"Did Balrog-sama be poisoned to death?" Shuntaro asked.
"Yes." Shintaro slowly closed his eyes, "After our inspection just now, Lord Balrog died of poison."
"Shintaro, what happened?" Shuntaro stood up slowly, looking at Shintaro with a sharp gaze that seemed to be able to pierce the human body, "tell me clearly."
"It all started when you and Kyutaro went out on missions"
Shintaro tells the story of Balrog's death bit by bit
After Shuntaro and Kyutaro both left Shiranui and went to perform their respective tasks, Balrog temporarily put down some unimportant matters to be dealt with, and went to patrol around the village.
It is very common for the Balrog to walk around the village suddenly and patrol every place in the village.
The Balrog would patrol around the village every few days.
So no matter who it is, after seeing the Balrog walking around in the village, they all look familiar.
Balrog's inspection this time was not without purpose.
He recently planned to make new plans and adjustments to the layout of the village.
His inspection tour this time is to inspect the current layout of the village with his own eyes and prepare for future layout adjustments.
It is precisely because of this political purpose that the Balrog is not patrolling alone.
Shintaro followed behind him.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" are the existences in Shiranui Rizhong whose status is second only to Balrog.
As one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Shintaro naturally has the ability and qualifications to participate in important decisions such as "adjusting the layout of the village" that affect the whole body.
The reason why Balrog brought Shintaro on this inspection was to listen to the opinions of the "Four Heavenly Kings" on adjusting the layout of the village.
Shintaro walked behind the Balrog, keeping half a body distance from Balrog the whole time.
"Shintaro." The Balrog pointed at the open space next to him, and said to the village seniors headed by Shintaro behind him, "What do you think about building a new dojo here?"
As soon as the Balrog's voice fell, Shintaro nodded in agreement:
"I think it's good. The current ashrams in the village are too small, and it is indeed necessary to build a larger and more spacious ashram."
Balrog and Shintaro walked around the village slowly while exchanging opinions on adjusting the layout of the village.
Although it is night now, there are still many ninjas walking around the village, doing what they are doing.
After seeing Balrog and Shintaro, these ninjas immediately saluted and said hello to them like a conditioned reflex.
"Lord Flame Demon, Gui'an!"
"Lord Balrog!"
Every ninja who saw Balrog respectfully knelt down on one knee and saluted Balrog.
And the Balrog kept waving his hands, saying hello to everyone.
After waving to another ninja who saluted him, Balrog sighed abruptly.
"Shintaro"
Shintaro immediately responded, "I'm here."
"Look carefully now, there are really fewer and fewer ninjas in the village."
Balrog's tone was very light.
It was so light that Shintaro could hardly hear what he was saying.
After hearing Balrog's words with a bit of melancholy emotion, Shintaro pursed his lips.
After a moment of silence, Shintaro opened his lips and whispered:
"Lord Balrog, we are now the royal ninjas of the shogunate."
"As long as we seize this precious opportunity and work hard to develop ourselves."
"One day, we will be able to reproduce the grand occasion when Master Taige was still alive 200 years ago in Shiranui."
"I have always believed in this."
Taiko is Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
200 years ago, Shiranui took refuge in Toyotomi Hideyoshi. With the support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Shiranui ushered in its first explosive development and entered an unprecedented heyday.
Although this heyday was only a flash in the pan, that period is undoubtedly the most proud and proud history of all ninjas who are loyal to Shiranui.
Hearing Shintaro's answer, a faint smile appeared on Balrog's face.
"Yeah. You're right, Shintaro."
The thin layer of melancholy that had been covering Balrog's face dissipated a little at this moment.
"Let's go, Shintaro, let's go over there and see!"
Before he finished speaking, the Balrog suddenly raised his hand and covered his chest.
His face turned a strange purple red, and his facial features were twisted together in pain.
The body twisted directly into a ball, leaned forward, and knelt down on the ground.
This sudden change not only frightened Shintaro, but also frightened the surrounding ninjas.
Because Balrog and Shintaro happened to be walking on a road with a lot of people at this time, after Balrog suddenly knelt down in pain, Shintaro and other ninjas around immediately surrounded him.
"Lord Balrog!" As soon as Shintaro supported Balrog, he saw that Balrog's lips turned a strange purple color, and his body convulsed at a frightening frequency.
Shintaro didn't hesitate at all. After supporting Balrog, he immediately shouted to the ninjas around:
"Quick! Take Lord Balrog to treatment!"
"That's how things are." Shintaro said at this time, his voice trembling slightly, "After taking Lord Balrog to heal his wounds, even though he had treated him at all costs, he still couldn't save Lord Balrog."
"" After knowing the whole story, Shuntaro raised his hand and pressed his swollen forehead, "Did you find out how Lord Balrog was poisoned?"
"After Lord Balrog's accident, I immediately sent people to control all the people who were in charge of cooking Balrog's meals today, and began to investigate what kind of food, what kind of drinking water, and what kind of tableware had problems today." Shintaro He replied, "But the results have not been found out yet, and it may take a while."
"Where are those ninjas from Iga?" Shuntaro asked, "Where are those ninjas from Iga now?"
The Balrog was killed suddenly and died of poisoning. Those Iga ninjas who came to visit them suddenly a few days ago and temporarily stayed in their Shiranui, naturally had great suspicion.
Hearing Shuntaro's question, the faces of the ninjas headed by Shintaro sank.
"After Lord Yanmo's accident, I also sent people to find the ninjas in Iga as soon as possible." Shintaro said in a deep voice, "But after my people went to the residence of the ninjas in Iga, they found that people went to the upstairs null."
"The Iga ninjas are gone somewhere."
