"This is the Land of Waves? I hate the humid air here and this lingering disgusting smell!"
As soon as he got off the boat, Hidan, who was cosplaying a certain One-Punch Man, couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
As a small island nation that relied on the sea for a living, it was obvious that the Land of Waves' fishing industry was very developed, so the pier was inevitably filled with an unspeakable smell of dead fish.
This may have long been accustomed to the villagers who lived on the sea for a long time, and it was nothing at all.
But for Shinji and Hidan, who lived on land for many years and rarely saw the sea, it wasn't so friendly.
So Shinji also slightly covered his mouth and nose and said helplessly: "Let's do the task first, get it done earlier, and go back earlier."
This time Hidan didn't refute him, but met everyone who dared to look over with malicious eyes, and the desire for killing that had been suppressed all the way was crazily burning his already limited sanity.
If he wasn't afraid of messing up the mission, he might have already started killing!
"Bear with it a little longer, let's find the contact person first, and then you can indulge to your heart's content."
After searching all the way, they finally found a pattern on the pillar in front of a house, which was a circle with a triangle inscribed inside.
Without a doubt, this was the symbol of the Jashin Sect!
In the Land of Waves, this remote island country, very few people knew about the Jashin Sect. If nothing else, the inside should be a contact point.
Of course, even if this was a trap for the comers, they wouldn't be afraid.
As for the reason, those who understand will understand.
Without knocking on the door, they directly pushed the door open and entered.
There was only a young man in his 20s sitting there dozing off. After being awakened, he immediately shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do!"
Shinji didn't waste any words, directly revealed the Jashin pendant hanging around his neck, and then said: "The world's suffering, the Jashin's eternity."
When the young man saw the pendant and heard what Shinji said, he immediately shuddered.
He hurriedly walked out and said in a low voice: "Are you two... uh, two heroes from the Jashin Sect?"
Shinji nodded, "Take us to see Mira."
"Lord Mira has indeed been waiting for a long time, but... where are the others? Is it just the two of you?" The young man looked hesitant.
Swish!
Suddenly, a sharp kunai was placed on the young man's neck, and then Hidan said impatiently: "Say one more word and I'll kill you!"
"Yes yes yes, I shouldn't have said more, please follow me."
The young man's face was pale, and he begged for mercy repeatedly, afraid that Hidan would shake his hand and cut his neck open.
And at this moment, there was already a light red liquid flowing out of his neck.
Seeing that the other party looked like a coward, Hidan sneered disdainfully, and then took back the kunai.
The young man didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly covered his neck and walked out with his head down, leading the way in front.
He didn't want to stay with this bald man, who looked like he was not easy to mess with, for a moment.
...
"Waste! You're all a bunch of waste!"
Bang!
Smash!
In a magnificent room, a handsome middle-aged man with an imposing manner was roaring with rage at this time, and all kinds of exquisite ornaments and porcelain were scattered on the ground like garbage!
Mira, who looked only in his early forties, but was actually 56 years old, was well maintained, making himself look very young, but he couldn't hide the fact that his body was aging day by day.
And when people got old, they would increasingly miss the past youthful years, and would gradually shift their focus to their families.
Especially the youngest daughter, who he had in his old age, was his favorite, and that kind of family happiness was probably the most happiness in this world.
But everything was destroyed!
The light of the knife, the pool of blood, and the confused eyes of his daughter when she fell... Every time he closed his eyes, these scenes would clearly and repeatedly appear in his mind!
It was as if his poor daughter was questioning him, why hadn't he avenged her yet?!
Yes, revenge!
These days, he had been avenging Gatō at all costs!
Business competition?
No! From the moment his beloved daughter died in front of him, it was already war!
It was just that Gatō seemed to be better at playing tricks.
"Isn't it just money! If Gatō can hire a hundred people, you go hire a thousand people for me! Are you already so stupid that you can't even spend more money than the other party?!"
Mira's angry roars kept coming from the room.
Because he really couldn't understand why he spent so much money but didn't see any effect.
His patience was almost at its limit, he didn't want to see Gatō's smug face anymore, he just wanted Gatō to die!
"Gatō doesn't know what consensus he has reached with those wandering ninjas. Some of the people we hired at a high price always didn't put in any effort, or even suddenly turned against us and stabbed us in the back. This has already led to many people being unwilling to accept the entrusted tasks released by our company. They are all worried that they will die in the hands of 'their own people' first..."
Mira said with a gloomy face: "Have the people sent to Konoha returned?"
"Most of the people were intercepted and killed on the way, and very few people escaped back. And Konoha may not accept our assassination request, at most they will send a few people to protect us for a period of time." The subordinate's face was very ashamed.
Except for the war period, the five major ninja villages strictly prohibited the ninjas under their command from killing ordinary people. After all, there were still more ordinary people in this world.
If they were not restrained, then the ninjas who had absolute power could completely monopolize all the wealth, power, and status in this world, and regard ordinary people as pigs and dogs.
If it really became such a world, then this world would have collapsed long ago.
So if you wanted to spend money to hire ninjas to assassinate an ordinary person, the official ninjas of the general ninja village would not accept such a commission.
Of course, there were exceptions to everything.
For example, when they were short of money, they would secretly earn a sum. As long as they weren't caught on the spot, even if the high-level officials in the village knew about it, they would mostly turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't see it.
For example, some wandering ninjas, rogue ninjas, or bounty ninjas who mixed in the underground black market and exchange offices obviously had no scruples. Killing a few ordinary people was even more effortless for them, and it could even be said to be one of their favorite entrusted tasks.
The task was simple, there was not much risk, and the general return was not low!
Gatō was obviously prepared, while consuming the Mira family's foundation and reputation, and attracting more wandering ninjas and rogue ninjas to his camp, he also sent people to encircle and kill the people sent out by the Mira family for help, wanting to nip all variables in the bud in advance.
According to Gatō's set of combo punches, it was estimated that what awaited the Mira family was not destruction, but it would soon decline.
