Chapter 205 The seeds planted
At the same time, the Uchihas hiding in the relatively distant woods sighed.
"Lord Huo Yun, the ninja we left behind did indeed take Qiandao hostage, but unexpectedly he went to find people from Kakashi in Konoha... What should we do now?"
"Yes! Originally we thought that if the credit for saving the daimyo was not enough, we could also save the friends of Prince Heron and Princess Ibis, so that the next generation of heirs would speak good words to us and pave the way for the future... But now it looks like this
A share of the credit will be taken away by Konoha."
Several Uchihas were also very depressed.
Because there are not too many people to rescue the palace, after all, too many people will seem too oppressive, which is not good, so they were assigned to this side, and were led by Uchiha Huoyun to complete the "spare tire plan".
However, now their spare tire has run away and is running in the wrong direction, which is really depressing.
"Damn it! If we weren't afraid of getting too close and alerting the enemy, this credit should be ours!"
"Okay, don't be impatient!"
Uchiha Huoyun raised his hand and stopped the tribesmen who were about to make a move.
"With Master Itachi's strength, it is easy to defeat that Meng Zong. Our main goal is still accomplished. This is just the icing on the cake. Don't get into trouble because of it."
"But……"
"Besides, it's not like I really didn't do anything."
"Oh? As expected of the old Y...cough, the wily and scheming Lord Huo Yun! Have you been prepared for it a long time ago?"
"Wait a minute, Lord Huo Yun also suggested that Lord Itachi go to the lake to 'encounter' Princess Ibis. Could it be that at that time..."
"That's right, the seeds were already planted at that time."
"But, but... I heard that those royal families have their own protective measures. If they are discovered..."
"Then let's be discovered! How could that kind of crudely made seed be an illusion created by our Uchiha clan?"
The corners of Uchiha Huoyun's mouth curved.
"What's more, that illusion is set to only be triggered when encountering those wandering ninjas. Isn't this the conspiracy of those wandering ninjas? How could it have anything to do with us Uchiha!"
"!!!"
Awesome, Lord Huo Yun!
Many Uchiha looked at Uchiha Huoyun in amazement, this person is really awesome!
In this way, even if it is discovered that the princess has been possessed by an illusion, it is still a problem of wandering ninjas and has nothing to do with them at all!
Maybe we can get Lord Itachi to be a hero to save the beauty or something?
This Princess Ibis is said to be very popular. It turns out that this princess will help them establish the Ninja Village. It must be a sure thing.
"If everything goes well, the princess will not directly encounter Lang Ninja at all, and I don't hope that this backhand will be used."
Of course, if things don't go well, they will naturally have to resort to some tricks.
…
In the palace, Uchiha Itachi was expressing Uchiha's gratitude to "Count D" at this time, and showed in various ways that their Uchiha was still the Uchiha of Konoha, and the village they built was also part of Konoha.
On the other side, Iki, who couldn't sleep because he was frightened, was anxiously preparing to go find his brother.
Even if there were strengthened security around her, she still didn't feel safe.
However, as a "big girl" who is almost ten years old, of course, such unruly things cannot be done openly.
Therefore, Ibis tied up her long hair very skillfully, hid the braid in a hat, then put on a neutral robe, imitated her brother's style and swaggered out of the door, and ran into him.
the patrolling guards.
"Your Highness Heron?"
"Ahem, a lot happened today. I was worried that the ibis was scared, so I came to see her."
Ibis, who had already had his own ideas about imitating his brother, changed his voice and walked to "his" palace in a familiar way.
"Now that the ibis has been coaxed to sleep by me, don't disturb her, just stay quietly outside the concierge."
"yes!"
The guards took the order without any doubt.
In the Kingdom of Birds, there is only one prince, Heron, who is the determined next successor to the daimyo.
In addition, the daimyo of Tori Country has a generous temperament and is confused about many things. On the contrary, Prince Heron, who is precocious and shrewd and capable, handles more government affairs, so he is very convinced by this prince's words.
However, even so, because of the Meng Zong incident that had just occurred, these guards were worried about the prince running around alone.
"Your Highness Lu, why don't you let me escort you back to your room? Your Royal Highness has my men here to protect you."
"That's... okay, it's troublesome."
Ibis thought, based on my brother's habits, he should still be reading in the room at this time, and I would be running around. As long as the guard is not allowed to enter the room, there shouldn't be a big problem.
After all, with her brother's personality, he would not refuse the kindness of others.
In this way, a guard escorted "Prince Heron" back to the prince's courtyard.
The Daimyo of Tori Country is not a person with extravagant style. The palace is not very large. Moreover, because the Daimyo loves his children, the sleeping halls of Prince Heron and Princess Toki are actually on the left and right sides of the Daimyo's sleeping hall.
Therefore, when the ibis dressed as "Prince Heron" passed by her father's palace, she subconsciously paid attention to the palace, and then saw two familiar figures.
"Who are those two?"
"He's a ninja from Konoha. It seems he has something urgent to ask for."
"It does look familiar... Wait, they seem to be the medical ninjas who treated my father before?"
Ibis thought the two back figures looked familiar at first, but he remembered it after being reminded by the guard next to him, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Is it possible that my father is ill? No, I have to go and take a look!"
Seeing that "Prince Heron" was so concerned about the daimyo's physical condition, the guards naturally would not stop him. Moreover, he was not qualified to stop him. He just guarded the prince conscientiously.
At this time, the door of the daimyo's palace had not yet been closed, and there was a faint sound coming from inside.
"...Anyway, that's it. The young man named Qiandao has become a hostage at this time. I don't know how to deal with it, so I came here specifically to ask the daimyo for advice."
The Nohara couple had diagnosed the Daimyos of Tori Land, including the twin princes and princesses, so they were fairly familiar with each other.
Naturally, they would not follow the advice of the wandering ninja to find the prince or princess. Of course, they would report anything to the daimyo.
As for whether the daimyo is willing to tell his children about this matter, that is not something they can interfere with.
After hearing this, Ibis' mind suddenly froze, and he stopped at the door without going in.
For his gentle and delicate childhood sweetheart, Ibis had always had a vague affection for him deep down in his heart. At this time, in shock and worry, his whole heart skipped a beat and froze.
What made her even more desperate was her father's next words.
"I also watched the child from Qiandao grow up. If possible, I would of course want to save him. However, the Meng Zong they are talking about... is the 'Broom' who has been killed and cannot satisfy the other party's request for a hostage exchange.
Require."
"Is that so? It's indeed a bit troublesome."
"As the Daimyo of Tori Country, I would like to entrust you with rescuing that child."
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds spoke solemnly, and then a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he immediately became firm again.
"Just do your best in everything. If something cannot be done, there is no need to force it, but please be sure to eradicate Meng Zong's remnants!"
