Uchiha's Onmyoji

As the ruler of the Fire Country, the Daimyo knew that the capital city was different from other cities in the country.

The city has huge symbolic meaning.

If the capital of a country is destroyed, he will not only be ridiculed by other countries for his incompetence, but also lose his own face.What's more, it might shake his rule.

That's why he seemed so eager.

Jiraiya still sat on the ground with the old god present, "Don't worry, I'm here for this. Orochimaru, this time, I will do my best to stop him."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The daimyo breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then showed an unprecedented positive attitude, "Then do you need Yu's cooperation? Tell me your plan, Jiraiya! Also, you can't cause any big losses to the capital. Especially the inner city!”

"I'll do my best."

Zilai also nodded in agreement.

Of course, he actually had no idea.

He understands Orochimaru's cunning better than anyone else. Now that Orochimaru is hiding in the dark, he may not be able to expose his plan.

He said to the daimyo: "Please evacuate the residents of the city as much as possible. We will try our best to make preparations to reduce the losses."

"Good good."

The daimyo agreed wholeheartedly, and then ordered the samurai around him to call several officials and assign the task of dispersing the city residents.

"Any more?"

He asked still somewhat eagerly.

Jiraiya shook his head, "We still don't know what Orochimaru is planning to do. I'm going to check out all the people and buildings in the city as quickly as possible."

"Troubleshooting? Okay, we need to investigate!"

The daimyo called in other officials and began to give instructions.

Jiraiya knew that the daimyo could only help so much with this matter, so he stood up and said, "That's it, we have to go to work next."

"Wait a minute." The daimyo stopped him hastily.

"Is there anything else?" Jiraiya turned around.

The daimyo quickly said: "The daimyo mansion must also be on guard. If it is Orochimaru, I feel that the current guard strength is still not enough!"

"It's really difficult."

Jiraiya muttered, scratching his head helplessly.

He turned to look at Sasuke, "Sasuke, how about your team staying here to protect the daimyo?"

The big name on the high platform immediately showed joy.

"My goal is to kill Orochimaru." Sasuke refused without hesitation.

"Sasuke-kun!" The daimyo also hurriedly persuaded, "Jiraiya is enough for things outside. Since Orochimaru wants to destroy the capital, where else can be more meaningful than the daimyo mansion? You will have more benefits if you stay here. Great chance to meet Orochimaru."

"is it?"

Sasuke thought for a moment, then looked at his companion questioningly.

Seeing Neji nod to him, Sasuke simply agreed.

"Okay, okay!" The daimyo clapped his hands happily and ordered everyone to treat Sasuke and the others well.

Jiraiya led the others out of the hall.

Next, a banquet was even held in the main hall, and several officials were invited to accompany the guests.

After the banquet started, both the daimyo and the officials began to approach Sasuke.

They raised glasses to Sasuke from time to time, not caring that he was drinking tea at the banquet, and inquiring about the news about the Great Onmyoji Uchiha Ri and the Underworld.

Sasuke was absent-minded and answered these people's questions word by word.

He looked at the rest of his team concentrating on enjoying the food, and suddenly felt regretful.

He felt that he shouldn't stay.

I'm almost bored to death now.

But he couldn't get angry and leave, so he could only deal with it reluctantly.

In the evening, Jiraiya and the others returned to the main hall, and the banquet was not over yet.

However, Sasuke's eyes were already glazed over.

Shikamaru, who followed Jiraiya into the hall, was secretly surprised at Sasuke's change.

He felt that if this kind of thing had happened before, Sasuke would have smashed the table and ran away.

As soon as Jiraiya came in, he occupied a seat and started eating like crazy.

At the same time, he said to everyone: "Nothing was found. That guy Orochimaru really won't reveal his lies easily."

"Now we can only recharge our batteries and be in the best condition to meet tomorrow's emergencies," Asma said.

The daimyo was obviously a little dissatisfied when he heard what they said.

But he had no choice. He still needed the protection of these ninjas, so of course he couldn't complain for the time being.

At this time, the three of Inorakacho walked to sit next to Sasuke's team.

Sasuke asked Shikamaru in surprise: "What exactly does Orochimaru want to do? Didn't even you think of it?"

"Thank you for having such great confidence in me, Sasuke." Shikamaru said distressedly, "But if there are no clues at all, I can't carry out analysis."

"Oh."

Sasuke looked away, leaving Shikamaru with a disappointed look.

"..."

Shikamaru almost choked to death.

If he couldn't beat this guy, he thought, he would have a rare passion in his life.

"Then do you have any guesses, Shikamaru?" Ino asked.

When Choji was completely addicted to food, she was kind enough to come to Shikamaru's rescue.

She said: "Although there is no evidence, we can also make some plans."

"Well, of course there are some speculations, but without evidence, it's difficult to make a correct judgment." Shikamaru scratched his head, "But...it's too troublesome, so I won't say it anymore!"

"Tell me, what are your guesses?" Sasuke immediately turned around with interest.

Shikamaru said: "It's very simple. If Orochimaru wants to destroy the capital, he can only start from two directions."

"The city itself and the people in the city?" Sasuke looked at him questioningly.

"That's right, it's either the city itself, or the people in the city, or both. As long as you think about it from this aspect, it's much simpler." Shikamaru continued, "Because I want to deal with such a big city. To destroy a city, the only means that can be used are those."

Sasuke nodded in understanding and asked him again: "So, as long as we move the people in the city out of the city, half the battle has been won?"

"You can also say that," Shikamaru said, "When the time comes, we can abandon one party and protect the other with all our strength. However, generally speaking, what we choose to protect is of course people."

"I'm afraid the daimyo won't agree." Neji commented softly, "He doesn't want the capital to be damaged."

"At times like this, of course the residents are more important, right?" Ino said.

Neji shook his head, "That idea is just yours, it doesn't mean that the daimyo will think the same way. In the eyes of the nobles, the destruction of the capital has a much greater impact than the killing of the residents."

"You're right." Shikamaru's face darkened.

By this time, Jiraiya and the Daimyo had already argued over this issue.
