The forest was quiet, and not a single bird or insect could be heard. The battle just now had scared away all the birds and beasts nearby. Even the flies and insects that lived in the forest followed their instincts and made the choice to avoid harm.
Azu and the others were like wooden pillars, standing in the same place. Their breathing was extremely weak, and they tried their best not to disturb Aoyama's thoughts.
After pondering for a while and asking Aoyama again, Aoyama finally made up his mind. It wasn't hard to make a choice between the Fire Daimyo that he had never seen before and the Utsunomiya family that he had a good relationship with. The difficult part was whether or not he could bear the consequences of his choice.
"Keita, give them a quick death, don't leave any traces behind." Aoyama ordered, and then waved his hand and led Azu and Tong to the side.
Soon, there were two loud explosions, and a faint smoke rose up. There were no traces of the two in the world. Explosion was the best way to destroy a corpse, and not even a drop of blood would be left behind.
"Azu, bring some people to find the Utsunomiya family's master. Find him and protect him, and bring him back to Kiba. Of course, the premise is that he's still alive. If he's dead, go back to the village."
Aoyama whispered, and then called Keita, Takumi, and Sasai, and had them go with Azu and He. The four of them could be said to be a super strong team. Just in case, Aoyama even took out four tonics, one for each of them.
The four of them quickly left, and rushed towards the west at full speed. Their destination was naturally the Utsunomiya family's main residence.
"Aoyama -sama, are we really going to fight against the Fire Daimyo?" Tong looked up at Aoyama and asked worriedly.
"We'll see. It's not a big problem to change the Fire Daimyo to someone else. It's obviously better for Root, but I don't have the final say in this matter!"
Aoyama's eyes flashed coldly. Just wait and see! Wait until he figured out the whole story.
When the three members of Class 9 arrived at Aoyama's party, they noticed that Azuz, Takumi, and the other three were missing. They asked out of curiosity, but Aoyama casually found an excuse to brush them off. The party continued to head towards Kiba.
The rest of the journey was smooth and there were no more disturbances. They smoothly returned to the village.
Green Marsh Fan's group of six had died without a single ripple. It was as if everyone had forgotten that they had ever existed. They had not returned after completing their missions, so they had already been labeled as dead. Even if they were alive, it was the same as being dead, not to mention that they were deader than dead.
Azu and the others' hands and feet were very clean, leaving no clues that could be traced. They directly made Aonuma and the others disappear from the world, which was Tsunade's guess based on Team 9's report.
After returning to the village, the first thing Aoyama did was to investigate what had happened. The situation was so bad that the Fire Daimyo did not hesitate to use such a sinister method to weaken and even destroy the Utsune Miyagi family.
The result was very simple. The problem did not lie with the Utsune Miyagi family, but with the Daimyo family. The eldest son of the Fire Daimyo died of illness a week ago. Coincidentally, when Aoyama and the others were tracking the Sanbi, they left the village and did not receive the news in time.
This matter could be said to be an extremely heavy blow to Huo Daiming. In just one night, his entire person had become thin and sickly. Looking at him, it was extremely horrifying.
Although the Fire Daimyo had two other sons, compared to the carefully cultivated eldest son, the two younger sons' talent, ability, wisdom, tolerance, and other aspects were inferior. If they were to inherit the Fire Daimyo's position, it would cause a lot of turmoil.
After all, the structure of the Fire Country was like this. Large and small nobles formed the country's authority. The Fire Daimyo controlled the largest territory and had the densest population. However, the other nobles' power was not inferior to him. It could even be said that they were stronger than him.
If the Fire Daimyo's methods were not enough, he would not be able to sit firmly on the chair under his butt. The other nobles had always been watching him closely. Once he gave them an opportunity to …
In order to avoid that kind of tragedy, the Fire Daimyo made a decision. He would strike first and gain the upper hand. He would eliminate those powerful nobles that could threaten his family's ruling position. As the Fire Country's second only to the Fire Daimyo, the Utsune Miyagi family would naturally be the first to bear the brunt.
"Hehe, this is not new at all. Power really makes people fight to the death." Aoyama sneered and casually threw the scroll in her hand on the table.
The increasingly powerful Yudou Miyazaki Family caused Huo Daiming to feel uneasy. His fear grew with each passing day. Now that his eldest son had suddenly died of illness, it became the final fuse that ignited the uneasiness in his heart. It was like a barrel of gunpowder that exploded, and he began to kill the Yudou Miyazaki Family.
However, to put it bluntly, in the end, it was still a struggle for power. In order to maintain the family's position and power passed down from generation to generation, for the sake of his two useless sons, the Fire Daimyo had to fight.
Root Building.
Aoyama sat on the chair in a daze, thinking about what kind of changes this matter would bring. Also, what position would the Hokage take? After all, the Ninja Village was the strongest force in the Fire Country. No one could ignore the Hokage's opinion.
"Knock, knock!"
The sound of knocking suddenly sounded. Aoyama's thoughts couldn't help but stagnate for two seconds before she reacted and shouted.
"Yo, Aoyama, the Hokage has an order for you." The person who came in was an old acquaintance. Shikamaru lazily waved his hand to greet him. Then, he walked to the side of the sofa and sank his butt into it, lazily stretching his waist.
Helplessly looking at Shikamaru yawning, Aoyama said: "Shikamaru, where is the order? Don't just say that there is an order, but don't tell me what it is? "
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was a little sleepy when I wasn't paying attention." Shikamaru waved his hand without sincerity and then said: "The Hokage asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that you shouldn't go out on missions for the time being. Stay in the village and pay attention to the alliance with the Water Country."
"Is that all?"
"What other reason could there be?"
Shikamaru looked at Aoyama in surprise, showing a puzzled expression. When he noticed Aoyama's serious gaze, his heart sank. It seemed that things weren't that simple.
"Shikamaru, have you heard the news that the eldest son of the Daimyo died?"
"Yes, I heard that he died of an illness, but the Daimyo didn't seem to believe it. It is said that many people were executed because of this …" Shikamaru said with a touch of disgust on his face. It was really unacceptable to kill people out of anger. "Aoyama, why do you mention this? Did you have a conflict with the Fire Daimyo? "
Shikamaru said half-jokingly, trying to relax the atmosphere, but he didn't hear Aoyama's response. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and suffocating.
