Kai swept towards the center of the explosion.
The courtyards along the way have been bombed into a mess.
The air was filled with the smell of burning and blood, and several corpses fell beside the flower bed, no longer breathing.
"Hefeng! Kazuma! It's really you!"
Hyuga Yuma's voice came from the front, carrying irrepressible anger.
Kai paused, his expression slightly condensed.
"Sure enough, there is something about Hefeng!"
Hefeng is the predecessor of Fire Temple Martial Monk Hall Chief Seat.
He is also the biological brother of Kazuma!
Using the cover of the remaining walls and smoke, Kai silently sneaked to the edge of a higher roof and looked down.
Daimyo's Palace In the central square, two groups of people are confronting each other.
On the inner side, there were six people standing, led by Sarutobi Asuma and Chiriku.
Chiriku has already assumed a fighting stance, and Chakra is surging slightly all over his body.
Asuma held a pair of Chakra blades in each hand, staring at the opposite side with cold eyes.
Behind them are four men holding Three-Section Black Staff.
The four people were of different heights and were wearing uniform dark gray clothing.
The standing positions are in four directions, forming an encirclement.
The Three-Section Black Staff in their hands has a simple style, with dense runes engraved on the surface, and there is a faint light of lightning beating on the surface of the stick.
Lightning Release Four-Man Squad.
It consists of four Elite Jonin, each holding a special Chakra transmission rod.
Jointly launch a combination of ninjutsu, Lightning Release·Thunder Dream Thunder Man.
Four people are stationed in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
It can summon a thunderstorm field with a diameter of several hundred meters in the central area, instantly reducing everything within the range to ashes.
It is powerful enough to destroy a small village.
Now they are standing in the perfect position, blocking the retreat route in the center of the square.
On Asuma's side, there is another person being protected by Hyuga Yuma.
Kai looked intently and his pupils shrank slightly.
Land of Fire Daimyo.
En Kosei.
Yuan is the surname of Land of Fire Daimyo.
In the past dynasties, Land of Fire Daimyo, all had the surname Yuan.
Back in Fire Temple, Kai had a relationship with the other party.
At this moment, I am being protected by Asuma.
Standing opposite is another group of people.
The two leaders stood side by side.
The one on the left is wearing a dark red warrior monk robe inlaid with gold. He is tall and has a cold face.
Fire Temple Predecessor Martial Monk Hall Chief Seat, Hefeng.
The one on the right has a similar appearance to Hefeng.
It's just that his cheeks are thinner, his brow bones are higher, and his eyes are more sinister.
Kazuma.
Hefeng and Ma were standing behind five people.
Five more people in Twelve Guardian Ninja.
While Kai was observing silently, Hefeng spoke.
"En Kosei-sama."
Hefeng Put his hands together, his posture is still the standard Buddhist etiquette, but his tone is undisguisedly cold:
"We support you so much, but you insist on supporting Hokage."
"As long as Hokage exists, Land of Fire cannot be monolithic."
"Since you are unwilling to take that step, we can only do it for you."
Daimyo's face is ugly.
He stared at Hefeng, his voice filled with irrepressible anger:
"Hefeng! I treat you well! How have I ever treated you badly during the years you have been the leader of the Daimyo's Palace?! How dare you launch a coup!"
"Coup?"
Hefeng Before he could speak, a sneer came from behind him.
"Father, you are wrong. This is not a coup, this is bringing order out of chaos."
"The power of Hokage is superior to that of Daimyo. This is not normal."
Father?
Kai raised his eyebrows.
He looked behind Kazuma.
A figure slowly walked out, surrounded by two Guard.
It was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, a crown and hat on his head, and a long sword symbolizing his status at his waist.
His facial features are very similar to En Kosei, but he is younger, with an undisguised ambition and pride.
En Soka.
En Kosei's eldest son.
"You... how dare you usurp the throne?!"
En Kosei's face instantly turned livid, and his voice became several degrees louder.
En Soka took a step forward calmly, with a calm smile on his face:
"Father, don't be stubborn."
"You are old and cannot see certain things clearly. My son understands."
"As long as Hokage is around for one day, our Daimyo rule will be in vain."
"You insist on not putting pressure on Konoha, so your son can do it for you."
Asuma stared at En Soka coldly.
"Your Highness, you have to think clearly. If you take this step, there is no turning back."
"A way back?"
En Soka glanced at him with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
"Sarutobi Asuma, you are Third Hokage's son, so naturally you think Hokage is good at everything."
"But have you ever thought that the growth of Konoha is based on the unlimited demand for Land of Fire resources?"
"Taxation, minerals, land - how many of these rights that should belong to the Daimyo's Palace have been eroded away by Konoha in the name of "protecting Land of Fire"?"
Asuma frowned and did not immediately refute.
These few sentences really hit home some facts.
There has been a long history of friction in resource allocation between Konoha and Land of Fire Daimyo's Palace.
Kai squatted in the shadow of the eaves and listened silently, having roughly sorted out the situation in his mind.
Hefeng Kazuma is quite smart and knows how to recommend a well-established person.
As the eldest son of En Soka Land of Fire Daimyo, En Soka has legal blood and sufficient status.
Even if a coup is launched, there is a justifiable reason to the outside world -
"Old Daimyo is old and confused, and the active Zen lies in the eldest son."
As for whether En Kosei himself lives or dies, it depends on how ruthless the new leader is.
Kay had little interest in the coup itself.
Whoever it is Daimyo, it would be the same to him.
What he cares more about is why Hefeng Kazuma launched this coup.
"Is it just the people in front of you?"
Hefeng, Kazuma, En Soka, plus the five elite Guard behind them, and several teams of guards who are still blocking the route on the outside.
Such a configuration can indeed make Daimyo's Palace chaotic for a while, but it is far from enough to stabilize the regime.
Unless, they have a backup plan.
Kai's eyes glanced behind Kazuma.
There, stood a boy of seven or eight years old.
The young man wore a dusty cloak, his head lowered, and seemed indifferent to everything around him.
But the familiar Chakra wave emanating from the other party made Kai's pupils suddenly shrink.
Cold, sinister, and penetratingly malicious.
"Nine-Tails..."
