Naruto Six Paths Iruka

Chapter 312 23. Assassin
"Uncle, is this year's harvest okay?" Ghost Lantern Sirius stood in the rice field surrounded by a group of guards.

The farmer who was weeding was taken aback by the battle. He looked at the group of people who suddenly came in front of him, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"Damyo asked you something, didn't you hear?" A samurai next to him held down the hilt of his knife and shouted.

"Hey, don't scare people." Ghost Lantern Sirius stopped him, "Uncle, don't be afraid, I'm a daimyo, I just want to understand the situation here."

"Master Daming." The farmer chanted this word, and finally figured out the situation, he quickly lay down on the ground, "My lord, my lord."

"Okay, okay," Ghost Lantern Sirius quickly helped him up, "Don't be so polite, it's okay, just treat it as a friend and chat."

"Ah, okay." The farmer stood up and replied, "It looks like this year's harvest will be better than last year's."

"Oh, how is your family's life going?" Ghost Lantern Sirius continued to ask.

Farmer: "Very good, since my son got married, he has been very good."

Looking at this person's age, when his son got married, wasn't it the time when I took control of the Kingdom of Jue?Ghost Lantern Sirius was a little happy in his heart, it seemed that he still did a good job.

"In the future, it can be said that it is getting better and better." The farmer continued, "There is just one thing that I don't quite understand, and no one in our village can explain it to me."

"Oh?" Ghost Lantern Sirius thought that he had finally asked something today, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Farmer: "It's a good country of nobles, why is it called the country of fire?"

"Hi!" Ghost Lantern Sirius thought to himself. I thought he was asking about something important. This is a shitty thing. It's just a change of name. It doesn't matter.When the emperor divided the princes, he also added some land to himself.

Farmer: "Doesn't it sound good to be the country of nobles?"

"Oh, that's it, uncle," Ghost Lantern Sirius said, "to put it simply, we have changed the dynasty. I forgot who the co-lords of the world were in the past, and then they disappeared. Later, the Emperor once again unified the world , let’s change the name.”

"Oh, it's so simple," said the farmer, "I thought it was a big deal, and no one would know."

Ghost Lantern Sirius felt that it was a waste of time to continue chatting here, so he hurriedly reminded: "Then uncle, if everything is fine, I will leave. If you think your officials are bullying people, you should report , Hurry up, I won’t have a chance if I leave.”

"Our officials are okay," the farmer thought for a while before continuing, "They only came to collect the grain once the grain in the field had been harvested twice. When they encountered a family with a large population, they would collect less. A little bit. During the last grain collection, it seemed that some people came to requisition to reclaim wasteland far away, but few people went, and they didn’t arrest anyone. Others, it’s nothing.”

Ghost Lantern Sirius did some calculations, and the approximate harvesting time was about the same.As for the collection of immigrants to the new territory, it is not mandatory.Everything was done according to his request, no big problem.

"Okay, uncle, keep busy, keep busy." Ghost Lantern Sirius greeted the guards and left the rice field.

Since he took charge of the country of Jue, he began to carry out drastic reforms.Those disciples of Thales were sent by him to various cities to supervise the local government affairs.Over time, on the one hand, these people became familiar with government affairs, and on the other hand, they also cultivated many new disciples.After the emperor redistributed the land, the new Kingdom of Fire was almost entirely controlled by Thales' disciples.And he, Ghost Lantern Sirius, is a daimyo on the one hand and the head of the sect on the other hand.So in terms of governance, it is almost handy.

They all have common beliefs and interests, so at most they are greedy for a little money and live a little extravagantly, and there are no big problems.Ghost Lantern Sirius is among the princes, although his personal ability is not too strong, but relying on such a team from top to bottom, his execution ability is the strongest.Every time the emperor assigns him a task, he can always compete with Sun Bing for the first place.

He didn't even want to bring guards when he went out. No one in the entire Fire Nation wanted to assassinate him.It's just that he sometimes reluctantly brings some because of his lack of ostentation, which makes the people not believe that he is a daimyo.

This time, he still brought his guards to inspect a city in the northern part of the Land of Fire.Along the way, they visited many cities and villages around the cities, and gained a general understanding of the people's livelihood in this area.

"Captain Armadillo, look, is that their name?"

Chuanshan suddenly stopped, looking at the convoy that just passed by.

"How come? The daimyo only bring so few people with them?" Armadillo looked towards the convoy and saw the flag on the car, "Oh my god, what a daimyo! Let me see, one, two, three, four, four cars Che, this name is really poor."

"It's not as good as our Master Suqin," Chuanshan smacked his lips, "When our Master Suqin goes out, there are at least dozens of people in battle."

"I said," Armadillo said, "we haven't thought about what to do in the Land of Fire, so we might as well attack this daimyo."

Chuanshan: "How can this be done? Master Mao Sui has explained that no one can be killed."

"No one will be killed," said the armadillo. "We just frighten them and run away when we're done frightening them, and we don't hit anyone."

Chuanshan: "Is this okay?"

Armadillo: "What are the original words of Mr. Mao Sui?"

Chuanshan: "Try to make as much noise as possible, not too big, but not too small, we must let them mess up for a few days, and don't kill anyone. The most important thing is, don't let people discover our identities."

"That's right," said the armadillo. "Isn't it fitting that we sneak up on them, maim their horses, and run away when their wagons break down?"

Chuanshan thought for a while: "Yes."

"Go," said the armadillo, "call the other brothers and explain to them, we will go ahead and wait."

Ghost Lantern Sirius was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed, not expecting that there were five people waiting for him hiding in the grass in front of him.

"Get ready. Throw it!" The armadillo ordered, and the darts in the hands of the five people were thrown out together.

Chuanshan: "What, didn't hit?"

Armadillo: "Idiot, let the dart fly for a while at such a long distance."

As soon as the words fell, the two horses in the first car were hit by a burst of darts, raised their front hooves, and neighed painfully towards the sky.

"What's going on?" Ghost Lantern Sirius stuck his head out from the second car.

The guard didn't know either. He got out of the car and ran to the front: "My lord asked you why? What is this?"

He saw several horses fell to the ground in pain, with some small square iron pieces stuck on their bodies, and hurriedly shouted: "Be alert! There are assassins!"

"Is there an assassin?" The curious Ghost Lantern Sirius also got out of the car, and hadn't met an assassin for many years.

"My lord, there are assassins, get in the car first!" The guards surrounded him, drew their knives, and looked around.

"Don't worry, I, Ghost Lantern Sirius, is not a vegetarian." Ghost Lantern Sirius returned to the car, but immediately came out again, holding a long knife in his hand, "Where is the assassin? Come out and let me see."
