Chapter 158: War Clouds Rise Again?

Looking at the assassin stepping forward, Liu Yu also waved Sanriku Munechika to meet him.

"Ding Dang----"

The two of them started a sword fight directly, and the sword flashed between them. As time passed slowly, the assassin was surprised to find that his proud swordsmanship was suppressed in front of Liu Yu.

He dodged the assassin's slash and seized the enemy's gap at the moment. Liu Yu changed Sanriku Munechika's grip to horizontal and slashed it diagonally.

"Shh----"

Although the assassin reacted in time, he was still scratched on the right arm by Liu Yu. After being scratched on the right arm, the assassin hurriedly jumped back.

The assassin, who was pulling away, looked at Liu Yu in front of him, his face looked very solemn. He had been at a disadvantage in the previous swordsmanship confrontation. Now his right hand was injured, and he didn't want to subdue his opponent with swordsmanship. After figuring this out, the assassin threw the long sword in his hand to the side, and then began to make seals with both hands quickly, intending to defeat Liu Yu with ninjutsu.

"Lightning escape, false dark"

After the seal was completed, the assassin slightly raised his head and spurted out a huge lightning bolt from his mouth, attacking Liu Yu directly.

"Grass escape, Chiba Liu Shield"

Liu Yu first threw the knife high into the sky, and then quickly formed a seal to perform a defensive ninjutsu. As the seal was completed, a large number of leaves quickly emerged from the ground to completely protect Liu Yu.

"Sizzle-----"

The lightning struck the grass shield, and the sound of hissing continued. Many grass leaves emitted bursts of white smoke because of being hit by lightning. However, lightning escape is not as restrained by fire escape as grass escape, so the assassin's false dark lightning did not break Liu Yu's defense.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Liu Yu, who was hiding behind the grass shield, quickly formed a seal, and the three-day moon Munechika that Liu Yu had thrown into the sky before was cloned into dozens of swords and stabbed at the assassin one after another.

Through the previous battle, the assassin already knew that there was something strange about the three-day moon Munechika that Liu Yu threw. Seeing a large number of Sanriku Munechika clones falling, the assassin dared not neglect it, and could only stop his forward steps and turn to seal defense.

"Earth escape, rock shell technique."

The assassin slapped his right hand downward, and the ground suddenly seemed to come alive, and a wall of earth shell formed to completely protect it.

"Ding Ding-----"

The falling Sanriku Munechika clones fell on the rock shell, and made a sound similar to metal collision, and none of them pierced in.

Under Liu Yu's control, the grass shield revealed an opening, through which Liu Yu could see that he was quickly forming seals. As the seal was completed, the violent chakra fluctuations continued to condense and compress in Liu Yu's hands, and soon materialized into a chakra bamboo spear.

"Bamboo escape, bamboo flow spear"

Liu Yu shouted in a low voice and threw the bamboo flow spear forward with force. After leaving his hand, the bamboo spear quickly rotated and rushed forward, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the friction with the air made bursts of hissing sounds.

"Chi-----"

The bamboo spear suddenly pierced into the rock shell outside the assassin. Unlike Mikazuki Munechika, which was blocked outside, the bamboo spear pierced into the rock shell.

"Huhu------"

Looking at the bamboo spear that broke through the rock shell and stopped advancing in front of him, the assassin breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could take further action, he was horrified to find that the bamboo spear, which had stopped moving before, began to flash white light all over the body, and at the same time, the chakra fluctuations became more and more intense.

"Explode!"

Looking at the bamboo spear completely immersed in the rock shell, Liu Yu whispered.

"Boom------"

The rock shell suddenly exploded, and a large number of rock shell fragments flew everywhere in the violent explosion impact, and at the same time stirred up a lot of dust. The grass leaves around Liu Yu, under Liu Yu's control, blocked the shock wave generated by the explosion for Liu Yu. When the smoke and dust dissipated, only some of the remains and the bloody ground could be seen where the assassin was before.

Just as Liu Yu was dealing with the opponent in front of him, on the other side, the kunai in Minato Namikaze's hand was also against the neck of the last enemy.

"Is this the so-called 'yellow flash'?"

Feeling the coldness on his neck, the last assassin said to himself.

"Bang!"

The hand knife was raised and hit the back of the assassin's neck accurately, knocking him out. Minato Namikaze did not choose to kill the last enemy, he still needed to obtain more intelligence.

This assassination broke out suddenly, but ended quickly. Most of the assassins were dealt with by Minato Namikaze, and the remaining few assassins were dealt with by Liu Yu and the surrounding samurai.

When the battle was over, Liu Yu looked around. Seeing that the square that was bustling before and had a large number of people from the Land of Fire had become extremely empty, there were only scattered corpses and a large number of samurai who came and went to deal with the scene.

In addition to the assassins this time, there were also a large number of samurai and even some innocent people on the square.

On the other side, looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, Princess Himeko gently covered her mouth. It was not until now that she realized the cruelty of the ninja world. The battle between ninjas was never as cool as she thought, but full of blood and killing.

Watching Minato Namikaze solve a large number of enemies in just a few minutes, Princess Himeko also realized how presumptuous she was to challenge Minato Namikaze before.

After handing the captive to Liu Yu, Minato Namikaze turned and walked towards the daimyo. Looking at Minato Namikaze's back, Princess Himeko's eyes flashed with a strange look.

"Dai Ming, are you okay!"

Minato Namikaze came to the daimyo and greeted him softly. At this moment, the daimyo looked very ugly. Although the enemy's assassination attempt was unsuccessful, the blatant suicide attack at the climax of the Fire Emperor Festival was clearly a provocation to the Fire Country.

Although the enemies have been dealt with by the Hokage and his guards, this kind of provocation to the Fire Country is absolutely intolerable. Thinking of this, the daimyo looked at Minato Namikaze and asked solemnly: "Hokage, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Looking at the dozens of corpses lying not far away, Minato Namikaze's face flashed a trace of hesitation. Many of these assassins have very dark skin. They used swordsmanship and ninja physical skills in the battle. It is obvious that these people are from the Hidden Cloud Village. However, for the sake of insurance, Minato Namikaze still left a living person to obtain intelligence.

After Konoha and Kirigakure signed a peace agreement, the Hidden Cloud Village became the only hidden village that is still in a state of war with Konoha. However, although the two sides of Kumogakure and Konoha are still in a state of war, after the death of the Third Raikage, Konoha and Kumogakure only stationed a small number of ninjas in the Moon Country area to confront each other, and no large-scale conflict broke out again.

Originally, I thought that after this matter was over, I would send an envoy to the Kumogakure Village to conclude a peace agreement, but I didn't expect that the Kumogakure Village would actually send ninjas to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

If this matter is not handled well, Konoha and Kumogakure will not even be able to maintain the current superficial peace, and a new round of war will inevitably break out.

"Daimyō, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

However, the current Daimyo is obviously in a state of anger, and Namikaze Minato can only say so. It seems that I have to think about what to do after returning!
