Chapter 26 His Royal Highness the Kingdom of Fire! 4000 chapters
Fenghuo City, the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, is derived from the meaning of Fenglin Volcano: it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. It is an unyielding fighting spirit!
What’s interesting is that one of the vertical couplets posted in front of the office door of the strongest man in the Land of Fire also has the four characters Feng Lin Huo written on it.
Maybe this is the spirit of the Fire Nation!
The distant horizon is gradually turning white, and the grass and trees are nodding towards the rising sun.
A majestic giant city rose on the horizon, and a loud "creeping" sound was heard. The huge city gate slowly opened like a giant beast's mouth, revealing the ferocious teeth inside.
After a while, a carriage drove slowly in accompanied by the early morning wind.
At this moment, the curtain on the right side of the carriage was gently rolled up, and a head gently poked out, looking around curiously.
"What! There's not even a soul in Windfire City this early in the morning! Boring!" Kurama Masakiyoshi retracted his neck and drooped his head, looking listless.
After Uchiha Mitsuki heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. No one was there? He closed the book and followed Kurama Masaaki's gaze.
The field of vision was filled with the dark blue color of early morning, the streets were deserted, and the shop doors were closed as if by appointment.
At first glance, it seems like there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact it is extremely weird.
This is the famous Wind and Fire City in the Kingdom of Fire. This time should be when the stores open their doors to attract customers. Not to mention the busy traffic, people are coming and going.
At least it won't be like now, where the whole street has no visitors and no business people, and it's full of coldness and desolation!
After looking at it for a few times, Uchiha Miyue withdrew his gaze and immersed himself in the book in his hand. At this time, his nostrils twitched slightly, and a smell of blood hit his nostrils. He muttered secretly:
'It seems that Fenghuo City has become completely chaotic...'
With this thought in mind, he was about to speak to remind everyone when the carriage suddenly stopped. Hinata Huimu held up the curtains and his eyes flashed: "Lord Jian Yue, His Highness will come to greet you in person!"
The corner of Uchiha Mitsuki's mouth curled up. At this juncture, the attitude of Konoha Village, the strongest fighting force in the Fire Country, was definitely a very important bargaining chip. His Highness dared to bypass others and cut off people directly. He was either a fool or a fool.
A smart ruthless man!
When he got off the carriage, he suddenly felt that the originally dark sky seemed to be getting darker. When he looked closely, he saw that there were many people surrounding him in darkness.
At this time, a man in his early thirties, wearing a black kimono, was walking at the front. Seeing that no one was getting off the carriage, he fixed his eyes on the young man in the Xingyue kimono with some doubts, and then walked straight towards the noble man.
An angry young man came over.
'Why are you coming directly towards me?'
Uchiha looked startled when he saw the moon, glanced down slightly, and suddenly understood that he was wearing a noble kimono, so it would be strange if he was not the leader!
"Ninja-sama, you have worked hard all the way! We have prepared meals at home, please be sure to enjoy them!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Uchiha Mitsuki, and they saw the young man put the book in his hand into his arms without hesitation, and said with a smile: "His Highness's kind intention, we dare not shirk, we can only bother you"
Your Majesty, please don't blame me!"
His Highness listened to the young man's flawless and polite reply. His previous doubts disappeared. He carefully watched the young man in front of him:
I saw the young man's sharp eyebrows and slender eyes, red lips and white teeth, a little baby fat on his cheeks, a flash of light in his dark eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth. At first glance, he was a shrewd person who was difficult to deal with!
At the same time, Uchiha Mitsuki was also looking at the man who had been staring at him for a long time. He looked very capable and domineering in his black kimono.
A passerby's face has a pair of distinctive eagle eyes. When he smiles, he looks like pink peach blossoms, his eyebrows are charming, and when he is angry, he looks like a stormy sea, which is breathtaking.
Tsk tsk, you can see that he is someone who can achieve great things!
If he were not a ninja of Konoha, but a counselor in the troubled times, he would definitely say to the great hall, I choose you~
After a while of greetings, everyone arrived at His Highness's residence.
Looking at the mansion in front of him, Uchiha Mitsuki muttered in his heart:
'A bit shabby!'
He was as far away as Konoha and had heard how magnificent the residence of His Highness the Third Highness of the Fire Country was. Comparing it with the house in front of him, it seemed that His Highness was either really poor or just for fame. He always acted in the worst possible way.
to speculate on the malice of others, so he believes the latter more.
