Chapter 71
The old man was very angry.
"We were left with the control of the largest bounty in the Land of Fire. Finally, we didn't kill them all.
But is this mercy? How ridiculous!
What about you, the Fire Temple?
You gave up so directly? Didn't resist?"
Genjizuka exhaled, as if he had let go of something, but his words were full of reluctance. He turned to ask Wuming, the Fire Temple is not like them, the nobles. He holds a lot of power in his hands.
Should it be able to resist the invasion of the Sarutobi clan?
At this moment, he also realized his previous arrogance and realized why the head of the family, Genji Yasu, wanted to train his own ninja troops.
In this world, only force is the guarantee of power.
Ninja is the representative of force.
The uneasiness in his heart was constantly growing.
The bounty agency was the last trump card of their Genji clan, and also the last chance of survival.
"The power of the Sarutobi clan is surprisingly strong, and the resources they control are also rich.
The guild established by the Fire Temple was occupied for a short time. Isn't this the reason why we cooperate with them?
I just didn't expect that the Sarutobi family is so domineering!"
Wuming also sighed. Their loose alliance ended when Genji An did not ascend to the position of daimyo.
Now they are just gathered together for common interests. The Sarutobi clan was the first to abandon them for the sake of interests.
Wuming also had doubts in his heart, why Kazuma did not resist.
According to his understanding of Kazuma, it should be a vigorous battle, especially when facing Sarutobi Hiruzen.
His senior brother should exert his strength to the fullest.
Kazuma was full of resentment towards that fake [Jade].
"Yes! Too domineering, in the ninja world, eating alone will not end well."
Genji Tsukasa showed sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and seemed to look down on the Sarutobi family.
...
Bang~~Bang~Bang~
A rapid knock on the door sounded.
"Master Tsukasa, the head of the family was assassinated!"
A waiter rushed in and knelt down without waiting for any orders. Tears flowed unconsciously from his eyes, and his voice was at a loss.
"What? Genji An! How could he?"
Genji Tsukasa dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, his eyes widened, and asked in disbelief.
Genji An, the son of the daimyo who failed in the competition for the daimyo before, was assassinated now? How could this be possible?
"The head of the family, he, was assassinated."
The waiter confirmed again, and the sadness in his voice became more intense.
Wuming closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.
"Has the head of the family expected this?"
Genjizuka slumped on the ground, his eyes blurred by tears.
He recalled the teachings of Genjiyasu before, who repeatedly told him to keep the bounty house firmly in his hands when the Genji family encountered a crisis and could not resist.
He could surrender to the Fujiwara family because they were of the same origin.
The nobles would not completely destroy each other's inheritance like ninjas.
The Genji family bet their luck for the next hundred years on this fight for the daimyo.
In the end, they still failed!
The luck of their family has run out.
But such a reckoning is a bit too cruel.
In the history of the Land of Fire, there has never been a case where the successor of a daimyo who failed in the competition was assassinated.
They must show enough sincerity to the Fujiwara family to avoid being forcibly liquidated.
This sincerity is the bounty house controlled by the Genji family.
Now it seems that even the last bargaining chip of their Genji clan has been occupied by the Sarutobi clan.
"Wuming, please protect me and go to the capital of the Land of Fire to meet the daimyo, please!" Genjizuka asked in a trembling voice.
Finally, he bowed very politely, which was exactly the same as his attitude towards Wuming before.
Wuming was also immersed in this news.
He had seen a plan to assassinate the daimyo before, which was planned by his senior brother Hema. If Genji An succeeded in inheriting the daimyo, he would launch an assassination at all costs.
Could this assassination be done by Hema?
Recalling Hema's previous actions, his doubts became stronger.
Before he could think more, he was awakened by Genjizuka's gift, and he had the answer in his heart.
It must not be Hema, and it cannot be Hema!
Then it can only be the person who is hindering their interests now.
"As it should be!"
Wuming stood up and stepped forward to hold up
Genjizuka.
…
Two days after Genji Yasushi was assassinated.
Genjizuka also arrived safely in the capital of the Land of Fire.
Land of Fire.
The head of the Genji family, Genji Yasushi, was assassinated and killed, which caused a storm in the ninja world.
The Genji family is the most orthodox daimyo bloodline in the Land of Fire, but later the Land of Fire wanted to unite with Konoha Village, so the Genji family and the Senju family combined to form the Fujiwara family.
Both families have the same right to inherit the daimyo.
This phenomenon is no less than the assassination of the patriarch of the Uchiha family.
More people are speculating whether the new daimyo wants to eliminate dissidents. This is why he killed his former competitor.
In the daimyo's palace.
Fujiwara Wataru is meeting Genjizuka.
The meeting between the two seems full of harmony.
"Daimyo, the Genji clan is willing to give up the power in their hands and obey your orders." Genjizuka knelt down and respectfully presented a map.
"Do you also suspect that your head of the family was killed by someone I sent?" The new daimyo Fujiwara Wataru did not take the map from him, but asked.
"I don't know, your humble servant!
However, before this, the clan leader had already made arrangements. If you lose, you lose. In the future, the Genji clan will be a qualified minister."
Genjizuka dragged his knees, moved forward a few steps, hesitated for a few times, and replied.
Of course he doubted Fujiwara Wataru, but he could not show it. The loser must have the awareness of a loser.
"I don't know, I just don't believe me."
The new daimyo Fujiwara Wataru, although immature, also has some majesty, and his voice is questioning.
"Please, sir, give us justice. Our Genji family is the most prominent branch of the Fire Country. Now that the head of the family has been assassinated, there should be a result.
This is a map of bounty houses. It records the locations of more than 80 bounty houses in the Fire Country. Our Genji family has given up the financial power of the Fire Country and only seeks stability."
The resentment in Genjizuka's heart was stimulated by a few words.
After he finished speaking, the breath in his body was drained away, and he spread out the map in his hand, revealing the locations of all the bounty houses on it.
At this moment, he has realized that the weakness of his Genji family is a piece of meat that has been targeted. Only by giving up the power in his hands can he seek a glimmer of hope.
Behind the Fujiwara family, there are some ninja forces left by the Senju family.
And their former partners, the Sarutobi family, have betrayed them.
"I will give you an explanation, let Kazuma tell you the truth."
Fujiwara Wataru saw Genjizuka who had completely surrendered, and his mouth curled up. He had been forced into a desperate situation by the Genji family many times.
In the end, it was because of the thunder of the Third Hokage and Kazuma's divine assist that they turned the tables.
"The daimyo, the twelve guardian ninjas, once found traces of the Konoha Anbu in the Genji clan's residence, and did not say hello to us.
The leader was Sarutobi Shinnosuke of the Sarutobi clan."
Kazuma was no longer wearing that layer of monk's robe, but a set of armor. Now he has become a general of the Land of Fire, specializing in protecting the safety of the daimyo. He pointed the clue to the Sarutobi clan.
His words fell clearly into Genjizuka's ears.
Genjizuka was full of doubts. No matter what, he did not believe that the one who killed Genjiquan would be someone from the Sarutobi family.
"Why, you don't believe it? I heard that the head of the Sarutobi family has occupied almost all the bounty houses?"
Fujiwara Wataru frowned and asked in a fake manner, leading the topic to the bounty houses.
Genjizuka's mind was like being struck by lightning. Although there were still many doubts in his heart, he had made a decision at this time.
