Even if this spy is just an ordinary person, she is a standard and qualified spy. Hanyu thinks that he shouldn't let the cat out of the bag. However, since she calls Hanyu by his name, is there any hidden meaning in this? Is she trying to reveal something, or...
Are you warning?
That's unlikely. Although Hanyu is not the kind of ninja who stands on the ceiling, his record is still quite impressive.
As expected, the maid continued, "Master Hanyu's achievements in the Shimohara Battle have now spread throughout the ninja world, so it is not difficult to learn your identity."
However, comparing the identity name "Hanyu" with his real voice and appearance is not as simple as eating and drinking.
"The Nidaime Hokage...has been dead for quite some time."
Hanyu looked at the pretty maid with a smile, and then suddenly said something incomprehensible.
No, for a maid who was once a chess piece of the Second Hokage, this was certainly not something inexplicable... Even if the dead still have control over the living, this control will quickly decay.
"Assuming the daimyo's intentions are good, the problem is that Konoha does not have a female ninja of the right age. The daughter of the Uchiha clan leader, or the daughter of the Hyuga clan... Such an identity is already considered a noble lady for a ninja, but it is still not equal to the daimyo's status. So even if the daimyo has such a plan, he can only wait for the Hokage's daughter to be born."
Hanyu said this again. Of course, he was not making a fuss. He knew what the maid was talking about. The only female ninja with the highest status in Konoha and equal to the daimyo was Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first Hokage. But the question was, how old was Tsunade now?
She had told Hanyu before that she was eleven years old, but she was exaggerating her age. Actually, even now she is still under eleven years old.
"Lord Hanyu, you should understand what I am saying... Only in this way can Konoha and the Land of Fire be more closely connected. Then, the ninja village can get the full support of a country at the political and economic levels, and the country can also use the ninja village's powerful military power. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" said the maid.
"That makes sense, but not everyone thinks that killing two birds with one stone is a good thing, like a loner like me who doesn't think about making progress.
As a human being, when faced with some interests, there are naturally things that can be exchanged, but there are also things that will never be exchanged, so it is meaningless for you to say these things to me.
I will just pretend I didn't hear anything about what happened today. If you really have any ideas, you can negotiate with the Third Hokage directly. Don't expect me to pass on the message or mediate."
Hanyu is not the kind of person who can make decisions, so the other party told him these things just to let him pass on the message. If he could convince Hanyu in advance with "righteousness" and let him stand on the side of the daimyo, it would be great... But now it seems that he has failed.
At this point, Hanyu was already signaling the other party to leave.
The other party's suggestion was a reasonable one, so Hanyu would not develop a desire to kill just because of his personal dissatisfaction. However...
"Out of my personal kindness, let me remind you that spies who sit on the wrong side of the fence, or double agents, will not have a good ending in the end."
This is really... a friendly reminder.
Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, the maid could only shake her head and leave.
The trio who eavesdropped on this brief conversation gathered quietly around Hanyu again. At this time, Hanyu continued to say, "Even for the Third Hokage, some things cannot be exchanged. For example, I am exchangeable, but you are not.
Besides, there are some things that the Third Hokage has no right to decide, and Mito-sama is still here."
As he said this, Hanyu had his back to the group, so he couldn't see their or her expressions.
Whether it was attempting to assassinate the Hokage after the war situation calmed down, or attempting to form a marriage alliance with the village after world peace, the Fire Country Daimyo's thoughts never changed from beginning to end. He was still so arrogant and self-righteous, a little too... taking himself too seriously.
A ninja and a kunai, as long as you have these two things, what does the daimyo matter?
No matter how fancy your clothes are, you're still a worthless person.
If the situation is unavoidable, Danzo Shimura would definitely be happy to take over such a mess. Even if the Root is indifferent, there are still the Kage.
As unpleasant things piled up one after another, Hanyu had a more and more bad feeling.
…
On the third day, the Third Hokage's wedding finally began.
Hanyu and others, who served as the bride's guards, started their action at noon that day. They left the small courtyard along with the carriage of the bride in white wedding gown, first circling the streets of Konoha, and then heading to the mansion of the Sarutobi clan.
Although it was not as big as the previous winter festivals, there were still a lot of people cheering for the Hokage's wedding.
Twelve ninjas in uniform were guarding the side of the carriage. As they moved step by step, the name of the organization "Shadow Stream" would spread like wildfire.
From today on, many people will know that a new ninja organization has been established in the village.
When the bride's float arrived at the Sarutobi clan's residence, it meant that Hanyu and his team had successfully completed their mission. Naturally, they would not leave directly, but would stay at the wedding venue, half to attend the wedding and half to help maintain order.
Hanyu's eyes wandered around the Third Hokage, and soon he discovered a new situation... Those surrounding the Hokage were not Uchiha or Hyuga, and there were not even ninjas from the Sarutobi clan, but only ninjas from small ninja clans such as the Inuzuka, Nara, and Akimichi.
Even Hanyu saw Nara Nagisa behind the Hokage.
These... all seem to imply some kind of signal. Obviously, compared to the big ninja sects, the Hokage's attention and trust are beginning to shift towards the small ninja sects that were previously less well-known.
Maybe because of some bad things that happened before, Hanyu always had a feeling that something would happen today. Just when he was about to tell the three little ones to stay with him for a while, he turned around and found that the three of them had disappeared and he didn't know where they were.
The venue for the Third Hokage's wedding was large, lively, and chaotic.
So Hanyu had no choice but to say to the Shadow ninjas, "Everyone, gather together and try to stay together. I think..."
However, before he could finish his words, a huge explosion sounded in his ears. Then Hanyu subconsciously turned his gaze to the place where the Third Hokage had just stood, only to find that a cloud of smoke had risen there.
Then, a figure rushed out from the smoke, drew an arc in the air, and landed steadily on the ground with both feet.
"Sandaime!"
"Hokage-sama!"
Fortunately, the Third Hokage rushed out immediately. His safety at least ensured that the chaos would not spread disorderly, but... at this time, a kunai was stuck in the shoulder of the Third Hokage, and blood was dripping down his arm.
"I'm fine. Everyone calm down and let the guests evacuate first."
The Third Hokage's voice was still very calm. The sudden assassination did not make him angry - a clear head was necessary anyway.
