The next morning, I went to the Shadows, and all the people in the Shadows had assembled.

"Hokage-sama, everyone has arrived. "Shadows.

"You have only one task, and that is to ...... me.

"Act now. "Me.

"Yes. ”

Then I came to the inn, and the messenger had just gotten up.

"I didn't know that Hokage-sama had arrived, and I was disappointed. "Messenger.

"It's okay, if you're ready, let's go. "Me.

"Yes. "Messenger.

So, we set out, and of course I had only the samurai accompanying the messengers.

"I wonder what kind of person the prince is?" I asked.

"The prince has a calm personality, is thoughtful, likes to read books, and has also practiced swordsmanship. "Messenger.

"And what about his relationship with his family?"

"The relationship between the prince and his family is very harmonious. "Messenger.

"Did he say anything about the time he disappeared?"

"Because the prince came back covered in bruises, and his family was dead...... No, he died, and we were worried that the prince might not be able to bear it, so we didn't ask about the disappearance period. "Messenger.

And so it was. I thought to myself, "Let me tell you what happened during your disappearance, hahahaha......"

（！————）

In the evening, we arrived at the royal city, at the gates, with white flags hung.

After entering, the messenger returned to the palace, and I came to the inn, and said to the shopkeeper, "The food is the same as before." ”

After that, I went back to my room, and when I got back to the room, a dark part was already waiting in the room.

"Hokage-sama. "Shadows.

"How's everyone getting ready?" I asked.

"It's all ready. "Shadows.

"You go back and tell everyone that the chances of the God Slayer acting within two days after tomorrow are very high...... No, they will definitely act, and everyone must be fully focused. "Me.

"Yes. The shadows left.

After the dark part left, I also left the room, went to the counter, and said to the store manager, "I'm going out, and the food will be delivered when I get back." ”

I went down the street and found that every storefront was covered with white cloth or white flowers.

On the street, there is no longer the bustle of the past, after all, so many people have died, you may think that even survival has become a luxury.

In a jewelry store.

"Daddy, what are we doing here?"

"A few days ago, you had a birthday, and Dad was not at home on business and couldn't celebrate for you, so today Dad came to take you with nothing and nothing is considered compensation for Dad. "Dad.

The daughter looked around, and her last gaze was locked on a relatively cheap and beautiful hairpin.

"Dad has money, choose a good-looking one. "Dad.

"No, this one is beautiful. "Daughter.

"Boss, how much does this cost?"

"Guest, due to the incident a few days ago, the supply of goods is insufficient, and this hairpin has risen to 1,000 yuan. "Boss.

"It's okay, I'm in business, I can understand. Dad took out his wallet and took out a 1,000 yuan card and gave it to the store.

"Guests walk slowly, welcome to come back next time. "Boss.

The father and daughter left.

"Speaking of birthdays, it seems that Xiaoxue was also a birthday a few days ago......" I recalled.

"It's not too late to buy now. "I walked into the store.

I looked at it, I didn't know what to buy, and when I looked around, I saw a bracelet with exquisite workmanship and beautiful workmanship, and if I gave it to Xiaoxue, she would be happy, and when I took it off the hook and was about to check out, I remembered Nami and Xia Yun again, and bought one for them too, after all, they are also very hard.

"Boss, how much are these three?"

"Children, these three have a total of 68,700 yuan. "Boss.

Anyway, I had the money with me, and after paying the money, I went back to the station.

（！————）

Early the next morning, I "changed" into my funeral dress and went to the palace under the guidance of the attendants.

"Hokage-sama. "Prince.

"His Royal Highness. "Me.

"I'm sorry for Ling Zun's death. I apologize.

"No, it's me who should apologize, I didn't expect Ling Mei to ...... too."

"Your Royal Highness, the messenger of the land has arrived. "Waiter.

"I'll miss it first. After saying that, the prince left.

The attendant welcomed me into the main hall, and when I entered the main hall, I took a look and saw that the coffin of the daimyo was in the middle, and there were black and white photos of the daimyo on the wall, and there were many wreaths, and the envoys of various countries were also in the hall.

I stood inside for a while, and then came out of the temple under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Outside the temple, there was a man who looked like no one else, and I slowly approached him.

"What is the situation, everything is as the adults expected. "That man.

"That's good. ”

"I'll take my leave. And the man departed.

"Hmph, I've won this game. I thought to myself.

At around 10 o'clock, the funeral officially began.

First the minister stepped forward to give the opening speech, then the prince, and then the envoys of various countries, I did not listen carefully, after all, these clichés have been heard many times at the funerals of the four generations.

"There should be no one to destroy the gods...... "I looked at the crowd.

After the eulogy, we closed our eyes and observed a moment of silence.

At about 12 o'clock, it was over for the time being, everyone had rested, and the prince was still kneeling in front of the coffin, and I smiled and went to eat.

In the afternoon, the minister sang the praises of the daimyo's exploits during his lifetime......

（！————）

At night, the prince kept vigil in front of the coffin of the daimyo.

"Go down, you all go down, you're tired after a busy day. The prince said to the servants around him.

"Yes. And the servants departed.

"Whew...... ......After the servants had left, the prince immediately stood up, looked around, and there was no one but himself, and sat down with peace of mind.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, two people came to the door.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......" knock on the door 3 times regularly.

"My father is dead, who will come to the banquet?"

"I came to the banquet just for a glass of wine. ”

"Lord Golden Shadow, Lord Wolf Daimyo. The prince opened the door, let the two of them in, looked around again to see if there was anyone, and then closed the door, after which the wolf daimyo stood at the door, watching the outside of the room.

"Lord Dark has asked me to come and see the situation. "Golden Shadow.

"The situation is just as expected by the Dark Lord. "Prince.

"According to the intelligence, the fifth generation Hokage sent a large number of ninjas, and only the villagers and the lower ninja are left in Konoha Village, and their target should be our organization, so, for a period of time in the future, we will not contact you for the time being, you have to do your task well. "Golden Shadow.

"I've sent someone to spy on Konoha, and we haven't left any evidence, so I don't think he can suspect me. "Prince.

"As soon as the mission is hindered, or if you have the possibility of being exposed, we will step in immediately. ”

"Yes. "Prince.

"Okay, be careful. "Golden Shadow wants to leave.

"Greetings, sir. "Prince.
