Chapter 212 Where Is My Son Xinyue?
Perhaps it was because of his confidence in his actions in three days, or perhaps because of his disdain for his elder brother.
In the past few days, the entire country has become unusually quiet.
The residents of the entire capital no longer heard the sounds of weapons clashing and people shouting in the middle of the night, and they did not see the blood-stained floor tiles the next morning. This made these residents a little uncomfortable for a while.
But just when they thought this was a sign that the riots were gradually over and order was returning, little did they know that the real storm was about to come.
"How do you think? Isn't this king's outfit very majestic and suitable for today?"
The second prince, Shui Dufu, put on a bright red armor with the help of his maid. He admired it in the mirror for a long time and was very satisfied.
As a child of a daimyo, he was born with good genes and lived a pampered life since he was a child. Naturally, his appearance was not much different.
It's just a pity that he, who has been trained by women since he was a child, not only does not look heroic at all after putting on this armor, but also shows a trace of femininity, as if wearing a monkey's crown to make people laugh.
"Boss, there hasn't been much movement in the past few days. He probably hasn't been holding back anything good. He is probably thinking of some dirty tricks."
Shui Dufu was quite surprised when he thought about Shui Yayan's calmness these days.
He was waiting for the opportunity to mobilize manpower to attack the castle tower, so no one went out to cause trouble in the past few days.
So what is Shui Yayan waiting for if he is so calm?
Waiting to die?
"Perhaps you are still thinking about the death of the daimyo, and how he ascended to the position of daimyo surrounded by his ministers!"
"I guess he won't even think about it until he dies. Your Highness, please prepare to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron!"
The maid who put on the armor for him took a look around her and made sure that the princess and the female officer were not there, and then she said something to please him.
"Huh?! That makes sense...Okay, great!"
Shui Dufu was very satisfied with this answer. He slowly touched the maid's waist with his hands and said in a frivolous tone: "Your little mouth is really good at talking. After I succeed today, I will reward you on the first night." You! Come to my room tonight and let me see how sweet your little mouth is."
After leaving this big flag, Shui Dufu straightened his hood with great satisfaction and walked out with a high head, leaving only the maid behind him waiting expectantly for the night that was destined to be fruitless.
——
An hour later, the younger brother of the daimyo Keita Mizu, Prince Miyasuke, came to the house.
"Who are you? Do you know whose mansion this is?"
The housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion shouted in a panic as he saw the men in black who stormed through the door with great force and killed the Prince's guards.
However, he soon noticed the kunai held by the visitor and immediately recognized his occupation.
"Ninja? Where are you ninjas from?"
"This is the residence of the current daimyo's younger brother, Prince Miyasuke. If you just retreat, this matter still needs to be discussed. Otherwise, not only you, but also your relatives will be implicated by you!"
"You must know that the leader of Kirigakure Village is the adopted son of the Daimyo, who is also the nephew of our Prince. If you don't retreat until the ninjas of Kirigakure Village arrive, then don't blame us for being rude!"
After recognizing the occupations of these people, the butler immediately straightened up. As the prince's butler, he naturally didn't like these despicable ninjas, so he shouted directly at the ninjas in front of him.
Hearing this, the leader of the group of men in black did not get angry. Instead, he took a step forward and asked the housekeeper:
"Prince Miyasuke? Is he at home?"
"Prince? Of course he is at home..."
Before the butler could finish speaking, the leading man in black thrust a kunai straight into his chest, his eyes widened, and he fell straight down with an incredulous expression on his face.
"I've already come here, why are I still afraid of Kirigakure Village?"
The black-clothed ninja looked at the fallen butler with a sneer on his face.
Then the black-clothed ninja quickly came to the backyard and neatly killed Prince Miyasuke who was enjoying breakfast.
"Quick, move quickly, we will change to the next target in five minutes! This is the first one, there are three more on the list waiting for us!"
The black-clothed ninja watched his ninjas rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for belongings, and urged while counting the time.
Although Shui Dufu has already given the bounty in advance, why don’t you want the free money to go to waste?
Naturally, this kind of dirty work of cleaning up the royal relatives cannot be done by someone rich in Shuidu. After all, he will become a famous person in the future, and he also needs to be embarrassed.
