Chapter 75 I Don't Like Black Cats While Masuda Kazuki and Yayu were leading their teams to destroy the Root's temporary base in the Land of Rain, Shiba Kiyokawa was also leading his team to break through. They were unstoppable and cleared all the outposts and camps deployed by the Salamander Hanzo forces on the north-south border! Compared to the Root, the average quality of the Rain Ninjas is much worse, and their resistance is even more ridiculous. Some Rain Ninjas were even unaware of the crisis until the battle broke out. They abandoned the guard posts they were supposed to hold and slipped back to the towns behind them to live a life of debauchery, completely unaware of the impending disaster. It was not until the Akatsuki organization broke through the blockade and entered the city that they woke up from their dream. One by one, they broke through the windows of izakayas and Kabukicho, the entertainment district, and escaped, running wildly among the rooftops of the city. As a result, they were caught up by the Akatsuki organization on the rooftops, on the streets, and in the alleys, and then killed one by one! On this day, amidst the bleak rain, bright red dyed most of the town's streets. Most of the town residents were so frightened by the sudden fighting and slaughter that they closed their doors and dared not go out. But there are also brave ones who are not afraid and watch with great interest. At this moment, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed like a nobleman was standing on the half-open balcony of his house, holding a wine glass, looking down at the killing on the long street below, with an expression of great interest on his face. An old man dressed as a butler came to the balcony and advised: "Young Master, don't look at it. Be careful that the ninjas below may get angry and hurt you." However, the young man in front of him whom he called Master was nonchalant and said fearlessly, "How is it possible? How dare they hurt me? I am a hereditary noble with a great title!
The Ninja World War is their business. No matter how many people they kill and how many people they die, after it's over, they will have to come and accept our commission, right? Ninjas, huh! They are just a group of dogs raised by the nobles of various countries. Why would they dare to bite me? " The butler behind him was so frightened by his words that his palms were sweating. He had heard that this group of ninjas from the Akatsuki organization were extraordinary. They dared to kill nobles in the south! It is said that the grass on the graves of those nobles who returned to China at the beginning of the year is now almost one meter high. But his young master only knows how to drink and have fun, and pretends to be cultured, and doesn't care about the changes in the outside world at all. The housekeeper wanted to remind him, but was afraid that the young master would rebel and say something more dangerous. The window in front of them was only a few dozen meters away from the battlefield on the street below, and most of what the young master said had been heard by the fighting ninjas. Then the self-important young master sneered again and commented condescendingly: "Hehe, it seems that they are doing well. When they beat that old man Hanzo, I will issue them a commission to find a cat. Just say that my cat is lost. The level of the task is up to them to decide. The reward... I will give them one million." The housekeeper asked in confusion: "But your cat is not lost, young master." The young master turned his head and said, "Are you stupid? If it wasn't lost, wouldn't you find time to release it yourself?" In the original work, the Genin from the major ninja villages always have endless D-level missions to take on, either finding cats or dogs, and it seems that part of the truth has been revealed here. Just as the young master was feeling proud of his superior intelligence, someone broke into the compound where they lived below, and the servants and guards began to shout and question. "who?" "This is a private residence. Why did you come in? Get out now!" "You have no right to be here!" However, Shiba Kiyokawa and his group, who had climbed over the wall, paid no attention to the noisy noises. Shiba Kiyokawa just gave them a look, and Kakuzu and a tax officer who was accompanying him immediately pushed through the human wall in front of them, entered the yard, and began to walk around and evaluate. The tax collector was the one who had previously served the nobles and later decisively surrendered when Iwagakure Kari died.
A few minutes later, he came back first and reported to Shiba Kiyokawa respectfully, "After a rough look, the assets of this courtyard are about 500 million." Then, just a few seconds later, Kakuzu came back and said the same number, "After a rough inspection, the assets here are about 450 million to 530 million." The two people's assessment results are surprisingly similar. Then the two men looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks flashing in their eyes like gold coins colliding. I have confirmed through eye contact that these are people who will not lie about money! At this time, the owner of the yard, the pretentious young master, also came to the front yard with his housekeeper. The young master had a frighteningly ugly face, and wanted to ask questions as soon as he came, but he never expected that Shiba Qinghe spoke first. "You have 500 million in wealth in this yard alone, but you only plan to give us 1 million?" The butler behind him was so frightened that his legs almost went limp. But there is no way to stop my young master from committing suicide. He just shouted, "Ha! Did you hear everything? So what! I just want to ask you to find a cat. How much reward do you want?" Shiba Qinghe still looked calm and composed. He was silent for a moment before he asked slowly, "What does your cat look like?" It was as if he really cared about the other party's request to find the cat. The young master sneered complacently, thinking that the ninja in front of him had surrendered. He immediately raised his chin, looked like he wanted to look down on him, and spoke arrogantly. "My cat is very valuable. It is purebred, with black fur and patterns on its face." But before he could finish, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly drew his sword without warning and beheaded him with one stroke! "Ahhh!" This sudden change of being able to communicate normally one second and then suddenly drawing a knife to kill someone the next second scared all the servants in the yard. For a moment, the screams almost pierced through the rain curtain. However, after killing the man, Shiba Qinghe still had a calm expression and only said lightly, "But I don't like black cats." Behind him, Xiao Yuzheng stood up, crossed his arms, and nodded in agreement. I don't think there is anything wrong with my owner's behavior, which is like "I don't eat beef". The housekeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to his knees in the rain with a plop. He asked in a hoarse voice: "How could you...how could you do this? He is...his grandfather was a nobleman who was personally canonized by the daimyo forty years ago!" Hearing this, Shiba Qinghe's only reaction was, "Did you all hear it? This is a three-generation inheritance. Find the other people with this surname within three generations, and leave no one alive. Hurry up, we are in a hurry." In the rain, the old butler gulped twice, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Then Shiba Kiyokawa looked at the few people in the corner of the yard who were not screaming, and waved, motioning for the person to come over. "I met you before when I first went to the capital of the Rain Country. You should be the one taking care of this family's business, right?" "Yes..." the man answered cautiously. "Okay, can you read? Can you write and do math?" "Yes, I can do it all."
"Very good. Then write me an industry report after you go back. Give a detailed account of the business run by this family. Write down the current operating status, inventory, cash flow, real estate, and any debts or other problems. If you write it well, you can still manage the business in the future." The man was so frightened that he knelt on the spot, shaking his head and saying, "Sir, no, I am just a servant. I have no status and cannot enter the Chamber of Commerce. I have never even seen the Daimyo." But Shiba Kiyokawa just said lightly, "That's not important." The man continued to ramble, "But I don't have the talent of a ninja, I can't follow you, sir, I'm just a--" Shiba Kiyokawa interrupted for the second time, this time his tone was more serious, but the content of his words remained the same. "I told you, that's not important!" At that moment, the person kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, and looked at Shiba Kiyokawa with eyes that seemed to be sparkling with stars. On the side, the tax collector and Kakuzu looked at each other and felt their pressure increase sharply. Damn it, how come a good ninja organization like you can also shut down this business?
