Chapter 533 The sacrificial ceremony begins, betting on the game of family survival! 【Part 2】
"Ahem, quiet, everyone, please calm down first... The four-year sacrificial ceremony of the Hongda Society is about to officially begin!"
Just as Naruto was quietly pondering whether there were any loopholes in his deployment, the man dressed in a priest, walked slowly to the podium with a microphone in front of everyone. Then he looked around and signaled to Moriyoida and the runners of the Mustard tribe with his eyes, and stood at the starting line. As Naruto expected, he cleared his throat and gave him a signal to the start of the game.
"Before this, let me introduce the two major families participating in the festival this year, and the players sent by them... They are runners from the Wasabi clan, Morina Ida, and runners from the Mustard seed clan, Fukusuke, Flying Football Yaya! I hope these two contestants can run satisfactory results! Then this time, the adults who came from the capital to watch this year's sacrificial ceremony are... "
Perhaps because no matter which world is in, officialism is indispensable, the signal that the competition can start immediately in an instant is delayed for more than ten minutes under the crowd of people's performances of "the game starts". The audience, who were originally full of expectations, began to feel dissatisfied and gradually showed a tendency to leave. Only then did they change their mouths without feeling satisfied and say the four words that everyone had been waiting for for a long time.
Well, of course, at the same time, from a certain perspective, he can still be regarded as a little bit of survival...
Otherwise, if he continues to talk like this, Naruto, who has been used to this trick in his previous life, might not say anything. But like the residents around him, his mood gradually became irritable. He even didn't know when he had turned his black ink pupils into a small round fan of the scarlet Sharingan. Will he give this guy a little "small gift" in an impulse...
"So, I announce that the four-year ceremonial ceremony of the Boda Society...now, it officially begins!"
With the declaration that represented the official start of the competition, the moment it spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker. The gate that originally led to the port was slowly opened. Then, when the slowly opened crack of the door just reached the level that could allow one person to pass, the two contestants, as contestants, ran tacitly!
Of course, because the first stop of the two was to go to Naki Island on the other side, it was obviously impossible for them to run straight from the sea for a while, and to complete the feat of crossing the ocean. So the first thing the two had to do was to seize the ships that docked at the port in advance in order to allow runners from both sides to successfully arrive at the island on the other side of the Hongdashe Island, so as to achieve the goal of taking the lead and gaining the advantage of taking the lead!
"Hmm? That's...huhhh, sure enough, it's the same result as I predicted...so..."
However, it is surprising that compared to the flying siege Fukusuke who rushed straight to the ship anchored in the port as he walked along the way. At the first moment, Moriyoida, who stepped out of the square gate, frowned slightly, muttered with words while suddenly turning his head. Then, he ran towards a mountain far away from the town without looking back!
Of course, let’s not mention what reason Morina Ida did this. But when he was responsible for all the hopes of the Wasabi clan, the action he made was undoubtedly at the critical moment when the game officially began, he chose to escape and give up! He gave up the fruit of victory to the mustard seed clan...
This was undoubtedly a bare betrayal for the Wasabi clan, especially Jiro Nagata who had high hopes for Morinata! So much so that after a moment of stunned silence, digesting and accepting the fact that Morinata "escaped at the battle", the members of the Wasabi clan who had no face naturally started to curse in anger.
"Ah...ah? Hey! Ida! Hey!"
"What the hell are you doing! The ship is not there! Can't your eyes see it?!"
"Have you run away... Sure enough, I knew this brat was unreliable!"
"From his previous performance, he should have thought that this would happen long ago?"
"Tsk... I have advised the boss a long time ago. I can't trust that brat too much, let alone let him run this game... Now, is there something wrong?"
"That's it, I..."
"Shut up! Ida is not that kind of person!"
Fortunately, compared to other people who gradually lost their minds by "seeing with their own eyes" and who had high hopes for Morinata, Jiro Nagata obviously believed in his own vision and could not misjudgment. So when the discussions of the people behind him gradually developed towards the scope of being out of control, he shouted loudly and defended Morinata without hesitation.
"Ida is not the one who will make a fuss at such a time! Since he will run in that direction, there must be his reason! So, believe in his choice!"
In words, it is obvious that Jiro Nagata has entrusted 100% trust in Morinata who has only been with him for several years! It is not difficult to understand why Morinata, who originally worshipped his elder brother Morinata, wanted to become a powerful and outstanding ninja like Ibiki, but now he would rather give up his ninja status and stay with Jiro Nagata to serve with him...
Of course, as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried...
In Morinaida's "escape at the last stage", the members of the Wasabi clan's morale plummeted. The Mustard Clan, the mortal enemy of the Wasabi clan, became ecstatic because of this unexpected scene. Then, the faces of each member were like a celebration of the festival, full of jokes and smug smiles.
"It seems that that coward is just like you said, and it is not a threat at all... In this way, even the effort of sinking the ship he was riding from under the water can be saved."
However, during this period, the trio, who was also dressed as a gangster, not only did not show any smiles, but instead looked at each other and quietly moved their bodies, slowly withdrew from the mustard seed clan's camp, and moved through the crowd. Then, as if they had discovered something, in the inconspicuous civilian outfit, behind the man who covered his face tightly with a headscarf, paused and asked respectfully.
