...
"It's Father! It's really Father?" Fujiwara Hiroshi and Genji Yasu exclaimed.
Everyone present could now confirm that this was the name of the Land of Fire.
Nawaki Senju narrowed his eyes, and his eyes turned into Mangekyō Sharingan, looking at the monster.
…
[The usurped bloodline of the spirit beast Kappa]
[Originally a water spirit, parasitized by a toad...]
…
After getting the answer he wanted, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
"Genji? The source of the river, no wonder."
Is it possible that the Genji family possesses the blood of kappa? It's more accurate to say that it's the blood of water spirits, tainted by toads, that transformed them into kappa.
The nobles of every country are not simple, especially those who live a simple life, who have plagiarized Chinese mythology, the black people of Kumogakure, and Indian mythology. The world of Naruto is a hodgepodge, so it is not surprising what happens.
Nawaki Senju shook his head and felt relieved. He stopped worrying about it. He was already a dead man anyway.
"I didn't do anything. I just planted a few trees around Daimyō's Mansion. By the way, I'm returning all the toad oil you gave me."
The corners of Nawaki Senju's mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, and he spoke in a relaxed tone.
It was really interesting to accidentally create such a monster and let him see what was buried in this world.
The trees surrounding Daimyō's Mansion gather the natural energy of the entire capital.
Toad oil allows the toad in the daimyo's body to sense natural energy more easily.
The natural energy in Daimyō's Mansion is hundreds of times that of the outside world, and can even be compared to the place with the richest natural energy in Mount Myōboku.
The natural energy awakened the daimyo's own blood, which caused the daimyo to go berserk and made him more in line with the habits of a toad.
Otherwise, Senju Nawaki will have to use other means.
"Impossible, if that's all, I can't lose control. It's impossible for this old guy, Genji Meiji, to retain his last bit of clarity."
The monster still made hoarse cries, as if it was struggling.
Nawaki Senju shook his head slightly, not intending to continue to tangle with the monster, as his goal had been achieved.
Everyone has confirmed the identity of this monster, it is the Daimyō of the Land of Fire, and only fear remains in their hearts.
Adding to the two people who died in the previous team, some people were on the verge of collapse. What kind of monsters were these? They just wanted to leave here quickly.
"Don't plot against me in your next life."
Senju Nawaki shook his head and waved his right hand gently.
Rumble...
The earth began to shake, and the entangled trees began to tighten.
"Quack…ah…"
The monster screamed miserably when it attacked.
Phew…
It was torn into several pieces by the tree, oozing red and green pus, and its limbs fell to the ground and slowly shrank.
Mixed in there were the heads of the Daimyō of the Land of Fire and the old toad with white hair and eyebrows.
Two heads, a few meters apart.
The old toad's head was filled with hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.
The Land of Fire Daimyō's head was glazed over with his eyes wide open.
Nawaki Senju walked up to the Land of Fire Daimyō and shook his head, saying, "You can still make use of your remaining energy. This is also your last value."
Wave.
A stream of Yang Release chakra carrying powerful life energy rushed into the head of the Land of Fire Daimyō.
The head spat out black blood, opened its eyes, and miraculously came back to life.
"It's only a few minutes, hurry up."
He turned around and spoke to his cousin, Genji Yasu.
This is their father after all, give them a chance to say goodbye.
Genji came to his father's head crying.
Fujiwara Hiroshi looked calm, but a hint of sadness could not be concealed in his eyes.
"Haha, I was wrong. Carry me in front of that old toad."
The head of the Land of Fire Daimyō laughed and gave a command in a stern tone.
Finally, he took a look at the Senju Nawaki, and regret and unwillingness emerged at the same time.
Would there be a better outcome if he didn't believe the old toad's nonsense?
He doesn't know.
There is only hatred for the toad in my heart.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss.
Genji Yasu stood there in a daze, still crying, as if he didn't hear what his father said.
Fujiwara took a few steps forward, ignoring the disgusting liquid on the daimyo's head, picked it up with both hands and placed it in front of the old toad's head.
"I will eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
Daimyō's eyes were bloodshot. He opened his mouth and suddenly bit the toad's nose. He ignored the unknown thick liquid and bit it with all his strength. There was only madness in his eyes.
A strange look appeared in everyone's eyes.
Until the daimyo's head lost all its breath, he only bit off the old toad's eyes and nose, which were the vulnerable parts.
What we do seems to be useless.
"This is Meiji, still as crazy as before. Don't worry, I will avenge you." Among the crowd, the elder of the Genji family had tears in his eyes.
Genji Meiji successfully inherited the throne of daimyo by biting off the nose and eyes of his competitors.
This seemingly useless action is not only a revenge and venting of inner anxiety, but also a statement of one's identity and position.
He warned the Genji family that if they continued with his previous policies and plans, they would face destruction.
It was the ninja whose nose and eyes were bitten off and could no longer survive in the ninja world.
As an ancient family, the Genji family will not let the toad clan of Mount Myōboku go.
"If I had made this determination earlier in the final madness, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Nawaki Senju shook his head, with two conflicting emotions of admiration and contempt arising simultaneously in his heart.
At this last moment, the Daimyō of the Land of Fire seemed like a human being, a person who had lost everything.
When I looked at Senju Nawaki just now, my heart was as clear as a mirror. The future of this country depends entirely on Senju Nawaki's words, so there is no need to make any arrangements.
He only needs to use his actions to show his attitude.
Senju Nawaki put its hands together, and the trees around it began to shrink.
After the tree world disappeared, everything around it turned into ruins, and the former Daimyō's Mansion disappeared without a trace.
A chakra fruit appeared in Nawaki Senju's hand.
…
[Item: Chaotic Chakra Fruit]
[Refinable Materials: Natural Energy Essence, Spirit Beast Bloodline, Toad Bloodline...]
[Consumption: 13,721 Chakras]
…
Nawaki Senju shook his head and put away the fruit that was a fusion of the daimyo's bloodline and the Mount Myōboku toad's bloodline.
Why did this toad, which parasitized the Daimyō of the Land of Fire, turn into a monster like a kappa?
There is the blood of some spiritual beast in the body of the Land of Fire Daimyō, which is resisting the control of the toad and causing an immune rejection reaction.
Under the influence of natural energy, this old toad lost control. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Senju Nawaki to let the old toad turn Daimyō's Mansion into the horrible state it is today.
Nawaki Senju felt a chill in his heart. What kind of mess is inside the bodies of the humans in this world?
Ninjas and ordinary people who cannot refine chakra, after being infected by natural energy, will transform into various animal-like monsters.
"Chief Senju, are we safe now?" a trembling voice asked from the crowd.
"The evil toad must disappear from this world." Some people looked at the Senju Nawaki and shouted flatteringly.
They knew what Nawaki Senju wanted to hear and what they should do.
They recognize the harm of toads and are also afraid of them.
