Chapter 58: Uchiha Itachi, here to pay a visit! (New book seeking collection!) "You want... to kill the Daimyo?" Meow-san's eyes widened, its soft fur standing on end as if it were startled. "Yes, is that strange?" Xia Yan replied calmly. "Of course it's strange!" Meow-san jumped up in surprise. "How can a ninja kill the Daimyo?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Why not?" "But he is such an esteemed person, how can you attack him?" Meow-san was astonished and quickly said, "Xia Yan, don't do this. We can actually use the Leaf Village's channels to negotiate with them. Please don't go to extremes..." Listening to this, Xia Yan just smirked. The Hokage world is strange. As representatives of power, the ninjas are supposed to treat the Daimyo and other national leaders as their own parents. Even the Sand Shinobi Village, angered by the Daimyo's reduction in support, did not consider killing the Daimyo.
Not only the Sand Shinobi, even the renegade ninjas seemed to value the Daimyo's safety. When Toya intimidated everyone, he discovered some means targeting the Daimyo. But he didn't lay a hand on him, instead only killing the peripheral nobles, officials, and merchants. But if you ask why they couldn't kill the Daimyo... Xia Yan: "Why can't we kill the Daimyo?" Meow-san naturally replied, "The Daimyo is so esteemed, of course we can't attack him... It hasn't come to that point, right?" Yes, the reason why they couldn't do this was laughably based on the "esteem" of the Daimyo. Of course, this is not surprising. Many of the ideals in the Hokage world are similar to a certain island country in the previous life, which was known as a "modern feudal state." The members of parliament have the same surnames, monopolizing local power. If you investigate the Prime Minister's background, it's easy to find that their ancestors were all high-ranking politicians. But Xia Yan is a transmigrator from that great nation where "nobles and officials are nothing special!" "If someone dares to attack me, then it's only right for me to fight back and beat them to death, isn't it?" Xia Yan's mouth curled up. Meow-san felt extremely anxious. Its self-awareness told it that Xia Yan shouldn't do this. But it couldn't stop Xia Yan, so it could only say, "Then Xia Yan, how about I ask Akatsuki... I can offer them more rewards, maybe they will accept your mission." "It's useless." Xia Yan shook his head. "We can't afford it for now." Attacking the Daimyo, 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 Daimyo is a different level of mission compared to eliminating officials and nobles. Uchiha is indeed wealthy. Even though Xia Yan 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, Xia Yan 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 Daimyo 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 Xia Yan would never do something as threatening as the Daimyo. Only someone as cruel and arrogant as Uchiha Itachi would do such a thing! So Xia Yan 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 Daimyo resided. And soon, the guards stopped him.
"What kind of person are you?" The guard asked arrogantly, "What are you doing here?" Xia Yan calmly replied, "I am here to see the lord." "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." "You dare to come and see the lord without saying anything? Don't you know who you are?" The guard exclaimed. "Oh, me." Xia Yan slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of sinister Sharingan eyes. "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 lord. 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 lord's mansion? But... Why attack the lord? The lord was so noble that even if ninjas fought and killed each other, it shouldn't involve him! "It's not an enemy attack." The lord calmly said, "Relax, it might just be someone accidentally triggering something..." As the lord, 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 lord's feet. Surprisingly, it was the samurai who had just been sent to investigate! "Who is it?!" The lord 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 cold footsteps echoed. "I heard that the lord has been targeting the Uchiha clan's properties recently, presumably because you have some dissatisfaction with the Uchiha." Xia Yan's figure slowly appeared. He calmly glanced at the lord and the ninjas and samurais who were on high alert beside him. "Uchiha Itachi, here to pay respects." ... Great discounts on books for the Dragon Boat Festival!
