The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

106 Turbulent and Deceptive

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

Boom, boom, boom... The continuous bursts of explosions echoed throughout the room.

Thick clouds of dust billowed into the air. Dust and grass mingled and swirled in the sunlight.

"Hmph, courting death." Hirakawa Sukeyuu snorted coldly as he looked at the area shrouded in smoke.

He didn't think those brats could survive such an attack. It's just a pity about Princess Miyu; she's such a wonderful woman… and a princess at that! Playing with her would be so exciting!

Just as he was lost in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by his companion. "Lord Kaiyou! They, they..."

Hirakawa Sukeyuu paused, then followed his gaze. The smoke and dust that had filled the field had completely dissipated, revealing a wall of earthen shields rising from the ground. The unharmed figures of Mugetsu and the others emerged from behind the shields.

"How is this possible? They're just kids, yet they can use such advanced Earth Release ninjutsu... 520..." Hirakawa Kaisuke was completely astonished. He didn't realize that the strength of these people in front of him couldn't be calculated according to common sense.

"Is this all the Daimyo's guards are capable of?" Mugetsu shook his head with a hint of helplessness. Compared to the real ninja forces he had fought before, this group was clearly much weaker.

"You wretched brat!" Hirakawa Suke's expression instantly turned furious, his right hand gripping the short sword on his back. He stomped his foot on the ground and charged towards Mugetsu. "Don't you dare underestimate me!"

"It's not that I look down on anyone." With a sigh, Wuyue stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, until the other's blade was about to touch his body before he raised his hand to touch the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Swish.

A cold glint flashed in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, Mugetsu was already standing behind Hirakawa Kaisuke, and with a "clang," she slowly sheathed her Zanpakuto. "It's just stating the facts."

Hirakawa Yusuke's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape as if he wanted to say something. But before he could utter a sound, a sharp, bloody trickle gushed from his waist. Crimson blood spurted out, spraying into the air.

sluggish.

The daimyo's guards were all stunned, their faces showing exaggerated expressions of disbelief. Why, why did this happen?! Their leader, their leader was a powerful Jonin! He was actually... killed in a single blow?!

"Run! Run!" the first one to react shouted. "We're no match for them! We're no match for them at all!"

In an instant, the remaining guards also came to their senses and, without any hesitation, turned around and ran back the way they came. Even their leader was no match for the enemy, and despite their numerical advantage, they dared not harbor the slightest illusion of victory.

"Captain?" Rina Sawashiro asked in a questioning tone. Saori and Yui also turned their faces away, waiting for his instructions.

"Hmm." Wuyue clearly understood their meaning and nodded slightly. "Bring one back alive."

"Yes."

The girls vanished in a flash.

"Ahhh... my legs, my legs!"

"Please spare me, I beg you..."

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Screams rose and fell. Faced with the women's slaughter, these guards, who had lost their courage, were like lambs to the slaughter, with no chance to fight back.

Wuyue glanced at her once and then ignored her, turning her gaze to the trembling Miyu. "Are you alright? Are you having trouble adjusting?"

"No, I just feel a tightness in my chest." Miyu gently shook her head.

She had never been interested in the position of daimyo, so she didn't harbor any ill will towards her uncle who had usurped her place. However, she couldn't accept that he was connected to the deaths of her parents.

"Don't overthink it, things might not be so bad." Wu Yue subconsciously held her hands and said, "At least, it shouldn't be some kind of scene of family members killing each other."

"What?" Miyu's face showed a hint of surprise. "But if it wasn't him, who else could mobilize a daimyo's guard like Hirakawa Sukesuke? And what about that imperial edict..."

“Perhaps it’s not a transfer.” Wu Yue shook her head and said, “To put it another way, what if it’s a bribe? As for that edict, who knows if it’s real or fake.”

Miyu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why would Muzuki-kun make such a guess?"

Wuyue chuckled and said, "If your relative really wanted to kill you, they could have simply sent someone to Konoha to take you away. There's no need to write a letter specifically instructing the Hokage to send a capable ninja to escort you back to the capital. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"You mean..." Miyu wasn't stupid; she immediately understood the point.

Her uncle is most likely being controlled by someone!

Moreover, the person controlling him also holds an extremely high position and wields great power in the Land of Fire! Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to issue a fake edict!

"Wait a moment, I think... we'll have the answer soon." Wuyue smiled as she watched Yui and the others approach.

107 The Rise and Fall of the Capital

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

Two days later, in the capital of the Land of Fire.

Located south of the Daming Prefecture government office, it is a magnificent and luxurious manor.

An elderly man, around fifty years old, with graying hair and beard, and possessing a rather dignified appearance, knelt on the tatami mat in front of the door. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he were resting.

"Lord Kazuya." A dark figure suddenly appeared and knelt on one knee outside the door.

The old man remained motionless, his eyes still half-closed. "Any news?"

“No.” The shadowy figure said in a low voice, “Not only is there no news from the Imperial Guard… the government has already sent someone to inform us that Tsugawa Miyu has arrived. She is being escorted by Konoha ninja.”

"These useless bastards!"

The old man finally opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them. "They must have given themselves away; the Konoha ninjas have noticed something! Damn it!"

"Lord Kazuya, what shall we do next..."