So this kind of thing falls on the head of this group of black market hired ninjas. Anyway, they use pseudonyms in the black market. After this job, they can change their names and continue their activities.
"But there are only four such good opportunities... I really envy that guy Kakuzu, he took eight of them by himself..."
The leader in black looked at the messy Prince's Mansion in front of him and thought with some dissatisfaction. But then he thought of Kakuzu's terrifying strength, and instantly shuddered and stopped thinking about it.
What happened in the palace of Prince Miyasuke was not an exception. At this moment, all the nobles in the entire capital who were related by blood to the daimyo and had the right to inherit the position of daimyo had their palaces brutally bloodbathed by a group of black-clad ninjas.
Although the houses of these nobles are also protected by ninjas or samurai who have mastered the power of chakra, they are still vulnerable to these black market ninjas hired by the rich in the water city at a huge price.
In particular, one of the guys was covered in black tentacles and had four masks on his back. His strength was even more terrifying. In a short period of time, he single-handedly bloodbathed eight noble mansions. His action efficiency was among the best among other squads. head.
These nobles who have some blood relationship with the daimyo are like this, and the residence of the eldest prince Shui Masahiko is naturally no exception.
In order to ensure that his eldest brother would never pose a threat to him again, the team attacking Shui Yayan was led by Shui Dufu himself.
Of course, in order to avoid leaking the news, he did not appear at the scene, but was waiting for the results in a restaurant not far from the scene.
"Your Highness, we are late. The eldest prince is not at home."
"What?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Shui Dufu's originally deliberately calm expression suddenly broke through and he slapped the table and stood up.
"We tortured some of the servants in the house, and it seems that the eldest prince ran away to the castle tower a few days ago."
In order to prevent Shui Dufu from killing him in a rage, the man quickly told the information he had obtained before.
"Tenshou Tower?"
Shui Dufu turned to look at the tallest building in the city. A complex look flashed across his face, but then a look of madness emerged from his eyes.
"Old man, it seems that you have chosen the eldest brother after all..."
"But if that's the case, why did you give me hope in the first place?"
"In that case, don't blame me..."
Shui Dufu looked at the castle tower in the distance with burning eyes.
——
Three o'clock in the afternoon was originally the busiest time of the day.
However, due to the riots in the past few days, only a few leaves were blowing in the wind on the originally bustling street.
The guards guarding the gate of the castle tower were all dignified and neatly dressed, and they were guarding the surroundings with dedication and dedication.
Well, that's all just on the surface.
As veteran guards guarding the castle tower, these guards naturally have one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. They have long been able to maintain their majesty on the surface while freeing their minds.
"Shinsuke, how long until you are laid off?"
A mosquito-like voice sounded, and one of the guards closed his mouth and asked his companions on the opposite side expressionlessly.
"Two hours, thirty-five minutes and twenty seconds."
Another guard answered in the same manner.
"Damn it, those bastards also said that something might happen in the past few days, so we should be more vigilant... It would be better for those bastards to sit in the room one by one and let the few of us enjoy the breeze outside..."
"Why is there anything going on? This is the castle tower! Who dares to act wild here without being wise?"
Before the guard could finish his words, bursts of noise suddenly came from the originally silent street over there, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards this side.
Boom!
Boom!
At the corner of the street, Shui Dufu, wearing a big red armor, appeared in the sight of the two of them first, followed closely by a group of guards in uniform uniforms, and then a group of people who looked like miscellaneous The wandering ninjas of the army.
As the crowd gradually approached, the two people who were fishing changed from their previous behavior. They took the lead and sounded the warning device without caring about the water in front of them.
clang!
clang!
As the warning device sounded, a large number of guards emerged from the castle tower, standing on the tower with sharp knives in hand, confronting Shui Dufu and others.
"Huh? This sound..."
The moment Shui Jingtai, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the sound, his whole body seemed to be poured with cold water, and he sat up with excitement.
He knows that this warning sound will not appear under normal circumstances, and in this special period, the appearance of this sound means...
With the support of the maids, Sui Keita arrived at the outer edge of the top floor of the castle tower. As expected, he saw Sui Dofu and others who were confronting the guards.
"The traitor...what does he want to do!"
When Shui Jingtai saw this scene, his blood surged in his chest under the violent emotional fluctuations, and he spit out a large stream of black blood with a loud sound.
