Hearing his son's series of questions, Utsunomiya Fujino smiled lightly and kept his son in suspense. "His age … hehe, you will probably be shocked when you see him. As for when he will arrive, it should be today. If not, do you think that I have the time to accompany you all to play here?"
Hearing his father's words, Utsunomiya Youichi pouted unhappily. On the other hand, his brother Youji was very calm. Compared to his brother who was straightforward, he was more familiar with his father's temper and had already guessed it. Although it wasn't too accurate, it wasn't too far off.
The father and son trio chatted for a bit in the hall, and soon, a servant came in and reported, "Lord, there are Kiba ninjas outside."
"Oh, they are here, they are here, quickly go and invite them in. Treat them well, they are my honored guests, if anyone dares to neglect them, I will personally peel off his skin." Hearing that, Utsunomiya Fujino was elated and berated the servants sternly.
The son wants to kill the moment he opened his mouth, and the father wants to peel off the skin. This father and son pair are definitely biological.
"Yes."
The complexion of the servants who were waiting on the scene paled and they immediately got into action. These servants who had signed a slave contract, although it seemed that they were able to enjoy limitless glory and were able to see many good things that were hard to come by in their lifetime, they were similarly like walking on thin ice. In the eyes of the nobles, they were no different from cats and dogs.
Furthermore, after serving the nobles for a long time, they naturally knew that their master would always do what he said. If anyone were to make a mistake this time, that person would definitely be skinned. Thus, each and every one of them were 120% alert as they welcomed the so-called honored guests.
Very quickly, Danzō and Aoyama walked in, and the 12 ninjas followed closely behind them.
"Lord, long time no see." Danzō greeted. His face was still expressionless, and there was not a single bit of emotion on his face.
"Haha, Lord Danzō, you don't have to be so courteous. You were on good terms with my father back then, and in front of you, I am just a junior." Utsunomiya Fujino seemed to not mind Danzō's attitude at all and greeted very enthusiastically.
"Tsuka Aoyama greets Utsunomiya Fujino." Aoyama sized up Utsunomiya Fujino and his sons and bowed at the same time.
"There's no need to be so polite. You must be the Lord Aoyama, right? You are indeed a promising young man. Thank you for coming here. "Utsunomiya Fujino looked at Aoyama and became even more enthusiastic. This gave Aoyama a fright.
"These are my two sons, You1 and You2." Utsunomiya Fujino pulled out his two sons and greeted Danzō and Aoyama.
At this moment, Youichi was not as ruthless as before. His every move was elegant. Although he was surprised by Aoyama's young age, he did not show it. He only thought about it in his heart.
As the eldest son of Utsune Palace, other than Fire Daimyo's son, there was no other family's disciple that could surpass him. Thus, his understanding towards Kiba could be considered to be extremely deep. The average age of a Jonin in Kiba was around 30 years old, and there was no lack of geniuses who became a Jonin in their 20 years old. However, Aoyama only looked to be around 15 or 16 years old, and the age difference between them was similar …
"Let's talk inside." Utsunomiya Fujino invited the two into the hall. Just now, he brought his two sons out of the hall to welcome them. "This is not the place to talk."
Danzō and Aoyama entered the hall and sat down. As for the accompanying ninjas, they were brought away to rest by the servants.
After exchanging greetings for a bit, Danzō said, "I am tired from the journey today, I will go and rest first. If there is anything that you want to talk about, you can talk to my disciple. In the future, I will not be able to interfere with your matters."
Utsunomiya Fujino's expression did not change. He only sent someone to help Danzō to rest and personally sent him out of the hall before returning to the hall.
"Lord Aoyama, is it alright for me to address you as such?" Utsunomiya Fujino sat back down and looked at Aoyama with a smile.
"Lord Aoyama is being too courteous, everything will be up to Lord Aoyama." Aoyama said with a smile. Since Utsunomiya Fujino was being so courteous, Aoyama would not embarrass Utsunomiya Fujino.
"I heard that Lord Aoyama has changed the original root and established a new root. I wonder if that is true?" Utsunomiya Fujino asked.
Aoyama blinked his eyes. He did not believe that Utsunomiya Fujino did not know about the changes in Kiba. It was just an excuse. "Yes, the new root is not the same as the original root. It is now responsible for eliminating all resistance forces in the Land of Fire."
"Oh, I wonder what Lord Aoyama plans to do next. There are many bandits and ninjas in the Land of Fire, but they are not worthy to be seen in public. I am afraid that Kiba will not take them seriously, right?" Utsunomiya Fujino seemed to be very interested in the new root.
After a moment of silence, Aoyama held a cup of tea and sipped it. His eyes were constantly looking at Utsunomiya Fujino. Utsunomiya Fujino was not in a hurry. He allowed Aoyama to look at him.
Originally, in the Land of Fire, there were four powerful Daimyōs, and Utsunomiya Fujino was just one of them. However, after Fujino took over, the Utsunomiya Family's strength increased greatly. They were now above the other three families, second only to the Fire Daimyōs.
Such a powerful Daimyōs would not really chat with him here. Aoyama's eyes flashed for a while. He understood why Danzō brought him here, and why Utsunomiya Fujino was so enthusiastic.
"Since Daimyōs asked, then I will not hide it from you anymore." Aoyama put down the cup and smiled slightly.
"Since I am the head of Root, I will not be satisfied with just bullying bandits. My goal is very simple. Root should have the right to conquer the outside world. Not only to eliminate the resistance forces in the Land of Fire, but also the other four Great Ninja Villages."
Aoyama was not modest at all. What he said was completely whimsical. If Root has the right to conquer the outside world, then what is the use of Hokage? However, Utsunomiya Fujino did not laugh at him. Instead, he was happy.
"Lord Aoyama, you have great ambition! You are really a young hero, I feel that I am already old when I see you. " Utsunomiya Fujino praised, but his tone suddenly changed as he sighed, "But I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy to achieve. Lord Aoyama, do you have the confidence? "
Utsunomiya Fujino's reaction made Tsukuyomi even more confident, and instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Since I dare to boast, then I naturally have some confidence. Among ninjas, strength is the only thing that matters, and in the current ninja world, there are no more than ten people who can be my enemy."
Utsunomiya Fujino's eyes lit up. He was not a Shinobi, but he has seen many powerful Jonins. He had corresponded with Danzō, so he knew that Aoyama's strength was profound and powerful. Now that Aoyama dared to boast like this, even if he is not really that powerful, he should not be far from it.
"However, although my personal strength is strong, Root's current strength is still not enough. Due to the lack of funds, I've been troubled for a long time. I can't find a solution to this problem, and I'm ashamed." Yue Hua sighed.
"So that's the case, Lord Aoyama, this time I have something to ask of you, please do not refuse." Utsunomiya Fujino said as he looked at Aoyama quietly.
