In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"According to the confession of the noble Harayama, the noble Sonowa is accused of instigating the ninja to cause chaos. He intended to surround and kill the ninjas of the Konoha Intelligence Department. The search warrant has been approved by the Konoha high-level officials. The evidence is solid. Immediately..."

"What nonsense are you chanting! Kill him!" a warrior shouted.

"Damn it! This guy must be a lunatic!"

This time, Naruto didn't do it himself. He snapped his fingers. With a rustle, more than a dozen coffins rose from the ground. With a few thuds, the bodies were unloaded.

This is the aristocratic courtyard of the Fire Nation's capital. The corpses of the Impure World Relics within this area were not very powerful when they were alive, and could barely stop samurai and ninjas.

The resurrected corpse was fighting with a group of ninja warriors. Naruto had the time to attack. He turned around and looked at the three people behind him and waved.

"Don't be afraid, this is just an illusion."

"Let's go in and have a look."

Chapter 416: Arrogant, one of the four noble families is missing

Shan Teng stared at the dozen or so corpses of the Impure World Reincarnation, swallowing slightly. He thought to himself: No, how come your illusion is... so real?

He turned around and found that the few people had already walked away, so he hurriedly followed them.

"Is that really an illusion?" Ino asked, frowning slightly. "Why does it look so familiar to me? Did Orochimaru use this ninjutsu before?"

"It's an improved version, no price, don't worry about it." Naruto said.

"Have you been able to improve your ninjutsu?" She leaned forward slightly, came closer, and asked in a low voice.

"It wasn't me, someone else changed it." Naruto said honestly, it was the system that changed it, "I don't have that ability, that ninjutsu sometimes works and sometimes doesn't."

"Oh." Ino breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Ye watched his team leader whispering with the lawless yellow-haired man and couldn't help but admire him. How could he be so calm even in someone else's house?

Is the focus wrong?! The focus is not on ninjutsu at all, right? Damn it! The noble's courtyard was broken through, aren't you worried at all?

Shan Teng hurried up from behind, and the four of them crossed the courtyard. Servants were hiding in groups, not daring to come out, so the path was clear.

The servants in the middle court were salaried workers and naturally would not risk their lives for the nobles. The servants in the inner court were loyal servants who stood up to stop it.

With a snap of his fingers, death emerges from the earth and the dead reappear.

"Help! Monster!"

"That person has been dead for a long time..."

The reanimated corpse stopped the other people, allowing the four to go upstairs. It was deserted. They randomly opened a few doors and found the great nobleman Sonowa behind a shoji door.

The tatami mat in the room was very wide, with only a low table in the middle. Seeing Ino and her group, he didn't show any panic on his face, but rather calm.

If he was facing an unknown wandering ninja, he might hide, but since the person in front of him was from Konoha Intelligence Department, he didn't need to panic at all.

If Konoha's ninja attacked the nobles, it would be a terrible signal. He believed that these people should also understand that the anger of the nobles united was not something they could bear.

Yuan He sat still, smiling at the four uninvited guests. A warm smile played on his face, and his expression was as gentle as a Buddha.

This bossy aura immediately made Shan Teng and Ji Ye, who came along to join the group, dare not look up at him. They even didn't want to stay in this room, as if ants were crawling on their bodies.

Aristocratic temperament is nothing more than the confidence cultivated over time by living in an environment where one can call the shots. A glance inspires awe, a word brings enlightenment.

If they lose everything and resources are no longer at their disposal, the effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced.

In contrast, Naruto and Ino didn't react much. Ino herself was also a noble among the ninjas, and she was considered to have a small position of power, so she didn't feel much towards these nobles.

Naruto simply didn't care. He didn't care what these nobles did or how much money they had. It would have been fine if they had been left alone, but since they were looking for trouble, he had to be prepared to pay the price.

"Are you from the Intelligence Department?" Sonowa asked with a smile. "Didn't Master Ino come here today? It's getting late, so why are you here again?"

"Yeah." Ino nodded and didn't say much.

Naruto had told her before coming here that she didn't need to worry about anything, just stand aside and watch. He would take care of everything, and he would get a fair explanation for her.

He walked forward, took out the search warrant, and spoke slowly.

"We were attacked by ninjas during a group meal, and the mastermind behind this, Harayama, was captured on the spot. He intended to manipulate the ninjas to attack the Konoha Intelligence Department and subvert the Konoha Village's military system."

"Yuan Shan? How is that possible?" Yuan He said in a surprised tone, "Is there some misunderstanding? Maybe just some contradictions, that's not the case."

