Utsunomiya family's manor.
In the hall, Utsunomiya Fujino said solemnly. Aoyama frowned slightly and nodded. "My Lord, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will not shirk."
"Lord Aoyama, I appreciate your temper the most." Utsunomiya Fujino laughed with a look of approval on his face. Utsunomiya Youichi on the side winked and greeted Aoyama.
Looking at the mischievous Youyi, Yue Hua felt a headache coming on. This brat was obviously a restless person with ADHD. Yue Hua could not ignore him, so she could only smile slightly in response.
"Lord Aoyama, you should know the relationship between the nobles of the five major countries." Utsunomiya Fujino didn't seem to notice his son's mischief and began to talk about business.
"I know a little bit." Aoyama nodded.
Now, the five major countries have a system of one country and one village. This system has been established for more than 60 years. Before that, the entire ninja world was in a state of chaos.
The establishment of the five major countries didn't all rely on military expeditions. Many small countries directly chose to join the five major countries. This is the origin of many nobles, and Utsunomiya Fujino is one of them.
In the long period of chaos, these former monarchs often had marriage alliances, and their bloodlines were mixed. If one had to count it in detail, the current old nobles did not care about national boundaries. They were all in-laws, and even came from the same clan.
"Since Lord Aoyama is clear, I won't say more. The nobles of the five major countries often hold gatherings because of bloodline. Last time, my son suffered a loss, so this time, I hope Lord Aoyama can accompany him." Utsunomiya Fujino said slowly.
Aoyama thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This matter, I agree."
"Good, then I will leave my son to Lord Aoyama. You are the same age, so you should be able to talk more than an old man like me. I will leave first." Utsunomiya Fujino stood up and walked out, but when he reached the door, he stopped. "By the way, Lord Aoyama, let's have a good talk again."
After Utsunomiya Fujino left, Aoyama and Utsunomiya Fujino looked at each other in silence. Youichi was very excited, Youichi was also very excited, but he didn't show it, while Aoyama's mouth was twitching.
… ….
No one made a sound. Youyi was still staring at Yuehua excitedly, as if he had seen a rare treasure. Yuehua felt a chill run down her spine, and her facial muscles started to ache.
"Ahem, I am Tsuka Aoyama, Kiba Jonin." Aoyama couldn't stand Utsunomiya Fujino's eyes, it was too scary.
"Aoyama -sama sama sama..." Yudou Gong Youyi retracted his gaze and said seriously. He patted his younger brother beside him, "This is my younger brother."
"Yama Youji.."
The two brothers greeted each other politely.
"You don't have to be so polite, we should be around the same age." Aoyama waved his hand.
"Then, can I call you big brother Aoyama?" Utsunomiya Fujino held on for three seconds, and immediately revealed his active nature. His two eyes looked at Aoyama, causing Aoyama Fujino to feel a chill down his spine.
"Sure."
The three of them began to talk. Utsunomiya Fujino stood outside for a while before leaving. When he arrived at a courtyard, he stretched out his hand and summoned a ninja that was nurtured by his family.
In actuality, these big noble families would nurture ninjas, after all, the strength of a ninja was something that they all knew. However, due to the lack of inheritance and the large amount of resources, they could only nurture a few middle-level ninjas, but it was enough for them to do some things.
"Go and spread the news. This time, we found a Jonin from Kiba to help us. We must inform the people from Earth Country and Lightning Country. Without an elite Jonin, we won't be a match for them." Utsunomiya Fujino said coldly.
"Yes, subordinate will go and do it right away."
Utsunomiya Fujino stood quietly at the corridor and looked at the scenery in the courtyard. "Let me see, Lord Aoyama, if your strength is really that tyrannical."
As the lord of a region, he wouldn't believe Aoyama's words so easily. Even if he had Danzō's endorsement, he wouldn't believe it. He would only believe in the information that he obtained. This was a trial, and he wanted to use this gathering to test the strength of Aoyama. After all, this kind of noble family gathering was very interesting …
It was drizzling in the sky, and the hazy fog obstructed one's line of sight, causing one to be unable to see too far away.
"This kind of lousy weather is so annoying! Big brother Aoyama, do you like rainy days? " Utsunomiya Youichi stood under a big umbrella, and behind him was a group of fully armed guards. In this world where the power of ninjas monopolized the war, although ordinary soldiers had retired from the battlefield, they still existed. They didn't die out, and instead, they were active in places other than the war.
Therefore, any noble family with enough strength would cultivate private soldiers, and these private soldiers were also a means to show their status. Although a Jonin could kill thousands of ordinary soldiers without any injuries, when the two were placed together, it was obvious that thousands of ordinary soldiers would be more imposing. This time, Utsunomiya Fujino mobilized a group of guards to protect Youyou and his brother.
"I also don't like it. Rain makes one's mood not good, and this kind of weather isn't safe." Aoyama looked at the fog in the surroundings and was very unhappy.
"Haha, big brother Aoyama, why don't you get on the palanquin with me? It's cold and damp outside, and there's still quite a distance to the Waterfall Country. I'm afraid that it will take at least a day to reach." Youyi invited.
A large palanquin carrying thirty people was parked in the middle of the guards. It was spacious and belonged to the two brothers.
"No need. I'm a ninja. Although I don't like rainy weather, I don't know how to avoid it." Aoyama smilingly refused. He had brought twelve subordinates with him this time, so there was no reason for him to sit in the palanquin peacefully. Ninjas didn't have such rules.
He sighed slightly. It was mainly because of the ordinary people here that slowed down the pace. If it were a ninja, they would have reached the Waterfall Country long ago. After all, even the cliffs and abysses couldn't stop a ninja's pace.
To be honest, Aoyama didn't expect that this noble gathering would be held in the Waterfall Country. It seemed that his fate with the Waterfall Country wasn't shallow. After all, he had stayed there for so long.
"Oh, oh. Big brother Aoyama is indeed a Kiba ninja." Aoyama rejected Youyi's invitation. To be honest, he was worried that the latter would be angry, so he didn't expect such a reaction.
"Since you've rested well, let's get to the Waterfall Country as soon as possible so that we won't miss the time." Aoyama smiled and looked at Youyi's worshipful expression.
"Okay, don't worry. Big brother Aoyama, we won't miss the time." Youyi smiled mysteriously and then shouted loudly at his subordinates to move. At the same time, he quickly got into the palanquin, leaving Aoyama there thinking about the meaning of his words.
