Seize the Daimyo Palace of the Land of Water First
The waiting period always seems relatively long, but for Feng and his subordinates, they hoped it would last even longer, giving them more time to perfect their work.
But time waits for no one, and the Ninja World won't wait for them just because they're not ready.
Just two days later, Yuki Rō brought the latest news from Hidden Mist Village: the Fourth Mizukage and Elder Genji will engage in their final battle in two days.
This amount of time was too tight for Feng and the others, as the matters concerning the Sea Country had not yet been fully resolved.
Especially in terms of government affairs, Shimizu Takeshi is too old and just an ordinary person. He spent two days just traveling here, not to mention that government affairs are inherently the most tedious matters, and it won't be resolved quickly...
In short, there were just too many miscellaneous things to handle.
But time was tight and the opportunity was rare, so even though he wasn't fully prepared, Feng still held another meeting to make arrangements.
"Everyone, the final battle in Kirigakure is in two days."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we can't just sit idly by and wait.
Therefore, Bosawa, Kengo, Shimizu Takeshi, the Sea Country is now in your care. Maintain stability and guard it well, and make sure nothing goes wrong.
Then, Uncle Yashiro, select the outstanding individuals from the Prisoner Camp over the past two years and incorporate them into the Guard Corps and Samurai Corps to expand manpower. The remaining Prisoner Camp will still be under your command.
Jianshi, Inabi Uchiha, bring all your people and I will secretly infiltrate the Capital of the Land of Water with you. Ayaka, come along too.
Hidemasa, you and your Samurai Corps will remain in the Sea Country, awaiting my orders.
Everyone else, please finish your work and wait here quietly without making any unnecessary movements until I give you further instructions.
Disband!!"
Feng didn't waste a single word throughout the entire process, and immediately after finishing his speech, he announced the disbandment and began taking action.
After all, now is the time when speed is of the essence and time is of the essence; there is no room for delay.
Half a day later, in an inn in the Capital of the Land of Water.
"My lord, we have been gathering intelligence on the Land of Water for some time now."
Therefore, we have thoroughly investigated all 387 noble families, including the daimyo, within this capital city.
The Ōe Clan, a family of Daimyo of the Land of Water...
The Scout Corps leader Asai, reported all the intelligence he had gathered to Feng.
Feng frowned slightly, listening attentively, occasionally asking about relevant details.
The Land of Water is not like other small countries. The daimyo is surrounded by many powerful ninja guards, so he must be cautious and careful to prevent news of the attack on the Daimyo Palace from leaking out.
After learning about the situation in the Capital of the Land of Water, he closed his eyes and began to think carefully.
After a long while, Feng finally opened his eyes and said:
"Well, it's not difficult to occupy Daimyo Palace, or even a country. The difficult part is how to avoid attracting attention from others afterward."
However, I already have a plan. I'll have everyone be careful to conceal their identities later, and reveal Shang Ren's identity if any problems arise.
Tomorrow night is the decisive battle in Kirigakure, so let's act tonight without delay.
Uncle Yashiro, Taro, and Jianshi, you will take the Mobile Unit and the Prisoner Camp, divide into three teams, and secretly infiltrate the three main gates of the capital. After nightfall, quickly take control of the gates, allowing entry but not exit.
Asai, Inabi Uchiha, you two will lead men with me to attack the Daimyo Palace. The Scout Corps will be responsible for controlling the Imperial Residence, and the Royal Guard will be responsible for controlling everyone Imperial Residence.
Ayaka, keep Mind's Eye of the Kagura active throughout the operation to ensure no one escapes.
Everyone, let's begin our operation in the dead of night. Now, let's all rest and recharge. I hope that after tonight, this capital city will be under our control!
Did you understand?
"Understood! My lord!" the group replied in hushed tones.
"Very good, everyone is here. Rest."
At Feng's command, everyone immediately began looking for a place to rest.
Late that night, the city gates of the Capital of the Land of Water, guarded by a group of ordinary people and samurai, were attacked by a group of exceptionally skilled ninjas.
The result was self-evident: the city gates changed hands almost without alerting anyone.
Meanwhile, outside the Daimyo Palace in the capital, Feng had already quietly surrounded the area with his men.
Inside the Imperial Residence, there were several Guardian Ninja with the strength of Jonin, and a total of about two hundred people including Chunin, Genin, and samurai with ninja skills.
In addition, there were nearly a thousand ordinary guards.
The overall security of the Imperial Residence is quite good.
If we disregard the beacon fires, it would be extremely costly for Scout Corps and Royal Guard to capture this place.
But with the enemy's presence, it will only be a massacre with no suspense.
"Asai, Inabi Uchiha, Ayaka, take this Kunai and hold on tight."
Before taking action, Feng distributed several Flying Thunder God Kunai to everyone.
Then...
