Konoha: The Man Who Became the Fourth Hokage

Chapter 313 Saber Changes Owner
The air was whistling, magic power was surging, and Iskandar watched helplessly as a terrifying magic bullet flew over his head and landed in the army behind him.

The next second, he could hear nothing and see nothing. The violent airflow instantly swept across the entire world, setting off an endless sandstorm!

"This is……"

When Islamdar spat out the sand in his mouth and looked at his army with lingering fear, he found that the inherent barrier with the magic bullet as the center had begun to collapse!
The heroic spirits who were lucky enough not to die under the attack of what Lancer called the 'Tailed Beast Ball' were swallowed up by the void.

Even his own Shenwei Wheel is no exception.

With one blow, the king's army collapsed immediately!
As the number of troops rapidly decreased, the king's army, which was supported by Iskandar, gradually disintegrated.

As the desert was replaced by ocean waves, the scorching sun turned into a bright moon, and the hot wind turned into sea breeze, everyone reappeared on the coast.

The huge golden fox landed on all fours on the sea, but its huge body did not even cause a single ripple.

Islamdar looked silently at the golden fox not far away.

"Brother Lancer, is this your most powerful Noble Phantasm?"

Jiu Xing tilted his head when he heard this, with a malicious smile on his face:
"Who knows?"

"What if I have something that can win directly?"

Even though the outcome had already been decided, Jiu Xing still did not reveal any information.

After all, this guy was planning to kill him.

"It looks like I lost this round."

Iskandar helplessly looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox in front of him, which was completely beyond his understanding.

"But even at this moment, the outcome has been decided, and I can only fall on the road ahead!"

Iskandar raised the dagger in his hand, ignored the sea water under his feet, and ran towards Jiu Lama!

At this moment, he not only lost the King's army, but also lost the Divine Wheel. The only thing he could fight with was the dagger at his waist.

The sea water covered his ankles, calves, knees, waist...

He still rushed towards the Nine-Tailed Fox without fear.

Jiu Xing looked at the scene in front of him without any fluctuation in his eyes. He only saw that the huge Nine-Tailed Fox turned out its claws and grabbed the red-haired burly man.

Under that huge palm, Iskandar had no room to escape.

In the palm of the Nine-Tails, Iskandar turned into wisps of magic power and dissipated into the night sky.

"Since this so-called king wants to die on the way to the charge, wouldn't it be better to let him see that even if he tries his best, he can't even touch a corner of our clothes?"

"Why is Jiu Lama doing this?"

Jiu Xing raised an eyebrow. The action just now was not Jiu Xing, but Jiuwei took the initiative to give Iskandar a ride.

"..."

"Jiu Xing, you are a bit too extreme."

Kyuubi felt like an upright good guy at the moment, while Kyuuki was a fun-loving person with a bad taste.

It's hard to imagine that I would identify with such a bad guy.

"But he's the enemy isn't he?"

"And he was the one who tricked me first."

Jiuxing tried to argue with the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails had already released its Tailed Beast Mode, and endless golden magic power was once again condensed in Jiuxing's body.

It was obvious that Kyuubi didn't want to pay any attention to Jiuxing at the moment. The only reason he could lend him power was out of consideration for the adult Jiuxing.

After returning to the Kurama mode, Jiu Xing and Nao stepped steadily on the sea, while a piece of silver-white liquid formed under Kennedy's feet, supporting him in front of him.

"Saber, you are the only one left."

Jiuxing's eyes turned from scarlet to vermilion, and it was obvious that the Nine-Tailed Fox had returned control to Jiuxing.

Saber stood silently opposite Jiu Xing.

Facing this person, it seems that I am no match for him no matter what.

This is true for Berserker, Rider, and even caster is theoretically killed by this Lancer.

"Considering that you attacked me because of Emiya Kiritsugu's Command Seal, I may consider giving you another chance."

"Become my side, or you will have no choice but to withdraw from the Holy Grail War."

Saber took a deep breath and simply looked at Jiu Xing.

"I'm sorry, Emiya Kiritsugu is a guy who goes against me."

"But the chivalry I uphold still prevents me from betraying you."

