Chapitre 59: Chapter 59: Uchiha Itachi attacked the Daimyō?
"Uchiha Itachi?"
"That Uchiha Itachi, the one who annihilated his clan?"
"Damn, what are you doing here? Are you planning something against the Daimyō?"
Upon hearing the self-introduction of 'Uchiha Itachi,' the numerous ninjas immediately became tense. Even the Daimyō 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 of his motives...
'He must die' thought the Daimyō of the Land of Fire while frowning.
He looked at the expensive carpet on the floor, stained with the blood of the samurai thrown by 'Itachi', and said disdainfully: "The price of dirtying my carpet is high. Kill him!"
"Yes!" The ninjas responded in unison, then surrounded 'Itachi' with a murderous aura.
Natsuo 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 Daimyō?" Natsuo asked.
The 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' were the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the Daimyō of the Land of Fire. They were the Daimyō's private independent direct force. Asuma had also served as a member of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' for a while.
However, they were disbanded due to internal conflicts because six Ninja Guardians, led by Kazuma, wanted to overthrow the Hokage and destroy Konohagakure.
Unexpectedly, the Daimyō had recruited a group of ninjas with decent strength.
"Uchiha Itachi, daring to threaten the Daimyō, 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, Natsuo only gave them a cold glance.
[Genjutsu: Sharingan]
The first ninja captain who charged forward was hit by a genjutsu, becoming immobilized. His momentum was quite good, but his strength was lacking.
As the ninjas charged forward, the first ninja to arrive in front of Natsuo was grabbed by the hands holding the kunai, and with a slight force, he swung his arms around, using his own kunai to stab his throat. He then continued to do the same with the rest of the ninjas, while he moved among them as if he were dancing.
Blood splattered everywhere, but it couldn't stain Natsuo's clothes.
When Natsuo finished killing the last ninja, he grabbed his lifeless body and threw him towards the charging samurai with their swords.
[Bam!]
Several samurai were knocked down directly, falling to the ground, and then Natsuo stepped on them as he approached the Daimyō.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The guards inside the Tower had already fallen. This sudden change shocked even the Daimyō, who was originally sitting securely.
Cruel! Cold! Yet the movements were full of beauty.
Natsuo calmly stepped over the bodies under his feet and arrived in front of the Jōnin captain who was the first to attack him but was immediately trapped in his genjutsu.
This was just an ordinary Jōnin, far from being as elite as the ninjas from the Five Great Shinobi Village. In front of him, he had no ability to fight back!
Natsuo gently pushed the Jōnin, and the Jōnin fell directly onto a samurai sword on the ground.
Blood flowed, wetting the ground...
"How is this possible? He's a Jōnin level!" The Daimyō's eyes were red. "A hero who can take on hundreds alone, a renowned existence in the ninja world... How could he be easily killed?"
"Do you think that just because you are the Daimyō, you can recruit any of the true elite ninjas to protect you?" Natsuo scoffed.
The previous Twelve Guardian Ninjas were made up of twelve skilled ninjas from across the Fire Country, but many of them were either part of Konoha or related in some way.
These 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' may have seemed strong during the initial development of the Naruto Series. The strongest, Asuma, only reached Jōnin level. And this Jōnin captain was much weaker than Asuma. So Natsuo, now that he has been strengthened with the system, can kill him so easily. But the Daimyō found it hard to believe that a single person could be so strong.
The Daimyō had personally witnessed the Jōnin captain using the Wind Release to deal with enemies. The powerful Wind Release directly broke the enemy's formation and then launched into 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." Natsuo shook his head and walked slowly.
He went straight to the Daimyō and lifted him by the collar of his robe as he crawled to try to escape in a panic.
"Come, let's discuss first," Natsuo calmly said, "May I ask, esteemed Daimyō, why do you want to attack my Uchiha clan?"
"Do you know the heavy price of attacking my Uchiha clan?" Natsuo's voice was calm, it even seemed like he was speaking to the Daimyō with 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 Daimyō 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 clan, he conducted an investigation.
He knew that there were only a few Uchiha left, a couple of harmless kittens, that's why he dared to be so unscrupulous and made a move on the Uchiha clan's properties.
Who would have thought that the genocidaire, 'Uchiha Itachi', would actually knock on his door!
"Yes, I killed my entire clan." Natsuo continued to say calmly in the cold tone of Uchiha Itachi: "But I'm still an Uchiha."
"The belongings of the Uchiha clan are my belongings."
"My belongings are only temporarily left in Konoha for safekeeping."
"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 kunai and was preparing to kill the Daimyō.
His movements were neither fast nor slow, but there was no hesitation. An endless killing intent was released at the same time.
"Wait!" The Daimyō shouted, "If you kill me, you will definitely face retaliation from Konoha!"
"I am already a rogue ninja of Konoha," Natsuo said with a light laugh.
Damn it! It seemed to be true!
"I have money! I can give you money!" The Daimyō 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?" Natsuo sneered. "I am a rogue ninja, and bank transfers can easily be blocked."
"I can give you many of the industries of the Land of Fire!"
"I, Uchiha Itachi, am a rogue ninja. Do you really think I can legitimately own any industries?" Natsuo said disdainfully.
'Uchiha Itachi' began to bring the kunai closer to the Daimyō's neck. In that instant, the Daimyō's life flashed before his eyes. Then an urge to survive overcame him and only one thought remained in his mind. 'He must survive.' This phrase was repeated over and over again in the Daimyō's mind. Finally, before Natsuo's kunai pierced his skin completely, he found a glimmer of hope.
"I can give it to Uchiha clan!" the Daimyō shouted, "Yes! As the Daimyō of the Land of Fire, I should reward the Uchiha clan for their years of hard work for the Land of Fire!"
"Ten billion in cash, mining rights for ten mines, shops on three commercial streets..."
"These are the rewards I give to the Uchiha clan!"
Hearing these words, Natsuo finally smiled and let the Daimyō go.
"So that's how it is. Since you have this idea, then you should be a qualified Daimyō..." He smiled. "Although I am a rogue ninja, I actually have great respect for Daimyō who work for the country and the people."
"So, it turns out that a hero like you still has a patriotic heart." The Daimyō 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." Natsuo said indifferently. "Since you are a Daimyō who works for the country and the people, I bid you farewell."
"I hope you continue to be a good Daimyō who solves people's problems. Otherwise, one day I will have to chat with you again about the truth of the world."
"The truth?" The Daimyō was somewhat confused.
But Natsuo smiled and said: "The truth is in my hands."
The Daimyō unconsciously looked towards Natsuo's hand. Only to see him holding the kunai stained with a bit of his own blood.
...
The next day.
The Daimyō 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, he not only recalled the personnel who had taken over the mines from the Uchiha clan, but also rewarded the Uchiha clan for their service to the country.
First, it was a huge amount of cash, followed by the most profitable mining rights, some weapons factories and the shops on the bustling commercial streets.
For a while, everyone was dumbfounded. What's going on? Is the Daimyō of the Land of Fire 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 Daimyō of the Land of Fire?"
"How is that possible!"
