Less than ten minutes.
The base of [Cado Company] that made the entire [Land of Waves] tremble suddenly collapsed...
Dozens of wandering samurai and several genin rebels from Xiaoyin Village were all killed.
Natsume didn't take any action during the whole process.
If you want to kill these small characters, you have to do it yourself.
It's simply killing a chicken with a big knife and making a fuss out of a molehill.
Although these guys look fierce, there are quite a few of them.
But he could only rely on the power of swords and weapons to bully the unarmed people.
Any chuunin can catch them all in one fell swoop.
What's more, Gin also has special jounin-level strength.
It is completely easy to destroy such a stronghold of ordinary evil forces.
soon.
Covered in blood and full of murderous intent.
With a kunai in his left hand and a big man's silver in his right hand, he stepped out of the sea of ruins and fire.
"Young Patriarch, all the enemies have been killed."
"It's just that the one named Kado was not found."
"This is the manager of this stronghold. He is still alive and should be able to ask for a lot of information."
Yin dropped the big man in his hand to the ground.
The opponent's legs have been destroyed by him, and it is impossible to escape again.
What's more, in front of a chuunin, two special jounin, a jounin, and Natsume whose overall combat power is unknown.
Let alone such an ordinary person.
Even if it were the Five Shadows, it was hard to say whether he could escape.
"Great, I thought you were going to kill them all."
"Yes, staying rational in anger and never being dominated by anger is what a qualified ninja should look like."
Natsume was also quite pleased to see Gin grow a little bit more after being baptized in blood.
only.
Natsume was a little surprised that the big bully from Kado was not here.
However, think about it carefully.
Only then did I realize that I had also been misled by empiricism!
As a bully boss who controls a large multinational group.
Why do you think that the other party should always stay in [The Country of Waves]?
This [Nation of Waves] is just one of the small countries that he secretly controls.
Although, the initial plot of Naruto did take place in the "Land of Waves".
But, that was five years later.
The [Cado Company] has only recently taken control of the [Land of Waves], and it does not regard this place as its core stronghold at all.
Therefore, it is normal for the other party not to be here.
Thinking of this, Natsume's face darkened slightly.
However, fortunately, the steward was caught alive, and the other party should know the exact whereabouts of Cardo!
"Well, one of you will torture me."
"I have a kind heart and can't bear to torture him."
Natsume said with a wave of his hand.
In fact, the main reason is that I am afraid that before the information is revealed, I will accidentally kill this guy.
"Let me do it."
Uchiha Tsukihime, who had always been silent, spoke up.
Natsume nodded and led the rest of the people to leave.
Leave the living mouth to Yue Ji.
…
Just a moment.
Natsume and others standing far away heard screams coming from the ruins.
"Ah!~~~~"
The voice was like weeping and resentful, heartbreaking and painful.
It's as if as a man, his most precious 'capital' has been severely destroyed.
Hearing this, Natsume and the others felt their lower bodies go cold, and they involuntarily tightened their legs.
Even half of his body was filled with blood and murderous Yin.
They couldn't help but feel discouraged for a moment, their hearts trembling.
…
Less than three minutes.
Tsukihime came back and brought back the information Natsume needed.
That is, Cardo's whereabouts and the company's headquarters.
After determining the destination.
The group of people immediately rushed towards their destination without saying a word.
Only a large group of citizens of the Kingdom of Waves were left behind, staring blankly at their retreating figures and the ruins that were still burning with raging fire.
After a long time, everyone was relieved, crying and laughing, overjoyed.
——
—
At this moment, [Tang Country].
Inside the headquarters of [Cado Group].
"Snapped--"
Cardo slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, pointed at the subordinate in front of him, and asked angrily.
"What?!!"
"The company's stronghold in [Way Country] was destroyed?"
"what happened?"
The subordinate quickly replied in a trembling voice:
"The specific situation is still unclear. The telegram came from over there saying that the stronghold was violently attacked!"
"The attacker is a suspected ninja!"
"Now that the connection has been severed, the group there has probably been wiped out!"
Kado was startled and then continued to be furious.
"Trash, all rubbish!"
"There are so many samurai, but they can't even defeat a single ninja?!"
"What exactly? Who is against me?!!"
"Are they those people from the Kingdom of Waves, the ninjas they hired?"
"Impossible! Those guys are so poor, how can they afford to hire ninjas!"
"That's a hostile company? It's quite possible..."
Cardo gritted his teeth and guessed.
Unfortunately, there is no way to know for sure.
In his opinion, even if it is really a method of competing companies, it is too bad and breaks the rules!
Just like the vicious competition between two multinational companies in Xia's current life.
It may involve smearing, suppressing, stealing intelligence, or even hiring some mercenary killers to silence them... It's all normal.
But it would be outrageous for you to directly ask a ninja to take action!
It's like paying a sky-high price to hire the special forces of the Wuchang Kingdom to attack.
Who can withstand this? ! !
"President, the important thing now is not to find out who did it."
"But hurry up and take precautions!"
"What if, what if those ninjas come here, we'll be in trouble!"
This little guy, whose IQ was barely above the level, quickly reminded him.
"Yeah."
"We must quickly strengthen our defenses!"
"Hurry up and ask Ru... no... hurry up and post a bounty mission and invite me more ninjas!" Cardo urged anxiously.
"But, President, hiring a ninja is not cheap!"
"Moreover, the five major countries. Even if we think about it, they won't allow it! It's even too late!"
Cardo was furious.
He kicked the opponent hard and yelled:
"Damn it! Why do you still care about whether it's expensive or not?"
"Just invite me, it doesn't matter how much you spend! If you can't invite ninjas from the five major countries, aren't there still so many rebellious ninjas? How come you can't invite them?"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
The subordinate quickly climbed out on his hands and knees and hurriedly called for help.
…
【Yun Country】is located in the northeast of 【Way Country】.
It is also an island country surrounded by sea.
However, the land area is much larger than that of the Kingdom of Waves, and the population is many times higher.
Among the more than ten island countries in the surrounding large sea area, it is second only to the "Water Country" among the five major countries.
And due to its special location, it is also the maritime trade center of many island countries.
Many large shipping companies are located here.
This [Cado Group] is naturally no exception.
After Natsume and his party left [Way Country], they directly hijacked a large cargo ship belonging to Cardo Company.
Then he headed towards [Tang Country].
The cargo ship sailed all night.
Finally, early the next morning, we arrived at a port in the Kingdom of Yu.
Visible to the naked eye, the port here is much more prosperous than that of the Kingdom of Waves.
Nearly a hundred cargo ships, large and small, are moored at the port, loading and unloading cargo.
"Young Patriarch, what should we do?"
"The employees on the ship should know where the headquarters of Cardo Company is. Let them lead the way and we will go directly there."
"good!"
Soon, the group boarded the port and headed inland.
However, it didn't go very far.
Natsume suddenly stopped a few people and reminded them loudly.
"There are many ninjas approaching, all with murderous intent."
"It seems that Cardo Company already knows that we are coming."
"Get ready to fight!"