Seeing that Saber was still adhering to the so-called chivalry, Jiu Xing had a hint of evil smile on his face and pointed his finger behind Saber.

Saber turned her head away in confusion, but this glance made Saber's emerald green eyes widen slightly.

"Emiya... Kiritsugu?"

The man in black fell to the ground in a mess, with dozens of paper cranes of different colors falling on him, making him dare not move rashly.

Not only Emiya Kiritsugu, there was also a woman who was still standing there silently.

"Ellie..."

Beside them were the calm-looking Xun and a red-haired woman whom Saber did not recognize.

"Lancer...Ellie is innocent!"

Saber spoke subconsciously.

"She's participating in the Holy Grail War, isn't she?"

"That woman seems to be Emiya Kiritsugu's wife."

"And Sora is Kennedy's fiancée."

"Emiya Kiritsugu can do something to Sora, why can't I let Kaoru do something to Irisviel?"

Jiu Xing tilted his head and looked at Saber with confusion.

"!!"

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, the bullet fired by Emiya Kiritsugu finally hit his own forehead.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, hand over the Command Seals that belong to Saber, and I can let your wife live."

Jiu Xing walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu step by step, completely ignoring Saber who was standing silently beside him.

As for how Irisviel was found by Kaoru?
When looking for Caster before, Nao opened the Samsara Eye and found Irisviel who was hidden by Emiya Kiritsugu.

Then Jiuxing told Xun through the connection between them and asked her to capture the woman.

Since Emiya Kiritsugu can do it on the first day, why can't Kyuuki do it on the fifteenth?

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was lying on the ground, looked at Jiu Xing in front of him silently, pursed his lips and said nothing.

As the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel would not survive this Holy Grail War. The opponent's conditions seemed ridiculous to him.

But at this moment, I was at the mercy of others and there was no room for Kiritsugu Emiya to refute.

But Emiya Kiritsugu's appearance was something else in the eyes of others.

"Oh?"

"You don't want to hand over Saber even at this point?"

Jiu Xing looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with great interest and was about to chop off this guy's hand, but Irisviel on the other side suddenly spoke:
"Lancer."

"If you release Kiritsugu, Saber will fight for you."

Irisviel looked at Lancer, who was like a ten-year-old child, and spoke with difficulty.

Only by seeing it in person can you feel how strong Lancer is now.

The magic power on the opponent at this moment was almost like a vast ocean that was about to drown Irisviel. In addition, she was originally the Little Holy Grail, and this kind of magic power so close to her almost suffocated her.

Even if none of the other six servants died, one Lancer would be enough to fill the magical power required by the Holy Grail, and even more than enough.

"Ellie..."

Saber stared at Irisviel in disbelief.

Was she sold?
"what?"

"Madam, you don't think you have the qualifications to bargain with me, do you?"

Jiu Xing looked at Irisviel with great interest. He originally wanted to pinch her chin, but he was not tall enough, and with Nao and Kaoru watching, he gave up. "You are in my hands, and so is Emiya Kiritsugu. Saber..."

Jiu Xing looked back at the female knight who was silent on the sea.

"Saber is barely in my hands, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

Jiu Xing's words were so aggressive that Irisviel was speechless for a moment.

She was a person who did not like to fight with others, and at this moment, facing Jiu Xing's words, she couldn't help but take a step back.

After taking a look at the easy-to-bully Irisviel, Jiu Xing turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu who remained silent.

"So, what is your decision?"

Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fists tightly.

Losing Saber and the Command Seals meant the end of his Holy Grail War.

Now that I have lost everything, will Lancer let me go?
Emiya Kiritsugu judges others by his own standards.

will not.

All hidden dangers will be resolved as soon as possible.

Without leaving any trace of danger.

"I need a self-enforced contract."

After a long silence, Emiya Kiritsugu finally spoke.

When you die, everything is gone.

That is, Irisviel is destined to not survive the Holy Grail War, and Saber will disappear after the Holy Grail War ends.

Then only I cannot die.

As long as you live there is hope.

But he didn't trust Lancer, and he needed to leave a way out for himself.

"Okay, what are your conditions?"

Kennedy walked forward, looked at the man lying on the ground in front of him, took out a piece of parchment from his arms and spoke.

