He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Stay away from him." The samurai narrowed his eyes, his thumb rubbing the katana at his waist.

"This guy exudes an evil aura; I can smell the dangerous presence emanating from him even from this distance."

The monk smiled slightly: "This humble monk has some self-awareness, thank you for your guidance."

The samurai waved his hand dismissively and said casually, "Stop with the formalities, show your gratitude with concrete actions."

The monk nodded: "Of course, the scenery of the red-light district after midnight is captivating. If you don't mind, why don't you come with me?"

"That's great!" The samurai laughed heartily, giving a powerful jolt.

The Jade Rabbit quietly climbed to the crescent moon, and the cool moonlight shone through layers of leaves onto the open woodland.

The most pitifully invisible group of oil women revealed themselves, reporting to Yuge Wuxian, who upholds the excellent work and rest habits of young people in the new era.

"Most of the city of Rose City is as usual, except that there are many more patrolling soldiers than usual. Apart from that, there are signs of heavy defense at the city lord's mansion."

"What about the city lord's own family?"

"There was no warning, and no one was around."

Fifty Strings raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm more inclined to believe that those people took away the protection of other people's relatives. What do you think?"

Uchiha Aoyama said, "Of course, it must be just as my brother said. Those despicable nobles are capable of doing such a thing."

"Using your family to threaten a nobleman." Kushina's expression was slightly strange.

Although she hadn't taken on many tasks related to nobles due to her own issues, she'd never been ignorant of the world.

Not all nobles are indifferent to their families, but most nobles certainly care about their own lives.

If it's a rushed situation, the person might have to choose between their family and themselves, but if given time to think, their survival instinct will kick in.

To expect that a nobleman could safely face misfortune with the help of his family alone.

It's better to expect that your wife, who goes out to a class reunion on a dark and stormy night and doesn't return home until noon the next day, will remain chaste.

"What is the layout of the City Lord's Mansion?"

“I didn’t get close, afraid of alerting them,” said the woman named Yang Guang.

"However, I can sense that the city lord's mansion is shrouded in a barrier, and the people coming in and out include samurai, onmyoji, shrine maidens, priests, and monks, and each of them has chakra."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Yugo Gen's song.

"Shall we make our move tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Shixian raised his hand to indicate "NO".

"They've gone to great lengths to lure me into their trap. If I just follow their plan, wouldn't I lose face?"

Uh... is this a matter of saving face?

Besides, isn't this a common assassination method used by ninjas? There's no shame in it.

"Come at noon tomorrow. At that time, the extreme of yang will give rise to yin, and you might be able to see them turn into vengeful ghosts after they died."

Before Hatake Sakumo could say anything more, he saw Igor's eyes darting around and quickly put down what he was about to say.

Based on his understanding of the fifty strings, such behavior must have been premeditated. Sending someone to their death was impossible, but helping someone go ahead of time was definitely the case.

He just couldn't guess what Wuzhi was going to do yet.

The watchmen were left behind, and the others went to sleep.

With supplies unlike anything ninjas would have on a march, this peaceful sleep in the wilderness felt like a vacation.

The next morning, the Golden Crow let out a long cry and chased the Jade Rabbit away with one claw, declaring that daytime was its territory.

Rose City.

This place is famous for its hillsides covered with roses, complemented by other colorful buds. To this day, the city remains a resort destination for nobles to enjoy the scenery and appreciate nature.

After tidying up, the group headed straight for Rose City.

At the city gate, the group of people who had not disguised themselves looked at the large crowd in front of them with strange expressions.

"Boss, are we really not going to pretend?"

Looking at his standard Inuzuka family attire and the demon at his feet, anyone with a bit of knowledge could immediately recognize his identity.

He's actually doing alright.

The Uchiha ninjas wore vests with the Uchiha clan crest, Hyuga Mizuki revealed her Byakugan, and Uzumaki Kushina's fiery red hair stood out against the predominantly black-haired crowd.

Why hide it?

Wu Xian sipped hot milk, sitting arrogantly on his horse.

He looked like a naval admiral from the movie next door.

