Can't an old man kill?

"Who is the leader, you or me?"

Pain spoke with displeasure.

"..." Obito Uchiha for a moment, then said, "You are the leader."

"Nagato, there's no need to pay him any attention."

Konan, who was hiding in the shadows with Nagato, spoke to the emaciated Nagato beside her.

Nagato nodded slightly.

"Bastards! You killed Qing!"

Mei Terumi was about to rush forward in a fit of anger.

Chojuro was equally furious, but he still retained a sliver of reason.

He quickly stepped in front of Mei Terumi, stopping her. "Mei Terumi, you can't go any further. If something happens again, Mist Village will truly have no hope left."

His meaning was clear: as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

Mei Terumi naturally understood as well.

But the fact that Qing, with whom he had worked for many years, died before his eyes made her unable to bear such anger.

Although she knew that her anger was useless, the enemy in front of her was simply beyond her ability to deal with.

Subconsciously, she remembered Yagura Karatachi's baby face.

"If only the Fourth Hokage were still here."

That being said, in reality, Yagura Karatachi couldn't change anything.

When Mist Village was invaded, no one from the entire village came to help; instead, it was Yagura Karatachi who guarded the gate.

The Fourth Mizukage personally guards the gate!

The current state of Mist Village is largely their own doing. Their inaction is also a major contributing factor to the situation, including Yagura Karatachi being manipulated by Obito using Illusion Technique and continuing the Bloody Mist Policy.

"Why can't I even see any Ninja?"

Black Zetsu placed his hand on his chin and said softly.

"The Mist Village, once one of the Five Great Nations Five Great Shinobi Villages, now only has a handful of people left?"

Upon Mei Terumi and the other person remained silent.

Besides them, there were naturally two or three Jonin in the village, but even if they all went together, and all the Chunin and Genin were called up, there would still be less than a thousand people.

And it's not even certain that it could cause any harm to the people in front of it, so why throw your life away?

This is also the main reason Mei Terumi has stopped calling for support.

The outcome of a battle is often decided by top-tier combat power.

She can't win; anyone else would just be cannon fodder.

Meanwhile, in a remote corner of Mist Village, an old man followed a dimly lit, winding path to a luxurious area.

It looks like an affluent area, and its style is completely different from that of Mist Village.

This is Daimyo's Mansion.

Hidden behind Mist Village, even if Mist Village is occupied, the Daimyo of the Land of Water will most likely still be able to survive here for decades.

Of course, this is on the premise that he can be frugal.

Although the supplies here are enough for him to live on for decades, having become accustomed to Feudal Lord life of luxury, he might not be able to resist tightening his belt and scrimping and saving every day.

The old man was none other than the departing Genji.

Before Genji could even knock on the door of the Daimyo's Mansion, two Ninja flashed out from the courtyard and arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion.

Even if you are Genji arts, and currently the acting Mizukage of Mist Village, you cannot come here without an invitation from the Feudal Lord.

The two Ninja looked to be Chunin level, but their arrogant aura would have stunned even Kage-level ninja.

The Genji bowed tremblingly to the two men. Normally, given his status, it would be impossible for him to Chunin to two Chunin, and they would not be able to accept it.

However, the current situation forces them to act, and the other party is representing the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, not themselves.

He had no choice but to do it.

"Please, both of you, inform the Feudal Lord that there is something important..."

"What could be more important than disrupting Feudal Lord Daimyo's daily routine?!"

"Do you know how busy the Feudal Lord is every day? His schedule is packed, and he has something to do almost every minute. Your sudden appearance will disrupt Feudal Lord work!"

One of the Chunin shouted, snorting and glaring.

Genji lowered his deep eyes slightly.

If he had been younger, his head would have been severed the moment he uttered those two words.

But now, he's old.

His eyebrows and beard had long since turned white.

If he were really allowed to fight, he himself wasn't sure if he could even complete the Hand Seals.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Someone has attacked from outside. The Mizukage's Office Building is now destroyed, and it's only a matter of time before the Daimyo's Mansion is discovered..."

"They've attacked! Why aren't you fighting back? You're fleeing to escape punishment!"

The Chunin questioned him coldly.

The other Chunin arrived later had only recently started serving as Feudal Lord's guard and had not yet fully gained a sense of superiority.

He thought the person next to him was being ridiculous.

"He came to see Feudal Lord daimyo; the enemy must be too strong."

He said weakly.

"Since he's so strong, he should definitely contribute even more!"

The previous Chunin wouldn't let it go.

At this moment, Genji could no longer restrain himself and began to Hand Seals with his hands, which had been hidden in his sleeves.

"What... what do you want to do!"

Upon seeing Genji Hand Seals, he panicked and hurriedly Hand Seals as well.

But the next second, Genji's trembling hand suddenly accelerated.

"Wind Release: Wind Blade"

A circular wind blade instantly sliced across the Chunin's neck, causing blood to splatter everywhere!

"Snap---"

The sound of a head hitting the ground rang out.

"Gulp."

The other Ninja standing nearby didn't dare to breathe loudly; he swallowed hard and then breathed very quietly.

He stared in horror at his colleague beside him, whose head was now gone.

"Call..."

Genji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up his cane, which had fallen while he Hand Seals.

He leaned on his cane and said shakily, "This is troublesome."

"Okay... okay, no trouble at all!"

The last remaining Chunin leaned against the wall, then hurriedly jumped back into the Daimyo's Daimyo's Mansion and ran towards the inner palace.

"I didn't expect my hands to be so nimble..."

Genji looked at his still trembling hands and murmured softly.

In his youth, he had been on battlefields large and small, and killing was nothing more than a matter of beheading someone.

The previous tolerance was only out of consideration for the Feudal Lord's face, but even a Kage has his pride. It's ridiculous that a Chunin guard dares to be so arrogant.

"Feudal Lord Daimyo! Feudal Lord Daimyo!" the surviving Chunin guards shouted as they ran.

"What are you doing!" a low shout rang out.

Then a man emerged from the magnificent palace, supported by two women.

His expression was very displeased.

His expression was completely different from that of the two maids around him.

The two women were clearly beaming with happiness.

What are you shouting about in the Daimyo's Mansion?

The man who came out was none other than Feudal Lord. He looked at the flustered man and questioned him.

"Do you even know where you got this position? I fired you because the previous person made a big fuss about it!"

"Feudal Lord Daimyo, the Genji outside requests an audience."

Having just witnessed a dead body, the Chunin guard was far from composed and blurted out that Genji was requesting an audience.

"Genji? What's there to be nervous about..."

The Feudal Lord shoved a hand on a maid. "Let's go, let's get going and see what that old man wants with me."

As he moved, the two maids blushed, then each carried one side of the Feudal Lord and hurried outside.