A self-enforced contract is one where both magicians swear an oath to never violate the terms of the contract in regards to a certain thing or object.

Otherwise, the magic circuits in the body will go out of control, and there is a risk of disability or death.

"Lancer and Kennedy must use any means to murder, persecute, or indirectly or directly cause damage to Emiya Kiritsugu and his life."

Kennedy's hand, which was about to write, stopped and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

Did the other party abandon his wife?

What a scumbag.

Kennedy, who claimed to be a genius magician, frowned slightly, wrote down Kiritsugu Emiya's conditions, and then wrote down his own conditions.

Emiya Kiritsugu must hand over the Command Seals and Saber to Kennedy at the first moment.

"If it's okay, please sign it."

Kennedy threw the parchment in front of Emiya Kiritsugu with disdain.

Emiya Kiritsugu took a quick look and confirmed that there was no problem. The moment he signed his name, the self-enforced contract came into effect and turned into magic power and disappeared into the night sky.

Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Kaoru put away the dozens of paper cranes that were suppressing Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Saber's Command Seal."

Kiritsugu Emiya stood up and transferred Saber's Command Seal to the back of Kennedy's hand without hesitation.

At this moment, Kennedy is providing magic power to Saber, and Saber has completely joined Lancer's side.

After saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to take Irisviel away without hesitation.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Nao suddenly stood in front of Irisviel and blocked Kiritsugu Emiya!
"What do you want to do?"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned as he looked at Nao in front of him, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Nao took out a book from somewhere, flipped through the papers and said:

"According to records, during the first, second, and third Holy Grail Wars, the Einzbern family was one of the three great families."

"They will provide the Lesser Holy Grail for the Holy Grail War, also known as artificial humans."

"If I remember correctly, this Lady Elly's full name seems to be Irisviel von Einzbern, right?"

Nao's words froze Emiya Kiritsugu in place and silenced Irisviel. Meanwhile, Saber looked at Irisviel in disbelief.

"I see……"

Emiya Kiritsugu spoke with difficulty, then turned and left.

At this moment, Avalon is still in Irisviel's body. If she can stay with Saber forever, then Avalon in her body will continue to function normally.

It would also allow Irisviel to enjoy the few moments she had to move around.

This is the only love he, Emiya Kiritsugu, has left.

"Hey, Saber, now we're a team!"

Jiu Xing turned her head and greeted Saber who had a complicated expression.

"Lancer..."

"Why are you so obsessed with me?"

Saber looked at Jiu Xing in silence.

"Because I feel like Saber and Kaoru get along really well."

"Besides, the Holy Grail War will only last a few days. If we don't hurry up, Kaoru might never see Saber again?"

Saber subconsciously looked at the blonde woman.

So, Lancer wanted his wife to have another friend...

"That's not necessary, if that's the case."

"Even if the conversation was just a few words, I would..."

Saber was about to say something but was interrupted by Jiu Xing.

"Doesn't Saber want the Holy Grail?"

Jiu Xing looked at the female knight in front of her with a teasing look on her face. This sentence only blocked the rest of her words from her mouth...

Cooperating with Lancer would greatly increase the probability of obtaining the Holy Grail.

Saber couldn't refute this.

"I'm not interested in Saber. Kennedy just wants to observe the process of the Holy Grail fulfilling wishes and explore the root cause."

"In this case, if Saber isn't interested, then I can only make a random wish."

"How about you make sure I never have to worry about eating out?"

Listening to Jiu Xing's evil words, Saber subconsciously retorted:
"How can you use the Holy Grail for such a useless thing!"

-

Emiya Kiritsugu was driving quickly on the streets of Fuyuki City.

As someone who has lost his qualifications as a Master, he must escape from this dangerous area as quickly as possible.

As for the Cathedral Church?

Emiya Kiritsugu did not trust them.

Assassin's master is a member of the Holy Church, and was considered by Emiya Kiritsugu to be the most dangerous person before this battle.

I just didn’t expect that…

His journey to the Holy Grail was interrupted by a Lancer who appeared out of nowhere.

The car was speeding along the deserted road, not noticing that several dark shadows had appeared on the roof of the car at some point.
