Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 196: Rebellion in Kyoto
"Hiss~ As expected of the Daimyo's guardian ninja, what terrifying strength! Let's go, the Hokage has sent reinforcements, let's hide in the surrounding area for now, we can't go to Kyoto, anyway, the Hokage's order is to the capital, so we just need to stay there."

In a straw bale in a farmland outside Kyoto, a snake and a monkey hid in the straw bale and watched the hundreds of samurai walking away from the road, enduring the severe pain in their shoulders and whispering.

The capital area does not only refer to Kyoto, but also includes many areas around Kyoto, where small towns and villages can be seen everywhere, the economy is prosperous, and the population is large.

"What a fool the daimyo is! We just robbed one family, but he actually sent out the guardian ninjas around him and these samurai. Don't you want to guard Kyoto anymore? He can just dispatch thousands of samurai!"

With the status of a daimyo and the power he controls, there are a large number of ninjas at home and abroad who are willing to work for him, and he has no shortage of guards and samurai around him.

In addition to the support of the nobles, they were hunted down by a large number of ninjas and samurai after only one success. Even some wandering ninjas attracted to the gambling arena were affected.

The two complained and then left the haystack and headed in the opposite direction of Kyoto after seeing the samurai army going away. However, not long after they left, several ninjas chased them there. The leader was a woman with short purple hair and a loincloth with the word "fire" hanging around her waist, which symbolized her identity and status.

She bent down and picked up the bloodstains left in the haystack and said, "There's no time to clean up the bloodstains. It looks like they haven't gone far. Chase them!"

"Yes, Master Dongmao!"

Thousands of warriors and horses were galloping on the road, raising dust. The bustle of this place could be felt from a long distance away.

Hundreds of ninjas were searching inside and outside the city. Countless stray ninjas were affected and had to leave Kyoto. Some of the hot-tempered ones started fighting with the ninjas in the city on the spot. The whole Kyoto seemed a little chaotic.

But as the daimyo and nobles continued to exert their efforts, the ninjas who were causing chaos in the city were quickly dealt with, and the rest became much more obedient when they saw the corpses hanging on the city walls.

"Hahaha, you actually dare to come here to cause trouble. You are really a group of people who cannot recognize reality. What do you think, Izayoi-kun?"

In an ancient house covering an area of ​​30 acres and with three entrances and three exits, the Minister of Finance, Matsuzuru Keiyuki, listened to the report of his samurai and spoke happily to Izayoi, who was invited by him.

Izayoi, who was wearing a half-face mask, didn't care about Matsukaku Keiyuki's hint and just nodded calmly. He had already received Shisui's letter, and the one who came here was just a shadow clone.

In fact, if Yan Shifan had not frequently written to him asking him to keep in touch with Matsuno Keiyuki, he would not have bothered to send his clone.

As for the rest, since Yan Shifan said that the other party would come over on their own initiative as long as the time was right, he was too lazy to waste any more effort.

"Although they are just low-class people, their presence has affected the underground gambling arena. What do you plan to do, Izayoi-kun?"

Matsuno Yoshiyuki also participated in the gambling arena. Although he was very wary of Izayoi, he thought it was not a bad thing to make money.

"With the Daimyo's guardian nin here, I believe we can quickly deal with these guys. Lord Songhe, don't worry."

"Hehehe"

Matsuno Yoshiyuki laughed dryly. It was obvious that these sudden influx of bandits had a great impact on him. After all, he had lived in a safe environment since he was a child. It was the first time for the nobles in Kyoto to encounter ninjas who dared to attack them so unscrupulously.

"What Izayoi-kun said is true, but the reason I invited you here today is actually to introduce someone to you. I believe you will be interested in this."

"Oh?"

Izayoi's heart moved, and he thought that Matsuno Yoshiyuki had finally figured it out, and was ready to introduce him to Jiro and Shichiro.

Unexpectedly, Matsuno Yoshiyuki clapped his hands, and an ugly old man with a hunched back slowly walked into the hall.

Izayoi's eyes under the mask moved, and he recognized that this person was Scorpion, who had recently become famous in the gambling arena and called himself the Eternal Art.

With the Sharingan, Izayoi knew clearly that the opponent's body was just a dead object, that is, a puppet, and the real body was inside the puppet.

It's just a puppet, a trivial trick. Shizayoi remained calm, with his head slightly raised, not taking the other party seriously at all.

"No wonder I haven't seen him in the gambling arena recently. It turns out he was recruited by Master Matsuno."