"So, what should we do next... Lord Green Green Kui."
With the existence of these words, the identities of these four people were instantly revealed that it was Naruto who had accepted the employment of the Mustard Clan and came to stop the Awakened Clan from winning!
Obviously, from the beginning, I did not fight Moriyo Ida and the Awakened clan to death. The two "vulnerable" children they hired would naturally not show too much hostility to the Green Green Awakened. So by accident, they had never had any contact with Green Green Awakened in the true sense, and did not know what Green Green Awakened's breath was like. Naruto would not be able to sense the slightest malice from Green Green Awakened body in this crowd. No matter how they searched, they could not find the trace of Green Green Awakened, which became a matter of course...
"That's right, but it's better to be safer... After all, the Mustard Seeds tribe gave us a lot of money in order to win this game."
Driven by this thought of underestimating the enemy, although Green Qing Aoi always felt something was wrong with Morina's actions. In addition, it was determined that Morina's behavior might not seem so simple as to escape in the face of battle. But Fukusuke, who was running fast, had already boarded the ship and was about to set sail, so Green Qing Aoi didn't have much time to carefully consider the reasons, and would chase Morina's death to ensure the victory balance of the game, and completely cut the obliquely towards the Mustard Seed clan to these three men.
"I will leave by boat with Fukusuke now. As for that guy Ida, I will leave it to you three to deal with... Remember, try to be cleaner as much as possible and don't leave any handles."
"yes!"
As soon as the words finished, the trio not only showed a trace of embarrassment or hesitation on the sudden task, but instead she looked like a child who had received the gift of her, she showed a satisfied smile. Then she just responded quickly and completely disappeared from the spot.
However, the four-player group whose attention is all focused on the game is obviously ignored...
The two Naruto, who were hired by Jiro-chan, should have never separated and protected Morina Ida's safety at all times, never followed Morina Ida after "escaped at the last minute". Instead, when the trio left, they looked at each other and showed a smile of planning.
"Oh... I can't help it after all, is it showing off my feet..."
"Hmm? Have you found the target? Naruto... Do I want me to do it now and solve them directly?"
"No, wait first. There are so many people here, so it's not a good place to do it... Anyway, the competition has just begun, so I don't have the chance to 'play' with them..."
...
Just as the competition among the Kashiki Clan was successful, with the successful boarding of the Flying Ya Fukusuke, he was on track and proceeding in an orderly manner at the same time...
What was quite dissatisfied with Morino Ida's choice to "escape at the last minute" was obviously not limited to the ordinary people and the Wasabi clan. So when Jironaga finally suppressed the restlessness of the members with the prestige accumulated by his daily life. Before Jironaga could breathe a sigh of relief, a shout with a bit of anger suddenly rang behind Jironaga.
"Jirou Chang! What did you Wasabi clan think? He actually did such a futile farce at this long-standing grand ceremony! And it was in front of all the adults! You...!"
"Sir! This is not a farce!"
However, Jiro Naga, who had already made the choice of trusting Moriyoida, obviously had no extra thoughts to continue listening to the nagging words and accusations of those who came to his back. So at the critical moment, Jiro Naga, who had already identified the identity of the person with the tone of the words that came into his ears, suddenly turned around and looked at the other person without any concession, and retorted without any hesitation.
"What's more, the game has just begun and is far from over... What's the final outcome? Please tell me the end!"
"...Hmph, since you said that, no matter what, you have to win for me, Jiro Chang..."
Fortunately, although Jiro Naga's behavior was a little reckless and impulsive, Jiro Naga, who was usually kind to others, was obviously more popular in this small town of Kaoru Port, compared to the Mustard tribe who bullied the market. So much so that after the two of them stared at each other with big eyes and looked at each other for a while, the retainers who were originally looking fiercely questioning, turned around slightly helplessly. Then they walked towards the senior staff of the Tea Country who came to watch the battle, preparing to calm their emotions as much as possible on behalf of Jiro Naga himself. On the one hand, they continued to say coldly word by word as if they were accusing and questioning, and as if they were deliberately reminding.
"Although I hope that after this game, you are the one who can stay in the town is your wasabi clan... But if you lose, I will not be partial! Be aware of it!"
"Ahhh, that's certainly, Lord Resident!"
Jiro Naga obviously understood the complex situation of his old friend who was worried about his safety but was not afraid to show too partiality to the Wasabi clan due to his duties. So much so that he watched his retainers go away with a hint of gratitude, and calmed the dissatisfaction of the big guys. He stood up straight and responded strongly.
"No matter what, I am a man who can do what he says... If Ida really loses, our Wasabi clan will naturally let his retainers deal with it without complaints!"
"Hmph, this kind of thing can be confused by it if you say it beautifully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiro Naga's heroic declaration made the retainers' originally heavy steps slightly brisk. Then, while he was harshly rebuking, he couldn't help but turn his head a little, and glanced at the direction of Morino Ida's departure from the corner of his eyes. Then he could clench his fists instinctively and murmur and pray to himself.
"...I hope I won't have a chance to deal with your wasabi clan today..."
