Chapter 389 A Myriad of Phenomena? A Perplexing Situation
"No, are you sure those ninjas were here?" In front of a simple and unadorned mansion, Chishima pointed at the gate and looked at Karin with surprise.
He thought the other party was going to take him to the residence of the Minister of Hongming, but he didn't expect to end up at the residence of his lord, Lord Mengzong.
"This is it. But just now, those guys left the mansion! Now, there's only one person's chakra reaction left inside." Karin nodded in confirmation, causing Chishima's expression to change again and his heart to churn.
Why, why would the highly respected Lord Mengzong have connections with ninjas? Could it be that he hired other ninjas to protect the Daimyo, Lord Ruga?
"Let's go. Since we're here, come with me to meet Lord Mengzong." Suppressing her doubts, Chishima decided to observe the situation first.
The three of them, including Xianglin, had no objection to this and followed him into Mengzong's residence!
But when they met the so-called Lord Mengzong of Chishima, Karin's expression froze and her eyes showed suspicion.
The high monk Mengzong actually possesses chakra? Is this guy also a ninja??
Meanwhile, several kilometers away.
"Konoha Jonin, why are you stopping me?"
"Why? To solve the problem, of course! I hate wasting time on small fry like you." Ishikawa said mockingly, staring at the burly man opposite him. "So, are you going to abandon the mission voluntarily, or do you want me to do it?"
That nobody in the background, whose name he didn't even know, made him miss the fourth generation's wedding! How infuriating!
"Trash? Hmph, is this the arrogance of a great nation's ninjas?" The burly man snorted, his tone cold. "You have no idea the suffering of us wandering ninjas. We've finally managed to have our own ninja village, and I will not allow you to ruin our plans."
"Die, you brat from Konoha!" the burly man roared, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, "All Things in the Universe: Assimilation Technique..."
"All Things in the Universe!!" Upon hearing this, Ishikawa's expression changed slightly, his gaze filled with astonishment. Such an arrogant ninjutsu—could the opponent be a hidden master?
While Ishikawa was still in a daze, he saw the burly man opposite him suddenly shrink back and spin at high speed, shouting "Assimilation - Rock Chariot".
"Is that Choji's technique?" Ishikawa was taken aback again, watching the high-speed rock hurtling towards him as his right eye rapidly formed hand seals and his long sword was drawn. "Lightning Release: Lightning Arrow..."
A streak of white light flashed past, followed by a thick bolt of lightning that cleaved the stone projectile in two mid-air, the explosive current simultaneously turning it into countless fragments of rock...
"That's it?" Ishikawa looked at the burly man who had been instantly killed, speechless. He had thought it was some powerful ninjutsu, but it turned out to be just a showpiece.
Just as he was about to sheath his sword and leave, he saw countless pebbles suddenly rise into the air behind him. "Assimilation - Iwabuki Snow..."
In an instant, countless fragments of stone shot out at high speed like a dense barrage of bullets, causing Ishikawa to frown and throw out his white tooth.
In the blink of an eye, countless fragments of rock struck Ishikawa's body, leaving him seemingly a ghostly figure!
"What?! Where is he?!"
The next instant, the burly man, who was rapidly reassembling his body from the rubble, cried out in shock.
Before he could react, a sharp white and blue blade suddenly appeared and pierced his chest.
"How could this be? So fast!!"
The burly man stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he looked at the long, white blade that had pierced through his chest by the broken petrification spell.
"Fast? Well, it is, after all, that is the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage..." Ishikawa explained with a faint smile, his gaze fixed on the Flying Thunder God Technique inscription on the hilt of the White Fang Longsword.
This was the result of his cultivation efforts, which he had overcome numerous failures to finally succeed in imprinting.
"Impossible! It's actually the Yellow Flash space-time ninjutsu!!" Instantly, the burly man's eyes bulged as if he had seen the Grim Reaper.
Is Konoha about to produce another legend comparable to the Yellow Flash?
"Hehe, why is it impossible? Perhaps you are witnessing the birth of a legend." Ishikawa smiled calmly, trying to flatter himself, and then activated the Eye Seal with his right eye.
He was very interested in this assimilation technique that encompassed all things in the universe...
"Tch, I really shouldn't have had any hope for these nobody background characters." After a moment, Ishikawa sheathed his long sword and grumbled with a dark expression.
The so-called "Assimilation Technique of All Things" is actually just a pretentious smokescreen.
The name sounds impressive, but the truth is that it uses illusions and props to deceive the enemy's eyes, while the real person hides in the shadows and secretly performs hand seals to create similar ninjutsu effects.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If these wandering ninjas really had some powerful ninjutsu, they wouldn't be stuck as background characters, hiding and plotting everywhere!
“Well then, it’s time to go see that so-called daimyo. It’s just a routine task, we’re already here, so it’s not unreasonable to make some money, right…” Ishikawa muttered as he turned and left, pulling the burly man deeper into the ground with a hand seal formed by his right eye.
In the burly man's memory, he had already seen the ins and outs of this coup...
The next day, on the beautiful lakeside where birds and animals frolicked.
"Are you sure Lord Mengzong is a ninja?" Chishima asked anxiously, staring at Karin. Upon seeing her nod, she felt as if the sky had fallen...
How could the high-ranking monk Mengzong, who helped Lord Ru succeed to the position of daimyo, possibly be a ninja?
But if that's the case, why would they conceal this information? Damn it, what's going on here...?
"The target is here! It's the daimyo's palanquin." Just then, Ino's warning instantly drew the three's attention.
As instructed by Meng Zong, they were to secretly protect Daming to prevent anyone from plotting a coup.
But when she saw the person beside the sedan chair, Chishima's expression changed drastically. "It's Minister Akira. How come the Daimyo is with him?"
Hongming is a powerful minister from the Bird Kingdom who is attempting to overthrow the daimyo, Hebi-sama, and is also the mastermind behind their mission.
Just as Chishima was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Karin's pupils shrank and she looked surprised!
"What's wrong, Karin?" Hinata asked anxiously upon seeing this. Could it be that Minister Akatsuki had kidnapped the daimyo?
Ino and her client, Chishima, also glanced sideways, sensing something was amiss.
After exchanging glances with the three, Karin sensed them again and finally gritted her teeth, "That cursed samurai is the daimyo!!"
"What?!"
Instantly, Ino and Hinata, including Chishima, gasped in disbelief.
The daimyo is a ghost? How...how is that possible??
“Ghosts can deceive, but chakra cannot,” Karin reminded him with a determined look. “Our mission is to exorcise ghosts. So, let’s capture the Daimyo first!”
With a low shout, Karin, her expression disheveled amidst the Thousand Island wind, unleashed her full power and charged straight at the Daimyo's vehicle.
Although Ino and Hinata were still a bit confused, since Karin had made a move, they naturally followed suit and launched their own attack...