"I admire Scorpion's art very much, and originally I just wanted to support his artistic research, but there have been serious incidents of banditry recently, so I wanted to ask Scorpion for help."

Matsuno Yoshiyuki smiled and then invited Scorpion to sit down.

"Your look is disgusting."

A hoarse voice came from Fei Liu Hu Nei, which made Matsuno Yoshiyuki's smile come to an abrupt end.

"Oh?"

Izayoi crossed his arms and became interested.

"Are you talking to me?"

The three magatama appeared, Izayoi crossed his legs, supported his face with his hands, and looked at Scorpion with a smile.

The two men looked at each other, murderous intent spread in the hall, and the ninjas hidden around immediately appeared and protected Matsuno Yoshiyuki behind them.

Matsuno Yoshiyuki's face changed. If the two of them fought and the daimyo knew that he had contact with the Uchiha people, it would be troublesome.

"Uh hahaha, please give me some face. I invited you two today just to get to know each other. Why get angry?"

Scorpion had a slight liking for this minister who appreciated his art, and the other party had invested a lot, giving him enough funds to repair the puppet. The ninja who died in the gambling arena also saved him time looking for materials.

Izayoi didn't want to attract attention, so the two of them dropped the topic. The subsequent discussions revolved around suppressing bandits, which was quite boring. Neither Izayoi nor Scorpion were interested, but they did not leave because of Yan Shifan's order.

On the other side, the monkey and snake who escaped from Kyoto found the rabbit and dog who also escaped.

When the four of them met, there was no greeting, only a sincere "Run!"

The four of them had realized that they were being targeted, and they fled in a panic. However, there were large numbers of warriors blocking their way in crowded places on all sides, so they had no choice but to flee towards country roads.

"That's it. Tell me the truth. Who ordered you to come to Kyoto to cause trouble?"

After passing through a dense forest, a kunai fell from the sky and blocked the four people's way.

Dong Mao landed, put one hand on his waist, and stood casually in front of the four people. Dozens of ninjas and samurai quickly surrounded them.

"only one."

The four of them looked at each other. Although there were many people around them, they still had a chance to escape if only Dong Mao led them.

"There's more than one~"

Dong Mao saw what the men meant and sneered. Then he saw a strong man with short hair coming from the woods behind. It was Beizi. Beizi stood behind, staring at them blankly.

"Trouble"

With Dongmao and Beizi around, it would be impossible for them to escape in a short time. Once they are entangled, more and more people will come to surround and kill them.

"Do it!"

They had not yet figured out a plan, but Dong Mao had already waited for his teammates, so he naturally would not waste any more time. At a command, the surrounding ninjas and samurai immediately rushed up.

The warriors brought by Dong Mao can also use chakra. Although they are called warriors, they are no different from ninjas.

The crowd surrounded and killed the four men, and the sound of iron clashing was endless. However, Dong Mao and the other man did not move forward but instead attacked from the side.

After a while, the four people who had escaped all the way had obviously decreased in both physical strength and chakra, and it became increasingly difficult for them to deal with the siege of the crowd. In addition, Dong Mao and the other two were watching them, which doubled their pressure.

The four knew that they would not be able to escape, but they would only die. They were all sealed, so even if they were caught, the other party would not be able to ask anything. Moreover, after killing nobles for several months and seeing so many things, even though they were numb from the war, they were still angry at the nobles' behavior.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine how outrageous these guys are. Compared to them, the roots seem kind.

puff~
His physical strength was constantly being consumed, and he accidentally stabbed the monkey's shoulder with the long knife. In the helpless and sad eyes of the three people, Dong Mao and Bei Zi seemed to have received a signal and rushed towards the monkey at the same time.

"Everyone, see you at the memorial."

With a "whoosh", the kunai pierced into the flesh, but the imagined pain did not appear. The monkey's expression under the mask was stunned, and he looked at the strange scene in front of him in shock.

Not only him, but everyone in the field was shocked by the sudden change.

"North."

Blood oozed from the corners of Dong Mao's mouth. She looked at her former teammates around her with deep doubts in her eyes, but her heart was pierced and she began to lose strength rapidly.

Beizi's face was calm. He twisted his hand hard, and Dongmao's heart was completely destroyed. He was no longer able to struggle and soon fell to the ground, dead.

"Master Beizi, what are you doing? How can we surround and kill the bandits without Master Dongmao?"

"Damn it, Beizi betrayed the Daimyo-sama, kill him!"

