Chapter 576 Killing the Daimyo
Hearing Uchiha Shisui's complaints, Yuki Enji's mouth twitched.
Although the opponent's so-called "Ice Style" is indeed a half-baked fake, not even a bloodline limit.
But the power is really as strong as a jonin. What can a mere chunin like him use to challenge the opponent? The copyright of Ice Style?
Besides, he clearly heard that the work of the maintenance force is easy, and he can show his face in front of the small ninja villages in the ninja world, so he squeezed in to get qualifications. How can he face this kind of "cross-level challenge" right from the start?
'Could I actually be the kind of destiny protagonist mentioned in the book by Mōichido-sensei?!'
While Yuki Enji was daydreaming, the "crackling" sound of cracking in his ears immediately brought him back to reality.
Obviously, his "Ice Prison Hall" was not enough to resist the opponent's offensive for a long time.
But just as he was about to continue to make seals to strengthen his defense, a roar that broke through the wind came faintly from outside the ice prison.
"Typhoon Style: Strong Wind Crack!"
The typhoon collided with the tornado, and the whistling sound was endless.
The thick ice prison was shattered.
However, the strong wind outside suddenly stopped, and the snowflakes gently scattered and fell.
Fūshin was now holding his chest and panting violently.
Uchiha Shisui and Yuki Enji looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they charged towards Kazahana Dotō together.
"Ice Style: Icicle Swallow!"
Three ice spikes shot out quickly, piercing a Yukigakure Ninja who wanted to intercept Uchiha Shisui on the spot.
"Crystal Style: God of War Jutsu!"
Rows of crystals pierced through the soil and pushed another Yukigakure Ninja into the air.
Guren, who arrived in time, backhanded a blade and pierced the forehead of the Yukigakure Ninja who had nowhere to hide.
Uchiha Shisui, who was no longer blocked by the enemy, quickly made seals with both hands and stomped the ground with his feet.
His figure flashed rapidly in the snow like lightning, turning into countless afterimages.
The dazzling sword light streaked through the air, dragging the afterimages behind Uchiha Shisui and collecting them again.
The bright red blood rushed into the sky, and Kazahana Dotō's head rolled weakly on the snow. His eyes were fixed on Uchiha Shisui's back as he sheathed his sword.
"I don't accept it."
"The bandit leader is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!!"
Morino Ibiki, who arrived a step later, picked up Kazahana Dotō's head without hesitation, jumped high into the air, and declared victory to everyone.
"Thank you so much for helping me, you are indeed the young heroes from the Kirigakure Village! If it weren't for you, our Land of Snow would have fallen into the hands of the evil villain Kazahana Dotō!"
"Yes, yes! You saved the people of our Land of Snow!"
In the magnificent palace, the blood-stained ground had not been completely wiped clean.
A dozen noble officials of the Land of Snow were now nodding and bowing to Guren and the others with a flattering look on their faces, showing their gratitude.
They spoke righteously, as if they, the fence-sitters, had not bent over to cater to Kazahana Dotō when he killed the daimyo.
Among them, Yuki Enji, who was from the Yuki Clan, was surrounded by the stars, and the young man who had hardly left the Land of Water could only scratch his head with a silly smile.
Among the Konoha trio on the side, Morino Ibiki curled his lips in disdain and muttered in a low voice.
"The guys from Kirigakure are getting more and more arrogant. We are clearly acting on behalf of the Maintenance Force, and Shisui should be the one who contributed the most. Why do they act as if this is a mission from within Kirigakure?"
Listening to the complaints of his teammates, Gekkō Hayate, who was rubbing his chest to relieve his fatigue, coughed twice and hurriedly spoke to comfort them in a low voice.
"You have understand that the current trade routes of Sea Mist City cover most of the ninja world, and the Sea Mist Merchants' Guild established last year covers all aspects of supplies."
"The geographical location and environment of the Land of Snow make it a country that is extremely dependent on foreign trade imports. With the trade volume of such a small country, the economy of the Land of Snow will be affected if Sea Mist City just moves its fingers."
"Ahem~ How dare they offend a ninja from Kirigakure."
Perhaps because he spoke a little hastily, Gekkō Hayate coughed again.
However, Morino Ibiki had long been accustomed to the sick appearance of his teammates, and continued to complain relentlessly.
"Do you really think these nobles care about people's livelihood? Why do you move your fingers? I think they are doing it for the money that leaked from the fingers of the Sea Mist Merchants?!"
"Shh, shut up!"
Uchiha Shisui, who originally didn't want to join the two teammates' complaints, hurriedly stopped Morino Ibiki's complaints after hearing this.
Although they were born in Konoha, they were not afraid of offending a small country like the Land of Snow.
But this matter had nothing to do with them, a few Chunins, and there was no need to annoy them for no reason.
Besides, Uchiha Shisui himself was not a competitive person. They were all ninjas in the Maintenance Force, although they came from different ninja villages.
However, the Maintenance Force adopted military management as a whole. Everyone ate, lived and trained together. They would see each other every day, so there was no need to care about this face.
Moreover, Uchiha Shisui, who observed more carefully, could see that although the nobles of the Land of Snow were very polite to the three Kirigakure Chunins on the surface, they obviously paid more attention to the Yuki Enji who came from the Yuki Clan.
Of course, this is not because the Chunin named Yuki Enji has a lot of face. These people are more afraid of the young Mizukage behind the Yuki Clan.
The information came from the Uchiha Clan a while ago.
The Mizukage personally went to the small southern country of the land of Bears a month ago, intending to meet with the other daimyo to discuss cooperation.
Who would have thought that at the meeting place, the group of Hoshigakure Village ninjas in the Land of Bears, who didn't know what was wrong, actually took advantage of the cover of the daimyo's guards to attack and kill the Mizukage.
As a result, before these people rushed to the Mizukage, they were killed by him in one blow.
The area of dozens of miles was razed to the ground by the huge iceberg that fell from the sky.
Nearly a hundred ninjas who participated in the attack, hundreds of daimyo guards, and even the daimyo and the officials who followed the daimyo, all died on the spot.
It is said that the iceberg that was inserted upside down in the ground still stands outside the capital of the Land of Bears. Merchants passing by have to be careful to take a detour.
'This is a ninja killing a daimyo! Killing openly! How could the nobles of these small countries not be afraid?'
Uchiha Shisui heard that the Mizukage was only criticized by the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and not even a written statement was issued.
In the ninja world, only the top leaders of the major forces had accurate information circulated, and the rumors were blocked as much as possible.
If Shisui had not been born in the Uchiha clan, he probably would not have known the specific information.
So although he knew that the Yuki Clan was not actually the main family of the Mizukage, it was normal for those nobles who did not understand the situation not to dare to offend them.
