A week later, late at night.

After some private planning with the left minister's envoy, Kazuma finally decided to assassinate the weak and incompetent daimyo on this day.

Although he had never been able to meet Minister Zuo and others in person, which made him a little suspicious, but in the blink of an eye, he always contacted special envoys in the past, and the assassination of a famous person was a serious matter, so it was normal to have as little contact as possible to avoid exposure.

Of course, the most important reason is that Kazuma is a lofty idealist.

His ideal is very similar to that of Yunting to some extent.

They all believe that the Fire Country does not need two jade, and all real power should be handed over to the daimyo, so that the Fire Country can become a true whole.

The same goes for Yunting.

Tired of the one-country-one-village system, he also believes that the Fire Country and Konoha should be integrated, but this power should be given to him who has the ability to lead the Fire Country to grow stronger. As the Hokage, he is the right one.

Idealists have a fearless spirit of self-dedication.

After the daimyo whom he regarded as the orthodox rejected his proposal, Kazuma felt a sense of despair that his ideals were broken.

But with a firm mind, he quickly stabilized.

He thinks that he is not the one who is wrong, so it can only be the Daimyo who is wrong.

From this, he began to have the extreme idea that it would be better to change to jade to realize his self-worth.

Even without the envoy controlled by Shisui to fan the flames, Kazuma's character will sooner or later embark on this path.

Especially now that Konoha's Hokage has begun to reveal his ambitions.

This move will only come quickly.

Just like now.

Five of the twelve guardian ninjas who had the same idea as him were walking with him through the huge daimyo mansion.

In the past, they were responsible for protecting the safety of the owners here.

Now we are going to take his life.

Kazuma and the others were very aware of every plant and tree in the daimyo's mansion, and they headed towards the castle tower without any delay.

Along the way, after realizing that all the previous guards were gone, Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, just as the special envoy said, these people had been specially transferred away by Minister Zuo and others, which also prevented them from alerting the enemy.

risk.

As the distance got closer, just when Hema and his group were looking happy and saw that the operation was about to succeed, suddenly!

A sharp kunai shot out from the darkness and stuck in their path.

"Kazuma! What are you doing here sneaking around late at night?"

The master of the kunai stepped out of the shadows, and it was Sarutobi Asuma.

Kazuma's heart sank, because after the latter appeared, Jilu, Beigen, Chengma and others also appeared one after another.

Suddenly, the entire twelve guardian ninjas appeared in the daimyo's mansion late at night.

‘What’s going on? Didn’t the special envoy ensure that Asma and the others will be transferred from other tasks tonight?’ Kazuma suddenly had a bad idea.

It's just that there is no turning back now. After missing this opportunity, there will be no chance to assassinate the daimyo again, so I can only force it!

Kazuma gritted his teeth and waved his hands with murderous intent: "A bunch of Konoha's lackeys! Kill them for the sake of the Fire Country!"

Instantly!

The radical faction headed by Kazuma killed Asuma and others.

The civil war among the twelve guardian ninjas broke out.

"As expected! You actually want to assassinate the Daimyo!" Asuma pulled out the chakra sword named Feiyan and said with an ugly face while responding to the enemy.

He had received a reminder from Konoha before that Kazuma and others were going to assassinate the daimyo, but he still didn't believe it.

After all, the point of view of this group of people is to treat the Daimyo as the only jade in the Fire Country, so why would they do anything to those who are loyal to them?

If we really want to assassinate the daimyo, those of them who are inextricably linked to Konoha are more likely.

However, just now when he saw Kazuma and his gang sneaking in late at night and fully armed, Asuma's doubts disappeared instantly.

Now, even if he doesn't want to, he can only participate in the cannibalism of the twelve guardian ninjas.

"Asuma! Don't act innocent. Without you Konoha, how could we have embarked on this path! Such a thing as Hokage should not exist!"

Kazuma gnashed his teeth and roared angrily, and at the same time quickly formed seals with his hands and said,

"Earth Release·Earth Dragon Technique!"

Amidst the roar, an earth dragon rose from the ground and killed its former companions without mercy.

At the same time, the battle between the other ten people also quickly started.

