"You're looking for Kazuma?"
Chiriku and Asuma Sarutobi exclaimed in unison.
For this teammate, who was also one of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, known for his radical views, and often clashed with them, they had a deep impression.
"It seems you all know him, that saves trouble," Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that a lot of things had indeed happened in the past six months.
What's more, the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, was an organization that had always existed, to protect the Daimyo.
Asuma Sarutobi and Chiriku, had only joined recently, but that didn't mean the others had.
"Teacher, why are you looking for Kazuma, that guy is weird, he should be in the Daimyo's mansion now, if you want to see him, with teacher's current identity, I'm afraid..."
Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but mutter.
As the son of a Hokage, he was completely a village second generation.
Facing a guy who kept saying that the Hokage didn't have the qualifications to control the real power of the ninja village, he was obviously a little unwelcome.
If Kazuma knew that they were mixed up with Uchiha Kai, who had recently started a war with the five major ninja villages.
He would probably be impeached because of this.
For the radical faction led by Kazuma, they would probably use this to provoke the Daimyo, and dismiss the Hokage's real power to control the ninja village.
Although, Asuma Sarutobi and his father, who always emphasized the importance of the village, didn't see eye to eye.
But he definitely couldn't watch them target him like this.
"Don't worry, I'll change my identity, and won't cause you any trouble," Kai smiled and patted Asuma Sarutobi's shoulder.
"Wis... teacher, I think it's feasible, recently the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, are still recruiting people, we can use this as an excuse," Chiriku hurriedly said.
Faced with this benefactor who casually sent out forbidden techniques, Chiriku really didn't have the courage to refuse.
Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't object either, and said: "It takes three hours to get to the Daimyo's mansion from here, however, I heard that the Daimyo is going to go to the ancient battlefield to worship heaven tomorrow, if we set off now, I'm afraid we won't make it."
Asuma Sarutobi still knew the principle of things changing if they were delayed.
Since they were going to take a risk, then they could only settle this matter as soon as possible, to be at ease.
However, they were curious about why Kai wanted to find Kazuma, who was also one of the Guardian Shinobi.
But they definitely didn't dare to ask.
"Set off to worship heaven?" Kai raised an eyebrow, he had also heard of this kind of worship habit.
He just didn't expect, to encounter it.
However, with only two days left before the decisive battle, there wasn't much time for him to waste.
After verifying his guess, there were still many things that needed to be prepared.
"Time is tight, there's only that move," Kai looked at Asuma Sarutobi and Chiriku.
Making the two couldn't help but be stunned, and before they could react, Kai's hands had already been placed on their shoulders.
"Don't!"
The sudden scene, made Asuma Sarutobi and Chiriku exclaim in shock.
Unfortunately, as soon as the words fell, the space-time vortex quickly emerged, and directly pulled their bodies in.
As the spatial fluctuations dissipated, the vortex annihilated in place, and the three figures completely disappeared in place.
The Daimyo's mansion, as the capital of the Land of Fire, was crowned with the title of the most important country, the Daimyo.
In addition to the local residents, most of the people who could move into the Daimyo's mansion, were also people with prominent identities.
Located in the Daimyo's mansion, the castle, whether day or night, was brightly lit, and the level of security, far exceeded the specifications of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Ten steps one sentry, a hundred steps one post.
With this kind of lineup, probably even elite jonin, with wings, flying through the sky, would be shot into hedgehogs.
The people who could pass through these checkpoints without being checked, apart from high-ranking officials, were only the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, who were known as the Daimyo's shield.
Perhaps because they were going to the ancient battlefield to worship, before dawn, five figures passed through the heavily guarded checkpoints, and arrived inside the castle.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" A man, closely following the man with the crisscrossing scars on his face, couldn't hold back and asked first.
"Nanmu, don't be talkative here, walls have ears!" Beside him, Hokuto, who had a rooster head, said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, this time two guys who have repeatedly clashed with us have come."
"If possible, I really want to solve them myself."
Listening to this, the more informative words, apart from the leader Kazuma, the others couldn't help but roll their eyes.
A moment ago, he was still saying that walls have ears, but now he was saying everything all at once.
The difference was a bit too big.
"Alright, let's not argue here, let's see what the Daimyo thinks first, if it doesn't work, we can only implement the final means," Kazuma said coldly.
As these words fell, the others' expressions couldn't help but change slightly.
They of course knew what Kazuma's means were.
However, they never expected, because of the recent events, that Kazuma might bring this step forward to this moment.
"Daimyo, we're here," Kazuma knocked on the door at the end of the corridor.
Soon, a lazy voice came.
"Kazuma, you're really early, come in!"
"Yes!" Kazuma responded, and pushed open the door.
What first entered their eyes was three men, wearing a fan on their heads, like a peacock spreading its tail.
Among them, according to the division of status in the original work, the size of the hats was also different.
"So even Hokuto and the others have arrived," the Daimyo suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand, and casually fanned it a few times, and said: "However, isn't this time a bit early?"
"I got news not long ago, that Chiriku and Asuma, will only be able to rush back in the morning, why don't we sleep a little longer, and set off when the sun is high in the sky?"
The middle-aged man in front of them, was the Daimyo.
However, facing the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, who were responsible for their personal safety, he still held a certain degree of respect.
At least, it could be considered to have some room for discussion, right?
"Wait for them to come back?" Hokuto's expression changed slightly.
Letting a group of people wait for two people, or wait for people who were hostile to them, they obviously couldn't put down this shelf.
However, before Hokuto could have more expressions, he was directly interrupted by Kazuma's gaze, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Lord Daimyo, Chiriku and Asuma's strength is good, but in this escort mission, the role they can play is very small, with Hokuto and the others, it is enough to form an iron wall-like defense line, I believe that even Uchiha Kai, who has been the most active in the ninja world recently, will not be able to harm the Daimyo in the slightest."
"It's just that not long ago, Uchiha Kai declared war on the five major ninja villages, causing the already unstable situation, to become even more chaotic."
"It's difficult to avoid whether Uchiha Kai, will, because he wants to make the Hidden Leaf Village throw a mouse, attack the Daimyo."
