Chapter 57: Betrayal on the Surface
The people from Shinobi Organization looked at each other.
Finally, one person broke the silence.
"Who do you think sent them? Aren't they afraid of us at all?"
Someone picked up the remaining Kunai on the ground, looked at him, and said, "It's a very common Kunai. I can't tell where it came from. They are very cautious."
Just as everyone was continuously analyzing which faction Shinobi was from, Yokiji said seriously, "Could it be the Shinobi that Daimyo sent? After all, they don't get along well with Kawakawa Clan. There weren't that many Shinobi ambushing us either. It is obvious that their purpose is not to kill us, but to warn us as we partnered with the Kawakawa Clan.
"However, didn't Daimyo show up during the ceremony? If they wanted to cause trouble, wouldn't it be better to make a move at the ceremony? It would be even more humiliating for Kawakawa Clan." Someone questioned.
Yokiji smiled and said, "Of course, that's because if they make a move at the ceremony, it would be the same as declaring war on Kawakawa Clan. They shouldn't be prepared for that yet."
Many people from Shinobi Organization thought about it and felt what Yokiji said really made sense.
"Could it be that Kawakawa Clan did this himself as they want us to be completely loyal to them?" Someone threw a bold idea.
Nagasawa gave the man a look of approval. That young man was quite sharp as he almost guessed the truth.
Yokiji smiled and said, "It is not impossible, but I think Kawakawa Clan should not be stupid enough to do such a thing. We have partnered with them and even if we do not help them, at least we will not help Daimyo. But if they're really the one behind this so that we mistook it for Daimyo's men, then they certainly wouldn't like the consequences later.
