The Kingdom of Wind, Daming Mansion.

At the top of the castle, a figure sat cross-legged without any cover, with a black suitcase beside his hand. Dry wind kept blowing from a distance, rolling up the corners of his black coat.

Kakuzu's eyes radiated a green light, and he saw a team hurriedly running out of Daming Mansion. Judging from the direction they were running, it was obvious that their destination was Sunagakure Village.

"Do you want to go to Sand Hidden Village to bring in reinforcements? I didn't expect that someone like him, the highest authority in the Kingdom of Wind, would be so unafraid."

Kakuzu originally thought that the Daimyo of the Country of Wind could continue to support himself for a while under his intimidation, but he did not expect that the plan would go more smoothly than expected. Such a simple matter would make the Daimyo of the Country of Wind feel fearful.

Or is it that the higher the position, the more afraid of death?

No matter which one it is, as long as the goal is achieved.

Although this method cannot be called a royal method, under normal circumstances, Kakuzu will just find the debtor himself very rudely and carry out endless debt collection.

This debt collection mission is obviously different from the past.

On the surface, it is just a debt collection mission, but in fact it is a secret contest between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind.

Kakuzu found the behind-the-scenes of this incident more and more interesting.

The Kingdom of Wind does not want to pay off the debt owed to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts ostensibly wants to collect the debt, in fact it also hopes that the Kingdom of Wind will take a tough stance and not pay off the debt.

Seeing the guards of the Daming Palace rushing towards Sunagakure Village, Kakuzu did not go up to stop them.

The daimyo of the Land of Wind, who was threatened by terror, summoned the ninjas of Sunagakure Village to protect his safety. This was only an expected action.

"Next, it's up to you. You can try adding more ingredients."

Kakudu turned his head and said to the air.

Behind him was a humanoid clay doll with half of its body exposed on the floor. After hearing this, he quietly slipped into the floor and disappeared.

The only sounds of deep sleep could be heard in the dark room.

In every corner of the house, there are ninjas squatting almost everywhere.

Because of what happened in the morning, they were collectively reprimanded severely by the Dai Ming of the Kingdom of Wind. They also hated the people who secretly posted 'pay back' notes to the Dai Ming Mansion indiscriminately.

Due to the occurrence of this kind of thing, people in the Daming Mansion were in panic all day long and did not dare to breathe loudly. The Daiming's face was gloomy all day long, and finally he had no choice but to ask for help from Sand Hidden Village.

Compared with the ninja guards of Daming Palace, Sunagakure Village has more soldiers, which can replace the ninja guards of Daming Palace and ensure the safety of Daiming himself.

But this is definitely not a good thing for the ninja guards of Daming Mansion.

If the ninjas from Sunagakure Village came to take their place, it would not only mean that they were derelict in their duties, but it would also mean that their abilities would be questioned, which would affect their lives.

Therefore, they need to be 100% attentive in the next step and not allow people in the dark to disrupt the peace of Daming Mansion.

Just as they were guarding tightly, a human head poked out from the wall without any sound in the gauze tent. Its pale yellow eyes did not shine in the darkness. With the help of the gauze curtain, the surrounding people were not exposed.

Guard alert.

The head protruding from the wall is none other than Shiraishi's Earth clone, General Earth.

Although it was in a dark environment, General Tu could see everything here clearly.

For artificial humans, there is no big difference between night and day, and it will not affect their vision.

The surrounding ninja guards were squatting at the location. Through its sensing ability, it directly formed a radar map and presented it in its mind. It successfully avoided their defense lines and directly invaded the location of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

The earth general's head poked out from the wall, and his face was exactly opposite the face of the daimyo from the Kingdom of Wind who was resting on the bed below.

Under General Tu's observation, he was entering a deep sleep, with a deep tired look on his face. He was probably frightened by what happened during the day.

Without any hesitation, General Tu stretched out his hand from the wall, holding a piece of rice paper on it, and gently covered it on the chest of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

Only the sound of sleeping sound came from the other party, and he didn't notice anything was wrong.