"The crime has been determined." Naruto interrupted him, "On behalf of all Konoha's high-ranking officials, I have determined his guilt. According to Konoha's punishment law, he can be killed on the spot."

"Why can you represent the Konoha high-level officials?" Sonowa looked up and stared at Naruto with a calm gaze.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Naruto took out a seal and waved it in front of him, "I am one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, Uzumaki Naruto."

"As for the authenticity of the seal, you can find someone to verify it later. You have the right to appeal to the Konoha Hokage Building. But before that, there is another accusation against you."

"Accusations against me?" Sonowa smiled, his expression still gentle, but Naruto could feel the disdain that flashed across his face when he lowered his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Naruto's tone became impatient.

"Harayama accused you of manipulating ninjas to cause trouble, intending to attack Konoha Intelligence Department ninjas. Your intention was to take over the communications project and rob the Intelligence Department of its funds. Your intentions were sinister."

Ino listened silently to the charges Naruto made up, her eyelids twitching constantly. She thought to herself that these words were too ridiculous, and there was no evidence at all.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. As for the communications project, we've already discussed it. It's just an intention. The Intelligence Department can make their own decision."

"Where is the evidence?" Yuanhe asked.

"Harasan is your man, and one of your nobles." Naruto said, "Today you are making such a huge request, intending to take over the communications project."

"These are the evidence, I said."

"In that case, why not ask Lord Hokage to come and administer justice and let him hear whether these evidences are appropriate?" Sonokazu snorted heavily in dissatisfaction.

"I think you may have misunderstood. Why do you think I would be..."

"Father!" With a bang, a noble young man dressed in gorgeous clothes strode in. "Who are you? What do you want to do to my father?"

"We are from Konoha Intelligence Department..." Yamado tried to explain kindly.

"Get out of here!" the young man roared. He was clearly a bit too excited, as if he had taken some kind of drug. "You filthy bitches!"

Naruto glanced at Sonowa and spoke out.

"You don't mind your son having a few missing teeth, do you?"

"Wait!" Yuan He finally couldn't sit still anymore, but it was too late before he got up.

Naruto suddenly moved in front of the young noble, lifted him up, and slapped him, knocking out three of his teeth. With a "wow" sound, the young man immediately vomited blood.

The screams rang out, attracting the second young man to come in. The man was well-dressed, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and stood at the door in a gentle manner.

"Sir, please forgive my brother's rudeness." The young man saluted without even looking at the embarrassed young man.

"Who are you?" Naruto threw the man away without even looking at the elegant young man, and turned to look at Yuanhe, "This matter must have a result now. I don't care what you want to say."

"I don't believe the four noble families can live in peace. As long as you disappear, this lineage will be swallowed up immediately. Now I need an explanation, otherwise you will all die today."

"Naruto-sama, I think you should know the consequences of killing a noble?" Sonowa asked again, unwilling to give in. "Konoha has never had a precedent of punishing a noble. Do you want to make an exception?"

"Besides, although Konoha has the authority to interfere in the affairs of the Fire Nation, we bear no ill will towards the Intelligence Department. Therefore, you have no right to hold us accountable."

"If there's a misunderstanding, you can ask the city defense forces to investigate. Or you can report it to Konoha Village and ask the ninja to assist in the investigation. We have always maintained a good relationship with Konoha, and I also have a good personal relationship with the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi-sama. If you need, I can deliver a letter to the Hokage to explain the situation."

This is a threat, a naked threat.

Shan Teng and Ji Ye both sensed the thorniness of the situation and frowned. If they really complained as he had suggested, the matter would surely be left unresolved. This was the amulet of the nobility.

Even if they are unreasonable, they still have a lot of privileges to protect them. Whether investigating them or arresting them, you need to break through layers of shackles.

Hearing this, Ino also felt that things were not going well. She was not afraid of the threats from the nobles, after all, the Konoha ninja and the Fire Country capital belonged to two different systems.

Naruto has more connections than himself, and even though Sonowa is a noble, it is difficult for him to pose a threat to Naruto. The Sixth Hokage will not pay attention to him, and Konoha will not ask Naruto about such a matter.

But Naruto already had the intention to kill. If Naruto really took action, things would inevitably go in another unknown direction.

The four great nobles have long been united in power, and most of the Fire Nation's territory and wealth belong to them. Once Sonowa dies, the remaining nobles will turn against Naruto, and Konoha will inevitably be under pressure.

Although Kakashi is now the Hokage, he has just taken office and his foundation is shallow. Jiraiya is away from the village, Tsunade has also left the village, and there is no one who can truly support him.

