Chapter 37
When the daimyo ascended the throne, the land of fire was only a small country. During his reign, he worked hard to manage the country, which gradually increased its national strength, and realized the potential behind the Shinobis, and hit it off with Hashirama, agreeing with the Shinobi village plan proposed by Hashirama, and the state hired Konohagakure shinobi.
Afterwards, Daimyo used the Shinobi as the main force and the samurai army as the supplementary method of combat, personally formulated external military operations, and nibbled the surrounding small countries one by one.
Even among all the monarchs of the Land of Fire in all dynasties, this daimyo should be among the best, or even the greatest, and is destined to be admired by future generations.
However, because he worked too hard on state affairs, Daimyo had become ill from overwork before he knew it. It was just a minor illness, and all the hidden dangers in him broke out at once, and he could not afford to be seriously ill immediately Daimyo passed away.
After Tobirama learned the news, he quickly informed Hashirama, who was recovering at home, who couldn't help but sighed and said, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness to leave before me."
Hashirama has cooperated with Daimyo for many years, and there is also a friendship between monarchs and ministers, so how can he not be sad?
"Brother, since the daimyo has passed away, I will go to the burial of the daimyo mansion." Tobirama said, "While I leave the village, the village will be entrusted to my brother."
"No, I'm going to have a look too." Hashirama shook his head and said, "I've known His Royal Highness for many years, and I can't stay in the village. Don't worry about my body. It doesn't matter what the road is."
Tobirama of course knew that Hashirama went to the funeral in person, and it was easier to win the trust of the new king, but Hashirama's body was getting weaker and he didn't want to add a burden to his brother. It's just that Hashirama said so, and looking at his expression, he knew that he couldn't stop it, and Tobirama didn't say any more.
Since Tobirama and Hashirama are preparing to leave the village, the daily affairs of the village are managed by Mito. As the wife of first generation of Hokage, she has the ability to temporarily take over the duties. Afterwards, Tobirama selected some people from Anbu to protect him and Hashirama from going to the Daimyo House as an escort.
Originally, Tobirama didn't plan to bring many people. He is very strong and only needs one team. However, if Hashirama went together, he had to choose more teams. You know, people who want Hashirama's life are not small, as long as he hasn't really died, someone is willing to assassinate him to gain money and fame.
In the past, someone from Takigakure came to assassinate Hashirama. At that time, Hashirama was at his peak, so he could easily defeat the opponent. However, the opponent's strength was not bad, so Hashirama used the Mokuton, and he was able to defeat the opponent. He fled in front of Hashirama of course, mainly because Hashirama had no intention of chasing him.
Now, the news of Hashirama's abdicated due to illness has spread all over the Shinobi world, and maybe some people will dare to assassinate Hashirama, so Tobirama has to be fully prepared.
Soon, Tobirama decided to escort the team, that is, the Anbu team including seven disciples under his sect. There were three teams in total. Masaki did not expect that he would have the opportunity to travel to the capital so soon, but looking at it this way for big things, I may not have the opportunity to see the scriptures in the Temple of Fire.
In addition to shouldering the responsibility of protecting Hokage, other people also have a little longing for the capital. They have never been to the capital, and they don't know what it is like. At least, Rimi can show the clothes from Masaki. To show how prosperous the country is.
The Daimyo's funeral was imminent, and Tobirama was ready to leave. The group gathered at the gate of the village. In addition to the seven disciples, Rimi, and a member of the Hyūga clan was selected from the three teams.
The Byakugan of the Hyūga clan are good at reconnaissance. As long as this member of the Hyūga clan is present, he can ensure control over the surrounding situation. Masaki first saw this Hyūga branch. It's called Hyūga Kai.
Hyūga Kai is also a very talented person in the Hyūga clan. He has a close blood relationship with the current Hyūga's patriarch. The Hyūga clan sent him to the Anbu directly under Hokage. The purpose is obvious. It is to increase the relationship with Hokage. Rather, every Anbu member has this kind of mind more or less.
The leaders of the three squads are Senju Momoka, a Shinobi who has been following Hashirama and Tobirama, as well as Sarutobi Kosuke, a master of the Sarutobi family, and Aburame Yuichi, a master of the Aburame clan.
With these people by his side, Tobirama believed that Hashirama's safety was sufficient, so he confirmed with everyone where he was in charge, and set off.
There is a special official road between Konoha and the capital. All unnecessary obstacles are removed, and it goes directly to the capital. In the battle Hashirama and Madara, this official road was also affected. Fortunately, it was not serious. It was patched back soon.
Along the way, Hyūga Kai kept looking around through his eyes, and cooperated with his own captain Aburame Yuichi. There were almost no Shinobis who could get past them. , this is not an outing.
Outside of the mission, Masaki and others can laugh freely, but in the process of the mission, Tobirama requires everyone to take it seriously and not relax. He hates that kind of frivolous behavior, which is absolutely not allowed appeared in front of him.
After the training of Anbu, the literacy of Masaki and others is undoubtedly up to the standard. On the way, they are silent and loyal to their responsibilities. Only when they are resting, they use their own efforts to deal with this situation. Study the dialogue method and complain about the current depressed atmosphere.
In their minds, Tobirama is amiable most of the time, but in this case, he will appear too indifferent. If Hashirama is the leader of the journey, the atmosphere will not be so dull.
Hashirama could have been able to liven up the atmosphere, but now his health is very poor, and he is worried because of the death of the daimyo. He either rushes on the road or sits and rests by the side, without any intention of speaking.
A few days later, the capital appeared in front of everyone. Tobirama stepped forward to chat with the guards of the capital for a while, and then brought the others into the capital.
As soon as they entered the capital, Hiruzen and others, who had never been here before, suddenly lit up. The buildings in the Konoha were very boring. However, the capital was strangely prosperous. One is not available in Konoha, and they are dizzying to see.
Even if Masaki had experience in another world, it was already a brand new city at that time. Although there were TV dramas, in terms of visual sense, it was far less real than the capital in front of him, and the atmosphere was strong.
Hashirama and Tobirama are already used to it, and there is no delay. Tobirama did not go to the Daimyo House immediately, but brought everyone to the temple in the capital, that is, the Temple of Fire. Don't need to bring so many people, only he and Hashirama will go to see the Royal Family, and the rest will stay in the Temple of Fire.
Masaki didn't know if he was lucky or not. Not only did he come to the capital, but he also went directly to the Temple of Fire. Although it was impossible to check the Shinobi classics in the country of fire at once, at least, it was possible learned some knowledge in the scriptures from The monk or the host.
In the country of fire, the host and several monks came out to greet Tobima and Hashirama. The host was a kind old man over fifty years old. He told Masaki and others that the fire temple would arrange guest rooms for them to live in. Before the two Hokage leave, they can live here.
Tobirama instructed Senju Momoka and other three captains to do some things, and then rushed to Daimyo Mansion with Hashirama. The three captains followed closely. After seeing the two entering the Daimyo Mansion, they would return to the Temple of Fire.
The rest of the people, led by the monks, went to the guest room, and then the host of the Temple of Fire would take them to visit the Temple of Fire.
