Aonuma Azuma, a Jonin from the Land of Fire, a well-known radical, and one of the key targets of Root.
These ninjas who don't belong to the Ninja Village are not under the jurisdiction of the village, and sometimes they can easily cause conflicts between the two countries, so these radicals are secretly monitored to prevent them from causing any trouble. Root used to do this work, and now it's the responsibility of Root.
Fortunately, Root is responsible for monitoring these bombs, otherwise, Tong wouldn't be able to recognize Aonuma. Without a breakthrough, it's not easy to pry open the mouths of these three Jonins, and they don't have any experts who are good at interrogation.
"Well, let's not talk about this topic, other than Aonuma and Himeyon, what are the remaining names?" Aoyama stared at Aonuma.
"This woman is from the Tsurugi Clan." Aonuma glanced at the silent Tsurugi and said: "As for the remaining three guys who died, they are from the Yonsong Clan, Sparrow Clan, and Treasure Turtle Clan."
Aonuma had an indifferent look on his face, he didn't feel any guilt in his heart. It should be said that he never regarded these people as partners. This is also a bad habit cultivated by the Ninja Clan, a lack of cooperation. Except for partners of the same clan, it is difficult for them to trust the ninjas of other clans.
Tong took a deep breath and showed a surprised look, she stared at Aonuma and Tsurugi with burning eyes, she didn't know what they were thinking.
Kota had already retreated behind Aoyama, and he noticed the change in Tong's expression and suddenly became curious.
"Tong, are these clans that this guy mentioned very famous?"
Hearing Kota's question, Tong looked at Kota as if he was an idiot and immediately sighed. "More than famous, Yonsong Clan, Sparrow Clan, Treasure Turtle Clan, Tsurugi Clan, Aonuma Azuma, and Himeyon are all clans that have survived since the Warring States Period."
"Even in the Land of Earth, there should be many independent ninja clans in addition to the Rock Village."
"Oh! So that's how it is. " After being enlightened, Kota suddenly realized that in addition to the Five Great Shinobi Villages, each of the Five Great Shinobi Villages has many independent ninja clans.
When the Five Great Ninja Villages were established, some Ninja Clans chose to integrate into the Ninja Village, while others adhered to tradition and still maintained the family inheritance method.
Over the past 60 years, many ninja clans have been destroyed, some have integrated into the Ninja Village, and some have inherited their clan. It's hard to say which choice is right, but in the past few decades, 99% of the top experts in the ninja world have come from the Ninja Village. There are many Jonins in the ninja clans, but it's difficult for them to climb to the top ranks.
"And the six families he mentioned are the best among the ninja clans. The strongest in the Land of Fire is naturally Kiba, but among the ninja clans that are second only to Kiba, these six families are definitely among the best." Tong said.
"In that case, the only person who can order the six families at the same time is …" That idiot from the Ming Academy was right, he really was a big shot! Kota's eyes widened, this is really a big deal. Fortunately, he didn't bring the three members of the Ninth Squad, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't be leaked.
Now, everyone present is a member of Root, and they are all core members, so it's not difficult to unify the information. Of course, all of this is just Kota's imagination, it's up to Aoyama to deal with it.
Yue Hua frowned slightly. Six surnames, six big families. It's not a weak force in the Land of Fire. To be able to order the six families to send Jonin to attack the caravan of the Utsunomiya family, there's only one person in the Land of Fire who can do that. There's no need to ask Qing Marsh, Yue Hua already knows who that person is.
Fire Daimyo.
In the Land of Fire, only Fire Daimyo has the ability to order the six families to attack the Utsunomiya Clan. After all, Utsunomiya Fujino is the strongest Daimyo besides Fire Daimyo. Obviously, Fire Daimyo wasn't satisfied with Utsunomiya Clan being the second strongest Daimyo, but it's hard to deal with it on the surface, so he can only do it secretly.
Unfortunately, they bumped into Aoyama's group, and the six Jonins can only die with regret.
For a moment, Aoyama also fell silent, it's definitely a matter that involves Fire Daimyo and the Utsunomiya Clan, this is definitely a matter of life and death, after all, Fire Daimyo's family, along with Senju and Uchiha, founded the Land of Fire, and their prestige is still there.
But the Utsunomiya Clan has a close relationship with Root, it's definitely a big blow to Root if they see the Utsunomiya Clan fall. It's not easy to find a partner comparable to the Utsunomiya Clan, and without the financial support of the Utsunomiya Clan, Root will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Aoyama suddenly thought of Youichi and Youji who are still in the Land of Hot Water. They have Haku and Root's ninjas protecting them, could it be that Utsunomiya Fujino left behind a backup plan? Also, Tsunade urgently called him back to the village, is it really just to sign the alliance agreement with the Mist Ninjas?
The more he thought about it, the more headache Aoyama had. Damn it, thinking about this kind of thing is too tiring, it's not as exciting as developing a new ninjutsu …
"Hehe, no one is willing to get involved in this kind of thing, but we ninja families are alienated from the Ninja Village, and we have to rely on Fire Daimyo or other big nobles to survive, so there are some orders that we have to do, even if it means death."
Aonuma whispered with no sadness or joy on his face, as if he has already accepted life and death. As for the Tsurugi Clan's woman, she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, she just laid on the ground with her eyes closed, showing a posture of waiting to be killed.
Both of them were smart people, in this kind of situation, they didn't expect to live, it's just a matter of whether they will die sooner or later, and whether they can be given a quick death.
"Why did Daimyo attack the Utsunomiya Clan?" Aoyama asked with a cold face.
"Haha, I don't know about this." Aonuma answered happily, and said with a self-deprecating tone, "From the moment we were named to take on the mission, we were just abandoned chess pieces, we have been pushed out from the family's power, we don't know anything except for the orders."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Aoyama couldn't help but frown, but the message revealed by Aonuma's words was very interesting. "Named? Aren't you unlucky people that were pushed out from the family? "
Unlucky people that were pushed out?
The corner of Aonuma's mouth twitched, even Tsurugi who was playing dead stiffened, but in just two or three seconds, Aonuma showed a bitter self-deprecating smile, wasn't he just an unlucky person that was pushed out? He was already infamous in the family, he wasn't liked by many, and after he was unlucky, no one paid attention to him.
"I am indeed an unlucky person that was pushed out, but Tsurugi Clan's woman is different from me, she is a rare genius of the Tsurugi Clan, but Daimyo Huo said that even geniuses can't fly with broken wings, so she was also abandoned by the Tsurugi Clan." Aonuma said with a numb look in his eyes.
Hearing Aonuma's words, Aoyama pondered for a moment and understood Daimyo Huo's intentions. This move clearly showed that he didn't want Aonuma, Tsurugi, and Bao Gui to play tricks, and directly chose the most infamous and talented youths from each family, each of them a prominent figure, to directly show their position.
Daimyo Huo's methods were very impressive, once Aonuma and the other six families obeyed the order, it meant that they stood on the opposite side of the powerful Utsunomiya Clan, losing the opportunity to observe, and had to place their bets in advance.