Shui Dufu, who was standing at the door, naturally didn't know that his father was watching him from the top of the castle tower. He even felt angry and blood boiling because of this, and suffered another heavy blow.
But with Shui Dufu's temperament, maybe even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously. After all, the purpose of his coming this time was to see his father off. If his wish could be fulfilled at this time, he might be even happier.
"Your Highness, stop!"
"No one is allowed to enter the castle tower without permission from the daimyo!"
Ninjas from the Yanagisawa clan came forward to try to stop Mizutomi's actions.
As for the Yanagisawa clan's obstruction, Shui Dufu's reaction was very simple.
With a wave of his hand, the guards and ninjas behind him rushed forward past him. Under the temptation of the bounty and the prospect, they risked their lives to attack the door.
"mob!"
Seeing Shui Dufu's actions, the Yanagisawa ninja immediately gave up his unrealistic thoughts and began to arrange people to resist the attacks of the people below.
Naturally, the Yanagisawa clan does not only know this "life link". Having lived in the Kingdom of Water for decades, it is natural that they have mastered the water escape ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Following the Yanagisawa ninja's seal, a huge water dragon rose from the pond on one side. With its scarlet eyes open, it roared and charged at the group of guards outside the gate.
In the ninja world, the gap between ordinary people and ninjas, especially high-level ninjas, is insurmountable.
Under the power of this B-level ninjutsu, the guards who were still aggressive before were immediately beaten and fled away, without even touching the door, they retreated directly.
Seeing the ninjas on the daimyo's side taking the field, the ninjas on Suidufu's side who had taken the money were naturally not to be outdone and also made moves to join the battlefield.
"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"
A huge fireball suddenly appeared and rushed towards the gate. However, it soon encountered a solid wall of water. With a puff, violently steaming water vapor suddenly appeared at the gate.
Under the cover of water vapor, these ninjas concentrated chakra on the soles of their feet, easily dodged the arrows fired by the castle guards, and climbed directly onto the city wall by stepping on the wall.
But what awaited them were the ninjutsu and shurikens that the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan had prepared long ago.
"Fire Release: Big Fire Ball Technique!"
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
"Thunder Release·Exploding Thunder!"
…
On the wall, abnormal scenes such as wind, water, thunder, and fire appeared one after another, making the place look like a real-life location in a special effects blockbuster.
But it is a pity that although the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan were easily defeated by Ghost Light Crescent, they are still better than the wandering and black market hired ninjas outside.
After a moment of melee, all the wandering ninjas who climbed onto the city wall were wiped out by the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan.
"Where's Ghost Light Crescent Moon? Didn't I say that he would contain the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan?"
When Shui Dufu saw this scene in front of him, he no longer looked as calm as before and let out a helpless roar.
"The previous contract was to eliminate those nobles, but if you are willing to increase the money, I might be able to help you solve this urgent need."
Just when Shui Dufu let out an incompetent roar and was about to find Masato Kusaka to contact Ghost Lantern Xinyue, a hoarse voice sounded, and a man in black robe stood up from behind him.
In fact, it stands to reason that in the past, Kakudou wouldn't even look at such bounty missions.
It's just that the news leaked out somehow last year that the pension he had saved for himself was completely stolen by a thief.
That's why he took on tasks crazily this year, trying to restore his savings as soon as possible.
"That nasty little thief, it's best not to let me find you, otherwise..."
Even thinking about it now, Kakuzu's heart is still filled with unspeakable pain.
"As long as you can deal with them, I will give you fifty million taels!"
Shuidufu looked at Kakuzu, recognized this ninja who was quite famous in the black market, and agreed.
After receiving Suidufu's response, Kakuzu nodded with satisfaction and came to the castle tower.
"Here we go again... only one person this time? You really care about food and not about fighting!"
Ninja Yanagisawa looked at Kakuzu below, and he said mockingly, not knowing Kakuzu.
But soon, he paid the price for his actions.
Jiaodu, whose pension was stolen, has fallen into complete madness because of money during this period.
Perhaps in order to perform well in front of the boss and lay the foundation for the next cooperation, on the premise of getting 1.66 Asma bounty, Kakuzu directly used his ultimate move, dividing into five masked black shadow clones, and dealt with Looking at the gate of the castle tower, there is a burst of output.
