhere they went, the bridges and roads were completely destroyed, and some of the towns passed by were also demolished, and the mob completely ignored all the rules and order, waving metal weapons everywhere and whistling from nowhere.

However, although the nobles and samurai armies who maintained the old order were completely gone, the southern counties did not fall into complete chaos and bloody slaughter as Loess imagined, and although the dried corpses of the nobles and samurai were hung everywhere on the trees, a new order based on the rebel mob seemed to have formed spontaneously in the towns and villages.

At the very least, there are still people working on the terraces, and the markets in the towns are still bustling with people.

It seems that this mob is still doing well after completely breaking away from the control of the nobles......

This is also quite different from the consistent perception of loess.

In the traditional cognitive concept of Iwakure, the daimyo is the mind of a nation, the ministers are the five senses that express the will of the brain, the nobles are the torso, the ninja are the hands that defend against foreign enemies, and the commoners are the feet that carry the weight forward; In this way, all classes and groups keep to themselves and strive for their own good life; So, how can there be a sense of freedom of movement on both feet?

Loess's face became more and more gloomy, and it was not until he arrived at Ishikawa County that he barely eased his expression.

The only pity is that the loess has not been able to meet the so-called "rebel rock hidden" along the way, otherwise he will definitely take it down and interrogate it!

"Loess Lord ......"

Perhaps he saw that something was wrong with Loess's expression, so the Red Earth who came to greet him didn't say much, but just directly introduced it to the mansion guarded by the Southern Border and introduced the current situation to him.

“…… I've seen everything along the way, so don't talk about the south! ”

After listening patiently to Chitu's words, Loess interrupted him with an impatient face: "How is the country of birds now?" What is the situation of the leech's ninja army? How many people are coming from the Konoha ninja army on the other side? ”

"Also, what exactly are their intentions? Do you have effective intelligence research? ”

Loess stopped, stood in front of the tall guard mansion, and said solemnly: "Besides, what kind of attitude do the nobles have towards the rebellious mob, have they said anything? ”

"Will you only punish the first evil or kill them all? Are these conclusive? ”

A series of interrogations suddenly left Chitu speechless.

"In that case, then I don't need to continue to talk nonsense with this group of people......"

Loess pouted towards the Guardian Mansion: "You tell him, I'll go directly to the front line of the Bird Country!" ”

“…… Yes, sir! ”

The terracotta, who had been counted down severely, also felt that his face was dull, but he could only salute with embarrassment.

"Also, where is the Shinobi Daluo in the shadows?"

Loess continued to ask.

He is also one of the high-ranking people in the rock who knows the true identity of Asura.

“…… The ninja army on the front line of the country of birds. ”

Chitu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice.

"You ...... guy"

The loess glared at him viciously.

Asura's identity is very sensitive, and the relationship between the Holy Land and the shogunate is known to be bad, if there is an accident on the front line, causing Asura's identity to be exposed again or he himself is encircled and killed, then Iwakuyun Yin Yin will lose a lot!

"In addition, I hope that there will be a minimum answer to the topic I just mentioned before I come back!"

Before leaving, Loess deliberately turned around and admonished.

"Understand ......"

Although he felt humiliated in his heart, Loess was the son of the Earth Shadow after all, plus he also had the identity of the Earth Shadow Auxiliary and the leader of the upper ninja class, the red earth was just from the Shadow Guard, so naturally there was no possibility of wrestling with it.

……

And the leeches, which entered a state of rotting after being extremely burnt, can finally breathe a sigh of relief after the arrival of the loess.

After all, although the Konoha ninja army on the opposite side did not attack, the team's surprise attack never stopped.

And after explaining the situation of the ninja army at a glance, Loess fell into deep thought.

According to the leech's report, although a large number of Konoha ninja troops were gathered in front, they maintained a certain degree of restraint in their actions, otherwise the ninja army of the leech would be defeated if Uchiha Tokumitsu was here alone.

"Are you sure it's some hot-blooded young ninjas who went out on their own?"

Loess confirmed again.

"Yes."

The leech replied in the affirmative.

Although the group of young Iwakuin ninjas were provoked by him through verbal squeezing, he did not directly give any orders to test the attack, and there was no evidence of death......

Thinking of this, the leech glanced at the Asura in the corner.

"This guy shouldn't talk much......"

The only one who may know something about the inside story and will say it unscrupulously is this mysterious "Shadow Ninja".

"I see, you stand down, let me ...... quietly"

After pondering for a moment, Loess sent the leech away.

