Chapter 258 Assassination, Assassination

After the three of them walked out of the meeting hall, they formed seals with their hands at the same time.

"Earth escape, super light and heavy rock technique",

They flew straight in the direction of the Third Hokage.

Ever since Xuanwu obtained the "Earth Escape, Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique", it was listed as a forbidden technique by the Third Hokage. Ordinary people could not learn it at all. Even Xuanwu was warned by Sarutobi Hiruzen not to pass this technique on to others easily.

So far, there are no more than ten Konoha ninjas allowed to learn this technique, namely Genbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Nawaki, the Three Ninjas and the heads of the Ino-Shika-Chou families.

Even Danzo Shimura was not qualified to learn it, and he had quarreled with Sarutobi Hiruzen several times because of this, but Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to give him the training method, which almost made him angry to death.

After watching Ding Zuo and the other two leave, Xuanwu was about to return to the council hall when he suddenly discovered that Thousand-Handed Immortal Grass was hiding behind the door. A little head poked out and looked at him pitifully like a puppy.

"What's the matter, aunt?"

Qianshou Xiancao said shyly: "Lord Xuanwu, I, I'm scared."

Because all the people in the palace were purged, there are only six people in the entire palace now.

There was Minato who had set up warning traps everywhere, Eiki who was locked up in a forbidden area and guarded by a giant snake, the two maids Shirley and Nao who had returned to the bedroom to clean up and were preparing dinner, and then there were the two of them.

After Xuanwu and Zhuludie walked out of the council hall, Qianshou Xiancao was the only one left in the entire hall. A cold wind blew past her, and a gloomy feeling surged in her heart.

The beautiful Daimyo Bunsei then remembered that thousands of people had died in this palace before. Kuwai, Kuwai.

So she hurried over.

Xuanwu couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw the frightened look on the face of this young woman who was nine years older than him. It was quite funny, really.

"Princess of the Senju clan, our daimyo is actually afraid of ghosts, hahahaha..."

Xuanwu laughed mercilessly.

"You, you, you, humph!"

Thousand-Handed Immortal Grass was so angry that he couldn't speak. He turned his back to Xuanwu and ignored him!

...

While the two of them were flirting, Beiluhu, who escaped from Xuanwu at the cost of an arm, was hiding in a secret base licking his wounds.

After fusing with an unknown ninja in the cultivation container, his broken right arm grew back. Recalling the battle with Xuanwu, Beiluhu's eyes were once again filled with fanaticism, "Spartasi, Spartasi, Akimichi Xuanwu, I must get you. As long as I get you, the three ninjas will be trampled under my feet, and Sarutobi Sensei will no longer be my opponent..."

Just as he was having a hysterical attack, a strange man covered in white substance all over his body and with his face covered by a threaded mask with only his right eye exposed suddenly emerged from the ground and appeared behind Beiluhu.

"Little devil, submit to me."

Bei Liuhu didn't react until he heard the voice. He immediately jumped up and distanced himself, took a fighting stance, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Your master."

Beiliuhu laughed, where did this idiot come from!

"Steel Release, Steel Fist",

A fist harder than steel blasted out and hit the man in the face.

...

In the sky, Sarutobi Hiruzen was flying in front, Orochimaru was half a body length behind, the Ino-Shika-Chou trio was further behind, and on the ground all the ninjas including Shimura Danzo were running to follow. Only Utane Koharu was treated specially, as she was carried forward on the back of an extremely strong ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, and a soundproof barrier enveloped him and Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, tell me, why did you and Xuanwu do this?"

Although he already had some guesses in his mind and was very satisfied with the result, Sarutobi Hiruzen still wanted to hear Orochimaru's report in person.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his eye. "Teacher, I think your approach is too weak. If you really handle it that way, the Daimyo will definitely be in trouble. Before we set off, you also told me that I could do things at my own convenience, so I changed the order without authorization. Facts have proved that my approach is more beneficial to Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed an expression of "as expected" and felt relieved.

If Orochimaru told him the truth, that it was Xuanwu's idea to kill the entire Fire Clan and push the Senju Sengo to the top, then Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to consider whether he should take action to get rid of Xuanwu (Xuanwu: You act like you have that strength? If you have the guts, let's fight. I'll beat the shit out of you!).

But Orochimaru did not tell the truth and attributed all this to his own idea. Xuanwu was just following orders, which was different. How could his good disciple think of indirectly restraining him by controlling the daimyo? He must have done this to maintain his rule. The Third Hokage is such a double standard guy.

When the last stone fell to the ground, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a happy smile on his face, and accelerated again unconsciously, obviously enjoying flying.

Everyone on the ground was saying "Fuck you" in their hearts, but they didn't know whether they should say it or not.

...

Night, 3 AM.

The daimyo's bedroom was completely covered by the Vajra barrier, the perception-shielding barrier and the sound-proof barrier. Thousand-handed Immortal Grass was resting inside, with two maids guarding her.

Maybe it was because too many things had happened in the past few days, with the battle royale and the coup d'état. Although Xiancao was the kind of player who won simply by doing nothing in her previous life, and Xuanwu did all the dirty work, she was indeed worried along with them.

After the dust settled, Xiancao's body and mind were completely relaxed, and Xuanwu protected her so well. After dinner, the most beautiful daimyo in history fell into a deep sleep holding the gift that Xuanwu gave her three years ago, an oversized doll. She would talk about everything tomorrow.

I don’t know what I dreamed about. Xiancao squeezed her legs together, her face flushed, and she kept mumbling words like dead ghost, enemy, and disgusting in her sleep.

She slept well, but the two people outside the bedroom were exhausted.

The news that Qianshou Xiancao would succeed Wencheng Daimyo was released in the morning, and the assassination began in the afternoon.

Ever since the Third Hokage and others left, this palace has never been peaceful.

Outside the daimyo's bedroom at night, the cold moonlight illuminates the fierce battle.

A golden and a blue figure flashed around the bedroom, chasing each other with more than a dozen masked black-clothed ninjas. Every time the golden and blue figures stopped, they would take the life of a black-clothed ninja.

Soon, the battlefield fell silent, with only the collapsed walls outside the palace and the bumpy ground proving that the battle had not been easy.

After killing all the black-clad ninjas, the golden and blue figures returned to the roof again, revealing their original faces, they were Minato and Genbu.

"Phew, it's so annoying. These rats in the gutter are respectful on the surface, but they do this in private."

Xuanwu looked at the corpses and wounded people swallowed by the giant snake and complained wildly. It was obvious that he was quite troubled by this endless assassination.

"Minato, which batch is this today?"

Minato rubbed his temple and replied, "Since we had dinner, it's already the seventh wave. All the traps I set up before have been triggered. There is no time to rearrange them."

Xuanwu pinched his Yintang acupoint hard and said helplessly: "Good fellow, these guys are really persistent, time and time again, like a bunch of toads, not biting but annoying."

As they were talking, another group of masked ninjas rushed in.

The two looked at each other, then continued to work.
