Konoha: The Man Who Became the Fourth Hokage

Chapter 314 Exit

The Tosaka Family

"teacher."

"Feel sorry."

The man in black church uniform bowed to Tōsaka Tokiomi and apologized.

Because when Iskandar attacked Lancer before, Tohsaka Tokiomi called him and asked him to order the assassin to attack the winner between Lancer and Iskandar after the fight.

But Kirei Mine did not do so.

In fact, he not only rescued Matou Kariya who was defeated by Tōsaka Tokiomi, but also went to find Emiya Kiritsugu.

Toosaka Tokiomi had a headache and sat on the sofa. He rubbed his nose and said helplessly:
"No, Kirei, your decision is correct."

"Lancer didn't have to spend much effort to defeat Iskandar."

"It's really unexpected that the king who almost ruled the world was defeated so easily."

Kotomine Kirei's expression changed slightly. He was not paying attention to the battle between Lancer and Iskandar, so he did not understand the course of the battle.

"So, teacher, what should we do next?"

Now that Rider and Caster have left the stage one after another, Berserker has also left the stage in Toosaka Tokiomi's opinion.

Only Archer Gilgamesh, Assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces, Saber King Arthur, and Lancer Jiuxing are left.

Three servants left the stage one after another overnight.

To Tōsaka Tokiomi, the situation was already clear.

He will fight Kennedy.

Archer vs. Lancer.

Assassin versus Saber.

Judging from the Heroic Spirit class alone, it seems that he is at a disadvantage.

If he wanted to gain the upper hand, he would need to use the assassin to attack Kennedy and see if he could win the battle with one strike.

But this is easier said than done, as Lancer possesses two Noble Phantasms with independent consciousnesses, which is equivalent to fighting with three Heroic Spirits.

Although Hassan the Hundred Faces has nearly a hundred assassins, but...

It's obvious even without you saying anything.

"Kirei, let the assassin lurk in secret and see if he can kill Kennedy."

"Don't move around too much these few days."

Tohsaka Tokiomi stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, and his eyes fell on the slightly yellowed label, and continued:
"Lancer and Saber are now in the same camp. As one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower, Kennedy is more than enough to supply two servants."

From the beginning to the end, Tōsaka Tokiomi never thought of holding Kennedy's fiancée hostage to check and balance Kennedy like Emiya Kiritsugu did.

In other words, Tōsaka Tokiomi and Emiya Kiritsugu are two completely different types of people.

"So, instead of starting with Lancer, Kennedy would rather..."

bang~
A crisp sound was heard in this low-key yet luxurious villa. Toosaka Tokiomi looked at the broken red wine on the ground in a trance. The red wine stained his red suit and was not noticeable.

The broken glass from the wine bottle was scattered everywhere.

A sharp blade gleaming with cold light pierced through his chest.

Blood flowed down the sharp blade and fell into the wine drop by drop.

Toosaka Tokiomi recognized this thing.

The Black Key is a weapon used by clergymen in the Holy Church to eradicate pagans and disrupt social order.

“Oh…oh…you…”

Toosaka Tokiomi looked in disbelief at the black key that had pierced his chest. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at his close disciple in front of him in complete disbelief.

But Black Key's attack was extremely accurate, and he pierced his lungs with just one strike.

At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi was unable to make any sound and could only act like a broken blower.

He didn't understand why Kotomine Kirei, who was usually humble, polite and steady in his work, would do such a thing.

However, Kotomine Kirei was destined to never know the answer to this question.

"Oh, how pitiful."

"Until his death, he never recognized the true face of his disciple's heart."

Golden fluorescence accompanied by extremely pleasant sounds rang out in this villa, which should have been empty.

The golden heroic spirit, dressed in modern clothes and holding a glass of red wine, appeared at the crime scene of the master's murder.

"Isn't this what you expected?"

"Gilgamesh."

Compared to Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei was not as respectful in his words, but instead put himself on the same level as the other person.

But Gilgamesh didn't care about such trivial matters, and stepped forward to look at Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was lying in a pool of blood with his last breath remaining.

"Ho..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi wanted to call for help from Gilgamesh and reached out his hand to his trouser leg, but was kicked away by Gilgamesh.

