The Ugly Daimyo, Daughter of the Chinoike Clan

Chapter 29: The Ugly Daimyo, Daughter of the Chinoike Clan

Land of Lightning.

Daimyo's residence.

Deep within this residence, a symbol of power, the daimyo revered throughout the Land of Lightning was kneeling before a seductive woman like a lapdog, tongue hanging out as he panted like a dog. His expression and movements made him look like a real dog.

"Give it to me, hurry! Give me more pleasure!"

The Blood Dragon Eye erupted with terrifying ocular power, instantly casting another genjutsu upon the Land of Lightning's daimyo and once again plunging this man, who held the highest authority in the Land of Lightning, into illusory bliss.

"This disgusts me. I want to kill him right now. Father, may I?"

The shadow stretched long by the candlelight reached into the corner, entwining seamlessly with the darkness. From that pitch-black gloom, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of the shadows.

"Not yet. You are only four months pregnant. Without the child being born, you have no right to inherit the daimyo's position, regardless of your status or identity."

"Hehe, you truly are such a wonderful father. For the sake of a plan, you can even sacrifice your own daughter."

"Sacrificing one person in exchange for the Chinoike Clan's stability for centuries is worth it. If necessary, I would even sacrifice myself. Do not doubt my loyalty to the clan."

"Of course I do not doubt it. Otherwise, I would never have agreed to your plan."

The seductive woman fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Father, you should pay attention to that foolish woman's younger brother. He has hired Uchiha ninja from the Land of Fire. If we clash with the Uchiha before the plan succeeds, the Chinoike Clan may be erased from the Warring States era."

The figure in the shadows said, "He is merely a brat from the Uchiha Clan. He cannot affect our plan."

The seductive woman sneered. "Your intelligence may be outdated. Before yesterday, he was indeed just an Uchiha brat, but after today, some Uchiha ninja may have come to the Land of Lightning. That Shinteng Zoi added one hundred million ryo to the mission. You should start thinking carefully about how to deal with the Uchiha."

"Uchiha..."

As he spoke, the figure completely merged into the shadows and vanished.

"Karui, how many people are still willing to obey my orders?"

A woman whose figure and appearance were nearly identical to the seductive woman stepped out from the shadow behind her.

"Lady Qian Hong, your father's methods are far too forceful. Aside from my squad, everyone has already defected to your father."

"Is that so? Do you think Father's scheme will succeed?"

"This subordinate does not know."

"You may leave for now. If there is any new intelligence, report it to me immediately. If things cannot be done, I will take all of you and leave the Land of Lightning. I will not let you be buried alongside the Chinoike Clan."

Karui said nothing and silently departed.

Gazing at the Land of Lightning's daimyo, who was immersed in the genjutsu's pleasures and whose life force had grown faint, Qian Hong smiled lightly and murmured, "A person like you is truly fortunate. From the moment you were born, you had endless food to eat. When you were hungry, someone would bring delicacies to you. When you were tired, servants would attend to you."

"Do you know? I have gone hungry before. That feeling was truly awful."

"So, I envy you. I want to replace you and become the daimyo of the Land of Lightning. I want to experience what it is like to live with endless food to eat."

"Before Father's plan succeeds, I will personally kill him. That way, I can be considered to have avenged you, and you will not think I never gave you any thought."

There were countless ninja clans like the Chinoike Clan during the Warring States era. To survive, the most important thing was supplies.

Yet they did not possess enough strength to take on many missions, so food shortages were common. Most of the time, the elderly and children had to go hungry, since food had to be prioritized for the young people capable of fighting.

Qian Hong smiled lightly as she caressed the Land of Lightning daimyo's cheek.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Land of Lightning daimyo's residence, word came that among the Uchiha ninja hired by Shinteng Zoi, one girl had left the group and returned to the Land of Fire. Shinteng Zoi had added one hundred million ryo to the mission and required more Uchiha Clan ninja.

Qian Rou's face darkened. "Even a little bug wants to ruin my plan."

"Lady Qian Rou! That woman possesses the Dead Bone Pulse and is not weak. Most of our forces are currently tying down the ninja raised by that woman at the daimyo's residence. We cannot send out a complete squad."

"The situation in the Land of Fire is not much better than in the Land of Lightning. The Uchiha Clan is powerful, but they are not without rival clans. Besides, the Senju Clan is watching them. The Uchiha cannot possibly deploy all their elites..."
