"Hello,"

Shimizu Akihiro nodded directly and looked at the other party, guessing the true purpose of the Land of Sea.

"Your Excellency, you are a mere lord and I, the next daimyo of our Land of Sea is here to congratulate you on your taking over Kadan Island. Is this the kind of treatment you provide?"

Seeing the other party's neither salty nor bland appearance, Kawahara Fujiro frowned and said. He was dissatisfied.

"You and I are both nobles, and we should have some courtesy among nobles."

As if he was afraid that Shimizu Akihiro might not understand, Kawahara Fujiro continued to explain.

After saying that, he stood up straight and acted like an elder. He believed that he was older and wiser than the lord of Kadan Island, and the tone of his words was naturally not concealed.

"Since you are a noble, when you come to visit, you should put etiquette first."

Kitano Ichiro had always stayed in the daimyo's household before and he also knew the aristocratic etiquette, but with just the first contact, he was disgusted by the next daimyo of the Land of Sea.

"When the master speaks, the subordinates should not interrupt."

"Your Excellency, if I were you, I would just beat this talkative slave with a cane."

Kawahara Fujiro glared at Ichiro Kitano, as if he felt that his identity had been tarnished, and turned to look at Shimizu Akihiro.

"Too bad you're not me."

Shimizu Akihiro replied calmly and then looked at Kawahara Fujiro as if he were an idiot. Isn't this guy going a little too far to test him? Doesn't he know that after testing his patience to the limit, he might really make Akihiro an enemies for himself?

However, Kawahara Fujiro obviously hasn't realized this yet. He came here this time just for his daimyo father's request to confirm the identity of the lord of Kadan Island who dared to kill the ninjas of the Kaguya clan and was not afraid of revenge. He wanted to gather more details about the incident.

Shimizu Akihiro's words made Fujiro Kawahara look extremely embarrassed, but then he immediately recovered and looked at Shimizu Akihiro deeply.

In his eyes, the lord of Kadan Island is just a young man who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. He actually provokes a future Daimiyo because of a guard samurai. If it were him, he would never make such a choice.

"If that's the case, Your Excellency, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Kawahara Fujiro did not continue to pursue Ichiro Kitano. After glancing at Ichiro Kitano again, he turned to Shimizu Akihiro.

"My father, the daimiyo of the Land of Sea, heard that Your Excellency became the lord of Kadan Island and wiped out the Hoshino family that caused trouble. He specially ordered me to send you a congratulatory gift."

Although Kawahara Fujiro did not pursue Ichiro Kitano's matter, it did not mean that he gave up his plan to test Shimizu Akihiro. As he spoke, he took out a pearl from his arms.

The pearl looks very ordinary, with no characteristics at all. It is obvious that it is a pearl that can be found in any market in Icewood City.

"This is a pearl found by the warriors of our country of the sea from the deep sea in the south. Although it is not precious, it is still our sincere thought."

Kawahara Fujiro was very serious about what he said. Although he had clearly stated that these were ordinary pearls, he still held them up with both hands, pretending that it's a peerless treasure.

Seeing Kawahara Fujiro acting like a clown, Shimizu Akihiro couldn't stand it anymore.

"Do you know what the result of doing this is?"

Shimizu Akihiro raised his eyebrows, looked at Kawahara Fujiro, and asked calmly.

"Um? I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kawahara Fujiro was puzzled. This was different from what he thought. According to his plan, if the lord in front of him wanted to secure his position, he should accept it or reject it. Whether he accepts or rejects it is up to him. If it goes as expected, he has a way of leading the other person by the nose, but what does this sudden sentence mean?

"It seems that the Land of Sea is not very well-informed. Otherwise, you would never want to come and give me any congratulatory gifts."

Seeing that Kawahara Fujiro seemed to really not understand what he meant, Shimizu Akihiro touched his nose and simply said relaxedly.

"What?"

Kawahara Fujiro still didn't know why, but he seemed to have some bad premonitions in his heart.

Seeing Shimizu Akihiro shaking his head, Kitano Ichiro spoke up, "Do you know how many ninjas we killed from the Kaguya clan?"

"We don't have any idea." Fujiro Kawahara looked at Ichiro Kitano questioning him in this tone, and suddenly frowned in displeasure, but he still replied in a deep voice.

"Fourteen ninjas in total."

"Just Fourteen? Phew."

Hearing Kitano Ichiro say fourteen, Kawahara Fujiro breathed a sigh of relief. It was much less than he expected.

'It seems that the power of the lord of Kadan Island is not as powerful as imagined. My Land of Sea has hired hundreds of ninjasfourteen and he only killed fourteen.'

Kawahara Fujiro thought with disdain in his heart.

"Yes, if I guessed correctly, all eleven members of the Blood Bones Squad should be at the Elite-Jonin level."

Kitano Ichiro nodded and continued. When he followed His Highness to Kadan Island, he was attacked by a female rebel ninja at the elite chunin level. The pressure put on him by those Kaguya clan ninjas was obviously not comparable to that of the female rebel ninja before.

"Elite-Jonin?"

"Hey, hey, stop joking. How could it be elite-jonins? How could you kill enemies of that level? Don't lie to me."

Kawahara Fujiro trembled all over after hearing this, suppressing the fear in his heart, he shook his head and said. He didn't want to believe Ichiro Kitano's words at all. Although the Land of Sea could afford hundreds of ninjas with its overwhelming power, they were all mostly chunin ninjas. He and his subordinates couldn't even afford many jonins, and this guy actually told me that they had just killed eleven elite-jonins... Kawahara Fujiro couldn't believe it no matter what.

If what Kitano Ichiro said is true, then this Kadan Island will definitely become the target of Kaguy clan's revenge, and even the Daimiyo of the Land of Water will not be able to protect Shimizu Akihiro.

And the Land of the Sea is still showing goodwill to Kadan Island at this time, while at the same time having the stimulation to test this guy, both sides are definitely offended by him at the same time.

Thinking of this, Kawahara Fujiro wanted to slap himself a few times.

"It seems that being poorly informed really kills people."

Seeing the look on Kawahara Fujiro's face, Shimizu Akihiro sighed.
