Chapter 305 Death of the Daimyo

Sasuke's soul is still cultivating, and Kakuzu, Gaara and others, who have just joined the Evil God Cult, have arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of Wind in advance.

I have to say that Gaara and the others still have a strange feeling about Kakuzu.

After all, Kakuzu had just killed their teammates with his own hands a few days ago, and now they had to carry out a mission together, which was indeed a bit difficult to adapt to.

This also led to an obvious gap between Kakuzu and this team.

Of course, Kakuzu didn't care.

His purpose was very simple, just to kill that damn daimyo and then get his own bounty of 100 million taels. His relationship with his teammates was completely out of his consideration.

As for the consequences of killing the daimyo and the turmoil it would cause in the ninja world, that was not something he should consider.

After all, he is no longer a lone ranger, but a thug of the Evil God Sect. If the people of the Kingdom of Wind have any grudges, they should go to the Evil God Sect if they have any grievances.

With this mentality, Kakuzu felt relaxed for a while, and had already begun to figure out what kind of figure his savings could reach after receiving the 100 million tael bounty.

In order not to be exposed in advance, Kakuzu used the transformation technique to transform into Sasuke, and arrived at the capital of the Land of Wind with Gaara.

This is within the Kingdom of Wind, and it is also the largest oasis in the entire desert.

More than half of the nobles of the Kingdom of Wind live here, producing more than 70% of the country's food, and it is an important granary and political center of the Kingdom of Wind.

It's just that only a small part of this food will be delivered to the hands of the Sand Ninja troops.

Apart from the consumption of the capital itself, the most important factor was that the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Wind were not optimistic about the prospects of the war between the Sand Ninjas.

Rather than investing these materials in a war that is bound to fail, it is better to stay in the capital and enjoy themselves.

This is why the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa will agree to this plan.

The nobles who have been in peace for a long time have forgotten the importance of Sunagakure Village. It is time for them to think about it.

The person who came to meet the night attack team was a businessman from the capital.

Under the operation of this businessman, they passed the inspection very smoothly and checked into an ordinary hotel.

After arranging their accommodation, the businessman took out an intelligence scroll containing maps and defense forces, as well as the objective scroll of this mission.

After opening the mission scroll, Gaara and others finally understood the true goal of this mission.

"There are thirteen nobles in total. Your goal is to kill them and, on the last day, attack the castle tower where the daimyo is. But remember, don't hurt the daimyo."

The businessman introduced the task scroll.

"I understand."

Gaara, who was wearing a mask, accepted the scroll, which also meant that the night attack team accepted the mission.

"The mission reward is fifty million taels, plus the rewards from these nobles, right?"

In order to maintain his character, Gaara followed the habit of a bounty hunter and reaffirmed his reward before starting the mission.

Fifty million taels.

This is a very high number.

As for the subsequent bounties, they are calculated separately.

Because these nobles from the Kingdom of Wind have many enemies all over the ninja world, there are bounties on their heads in the underground world.

Prices range from several million to tens of millions of taels.

These bounties will all be collected by the night attack team, and the total price should reach about 150 million taels.

Anyway, it's enough to pay Kakuzu.

"Yes, then I wish you good luck."

The businessman who led the way left here as quickly as possible after confirming the reward.

It was obvious that he didn't want to have anything to do with these guys.

After all, the task they are about to perform next can be said to be the largest serial assassination of nobles in the ninja world since the Warring States Period.

After the merchant left, Gaara flattened the information scroll on the table and began to study the identity information of each noble.

Without exception, these thirteen nobles are all staunch conservatives who do not support war. They just want to protect their own one-third of an acre of land. They are also the largest faction in the capital.

As for the daimyo, the mission only required them to attack the castle tower and scare the daimyo.

But, the request given by the store manager is to kill the daimyo. Whose order will the night attack team follow? This is a simple question.

In addition to the identity information of each noble, there is also the deployment of military forces in the capital.

Over the years, the nobles here have also cultivated many ninjas and samurai from the [Daimyo sect]. Their defensive strength is still a bit high and they need a little attention.

"Let's start tonight."

Gaara made this decision after studying the defense power of these nobles.

"The target tonight is this, the Minister of National Defense, Seiichiro."

As soon as night fell, singing and dancing began in Seiichiro's mansion.

More than a dozen young and beautiful women in dance costumes and heavy makeup danced in the lobby, with water, wine, and food all over the floor.

After drinking and eating, the Minister of Defense, who wielded huge power in the capital, couldn't help but show his bestiality, and had a tumultuous fight with the dancers on the spot.

A minute later, he was helped out by the guards with shaky steps.

This powerful minister was obviously drunk. He staggered and scolded Fang Qiu and said, "Yamada, do you think I was fierce or not? It was a one-on-one fight with seven!"

He had a lot of pride on his face.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get any compliments from his guards, so he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

"What's going on, Yamada, do you want to die?"

He tried to stand up straight and slapped the guard beside him.

The palm flew into the air, but was caught by a strong hand.

