Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 215

c214 Praise without name, enter the court without bowing, sword and shoes enter the palace

(This chapter is not badly written, it is a transition chapter)

The battle with Kakuzu naturally ended with the victory of Hozuki Shingetsu.

Even if Kakuzu was finally beaten to true fire and summoned all four black mask clones, he was still no match for Hozuki Shingetsu.

Hozuki Shingetsu even defeated Kakuzu without even opening the Sage Mode and the Vulpix Mode.

There was no other way. With the completion of the normalized practice of the Water Chakra Mode, the blood circulation and metabolic rate in Hozuki Shingetsu’s body can be said to be improving every day, so his physical fitness can also be said to be improving bit by bit every day.

Hozuki Shingetsu’s current physical fitness can be said to be about 30% stronger than two years ago.

In this case, the mine chakra mode was activated, but the speed was enough to defeat Kakuzu, and even no other ninjutsu was needed.

Hozuki Shingetsu sometimes often sighed that his original wish was to become a turret mage ninja, but he never expected that he had come up with a water chakra mode to strengthen his melee weakness.

But with step-by-step training, now he actually makes himself look like a barbarian from the Hidden Cloud Village, without the elegance of a mage-type ninja, which makes Kizuki very upset. He can only look forward to changing after he has cultivated the Sage Mode and it becomes normal.

“How is it? Have you found out any news?”

In the capital of the Land of Water, the middle minister Matsubayashi Tatsuya looked at the servant who had just gone out to find out the news, with an anxious face.

Ever since he heard the news that the second prince Mizutsutomu was going crazy and massacring the relatives of the daimyo, Matsubayashi Tatsuya knew that the game about the succession of the daimyo’s position had reached the final moment.

Especially after he heard the news that Mizutsutomu led soldiers to attack the castle tower, he instantly understood Mizutsutomu’s idea.

The fact that the daimyo has not given in when he is so critically ill means that this is the only way that Mizutsutomu can think of to ascend to the daimyo’s position.

If Mizutsutomu came out of the castle tower alive, he would immediately come out and prepare for the ceremony of the new king’s enthronement; otherwise, he would rush to Mizutsutomu’s house to express his loyalty.

“…Sir, Prince Mizutsutomu came out of the castle tower!”

This simple sentence immediately made Matsubayashi Tatsuya make an inner decision.

“Quick! Prepare the car and go to the second prince’s house!”

…

At this moment, not only this middle minister, but also other non-royal nobles and senior officials in the capital received this news.

At the same time, Mizutsutomu, under the control of Blood Pond Ryoma, issued a formal announcement to the outside world:

The eldest prince Mizutsutomu was ruthless and regarded the training of the daimyo in the past as suppression of him, so he took the opportunity to poison the daimyo, which was also the fundamental reason why the daimyo was unwell recently.

And he didn’t stop there. He believed that the reason why the daimyo hated him so much as his eldest son was because of the “slander” of the royal family around him every day, so he slaughtered all the royal family in the city.

Even when the daimyo was seriously ill, he tried to sneak into the castle tower to kill the daimyo. Fortunately, the presence of Kirigakure Kizuki Shingetsu prevented this conspiracy.

After being captured, Mizu Masahiko was questioned by Kizuki Shingetsu, and he was ashamed and found his conscience, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide in the place of detention.

And the daimyo Mizu Keita also died of anger due to Mizu Masahiko’s various behaviors.

So, the position of daimyo fell on the head of the second prince Mizutofu.

When the nobles and officials in the city heard this news, they couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air, which made a significant contribution to the warming of the ninja world.

Everyone is an old fox, so they naturally know who was responsible for the massacre of the royal family in the city.

What Mizu Masahiko started first, and also wanted to assassinate the daimyo secretly, but fortunately Kirigakure Kizuki Shingetsu stopped him, and then both of them died… Do you really think they just eat, sleep and play with women every day?

Behind this series, who doesn’t know that it was you Mizutofu who did it?

Although everyone had a certain estimate of Shui Dufu’s cruelty, they never expected him to be so cruel!