While he was imagining things, a group of women were already waiting in the living room. At the front stood the beautiful hostess Narumi Nanami. When they saw them approaching, the group of women bent down and saluted.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Uchiha Mitsuki saw His Highness's first gaze pass through the hostess and land on a thin woman in the crowd, and he quickly looked away as if he had a guilty conscience.
His smile suddenly turned cold, and true knowledge can be seen in the details. The ancients never deceived me!
'Your Highness, I have just been here for a while, and you can't wait to expose your weaknesses. Isn't that bad?'
He stopped and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we have been facing the wind and dust all the way. I wonder if we can choose a maid to bring tea and water."
His Highness was absent-minded and replied casually: "It's all right!"
Uchiha Mizuki casually pointed his finger and landed directly on the woman of His Highness's liking, and said calmly: "Just her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, His Highness's face changed slightly, and anger flashed in the eagle's eyes.
The hostess Nanami Narumi nodded gracefully, turned to the crowd and said, "Reiko, you will take care of the ninjas during this time."
A woman named Reiko stood up from the crowd of women, walked slowly in front of a few people, and said in a voice like an oriole: "Yes, madam!"
His Highness, Uchiha Miyuki, looked calm, but suddenly he felt evil in his heart, and continued to tease: "Reiko? What a good name!"
He stroked Reiko Hosokawa's cheek with his hand, smiled brightly, ignored His Highness's tense body, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness and Madam!"
At this time, His Highness realized what Uchiha Mitsuki meant, and a turmoil arose in his heart!
'Just now, did he actually catch my eyes looking at Reiko in an instant? Will he use Reiko to blackmail me? It seems that we must find an opportunity to get rid of him!'
"Are you thinking of how to get rid of me? Your Highness!" The young man's cold voice rang in his mind like a bell.
Suddenly, his hair stood up and his scalp became numb. He felt as if his soul was frozen, and even his consciousness was blurred.
'How is this possible! How could he know? Reiko! No, I have to cheer up and I must protect you!'
Thinking of Reiko, he opened his eagle eyes, quickly recovered, and looked on guard against Uchiha Mitsuki with a look of horror.
At the same time, seeing His Highness get rid of his voice illusion in an instant, Uchiha Mitsuki was secretly surprised: 'The will is so strong! What a character!'
As if nothing happened, he smiled with an unknown meaning.
'What is he laughing at? Could it be that he sees Reiko's position in my heart?'
His Majesty felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave for an instant. It was obviously April in the world, and the chill in his heart could not stop coming out, as if he was naked and rolling in the ice and snow!
This young man can actually see into people's hearts!
No wonder the third generation Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, dared to send such a young man as an envoy to Wind Fire City to wade through this muddy water to participate in the dispute over the inheritance!
————
Uchiha Mitsuki was contentedly admiring His Highness's fear, and turned to look at the doubtful hostess Narumi Nanami, and suddenly had concerns in his heart.
This woman must not be allowed to see the relationship between His Highness and that Reiko, otherwise it will add many variables.
So he cast his admiring gaze on Narumi Nanami and said warmly:
"Madam is truly the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is a perfect match for His Highness. Youdao means that beautiful skins are all the same, and interesting souls are unique. What I want to say is an elegant person like Madam! No wonder His Highness praised Madam all the way.
There’s more to come!”
After hearing the words of the young man in front of her, the doubts in Narumi Nanami's heart disappeared in an instant. She glanced at His Highness shyly and laughed so hard.
At this time, His Highness was filled with doubts, wondering why Uchiha Mitsuki wanted to rescue him.
'It seems that he doesn't want to be my enemy. He deliberately chose Reiko, which should be a warning to me. If I invited them into the house earlier, others would assume that I have the support of Konoha.
I originally wanted to use this to put pressure on the third child, but I didn’t expect him to react so quickly! Things may change tonight, so we should take action as soon as possible!’
His Highness breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed. He carefully recalled what the young man had just said.
He didn't expect that a ninja could say such touching words. But in his heart, Reiko was the woman with a useful and beautiful soul.
…
After a hearty meal, Uchiha Mitsuki arranged for Hatake Sakumo and others to go to the city to collect intelligence.
He and His Highness sat in silence in the bamboo forest in the courtyard. The delicate Reiko was playing with the tea set and casting adoring glances at His Highness from time to time, but His Highness pretended not to see it.
Gee, that’s interesting. Isn’t this a drama about a maid falling in love with a young master, but the young master can only turn a blind eye because he is afraid that his beloved girl will get hurt?
But he looks like a villain?
Uchiha Mitsuki laughed at himself.
