Chapter 157 Assassin

Time passed quickly, and the parade soon arrived at the central square of the Fire City. In the central square, there was a huge altar with a tall pile of firewood.

After arriving at the square, the daimyo stepped down from the sedan chair and walked to the altar in the center of the central square, followed closely by a group of priests and priestesses. The daimyo will personally light the sacred fire in the center of the square on behalf of the people, which is the climax of the Fire Emperor Festival.

Others in the parade, including Minato Namikaze, stayed outside the altar, while ordinary people stayed in the outer square. Watching the daimyo walk up to the altar, the people outside the square gradually quieted down and looked at the daimyo on the stage expectantly.

However, among the quiet crowd, there were more than a dozen figures who looked very suspicious. Looking at the daimyo of the Fire Country on the altar, a black-skinned man in gray clothes had a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but his eyes soon became firm.

"Hokage-sama?"

Ryuuyu looked at Minato Namikaze and asked softly. The more important the day, the more vigilant you should be. This is something that the guards need to keep in mind.

Since the parade began, Liu Yu has activated his own sensing ability, alerting to the possible dangers in the crowd. However, the crowd was moving with the parade, so Liu Yu had not found anything unusual before.

But now the people outside have quieted down, and the dozen people still moving in the crowd seem very suspicious, and these people still have strong chakra fluctuations. However, Liu Yu is still worried that they are the guards secretly arranged by the daimyo, so he asked Minato Namikaze softly.

Minato Namikaze did not reply, but his expression became a little more solemn, and he gently gestured to several people. Seeing Minato Namikaze's gesture, Shiranui Xuanjian and the other two also became nervous, because Minato Namikaze's gesture just now meant "prepare for battle"

"Sure enough!"

Seeing Minato Namikaze's gesture, Liu Yu said in his heart. It's really not quiet for a moment! I thought it would be a relatively easy task to escort Minato Namikaze this time, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again.

"Boom------"

On the altar, flames suddenly rose several feet high. After the long prayer of the priest, the daimyo finally threw the torch with the holy fire into the altar.

"Long live"

"Long live"

""

At the moment the holy fire rose, the people below cheered. This is the most important festival of the Fire Country, and it has a special meaning to the people of the Fire Country.

"Swoosh----"

At the moment the crowd cheered, a shuriken tied with a detonating tag was thrown out from the crowd, and the target was directly pointed at the daimyo of the Fire Country in the center of the altar.

"Ding-----"

Minato Namikaze appeared in an instant, and the kunai in his right hand blocked the kunai thrown by the enemy. With a slight force, the kunai tied with the detonating tag was bounced into the air.

"Boom-----"

A huge explosion suddenly sounded in the air, and the originally lively crowd suddenly quieted down.

"Ah"

"Ah"

Soon, the crowd realized what was going on. Various screams rang out in succession. The originally orderly crowd instantly became chaotic. People fled in all directions, trying to avoid the upcoming battle.

The explosion just now was a signal. After receiving the signal, the assassins hidden in the crowd rushed out one after another, aiming directly at the daimyo in the center of the altar.

"Fire escape fireball technique."

"Earth escape earth dragon bomb."

"Thunder escape ground walk."

Various ninjutsu were continuously released by the attackers, which aggravated the chaos of the crowd.

"There are assassins, protect the daimyo."

Looking at the chaotic crowd, a samurai who was suspected to be the leader on the periphery drew out a long sword and shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation. After receiving the order, the samurai took action to form a human wall, trying to block the chaotic crowd out.

A figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd and took out a scroll with his left hand. Holding both sides of the scroll with both hands, he suddenly unfolded the scroll, and countless shurikens and kunai flew out of the unfolded scroll.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh----"

Faced with this sudden attack, many warriors lost their ability to fight, and the originally formed human wall was broken by the enemy.

Seeing the gap opened by the enemy, the warrior leader waved the long sword in his hand and rushed forward. The assassin who had released a large number of hidden weapons before wiped his right hand in the scroll, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

"Ding-----"

In a hurry, the warrior leader blocked the long sword swung by the assassin, but when he looked up at the enemy in front of him, he found that the enemy had a mockery on his mouth.

"Hiss----"

The crystal blue arc flashed on the two long swords that were connected, and the assassin actually directly added the thunder escape to the sword.

"Ah-----"

Suddenly being electrocuted, the warrior leader screamed in pain.

"Swish-----"

Taking advantage of the enemy's paralysis by the lightning escape, the assassin turned sideways, withdrew the long sword in his hand, and then slashed across the chest of the samurai leader at a faster speed.

Blood gushed out from the wound on his chest, and the samurai leader fell to the ground unwillingly. After dealing with the samurai leader, the assassin continued to rush forward and rushed towards the location of the daimyo.

"Swoosh-----"

A long sword was thrown out and shot straight at the rushing assassin. Seeing the long sword coming, the assassin slightly turned his body to try to avoid the attack of the long sword.

Just as the assassin dodged Mikazuki Munechika sideways, with a ripple in the surrounding space, Liu Yu appeared beside Mikazuki Munechika who was thrown out. Liu Yu, who showed up, kicked the assassin's waist and abdomen fiercely.

"Bang!"

Faced with Liu Yu's sudden attack, the assassin had no time to react and endured Liu Yu's kick. After being hit hard, the assassin's whole body flew to one side. However, the assassin quickly reacted and stabbed the long sword in his right hand into the ground to stabilize his body.

The assassin who stabilized his body looked solemnly at Liu Yu, the sudden obstacle, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and rushed up again with the sword. This is the capital of the Fire Country. From the beginning of the action, they never thought of going back alive.

On the other side, about half of the dozen assassins had broken through the temporary defense circle formed by the samurai, and were leading the gray-clothed assassin to kill the Fire Country Daimyo. The guardian ninjas had already surrounded the daimyo when the explosion sounded, ready for battle. Shiranui Genma and the other two stood guard around the royal nobles of the Land of Fire to prevent sneak attacks.

"Swish----"

Before the assassins could move forward, Namikaze Minato appeared in front of them. Looking at the assassins full of murderous intent, Namikaze Minato said coldly: "I will not let you do evil anymore."
