Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 286: The castle tower collapses, Iwagakure takes action!
the other side,
Located in the core of Yunming City, the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder, this luxurious place is protected by towering inner city walls.

The Daimyo's Palace in the Land of Lightning, where the castle tower is located.

This is the tallest and largest building in Japanese castles, and also the most important type. It has the functions of observation and command, and it itself is one of the symbols of ruling power in the feudal era.

The castle tower is located at the highest point in the city and includes a main castle and three subsidiary castles.

now,

A round-faced man wearing the red Iwagakure uniform, a brown vest, and a red Iwagakure cloth forehead protector, with a sturdy figure like a giant bear, was standing on a section of the inner city wall that was littered with corpses, as if waiting for something.

He looked indifferently at the highest main castle tower in front of him, which was being pierced by the red beam and was collapsing.

The white-grey walls and stone walls kept crumbling.
The top watchtower crashed into the lower room, the nanmu trees fell down, the bricks and tiles broke, and the wood chips flew everywhere.
Stirring up a large cloud of dust!
a long time,

When this building, which was most revered by the people of the Land of Thunder, collapsed,

The sound of hurried footsteps continued to be heard in the inner city.

Before the samurai and guardian ninjas responsible for guarding the daimyo's mansion arrived,

The beam of light that pierced through the castle tower and dyed the sky blood red gradually disappeared.

Then,

A man with short red hair and a beard, wearing a burnt purple monk's uniform that revealed his strong red chest, quietly walked out of the ruins of the collapsed castle tower, jumped onto the tall city wall that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and stood next to the tall man.

These two people were the two Iwagakure envoys who came to Yunming City this time.
The third generation Tsuchikage's son, Yellow Earth,
With the training and instruction of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, the powerful ninja Lao Zi!

After entering the city, they settled down at the embassy and created shadow clones. Then, they came here without stopping and acted according to the predetermined plan. They ordered Lao Zi to take action and destroy this venerable building in one fell swoop.

at this time,

Huang Tu turned his head and looked at Lao Zi, who was covered in dust, and asked nervously and seriously:

"How is it, is the name of the Land of Lightning in it?"

"Did you kill that guy?"

Huang Tu seemed calm on the surface, but actually he felt a little guilty. After all, what they were doing was simply treasonous. In the past, the lightest punishment would have been suicide.

Lao Zi immediately shook his head, frowned and said:

"The one in the castle tower is just a stand-in."

"I'm afraid the real Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is just as the intelligence we received earlier said. He moved to another place after the Undead Evil's first assassination attempt failed."

"Now, I'm afraid no one knows where he is hiding."

At this point, Lao Zi couldn't help but snorted and sneered,
"Such a noble person, to whom we could only bow our heads in the past, is now being chased around like a stray dog."

"It's a pity that this old man is so respectful to the one from the Land Country. It's simply..."

"boring!"

After easily killing the group of distinguished people in the castle tower, Lao Zi felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he was dreaming, and even his tone became a little high.

"Be careful with your words!" Huang Tu frowned, glanced at Lao Zi, and said in a deep voice,
"Don't forget our real purpose!"

"This trip is to push the soup ninjas and various parties to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, to light this fire and put some pressure on him. We don't really want to kill him!"

"After all, he can be of great use to us!"

Lao Zi was silent for a while, then he looked up at the castle tower which was already in chaos, and asked:
"So what are you going to do next?" "What's the point of killing a fake? Can such an action really anger that guy? You'd better understand that these people, like the old man, who live in power, will probably not be moved even if their wives and sons die in front of them."

Lao Zi stared at the loess coldly, as if he was pointing to something.
"They are already another kind of creature. They are emotionless, cold-blooded power machines."

Huang Tu shook his head, laughed, and said confidently:
"I said, we're just here to start this fire!"

"Killing the fake daimyo will expose the real daimyo."

"If he doesn't show up and take charge, then he will lose face and his prestige will be greatly reduced. We will also be able to take the initiative in the subsequent five-nation talks."

"If he chooses to show up, the assassinations that follow will eventually force him to make the right choice!"

Hearing these words, Lao Zi was too lazy to think about the twists and turns hidden in these words. He just looked up at Huang Tu's honest face and sighed.
"Huang Tu, you are really living more and more like an old man now."

'This is not a good thing'

Huang Tu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes looked somewhat depressed.

At this moment, he was just like the Dark Lord of Konoha. Since he chose to do such a dirty thing for the village, he would not be able to achieve his dream of becoming the Fourth Tsuchikage.

"Someone has to do this kind of thing."

His eyes dimmed for a moment, and soon Huang Tu perked up and looked at Lao Zi.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is the kid called 'Uchiha Ci' that I asked you to keep an eye on?"

"Capturing this brat and bringing him back to Iwagakure is the most important thing on our trip!"

"It doesn't matter even if all the previous things fail. The secret techniques of the Evil God Cult are of great importance. Whether we can seize the Thunder Kingdom in one battle depends entirely on him!"

Hearing this, Lao Zi took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if he was very disgusted with such a thing.
After a moment of silence,

He opened his mouth and said:

"I've already told that brat how to choose."

"And he is just as you think,"

"I chose to agree!"

"Although everything is done to kill the Sandaime Raikage, Ai! But Huangtu, I will never do such a thing a second time!"

He stared at the loess with a little struggle in his eyes, and then persuaded:
"You try to control love with hatred, it will only backfire!"

"If the line between good and evil cannot be drawn, a greater chain of hatred will eventually be created!"

Hearing this, Huang Tu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"But this is war!"

"Any means, no matter what, even the most despicable actions, as long as it can bring victory,"

"Then it's worth it!"

After a while, seeing that Lao Zi just closed his eyes and seemed to be very disgusted with being associated with him, Huang Tu smiled naively, hiding the depression in his eyes, and laughed:
"Well, now it's our turn!"

"According to the time, we should be here by now and become——"

"The 'hero' who defeated the assassin!"