Although everyone didn't know why Beizi did this, it was obvious that the person in front of them was standing against them.

Although their strength was not as good as Beizi's, they did not believe that these five people could kill them all before the reinforcements arrived.

However, ten minutes later, when the last three ninjas were cut off from retreat and surrounded and killed, the reinforcements they longed for still did not arrive.

The four of them were extremely tired and looked at Beizi warily. They didn't quite understand why Beizi chose to help them.

"Are you the one sent by the higher-ups to support us?"

The monkey was careful not to mention the Hokage.

But Beizi just stood there, expressionless, and ignored the monkey.

"Your Mightiness?"

"Don't shout, he's not the one, I'm the reinforcement."

While he was wondering, a voice came from the woods, and a man wearing a black haori and a half-face mask walked slowly towards him. It was Izayoi.

The four of them looked past Beizi and behind him, and the first thing that caught their attention was the pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.

"Sharingan, it's actually from Uchiha!"

Several people were shocked, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Beizi did not react at all, which was totally unlike a normal person.

"Could it be!"

The snake spoke first, his voice trembling.

Izayoi came to Kitako and stabbed him in the heart with a knife.

Beizi finally broke free from the control of the illusion. In the last moment of his life, he opened his mouth with unwillingness in his eyes.

"Uchiha!"

This knife completely freed him. Izayoi then took away the bodies of Touma and Kitako with a scroll, and then said, "Let's deal with the other bodies and leave here first."

"Yes!"

The four of them agreed immediately, and after burning the bodies together, they followed Shizayoi and went away.

After arriving at a secret underground cave, the four men discovered that out of the twelve people who had escaped from Kyoto, ten of them had arrived, including them.

"What about rats and pigs?"

"Both of them" someone sighed, his tone heavy.

"The two of them were surrounded in the city and failed to escape from Kazuma. Now they are hung on the city gate."

Long gritted his teeth and said, it's fine to kill them, even if they use their bodies to obtain information, they can accept it, but now they are hung on the wall like bacon, it's really abominable!
Izayoi shook his head to attract everyone's attention, then said: "I will take the body away, you don't have to pay attention to it. From now on, contact the surrounding Chunin and deal with the nobles scattered outside the city one by one. Move slowly, but on a large scale! I will help you secretly, don't worry."

"As for what's happening in the city, you don't have to worry about it for now."

"Yes!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The defenses of the big shots in Kyoto were indeed tight, and it would be difficult for them to kill one silently with their strength.

Everyone received the order, took a short rest and then left separately that night.

Since the Chunins received orders much slower than them, few of them entered the capital even after Kyoto was placed under martial law.

So they quickly found some Chunins outside the city and worked together.

Izayoi used the intelligence personnel left in the city by Yan Shifan to monitor the movements outside the daimyo's mansion, and immediately sent a message to Izayoi once the ninja team around the daimyo set off.

In just three days, three noble families outside Kyoto were killed, but the army in the city could not find any trace of the bandits.

Not only that, three days later, Daimyo finally got accurate news that Beizi and Dongmao, who had gone out of the city to pursue the enemy, had completely lost contact, and the team they led had also turned into ashes beside a dense forest outside the city. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have died.

For a moment, the daimyo was furious and Kyoto was shaken.

The nobles inside and outside the capital have different mindsets.

On the fourth day, nobles from outside the city began to pour into the capital.

On the seventh day, a tragedy occurred in the capital, which was originally relatively safe. Some wandering ninjas in the city learned that most of the guards of a noble family were sent outside the city to track down bandits. Taking advantage of the lack of defense in the mansion, they took the opportunity to cause chaos. They rushed into the mansion, killed all the people in it, and emptied the wealth that had been stored in the mansion for many years.

Their success stimulated some wandering ninjas in the city, and for a moment the atmosphere in the entire Kyoto became extremely depressing and bloody.

Some people even broke into Songhe's mansion, but were shot into a hornet's nest by a series of thousand arrows.

The daimyo also gave decisive orders and bloodily suppressed the rebellious ninjas, which restored peace to the capital.

However, the number of ninjas going out of the city to hunt down bandits has been greatly reduced, and every family is in a panic, fearing that their homes are not well prepared and someone will take the opportunity to kill them.

The nobles were only willing to guard the capital and were no longer willing to go out of the city to search for criminals. The number of ninjas and samurai under the daimyo's command suddenly became dwarfed.

For a while, sighs were heard continuously in the Daming Mansion.

“Who can relieve my worries?”