"Mr. Asura......

There were only two people left in the tent, and Loess no longer pretended to be ignorant, and immediately warmly invited Asura to come forward and sit down.

"Although there is something that is difficult to say, I hope Mr. Asura can mention it......

Loess said very modestly: "Excuse me, is what the leech said true?" What do you think of the shogunate's actions? ”

"Mostly true."

Asura said casually.

When Loess heard this, his heart immediately burst out - the so-called most of them are true...... It's just that there is a part of the meaning that does not match the facts!

"...... are you referring to"

"Those young ninjas didn't do it on their own, but they suffered some ......"

"I see."

Loess didn't want to listen to it anymore.

He had been on the throne for a while, and as soon as the Asura said it, he could naturally understand what was going on.

"Iwakuin ......"

The loess wants to speak and stops.

"The daimyo spent a lot of money, the nobles expropriated violently, and the ninjas killed excessively......"

Asura said expressionlessly.

"Uh......"

Loess was suddenly a little stunned.

"This is the unanimous thinking of the mob in the southern counties."

Asura said, "Moreover, the truth is exactly what they say. ”

"Is there anything else......

Loess sighed.

He naturally knew that what the Asura said was true.

But isn't this the village going to reorganize and fight, so the taxes are a little higher, but why don't those mobs have a sense of public loyalty to the country?

Besides, with the power of ninjas, it would only take a few hundred ninjas at most to wipe out the entire southern rebellion, and those mobs who seemed to be fangs and claws were simply unable to withstand the ninja army's crusade......

Why don't you starve in peace, but seek death with all your heart!

Could it be that the land country was destroyed by the shogunate, and could it be of any benefit to them?

Loess thought about it, but he didn't understand.

"Among the mobs in the southern counties, there are two main schools of thought......"

Asura slowly pulled out the information he had asked Ninja Frog to gather.

"The first is the royal faction, which advocates that the daimyo were deceived by the nobles and ninjas, which led to the decline of national power and the ...... of the common people."

"So they wanted to be able to expel the nobility and establish autonomous territories by literati and merchants, and henceforth only receive direct orders from the daimyo."

Hearing this, Loess couldn't help but shake his head.

What is the difference between the outrageous level of this request and the killing of those nobles?

"Rather, it is a reformist who believes that the daimyo nobles should be completely eliminated and all contact with Shinobi Village should be severed, and their leaders must be supervised by everyone and elected ......"

Asura continued, "And the supporters of the reformers are about five times as many as those of the king-honoring faction. ”

“…… The aristocracy is at fault, but so are the mobs. ”

Loess said slowly.

As for the specific rights and wrongs, he is not interested at all.

It's just that this time the riot, he thinks that there must be a black hand behind it, and it is definitely not as simple as the spontaneous civilians.

"Yes, yes."

Asura nodded and didn't say much.

It's useless to say more, after all, Shinobi Village is in the camp of the daimyo nobles, and the positions of the two sides are absolutely different.

"In Asura's opinion, how is the Iwakure Ninja Army?"

Loess diverted the topic.

"There are many people but the strength is weak, and it is barely okay to fight in formation, but it is still difficult to withstand the frontal attack of the shogunate."

Asura naturally said bluntly: "Plus...... It seems that Iwakure is not as united as he thought. ”

"Although the authority of the upper forbearance is strong, it is rotten; The middle and lower ninja was bloody, but he was thrown into the air before ......"

Asura hit the nail on the head and pierced the truth of Iwakuin that had been under the cover of the "Will of the Stone" all along: "For a long time, after the blood of the middle and lower ninja is worn out, the old fritter shinobi who grew up will continue to oppress the juniors like the predecessors they once hated the most!" ”

"It's okay if it's normal times, but now the shogunate is eyeing the front, but it's still going to eradicate the despicable means of dissidents, which is really despicable!"

"I don't even have the freedom to choose a ninjutsu that matches my own nature, can this produce a great ninja!"

"I see......"

Loess was in no mood to talk any further.

Asura's words have completely lifted the fig leaf of Iwakure, revealing the things that are invisible behind the scenes. For the loess, which is related to vital interests, it is not easy to move these.

"But aren't you going to change it?"

Asura heard the resistance in Loess's words.

"I understand...... Actually, we all understand! ”

Loess shook his head: "If you don't reform, sooner or later, Yanyin will fall to ......"

"But if it does...... It is estimated that Iwakuin is about to perish! ”
