------------------
With the fall of the Hoshino family, news of Hoshino Taiga's impending execution the next day, spread, causing turmoil among various families and factions on Kadan Island.
"What? Are you saying the Hoshino family will be executed tomorrow?"
"What's going on? Didn't that lord just arrive, and he reportedly brought only a dozen samurais with him? How did he deal with the Hoshino family so quickly?"
However, the more explosive news was about the Kaguya clan.
"All four Kaguya clan ninjas died here, and there's even an elite-Jonin. Kadan Island is in trouble."
The leaders of various factions on Kadan Island were anxiously holed up in their hideouts. While there was a treaty in the ninja world preventing ninjas from actively harming ordinary people, the fact that four Kaguya clan ninjas, including an elite jonin, died at the hands of the new lord raised concerns.
Despite resentment, no one dared to confront the initiator of these events, the newly appointed lord, Shimizu Akihiro.
There were also spies from powerful factions reporting the events, spreading various details about what was happening on Kadan Island.
This news not only caused unrest on Kadan Island but also quickly reached the Kaguya clan. Kaguya Taku, the clan leader, was furious during the family meeting.
"What's going on? Keita was an elite jonin. How did he die there? Can someone tell me what happened?"
The Kaguya clan leader, Kaguya Taku, was in the family meeting hall, glaring at the people below. The gaze finally fell on the clan's shinobi from the intelligence department.
"According to the information from Kadan Island, Keita and the others died at the hands of a samurai."
The people below were pressed by Kaguya Taku's gaze, not daring to lift their heads. Silence filled the room as they witnessed Kaguya Taku on the verge of exploding. After a moment of hesitation, someone from the intelligence department spoke up.
Hearing the report, someone in the room couldn't help but chuckle, but after a stern look from Kaguya Taku, the laughter quickly subsided. "What exactly happened?"
Kaguya Taku found it almost amusing himself. Four ninjas, including an elite jonin, killed by a samurai—it was as absurd as a rabbit defeating a fierce wolf.
Nevertheless, being the leader of the Kaguya clan and discussing the death of a high ranking ninja required a serious approach. In these times with war approaching, any ninja was a valuable resource to the clan.
"Regardless of who killed Keita, send the Blood Bone squad. Bring the murderer here, dead or alive. Also, deal with those who have been challenging the clan's authority lately. Make sure it's done properly."
The Blood Bone squad was the elite assassination force of the Kaguya clan, consisting of twelve members, all elite jonin. Keita was one of them, and this time, the entire squad was mobilized, indicating that the clan leader was ready for a significant confrontation.
...
As evening approached, Shimizu Akihiro stood with Kitano Ichiro and Vergo in the open space outside the lord's mansion. "Your Highness, it's getting late. You've had a tiring day. Rest early."
Behind Shimizu Akihiro, Kitano Ichiro was still somewhat excited. He didn't know if Akihiro was tired, but he was definitely stimulated today. The person next to him, who defeated a legendary jonin without relying on chakra, seemed so ordinary yet extraordinary at the same time. How could Kitano Ichiro not be excited?
Samurai valued strength, and chakra was an external force to them. If possible, they wished their own strength could match that of the ninjas. However, no one had achieved it in years. At most, they could control chakra for use, just to experience the destructive power of ninjas.
Ignoring Kitano Ichiro, Shimizu Akihiro continued to survey the open space ahead, as if selecting something.
Due to the unique location, there were no residences around the open space, not even constructed buildings. The lord's mansion seemed completely isolated.
However, it suited Shimizu Akihiro's intentions perfectly.
[Ding! The current location is suitable for constructing the Naval Base. Would you like to proceed with construction?]
The mechanical voice echoed in Shimizu Akihiro's mind. Simultaneously, a faint green silhouette of a massive fortress appeared on the open space in front of Shimizu Akihiro, visible for him to adjust or reposition easily.
"Construct."
As Shimizu Akihiro made his choice, Kitano Ichiro, following behind, felt a sudden blur before a large, bluish-gray chimney-like structure appeared on the open space. The building exuded a simple, dignified, and imposing aura. He couldn't fathom how this hundred-meter-high chimney could create such pressure.
What surprised him even more was that the Navy personnel seemed completely unsurprised. They continued their tasks diligently.
"Gulp!"
"My lord, what kind of building is this big chimney?"
Kitano Ichiro swallowed nervously, pointing at the building in front of him, cautiously inquiring.
"A chimney? Let's go inside."
Shimizu Akihiro, somewhat surprised that the Navy's standard base building was referred to as a chimney, shook his head without explaining. He uttered a sentence and walked into the building on his own.
"Gulp, Your Highness, what kind of person are you? It seems like everything is already prepared. Are you finally starting your mysterious plan?"
Kitano Ichiro became even more convinced that Shimizu Akihiro has been preparing something and everything is going according to his plan.