After thinking it over, she still felt that it was inappropriate. But Ino remembered what Naruto said, that she should just stand aside and watch, and she didn't need to worry too much.

"Rules are made by people. You don't need to threaten me here." Naruto's voice became colder and colder. "Say something useful. It's best not to talk nonsense."

Yuan He's heart sank, and he realized something was wrong. He quickly stopped being stubborn and spoke.

"We will no longer be involved in the Intelligence Department project. We are deeply sorry for the trouble this has caused you."

"You're not going to interfere anymore?" Naruto looked at Sonowa in surprise, then at the two young men, "Are you sending the beggars away?"

"You were the ones who manipulated the ninjas to attack the Intelligence Department. Countless of our men were killed or wounded, and four or five have already been buried. Now, you're saying you're not going to intervene and that's it?"

Standing behind Naruto, Shandou lowered his voice and asked Jieye beside him.

"When did we have four or five deaths?"

"I don't know, and you'd better not ask. Maybe you are the sixth one." Ji Ye said in a low voice, "Don't say anything, just watch."

"Oh, I thought someone really died." Shan Teng said.

"No one died!" Yuan He couldn't hold it in any longer and scolded, "You are slandering me. This is blatant slander!"

"Really? Putting aside the facts, isn't it your fault?" Naruto said, "Now if I say there are casualties, then there are casualties. If you don't agree."

Having said this, he paused and continued speaking as it was.

"You can go to the city defense forces to investigate, or report to Konoha Village and ask the ninja to pay you a commission to assist in the investigation. In addition, Konoha and I have always had an equal relationship, and I am a disciple of the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, and also a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas."

"Besides that, I also have a close relationship with the Fourth and Fifth Hokage. If you need, I can deliver a letter to the current Hokage to explain the situation after you die."

The next moment, Naruto snapped his fingers.

More than a dozen coffins rose from the ground, and the moment the coffin lids were opened, Naruto immediately noticed the terrified expression on Sonowa's face, which seemed to have a hint of familiarity.

Looking at Yuanhe's horrified expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said to Yuanhe.

"It seems that there are many people buried in this courtyard. Master Yuanhe, are you the kind of person who is used to burying your enemies directly in your own yard?"

"You!! Nonsense!"

"Really? Then you've already made a promise to them, they'd love to tear you apart." Naruto took two steps back and turned his gaze to the other two young men.

The two men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to utter a single sound. Their faces were filled with terror, and they gasped for air as if drowning.

"Father! Father! Help!" The gentlemanly young man lost his composure and shrank back inside with his legs kicked. He now deeply regretted wading into the muddy water.

He had only wanted to watch his good-for-nothing brother run in, knowing he would only mess things up. So he deliberately waited a while before going in, hoping to gain some favor with his father.

But who could have thought that this situation would occur when it was just a group of ninjas causing trouble!

"I promise you! I agree to any conditions! Our Yuanhe family is willing to make compensation!" Yuanhe was terrified and shouted with all his might.

"I want 70%!" said Naruto.

"Okay! I promise you!" Yuan He didn't care about anything else and could only agree.

Ino frowned upon hearing this. It wasn't that she was disgusted by Naruto's request for money, but she subconsciously felt that she couldn't get the money. The nobles never kept their promises.

Besides, Yuan He may look gentle, but in reality he's probably a ruthless person. The main problem is that I can't get the money. 70%... or even half of it.

However, the next moment, Naruto did not move, but turned around and was about to leave. He pulled Ino with him and said to the stunned Yamafuji and Jiye.

"Let's go."

"Wait! Help!"

"Damn it! Take it back now! You bastard!"

"what!!!"

"Don't go! Help! You clearly promised!" The young man valued his life even more, and crawled towards Naruto, but was grabbed by the reincarnated corpse.

A desperate cry echoed through the room. The door slammed shut, shut out by the shoji screen. The corpse that had come from the courtyard had vanished, leaving blood everywhere.

Fortunately, they were all ninjas, no strangers to slaughter. Aside from Yamadou's somewhat unsteady steps and a slight fear of the terrifying coffin jutsu, everything was normal.

"Did you plan to do this from the beginning?" Ino asked, her hand held by his. "You want 70%, but you're just deliberately taking revenge on them?"

"No, they asked for it." Naruto shook his head, "I didn't expect the nobles to go this far. I followed the procedures step by step. They had a chance."

"But it doesn't matter now. It's over. The four great nobles of the capital have become history. From now on, there will be only three great nobles."