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei displayed the Command Seal on the back of his hand, which was emitting red light.

"Please tell me."

"Your life depends on my side, and my life depends on your sword."

"Submit to the essence of the Holy Grail, follow its meaning, and follow its principles."

"Obey me."

Kotomine Kirei's dark eyes turned to Gilgamesh in front of him, and the spell to conclude the contract came out of his mouth.

"Then my life rests in your hands."

Following the final command, the Command Seals in Kotomine Kirei’s hand glowed red.

"Accept the oath in the name of Archer."

"Acknowledge you as my Master."

As Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei concluded a contract, dozens of black shadows appeared around them. The assassin, Hassan of a Hundred Faces, watched all this quietly.

-

Because the hotel was bombed by that guy Emiya Kiritsugu, now Jiuxing and his group can only temporarily stay in the magic workshop that Kennedy had set up before.

But Kennedy was really not picky and directly chose a construction site ruin as his magic workshop.

"I thought that with your personality, you would choose a villa or something like that as your magic workshop."

"I didn't expect that they would choose such a remote place."

Jiu Xing looked at the magic workshop in front of him, which could be described as a ruin, with some disdain.

Alice followed the men silently. Now she was almost at the mercy of others.

Emiya Kiritsugu lost the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War. For her.

It no longer matters who obtains the Holy Grail.

"Ellie, are you okay?"

Saber, who was walking in front of her, looked at Irisviel with some concern.

Even though Irisviel had tried to abandon her before, she could understand.

After all, when choosing between a husband and someone you’ve only known for a short time, I believe everyone would choose the husband.

"It's okay, Saber."

Alice shook her head and looked at the beautiful woman in men's clothing in front of her with some apology.

"I'm sorry, Saber..."

"before me……"

Alice pursed her lips, her scarlet eyes not daring to look directly at the person in front of her.

"It's okay, Ellie, everything..."

"It can only be said that things are unpredictable."

Saber shook her head, she did not blame the other party.

There was even a hint of relief in my heart.

Finally, I don't have to stay with that guy Emiya Kiritsugu anymore.

"Because we didn't expect so many more people to come, let's just make do with it tonight."

"Lancer and I won't sleep today. Sora and Miss Kaoru will stay together, and Saber and Miss Nao will stay together."

"And there's another sleeping bag for this lady."

"We'll go find a new place to live tomorrow."

Kennedy couldn't help but feel a headache looking at the people in front of him. At first, he thought there would only be himself and Sora, and at most one Lancer.

I didn't prepare that many sleeping bags.

"Hey, I didn't expect our Mr. Kennedy to be such a gentleman, didn't he?"

Jiu Xing came over with a teasing look on his face. Now the entire team has seven people, which is already a very large scale for the Holy Grail War.

"Lancer, I am from a prestigious family after all, please don't look down on me."

Kennedy couldn't help but feel a headache as he looked at the ten-year-old heroic spirit in front of him.

He has realized how eccentric his Servant was when he was a child.

"Thank you. If possible, can I join Ellie?"

"It's not that I have a problem with Miss Nao, but I'm just worried about Airi."

Saber spoke to Kennedy.

"Okay. Actually, I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with someone I don't know."

Before Kennedy responded, Nao waved her hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

"Thank you, Ms. Nao."

Saber bowed to Nao in thanks.

Late night
Jiu Xing sat on the highest point of the ruined building basking in the moonlight, while Kennedy on the other side fiddled with his magic costume.

A lump of mercury that looks like a slug.

It is said to be called Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

It can automatically attack, defend, search for enemies, and track. It is a perfect magic outfit.

He is preparing for the next battle.

As a master, he doesn't want to always be behind Kyuuki. The next enemy is the head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Tokiomi.

Even if the opponent had the advantage of terrain, Kennedy was quite confident that he could defeat the opponent head-on.

A light sound of footsteps sounded beside Jiuxing, and the girl in black sat down calmly beside Jiuxing.

Looking at Nao who had turned back into a ten-year-old girl, Jiu Xing felt a little distressed.

The magic power consumption was too great, and Nao was almost unable to hold on and was about to materialize.

A Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion almost drained her magic power, and afterwards, she forcibly blocked Saber who was controlled by the Command Spell. Even with the giant Rinnegan, she could not keep up with the speed at which she consumed her magic power.

Even on the way back, she forced herself not to show any abnormality, and carried her heavy body with gritted teeth.

This was also one of the conditions for her to agree to Saber's request without hesitation.

Nao leaned in Jiuxing's arms, without saying a word, just staying there quietly.

Now, saying one more word will consume magic power. She is completely different from the lively appearance when she was just summoned.

"I never thought I'd see you at ten again."

The gentle words rang in Jiuxing's ears, and the hot air exhaled made Jiuxing's ears a little itchy.

"Me too."

Jiu Xing responded by holding Nao's hand.

"You were a little annoying when you were ten years old."

Nao's words made Kyuuki's face fall.

Well, come to think of it, Nao really didn't like the ten-year-old Kyuuki.

I almost beat Jiu Xing up at that time.

"But there's nothing we can do about it..."

Nao rested her head on Kyuuki's shoulder, looking like she would fall asleep at any moment.

"If possible, I'd actually like to see Shiori again."

"After all, when I left, she hadn't married Sheren yet..."

Jiu Xing was silent.

"But never mind. Maybe someone will bring me back to life through the Impure World Reincarnation."

"If I'm lucky enough, maybe I can see my grandson or granddaughter by then?"

"But you are such a fool. You can continue to live."

"But you just want to die, how annoying..."

"Stay alive and take good care of Naruto. Isn't it good for Shiori and the others..."

"Don't tell me any big truths."

The voice became softer and softer, and Nao's whole body emitted a golden red light.

“I don’t understand that…”

"idiot……"

The golden-red light dissipated bit by bit, then condensed on Jiu Xing's body until it disappeared.

"Next time……"

"See you next time."

Looking at the empty palm, Jiu Xing smiled.

He didn't understand why he made that choice.

But it doesn't matter at this moment.

He looked at Kennedy who had remained silent and said with a smile:

"Master, if possible, can you please call me out for the next Holy Grail War?"

Kennedy looked at the twelve-year-old boy in front of him in silence, then slowly said:

"To summon a heroic spirit, you need a relic from the previous life."

"In fact, the process of summoning Lancer went completely wrong."

"Because I summoned you using the holy relic of Diarmuid, the chief knight of the Fianna Knights."

"Logically, my Servant should be Diarmuid."

Jiu Xing couldn't help but stand up and sighed softly.

"That's it..."

Jiu Xing just waved his hand and a golden chain burst out from his palm and stretched to a stone not far away.

With a gentle roll, the stone fell into the palm of his hand.

All I saw was stone chips flying everywhere, and Jiu Xing was carving something on the stone.

Looking at the carved stone in his hand and thinking about throwing it to Kennedy, Jiu Xing hesitated at this moment.

There is no reason for the other party to participate in this life-and-death Holy Grail War again for his own sake.

Looking at the stone in his hand with his name engraved on it, Jiu Xing sighed softly.

He injected his own magic power into it, then exerted his strength and threw it into the distance.

The golden magic power entangled the stone and disappeared into the sky, watching the stone move away.

Jiu Xing didn't say much.

Just keep it as a memory.

Xun stood in front of the window, silently looking at the disappearing stone, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss Xun?"

At this moment, Sora opened his eyes drowsily, looked at the blonde beauty in front of the window and spoke subconsciously.

"Go to sleep, Sora, I'm here."

Kaoru returned to Sora with a gentle smile.

"Hmm~"

Sora subconsciously hugged Kaoru's arm.

The last time Emiya Kiritsugu attacked her, she developed a sense of dependence on Kaoru.

Or maybe she just lacks a sense of security.

In a daze, Sora fell into a deep sleep again.

……

In a trance, she seemed to have a dream.

I dreamed of a young man with golden flames all over his body, riding a huge golden fox and rushing towards several monsters in front.

There was a blonde girl beside the man, who was yelling something...

Tailed Beast Space-Time Wave Flash…what what…Flying Thunder God Final Style???

The name was too long, she couldn't remember it...

But it looks like that blonde girl is Miss Xun when she was young?
Were Miss Xun's moves so complicated when she was young?

But once you hear it, it sounds amazing.
