Comparison: Mentor Payne, Whose Dragon-Slaying Technique Shocked The Ninja World

["Mother! Sister!"]

[Inui Shu suddenly woke up with cold sweat on his forehead. Just when he wanted to support his body to stand up, he found that his arm was in unusual pain. 】

["Wake up..." A female soldier wearing the uniform of the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army turned to look at Inui Shu. 】

[Inujing Shu turned to look at her warily, "You, who are you?"]

["I am a soldier of the 3rd Company of the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army. My name is Tomoko Mita."]

["Akatsuki organization...revolutionary army?" Inui Shu suddenly remembered that before he fainted, it was also a soldier of the Akatsuki organization's revolutionary army who saved his family. 】

["Did you save me? Where are my mother and sister?"]

["Yes." Tomoko Mida nodded: "Your mother and sister are also being treated, but the situation is much easier than yours, so don't worry too much."]

["That's it..." Inui Shu breathed a sigh of relief. 】

[Just when Inuishu's mind was at peace and he was thinking about how to thank Mita Tomoko, there was a faint angry voice outside the house. 】

["Fuck! Son of a bitch!"]

【"Execute him!"】

["Damn beast! My Yumi was violated and killed by him!"]

[The noisy sound interrupted Inui Shu's contemplation, and he suddenly looked outside the room. 】

["What's going on outside?" Inuishu asked. 】

[Mita Tomoko turns sideways and lets Inui Shu see the situation outside the house clearly. 】

[On the path outside the house, I saw countless excited villagers surrounding me. In the middle was a man wearing the same revolutionary army uniform as Tomoko Mita. 】

[Revolutionary Army soldiers are escorting ten warriors, and there are three embarrassed tax collectors among them. 】

["The tax collector of the Noshiro family and his lackey samurai are being tried outside." Tomoko Mita explained: ]

["Judge... the tax collector?"]

[Just a few words made Inui Shu confused. 】

[The word tax collector is an incredible figure in his mind. 】

【What a great master! 】

[No one in the village dares to go against the will of the tax collectors. 】

[No one dares to disobey me, nor my father, nor even my grandfather. 】

[Now someone wants to judge them! 】

[Tomoko Mida sighed when she saw Inuiki's stunned look. She had seen this look too many times. 】

[She used to be like this too, believing that the lords were sacred and inviolable and could not be violated. 】

[It wasn’t until she joined the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army that she realized that there were no princes, nobility, or saviors in this world! 】

【Only we ourselves can save ourselves. 】

[The teachings of mentor Yahiko are still firmly remembered in her heart, which is why the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army is now growing stronger. 】

["Do you want to see it with your own eyes?" Tomoko Mida looked at Inui Shu. 】

["Look at the trial of the tax collectors!"]

[Inui Shu was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he nodded with firm eyes. 】

【"I'm going!"】

…

[Fishing village, square. 】

[The village square is not very big, but the view is broad enough. 】

[Soldiers of the Revolutionary Army stood in a circle around the edge, with many excited fellow villagers standing outside. 】

[Because there were so many people, many villagers even climbed up to the eaves and trees to watch the trial. 】

[In the center of the square, three tax collectors looked embarrassed, dressed in ragged clothes, and their whole bodies were tightly bound, kneeling in front of a group of villagers. 】

[The ten warriors were also tied up, and the scars on their bodies proved that they had been beaten. 】

[An Akatsuki soldier holds a notebook and reads loudly to the surroundings:]

["Iwashiro Castle, the tax collector of the Noshiro family, Noshiro Takuto, Noshiro Junichiro, Noshiro Iwa, these three people preyed on the common people, killing countless people..."]

[The three people’s crimes were listed in dozens, and it took a full ten minutes to read them out. 】

["According to the laws of the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army, the three of them have committed extremely heinous crimes and shall be punished with the death penalty!"]

[The villagers below are extremely excited. They have been oppressed by these guys for a long time. 】

[So many things happened in the village today, and the anger in my heart has long been ignited. 】

【"Kill them!"】

["Damn it! These bastards are going to die!"]

["Kill them! Return my mother's spirit in heaven!"]

[A revolutionary soldier pulled the strip of cloth from the mouth of the three people and asked: "Do you have any last words?"]

[Seeing the excited mob below and the terrifyingly powerful Akatsuki Revolutionary Army soldiers beside them, the three of them panicked. 】

["No! You can't kill me! I am the person who can act as the lord, you bunch of untouchables can't kill me!"]

["Yes! You can't kill us! Otherwise your village will be slaughtered by the Nodai family!"]

["What bullshit revolutionary military laws? You idiots have nothing to do with Laozi! Laozi is a person who can represent the family!"]

