Chapter 59: What?! Uchiha Itachi attacked the daimyo? (New book seeking collection!) "Uchiha Itachi?" "That Uchiha Itachi, the one who annihilated his clan?" "Damn, what are you doing here? Are you planning something against the daimyo?" Upon hearing the self-introduction of 'Uchiha Itachi,' the numerous ninjas immediately became tense. Even the daimyo furrowed his brows. Before he laid his hands on the Uchiha clan's assets, he had heard of this name. But isn't Uchiha Itachi the one who annihilated the Uchiha clan? Why would he come here to kill me? But regardless... "Kill him!" The daimyo of the Fire Country furrowed his brows.
He glanced at the expensive carpet on the ground, stained with the blood of the samurai thrown out by Itachi, and said disdainfully, "The price of dirtying my carpet is heavy!" "Yes!" The ninjas responded in unison, then surrounded Shiroyama with a murderous aura. Shiroyama glanced at them. They all had quite good strength, equivalent to Jōnin level. "I remember that the Twelve Guardian Ninjas had disbanded before the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Are these the ninjas recruited by the daimyo?" Shiroyama asked. The 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' were the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the daimyo of the Fire Country. They were the daimyo's private independent direct force. Asuma had also served as a member of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' for a while. However, they disbanded due to internal strife caused by the 'Battle of the Jade.' Unexpectedly, the daimyo had recruited a group of ninjas with decent strength... "Uchiha Itachi, daring to disturb the daimyo, you shall redeem yourself with your life!" The captain of the ninja team's voice was filled with killing intent as he brandished his kunai and attacked. "Attack together! Kill him!" At the same time, the surrounding ninjas and samurai all rushed forward. In response, Shiroyama only gave them a cold glance. Genjutsu: Sharingan! The first ninja captain who charged forward was hit by a genjutsu, becoming dumbfounded. His momentum was quite good, but his strength was lacking. As the other ninjas charged forward, Shiroyama gently extended his hands, gripping the hands that held the kunai, and with a slight force, he made their arms turn around, using their own kunai to stab into their throats. Blood splattered, but it couldn't stain Shiroyama's sleeves. Then Shiroyama didn't let go, grabbing the lifeless body of the ninja and throwing it towards the samurai who were charging with their swords. Boom!
Several samurai were directly knocked down, falling to the ground, and then Shiroyama stepped on them as he walked over. All of this happened in an instant. The guards inside the Tenchūkaku had already fallen! This sudden change shocked even the daimyo, who was originally sitting securely. Cruel! Cold! Yet the movements were full of beauty... Shiroyama calmly stepped over the bodies under his feet and arrived in front of the Jōnin captain who had initially attacked but was immediately caught in his own genjutsu. This was just an ordinary Jōnin, far from being as elite as the ninjas from the Five Great Nations. In front of him, he had no ability to fight back! Shiroyama gently pushed the Jōnin, and the Jōnin fell directly onto a samurai sword on the ground. Pfft. Blood flowed, wetting the ground... "How is this possible? He's a Keian Jōnin!" The daimyo's eyes were blank. "A hero who can take on hundreds alone, a renowned existence in the ninja world... How could he be easily killed?" "Do you think as a daimyo, you can recruit any kind of expert?" Shiroyama sneered. The Twelve Guardian Ninjas had decent strength, but half of them were undercover agents from Konoha, following Konoha's orders. In reality, even these 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' weren't that strong. The strongest, Asuma, was just so-so. And this so-called 'Keian Jōnin' was much weaker than Asuma! But the daimyo found it hard to believe. He had personally witnessed the Keian Jōnin using Wind Style to deal with enemies, the powerful Wind Style directly breaking through the enemy's formation, and then going in for a chaotic massacre. But in the end, he was killed by 'Uchiha Itachi' so easily? "So I really can't understand why someone like you, a waste, would dare to make a move against my Uchiha clan," Shiroyama shook his head and walked slowly. He went straight to the daimyo and lifted the daimyo, who was panicking and trying to escape. "Come, let's discuss first," Shiroyama calmly said, "May I ask, esteemed daimyo, why do you want to attack our Uchiha clan?" "Do you know the heavy price of attacking our Uchiha clan?"
