On the morning of December 25th, Year 55 of the Konoha Calendar, the main hall of the Inner City, the capital of the Country of Ina, is Ina Castle.
The incomplete introduction ceremony is completed, and the following is the banquet.
Yamazaki, the ceremonial officer, announced on behalf of the daimyo that the officials' banquets would be held in the inner hall, and the banquets of other people would be held in the courtyard.
No one will object, and no one will notice what happened to Takeami Yoshimi and Takigakure for a while. …
Underground shelter.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi came down and explained their suspicions about Takegami Girei to Takayama Tomoya and others.
"Just suspicion?" Takayama Tomoya asked.
"That's how I feel." Mei Daizi said, "However, I have no feelings for Takeami Yoshimi."
Kikuchi Tadashi smiled bitterly and said: "This, this is not good."
"We think it's enough," Yamazaki said, "and if Takeami is not eliminated, Meidaiko and I will probably die."
"I agree with this. This is a matter of who takes action first." Takayama Tomoya smiled, "Yoshimi Takeami wanted to wait a few years before talking, but I didn't expect that the two highnesses would take action now, and they even dealt with Takigakure together."
"Because they are with Takeami Yoshimi," Yamazaki said, "and they are seeking revenge for the ninja soldiers who were killed by the seven human pillars."
"That's what I'm talking about," Kikuchi saluted loyally, "On behalf of the Ninja Army, I would like to thank Your Highness."
The eleven high-ranking Ninja Army officials also had expressions of gratitude in their eyes. They had their chakra sealed by Yuki He, were tied up tightly, and even their mouths were blocked, so they could only express with their eyes.
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "The main thing is that this opportunity is great."
Takayama Tomoya said with emotion: "Speaking of which, it's fortunate that your highnesses didn't tell me, otherwise I would never have agreed. The Seven-Tailed Human Pillar is invincible in my eyes."
"If you can't do it openly, just do it secretly." Yamazaki said, "Killing is actually really simple."
"By the way, look at this." Mei Daizi showed off the bean sprout-like cactus flowers on her hair, with six-winged insects wrapped around its roots.
Kikuchi Tadashi asked: "What is this?"
Mei Daizi said: "When I killed the Nanao Human Pillar, a ball of blood squeezed out of his wound, and it became like this. I felt chakra fluctuations, so I grabbed it and caught the bug. It wanted to sting him at the time. As for me, Xiaohua caught it."
Xiaohua arranged her body, looking happy but embarrassed at being praised.
Of course, this is just Mei Daizi's opinion.
Takayama Tomoya said: "If I guessed correctly, this should be Nanao."
Mei Daizi asked: "Hey? Doesn't this insect only have one tail? Does it have six wings?"
"I don't know." Kikuchi Tadashi said, "To be honest, our understanding of tailed beasts is limited."
"The reason why I say it is a tailed beast is because tailed beasts have no entity, they are just chakra." Takayama Tomoya said, "According to the information that the shogun heard from the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the tailed beast's host died. At that time, if the tailed beast cannot escape from the host's body in time, it will die with the host, and then a young tailed beast will appear on the tailed beast's altar, slowly accumulating chakra and growing into a new tailed beast."
"Then, if it is a tailed beast, then it will want to escape," Yamazaki pondered, "that is to say, it is actually conscious."
Kikuchi smiled loyally and said, "According to His Highness, the tailed beast is still afraid of death."
"You're right. Maybe the tailed beasts weren't afraid of death in the first place, but after being in contact with people for a long time, it's not surprising that they become afraid of death." Tomoya Takayama said with a smile, "The six-winged insect now is probably mainly the consciousness of Nanao, because The seven human pillars died too quickly, and the Nanao's huge chakra could not be brought out."
"In order to prevent Takigakure from noticing, we have to kill it, no, no, wait, can we keep Nanao?"
Kikuchi Tadashi became more and more excited as he talked about it. With Nanao, the power of Ina Country has greatly increased.
"Calm down, this won't work," Tomoya Takayama said, "The tailed beasts are too dangerous. I'm afraid that before the tailed beasts grow up, the Human Power Pillar will mess up the Ina Country."
"Then," Kikuchi Tadashi hesitated and sighed, "I'm really unwilling to do so."
Xue He said with a smile: "Why are you unwilling to give in? Isn't there still His Highness Mei Daizi? The tailed beast is now in the hands of His Highness."
"Hehe, it's just convenient." Mei Daizi gestured proudly.
"It's just good luck." Yamazaki said, "Now let's talk about the next thing."
"Yes," Meidaizi said, clenching her fists, "Our task now is to capture Takegami Girei and torture him."
"It's useless," Yukaku said, "People at the level of Takejo Girei have ninjutsu, and they will die immediately if they are tortured."
Kikuchi Tadashi said: "Yes, this is actually to protect them, because then the value of catching them will be low."
Mei Daizi asked: "Then my brother and I also have it?"
Takayama Tomoya said: "Not yet, maybe when you are older."
"What should we do now?" Yamazaki asked.
Takayama Tomoya said: "Your Highness, don't worry. I want to know if the matter is related to Takegami Girei. It's actually very simple. It only takes one bluff to deceive him. Even if he doesn't say anything, the look in his eyes and the expression on his face will reveal it."
