Chapter 58: 'Uchiha Itachi' visited the Daimyō
"You want... to kill the Daimyō?"
Meow-san's eyes widened, its soft fur standing on end as if it were startled.
"Yes, is that strange?" Natsuo replied calmly.
"Of course, it's strange!" Meow-san jumped up in surprise. "How can a ninja kill the Daimyō?"
Natsuo raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Why not?"
"But he is a person with enormous influence, how can you attack him?" Meow-san was astonished and quickly said, "Natsuo, don't do this. We can actually use the Konohagakure's channels to negotiate with them. Please don't go to extremes..."
Listening to this, Natsuo just smirked.
The Ninja World is strange. As people with enormous power, ninjas must still treat Daimyō and other national leaders as if they were superior to them.
Even Sunagakure, constantly affected by reduced financial support, did not consider putting pressure on the Daimyō.
Not only Sunagakure, even the rogue ninjas were very careful before even threatening the Daimyō's safety.
In the original work, a group of wandering ninjas called Watari ninjas had to spend a lot of time carrying out a complex conspiracy in order to have the opportunity to take over the Land of Birds. But despite having the power to easily kill ordinary people, they always hesitated before doing anything to the nobles or the Daimyō.
Natsuo asked: "Why can't we kill the Daimyō?"
Meow-san naturally replied, "The Daimyo is a noble, of course we can't attack him... It hasn't come to that point, right?"
Yes, the main reason they couldn't do this was ridiculously based on the 'nobility' of the Daimyō.
Of course, this is not surprising. Because the Ninja World is a world based on a feudal system.
Because Natsuo is a transmigrant, of course something like 'nobility' wouldn't stop him, but he's also not foolish enough to ignore the enormous influence the Daimyō have on the world. As long as he does not have the power to wipe out the entire Ninja World, he cannot openly go and threaten or kill the Daimyō.
"If someone dares to attack the Uchiha clan, then it's only right that 'someone' retaliates, isn't it?" Natsuo's mouth curved into a smile.
Meow-san felt extremely anxious. His common sense told him that he shouldn't let Natsuo do this.
But it couldn't stop Natsuo, so it could only say, "Then Natsuo, how about I ask Akatsuki... I can offer them more rewards, maybe they will accept your mission."
"It's useless." Natsuo shook his head. "We can't afford it for now."
Attacking the Daimyō, as the leader of the country, is equivalent to attacking the entire nation and would lead to hostility from the entire country.
Even for mercenaries like Akatsuki, attacking the Daimyō is a different level of mission compared to eliminating officials and nobles.
The Uchiha clan is indeed wealthy. Even though Natsuo spent a lot and also diversified into the home appliance industry, he still has several hundred million in cash.
But this level of mission reward is not something that can be solved with just several hundred million. He can't come up with this reward!
"I have to do it myself..."
...
Dressed in black, Natsuo walked slowly towards the capital of the Fire Country.
Before leaving, under Meow-san's numerous requests, he finally relented and said he could negotiate with the Daimyō to see if they could resolve the issue.
If the negotiation goes well, he will be there for communication. If the negotiation fails, he will be there to kill.
Of course, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Natsuo would never do something as dangerous as threatening the Daimyo.
Only someone as cruel and arrogant as 'Uchiha Itachi' would do such a thing!
So Natsuo transformed into the face of Uchiha Itachi, wearing the uniform of Akatsuki, and even wore the forehead protector with a scratched-out symbol. This outfit is quite fitting!
He walked straight towards the palace where the Daimyō resided. And soon, the guards stopped him.
" Who are you?" The guard asked arrogantly. "What are you doing here?"
Natsuo calmly replied, "I am here to see the Daimyō."
"Oh? Pay respects to the lord? Do you have a letter of request for an audience?" The guard hesitated and asked.
"I don't have a letter."
"No letter? Then are you from a noble family?"
"Not really."
"Do you dare to come to see the Lord without saying anything? Do you think he can see anyone?" The guard exclaimed.
"Oh? He will receive me." Natsuo slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of sinister Sharingan.
"I am Uchiha Itachi..."
The next second!
[Boom!]
Intense flames soared into the sky, accompanied by a loud explosion. The deafening sound was heard clearly even by the Lord inside the tower.
He trembled and angrily shouted, "Who is it?"
"Go and see what happened!"
"Yes!" Immediately, guards appeared and went to investigate.
At the same time.
Several ninjas appeared, standing beside the Daimyō. Their eyes showed a hint of vigilance and surprise.
They also knew that the ninja world had been in turmoil recently, with conflicts between major countries, on the surface and in secret, almost leading to direct warfare.
Could it be that someone wanted to attack the Daimyō's mansion?
But...
Why attack the Daimyō? Don't they know that there is an agreement not to attack the Daimyōs? Even if the fights go to the extreme, the nobles cannot be threatened. If it comes to that, the other Daimyōs will put a bounty on their heads, and they will be hunted throughout the world.
"It's not an enemy attack." The Daimyō calmly said. "Relax, it might just be someone accidentally triggering something..."
As the Daimyō, he naturally understood that the ninjas would not harm him.
How could ninjas possibly harm him? The chaos in the ninja world was the ninja world's problem. The ninjas could fight and kill each other, but it shouldn't affect him.
However, at this moment!
[Boom!]
A figure was thrown from the gate, crashing through the door and sliding all the way to the Daimyō's feet.
Surprisingly, it was the samurai who had just been sent to investigate!
"Who is it?!"
The Daimyō was furious. Who dared to intrude into his tower and offend his noble existence like this!
But the next second!
[Tap, tap, tap...]
The sound of footsteps echoed in the room.
"I heard that the Lord has been targeting the Uchiha clan's properties recently, presumably because you have some dissatisfaction with the Uchiha." Natsuo's figure slowly appeared.
He calmly glanced at the Daimyō and the ninjas and samurais who were on high alert beside him.
"I, Uchiha Itachi, have come here to pay my respects to your excellency."