"You must remember, it is they who should be the ones pretending."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze, who was walking in front, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

As one of the team members with equally conspicuous hair, he had a rough idea of ​​how Ishigaki would enter.

The carriage maintained its speed, weaving through the long lines of people, and drove straight to the city gate amidst the fearful, angry, and dissatisfied gazes of those behind it.

The city gate soldiers had never encountered anything like this before, and they were all stunned, their minds nearly going blank.

One of the soldiers, dressed as a captain, said discontentedly, "Where are you from? Don't you know Rose City is under martial law recently..."

He didn't utter the last "ma" because he had already seen the Uchiha clan crest.

This reminds me of the rumors I've heard recently.

hiss

not good!!

Chapter 107 These are all

Fifty strings let out a "yo-ho" sound.

"There really are people who aren't afraid of death."

"No, no, no." The city gate official tried to explain, but his tendency to stutter when nervous kicked in again.

"You ungrateful wretch?" Isogen's eyes narrowed slightly. "This is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant. I won't allow anyone this arrogant in front of me, Aoyama!"

"It's Big Brother!" Uchiha Aoyama puffed out his chest and strode fiercely toward the city gatekeeper, straightening his slightly disheveled collar in full view of everyone.

The city gate official was in a daze and let him operate as he pleased, without feeling anything special, except that he felt a weight on his neck.

"You don't even bother to straighten your collar when it's messy. Remember that next time," Uchiha Aoyama patted his chest and reminded him.

The dazed city gatekeeper nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.

When I looked down, two round objects, each about the size of a thumb, were stuck to the sides of my collar, ticking like clocks.

Before he could figure out what it was, the next second...

Boom!!

Flames soared into the sky, and waves of heat rolled in.

After a simple series of steps, the city gate was cleared without any obstruction.

With only awe and fear as his escort, he officially entered Rose City. Wu Xian glanced at the city, which had prospered due to the frequent visits of nobles, and sighed.

"There are still more good people in the world than bad. So many of us got in so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's eyes twitched. He turned to look at Yuuka Igarashi and hesitated, "Yuuka, isn't this going too far?"

He tried to stop it after realizing something was wrong, but was stopped.

Before Igarashi could speak, it was Hatake Sakumo who spoke up in defense of Igarashi.

"Yu Ge did the right thing this time. It's not a pity to kill those people."

“That’s right, Yu Ge wouldn’t kill people indiscriminately!” Kushina put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

Hinata Mizuki nodded repeatedly from the side. Although she couldn't speak, she always used body language very well.

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.

He knew Hatake Sakumo's attitude, and along the way he often heard him advise Isogen not to take lives if it was not a serious matter.

Yes, Konoha's White Fang, who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies with his overwhelming killing power during the Second Shinobi World War, is advising a junior not to be too focused on killing.

Sakumo Hatake explained, "Those people are all samurai."

With just one sentence, all the doubts in everyone's hearts vanished.

The samurai that Sakumo Hatake mentioned were not ordinary samurai who sought out opponents for duels, but rather wandering samurai.

Such people are also known as ronin, and they love to kill defenseless civilians. Hatake Sakumo is a samurai, so he would never mistake him for someone else.

Nara Shikaku said, "They were probably hired by the lord's mansion to guard the city and keep watch, and also to report information. That's how they were recruited."

Nara Shikaku's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

Ronin hope that a noble person will take them in as a retainer, but they won't take anyone who could kill them.

Any ronin who has survived to this day, upon seeing the commotion at the castle lord's mansion and the attire of his group, can guess that this is a battle between nobles and ninja villages.

Once you get involved, it's a death sentence.

Those people probably wanted to run away a long time ago, but they were just hoping to wait and make more money.

Unfortunately, this little scheme cost him his life.

As they spoke, they arrived at a high place where they could see the city lord's mansion directly.

Wu Shixian ignored him. From the beginning, he activated the Wind Without Form, and the invisible wind swept through every corner of Rose City, taking in every move of the city lord's mansion.

As his perception deepened, he raised an eyebrow, revealing an interested expression: "This is natural energy? There's definitely something good here."

The barrier surrounding the city lord's mansion was a mixture of chakra and natural energy, with some strange elements mixed in as well.
