Konoha's Ninja Successor

The masked ninja showed a smile on his face and said: "It's a pity that the other party gave too much, and I can only work for the highest bidder, so unfortunately, Daimyo of the Kingdom of Iron, our deal ends here. "

"What? The daimyo of the country of craftsmen actually..." the daimyo of the country of iron said in shock and anger.

"Please, let my father go. Even if you work for other countries, at least you have accepted my father's money, right?" The princess still did not forget her father's safety at this critical moment, and quickly expressed her hope that the other party would let him go. Father.

"Wo..." The daimyo was deeply moved to see his daughter protecting him. He recalled that he felt guilty and ashamed when he used his daughter as a political bargaining chip in the past.

"Humph~ I, Kakuzu, have principles when doing things. I will not return the money I took. In return for taking your money, I will naturally spare your life. What's more, the person who entrusted me here is not a craftsman. The daimyo of the country, but the ambitious daimyo young master, my goal is not the daimyo in the first place."

Kakuzu saw that the daimyo and the daimyo princess had not yet figured out the situation, and there was a sneer on their faces.

"What do you mean?" The daimyo calmed down a little. In order to delay waiting for rescue, he also showed a frightened and ignorant expression. In fact, he had a rough guess in his heart.

"It's okay to tell you. If you want to be resentful afterwards, just go to the Country of Craftsmen to take revenge. A war between the two countries will do a lot of good to me."

War is a good place for mercenaries like Kakuzu to do business, so Kakuzu is happy to have the Iron Country Daimyo take revenge, so Kakuzu sells his client without hiding it.

"The daimyo of the Takumi Country actually commissioned me to kill his father, the daimyo of the Takumi Country, so that he could legitimately inherit the daimyo position. Then he would blame your father's death on you, the Iron Country. As long as I help him kill Iron Country General Mifune, he will give me enough money to buy a city in return."

"This wolf bastard has such a vicious mind!" The Daimyo of the Country of Iron angrily scolded the Young Master of the Country of Craftsman. The Country of Iron and the Country of Craftsman are connected, and the relationship between the two countries is already close.

The Daimyo of the Craftsman Country is a tycoon with ambitions to expand. He has already coveted the Iron Kingdom, which was once a single country but was later divided. This time the princess's unilateral breakup of the engagement just gave him this excuse. The Craftsman Country The Daimyo may also go to war with the Iron Kingdom because of this, so the Iron Kingdom Daimyo hired bounty killers like Kakuzu to help. He didn't expect that he would actually shoot himself in the foot.

What the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Iron did not expect was that the Daimyo of the Country of Craftsman was even better than his predecessor, and directly staged a scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety. Such an ambitious person really dared to think that even his father, the Daimyo of the Country of Craftsman, was not He dared to start a war at will, but he did it first, and he also cheated his father.

Then Kakuzu seemed to remember something, and said to the daimyo princess he had captured: "By the way, he also wants me to take away the princess to satisfy his desire for revenge. After all, the face issue of having the engagement broken up in the first place is still a big deal. This petty-minded employer still grudges me."

After saying that, Kakuzu made a move that made the Daimyo's eyes split open. Kakuzu casually picked up the katana on the ground and stabbed the Daimyo Princess in the chest, causing fatal injuries to her.

"He!!!" The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Iron shouted his daughter's name in grief, but Princess He's injuries had already been caused, and her death was already doomed.

"It's too troublesome to bring a living person back. Anyway, it's just revenge and I'll do it for you. As long as Mifune arrives, I'll cut off his head and leave, and my commission will be completed." Kakuzu handed over casually. He pulled out the long knife from He's chest, flipped the knife and held it back, preparing to cut off the princess's head as a token.

"Let him go!!!"

When Luqiu saw the princess being stabbed, her eyes turned red with anger. He struck directly at Kakuzu with the Iai Slash. Unexpectedly, he cut off the katana in Kakuzu's hand, and successfully snatched it away at the moment Kakuzu dodged. The dying princess.

Before Luqiu could check the princess's injuries, Kakuzu's left hand actually detached from his body, connected by a black mysterious thread, and quickly pinched Luqiu who was about to escape.

Luqiu, who was in mid-air, had nowhere to draw on and could not dodge at all. He was caught by the flying arm and his throat was tightly strangled.The princess in Luqiu's arms also fell to the ground, and Luqiu's whole body was dragged back to Kakuzu by his strong left hand.

Kakuzu grabbed Luqiu's neck with one hand, lifted him into the air, and said coldly: "Kid, are you trying to steal my entrusted target?"

Luqiu, who was struggling desperately, still couldn't break free, and at the same time, Kakudu's hand on his neck became harder and harder. Luqiu felt that his neck was about to break, and he desperately thought that he was going to die.A flash of sword light flashed, successfully cutting off Kakuzu's arm and saving him.

"Flash!"

