A fighter from Hyuga

How should I face Xiu Si?

"Uchiha Mikoto!"

His hands clenched into fists subconsciously, and Uchiha Chisaku couldn't help but roar at Mikoto.

No, that's not right.

Uchiha Mikoto must have someone she likes, otherwise, it would be impossible for Mikoto to maintain such an attitude even after she took a step back.

After all, Mikoto could have agreed to her request first and then rejected the marriage proposal during her subsequent relationship with Uchiha Fugaku.

At that time, as a father, although I would feel regretful, how could I really bear to let my daughter marry someone she doesn't like?

But even so, Mikoto still stood firm.

The only possibility is that Mikoto already has someone she likes, and even her daughter is still pursuing that boy.

That's why I didn't back down because I was concerned about the boy's thoughts.

That being the case...

Then let me see your determination, Uchiha Mikoto.

In response to Uchiha Chisaku's low roar, Mikoto just continued to look at Uchiha Chisaku silently without saying a word.

"Go back to the Anbu and calm down. We'll talk again in a couple of days."

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Sensaku said to Uchiha Mikoto.

It is definitely impossible to give enough pressure all at once.

You have to do it step by step and slowly, so that Mikoto can feel the full pain.

Of course, Sensaku wasn't the kind of jerk who took pleasure in torturing his daughter.

The reason why Sensaku did this was that he wanted to try and see if Mikoto would open her Mangekyō Sharingan if he put pressure on her from this angle.

Also, there is the boy that Mikoto likes.

Sensaku could use this to judge how far the relationship between Mikoto and the boy had progressed.

And is that boy willing to stand up for Mikoto and face the pressure from the Uchiha?

Hearing this, Mikoto didn't say much, but just turned around and left silently.

……

"This time our target is the Daimyo of the Land of Rain. Let's get ready to set off."

In Shuji's dormitory, Shuji described this mission to Mikoto and Nawaki.

"Daimyo?"

When Sheng Shu heard this, he was stunned and looked at Xiu Si with some surprise.

"what happened?"

Hearing this, Xiu Si asked back to Sheng Shu with some confusion.

"If we take action against the Daimyo of the Rain Country, then we, the Daimyo of the Fire Country..."

"Aren't the ninjas around the Daimyo of the Rain Country there to guard against ninjas from other hidden villages who might assassinate the Daimyo?

Isn't the purpose of the twelve ninjas guarding the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to prevent the Daimyo from being assassinated by ninjas from other hidden villages?"

As Nawaki finished speaking, without waiting for Shuji to say anything more, Mikoto spoke to Nawaki.

However, compared to her somewhat aggressive tone in the past, Mikoto's attitude has become much softer now.

Well, Mikoto thought that since she was going to be with Shuji, she must also build good relationships with Shuji's friends.

Otherwise, this will inevitably affect my image in Xiu Si's mind.

"Any other questions?"

Seeing this, Shusi continued to ask Rope Tree.

"I do not have anymore."

Hearing this, Sheng Shu shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"Okay, go back and change your clothes. Meet here in half an hour."

Nodding slightly, Shuji stood up and spoke to Nawaki and Mikoto.

If you go to the capital of Rain Country to assassinate the daimyo, you definitely cannot go wearing the ANBU uniform.

……

"Don't we need to gather some intelligence or something?"

In an inn near Daimyofu, the capital of the Rain Country, Nawaki asked Shusi, who was dozing on the bed, with some confusion.

According to the practice of previous missions, Xiusi should use his Byakugan to gather intelligence at this time.

But why did you suddenly take a break today?

Seeing this, Mikoto on the side also blinked in confusion.

"This mission is a good opportunity for me to test my new skills. You two just need to protect my body here."

Hearing this, Shuji said to Nawaki and Mikoto.

Although now the significance of the spiritualization technique to me is more reflected in the aspect of cultivation.

But this cannot change the fact that the Spiritualization Technique itself is an unpredictable ninjutsu.

Sense the location of the enemy's soul, possess it regardless of distance, directly control the enemy or destroy the enemy's spirit.

S-level soul ninjutsu is the most advanced secret technique in the ninja world.

This technique is actually somewhat similar to the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan.

The difference is that the art of spiritualization does not require face-to-face interaction.

Of course, this technique is not without its shortcomings. For example, it is very dependent on soul strength.

As we all know, in the ninja world there is no art that specifically strengthens the soul.

Neither the forbidden art master Senju Tobirama, nor the ninjutsu professor Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor Orochimaru, who dedicated his life to ninjutsu, developed a technique that could specifically strengthen the soul.

Not only in the ninja world, even in the fighter's hometown of Xu Zu, no one has truly developed a technique that can specifically strengthen the soul.

However, when Xu Zu's mind energy system collided with the ninjutsu system of the ninja world, some new and strange techniques came into being.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Hearing this, Misaka nodded immediately, sat next to Shusi, and leaned towards him subtly.

His body stiffened slightly, and as Mikoto approached, Shusi almost subconsciously wanted to move away.

But after thinking about it, Xiusi chose not to move.

Mikoto doesn't stink, there's no need to stay away from her.

Chapter 217, Heading to the Wet Bone Forest

Looking at Shuji and Mikoto whose bodies were almost sticking together, Nawaki opened his mouth silently, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

For some reason, Sheng Shu felt that he seemed a little redundant now.

……

The next morning, something big happened in the Rain Kingdom.

Daming was hanged on the beam of the house in Daming Mansion.

When this happened, the first people to be confused were the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village guarding the Daimyo Prefecture.

no……

Why?

As a daimyo, his daily tasks were to manage his subordinates, enjoy delicious food, and be well served by his concubines.

Is this the kind of life that requires hanging?

As to whether the daimyo was assassinated or fell into an illusion.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

There's no trace of this at all...

Moreover, if it was a ninja assassination, how could it be possible to create the illusion of suicide?

It's simply not necessary.

In addition to these ninjas responsible for protecting the daimyo, the second group of people who knew this news were the liaison officers responsible for conveying the daimyo's summons to the ministers.

And, the minister whom this liaison officer trusts.

Almost at the moment of learning the news, the minister was stunned for a moment, and then immediately blocked the news of the daimyo's suicide.

Those who were prepared to unite with him still acted as if the daimyo was still alive.

Thus gaining access to the supreme power of the Rain Kingdom.

However, the very next day, this minister also died in his own home.

Just like Daimyo, there was no trace at all and he died quietly at home.

And it was not just this minister, dozens of ministers in the capital of the Rain Kingdom died at home.

At this moment, the entire Rain Country was stunned.

When a large number of vacancies appeared in the center of power in a short period of time, even the nobles of the Rain Country had many people who were capable of replacing them.

However, it is impossible to reach that level in a short period of time.

After all, how could there be only one faction in the power structure of the Rain Kingdom?

The conflict could originally be suppressed because the daimyo was still alive.

At this moment, it completely broke out!