Xia Yansheng's voice was calm, even carrying a hint of respect. But the hidden killing intent in his words surged like waves, one after another, rushing forward.
It felt as if he would strike directly in the next second! "Wait? Uchiha clan?" The daimyo racked his brain, trying hard to seize a chance to survive. "I remember you're not from the Uchiha clan, right?" "Aren't you a traitor?" When he attacked the Uchiha, he had deliberately conducted an investigation. He knew that there were only a few Uchiha left, like a few cats and dogs, before he made his move. Who would have thought that this exterminated clan member, 'Uchiha Itachi,' would actually come knocking on his door! "Yes, I slaughtered the entire clan," Xia Yansheng continued in the cold tone of Uchiha Itachi, calmly saying, "But they were still Uchiha." "Uchiha's belongings are my belongings." "I'm just temporarily staying in Konoha..." "Since you dared to lay hands on my belongings, I assume you must be prepared to die, right?" "We've discussed enough. You can go die now." As he spoke, he casually grabbed a shuriken and threw it towards the daimyo. His movements were neither fast nor slow, but there was no hesitation. An endless killing intent was released at the same time. "Wait!" the daimyo shouted, "If you kill me, you will definitely face retaliation from Konoha!" "I am already a rogue ninja of Konoha," Xia Yansheng said with a light laugh. Damn it! It seemed to be true! "I have money! I can give you money!" The daimyo struggled for survival, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "How much cash do you have? Won't it have to be transferred through a bank?" Xia Yansheng sneered, "I am a rogue ninja, and bank transfers can easily be blocked." "I can give you many of my Fire Country's industries!" "I, Uchiha Itachi, am a rogue ninja. Do you really think I can legitimately own any industries?" Xia Yansheng said disdainfully. The shuriken felt closer and closer to the daimyo. In that instant, the daimyo's life flashed before his eyes... And he reflected on the true meaning of life. That is, being born and staying alive. Stay alive! Stay alive! Stay! Alive!
These three words revolved in the daimyo's mind, growing louder and louder. Finally, before Xia Yansheng's shuriken pierced his skin completely, he found a glimmer of hope. "I can give it to Uchiha!" the daimyo shouted, "Yes! As the daimyo of the Fire Country, I should reward Uchiha for their years of hard work for the Fire Country!" "One hundred billion in cash, mining rights for ten mines, shops on three commercial streets..." "These are the rewards I bestow upon Uchiha!" Upon hearing these words, Xia Yansheng finally smiled. "So that's how it is. Since you have this idea, then you should be a qualified daimyo..." He smiled, "Although I am a rogue ninja, I actually have great respect for daimyo who work for the country and the people." "So, it turns out that a hero like you still has a patriotic heart." The daimyo gasped for breath, tremblingly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping away his cold sweat. "I think I should contact the Hokage and cancel the bounty on this hero." "No, let the bounty remain. After all, no one can claim it," Xia Yansheng said indifferently. "Since you are a daimyo who works for the country and the people, I bid you farewell." "I hope you continue to be a good daimyo who solves problems for the people. Otherwise, one day, I may have to come and have a chat with you about the truth." "The truth?" The daimyo was somewhat confused. But Xia Yansheng smiled and said, "The truth is in my hands." The daimyo subconsciously looked over. Only to see Xia Yansheng holding a blood-stained shuriken in his hand... ... The next day. The daimyo suddenly had a change of heart, feeling that the Uchiha clan, who had served the country and endured hardships, should not have ended up in such a tragic situation. So not only did he withdraw the personnel from the Uchiha mines, but he also rewarded the Uchiha one after another. First, it was a huge amount of cash, followed by the most profitable metal mines, weapon factories, and bustling commercial streets... For a while, everyone was dumbfounded. What's going on? Is the daimyo of the Fire Country really so righteous? Many astute individuals knew the truth of the matter. But they were even more dumbfounded than those people! When the Third Hokage received this news, he was completely stunned. "What? Uchiha Itachi attacked the daimyo of the Fire Country?" "How is that possible!" ...
