The setting sun shrouded the ancient temple, the melodious sound of the bell reverberated in the mountain forest, and the birds returned to their nests one after another.
In the meditation room, six guests gathered in one room. They were either tall or short, fat or thin, old or young. The only thing they had in common was that the six of them had a taut face, and the word "despair" was written on it.
They felt as if there was a heavy boulder pressing on their chests, and it was so stuffy that they even lost the desire to speak.
"What should we do next? Everyone, you have to say something! " The oldest person in the room opened his mouth. His beard and eyebrows were all white, and his wrinkled old face was wrinkled, just like a dehydrated orange peel.
"What can we do? We lost, since when did the losers have the right to choose? Qing Mo, have you become muddle-headed? "The most muscular and burly man scolded, and his big bald head was shiny.
"What can the six of us do now? More than half of our clansmen are dead or injured, it is already a problem whether we can sit on the chair under our butts. "
The bald burly man fiercely smashed his fist on the tatami, and a big hole the size of a human head was directly blasted out.
"Humph, Shiming Court, since that is the case, why are you still here?" A thin old man snorted coldly, and his bright eyes were as sharp as a knife, forcing the bald burly man.
… …
The bald burly man did not say anything, and silently lowered his gaze. Just like what he said, he was not willing to give up the power in his hands, and also did not want to see Shiming Court destroyed. In the end, he was purely throwing a tantrum, and if he was really asked to leave, he would not be willing to.
"I would like to ask everyone here, in the battle between your excellency and the master of Yudu Gong Family, who will be the final winner? If you have any opinions, please say it. "The thin old man said solemnly.
The few people present all closed their eyes and did not say anything, including the burly man of Shiming Court. At this moment, all of them were silent, and they were completely not as active as before. For such a sensitive question, no one was willing to be the first to speak, and all of them were waiting for others to speak, and for a moment, they fell into a deadlock.
The six families originally did not have a harmonious relationship, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the hatred between them was as deep as the ocean. It was just that in the face of a calamity, how could they care about the hatred of the past? Survival was the most important and the most fundamental problem.
But in the end, they were unable to be wholehearted, and all of them were scheming, trying to make others be the scapegoat or stepping stone so that they could survive....
"Sigh! Our Aonuma Clan is prepared to make contact with the Yu Capital Palace Lord, we can't afford to waste any more time. " The patriarch of the Aonuma Family, who was the oldest among them, sighed. It wasn't a good idea to continue this stalemate. Every minute and second was so precious right now, and if they were a bit late, they might lose everything.
His white beard fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. His grandson, the successor that he had high hopes for, had also died in the pursuit of Utsunomiya Fujino. Thinking about it now made him feel extremely heartbroken.
However, he didn't have the strength to hate Root, hate Konoha, and hate Utsunomiya Fujino. Doing so would only drag the Aonuma Clan into an irreversible hell. All he could do was vent all his hatred on Huo Daiming. If it weren't for Huo Daiming, how could they have fallen into such a situation?
Everyone could see that Shiming Court and Yuyan Court were already irreconcilable, and if the two sides fought, one side would die. Shiming Court's Yuyan Court obviously had the upper hand, but they were unable to quickly eliminate Shiming Court, and Kiba, or to be precise, Shiming Court's Shiming Court had intervened.
To be honest, if Kiba intervened in the struggle between the nobles, it could almost be said that the side supported by Kiba would win. Strength was the guarantee of power, and Ninja Village, which could be said to be the embodiment of violence, was undoubtedly the strongest force in each country.
Logically speaking, Ninja Village should be closely related to Shiming Court, but Kiba's situation was a little complicated. The Yuyan Court's initial allies were Senju and Uchiha, but these two clans had declined and were destroyed.
So, Shiming Court went to Yuan Fei Court, and they helped each other. However, after the death of Three Generations of Hokage, Yuan Fei Court did not decline, but they were not as strong as before, and they were very smart to hide their claws and teeth.
What happened next gave Huo Daiming a headache. Konoha actually couldn't find anyone that he could invest in. The Hyuga Clan already had allies, and the rest of the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans and other clans couldn't enter Huo Daiming's eyes. Although the Fifth Hokage Tsunade was the last descendant of the Senju Clan, today's Senju Clan couldn't even support an empty shell.
Awkward.
This was Shiming Court's most intuitive feeling. Kiba's chaotic situation gave him a headache. Various forces were entangled with each other, maintaining a delicate balance. However, there was no clan that could suppress the other forces, and Shiming Court did not have any allies that he could rely on.
This was also the reason why Shiming Court avoided Kiba, and instead used the power of Ninja Clan to try to destroy Utsunomiya Court. The Yuyan Court lacked a strong enough ally.
This weakness was now exposed in the eyes of the other six clans, and this was something that they discovered after paying a heavy price. The Yuyan Court was in such a predicament, and it seemed that their chances of winning against Utsunomiya Court, who had the support of Root.
Patriarch Aonuma was the first to make a decision. He was ready to contact Utsunomiya Fujino, and if he could obtain Fujino's forgiveness, he would completely fall over.
"Brother Aonuma, it's been hard on you." At this time, the thin old man sighed softly and looked at Patriarch Aonuma, "Our Quasi Clan also intends to contact the chief of Root. Everyone, please make a decision."
"Since the two seniors have said so, the Yonsong Clan is willing to follow."
"The Baogui Clan has no objection."
"The Tsurugi Clan is the same."
"… The Chimingyuan Clan is the same."
The four clan leaders quickly made a decision. Shiming Court's violent methods were already unbearable to them, and coupled with Shiming Court's predicament, they had the courage and courage to resist. Perhaps, they could really overthrow the Yuyan Court and replace them with the Utsunomiya Court, which had a good reputation, and they would not be in a worse situation than now.
Furthermore, they had suffered heavy losses, and they had to rely on a thick thigh to give them enough time to recuperate and recover their energy. They did not have the capital to be neutral.
"Then, let's take action. I reckon that Shiming Court will make a move soon, and the final battle should not be far away. We have to choose a side before then." Patriarch Quasi Clan said softly.
What would Shiming Court make a move? Everyone was very clear, and that was to find a way to remove Root's support for Utsunomiya Court, and let Kiba continue to maintain the attitude of not interfering in the fight between the aristocrats.
Thinking up to here, the hearts of the people once again rippled with waves …
… …
When night fell, shadows shuttled through the roof ridge and high walls, disappearing into the vast forest. The monks in the temple were acting as usual.
