"What are they doing?"
Qi was not the only one who was surprised by the Prefecture Guard's actions. As hundreds of Prefecture Guard were approaching quickly, many people in the delegation had already raised questions.
So some people began to directly ask questions to the Feudal Lord of Fire envoy who brought them here. Although they were representatives of various families, most of them were actually in contact with the Prefecture Army for the first time and were not familiar with this army belonging to the daimyo.
"Mr. Messenger, does Prefecture Army of Western Camp still not know the news that we are coming?"
A middle-aged ninja, about forty years old, was the first to speak and asked the envoy.
The actions of these Prefecture Guards looked murderous, and he couldn't help but doubt them.
"There is no such thing. This is just a rule of the Prefecture Army. First Fire Daimyo stipulates that in addition to Feudal Lord of Fire himself, only those led by Prefecture Guard within the camp can enter the camp. Otherwise, anyone who enters the Prefecture Army camp in any way is considered to have evil intentions and will be killed on the spot."
The messenger smiled bitterly. In fact, he also felt that this was inappropriate, but similarly, it would be even more difficult for this group of Prefecture Guards, who only have to practice and practice and practice besides looking at the sun, the moon, and counting the stars, to sleep and eat, to know what it means to be accommodating. It's not that they are unwilling, but that they simply don't know how to do it.
According to the original idea, he wanted to bring people directly into the camp, but the Prefecture Guards did not allow it. They believed that even Konoha Ninja had to do everything according to the regulations, just because this was the rule set by First Fire Daimyo when he established Prefecture Army, and the current daimyo did not modify this rule.
Prefecture Guard people are obsessed with laws to the point of perversion. In their view, as long as there are laws, then the laws are the greatest, so the envoys cannot obey them at all.
"It doesn't matter, we'll just do it."
The middle-aged ninja was about to continue something when Danzo interrupted him,
"Since it is the rule set by the name First, then there must be no problem."
In the absence of Third Hokage, Danzo is the boss of everyone. As soon as he speaks, the others will stop talking nonsense and say that they should just follow the rules of Prefecture Guard or First.
The happy messenger wanted to hug him and give him a kiss. He was afraid of these picky men.
Soon, the group of Prefecture Guard had already marched in front of the Konoha crowd. The leading sergeant immediately took a long step out of the formation and roared loudly,
"Welcome everyone, please enter the camp with our army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds of Prefecture Guard behind him all separated, revealing a passage, in a posture of "entering the camp together".
"Are they considered escorts?"
Qi in the crowd looked at this group of serious Prefecture Guard and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't help but asked Danzo with a slumped face.
"Don't worry, Prefecture Army and Konoha have a very good relationship. This is indeed the way they have always done things, and they are not targeting anyone."
Hearing Qi's words, Danzo showed a smile,
"You don't understand Prefecture Army. In fact, the relationship between the Prefecture Army and the Ninja Village is very close. Of course, because Prefecture Guard is very different from ordinary ninjas, people who meet Prefecture Army for the first time often misunderstand it, just like them."
He rarely looked at Qi with a softer expression.
"When you have the opportunity in the future, you will understand. Well, your mission this time is to meet the daimyo. Don't worry about the rest."
"Oh."
After responding, Qi temporarily put aside his thoughts. Since Danzo has no problem, he will not worry about it anymore.
This is not his world, at least not for the time being.
The "escort" of Prefecture Guards can be quite thorough. Konoha's group was basically "sandwiched" all the way into the camp by Prefecture Guard. When they just entered the camp, the door behind them was closed immediately, and the Prefecture Guards who originally escorted them also quickly dispersed in teams one by one.
"Huh? Where are the people?"
The sudden departure of the Prefecture Guard people undoubtedly made the Konoha people a little unaccustomed to it, and they looked around one after another.
The dispersed Prefecture Guard actually did not leave. On the contrary, countless Prefecture Guard from all directions of the Konoha delegation were rushing out of their respective battle forts and barracks and gathering quickly.
The feeling and pressure of being surrounded by 20,000 professional soldiers from all directions can only be experienced by the person involved...
"What's wrong?"
Some people in the delegation immediately started to stir up a commotion. They were ninjas. From the beginning of their career, they had been involved in various conspiracies, plots, sneak attacks and assassinations. Suddenly they were surrounded by 20,000 Prefecture Army, and they immediately suffered from occupational diseases. Some people even secretly reached into their weapon bags.
Fortunately, they were still calm and did not actually pull out their weapons, but in terms of their expressions, most Konoha Ninja already showed a state of being about to explode.
"It's about to begin."
Danzo definitely belongs to a very special type among the crowd. Not only was he not nervous, but he patted the shoulder of Qi who was not very nervous because he was very nervous.
"The last time I saw this kind of scene was after World War I. It was also the first time I entered the Prefecture Army camp."
There was a trace of sadness on his face, as if he was thinking of someone.
"Teacher, do you think of Mr. Second Hokage?"
The pile of Hokage comics that Qi read in his previous life were not for nothing. He immediately thought of the correct answer.
"At that time, were Third Hokage and the others also with the teacher?"
"Well... at that time, Sarutobi was also invited by the daimyo to enter the Prefecture Army camp because he inherited the position of Hokage."
It was very rare that Danzo did not complain as usual because of hearing the name of the third generation. Instead, he recalled it with relish,
"That time, I realized why Prefecture Army could become an important military force in the Ninja Kingdom like the Ninja Army, even though they had no masters of their own and their personal strength was very low. They do have something worthy of praise."
"..."
Qi had nothing to say. He agreed with this and there was no need to ask.
Only a guy like him who originally came from the world of ordinary people would not, like the ninjas of this world, ignore the power of a tightly organized army because of the existence of supernatural powers.
And the ninjas in the Hokage world basically look down on the intensive military formations of the traditional army. The ninja army back then beat the traditional army just like beating dogs. It is really difficult for them to face up to these defeated generals in the past.
Rock Ninja Although it is famous for its military formations, the military formations of the ninja army they fight are not like those of the old-fashioned army.
And just when Qi and Danzo were about to continue their bickering, the Prefecture Guard people who came from all directions in the camp finally gathered and surrounded the Konoha delegation, which had only more than a hundred people. At this time, the Konoha Ninja people looked around and saw that the whole place was a sea of red, and nothing else could be seen at all.
"Watch carefully!"
Seeing this scene, Danzo's eyes lit up. Suddenly, an extremely strong glare seemed to erupt in his eyes.
"Anyone who has seen it will never forget it in their lifetime! And my dream is that there will always be one, and Konoha can do the same!"
