Six hundred and seventieth chapters Shura congregation
After receiving Lei Luo's order, Fugaku took a few steps forward and squatted down. He opened his double kaleidoscope and looked at a masked ninja who was lying on the ground with half of his legs missing, and began the process of interrogating information.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
The equilateral triangle pattern rotated slightly, and the kaleidoscope illusion was suddenly activated. The ninja who looked at Fugaku shook violently, then calmed down, and replied in the dull tone of Furui Muha:
"We are Shuras, and this is our mission."
"Who sent you?"
"Not sure."
Not far away, when he heard the question and answer between Fugaku and the so-called Shura ninja, Lei Luo frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that there was a flaw in Fugaku's kaleidoscope illusion, so he put down his arms that were clasped on his chest and prepared to search in person.
Enemy memory.
At this moment, noticing Lei Luo's step, Lu Jiu guessed what the Hokage was thinking, and explained to Lei Luo in a low voice:
"Lord Hokage, the Shuras are a group of bounty ninjas. These people usually take tasks on the black market, and most of the time they don't know who their employers are."
Hearing this, Lei Luo stopped and looked at Shikaku, and saw that his face was very determined. After thinking for a while, he asked slightly strangely: "Bounty ninja? Black market? In other words, they can barely be regarded as mercenaries?"
Thinking of Kakuzu's profession and recalling the existence of the Xuanyuan Clan in the original work, Lei Luo roughly understood what kind of people the Shuras were, and Shikaku's answer also supported his judgment:
"They are similar in nature to mercenaries, but they are essentially just a group of wandering ninjas. They only adhere to the purpose of getting money to do things. Regardless of their strength or status, they are not qualified to participate in the Ninja World War."
A gang of wandering ninjas, but the members are not the powerful rebellious ninjas of the Great Ninja Village. These Shura people do not have the abilities of Akatsuki in the original time and space, but they have learned Akatsuki's behavior and have the courage to ambush Lei Luo. It is really a disgrace to their fate.
long.
Actually, this is not accurate.
After all, during the previous battle, judging from the reactions of the Shura members when they faced him, it was obvious that they neither knew him nor knew what his abilities were. Is this stupid? Or was he tricked by his employer?
Shaking his head and touching the Hokage hat on his head, Lei Luo couldn't tell what was going on with these Shura ninjas, so he didn't say anything more and focused on Fugaku's interrogation.
After a while, the Q&A was temporarily over. Fugaku stood up and turned to look at Lei Luo. Seeing that Lei Luo was also looking at him, he simply reported directly:
"Lord Hokage, the Shuras know who we are. According to them, they think you have a false reputation. In addition, the price for your life in the black market is extremely high, so they accepted the task of ambush you."
After Fugaku finished speaking, Lei Luo didn't have much reaction. He neither commented on the foolish behavior of the Shura people who wanted money rather than their lives, nor did he ask how much he was worth on the black market. He just asked lightly:
"Why would a group of bounty ninjas know...that we are going to appear here today? Time, location, and who provided them with the information? Have you asked clearly?"
"The information was provided by the employer, and the Shura people really don't know who the employer is, but..." After a slight pause, Fugaku organized some words and added with a serious expression:
"The Shura people have obtained our route map to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, and they also know that the departure time is in the near future, so..."
"These people ambush here a few days ago."
Lei Luo nodded slowly, as if a little irritated, raised his hand and pressed his neck, making a crisp click sound, which made Lu Jiu next to him look over and whispered:
"Hokage-sama, the only people who know our route and will set off in the near future, except for Nonou-sama and a few senior officials..."
"Daimyo." After saying these two words for Lu Jiu, Lei Luo put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. A serious expression slowly appeared on his face, and he said slowly:
"I didn't expect this situation to happen. It's so troublesome..."
Realizing that Lei Luo's words were sincere, Shengshu immediately said that he didn't quite understand. He coughed lightly and said with disapproval:
"Lord Hokage, with your strength and the strength of a few of us, no matter how many bounty ninjas sent by the daimyo, they are just cannon fodder. If you feel troubled, then I, the rope tree, am willing to help you..."
As he spoke, he noticed that Lei Luo was looking at him as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person. Shen Shu's tone could not help but become lower and lower, until he finally became silent.
On the other hand, Shikaku, perhaps feeling that the situation was a bit embarrassing, couldn't help but explain for Lei Luo: "Nasaki, the reason why Hokage-sama finds it difficult is not because of how difficult the battle is, but because..."
"Daimyo, you have realized that we are here with bad intentions."
Lu Jiu looked at Lei Luo with a questioning look, and when he saw the latter raised his chin to signal him to continue speaking, he put on a solemn expression and pointed at the group of Shuras on the ground:
"These guys are essentially cannon fodder."
"The daimyo knew the strength of Hokage-sama and our Konoha, but still chose to send Shuras to ambush us. In my opinion, this is not like a panic attack due to a sudden illness, but more like a warning."
As Shikaku's analysis continued, Fugaku and Hiru couldn't help but be attracted to the attention of Nogeki. They no longer struggled with Lei Luo's eyes just now, but looked at the Konoha think tank with curiosity.
.
"The daimyo knew very well how much the relationship between us had deteriorated due to the production of ninjas and merchants, but he still chose to cut off financial allocations after the Second Village Incident."
"Under such a situation, the Daimyo must have figured out how we would react, so he sent a group of insignificant bounty ninjas to block the road and intercept the Hokage. His intention is nothing more than to tell us..."
"If you insist on breaking up, then continue to the capital of the Land of Fire, otherwise just return to Konoha - I think this is what the Daimyo wants to express through the Shuras."
As Shikaku's words fell, Naoshu's eyes seemed to spin in circles. He was obviously stunned by Shikaku's logic.
As for Fugaku and Beiliuhu, one of them was serious and in a trance, and the other was confused and thinking. It seemed that even if their understanding was stronger than that of the rope tree, it was still limited.
"Where did they come from so many twists and turns?" Lei Luo glanced sideways at Lu Jiu inadvertently, with a little irritation on his face, and summed it up straightforwardly:
"To put it simply, the Shura ambush incident means that the daimyo is on guard against us, and it means that the daimyo is ready to fight with us. Of course, these are not important, the important thing is..."
"Daimyo, he will probably leave some backup to deal with various adverse situations that may occur."
