Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Chaos in the Capital: The Beginning

The maid Xiao Meng swallowed hard.

She followed behind the princess, slightly bowed.

Xiao Meng could already imagine the earth-shattering event that would happen tomorrow morning.

But as the princess's personal maid, she couldn't resist the princess at all.

Rasa didn't know he had been perceived by an ordinary woman.

He walked all the way and finally arrived in front of a heavily guarded and luxuriously decorated house.

In front of the house door, two ninjas with abundant Chakra were guarding.

Judging solely by the Chakra content in their bodies, these two ninjas were at the level of Special Jonin from a major ninja village.

There were also more than thirty slightly weaker Chakra fluctuations in the surrounding shadows.

This was the ninja force hidden in the dark.

It seemed this was the highest guarding force around the Daimyo.

So many Chunin-level ninjas and two Special Jonin united together.

From the data point of view, they could indeed resist a Jonin for a while.

Even if an Elite Jonin attacked.

They could buy enough time for the Daimyo to retreat, and then let numerous guarding forces come to besiege the attacker.

Whether they could win or not was another matter.

At least letting the Daimyo escape wouldn't be a problem.

However, this was only against an ordinary Elite Jonin.

And it was just an analysis based on pure data.

Rasa would only know the actual situation after trying it out later.

A few minutes later, the closed house door opened.

A middle-aged obese man in his forties walked out first.

This obese middle-aged man wore gorgeous clothes that looked expensive at first glance.

Although he looked ordinary because of obesity and the faint fine lines appearing on his face...

He carried an aura of authority without anger.

The two ninjas guarding the door immediately bowed their heads to the obese middle-aged man respectfully:

"Your Highness."

The obese middle-aged man gave a reserved "Mmh".

Rasa watched their performance from not far away.

It seemed this obese middle-aged man was the eldest son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

Before the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original work...

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind in the Five Kage Summit looked very similar to him.

Just much older.

But in this way.

This fat pig would be the one who actively reached a ceasefire agreement with the Land of Fire in the future Third Great Ninja War.

And demanded the Sand Village to reduce its ninja forces and limit the number of ninjas.

He also further cut the already small military budget.

He even actively assigned nearly 30% of the mission quota to Konoha.

Rasa looked at the middle-aged man with dangerous eyes.

For such a coward who only focused on his own interests and ignored the long-term future, hmph hmph!

After the obese middle-aged man routinely asked a few questions about whether any abnormalities were found, he soon left surrounded by a group of people.

Half of the more than thirty Chunin hidden in the dark also left with the fat man.

The guarding force of the bedridden Daimyo was instantly reduced by half.

Rasa smiled and began to act secretly.

Ten minutes later.

One of the two Special Jonin guarding the door, a middle-aged man with a long horse face, suddenly frowned.

The man next to him, who had begun to gain weight due to years of peaceful life, asked strangely:

"Tomomitsu, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man with a long horse face, called Tomomitsu, shook his head, an embarrassed smile appearing on his face:

"Nothing. Maybe I'm too neurotic."

"This is one of the safest places in the world. How could any enemy sneak in?"

However, Tomomitsu didn't hear his companion's response.

He turned his head suspiciously to look at his companion.

Only to find his companion staring blankly ahead with dull eyes!

Seeing this situation.

Tomomitsu, whose reaction was a bit slow due to more than twenty years of peaceful life, had his brain crash with a boom!

It took him a few seconds to react.

Just as Tomomitsu wanted to shout loudly.

He found his companion, whose eyes were originally dull, suddenly laughed!

"Hahahaha, Tomomitsu, how was this joke? Did it make you relive the feeling of wandering the ninja world more than twenty years ago?"

Tomomitsu wiped the sweat from his face. He breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"Can you stop playing such nasty jokes?"

"I really thought you were under an enemy's genjutsu and was about to issue a warning."

The companion next to him waved his hand nonchalantly:

"This is the Daimyo's palace."

"Ninjas from major ninja villages won't come here at all, and ninjas from small ninja villages can't get in. What are you afraid of?"

Tomomitsu nodded in agreement. He had worked here for more than twenty years.

Except for encountering a few Chunin-level wandering ninjas trying to sneak in for assassination...

He really hadn't encountered any major events.

However, if there was a third person here, he would be horrified to find...

That the two ninjas guarding the door were just staring blankly ahead with dull eyes, talking to themselves!

It seemed there was a second person talking to them in their minds!

Rasa gently closed the door.

Letting the two ninjas outside talk to themselves.

These two ninjas guarding the door only had Chakra equivalent to Special Jonin.

In terms of reaction and vigilance, they were much weaker than the Special Jonin of the Sand Village.

A simple genjutsu exchanged from the system...

Could easily make them fall for it. Rasa had originally prepared several backup plans.

As for the dozen or so hidden sentries around, they were even worse.

These so-called hidden sentries.

When he sneaked up behind them, they didn't react at all.