"Proceed according to the original plan!" The old man named Hezai waved his hand and said, "Have all the Shadow Group members lie in ambush in the front hall of the government office, and we will make our move in the main hall."

"Yes! I understand!" The shadowy figure did not hesitate, bowed and retreated.

Kazuya slowly stood up, facing the blue sky and white clouds outside the door, and sighed, "This time, the era belonging to the Nagashima family is finally about to begin!"

"Let's not imagine things to be too rosy."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, pouring cold water on Kazuya's enthusiasm: "Even if you succeed in launching an armed coup, Konoha will not stand idly by." As he spoke, a burly figure slowly walked out from the inner hall.

This extremely muscular man wore a pointed conical hat that covered his nose and above, while a black mask covered his face below the nose. He was dressed in a black jumpsuit, exuding an aura of mystery and danger.

“There’s not much to worry about.” Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I’m confident that I can completely convince Konoha after this incident is over. And before that, I’ve already made contact with some of Konoha’s high-ranking officials.”

"Is that so?" The man in black neither confirmed nor denied it...

"However, the current situation has deviated slightly from my original plan." The old man turned his face away and said sincerely, "Just in case, I would like to ask for your help, sir."

The man in black said calmly, "Because of those few Konoha ninjas?"

“Yes.” Kazuya nodded and did not hide anything, “Although they are no match for you, sir, they are a variable for me. If you can solve this for me, I will pay double the reward.”

"Double, huh..." The man in black pondered for a moment, then said, "You're really generous. Alright, I'll take this mission."

……

……

The main hall of the Daming Prefecture government office.

The Fire Country's Daimyo, Tsugawa Yohei, sat high on the main seat, his gaze fixed on Miyu below the platform, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a guard outside the hall announced, "The Right Minister has arrived..." and Kazuya's figure slowly entered the hall.

it's him!

Miyu's gaze was fixed on the figure. She already knew from the daimyo's guard that the one who had given her the order to be executed was none other than the Right Minister, Kazuya Sakaki!

Connecting this to the previous coup, this Right Minister had controlled the most crucial security department of the Daimyo government—the Eastern Guard. Yet, during the coup, the Eastern Guard troops repeatedly delayed, refusing to engage, claiming they hadn't received orders. This made everything clear to Miyu in an instant.

The enmity between parents is irreconcilable!

Even a mature and sophisticated woman like Miyu lost her temper at this moment, shouting angrily, "Damn traitor! I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

· ……

Awkward.

Upon hearing this explosive news, everyone present, including the daimyo, was in an uproar. Lord Kazuya is a traitor? Impossible! What on earth is going on?!

Kazuya Sakaki was also taken aback, then turned his face and said, "It's Princess Miyu, it's been a long time. But why are you framing this old man?"

"A frame-up?" Miyu gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Is it really a frame-up? Do you really think no one knows what you've been doing behind my back? Whether it was the East Guard Station before, or the secret order to execute me..."

So they were found out after all?

Kazuya Sakaki raised an eyebrow, but feigned composure, saying, "Please, Your Highness, have some self-respect. As things stand, you are the one who is rebelling against our country. Are you trying to shift the blame by saying such things?"

"Lord Kazuya is right."

A slightly overweight official chimed in, "Tsugawa Miyu, although you were a princess of the previous generation, you have now been stripped of your title and reduced to a criminal. If you continue to speak nonsense, your crime will be compounded."

"Yes, that's exactly right!"

"Putting that aside, can a criminal stand openly inside the government office of Daming?!"

"Oh right, I hadn't thought of that before! Guards, take this woman to jail!"

"Put him in jail?" Tsugawa Yohei on the platform was taken aback, and quickly said, "That's not necessary."

"I think it's absolutely necessary!" the slightly overweight official said again. "Tsugawa Miyu is suspected of plotting to overthrow the country! Not only did she kill her own parents, but she also tried to incite the Konoha ninja to undermine the daimyo's power. Her crimes are heinous! Arrest her!"

108. Let's tear off the mask of civility!

Splash!

As if it had been rehearsed long ago, several guards dressed in armor and carrying weapons entered the hall and surrounded Wuyue and her companions.

"How boring." Without changing her expression, Wuyue cracked her neck. "It's like a real-life melodrama. Let's stop here. Your acting is so clumsy. I have no desire to continue playing along."

“Konoha ninjas,” Kazuya Sakaki turned around and said calmly, “this is an internal matter of the Land of Fire, and you have no need to interfere. Leave now, no one will stop you.”

"Uh, what if I absolutely have to get involved?" A smile crept across his lips beneath the Wuyue mask.

Kazuya Sakaki paused for a moment, then asked, "Is this Konoha's intention?" He was genuinely afraid that Konoha might interfere, which would prevent him from securing the position of Daimyo.

Wuyue shrugged and said calmly, "Don't be nervous, this is just my personal opinion."

"You alone?" Kazuya Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief at first, then frowned. "Why should I?"

"Just because she's my fiancée, is that alright?" Wuyue skillfully grabbed Meixi's hand. The latter blushed in response.

No, fiancée?

Everyone was stunned, staring at the height difference between Wuyue and Meixi, their faces showing strange expressions. Clearly, none of them wanted to believe Wuyue's words.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, kiss Miyu in public and put your hand inside her yukata.
