...

Now they somewhat believed what Senju Nawaki said.

As we walked along, we found that the layout of the former Daimyō Prefecture had undergone tremendous changes.

Just half a month.

It has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and the former buildings and pavilions have turned into rivers and ponds, with moss everywhere, which does not look like a place for people to live.

Just as Senju Nawaki said, it is more like a place where toads live.

The daimyo was not seen in the places where government affairs were handled.

Senju Nawaki saw all the changes in the crowd. When he took the first step into the Daimyō Mansion, he found the Daimyō who was hiding in the dark, but just didn't want to point it out.

The other people around saw the scene before them and realized that this was not an environment where humans could survive.

I began to feel fear in my heart. Could it be that the Daimyō of the Land of Fire was really controlled by a summoning beast?

This is something that has never happened in the ninja world.

"How is this possible? It's fake, everything is fake. It was clearly not like this just half a month ago."

Among the crowd, Genji Yasu, who was forcibly detained, roared excitedly.

He was captured by Senju Nawaki and Fujiwara Hiroshi in his own mansion, and was given an unbelievable reason that his father was controlled by the toad of Mount Myōboku.

He used this as an excuse for Fujiwara Hiroshi to seize power.

He couldn't help but disbelieve the scene before him.

According to Genji Yasu's understanding of his father, it was impossible for him to make his living environment so dark and damp. He always pursued the most luxurious and extravagant life in the entire ninja world.

Recalling the misfortunes that happened to my father during this period, I was deeply shocked.

"The toad from Mount Myōboku is still hiding?"

Senju Nawaki looked at the scene in front of him and was still not satisfied. Others had already started to think of retreating.

There was a commotion in the crowd. The envoy of the Land of Water had his blood sucked by an extremely huge mosquito, leaving a blood clot as big as a human head, and he collapsed to the ground.

A pool of black toad oil appeared under the feet of the envoy from the Land of Earth. The aura on his body became chaotic and his body changed. Pustules grew on his skin, toad patterns appeared, and his eyes turned into toad eyes.

In just a few seconds, it turned into a stone statue of a toad. This was a side effect of being eroded by natural energy.

"Leave, I want to leave here."

The Minister of Etiquette of the Land of Fire ignored all etiquette at this moment, lifted up his brocade robe, and ran back the way he came.

Snap...

A dragonfly about three or four meters in size suddenly picked him up, and bit him in half with its huge jaws, spraying blood and falling on everyone's heads.

Just in time.

A small sapling grew, blocking the brief blood rain falling from the sky and attracting everyone's attention.

"Master Senju, what is going on? Can we go back?" The envoy from the Land of Lightning asked tremblingly.

The fear in my heart is expanding infinitely.

Everyone's eyes turned to Senju Nawaki, their eyes filled with pleading and regret.

I secretly blamed myself, why did I get involved in this mess? I should have refused earlier.

The bodies of several smart people unconsciously moved closer to Senju Nawaki, seeking shelter.

"Be good and be obedient. Of course you can go out. After all, we still need you to pass this news to the people behind you who can make the decision."

Senju Nawaki shook his head. How could these cowardly people have their current status?

This world is really twisted.

Ignore them, stand up straight, and look straight ahead.

It was a stone bridge connecting the largest ornamental lake in Daimyō Prefecture and the river outside.

Rumble...

The stone bridge collapsed, the lake surface sank, and an ugly behemoth emerged. It was more than ten meters tall, with limbs like a frog, a green body, and a turtle shell on its back.

The head was exposed, the bald spot was like a saucer, surrounded by brown hair, and the mouth was a bird's beak.

Quack...

Makes a sound similar to that of a toad.

"Kappa?"

"…"

Some people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is very similar to the legendary monster Kappa in their impression, but it is magnified dozens of times.

"Senju Nawaki, what did you do?"

The monster stared at Senju Nawaki with its purple-blue pupils, raised its right claw, and chopped it down horizontally.

It will fall into the crowd.

"Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan!"

Senju Nawaki clasped his hands together, with a hint of disdain on his lips.

The ground cracked, tree roots rolled underground, and giant trees rose from the ground, occupying all the space around them.

Rumble...

Wherever you look, the buildings and ponds that were originally visible have all turned into trees.

The monster was also tied up with trees, with its limbs and neck strangled, and fixed in front of everyone.

His big white belly was exposed, and he was still struggling by kicking his legs.

"That sounds like my father's voice." Genji Yasu and Fujiwara Hiroshi spoke at the same time, with confusion and disbelief in their eyes.

The monster in front of me is actually a daimyo?

They originally thought that the host still maintained a human appearance, but now it seems that this is not the case. It has turned into such a monstrous appearance.

"It's the daimyo's voice..."

The Land of Fire nobles also spoke hesitantly.

"Don't doubt it, he is your Daimyō. He is now parasitized by a toad, which is why he has become this horrible appearance."

Senju Nawaki nodded and gave an answer that made everyone unbelievable.

Senju Nawaki also had doubts in his mind as to why it turned out like this. It seemed like an immune reaction.

"Human? Can it really become like this?" Someone in the crowd raised doubts.

I don't believe that the monster in front of me is the most powerful person in the Land of Fire.

"That eyebrow is the eyebrow of the toad that day! I have an impression of it." Behind Genji Yasu, the elder of the Genji family pointed his finger at the two extremely discordant white eyebrows on his forehead and said tremblingly.

"Quack... Senju Nawaki, it's all because of you, a despicable villain. What on earth have you done to Daimyō Prefecture?! Quack..."

The monster made a shrill cry, asking anxiously and angrily.

"Senju Nawaki, kill me! I don't want to live as a monster!" The monster's voice changed, becoming clearer and deeper, with the tone of a person in power.
