Clear Division of Labor

Shouhon Yihan then looked at Matsudan at his feet and said with an evil expression, "We Konoha Ninjas exterminated your twenty-nine clans to avenge our daimyo."

"Hehehe, "Shouhon Yihan exclaimed again with a look of emotion.

"Daimyo, did you hear that? We Konoha Ninjas are all righteous. To avenge you, we wiped out the traitorous Matsudan Clan, and all twenty-nine of them at that! This is the strongest justice, this is the righteous Konoha Ninja! Waaaaah, I'm even moved myself!"

Wayanra immediately seized the opportunity, waving his hands and saying with a face full of gratitude:

"Shouhon Yihan, your pure and innocent heart is truly moving. The Konoha Ninja are all righteous. Even if the Daimyo knew that you avenged him and slaughtered twenty-nine members of the Matsudan Clan, he would be grateful to you from the afterlife."

The high-ranking officials of the Wayanra faction shouted, "Minister Zhang, hurry up and do it! Kill that old thief Matsudan first, and then we'll identify the ministers of Matsudan's faction and make them pay for the Matsudan Clan's crimes!"

Even some neutral high-ranking officials were stunned when they heard that Shouhon Yihan wanted to exterminate the Matsudan Clan, but all twenty-nine clans.

They all thought to themselves, "We've spoken to Minister Matsudan before. Does this mean we're subject to extermination? No, we can't be exterminated. We have no choice but to become tainted witnesses."

Immediately, more officials joined the ranks of tainted witnesses, each beginning their accusations. "Where did Minister Matsudan plot a rebellion, killing the daimyo of the Land of Fire? I will never forgive the Matsudan Clan!"

The entire hall was filled with officials criticizing the Matsudan Clan; even those who were usually opportunistic began to attack Minister Matsudan.

Shouhon Yihan frowned slightly as she looked at the nobles and officials, and shouted, "You must also be from the Matsudan Clan. All members of the Police Force, go over there and kill them all. None of you will escape!"

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Daimyo's Estate, Hayakumo Sōma had already led several thousand men to search every room for the Daming's property. Any valuable treasures were all packed up and taken away by the members of the Fat Water Squad."

There were still more than a dozen corpses of Guardian Ninjas on the ground, all of whom had been killed by the Fat Water Squad.

Seeing all the property had been seized in the Hayakumo Sōma said with a serious expression, "Arrest and imprison all these people from Daimyo's Estate. Don't let them out, lest they leak the news."

Upon hearing their captain's words, Teyano Hisashi and Hyuga Changchun, among others, all shouted, "We understand! We will not give these people a chance. Our Konoha's rule over the Land of Fire is already a natural progression!"

Hayakumo Sōma and said with a serious expression:

"Sarutobi Asuma, I just gave you a chance to escape, but you insisted on choosing to live and die with the Land of Fire's daimyo. Now I have no choice but to send you and the daimyo to your graves. I gave you chances, but you didn't cherish them. I'm a man of principle, and I've already given you three chances to act, but your strength is too weak. You can't even break through my Lightning Armor. You definitely haven't been training hard these past few years, and your strength has declined drastically. A guy like you is a complete failure."

Upon hearing his captain's words, Kogane Sōsuke replied with a serious expression, "Captain Hayashi, we are Konoha ninjas. Sarutobi Asuma is a remnant of the Sarutobi Clan. It seems we cannot show mercy."

Hayakumo Sōma and said with a serious expression, "I just wanted to show him the gap between us. When Hiruzen Sarutobi Hokage, I was just an ordinary Elite Jonin. But by the time of the Fifth Hokage, I had already reached the Kage Level. Even the Fourth Raikage was just a clown, someone who was trying to teach a fish to swim. The rise of Konoha was inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Kogane Sōsuke immediately nodded and said respectfully, "Chief, your strength is already comparable to that of the Fourth Raikage. Under the leadership of the Hokage, our Konoha will surely be able to rule the entire Shinobi World."

Hayakumo Sōma, then, recalling Uchiha Qingcheng, a shiver ran through him. He said respectfully:

"Of course, Konoha will continue to grow strong, while other ninja villages will only serve as Konoha backdrop. I think the Fifth Hokage will soon rule the entire Shinobi World, and in the future, he will establish the Konoha Empire of the Undying Sun. We Konoha Ninjas will continue to be powerful. Also, have the money tallied and packed up. Tonight, the Hokage will come to the capital of the Land of Fire, and I need to deliver the money there."

The cadres of the Fat Water Squad nodded in unison, their faces serious, and said, "Understood, Minister. We will begin the statistics immediately."

Bai Yun said to Teyano Hisashi again that Hayakumo Sōma, "Take a thousand team members and start looting. Plunder the homes of the wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire. Shouhon Yihan have already begun. If you encounter members of the Police Force, you should give them a little leeway."

Hayakumo Sōma took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Minister Zhang has handed over the backyard of Daimyo's Estate to our Fat Water Squad. It's a huge lucrative position, so we shouldn't compete with others for it, but we'll take whatever we can secretly plunder."

Teyano Hisashi immediately nodded, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Understood, Minister! We'll go right away, even faster than the Police Force!"

Hayakumo Sōma, but overall, she doesn't say much. She had already discussed this with Shouhon Yihan Hayakumo Sōma.

One family is reaping the wealth of the city's rich merchants and high-ranking officials; the other is invading the Land of Fire's Daimyo's Estate in the Land of Fire to kill the Land of Fire. Everyone should do their own task and not overstep their bounds.

"After killing the daimyo Hayakumo Sōma also plundered the entire Daimyo's Estate. Now he's sending his subordinate, Teyano Hisashi, to the wealthy merchants in Kyoto to make money off them. This is stealing business from Shouhon Yihan,"

Inside the latrine of Daimyo's Estate, a Police Force, still hiding under the bushes, breathed a sigh of relief only after the members of the Fat Water Squad Police Force all left.

Immediately, a member of the Police Force, his face filled with excitement, said to Hyuga Hisaharu, "Captain Hiharu, we just stole so much stuff, and these members of the Fat Water Squad haven't even noticed us yet! That's fantastic Minister Zhang finds out, won't he praise us lavishly?"

Hyuga Hisaharu said with a serious expression:

"Daimyo's Estate has so many warehouses, but we found the richest treasure room. We never expected to find so much gold and silver jewelry. We're all rich now! Let's hurry and meet up with Minister Zhang. Also, be careful of those members of the 'Fat Water Squad.' They seem to be trying to make a quick buck in our area. The high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants of the Land of Fire are all the property of the Police Force. We can't let them steal it."

Hyuga Hisaharu's team ran towards the palace of the Land of Fire again, intending to tell Shouhon Yihan the news.
