"He said he sensed a few ninjas approaching the caravan quietly. He thought they must be some kind of bounty hunter.

"Haiyi is leading those ninjas to deal with...oh, it's over."

The nervousness that had just arisen in Nara Langui was completely wiped out in this short sentence.

"Is this the end? I haven't felt anything yet..."

"Lan Gui, don't overestimate the strength of those bounty hunters."

Kano Nara switched back to the relaxed and leisurely old man posture.

"Konoha is the ninja village with the strongest overall strength in the ninja world! No one can deny this.

"There may be some wandering ninjas with outstanding strength among the bounty hunters, but their average strength level may not be as good as our ninja school students in Konoha."

Nara Langui silently listened to the patriarch's earnest teachings.

As a very experienced elite ninja.

Nara Kano's understanding of the "Great Secret of the Ninja World" may not be as good as Nara's.

But when it comes to the overall understanding of the ninja world, none of the ten Nara Raki can compare with the clan leader!

"If nothing else happens, we should be able to arrive in Kyoto tomorrow morning."

Nara Kano looked up at the sky and estimated the travel time in his mind.

"At that time, we will go to the Daming Mansion together to meet the Daming."

"Daimyo..."

Nara Langui thought about the question of "who goes up and who goes down" when he was in the Hokage's office.

"Clan leader, will the daimyo accept our Konoha request?"

"Yes."

Nara Kano said with great certainty.

"Konoha and the Country of Fire are one. The Daimyo is the supreme leader of the Country of Fire. He will not hinder our Konoha on key issues such as war."

"Then I have another question."

Nara Langui asked.

"Between the Hokage and the Daimyo, who has a higher status, well, or rather, who has a higher say?"

"The right to speak? That's a good word."

Nara Shikano smiled and nodded.

"On this issue, all I can say is:

“When we agree, we will listen to the big names;

"When we disagree, we listen to the Hokage."

Is this some kind of family status battle?

Nara Langui felt speechless.

But Nara Kano's answer did not exceed his expectations.

Never mind the great advantages that the great names of the Land of Fire have in terms of identity, status, reputation, funds, etc.

The power of Konoha can always press the daimyo to the ground and rub him!

"Now that we've brought this topic up, let's talk about the first special reward I mentioned before.

"Lan Gui, do you know the organization 'The Twelve Guardians of Ninja'?"

"The Twelve Guardian Ninjas", the original ninja organization.

The manga didn't touch on it much, but the anime did create a scene about "the internal division and confrontation among the twelve guardian ninjas".