At this time, His Highness said coldly: "Back off!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Hosokawa Reiko took small steps and left slowly.
Watching the woman leave, Uchiha Mitsuki pre-emptively said, "Your Highness, I'm invited to come here. What do you want to discuss with me?"
The expression below the hall turned cold, and he warned in a deep voice: "If you touch her, you will die!"
Uchiha saw the moon brushing away the bamboo leaves that had fallen on his shoulders, and smiled wildly: "Your Highness, you are joking! How can I have the courage to touch your beloved? I first came to your place, and I felt a little uneasy. I just wanted to be with you.
Your Highness is just making a deal."
"She is not a bargaining chip in the transaction! Please respect her!" His Highness narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone became extremely serious.
Seeing the man's reaction, Uchiha raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, you don't intend to lie to me? As long as you say you don't love the woman just now, I will believe that you don't love her."
His Highness stretched out his hand to catch a piece of bamboo leaf and snorted coldly: "Are you kidding me? You said you lied, how could you still believe my words?
What's more, for a smart person like you, if I say I don't love you, you will definitely come to the opposite conclusion, so why should I deceive myself?"
Uchiha saw the bright moon and smiled: "Since His Highness treats you so sincerely, I won't hide it from you.
Lord Hokage sent a few of us here this time because he didn't want the Kingdom of Fire to be in chaos due to a few highnesses seizing the heir apparent.
The task I received is to protect the daimyo. For other matters regarding lining up, Your Highness had better not come to me.
Before leaving Konoha, Hokage-sama told me many times not to interfere in the affairs of the Land of Fire!
So I hope Your Highness will not make it difficult for me! Otherwise, Miss Reiko will become a pitiful victim!"
"It's just a woman. If you want to kill her, go ahead! As for your claim that you only protect the daimyo, do you think I will believe it?"
His Highness sneered and lowered his eyes: "Did you know that just last night, my second brother and my fourth brother's family, a family of sixteen, were dragged to the downtown area like dead dogs and had their heads chopped off for baseless reasons.
As their brother, His Highness the Third Highness of the Kingdom of Fire, even his nephews were not spared! The heads of his relatives rolled to the ground, and his eyes were filled with blood! He could even clap his hands happily!
Do you think you who have already lived in my house will not be liquidated in the future?
In this city, all the powerful and powerful people who do not want to die must choose a side to fight, and you are no exception! This is the current rule of Wind and Fire City."
Seeing the moon, Uchiha's face remained as usual, he stood up and said calmly: "Rules? His Highness seems to be joking again, why should the ninjas of Konoha care about the rules of Wind and Fire City!
As for protecting the daimyo, whether you believe it or not is up to your highness. Who dies and who dies has nothing to do with us!
I also forgot to remind His Highness that I am a disciple of the Third Hokage and the younger brother of Tsunade Senju, so Your Highness will not embarrass me!"
After saying this, Uchiha Mizuki turned around and left in a relaxed manner, without any concern for His Highness's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
His Highness looked at Uchiha Mizuki who was leaving calmly, his eagle eyes crossed, and his tone became more threatening: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Hearing His Highness's threat, Uchiha Mitsuki turned around and smiled brightly, completely fearless: "When Your Highness is staring at death and wants to kill someone, is Death also staring at you and Miss Reiko? Your Highness must be careful!"
He sneered and turned away, leaving His Highness with a free and easy figure.
A gust of wind blew by, and the falling bamboo leaves gradually fascinated His Highness's eyes.
Looking at the lush green bamboo forest, His Highness no longer looked angry as before. He leisurely filled a cup of tea and admired the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest.
He gently dipped his index finger into the tea and wrote two words on the desk:
Three, die!
…
As soon as Hinata Haimu returned to his residence, he hurriedly looked for Uchiha Mitsuki.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Uchiha Mitsuki sitting there quietly reading a book. His impetuous heart instantly calmed down. He walked softly to Uchiha Mitsuki, lowered his head and said:
"Lord Jian Yue, the situation in the Country of Fire is a bit confusing! Last night, His Highness the Second and His Highness the Fourth Highness of the Country of Fire were beheaded for colluding with the Mist Ninjas! It's simply unbelievable! The most ridiculous thing is that none of the Mist Ninjas were caught.
!”
The young man in front of him did not raise his head and continued to read the book and asked: "Who is the murderer?"
"Your Highness, Third Prince!"
Seeing the young man shake his head, Hinata Haimu quickly added with conviction: "The whole city knows!"
The young man closed the book and looked at him calmly: "Sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not be true!"