Ninjas who can join the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors are all at the level of jounin.

Therefore, once the civil war started, it instantly caused an uproar in the daimyo mansion, which naturally alarmed the owner here.

Inside the castle tower, the Daimyo of the Fire Country was looking at the outside world with a look of shock and anger.

He never expected that his men would come to assassinate his master.

"Your Majesty, the information provided by Konoha is correct."

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is not alone. Beside him is Nara Shikama, the commander-in-chief of Konoha's capital troops.

Regarding the news that Kazuma and his group were going to assassinate the daimyo tonight, he not only told Asuma, but also told the daimyo in front of him.

Seeing is believing.

The daimyo who couldn't believe it before could only nod his head gloomily.

Seeing this, Nara Shikama continued: "Wakoma alone does not have such great determination. After all, he is just a tool. Behind him, the real ones standing are the Zuo Minister and his gang. If you, the daimyo, are assassinated, then these

People can support the Daimyo-dono's children to rise to power, and then the Fire Nation will be completely controlled by their group."

Minister Zuo did have contact with Kazuma, but the former did not participate in the assassination. However, since Konoha was involved, it is true whether it is true or not.

The daimyo naturally listened.

After that, Konoha only needs to present carefully prepared evidence, and the faction with the greatest ill intentions towards Konoha within the Country of Fire will be overthrown.

Seeing that the drama has started smoothly and his mission has been successfully completed, Nara Shikama suggested: "Your Excellency, the battle between ninjas has spread too wide. For the sake of safety, I'd better take you to leave first.

As for the traitors like Kazuma, even if the guardian ninja cannot solve them internally, we in Konoha will help."

The daimyo nodded silently.

Now that he no longer has the twelve guardian ninjas, he can only rely on Konoha for his safety.

So Nara Shikama waved his hand, and a Konoha ninja squadron quickly appeared to protect the daimyo and evacuate.

Since then, in the huge daimyo mansion, only the twelve warriors from the guardian ninja were left to kill each other.

And further out.

An ANBU team is watching all this quietly.

Like a seasoned hunter, patiently waiting for the final closing of the net.

......

"Fire escape·Ashes accumulate and burn!"

After using his famous fire escape ninjutsu to push back the enemy in front of him, Sarutobi Asuma gasped for air, recovering his strength while watching the surrounding battle situation.

The Twelve Guardian Shinobi have been together for so many years, and even though they have ideological differences, they all understand each other's abilities very well.

Therefore, in this civil war between guardian ninjas, even though they have been fighting for a while, both sides have suffered serious injuries to each other, and the real winner has still not been determined.

At this moment, Asuma, who couldn't bear to see the guardian nin continue to kill each other, once again persuaded: "Kazuma, your plan has been exposed a long time ago. It is impossible to succeed. It's better to just surrender. After all, we are friends. When the time comes, we will

I will plead for you in front of the daimyo."

Kazuma didn't appreciate it at all when he heard this: "If we can't save the Fire Country, it won't be in vain if we kill you Konoha lackeys!"

The plan failed and he had no hope ahead. He was desperate to kill all the people in front of him who had shattered his ideals.

The five people who had been following him didn't say anything, and continued to fight regardless of themselves.

Having the same ideal, they will naturally not lack the determination to dedicate themselves to it.

The radicals among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas were already very powerful, and with the current desperate struggle for life and death, the situation of Asuma and the others could not help but become extremely dangerous.

In the end, the lives of the six latter people were hanging by a thread.

Beigen, Chengma, Xingdou, and Dongyu, who had been silent all this time, stood up at this time, seized the fleeting opportunity, stimulated their last chakra, and performed the most powerful technique under their combined power.

"Thunder Escape·Leimeng Leiren!"

The power of Lei Meng Lei Ren in his true peak state can even destroy a village.

Although the four Pekans are no longer in peak condition, they are still enough to kill the six Kazumas with just their last chakra.

The next moment, a blinding white light illuminated the entire night.

After the earth-shaking thunder disappeared, a huge charred black pit appeared where the six Hema people were, and their figures had completely turned into ashes.