"That's right, this matter, for Takegami Girei," Kikuchi loyally said through gritted teeth, "it must be a matter of pride and affection."
Mei Daizi said: "Okay, then I'll summon him."
Takayama Tomoya said: "No, Your Highness, leave this matter to Kikuchi. Find a master of imitation and use real makeup techniques to make up Takeami Yoshimi to meet Takeami Girei."
Kikuchi Tadashi asked: "Wait a minute, are you sure that Takegami Yoshimi doesn't know about this?"
Takayama Chiya said: "I trust His Highness's intuition."
"Okay, okay, let's give it a try." Kikuchi said excitedly. …
Inner city, courtyard.
When Girei Takegami was drinking and chatting with his friends, he found his father Yoshimi Takegami coming over with a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Come with me."
"Yes, Father."
After a while, it was quiet and deserted.
Takeami Yoshimi shouted: "Kneel down!"
"Father?"
"Kneel down!"
"Yes." Takegami Yirei knelt down unwillingly.
"Do you know why you are asked to kneel down? I suddenly realized a question. Is father's death related to you?"
"this……"
"explain!"
"Father, I..." Girei Takegami hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything. Then he realized that something was wrong. His father, Yoshimi Takegami, had no patience with him. If he lingered for so long, he would definitely give himself a slap in the face.
"You, you, are not my father!" Takegami Girei stood up in excitement and immediately formed a seal to launch an attack to prevent the matter from leaking out.
Suddenly, four hands appeared from the ground, grabbing Girei Takegami's feet and pulling them, causing Girei Takemi to lose his balance.
However, Takegami Girei did not fall down, and four more arms stretched out from the soil and grabbed his body.
"No! Father, come and save..." Takegami Girei realized that this was Kikuchi's loyal subordinate. He felt anxious and quickly called for help, but was dragged underground before he could finish his words. …
Underground shelter.
Kikuchi Tadashi's eight subordinates sent Takegami Girei to Yamazaki, Midaiko, Kikuchi Tadashi, Takayama Tomoya, and Yukaku. The others and the bodies were moved to the next room.
Kikuchi loyally stopped Takegami Girei and said, "Tell me, how did you die, sir!"
"I don't know what you are talking about. If you just grab me here like this, my father will definitely settle the score with you."
Takegami Girei looked around without fear, and then said to Meidaizi and Yamazaki, "Your Highnesses are attending. Please forgive me for not being able to salute."
Gao Shan Zhiya said: "It seems that I won't say it easily. Then Xuekei, I will leave it to you."
"No problem, I will execute him without touching the spell on him." Snow Crane said, "It may not be useful for a real ninja, but for a pampered person like him, it should be enough."
"No, you can't do this!" Wu Shangyili was anxious.
"We can. It will take a long time for your father to find this place." Takayama Chiya said.
"Bastard!" Takegami Girei gritted his teeth.
"Not good." Xue He realized something was wrong, and immediately pinched Wu Shang Yili's mouth, and found that Wu Shang Yili had bitten a curse seal in his mouth.
"What kind of message seal is this? Can it be stopped?" Takayama Tomoya asked.
"Just wait, my father will avenge me." Takegami Girei laughed crazily.
"This is a blood-connection spell among the blood spells. It notifies the closest people of death through blood." Xue He said with a bitter smile, "There is no way to intercept it."
"That's okay." Kikuchi Tadashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue He smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is, this is also a suicide spell."
At this time, Takegami Yirei's face changed drastically and he spat out a mouthful of blood, "No, no, no, no, Father, no!"
Yukaku said: "He has already felt that his father Takeami Yoshimi is dead."
Takegami Yirei's mouth was bleeding and he said weakly: "Who killed my father and how did he die? Tell me."
"I killed him," Yamazaki said.
"No, this is impossible..." Takegami Yirei didn't believe it.
Yamazaki said: "Now it's your turn to tell me how grandpa died."
"You lied to me. My father is the strongest in the land of rice. You lied to me..." Takegami Girei lost his voice in his murmur.
Takayama Tomoya sighed: "Although he is a bastard, he still has merits. Let's bury father and son together."
"What's the saving grace?" Mei Daizi asked.
"He was afraid that he would not survive the torture and reveal that he had killed the shogun, which would implicate his father." Kikuchi Tadashi sighed, "At least it is confirmed that Takegami Yoshimi did not know about this matter. After all, Takegami Yoshimi has not yet I'm so heartbroken that I'm not in vain for the kindness of the general who brought me up."
Mei Daizi said angrily: "It sounds like we killed the wrong person."
Kikuchi Tadashi quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I definitely didn't mean that. I just feel that I have not mistaken Takeami Yoshimi."
Yamazaki sighed: "Strictly speaking, we were the first to take action against Takegami Yoshimi, but whether it was right or wrong is hard to say."
"Your Highnesses are right. If you don't kill people, people will kill you. These are troubled times." Takayama Tomoya sighed, and then said to Xue He, "Please release the eleven senior members of the Ninja Army. They I just heard it and will make a choice."
"I'll go right away." Xue He said and left. …
