The small boat in the lake was drifting along with the waves.
Just like the feelings of the heads of House Nisong and House Que, there was a sense of emptiness in their hearts. There was always a sense of urgency that they would be doomed if they took a wrong step.
The six families used all their resources to contact the people of Root. After that, they spent a lot of effort to contact Aoyama and Utsunomiya Fujino.
Just as Aoyama and Utsunomiya Fujino finished their secret meeting, two guests came to visit and boarded the small boat.
"Nisong Haruma, Que Roku, the heads of House Nisong and House Que. What can I do for you?" Aoyama stared at the two with a faint smile. Utsunomiya Fujino's eyes were also ferocious. His aura was not inferior to some powerful ninjas.
Nisong Haruma who was almost 70 years old showed a bitter smile. What an aggressive young man! However, the young man had the strength and qualifications to do so. Even if there were ten of him, he would not be a match for this young man. This was the answer that his years of intuition told him.
"We are here to ask for peace." Nisong Haruma straightforwardly stated the purpose of his visit. His wrinkled old face was filled with unconcealable anxiety, or rather, unconcealable anxiety.
"Ask for peace?"
Utsunomiya Fujino muttered to himself. His face was filled with madness and ruthlessness.
"The Nisong, Que, Aonuma, Tsurugi, Baogui, and Himingwon families chased after the Utsunomiya family. How many family members were killed by you? Even I, the head of the family, lost count. You even wanted to take my head. Now you want to ask for peace? Don't you think it's a little too late? "
Towards the end of his speech, Utsunomiya Fujino became agitated. He waved his arms and almost punched Misatsunomiya Fujino. However, this old man was quite agile. He leaned back slightly and dodged Utsunomiya Fujino's' attack '.
"We sincerely came here to ask for peace. Previously, our six families were acting under the orders of Huo Daiming, and we had no choice but to hunt you down. We even paid a heavy price for that. Now … we only hope that we can survive and protect our six families' inheritance. For that, we dare not help you with all our strength."
Nisong Chunma's voice was powerful and resonant. Every word was filled with rock-like tenacity. The pure white beard under his chin fluttered intensely.
… ….
"What can you do? The Yudu Miya Family has suffered many casualties, and many of my Root's teams were also killed by you. If you don't give me a good reason, I will personally wipe out your family. You should believe that I have the power to do so. "Aoyama said coldly.
"You …"
"Sixth Assistant!"
Nisong Haruma's words stopped the agitated Qiaoliuzuke. He gently shook his head, letting this over sixty years old man lower his head. It was as if his spine had been pulled out. His entire person lost his spirit.
"Family Head Qiaoliuzuke, don't be so discouraged. You should be glad that Family Head Nisong stopped you. Otherwise, my boat would inevitably be stained with blood." A whisper sounded in Qiaoliuzuke's ears, and at the same time, he felt a chill coming from his neck.
Qiaoliuzuke looked up, and Aoyama had already disappeared from his sight. Behind him, a killing intent that was heavier than a mountain and colder than the winter snow pressed down on his body.
He didn't see Aoyama's movements clearly at all. Qiaoliuzuke's heart was cold. He didn't know how Aoyama appeared behind him, but he knew that if he really made a move just now, he was afraid that he would have already become a corpse.
"Chief Tsuka, please be magnanimous. Our six families are willing to do everything we can to make up for the loss of Root and the Yudu Miya Family." Nisong Haruma said very sincerely, but he didn't care about Qiaoliuzuke who was on the verge of death.
"You are smarter than him." Aoyama sat back and played with the Hyorinmaru in his hand while looking at Nisong Haruma with great interest. "Since you have done everything you can, then how are you going to survive? You will die either way, so why join us? "
"If we join you, we will die. If we continue to stay under the banner of the Imperial Flame Miya Family, we will die. In that case, it is better to fight for our last chance of survival." Nisong Haruma said indifferently and reached out to help the paralyzed Qiaoliuzuke up.
"How is it? My Lord. "
"Leave them to me. I need existences like them. The Yudu Miya Family's defense was too weak before." Yudu Miya Fujino touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Who asked you to send the people I sent to the Country of Hot Water? Otherwise, your mountain city wouldn't have been destroyed. I originally wanted to go to your mountain city to avoid the summer heat when I have time. Youyi and Youer have been bragging about it for a long time."
"Haha, Mountain Town can be rebuilt. At least the mountain is still there. Although it seems that the top of the mountain has been blown up, for ninjas like you, it is just a matter of spending some Chakra! It will soon be restored to its original state, as long as I sit on that seat … "
There was a burst of hearty laughter from the boat, echoing in the lake.
At this time, in Kiba Village, Tsunade welcomed a group of special guests, the envoys of the Fire Daimyo.
Tsunade looked at the document in her hand and only felt a splitting headache. How many times has it been? Aoyama always did things that gave her a headache. She felt that she had aged a lot.
The document sent by the Fire Daimyo hoped that Tsunade could restrain Tsuka Aoyama and not let Root intervene in the game between the nobles, and not let Kiba lose its sacred neutral position.
For this reason, the Fire Daimyo could be said to have used all kinds of cards. In the document, he even mentioned the friendship between the Imperial House and the Senju Clan. He didn't even care about his face and directly played the sympathy card.
"Hokage-sama, please restrain the actions of Root. They have already greatly violated the rules by interfering in the game between the nobles without authorization!"
The envoy of the Fire Daimyo was a white and fat middle-aged official. His pair of beady eyes blinked, and he kept shouting. Tsunade couldn't wait to directly punch him and shut him up.
But Aoyama's behavior did indeed violate the rules.
The ninja village implements a mission commission system. The ninja's actions are not all controlled and commanded by the higher-ups. Except for emergencies such as wartime, ninjas usually rely on taking missions to earn money so that they can maintain their lives and support their families.
To put it bluntly, ninjas were actually high-ranking mercenaries. It was just a profession and something that replaced the existence of soldiers.
Because of this, ninjas were also very particular about accepting missions. For example, Kiba wouldn't accept the mission to assassinate the Fire Daimyo, and Sand Crypsis wouldn't accept the mission to kill a noble in the Land of Wind. This was the rule.
If two noble families in the Land of Fire fought, and at the same time asked Kiba to kill the other party or protect themselves, how would they accept this kind of mission? They couldn't let their friends in the same village kill each other, right? That's why the Ninja Village had the rule of not interfering in the game between the nobles.
