Daimyo of the Land of Water mansion.
In a secluded room, Takenaka Kaguya had a sneer on his face and looked quietly in the direction of the living room where Daimyo was.
Under the cover of Advanced Observation Haki, everything in Daimyo Residence, even the scene of falling snowflakes, was clearly detected by him.
Naturally, the conversation in the living room not far away was also known to him.
"Haha, you are indeed a member of the Hozuki Clan. You hate me to death for making trouble in front of Daimyo." Takenaka Kaguya sneered and muttered to himself.
At the same time, he also learned about Daimyo's attitude towards him. It can be said that this gave him the urge to destroy Hozuki Clan.
"Hoo!"
After exhaling a heavy breath, Takenaka Kaguya felt relieved. He took Advanced Observation Haki back and immediately began to rest.
To him, it doesn't matter what Daimyo's attitude is, as long as he doesn't really think about doing anything to him, otherwise, he doesn't mind letting Daimyo of the Land of Water become the first Daimyo to die in the hands of Ninja.
It's night, and there's nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, as soon as Takenaka Kaguya opened his eyes, he heard a noise outside. A moment later, the housekeeper who took him to this room yesterday said outside the door that Daimyo had already gotten up and packed up, and told Takenaka Kaguya the specific time of departure.
Takenaka Kaguya responded, and not long after, two Daimyo Mansion maids came in carrying washing supplies and breakfast.
After briefly freshening up and eating something, Eiichiro Hoshigaki came to the door and said respectfully, "Lord Takenaka, we are ready to go."
"Okay."
Takenaka Kaguya stood up, then hung the Famous Sword Shusui that he had put aside around his waist, and then walked out.
It has to be said that Daimyo of the Land of Water really has a good reputation when traveling. In addition to him, there are twelve Ninjas of Jonin level standing by, and there are dozens of Chunins left.
Regarding this, Takenaka Kaguya didn't know why Byakuren and Genji sent him to perform this escort mission.
With just twelve Jonin guarding Daimyo, basically no one without a long-sighted mind would dare to disturb him. You know, even a strong Kage Level may not necessarily be able to deal with so many Jonin head-on.
However, heading all the way towards Capital of the Land of Fire, the team was as safe as he thought in Land of Water.
However, just after leaving Land of Water, and the moment the team was about to enter the territory of Land of Fire, Takenaka Kaguya felt something was wrong.
In the forest ahead, I saw birds circling and not daring to land, and the forest was also extremely quiet.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Eiichiro Hoshigaki, who was walking at the front, raised his left hand and made a movement to stop moving forward.
In an instant, the entire team stopped.
At this time, Daimyo in the sedan felt that the sedan had stopped and asked impatiently, "What happened? Why did it stop?"
Immediately, Hozuki Clan Jonin who was guarding the side quickly responded respectfully, "Master Daimyo, there is a forest ahead, and there seems to be someone hiding in it."
Upon hearing this, Daimyo of the Land of Water suddenly opened the curtain of the sedan and said impatiently, "Then send someone to go in and take a look..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw hundreds of shurikens flying out quickly from the forest. Judging from the direction in which these shurikens were attacking, they were all Daimyo of the Land of Water's sedan chairs.
"Enemy attack, protect Lord Daimyo."
I saw twelve Jonin each taking out their own weapons, shouting to remind others, and shooting down the nearest shuriken.
"Ding ding ding..."
In an instant, the sparks emitted by the collision of gold and iron were dazzling and dizzying.
"Earth Release·Earth-Style Wall!"
I saw the Jonin of the Hozuki Clan quickly Hand Seals, and instantly released a Earth Release Ninjutsu, forming an earth wall in front of the sedan, blocking all the shurikens.
Seeing this scene, Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help but admire in his heart. "It seems that they often encounter this kind of assassination. This kind of cooperation is quite good, and the danger is completely eliminated..."
However, before Takenaka Kaguya could finish his emotion, suddenly, he frowned, and then with a loud sound, Famous Sword Shusui had already swiped the neck of Ninja who had sneaked up from under the Daimyo of the Land of Water sedan.
His slashes were extremely fast, and it was not until the sneak attack Ninja was eliminated that the remaining twelve Jonin reacted.
When seeing this scene, Chunin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, his eyes looking at Takenaka Kaguya were also full of admiration.
If Takenaka Kaguya hadn't reacted quickly and killed the sneak attack enemy just now, even if they had reacted and tried to stop them, they might not have been able to save Daimyo in time.
"Lord Takenaka, please protect Mr. Daimyo. We will rush in and deal with the enemies inside."
Suddenly, Eiichiro Hoshigaki quickly said to Takenaka Kaguya, and then prepared to join other Jonin and rush into the forest together.
"No need, the other party has already retreated." Takenaka Kaguya shook his head and sighed.
Hearing this, Eiichiro Hoshigaki stopped and looked back at Takenaka Kaguya, a little hesitant, wondering if what Takenaka Kaguya said was true.
However, two merchants Jonin rushed into the forest and returned quickly after a while. Sure enough, as Takenaka Kaguya said, the enemies in the forest had retreated.
In this way, the body of Ninja, who was beheaded by Takenaka Kaguya, was collected into Sealing Scroll, and then after comforting Daimyo, he continued to move forward.
However, before they had gone far, another wave of assassinations followed.
But after experiencing the initial assassination, the twelve Jonin who were guarding Daimyo had already become more energetic. As a result, the subsequent assassinations did not require Takenaka Kaguya to take action. Ninja who came to attack were all eliminated.
There was no chance to make a move, and Takenaka Kaguya didn't think anything was wrong. He just followed the sedan quietly to deal with emergencies.
As for the action, it is all left to the twelve Jonin and the other Ninja inside.
Finally, a few days later, they were finally approaching Capital of the Land of Fire. Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, dozens of Ninja appeared at the front of the team.
Among them, the majority are Jonin, and the weakest ones are also Elite Chunin.
At this time, Takenaka Kaguya discovered someone he had not seen for a long time. After seeing him, Takenaka Kaguya finally understood why so many Ninja came to assassinate him along the way.
"Lord Takenaka, please continue to stay with Master Daimyo, and we will leave those enemies to us." Eiichiro Hoshigaki said quickly.
The other Jonin also nodded, it seemed that they all had this idea.
Even Jonin of the Hozuki Clan, although he is hostile to Takenaka Kaguya in his heart, he also knows that in the face of so many enemies, only Takenaka Kaguya has the ability to protect Daimyo.
However, just when they were about to rush forward and fight the enemy on the opposite side, they saw Takenaka Kaguya smiling and saying, "No need, leave the enemy to me. You stay here to protect Daimyo."
