When the red light of the red setting sun envelops the land.

When Yamanaka returned to the Fuso Daimyo Mansion with Tsukiichi and the other two Nakashinobi, he saw Inoue Fumiei already standing on the steps waiting for them.

Inoue Wenying stretched out his hand and ordered the three middle shinobi behind him to go back and rest, after all, the next conversation doesn't need so many people to know.

"Wenying, it is my responsibility to lose so much in this mission. It was because I didn't perceive the other party's secret technique that caused this loss. ”

"I'll ask the fifth Hokage-sama for guilt when I get back."

Taking over the sealing scroll where the corpses of the dead ninjas in Konoha Ninja Village were placed, Inoue Fumiei said with a serious expression: "I am also responsible for this mission as the deputy captain, and I will explain it to the fifth Hokage-sama when I go back." ”

"Wenying, you!"

Inoue Wenying said with a smile: "Mr. Haiyi, both of us are in charge of this mission, and of course the responsibility for mistakes in the task is shared together." ”

Warm currents surged in Yamanaka's heart, and he was the person in charge of this mission personally ordered by the fifth Hokage. More than half of the ninjas in Konoha Ninja Village were killed in this mission, and of course he was responsible for Kaichi Yamanaka.

Seeing that Kaichi Yamanaka wanted to speak and take the blame on himself, Inoue Fumiei opened the topic out loud. "By the way, Mr. Haiyi, how did you kill that dangerous guy in Kakuto? Recently, the information sent showed that that guy was a figure from the same era as the original Hokage-sama. ”

When Yamanaka heard that the characters of the First Hokage era were immediately attracted to all their attention, he asked in surprise, "Where did you get this information?" Is this information true? ”

"It's true."

Inoue Fumiei took out a love newspaper and handed it to Kaichi Yamanaka, and said: "This is a document from the time when the dark department was first established, which records that the first Hokage-sama was once assassinated by a ninja from the Taki Ninja Village, although his assassination failed, but he still escaped from the hands of the first Hokage-sama. ”

"Is this one who survived the assassination of the first Hokage-sama Kakuto?" Yamanaka said with a blazing eye.

"It sounds unbelievable, but all the information suggests that the two of them are the same person." Inoue Wenying hesitated for a moment, but still said out loud: "And it is because of this assassination of the original Hokage that the Takishi Ninja Village can become the only village that is not the five major ninja villages can have tailed beasts." ”

"What!"

Yamanaka Haiichi exclaimed, "The strength of this Kakuto was able to prompt the first Hokage-sama to hand over the Tailed Beast as a weapon of war to the Takishinobi Village. ”

"Haiichi-sensei, the reason why the original Hokage-sama divided the tailed beast was for the peace of the ninja world, and the quality of the senior ninjas in Takishinobi Village at that time was the strength to provoke conflicts in the ninja world, so in order to win over Takishinobi Village." Inoue Fumiying raised his eyebrows and said, "We, the second Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, deliberately vetoed the proposal of the first Hokage-sama to hand over the two tails to the Takishi Ninja Village, and instead handed over seven of the nine tailed beasts to the Taki-ninja Village. ”

"Giving the Seven Tails to the Takishinobi Village, isn't this improving the strength of their village?" Yamanaka said suspiciously.

"Haiyi-sensei, have you forgotten the difficulty of the Nine-Tails in our Konoha Ninja Village?" Inoue Wenying said pointedly.

A cold sweat appeared on Yamanaka's forehead at the mention of the Nine-Tails Disaster, which reminded him of that terrifying night full of red light, when he, along with other middle-aged ninjas, was responsible for supporting the three generations of Hokage and a group of elderly ninjas as backup ninjas.

Inoue Fumiei saw Yamanaka's reaction and knew that he had personally experienced that disaster, and the strategy of Konoha Ninja Village at that time was to use elderly ninjas as cannon fodder and middle-aged ninjas as the consumption strategy of post-filing combat power. It's just that the three generations of Hokage didn't expect that the fourth generation Hokage would sacrifice his life in order to keep the nine-tailed demon fox.

"Wenying, did you say that the second Hokage-sama handed over the Seven Tails to the Takishinobi Village for a special purpose?"

"Hey, hey!"

Inoue Fumiying chuckled under his breath, isn't that something obvious. Although the human pillar power is a strategic weapon, but not everyone is qualified to have it, like the Taki-ninja Village, a ninja village with more ninja-level ninjas, and every time the seven-tailed beast of the Taki-Ninja Village goes berserk, it will be a banquet to harvest high-level ninjas.

Now the hidden village policy of Takishi Ninja Village is because the last time the Seven Tails Ran Away took too many high-level ninjas, otherwise, with the strength of Takishi Ninja Village, it is definitely more difficult than the Rain Ninja Village under the leadership of Sanshoyu Hanzo.

Inoue Fumiei said with a smile: "The second generation Hokage-sama just made the distribution according to their own needs, and I think Takishinobu Village is also very satisfied with this arrangement." ”

Yamanaka Haiichi was choked for a moment, although the tailed beast is dangerous, but now no one in the five major ninja villages can give up this deterrent weapon.

"How are the ninjas of the four ninja villages doing now?" Yamanaka asked.

Inoue Fumiei pointed to the building complex on the right and said with a smile, "They are now resting in the guest rooms in the Daimyo's mansion, and they should be waiting for the message of the next move of the leaders of their respective ninja villages." ”

"So we're done with this job."

"Sort of!"

Inoue Fumiei spread his hands and said, "Our mission is a joint execution, and if there is a problem with one of the ninja villages, it will not be able to continue." ”

"I think the daimyo of the five great powers are secretly regretting releasing this mission!"

"I regret posting this mission." Yamanaka asked suspiciously.

"Of course." Inoue Wenying's eyes rolled around, and he said inexplicably: "These daimyo have the right to rule ordinary people, and of course they don't want a force that can shake their rule to appear." ”

Yamanaka said puzzledly: "We are just a few ninja villages on a mission together, and if there is a conflict between several ninja villages in the future, we will continue to fight." ”

"Huh!"

Inoue Fumiei laughed, and he had already expected Yamanaka's doubts. Although the system of one country and one ninja village has been established since the time of the first Hokage, for these daimyo who control the world of ordinary people, the five ninja villages with absolute force have always been a force that can shake their rule.

Therefore, on the surface, the three world wars of the five ninja villages were caused by the conflict between the five ninja villages, but without the five great names from behind, these three ninja world wars would not be so frequent at all. This time, the five ninja villages carried out the mission together, although it can't change the hardliners between the respective ninja villages, but there is a mutual peaceful communication channel, as long as this exchange does not stop, the era of understanding between the two to three or the five ninja villages may come, and then these ninjas who have mastered the force will not want the rights that these daimyo have!
