Chapter 67 Pure bloodline When Shiba Kiyokawa began to rush all the way in the sequence of the Red Priest, Hanzo's men who came to carry out the escort commission were still unaware of it. They followed the merchants to this area and stayed in their base every day, closing the door and enjoying the abundant supplies. When he gets drunk, he will laugh out loud and mock the naivety of the Akatsuki organization. "Haha, those idiots from Akatsuki! Do you really think you are the savior? There has always been only one god in the Rain Country, and that is our demigod—Hanzo-sama, the Salamander!" As soon as this person finished speaking, a cold voice came from the door. "Art fire escape ho fireball!" These people only had time to turn their heads and saw that the gate of the stronghold had been blasted open by a blazing fireball! The enemy came very quickly, not giving them any time to be stunned. "who?"
The Hanzo's subordinate closest to the door only had time to let out a cry of surprise before he was cut in two at the shoulder by a long sword that emerged from the flames. The severed body flew out, sizzling in the air and emitting a pungent burnt smell. Crow Feather walked out of the separated flames, his upper body naked, the sword in his hand hanging down, and the blood on the blade had been mostly evaporated by the high temperature before it dripped. He walked in from the main entrance alone, and the pressure he brought to the Rain Ninjas in the room was like a raging storm! "spread!" "Get out first!" "Water Escape·Water Formation Wall" For a while, no one even dared to attack him. The Rain Ninja who was good at water escape only dared to use the water array wall defense at the first moment. But when these Rain Ninjas dispersed and jumped onto the roof to escape, they discovered that more Akatsuki Ninjas were constantly appearing on the surrounding rooftops, alleys, and in all directions! The leading Rain Ninja under Hanzo started to panic. "How dare you disobey us who are following Hanzo?!" However, Yayu ignored him and just raised his left hand silently, then swung it down heavily. "kill!" In an instant, shurikens and thousands of flying needles poured into the courtyard like a rainstorm, mixed with detonating talismans and some people's homemade poison pills. Then, it was uniform again—— "Art fire escape ho fireball!" As the finale, Yayu guarded the gate exit alone and coldly killed the troublemakers who rushed over with a high opinion of themselves. When only the leading Rain Ninja was left, Crow Feather stepped forward, facing the other party's resentful gaze and repeated what the other party had just said. "From now on, there will be only one god of the Rain Country, and that is our captain: Master Shiba Kiyokawa!" The response he got was the roar of a trapped beast.
"Damn it! Water Style: Water——" It’s a pity that this Rain Ninja is not fast enough in forming hand seals and his brain is not flexible enough. He foolishly tried to break through head-on, but ended up being killed by Crow Feather's sword before he could even complete the water escape seal! As the sword was swung, golden-red waves of fire extended out. After one slash, the aroma of barbecue immediately spread. What is the most important thing about being a human being? Crow Feather: The timing! At the same time, similar actions were taking place simultaneously in multiple other locations. Nagato's intelligence agency became more and more proficient in its work and provided precise coordinates, while Shiba Kiyokawa's men led the team to carry out a precise strike! An hour later, Shiba Kiyokawa himself was sitting in a spacious restaurant, enjoying his dinner elegantly, and sitting at the long table in front of him were the shivering merchants from the Rain Country. These people were excitedly talking about this price gouging business and communicating with each other not long ago. "When we return this time, I will return all the money Hanzo-sama owes us, and we will split the remaining money we earned from the civilians 70% to 30%." "Why is it only 70%?" "Idiot! Seven out of ten that belongs to Hanzo-sama, what are you thinking?" “Don’t complain, the sky of this rainy country is always Hanzo-sama. Besides, those idiots in Akatsuki will take the initiative to help civilians. Are we afraid that there will be no more opportunities to make money then? " As a result, they were just in the middle of a heated discussion, eating hot pot and singing songs, when they were suddenly robbed by Akatsuki! Shiba Kiyokawa "invited" them here, and soon after, threw several human heads in front of them. "All the ninjas who escorted you are dead. Not a single one is left." After a pause, waiting for the frightened merchants to finish screaming, Shiba Qinghe continued. "You have two choices now. One is to restore the prices immediately, pay the fines and compensate for the losses as required, and promise not to do anything like this that would harm the Akatsuki organization in the future." "What about the second one?" someone asked timidly. The next moment, a ninja suddenly appeared from the shadows, covered the man's mouth from behind, and stabbed the kunai into his back. Shiba Qinghe smiled and said, "You are indeed quite stupid." Then he swept his gaze coldly, and no one dared to look at him. Everyone was wondering: What happened to Akatsuki? Weren't they a good-for-nothing organization? This is totally different from what has been rumored! Just then, a very servile man came in, rubbing his hands. This person was the tax collector whom Shiba Kiyokawa had recruited when he killed the nobles of the Rain Country not long ago. Although this guy is a scumbag, born in the lower class of the Rain Country but willing to be a lackey of the nobles, he is also a capable person. Shiba Qinghe instructed him, "Take these people down and calculate their fines and compensations. If they can't pay it right away, you will find a way to solve it." The tax collector chuckled and nodded repeatedly. That smile made all the businessmen in the room feel creepy.
They all had a premonition: next thing they would probably have to take out every last penny in their underwear. This is simply worse than killing them! But Shiba Kiyokawa doesn't care about their feelings at all. Then he went to the base and met the returning team members. "Are there any casualties?" he asked. "No, it's easily solved." The leader, Crow Feather, answered seriously. Shiba Kiyokawa breathed a sigh of relief, but did not stop there. "Everyone listen!" His sudden roar drew all attention. "If there are no more commissioned tasks, please hurry up and train, don't waste your time! I will organize a Chunin exam and a Jonin exam in a month, and all those who pass the exam and are promoted will receive a bonus! From now on, the Chunin and Jonin in the organization will receive monthly subsidies, but correspondingly, those who receive the subsidies must always obey the organization's arrangements! Loyalty should be rewarded! All this is for the Rain Country! For a blue and beautiful tomorrow!" At that moment, he was responded by a uniform and enthusiastic shout, "For the Land of Rain! For a blue and beautiful tomorrow!" Then that day, Yahiko finally realized something, hurried back to the base, and asked in a cold voice. "Qinghe! Are you planning to attack Hanzo of the Salamander?!" Considering the recent changes within the Akatsuki organization, even if he was slow-witted, he should have understood who Shiba Kiyokawa's target was. Shiba Kiyokawa looked at him quietly without saying a word. This made Yahiko even more angry. "Qinghe, you are actively provoking a war! Have you forgotten our ideals and our pursuits? You are being too extreme! You will regret it!" Shiba Kiyokawa did not rush to explain. Instead, he suddenly laughed and then replied lightly. "Yahiko, I am the leader now." At that moment, Yahiko stood there in shock. After a while, he slammed the door and left in despair. For a moment, Shiba Qinghe felt relaxed all over, as if someone had given him a stamp of approval. It was confirmed that he was a pure-blooded ninja. (End of this chapter)
