"Uchiha? I know you are a very powerful clan. I didn't expect you to be taken in as a disciple by the third generation Naruto at such a young age!”
He was already very familiar with the names of Orochimaru and the other two, but this was the first time he had met them. When he heard the surname Uchiha, he was a little surprised. He knew a lot about this clan. After all, the Naruto of Koba was appointed by his name. However, as one of the ancestors who founded Koba, Uchiha had never been Naruto. The reason was simple. Everyone in Koba was full of fear and resentment towards Uchiha. How could she not know his name?
He was surprised that the third generation Naruto would accept a child of the Uchiha clan as his disciple. It was really unbelievable.
"Big name, you flatter me!" Pi said nonchalantly.
"I'm not exaggerating. Everyone in the Ninja Realm knows how powerful the Uchiha clan's Shurunyan is!”Daimyo shook his head but didn't dwell on this matter. He continued," You should know about the situation. The Wind Country's Assassination Ninjas are still hiding somewhere around Daimyo Mansion. Nine of the 12 Ninjas are dead and the other three are seriously injured. So, it's up to the four of you to protect Daimyo Mansion!”
Speaking of this, Daimyo felt very helpless. Even though he was the name of a country and controlled countless armies, in the face of the assassination of a few dozen ninjas, this army was useless. The difference in strength between ordinary people and ninjas was too great. This feeling was really stifling.
"I understand, Lord Daimyo. Leave the rest to us!”Orochimaru nodded and said.
The daimyo nodded and left with a group of retainers.
"Orochimaru, what should we do?”Okami asked doubtfully. The four of them were guarding a daimyo mansion, and they were really short on manpower. She did not expect the twelve ninjas to all be wiped out.
"When I came, Teacher Yuan Fei already explained the current situation of the Daming Manor to me!”Orochimaru nodded and continued," Originally, Daimyo had two sons, four grandsons, and a granddaughter. However, after the assassination in Sanin Village, one son and three grandsons died. Now, only one son, one grandson, and a granddaughter are left. Adding Daimyo himself means that we have to protect four people. Therefore, the four of us will be carrying out missions separately!”
As for the others, they couldn't care less about that. They were the retainers of the daimyo. If the retainers died, they could find someone else, so they didn't have to protect them. Although it was cruel, in this cruel world, even the lives of ninjas were as worthless as ants, let alone a few retainers.
However, the target of the village was the daimyo and his descendants. If it was not necessary, they would not attack the retainers.
" Yukirai, you go and protect Daimyo's son. Tsunei, you go and protect Daimyo's grandson, and I'll protect Daimyo himself. As for Tsurugi…" Orochimaru couldn't help but look at Tsurugi. He hesitated for a moment before saying," You go and protect his granddaughter!"”
Okami and Kuraiya looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Actually, Orochimaru's distribution was very unfair. His son and grandson were protected by Okami and Kuraiya, two Shadow Level masters, while the granddaughter of Daimyo was protected by Haruka. Anyone could see that the status of men was higher than that of women. To put it bluntly, the granddaughter of Daimyo could die, but the son and grandson could not. Because these two might be the future Daimyo, and the granddaughter was at most a princess.
As for gathering together to protect them, that was not possible. The Daming Prefecture was very big, and everyone lived in different places. Moreover, the Sanin Village was very aggressive, so gathering together would be too big a target. Once Orochimaru and the other two were delayed, the Daming and his descendants would all be wiped out. Therefore, it was best to protect them separately. At the very least, they could spread the enemy out.
How could he not understand Orochimaru's meaning? He was a little angry in his heart. This was too much of a look down on people. Did he really hand them over to me to protect them just to be used as sacrificial objects?
"I understand. I will definitely protect her safety!”Gritting his teeth, he turned around and left.
Okami and Yukiya were stunned, but they soon understood and smiled bitterly. After all, he was just a child and had a child's heart. They were clearly implying that he could not protect the girl. No wonder he was angry.
"So cute!" Okami said, a little infatuated.
"Alright, let's cut the chatter. If possible, we need to provide some support to Lord Xu. Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he's not the kind of person who would give up protecting his target in the face of danger.”Orochimaru said helplessly.
"Aiyoyo, you stinky snake, you know how to care about people now?”Zilai said with a mocking expression.
Orochimaru shot a glance at Yukiya and snorted coldly, saying," He's Teacher Yuan Fei's disciple. If we let him die in this mission, then it won't be good for us to report back, right? Also, letting him follow along to carry out the mission this time was originally just to train him a little. He doesn't have the need or obligation to carry out the mission. To put it bluntly, this mission was originally a matter between the three of us!”
"Yes, yes, you can say whatever you want, okay?”Zirai waved his hand impatiently. He knew Orochimaru too well. This guy had always been like this, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Boom ~~~
At this moment, a series of violent explosions came from four places at the same time.
"Not good, it's the assassins from Sharen Village!”Zirai was shocked and quickly rushed over to where his target was.
"Tsunade, hurry up and act. We can't let anything happen to the person we're protecting!”Orochimaru instructed and rushed towards the courtyard where Daimyo lived.
Even without Orochimaru's reminder, Tsunete had already left his original spot to protect Daimyo's grandson.
According to the information given by Orochimaru, Naru headed towards the courtyard where Daming's granddaughter lived. Unexpectedly, a violent explosion occurred halfway. Looking at the surging waves, Naru knew that this was clearly a collision of ninjutsu. Someone was probably attacking the little princess. However, what puzzled him was that there was a ninja protecting the little princess. The commotion just now was obviously caused by the collision of the ninja techniques of the two ninjas.
As he thought about it, he quickly made his way to the courtyard where the little princess lived.
