Kai gently changed the subject, his eyes returned to Hyuga Yuma's face, and he asked in a low voice:
"Captain, do you have any clues about the Daimyo's Palace's assassination?"
Hyuga Yuma sat at the table and was silent for a while.
He raised his head, with a hint of complexity in his white left eye. "I suspect... one of our own did it."
"One of our own?" Kai raised his eyebrows.
Hyuga Yuma nodded and lowered his voice:
"The attack route and evacuation method of the last assassination attacker are very familiar with the guard rotation and secret sentry layout inside the Daimyo's Palace."
"It's impossible for outsiders to do it so accurately."
Kai narrowed his eyes and did not answer immediately, but his mind had quickly locked onto the target.
One of Twelve Guardian Ninja.
Kazuma.
Kai was clear about this matter.
Kazuma is a staunch "Daimyo supremacy" faction.
It is believed that Hokage has no need to exist at all, and the real power of ninjas should be directly controlled by Land of Fire Daimyo.
However, this generation of Daimyo does not recognize this concept.
Although he did not explicitly support Hokage, he never thought of weakening Konoha's status.
This made Kazuma extremely dissatisfied and even gradually went to extremes.
The extreme Ma chose to assassinate Daimyo and re-elect Daimyo who recognized his ideas.
It's a very extreme idea, but it's also very consistent with that guy's behavior.
Kai pondered for a moment and decided to remind him.
"Captain, to be honest, I came here with information."
Hyuga Yuma's eyes immediately sharpened. "What information?"
"Kazuma."
Kai said the name directly.
"Kazuma has been dissatisfied with Daimyo for more than a day or two."
"He thinks Daimyo is too weak and too dependent on Konoha, and even intentionally breaks the balance between the Daimyo's Palace and Hokage."
"The information I have received is that he may take extreme measures that will be detrimental to Daimyo."
He paused and added, "I came here this time to remind Asuma and Chiriku to be more careful."
Hyuga Yuma After hearing this sentence, the whole person was stunned.
He looked at Kai steadily for a long time before speaking, with an unconcealable shock in his voice:
"It turns out... it's really him?"
Kai was also stunned. "You know?"
Hyuga Yuma nodded slowly, his expression became extremely solemn:
"There is speculation."
"Asuma and Chiriku and I have privately exchanged views. Kazuma's words and deeds during that period were indeed somewhat abnormal."
"His attitude towards Daimyo has become more and more impatient, and he has repeatedly raised the issue of "strengthening the direct power of Daimyo" at internal meetings of Guardian Ninja."
Kai nodded slightly and said nothing, waiting for Hyuga Yuma to continue.
Hyuga Yuma looked at Kai, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be considering his words.
Kai saw this and said frankly:
"Captain, don't worry, both the Third Generation and Fourth Hokage know my situation."
"I came to the Daimyo's Palace with their tacit consent."
Hyuga Yuma was obviously relieved when he heard this.
He nodded.
"I probably know something about you."
"Otherwise if you showed up here today, I wouldn't have had this attitude."
Kai grinned.
"Captain, can you tell me now? For example, what are your plans?"
Hyuga Yuma looked at Kai deeply and nodded slightly.
"Yes. The enemy has already taken action once, and there must be follow-up actions. We are ready to lure the snake out of the hole."
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
"Yes."
Hyuga Yuma had a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"I have already discussed it with Chiriku and Asuma."
"Two days later, it will be time for several of Heping's close guards to take turns."
"At that time, Chiriku and Asuma will use their rotation as an excuse to stay slightly away from the core Guard circle."
He paused for a moment, with a hint of coldness in his voice:
"If the horse really has a problem and sees that Asuma and Chiriku are not in the best defensive position, he will definitely seize this opportunity to take action."
After hearing this, Kai pondered for two seconds and then nodded, "I'll stay and cooperate with you."
Hyuga Yuma heard this, and his tense face showed a trace of obvious relaxation:
"With you here, Daimyo's safety can be better guaranteed."
Kai didn't answer the question.
Daimyo He actually doesn't care whether he lives or lives.
What he cares about is Asuma and Chiriku.
The assassination of Daimyo by Kazuma should have taken several years to occur in the original timeline.
Now that it was so far in advance, Kai was not sure what caused the change.
But now that he is here and has encountered this problem again, he will help if he can.
After all, Asuma is his friend at the same time.
Chiriku is even more closely related.
If something happened to them due to lack of information, Kai would feel uncomfortable.
Kai looked at Hyuga Yuma and said:
"In that case, I will stay here temporarily for the next two days."
"As for Chiriku and Asuma, the captain doesn't need to say more for the time being, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Hyuga Yuma nodded. "Okay."
Then Kai was arranged by Hyuga Yuma and hid in the Daimyo's Palace.
Time passed little by little.
Late at night two days later.
Daimyo's Palace The central area was silent, with only the footsteps of patrols ringing regularly in the corridors.
Kai sat in the darkness, eyes closed, breathing steadily.
suddenly--
"Boom!!!"
A deafening explosion exploded from the center of the Daimyo's Palace!
Kakkō broke through the night sky instantly, and the gravel and rubble were blown away by the air waves.
Followed by screams and confused shouts!
Kai's eyes opened instantly.
"Coming."
He stood up, moved his wrist, and pushed open the closet door.
Silently blending into the night.