[After listening, the revolutionary soldier looked indifferently and nodded to the three comrades holding long knives. 】

【"Execution!"】

【Pfft! 】

[The long knife cuts across, blood spurts out, and the head falls to the ground. 】

【……】

【silence……】

[When the head rolled down a distance, the silent people once again burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. 】

【"Good kill!"】

["Mother! Did you see it! These three beasts are finally dead!"]

["Fuck the tax collector!"]

[In the crowd, Inui Shu looked at the tax collector's head in the dust and mud with stunned eyes. 】

[When paying taxes, the tax collector's aloof, unattainable, and inoffensive appearance is in sharp contrast to the current scene. 】

【Inui Shu felt something was broken in his heart. 】

["It turns out... these gentlemen will die too..."]

["Hehehe...hahahaha!" Inui Shu laughed and cheered along with the excited villagers! 】

【"What a good death!"】

…

[After the trial, some members of Xiao’s revolutionary army stayed in the village. 】

[At first, the villagers were very scared, but with the strong discipline of Xiao's organized revolutionary army, they soon became familiar with the villagers. 】

[A week later, the revolutionary army also returned all the taxes paid by the villagers to the Noshiro family tax collector. 】

[When Inui Shu saw that his taxes had been converted into the same amount of silver, he was moved to tears and expressed his gratitude to the soldiers of the revolutionary army. 】

[The other villagers who paid taxes were also extremely moved! 】

[In addition to returning taxes, the revolutionary army also overthrew the village chief who colluded with Lord Nodai. 】

[All the little cultivated land in the village was given to the villagers. 】

[The villagers who have land are even more grateful. After all, fishing is not stable, but the land can actually produce food stably. 】

[In addition to trying landlords and allocating fields, the revolutionary army also helped villagers with farm work, guided work, and saw doctors and prescribed medicine during the day. 】

[That strange ninjutsu is very useful for farming, fishing, and treating doctors! 】

[Furthermore, the Akatsuki Revolutionary Army holds free literacy reading classes in the evening to teach everyone to read and learn the revolutionary ideas of the Akatsuki Organization. 】

[It was only then that Inui Shu realized that all his oppression was not destined by fate, but was caused by the oppression of feudal landlords and Ninja village warlords. 】

[In addition to these, there is also a ninjutsu class. Only outstanding students in the revolutionary army and reading and literacy classes can enter this ninjutsu class. 】

[In the past few months, Inui Shu has clearly felt that life is getting better. The illnesses of his mother and sister have improved. He no longer needs to go hungry every day, and he has gained a lot of knowledge. 】

[With the support of his family, Inui Shu and the young adults in the village joined the Akatsuki revolutionary army camp. 】

[And this scene doesn’t only happen in this small fishing village. 】

[The revolutionary army of the Akatsuki organization can be found in all the vast rural areas and war ruined cities in the southern region of the Kingdom of Rain. 】

[The revolutionary army helps oppressed people everywhere stand up, unite, mobilize everyone to engage in construction, development, and fight against feudal lords everywhere. 】

…

[Southern Rain Country, Iwashiro Castle. 】

[This is the waterway transportation hub in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rain. Relying on the docks and rich minerals, it has become the largest and most prosperous city in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rain. 】

[This city is ruled by the Noshiro family. The leader of the Noshiro family was a collateral royal family of the Daimyo of Rain Country from the beginning. 】

[After being separated from the Daimyo family, it has been occupying this place. 】

[At night, the magnificent and prosperous Noshiro mansion. 】

[The lord of the Noshiro family, Noshiro Saburo is furious. 】

["Why is this year's tax revenue only 1.6 billion taels? Why?"]

【Snapped! 】

[A slap hits an old man in a kimono on the face. 】

[The old man in kimono looked horrified, immediately stood up straight, bowed his head and explained:]

["There is something wrong with the tax this year. Lords from all over the place said that there is an organization called Akatsuki that is blocking our tax team, and they have many ninjas."]

【"Snapped!"】

["Is Laozi asking about the reason?" Noshiro Saburo gripped the old man's collar and glared: "What Laozi wants is the result!"]

["If this tax hole cannot be filled, Laozi will feed you to the fishes!"]

["Yes!" The old man in kimono nodded again. 】

[Noshiro Saburo pushed the old man in kimono away and said in a low voice:]

["Let the family warriors and the mercenary ninjas solve the problem for me!"]

["Yes!" Upon hearing this, the old man in kimono turned around and backed away from the room. 】

[Outside the window, a paper sunny doll is quietly watching this scene, quietly swaying in the night wind. 】

…

[Xiao Organization Base. 】

[ Konan opened his eyes and looked at the Akatsuki warriors aside. 】

["Go tell Chief Yahiko that there are new developments in Noshiro Castle."]
