Uchiha's Counterattack

Boom, boom, boom!

It was around three o'clock in the morning and it was still dark.

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house. Kuroizumi and Iemon were almost awake inside. Before the second knock on the door could be heard from outside, the two of them had packed up their equipment and rushed to the living room. Kuroizumi's

Both the Sakura Armor and the Fire Sword were taken out, fully armed.

"who is it?"

Iemon held the kunai tightly in one hand and approached the door. He quietly observed through the gap with his Sharingan and found that the person outside was wearing a crane hat and white clothes. He was a chamberlain in the Daimyo Palace. The so-called chamberlain is a person who specializes in serving people.

Officials who serve the daimyo take care of the daimyo's daily life and have the right to enter and leave the daimyo's inner palace.

"My two lords, my name is Murakami Shota, and I am a servant of the daimyo's inner palace. I have been ordered by the daimyo to take you two to the inner palace immediately." Although Murakami Shota has a nice name, he is actually a man in his late thirties.

An adult man, his face was pale and sweating, and his expression was tense and unnatural.

All of this fell into Youemon's eyes, but Youemon didn't think that the matter between him and Kuroizumi was exposed. To be precise, they did almost nothing except detaining one Yankan, and there was nothing to feel guilty about.

Thinking of this, Iemon opened the door directly.

The door opened with a creak, and Youemon walked out of the house and saw the attendant saying:

"What's going on in such a hurry?"

"You two adults, please stop asking questions and come with me quickly. If it's late, I'm afraid it'll be too late."

The chamberlain's mouth was bubbling with worry. He looked so worried that he seemed to be about to collapse. It was difficult to continue asking questions for a while. Iemon looked at the chamberlain carefully, but there was no chakra reaction.

He was just an ordinary person, and since he and Heiquan still had a clear conscience, they didn't think much about it.

"wait!"

Iemon left the chamberlain behind and turned back to the house. After closing the door, he went to Kuroizumi and said, "Kuroizumi-sama, something is wrong outside. The chamberlain was worried and had a look of fear in his eyes. The dignified chamberlain of the Daming Palace.

For an internal official to show such an expression, something serious must have happened."

"What is a chamberlain?" Heiquan looked confused. She was not familiar with the official ranks of ordinary people.

"The chamberlain is a service official in the daimyo's inner palace, and his status is equivalent to that of our Uchiha guardian nin. It's just that the guardian nin uses force to protect the safety of Lord Xia Nan. The chamberlain is more similar to a servant who takes care of daily life, but it is also an official position.

"

"The Daimyo's personal servant?"

"You can say that."

Kuroizumi immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. The personal servant of the Fire Country Daimyo ran over to the two of them anxiously, with anxious and fearful expressions on his face. The nature of what happened must be very serious, and the worst-case scenario could be said.

Maybe there was a rebellion in the General's Mansion?

"Lord Kuroizumi, why don't you go check out the situation first?"

"meaning is?"

"If you leave now, no one can stop you, but if you leave, you won't know what exactly happened. Whether this matter is related to Konoha or whether it will involve Master Xia Nan is unknown. And the most important thing is that

, we haven’t done anything now, and if we run away like this with all our innocence, something will happen even if nothing happens.”

"It's better to go and see what happened first, and then make plans based on the situation at that time. In addition, the Daming Mansion seems to be heavily guarded, but if he really wants to run away in the entire country, no one can stop the Kaleidoscope-level powerhouse, so let's take care of everything.

It’s not too late to leave after you figure it out.”

Kuroizumi nodded, what Iemon said was pretty much what he was thinking.

"Then let's go take a look first. There is still the 1.05 billion taels that we haven't taken yet."

After the two reached an agreement, they went out directly.

When he got outside the door, he saw that the chamberlain was almost crazy with anxiety. As soon as he saw Kuroizumi and Iemon coming out, he didn't even bother to say hello. He ran over and grabbed the two of them before rushing out.

.

"My lords, don't ask any questions. His Highness and his wife are already waiting for you!"

Kuroizumi and Iemon were inexplicably taken away together.

After leaving the side hall, there are many high walls, and further ahead is a tower where many nobles live.

However, the bustling tower in the past was silent.

An atmosphere of silence and solemnity spread in the air, and it seemed that faintly, shouts of death could be heard coming from the other side of the house.

The sound was so soft and inaudible that if Heiquan hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have been able to detect it. But the most noteworthy thing was that the chamberlain who was leading the way seemed to have heard it. His whole body trembled violently, as if

It was as if he was frightened. His footsteps moved faster.

Heiquan realized that something was really wrong.

"Hurry up!"

Just as the three of them were walking on the road, they encountered several hurried warrior teams. Different from the calm and leisure patrols in the past, these warriors each had their long swords unsheathed, their armor was stained with blood, and there were obvious traces on their sturdy outer armor.

There were slashing marks, and the white flags behind them were also turned black by the thick smoke.

These teams, which seemed to have just experienced a fight, attracted the attention of Kuroizumi and Iemon. The two looked at each other and felt that something was serious.

"Ignore them and support the south gate immediately!"

The leading warrior recognized the chamberlain and shouted without looking back. The warriors behind him all responded. Everyone was filled with murderous intent and ran quickly past the three of them. Their goal seemed to be to support the South Gate.

Troops, the outer gate of Daming Mansion is heavily guarded, with more than a hundred noble warriors and more than 600 soldiers stationed there.

Looking into the distance, black smoke billows and flames shoot into the sky in the south direction of Daming Mansion.

Kuroizumi glanced over subconsciously with his Sharingan, but found nothing. There was no chakra reaction in the black fog or the crowd. It seemed like an ordinary fire incident. But judging from the performance of the samurai, that

It didn't feel like a fire, more like a mutiny.

Did the General's Mansion really start a rebellion? On the second day after they arrived?

Kuroizumi and Iemon deliberately wanted to slow down and get the news clearly, but the chamberlain kept urging him. He seemed so anxious that he could only say, "Hurry up, the daimyo-sama and his wife are waiting!"

This made Eemon feel so angry that he almost got a kunai to understand this chamberlain.

But Kuroizumi stopped Youemon, and she realized that this matter should have nothing to do with the daimyo, otherwise the daimyo would not be so anxious to find them. There is a high probability that the matter still lies with the Shogun Mansion and the problem of the twelve guardian ninjas.

superior.

Kuroizumi generally has a guess. It is estimated that the Shogun's Palace discovered yesterday that the daimyo was determined to win over Konoha, giving him both fame and money. In this way, the new Konoha will definitely side with the daimyo, and the Shogun's Palace can only decide

Before the matter is settled, kill the daimyo first and then frame the blame on New Konoha.

Not long after the establishment of New Konoha, the ninja loss rate was over 90%, the economy completely collapsed, and more than half of the village was destroyed. If it were other places, it would have been finished long ago, that is, there were more than 200 Uchiha people plus Xia Nan to support the situation.

, although Jiraiya and Tsunade all returned in the end, but judging from the data alone, Konoha Village is still fragile.

However, the shogunate seems to have ignored the huge gap in the personal combat power of ninjas. Their memory and image of ninjas are still based on the attitude that they can get things done for money, and that they are born with low status and are not as noble as nobles. The combat power of ninjas

There is no real intuitive experience, which means they have no idea how powerful the real shadow is.
