Chapter 67 Pure Bloodline
As Shiba Kiyokawa began his rapid ascent through the ranks of the Red Priests, Hanzo's subordinates, who had come to carry out the escort mission, remained completely unaware of it.
They followed the merchants to this area, and every day they stayed in the stronghold, enjoying the abundant supplies behind closed doors without ever leaving their homes.
When they get into a drinking frenzy, they'll burst into laughter, mocking the Akatsuki's naiveté.
"Haha, those idiots in the Akatsuki! Do they really think they're saviors?"
There has only ever been one god in the Land of Rain, and that is our demigod—Lord Hanzo of the Salamander!
Just as the man finished speaking, a cold voice came from the doorway.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
These people only had time to turn their heads before they saw that the gate of the stronghold had been blasted open by a blazing fireball!
The enemy arrived quickly, giving them no time to react.
"Who is it?"
The Hanzo subordinate closest to the door only had time to utter such a cry of surprise before a katana cleaved him in two from the shoulder down in the next instant.
The severed corpse flew out, sizzling in the air and emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
Raven Feather emerged from the parted flames, bare-chested, with the katana hanging down in his hand. The blood on the blade had been mostly evaporated by the high temperature before it could drip.
He walked in alone through the main entrance, bringing with him a pressure like a raging storm to the Rain Ninja inside!
"spread!"
"Get out of here!"
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall"
For a time, no one dared to attack him.
Even the Rain Ninja, skilled in Water Release techniques, only dared to use Water Barrier for defense at the first moment.
But when these Rain Ninjas scattered and jumped onto the rooftops to escape, they discovered that more and more Akatsuki ninjas were constantly appearing on the surrounding rooftops, in the alleys, and from all directions!
The Rain Ninja who was leading Hanzo's subordinates panicked.
"How dare you defy those of us who follow Hanzo?!"
However, Raven Feather ignored him completely, silently raising his left hand and then slamming it down.
"kill!"
In an instant, shuriken and a thousand flying needles poured into the small courtyard like a torrential rain, mixed with explosive tags and poison pills made by some people.
Then it was all perfectly synchronized—
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
As the last person to arrive, Raven Feather guarded the main exit alone, coldly and swiftly killing the arrogant troublemakers who rushed over.
When only the leader of the Rain Ninjas remained, Karasu stepped forward and, facing the enemy's venomous gaze, returned to him everything he had just said.
"From now on, there will only be one god in this Land of Rain, and that is our captain: Lord Shiba Kiyokawa!"
His response was a roar like that of a trapped beast.
"Damn it! Water Release: Water—"
Unfortunately, this Rain Ninja's hand seals weren't fast enough, and his mind wasn't quick enough either.
He foolishly charged head-on, and before he could even finish completing the water jutsu hand seals, he was killed by Crow Feather with a single slash!
As the katana slashed, golden-red flames extended outwards, and after the first strike, the aroma of roasted meat immediately filled the air.
What is the most important thing in life?
Raven Feather: The heat!
Meanwhile, similar operations were also taking place at several other outposts.
Nagato's intelligence network became increasingly adept at its operations, providing precise coordinates, while Shiba Kiyokawa's subordinates led a team to carry out a precision strike!
An hour later, Shiba Kiyokawa himself was sitting in a spacious restaurant, elegantly enjoying his dinner, while the group of trembling merchants from the Land of Rain sat at the long table in front of him.
These people were excitedly discussing this price gouging business not long ago, exchanging ideas with each other.
"When we return this time, we will return all of Lord Hanzo's money, and split the remaining profits from the common people 30/70."
"How come it's only 70%?"
"Idiot! It's seventy percent Hanzo's man, what are you thinking?"
"Don't complain, the sky over this Land of Rain will always belong to Lord Hanzo."
Moreover, those idiots in the Akatsuki organization will actively help civilians. Then, will we still have to worry about not having more opportunities to make money?
Just as their enthusiastic discussion was getting in the air, and they were eating hot pot and singing songs, they were suddenly kidnapped by the Akatsuki!
Shiba Kiyokawa "invited" them here, and soon after, threw several heads in front of them.
"The ninjas who escorted you are all dead, not a single one is left."
After a brief pause, allowing the terrified merchants to finish screaming and venting their anger, Shiba Kiyokawa continued.
"You have two choices now: either immediately restore the prices, pay the fines and compensate for the losses as required, and promise not to engage in such acts that harm the Akatsuki again."
"And what about number two?" someone asked hesitantly.
The next moment, a ninja emerged from the shadows, covered the man's mouth from behind, and stabbed him in the back with a kunai.
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled and said, "You really are pretty silly."
He then coldly swept his gaze across the room, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
Everyone was wondering: What's wrong with the Akatsuki? Weren't they supposed to be a benevolent organization that helped the world?
This is completely different from what I've been hearing!
Just then, a man with an overly servile demeanor walked in, rubbing his hands together.
This man was the tax official whom Shiba Kiyokawa had recruited not long ago when he killed the nobles of the Land of Rain.
Although this person is a scoundrel, born into the lower class of the Rain Kingdom yet willingly serving as a lackey of nobles, he is also a capable individual.
Shiba Kiyokawa instructed him, "Take these people down there, tally up their fines and compensations, and find a way to resolve any issues that they can't pay immediately."
The tax official chuckled and nodded repeatedly in agreement, a smile that sent chills down the spines of all the merchants in the room.
They all had a premonition: next, even the last penny in their underwear would be scraped away.
This is even more painful than killing them!
But Shigekawa Kiyokazu doesn't care about their feelings at all.
He then went to the base and met with the returning team members.
"Are there any casualties?" he asked.
"No, it was resolved very easily," the leader, Ravenfeather, replied formally.
Shiba Kiyokawa breathed a sigh of relief, but did not stop there.
"Listen up, everyone!"
His sudden roar drew everyone's attention.
"If there are no assigned tasks next, please make the most of your training and don't waste your time!"
I will organize a Chunin Exam and a Jonin Exam in a month. Everyone who passes the exam and is promoted will receive a bonus!
From now on, all Chunin and Jonin within the organization will receive a monthly stipend, but in return, those who receive the stipend must always obey the organization's arrangements!
Loyalty deserves to be rewarded!
All of this is for the Land of Rain! For a bright and beautiful blue tomorrow!
At that moment, he was met with a unified and fervent shout: "For the Land of Rain! For a bright and beautiful blue tomorrow!"
Then, on this day, Yahiko, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly returned to the base and coldly questioned him.
"Kiyokawa! You're planning to make a move against Hanzo the Salamander?!"
Considering the recent changes within the Akademik organization, even if he were slow to realize, he should understand who Shiba Kiyokawa's target is.
Shiba Kiyokawa looked at him quietly without saying a word.
This made Yahiko even more furious.
"Qinghe, you are actively provoking war! Have you forgotten our ideals and our pursuits? What you're doing is too extreme! You will regret it!"
Instead of explaining, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly laughed and then casually retorted.
"Yahiko, I am the leader now."
At that moment, Yahiko froze in shock.
After a long while, he slammed the door shut and left, looking utterly dejected.
For a fleeting moment, Shiba Kiyokawa felt completely refreshed, as if someone had given him a blessing from the unseen world.
It was confirmed that he was a pure-blooded ninja.
