Surrounded by a bunch of small fish.
Under the horrified eyes of the villagers of Wave Country, Ryosuke and his companions were brought to a small castle with an ancient history.
He judged the ancient history from the walls of the castle.
The architectural style of this castle is a bit like the castle that only European medieval nobles lived in in Ryosuke’s previous life.
It is obviously different from the Chinese-style pavilion where the daimyo of the Fire Country lives. It should be the difference in cultural heritage between countries, which extends to the differences in aesthetics, architecture, etc.
Entering the castle, the magnificent lights illuminate the entire castle.
The bright red and noble red carpet was laid from the entrance to the stairs.
On both sides of the red carpet, there was a row of beautiful maids wearing kimonos.
“Please come this way, my lords.”
Among a bunch of small fish ninjas, only one small fish leader could enter the castle, and the others stopped outside the gate.
The small fish leader bent down to lead the way, and quickly signaled with his eyes to let the maids next to him bow respectfully.
The maids on both sides also followed suit respectfully.
Soft and sweet greetings rang out in the magnificent hall.
The clothes they wore were all very loose kimonos. When they bent over, their skin was faintly visible and could not help but attract people’s attention. Their posture was even more attractive.
“It’s quite a grand show.”
Unfortunately, from beginning to end, Hyuga Hizashi, who was walking in the front, had a stern face and looked straight ahead without any change in expression.
And the other Hyuga behind him walked forward in the same manner.
“Master… It’s mainly because of the arrival of distinguished guests that we specially arranged it. It’s not so luxurious normally.” The leader of the miscellaneous fish talked awkwardly, trying to explain that this scene was only because of the arrival of the Hyuga.
In his heart, he secretly cursed the Hyuga group for their composure.
But unfortunately, Hyuga Hizashi didn’t pay any attention to him at all, and walked silently, as if the previous sentence was just a casual mention.
They didn’t take the initiative to speak, and the leader of the miscellaneous fish who led the way in front didn’t dare to speak.
Everyone walked quietly along the stairs to the upper level of the castle.
Ryosuke was among them, and he never spoke from beginning to end, silently following everyone, like a little transparent.
And the leader of the small fish, who was leading the way at the front, was completely soaked with sweat. He didn’t dare to look back at this group of weirdos, and his whole body was like he had just been fished out of the water.
Finally, just when he was about to be unable to withstand the pressure and his legs were weak and he knelt down.
The light on the top floor was like dawn, giving the small fish leader hope.
His trembling thighs couldn’t help but tighten again, and he quickened his pace, wanting to leave this depressing atmosphere as soon as possible.
But at this moment, three tall and majestic figures suddenly appeared at the stairs, blocking the dazzling lights, looking down at Ryosuke and others below.
Jonin, and three of them.
These three ferocious rebel ninjas were the ninjas hired by Cardo from the black market at a high price.
Ryosuke and others stopped and looked at the three Jonin with a calm face.
“Aku… Lord Akutagawa, Lord Kinoshita, Lord Atan.”
The leader of the miscellaneous fish looked grim, but he shouted respectfully.
He was about to cry, and he was caught between the two.
He could no longer imagine whether he would be pierced through the body by a kunai first, or be beheaded, if the two groups fought.
But soon, he found that the fierce and ferocious man in front of him, who had been arrogant and wanton since he was hired to come to this country of waves, stepped back a few steps cautiously, and did not provoke.
“No… I didn’t expect it to be you… Hyuga Hizashi!”
A cry of surprise came from one of them.
Whether it was Hyuga Hizashi or the others, there was no fluctuation, as if they had known that the top area of the castle… had three rebel ninjas who were rated as A-level by major countries and whose strength was equivalent to that of jonin.
In fact, they did know it a long time ago.
When they were some distance away from the castle, they had already confirmed the situation through their Byakugan.
No matter how many ninjas there are, what level they are at, and even the architectural layout of the castle and what rooms there are, they have confirmed it clearly.
“Is it such a coincidence, Kinoshita from Iwagakure Village and Akutagawa from Sand Village.”
Hinata Hizashi seemed to know two of them, and said coldly, “As for this… Adan from Yugakure Village.”
He pondered for a moment, as if he was recalling this person’s name in his mind.
But soon, he shook his head, “Sorry, I really can’t remember which war I have heard of your reputation.”
They are all old acquaintances. As the strongest ninja village in the past, Konoha has never fought a relatively fair battle in any war with one against several.
Inevitably, they will recognize many elites from the enemy villages on the battlefield.
And Kinoshita and Akutagawa were the elites of Iwakage Village and Sand Village in the past.
“Does Cardo want you to… come and show me your power?”
Hinata Hizashi stared at the three people.
Although from his position, he was looking up at an angle.
But in fact, his tone and posture when he spoke were more like looking down at the three people.
“No, no, no, Hiashi Jonin, you misunderstood.”
Regardless of the original plan, after seeing that there was a guy named Hyuga Hizashi among the Hyuga people, Akutagawa and his team did not intend to continue with the previous plan.
At least, they felt that they did not cause an unnecessary conflict.
“You… get out of here.”
Using his eyes to signal the leader of the miscellaneous fish, Akutagawa casually said: “Let us lead the way next.”
“… Yes, yes, yes!”
After a few seconds of silence, the leader of the miscellaneous fish smiled with relief, hurriedly replied a few times, bent over carefully, passed by Ryosuke and the others, and fled downstairs.
“Everyone, please come this way.”
Akutagawa, the senior ninja, was very polite and not humble, inviting them to go upstairs.
The senior ninjas Kinoshita and Adan followed him closely, their clothes almost stuck together.
Although they were leading the way, the muscles of the three of them were always tense, and they kept a long distance from Ryosuke and the others, looking very alert.
But unfortunately, their inner thoughts had long been exposed in their actions, and were seen by the white eyes of Ryosuke and the others.
However, this scene did not seem funny.
Ryosuke believed that they could see the body language of the three rebel ninjas in front of them, and the three rebel ninjas also knew that their movements would be seen clearly.
As experienced jonins, and two of them came from a ninja village of a big country, these three people undoubtedly knew the ability of the Hyuga Byakugan.
Now showing it like this is more of a warning.
It is directly telling Ryosuke and others through body language that if they are unwilling to sit down and negotiate peacefully, they are ready at any time.
When they came to the top floor, they saw a decoration that was more magnificent than the hall, showing the meaning of luxury.
Before Ryosuke and others could pay more attention, a respectful and gentle voice sounded, “Welcome, the ninjas from Konoha.”