Kimimaro used his transformation technique to maintain the appearance of a guard, with no wave in his calm eyes.

"It's you who are going to die, Seiichiro-sama."

Without giving Seiichiro a chance to speak, a sharp bone spur instantly pierced his heart.

The blood that filled the air instantly blocked his trachea and throat. He tried his best to ask for help, but he could only make a gurgling sound, and then fell to the ground feebly.

After completing his mission, Kimimaro quickly removed the disguise of his transformation technique and retreated along the established route.

Unfortunately, he was discovered by Seiichiro's ninjas when he retreated, and a battle broke out as a last resort.

The battle broke out quickly and ended quickly.

Basically, these so-called elite ninjas of nobility are almost at the level of Konoha Chuunin.

Enemies of this level are not a challenge at all to Kimimaro now. Without cooperation, it is just a matter of twos and threes.

After getting rid of the enemies blocking the road, the remaining guards couldn't catch up with him at all, and he was quickly thrown away by him using the complex terrain of the capital and combining transformation techniques, transformation techniques and other ninjutsu.

Soon, Seiichiro's death caused riots throughout the capital.

Even the daimyo was woken up in the middle of the night, and a large number of samurai and ninjas began to conduct carpet-like investigations in the city.

But in the capital at this time, various systems were not perfect at all.

The city is filled with people of unknown origins and purposes who sneak in using false identities.

Therefore, the inventory is quite difficult.

As long as Gaara and others deliberately hide, the other party can't find them at all.

After completing the mission and returning to the hotel, Kimimaro had only one idea for this mission, and that was - simplicity.

It's so simple.

Compared with the previous missions, this mission is not difficult at all!

It even gave him a feeling, could it be that ninjutsu is used to deal with ordinary people?

Unlike ninja fighting, in front of ordinary people, even the simplest and most basic transformation technique is enough to be fatal.

And with Kimimaro's experience, Gaara became more and more bold when making plans.

Three days later, the second killing officially occurred.

This time the assassination was even more heart-rending.

Gaara, Kimimaro, and Haku attacked in three directions, killing the three nobles on the target list who lived on the east side of the capital almost at the same time.

Immediately, when the city guards mobilized a large-scale search, a huge explosion occurred on the west side of the capital.

The detonating symbols posted in advance in the mansions of five nobles were detonated at the same time, causing four deaths and one injury.

The nobleman who survived the explosion did so by shielding his wife from him before the explosion.

For a time, the entire country was in panic, and all the nobles moved to live around the castle tower, concentrating all guard forces to ensure their safety.

In just one day, seven ministers were assassinated and six died tragically. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?

"Lord Daimyo, I propose to immediately summon the ninjas from Sunagakure Village to protect the capital and arrest those damn killers!" A minister said with red eyes, looking like he hadn't slept for a long time.

Upon seeing this, other ministers also unanimously agreed with this proposal.

This made the name of the Wind Country's daimyo look a little ugly, and he asked with concern:

"But we have just reduced the military expenditure of Sunagakure Village, and now we ask them to come over to help. Can the Kazekage agree?"

Hearing that the daimyo showed signs of relenting, the ministers hurriedly said: "Lord daimyo, the guards of the capital are simply not strong enough to resist those killers!"

"We can increase military spending and make sure Sunagakure Village sends a group of Jonin to capture the killer!"

Among today's nobles, there are also many noble ministers who resist the restoration of military expenditures, but the key is that now that the situation is like this, life is still at stake.

Just spend more on military expenses and so on. At the worst, you can increase this year's taxes by a few percent.

With this idea in mind, the daimyo finally compromised and sent an envoy to Sunagakure Village, hoping that the Kazekage could send an elite Jonin team to support.

However, those killers hiding in the night will not wait for the arrival of their reinforcements.

Outside the castle tower, in the dark night, several figures wearing masks quietly appeared.

"Almost all the nobles and guards of the entire capital are concentrated here. There are five jounin, thirty chunin, and hundreds of genin."

Gaara observed the defense line of the castle tower and reported the data provided by Sunagakure Village.

Due to excessive fear, basically all the powerful nobles in the capital gathered here together in order to prevent further assassinations.

This undoubtedly made the task of the night attack team more difficult.

"Is the Daimyo here too?"

Kakuzu asked slowly.

Gaara nodded: "Yes."

"That's good, we can catch them all in one go."

Kakuzu's tone was full of confidence. Obviously, the defensive power of several Jonin was nothing to him.

"When does it start, kid?"

Kakuzu glanced at Gaara and asked.

Gaara didn't care about Kakuzu's title, but said calmly: "Kakuzu-senpai will attack first later. I, Shiro, and Kimimaro will block the rest of the troops. Kakuzu-senpai only needs to rush to the inside. Just behead the daimyo."

Kakuzu was quite satisfied with this simple and crude plan. He could already see that 100 million taels of silver were waving to him.

So, after all the noble ministers returned to their temporary residences, the dazzling fire suddenly lit up the entire night sky.