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
"Wind Escape·Press!"
"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"
The five types of chakra-based ninjutsu complement each other. Although they are not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen's "Five Escapes and Large Continuous Bullets", they are not comparable to Yanagisawa Jonin.
The ninjas on the wall also tried to resist with water walls and earth walls, but they were easily defeated by the five-color ninjutsu.
Against the backdrop of the five colors of red, yellow, blue, green and white, the castle tower and all the nearby guards were swept away.
"Okay...very good! As long as things go well, I will give you another 100 million!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Mizutofu was very wise and directly announced that he would give Kakuzu more money after he won the daimyo position.
In his opinion, this horn is completely comparable to the strength of Ghost Lantern Xinyue.
However, the Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon did not show up at the agreed time, so he really had to be on guard.
"It's a deal!"
As expected, when Kakuzu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
One hundred million taels, even with his strength, would have taken several years to earn in the past.
Now, all he needs to do is to safely ensure that this person obtains the position of daimyo, and he can easily obtain 100 million. This is like pie in the sky for him!
"I promise to take care of anyone who stands in your way."
Kakuzu's eyes suddenly burned with fierce fighting spirit. As long as the money was in place, he would dare to go to Senju Hashirama. Is it possible that there is someone more terrifying than Senju Hashirama here?
Under the leadership of Kakuzu, Mizutomi and his party arrived at the top floor of the castle tower and saw Keita Mizu lying on the hospital bed.
"Son! Do you know what you are doing?"
Shui Jingtai leaned on the back of the bed and asked Shui Dufu sharply.
"What am I doing? Is it weird? I just want to get back what belongs to me."
When Shuidu Fu saw that there was no one else here except Yanagisawa Takamagi, he felt relieved.
Facing his father's inquiry, he stopped pretending and showed his cards directly.
"At the beginning, you spoke ill of my eldest brother in front of me all day long. It was you who told me that you would make me the crown prince when I grow up. It was you who planted the seeds that should not have been planted in my heart. But at this time, you have Ask me what I am here to do?”
Shui Dufu gave Shui Jingtai a mocking look and said, "You're not really obsessed with those movies made by Ghost Light Crescent Moon, are you? I really thought you were a wise king of divine, cultural, and holy martial arts! What a joke!"
When Shui Jingtai heard this, he looked at the disdainful look in the eyes of the son he loved most before. He couldn't help but cough.
"Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. Hand over your eldest brother quickly! This way I can let you stay in your famous position for the rest of your life."
When Shui Dufu saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt his excitement waning. There was always a feeling that things that were hard to come by before were now easily obtained.
"Yayan?...Isn't he at his own house? How could he be here with me?"
Shui Dufu looked at Shui Jingtai's eyes, and it didn't look like he was lying, and he was immediately surprised.
"Where else could he be if he wasn't here at this time? ... But forget it, in that case, let's send you on your way! The result is the same anyway."
After Shui Dufu finished speaking, he waved his right hand. Kakuzu saw this gesture and came directly in front of Shui Keita, ready to kill him.
"Say? Do you think too little of me?"
Yanagisawa Takasaki grabbed Kakuzu's wrist, and with his other hand kunai slashed hard towards his neck.
puff!
The sound of kunai slicing the neck came, but before Yanagisawa Takaomasa could completely show a smile on his face, his eyes were the first to reveal a look of horror.
I saw that Kakuzu, whose neck was cut off by the roots, was not only not dead, but his head was supported by the black tentacles that kept popping up from his neck. He slowly turned his head to look at Yanagisawa Takaomasa.
"Who are you?"
"Is it valuable?"
Yanagisawa Takasaki was stunned and speechless by this scene that was beyond Superman, and was immediately stabbed through the heart by Kakuzu's tentacle.
"...It's not worth anything and you still jump out...forget it, just think of it as an extra heart reserve!"
Kakuzu murmured to himself, while using the black tentacles to take Yanagisawa Takasaki's heart out of his chest, and then turned his head again with the support of the black tentacles, holding the bleeding heart and looking at Sui Keita.
"Sa...ah, the troublesome person has disappeared, let us continue."
Even though Shui Jingtai was well-informed, he was still driven crazy by this bloody scene.
In desperation, he couldn't help shouting in horror:
"Where is my son in the new moon?"