It seemed that more than twenty years of long-term comfortable life had made them completely lose their due vigilance.

Rasa smiled and took back what he thought in his heart before.

Based on data, they could stop an Elite Jonin, but in reality...

Let alone an Elite Jonin, if a formal Jonin from the five major ninja villages really charged in openly...

It would be considered good if these people could hold on for ten minutes.

Rasa looked at the system genjutsu prompt interface taking effect.

Leaf Confusing Jutsu

(By disturbing the sensory nerves, it can make the target fall into an illusion instantly. After being under the genjutsu for an hour, it becomes extremely difficult to detect. Cannot be used on targets stronger than oneself)

Current affected targets: 19 people

Although this genjutsu could only be used to crush noobs.

Once encountering a master of the same level.

Or even a master slightly weaker than him, it would be completely ineffective.

But it was very cheap, costing only forty skill points, and it was an AOE (Area of Effect) skill.

Moreover, it consumed very little Chakra and was hard to detect because it didn't act directly through Chakra.

The Soundproofing Barrier Rasa purchased additionally.

Could prevent all sounds within a hundred square meters from transmitting outside.

Rasa looked at the luxurious decorations in the room and clicked his tongue.

These luxury goods.

Any single piece would be enough for a ten-person family of ordinary civilians to live comfortably for more than ten years.

He wondered how much of this was bought with the money saved by the Daimyo constantly cutting the Sand Village's funding over the years.

Rasa soon arrived at a luxurious large bed deep in the room.

Only an obese old man was lying on the bed.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be fast asleep.

Rasa smiled, crossed his arms, and said nonchalantly:

"Daimyo, stop pretending to sleep."

After Rasa said this.

The old man lying on the bed didn't react at all; his breathing was still regular, and his eyelids didn't move a bit.

Rasa shook his head, seeming helpless about the Daimyo's stubbornness.

"You probably don't know yet. When people sleep, their eyes move constantly. It's absolutely impossible to be like you, with eyelids not moving at all."

As soon as these words came out, the old man lying on the bed opened his eyes slowly.

Although his eyes were turbid, and his facial muscles were somewhat congested and swollen due to long-term heart problems...

One could still see his former shrewdness and the handsomeness of his youth.

The old man sat up from the bed with difficulty, his voice hoarse:

"What do you want?"

"Which ninja village are you from? Cloud Village, or Stone Village?"

Rasa maintained the posture of crossing his arms but didn't speak.

Seeing this, the old man frowned into the character "川" and sighed softly:

"You ninjas, it's only been eleven years of peace, and you want to start a war so soon?"

Obviously, in the eyes of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

This man who wrapped himself tightly and wore an iron mask...

Must be a Jonin sent by some ambitious major ninja village unwilling to be lonely.

Wanting to assassinate him to trigger chaos.

"You guessed wrong. I just came here to get intelligence from you."

Hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind widened his eyes abruptly.

Seeming to think of a certain ninja village he had never thought of.

He just opened his mouth to say something, but his whole body suddenly became motionless.

Rasa walked forward a few steps, placed his left hand on the head of the Daimyo who was already controlled by genjutsu, and began to read memories.

Ninjutsu for extracting deep memories was very difficult to learn, and Rasa couldn't do it.

But shallowly reading surface memories...

And reading the shallow memories of an ordinary person...

He had learned a few such jutsu.

Who knew better about the Daimyo's various sons and the relationships between them?

Was there anyone clearer than the Daimyo, who was both father and leader?

A few minutes later, Rasa removed his hand from the top of the Daimyo's head and nodded with satisfaction.

His handsome face looked at the Daimyo with disgust.

Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a lack of various disputes and filth in powerful families.

Especially the Daimyo family, sitting high on the fishing platform, watching the major ninja villages kill each other endlessly.

While enjoying themselves peacefully.

When reading the wretched things the Daimyo did in his memories, Rasa wanted to chop him directly.

His several sons also surpassed their master.

They did no less dirty things than this father.

But in this way, Rasa had to change the plans in his mind.

He couldn't let them die so easily.

A few minutes later, Rasa left the room.

The Daimyo, who had been put back on the bed gently by Rasa.

Now fell into a deep sleep he hadn't had for several years.

When he woke up, he wouldn't remember anything that just happened.

However, the Daimyo, who had often awakened in the middle of the night due to heart pain for several consecutive years...

Now falling into deep sleep.

Perhaps his overwhelmed heart and body would recover a little because of this.

And his life could be extended by two or three days.

Another ten minutes passed.

The two ninjas talking to themselves at the door suddenly froze like a computer crash, with no reaction.

In less than half a second, their eyes regained clarity.

Tomomitsu turned to look at his companion next to him and smiled:

"Oh my, chatting with you for so long just now really makes me miss the old days."

The fat man next to him also had a nostalgic expression:

"There were more than a dozen companions before, and now only the two of us are left."

The two looked at each other and smiled, completely unaware that they had been under a genjutsu for more than thirty minutes.