"And the 8 ninjas who were in charge of monitoring the Iga ninjas were all killed"
Originally, the person in charge of the sect responsible for monitoring the Iga ninjas was Shutaro.
But tonight, Shutaro was sent to assist Shuntaro in capturing the traitorous ninja, so the person in charge of monitoring the group of Iga ninjas was temporarily replaced by another jounin.
But now, the jounin who was temporarily replaced, and those subordinates who were responsible for assisting him in monitoring the Iga ninjas, all turned into cold corpses.
"Does that mean that the Iga ninjas escaped?" Shuntaro felt that his already swollen head became even more swollen.
After the Balrog was poisoned and died, the Iga ninjas suddenly fled. These ninjas in Iga have become the biggest suspects.
"I have sent people to find Iga's ninjas." Shintaro added, "But until now, there is no clue about their whereabouts."
"These bastards from Iga!" A jounin who was sitting next to Shintaro gritted his teeth, "We must find them and tear them into pieces!"
"Finding the Iga ninja, there is no rush." Another jounin said at this time, "Compared to finding the Iga ninja, it is obvious that there is a more important thing waiting for us to do! "
After pausing and clearing his throat, the jōnin said word by word:
"Now that Lord Yanmo has passed away, the hearts of the people in the village are floating."
"In order to stabilize people's hearts, we need someone to stand up now! Successor to the Balrog!"
As soon as the jounin finished his sentence, he turned his head and looked at Shuntaro.
Not just him.
Shintaro, and the other three jounin who were present all cast their eyes on Shuntaro at this time.
"Shuntaro." Shintaro said seriously, "Please ascend to the position of Balrog, and take the name of the 13th generation of Balrog."
Chapter 418 Taifu Fengchi is missing! 【7400 words】
There are 8 people in the room, Shintaro, Shintaro, and 6 Jonin who are in the leadership of Shiranui Ri.
When proposing to select a new Balrog, it is self-evident what Shintaro and 6 of the 4 Jonin put their eyes on Shuntaro.
Shintaro even bluntly said that he wanted Shuntaro to be the 13th generation Meme Balrog.
Only 2 jounin did not look at Shuntaro.
After Shintaro's voice fell, one of the two jounin who didn't look at Shuntaro just now said in a deep voice:
"Although it is true that someone should be promoted to succeed the Balrog."
"But choosing the successor of the Balrog now, wouldn't you be too anxious?"
"It's not in a hurry." A certain ninja replied, "We don't know that fire is not the shogunate. There are not so many troublesome rules for the name of the Balrog."
"The previous Balrog passed away on the same day, and then launched a suitable ninja to take the name of Balrog on the same day. In the history of our Shiranui, this kind of thing has happened many times."
"Well, if you want to elect a new Balrog immediately, then I don't care." The ninja who questioned the rush to elect a new Balrog glanced at Shuntaro, "but I'm sorry , I do not agree to let Shuntaro-sama succeed the Balrog."
"I believe that Master Shintaro is the most suitable candidate to succeed the Balrog."
"I also don't agree to let Shuntaro-sama succeed the Balrog." The other of the two ninjas who didn't look at Shuntaro just now finally expressed his opinion at this time, "but I think it is most suitable to succeed the Balrog." The most important person is none other than Jitaro-sama."
"Speaking of Lord Kyutaro," a certain Jōnin looked around, "Why hasn't Lord Kyutaro returned yet?"
"I have already sent someone to find Master Jitaro." Another jounin said, "Maybe after a while, Master Jitaro will come back."
In order to avoid causing Shuntaro's dissatisfaction, very few people knew that Ji Taro's mission tonight was to go to Yoshihara to kill people.
Many people, including Shuntaro, only know that Jitaro has a mission tonight, but they don't know the specific details of the mission.
"I am the one who is the least suitable to succeed the Balrog." Shintaro shook his head, "I am not good at controlling others, and my popularity and strength are not enough to convince the public."
"Shuntaro is the one with the highest reputation and the most suitable successor to the Balrog."
The jounin who just selected Shintaro to attack the flame demon did not buy what Shintaro said just now.
"Master Shintaro, please don't be humble!"
"Your wisdom, looking at the entire Shiranui, no one can match you."
"We need your wisdom."
"Even if I don't claim the name of Balrog, I can continue to contribute my wisdom to Shiranui." Shintaro said lightly.
"I think Kyutaro-sama is the one who is most suitable to succeed the Balrog." The jōnin who supported Kyutaro just now spoke again, "Master Kyutaro is rough but fine, and among the middle and lower ninjas, extremely Master Taro also has a very high popularity."
Shintaro and others launched a fierce verbal battle over the matter of "who will succeed the 13th Meme Yanma".
Each made their own claim.
The eloquence of the two jounin who each supported Shintaro and Gokutaro was pretty good.
Even though they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, they never gave up and fought hard.
Listening to these people's discussions, Shuntaro felt his head getting more and more swollen.
The series of changes that happened tonight made Shuntaro's brain ache and swollen due to "overload".
Now listening to Shintaro and others' discussion about the name of the Balrog, Shintaro feels his head hurts and swells even more, and he can't even think carefully
"Stop arguing."
Shuntaro said in a calm tone.
Obviously, the volume of this sentence is not loud, and the tone is not very sonorous.
But after Shuntaro said this, Shintaro and others immediately shut their mouths.
Then he turned to look at Shuntaro.
"There's no need to rush to choose a new Balrog."
Shuntaro said without hesitation.
"Too many things happened tonight. I think many of you here must be as confused as I am now."
"In this messy state of mind, nothing can be thought of, nothing can be discussed."
