The situation became clear through the exchange and exchange of information.

The wolf's father-in-law, the huge ninja Owl, is the biggest traitor to the Hirata family tonight.

The wolf took out the key he had on his body and opened the hidden hall.

His mind began to think as hell as the Savior.

The stepfather gave him the key 'on his deathbed', which was to lead him here, and then fight Madame Butterfly, who had already been defeated by betrayal.

And regardless of the outcome of this battle, only one thing is certain -

Miko's defense will be extremely weak!

That is to say, the righteous father he. Do you want to hurt the owner?

"How, wolf?"

The kunai between Madame Butterfly's fingers still didn't relax, and those dead eyes were nailed to the wolf's body.

"After knowing the truth, are you still loyal to the Reeda Hirata clan and to your master, Kuro-sama?"

A rare wolf, who has always been as neat as a knife blade and never drags mud and water, grits his teeth repeatedly at this time.

The masseter muscles bulged and fell on his face, like a fluctuation in his heart.

After a few moments, the diminutive ninja regained his composure.

He withdrew the katana in his hand from its scabbard, put his right hand into a fist on the ground, and half-knelt down to face Miko beside Lan En.

He bowed his head deeply and shouted softly, "Miko-sama." ”

The attitude is clear.

In the teachings of the owl, the first priority of a ninja on the surface is 'the supremacy of the master'.

But in private, his stepfather used to say to him, 'Except for his parents.'

But now, when the righteous father and the wolf himself uphold the loyalty conflict, this ninja, who has always only obeyed orders, has made his own choice in the turbulent mood.

He has to protect Miko Kuro, he has to protect this child. Never give up!

"Wolves!" Miko trotted over, a pair of small hands on the wolf's shoulders.

Compared with the warriors of the Ming Kingdom who are just 'not suspicious', the wolf who gets along day and night can bring him more firm faith.

"I see."

Lann nodded.

"Then let's do some pre-arrangement now."

——

The tall giant ninja landed silently. It's like weight, frighteningly thick hair, clothing, weapons. Everything in him will not be an obstacle to his stealth.

Even if he stepped into the muddy water on the ground inside the temple, he could make sure that he would not make the slightest noise.

The two commanders of the Lone Shadow Clan, Zheng and Zhengchang, are now gone, but Xiao doesn't think there's anything wrong.

The other party was originally subordinate to the inner government, and the concern of this operation was only to destroy the Hirata clan and weaken the national power of Ashina.

Whether Miko Kuro was captured alive by them or died in the chaos of the soldiers, it didn't matter to them.

But Owl is different, he is not just a simple renegade ninja.

It is not so much that his action this time is to take refuge in the letter of surrender given by the Inner Government, but that even this reason is just a façade.

What he really wants is only Miko Kuro!

And now, he's almost there.

The butterfly lay on the ground, the blood flowing, and the wolf was in the gasp that had just been dealt with the enemy.

The hairy old man grinned silently, his expression of joy was still silent.

Inch by inch, he pulled out the ninja knife behind his back that was almost identical to the weapon that the snake had hidden.

If you stand in front of you, you will stab the wolf in the back of the heart!

"Ding!" There was a crunch sound.

Xiao's eyes that narrowed with laughter under his long eyebrows suddenly widened!

Because his righteous son is now using his back knife to directly stop his hidden stab!

The plan is not right!

The moment he realized this, the old and spicy ninja immediately pulled away and flew back.

But even if he was decisive to this point, his old fellow who was lying on the ground gave him a hard blow.

Madame Butterfly, who was originally bleeding in the eyes of the owl and had not swallowed a little breath left, suddenly raised her hand, and a narrow kunai with a sharp blade shot towards the owl's face!

"Woo!"

The giant ninja tried to turn his face sideways, but when he reacted, there was still one eye with the socket directly cut by the kunai!

Unable to delay any longer, the owl immediately ran towards the only exit of the Buddhist hall.

The blood that flowed from his face stained his eyebrows, beard, and placket red, and with his fangs and claws and his physique, he looked like a raging beast.

Just as the beast was about to rampage towards the exit, a figure stepped out from behind the wooden pillar.

The palm of the hand with the studded leather gloves gently pressed against the wooden door at the exit of the temple.

Suddenly, a burst of purple magical aura covered the only exit like a curtain of water.

Magic Trap - [Seal of the Ardenes].

The owl, who had a violent expression just now, immediately turned lightly like a civet cat at this time, and landed in the center of the Buddha hall, without rushing into the light curtain that he had never seen before.

And the fury on his face disappeared as if it had never appeared.

This old and spicy ninja is always thinking about disguise.

"Oh, that's interesting."

The only remaining eye scanned around silently. Under the thick beard, the lips move.

"Wolves and butterflies are all about it. The samurai lord from the Ming Kingdom would actually use such a despicable method? ”

Lan En withdrew his hand that had arranged the [Ardennes Seal] and patted it gently.

"I'm sorry, but my morals aren't the same as those of the samurai on your side. I don't feel offended by anything you want to say. ”

The owl looked at the wolves and butterflies slowly surrounding him, and slowly lowered his body and tensed his muscles.

"Don't feel offended? I think you're a ninja! Infiltrate Hirata's house! Ninjas with other plans! ”

"Wolves! Butterfly! Don't be fooled by him! Listen to his breathing! Look at his steps! When I came in, I didn't even notice that he was standing behind a pillar near the exit! With this kind of breath-holding attainment, you still think he's a samurai?! ”

"Don't slander people, old man."

Lan En pulled out the Sword of the Lake Maiden from behind his back and weighed it in his hand with a smile, increasing the feel.

"This is what I have worked so hard to cultivate, the ninja book of the Lonely Shadow People, have you forgotten?"

"Forget? How long are you going to fool me and wait for the reeds! ”

At this time, the owl was like a grieving and righteous man who watched the humiliation of the lord's family.

"If in less than ten days, you can practice to your level with an unguided ninja book, why do ninjas like us need to teach each other?"

After saying something, what Xiao said was sincere and determined.

If a third-party is allowed to judge on the spot, most of them will not think that this old man with a sad and desolate face is a villain.

However, the three people who surrounded him in the middle in a triangle had expressions that were playful except for coldness.

In the eyes of the owl, letting Lan En ask for advice while the wolf was resting was not a guide at all.

But the wolf could clearly feel his progress every time he saw Lane.

It can be said that Lan En's ninjas held their breath and silenced their voices, all of which were practiced by wolves.

In the eyes of the owl, the most unreasonable and suspicious place is the most unsuspecting place.

The plan of quibbling and diverting attention was declared bankrupt.

The corners of the giant ninja's mouth twitched, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and clenched the blade.

The rest, can only be handed over to the knife to speak.