After all, it’s okay if you say you killed your eldest brother, Shui Yayan is your direct competitor, so it’s reasonable to kill him.

But the killing of all the clansmen with the right of inheritance in the city, and most importantly, the killing of his own father, really made all the nobles in the city shudder.

All the royal families in the city, his own eldest brother, his own father… He directly wiped out his own clan!

That is to say, Uchiha Itachi has not appeared yet, otherwise these two people can compete for the title of the strongest filial son in the ninja world.

But it was precisely because of this cruelty that the surviving nobles in the city decided to visit the future daimyo and express their loyalty to him.

After all, if they don’t know what’s good for them, they can figure out what Shui Dufu will do to them.

——

A week later, the castle tower.

Nobles and officials gathered, all dressed in formal attire, silently lined up in two rows, waiting at the entrance of the castle tower.

The items and buildings in the castle tower that were originally destroyed by blood and fighting had already been repaired by people working overtime this week.

Not only repairing, but all the places that could be renovated were urgently renovated. Where is the castle tower today, which was covered with blood and corpses last week?

And it is here, today, that Shui Dufu officially takes over as the daimyo and sits on the throne.

The purpose of these noble officials standing here is to wait for Shui Dufu, who went out to pay tribute to the previous king, to come back and officially sit on the throne.

In the initial contact with Shui Dufu in the past few days, the noble officials also had a deeper impression of this second prince.

He has a bad temper and a narrow mind. His character is even worse than before.

Because just a few days ago, he chopped off the heads of several nobles in front of everyone.

The reason is that these people were the last to pledge allegiance to him. He thought that these people were only obedient in appearance but not in heart, so he forced his men to chop off the heads of these people in front of the noble officials.

This move immediately shocked the surviving noble officials and made them pay more attention to their words and deeds, for fear that they would anger him in some aspects and cause their families to be imprisoned.

“Here we come!”

At this moment, the sound of ritual music came from the distant streets. Everyone present realized that Shui Dufu had returned from worshipping their ancestors, and immediately cheered up to welcome the new daimyo.

“Welcome to the daimyo!”

When the sedan chair came in front of everyone, everyone knelt down according to etiquette. They didn’t want to play a three-tribe elimination game because of such a small matter.

But to their surprise, the person who came out of the sedan chair was not Shui Dufu!

It was actually Hozuki Shingetsu!

And Hozuki Shingetsu was dressed in military uniform, wearing armor and carrying a ninja sword on her waist!

Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the nobles kneeling in front of her and smiled inexplicably.

“You…”

In shock, someone immediately stood up and wanted to rebuke Hozuki Shingetsu, but Shui Dufu immediately stood up from behind Hozuki Shingetsu.

These two people actually rode in the same sedan chair!

When the man saw Shui Dufu appear, he quickly held back what he wanted to say, knelt down in a panic, and slammed his head on the ground.

However, because Hozuki Shingetsu was standing in front of Mizutsu Fu at this time, the group of people seemed to kneel down to Hozuki Shingetsu.

Mizutsu Fu seemed to turn a blind eye to all this. After a simple return of greeting, he just passed everyone and took Hozuki Shingetsu through the long passage to the inner hall of the castle tower and sat on the throne.

Of course, Hozuki Shingetsu stood at the lower left.

The people who followed him also filed in and stood in the order of the past.

Naturally, someone here noticed Hozuki Shingetsu’s dress, especially his standing position and the ninja sword on his waist, which was undoubtedly against the rules.

However, thinking of the fact that the two of them had just ridden in the same sedan chair, the officials who wanted to stand up and accuse him thought about it and shrank back.

Sure enough, the first order issued by Mizutsu Fu after becoming the daimyo was about Hozuki Shingetsu.

“… Hozuki Shingetsu, the adopted son of the former king, is extremely loyal and brave, and is polite and self-disciplined… Special permission is granted to praise and worship without a name, enter the court without walking, and enter the palace with a sword and shoes, and grant the title of prince!”