Coupled with the opponent's obviously overweight body, he looked like a dead pig while sleeping.

General Tu continued to stretch out his hand, lightly wiped something on the neck of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, and smeared something on it.

The other party just scratched his neck, but there was still no reaction.

"...Huh...Huh..."

There was still only the slight sound of sweet sleep, and it looked like he was having a sweet dream.

The general continued to move without pausing, and placed all the decorations on the bedding, bed board, and walls according to Kakuzu's instructions.

After doing these things, General Tu spent a total of two minutes.

After thinking about it carefully, he found that what Kakuzu had told him was almost completed, and there was nothing left to arrange.

As a result, General Tu's body slowly sank into the wall, as if he had never appeared before, silently.

Morning.

A horrified shout came from the room where the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was, immediately breaking the peace of the morning.

"Lord Daimyo!?"

The ninja guards jumped out of the darkness one after another and came to the daimyo's bed. Their pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw a red note with the word "death" written on it on the chest of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

There is still red blood stain on the neck of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind. The blood stain has dried on the neck. It has obviously been there for a long time.

Not only that, there are many words on the wall near the bed.

Die die die die die die die——

Countless words of death overlapped on the wall, and some blood spattered, like swaying flowers of hell, looking very ferocious and terrifying, like a curse to kill.

"What on earth is going on? Didn't you make sure everything was perfect last night?"

After being extremely frightened, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind suddenly had a terrifying look in his eyes, glaring at the ninjas half-kneeling in front of him, gritting his teeth and turning pale.

"This...this..."

The leading ninja was in a cold sweat and didn't know how to explain it.

In fact, he also became panicked.

There's no way this is going to happen.

As the leader of the ninja bodyguard of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, not only has his strength reached the Jonin level, he is also a sentient ninja himself.

It was impossible for someone to hide from his perception and quietly approach the Daimyo of the Country of Wind, or even use this method to intimidate the Daimyo of the Country of Wind.

But the development of the facts has exceeded his expectation.

His perception ninjutsu didn't detect anyone approaching last night. Could it be that the enemy's sneaking ability surpassed his perception ninjutsu?

How is this possible? It must be just an accident.

"You have really disappointed me. You have allowed the enemy to succeed again and again and climbed on my head to do whatever you want. I will fine you half a month's salary. No complaints, right?"

The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and made his tone calm.

"I'm extremely sorry, Daimyo-sama! We won't let the enemy succeed next time!"

The leading ninja lowered his head deeply and did not dare to breathe due to the authority of the daimyo.

"Humph, I hope so, let's go down."

"yes."

The leading ninja disappeared from the place with his people and continued to squat in the dark to protect the safety of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

Each and every one of them was useless. The Daimyo of the Country of Wind was even more dissatisfied.

He was completely disappointed with the ability of this group of ninja guards. It seemed necessary for Sunagakure Village to cultivate better ninjas to serve as his guards.

After calming down the shock and anger in his heart, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was about to get out of bed, get dressed, and go out to take a bath to wash away the blood stains on his body.

Suddenly, his fingers touched something on the bed board.

That's a piece of paper.

There are two words clearly written on it - pay back the money.

The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind looked so gloomy that he couldn't say a word. He put the paper in his hands, squeezed it hard, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it several times with his bare feet, making the wooden floor make a thud.

Sound, venting the anger that has been accumulated in my heart for a long time.

…

The daytime passes quickly.

Everyone in Daming Mansion, including the guards and maids, lived in a strange atmosphere.

They didn't know much about what happened to the daimyo, and even if they did, they didn't dare to say anything more.

The night came, and for some reason, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind couldn't help but feel panic when he saw the darkness of the night. He subconsciously touched his neck and found that everything was normal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The ninjas from Sunagakure Village are already on their way. If they can survive tonight, everything will be peaceful tomorrow.
To be continued...