The hurried Mifune rescued Luqiu directly, and his sharp sword skills almost cut off Kakuzu's head. Fortunately, Kakuzu used "Earth Release. Earth Spear" at the critical moment to avoid the head falling to the ground. Kakuzu was shocked. He also quickly pulled away from Mifune.

Mifune looked at the daimyo princess who was bleeding on the ground and the daimyo who was crying. For the first time, he felt the uncontrollable anger surge in his chest. The daimyo he was supposed to protect was actually in danger. The loyalty of the samurai made Mifune hate it. Cut the horns into eight pieces.

"Luqiu, His Highness the Daimyo and His Highness the Princess are temporarily entrusted to you. I will come back as soon as I go!" After saying that, Mifune rushed towards Kakuzu with a knife, leaving Luqiu to stare blankly at the dying princess in the Daimyo's arms. .

"He! My daughter, I have to hold on. The doctors will be here soon. Father will never criticize you again. Father will give you whatever you want. Please, you must hold on... ." The daimyo cried while holding his daughter. Looking at his daughter's exaggerated amount of bleeding, the daimyo also knew that his daughter was hopeless, but at this moment he could only keep repeating these words to numb his nerves that were about to collapse.

"Father, my daughter is unfilial, and you have to use this method to maintain the stability of the country." Princess Daiming said intermittently. These words broke the Daimyo's heart. The Daiming burst into tears and just kept shaking his head and repeating the sentence. .

"You'll be fine... You'll be fine..."

The daimyo princess smiled bitterly, and then she saw the tear-stained Luqiu beside her from the corner of her eye, and then she stretched out her hand to him with all her strength.

Luqiu subconsciously held the trembling hand with both hands, and then he felt that the right hand had gradually lost its temperature and became cold.

"Luxiu...Actually, I...know that you deliberately...didn't see me for my own sake."

"Princess...I..." Luqiu didn't know what to say to this infatuated girl at this moment. He, who doesn't shed tears easily, broke down in tears.

"Originally, I wanted to keep watching... you from now on, you stubborn idiot... who can easily hurt yourself, but now it seems that I won't be able to see you anymore... In fact... you are also in love with me. Am I right?" The princess showed a weak smile and looked at Luqiu with still affectionate eyes.

"I...I love you, He. In fact, I already liked you just after I saw you!" Luqiu shouted to express what was in his heart. At this moment, he expressed it in the simplest words, even using the consistent words The old sayings are no longer used.

"This is...the first time...you called...my...name..." The princess's voice became lower and lower, and finally the light in her eyes completely disappeared, and she lost her last breath.

The princess eventually died due to excessive blood loss. Luqiu once again tasted the pain of losing an important person. This time the pain was as unforgettable as the death of his father in the past.

At this time, Kakuzu was at a stalemate in the battle with Mifune. Under Mifune's attack, Kakuzu had no chance to form a seal.As the number of supporting samurai increased, Kakuzu also knew that it would not be good for him to delay any longer. After understanding Mifune's strength, Kakuzu also knew that it would be difficult for him to kill Mifune, and finally decided to leave.

Before leaving, Kakuzu naturally did not forget his entrusted target. When Mifune's attention was on Kakuzu, a masked heart clone of Kakuzu separated from the body and rushed to Luqiu and others.

The heart clone connected to the severed arm that had been chopped off before, and controlled the severed arm to raise the samurai sword and strike at the daimyo. Although Luqiu was heartbroken, he still threw down the daimyo at the critical moment and protected He's father. There was also a bloody cut on the waist.

Just when Luqiu turned around to launch an attack, he saw the Kakuzu clone controlling the severed hand to cut off the princess's head. This made him completely crazy. He shouted and rushed towards the heart clone with a knife.

The heart clone opened its mask, and strong thunder escape chakra condensed in its mouth. Just when Luqiu was about to be killed, Mifune, who rushed back, killed the heart clone and saved Luqiu.

Kakuzu also took the opportunity to connect his severed arm and fled with the princess's head.

From that time on, Luqiu began to harbor thoughts of revenge and could not extricate himself.

Later, the Daimyo of the Country of Iron wanted to launch a war against the Country of Takumi to avenge his daughter, but what followed was that the Daimyo and his son of the Country of Takumi were killed, and all the money in the treasury was taken away.

Later I found out that the daimyo didn't kill Mifune when he saw Kakuzu, but refused to pay the reward, so he broke up with Kakuzu, and ended up with the tragic end of losing his own life.

When the Country of Craftsmen was leaderless, it was easily included in the territory of the Kingdom of Iron. Since then, the Country of Craftsmen has also disappeared from the world and merged into the territory of the Kingdom of Iron.

Since that time, Luqiu, in addition to looking for revenge targets, challenging and killing powerful ninjas, has also done one more thing, which is to draw the princess's portrait in a quiet place.

That pure smile that could never be painted, the faceless portraits of the princess were created under Luqiu's pen. To this day, Luqiu still can't draw the princess's smile, which is also one of his regrets.