Shadow Clone Technique
Lightning Release: Chakra Mode
He split into five Shadow Clone, then activated speed buffs on all of them, and spoke again:
"The appointed time has arrived, everyone! Proceed according to plan. I will lead the way, and you follow closely. If there are any troublesome enemies, throw this Kunai, and my Shadow Clone will take care of them."
Ayaka, Mind's Eye of the Kagura at full power, don't miss anyone.
Having said that, he took the lead and launched an attack on the Daimyo Palace.
The Royal Guard and Scout Corps followed without hesitation, their movements perfectly synchronized and without a sound.
They had trained under Feng for many years, and the discipline and obedience were ingrained in their very bones.
Meanwhile, the daimyo's Imperial Residence in the Daimyo of the Land of Water had been at peace for many years, and the last time it was attacked was many years ago.
Therefore, although the guard force was not weak, the protection was not very tight. There were only a few ordinary guards at the gate, and they were even dozing off.
"Enemy--"
An alert guard sensed something was wrong and tried to shout, but ultimately failed to make a sound.
Only a thin red line that had appeared on her neck at some unknown time was spurting out warm liquid, which splashed onto the ground and made a slight noise.
For ordinary people, this commotion is barely noticeable.
However, there were many ninjas within the Daimyo Palace, including some with powerful sensory abilities, so...
"Intruder!"
"Intrusion!"
The barely perceptible commotion was detected by the sensory ninjas inside the Imperial Residence, followed by a cacophony of shouts that quickly awakened all the guards in the Imperial Residence.
Before long, when Feng and his men had captured the outer courtyard of the Imperial Residence, the gates of Imperial Residence inner courtyard opened by themselves, and more than a hundred assembled Guardian Ninja and samurai poured out, followed by several hundred ordinary guards.
The leader of these men was a burly man with white hair. Without further ado, he shouted, "How dare you attack the Daimyo Palace 'Lord Daimyo! Die!"
With a roar, he completed hand seals and unleashed Water Release Ninjutsu with at least A-rank power.
His subordinates were also using Ninjutsu, some throwing Kunai Ninjutsu Kunai.
But Feng was even faster. The moment the enemy appeared, his five Shadow Clone unleashed the Ninjutsu they had been charging up for a long time.
"Ninja Art: Formless Sword Intent" x5
Thanks to the ' Charging Fox ' within his body, Feng's five Shadow Clone Chakra had ample chakra, and the Ninjutsu they released was naturally at full power.
In addition, there's his Sharingan, whose dynamic sensing ability is unparalleled.
Thus, the countless Ninjutsu he unleashed with his iron sword completely blocked and destroyed the Ninjutsu and Kunai thrown by nearly a hundred enemies.
Following closely behind were his subordinates' various Ninjutsu, Kunai, Shuriken, and other weapons, which directly caused enormous damage to the enemy.
Furthermore, among these ordinary Kunai were several Flying Thunder God Kunai that had been thrown by Feng.
"Flying Thunder God Technique"
"Whoosh!" "Swish!" *N
Almost immediately after the Ninjutsu attack, Feng's main body and five Shadow Clone flashed into the enemy camp.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, already elusive and difficult to defend against, becomes even more challenging under the cover of darkness.
No matter how dense or powerful the enemy's swords, Kunai, or Ninjutsu, they could never touch the hem of his clothes.
While Feng's flashes, almost once or twice per second, are far less frequent than Minato Namikaze's multiple flashes per second, he is currently a veritable Death God of the night. His long sword is like Death God, reaping the lives of several enemies with each swing.
Qie Feng specifically targeted those in the enemy camp who were loud and boisterous.
"Stop... stop him! Ah--" It was practically a death sentence for whoever opened their mouth.
Then...
"A ghost... a ghost!"
Someone let out a scream, and the weak, ordinary guards were the first to collapse.
They threw down their weapons and scattered in all directions, some even kneeling on the ground, covering their heads with their hands, trembling with fear.
The group of several hundred men suffered over a hundred casualties in just a few breaths, with the rest scattering like birds and beasts.
Feng didn't even glance at them.
Asai and Uchiha Inabi have already surrounded the Daimyo Palace's palace with their men, and those who scattered have no way to escape.
As a result, the courtyard was filled with corpses, blood, and the stench of blood.
Meanwhile, Feng continued his relentless attacks on the daimyo's Guardian Ninja and samurai who were still putting up a stubborn resistance.
These people weren't much stronger than ordinary guards when facing the Flying Thunder God; they only slightly slowed down Feng's slaughter.
However, it's not that they're too weak, but rather that the Flying Thunder God Technique is too overpowered.
Without Kage Level strength or any special abilities, anyone facing the Flying Thunder God Technique is practically as good as a roadside dummy.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
The strongest enemy, the white-haired burly man who had blocked Feng's casual strike, suppressed his fear and growled.
Feng did not answer. He simply flashed away from the white-haired strong man's sight and reappeared on another part of the battlefield to continue wielding his sword and reaping kills.
In the blink of an eye, several more enemies were killed.