"Composite Ninjutsu·Fire Wind and Waves!"

Kakuzu found another wind-type heart on the road.

At this time, he directly used the fire attribute mask and the wind attribute mask to perform a compound ninjutsu, creating a terrifying sea of ​​​​fire, which directly smashed the outer defense of the castle tower!

Countless explosions sounded like the end of the world. Although the ninjas continued to use earth escape and water escape ninjutsu to resist, it was still to no avail under Kakuzu's huge offensive.

The first line of defense was quickly destroyed.

A black figure suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​fire.

As the bone blade slashed, the flames shattered, and Kimimaro, who was covered in bone spurs, charged into the crowd.

"Corpse Vein·Willow Dance!"

His body was like a willow branch dancing in the wind, with blood flowers blooming from the dense bone spurs.

At the same time, Gaara and Shiro quickly rushed in.

"Ice Escape·Ice Mist!"

The turbulent mist spurts out, and the guards shrouded in it will be covered with a layer of frost in a short time. In severe cases, they may be directly frozen to death!

Gaara's attacks are much more intuitive. He condenses a large number of iron sand bullets and shoots at the enemies like a machine gun, knocking down a group of people in an instant.

Kakuzu, on the other hand, relied on his terrifying physical strength to directly push through the crowd and head straight into the castle tower.

"Don't even think about getting close to the Daimyo-sama!"

A jounin who was entrusted with an important task by the daimyo appeared in front of Kakuzu and immediately used the earth release ninjutsu.

"Earth Release·Earth Thorn!"

Sharp rocks emerged from the ground and stabbed Kakuzu.

The latter did not dodge at all and allowed these earth thorns to prick his body, but was unharmed.

"Don't stop me from making money."

Kakuzu waved his fist, and countless black tentacles connected his fist, hitting the opponent so hard that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person flew backwards.

Gaara was confused by this scene.

Isn't it said that he has the strength of a Jonin? Why was it sent so quickly?

No matter how you say it, Jiao is like a killing god, and he is unstoppable all the way.

The other guards were stopped by Gaara and others.

"Magnetic Escape·Sand Waterfall Burial!"

Countless black iron sand spurted out from Gaara's feet in all directions, smashing the house with terrifying power, swallowing up all the surrounding guards, and then completely crushing them with terrifying power!

Gaara's massive ninjutsu killed hundreds of people in an instant and stunned the entire guard.

Especially some of the samurai inside, under the influence of magnetic escape, they couldn't even control their samurai swords, let alone resist, and they turned into flesh under the friction of iron sand.

Under such terrible pressure, many guards naturally chose to flee.

On the other side, Kakuzu released four masked monsters with different attributes and launched a crazy attack on the castle tower.

After getting rid of several Jonin, he successfully used a fire attack to blow open the palace door and met the legendary supreme Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

"Don't kill me! I'll give you whatever money you want!"

"It's okay to become a noble. If not, it's Kazekage! I'll let you be Kazekage!"

The moment he saw Kakuzu, the daimyo was frightened and promised all kinds of things in a panic.

Kakuzu was not moved at all by this.

Although he likes good money, he has the ethics of being a bounty hunter.

Now that he has accepted the task of killing the daimyo, he will not waver.

As he walked towards the daimyo step by step, he killed several samurai who refused to give up, and finally grasped the daimyo's neck with his palm and lifted him up.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Kakuzu looked back and saw that it was a ninja wearing a Sunagakure forehead protector.

The person who came was none other than one of the leaders who planned this incident, the jounin squad leader of Sunagakure Village, Ma Ji.

In order to protect the safety of the daimyo, he arrived here long before the night attack team launched the attack.

However, at this time, Markie thought this was a play put on by the night attack team to cooperate with him.

After all, only by letting the daimyo fall into a life-and-death crisis can he more clearly feel the importance of Sunagakure Village.

The next step is the drama of his own magic weapon descending from the sky and personally rescuing the daimyo.

Without any hesitation, Maki held the kunai and stabbed Kakuzu on the shoulder.

In his vision, the enemy should let go of the Daimyo, allowing him to successfully save him.

But surprisingly, the moment he approached, the other party kicked him away.

Then, with lightning speed, he easily broke the neck of the Lord of the Wind Country!

One of the most powerful nobles in the ninja world died easily in the hands of a ninja in a way that no one expected.

The Maquis were dumbfounded.

Only after the daimyo's body fell to the ground helplessly did he force himself to recognize this reality.

"Why, your mission is only to kill those nobles, why do you want to attack the daimyo?"

Maki asked incomprehensibly, clenching the kunai tightly in his palms. He could almost predict what kind of huge turmoil the Kingdom of Wind would experience next.

What a famous name!

Since the Warring States Period, there has never been a daimyo killed in the ninja world!

Kakuzu looked at Maki and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sir, you seem to have made a mistake."

He slowly bagged the daimyo's body, and then said: "The mission of killing the nobles and intimidating the daimyo is over. Now my mission is to kill the daimyo."
