Chapter 514 - Transactions (3)
The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire.
Daimyo's office.
A Daimyo's office official walked into the Daimyo's office.
"What's the matter?" asked the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, looking at the Daimyo Mansion official who walked into his office.
"Daimyo-sama, someone is asking to see you!" said the Daimyo-sama official.
"Who wants to see me?" asked the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.
"The person who came called himself Hinata Ichiro!" said the official of the Daimyo's Mansion.
"Hinata Ichiro!?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, "is it from the Hyuga clan?"
"We can't confirm if it's from the Hyuga clan!" said the Daimyo's official.
"I can't confirm if the person who came is from the Hyuga clan!?" asked the Daimyo of the Fire Nation with a frown, "What do you mean by that?"
"Although the visitor showed us the secret technique of the Hyuga clan's soft fist, the eyes of the visitor are not the white eyes of the Hyuga clan!" said the official of the Daimyo's Mansion, "Therefore, we can't confirm whether the person who came is from the Hyuga clan!"
When he heard the officials of the Daimyo Mansion say that Hinata Ichiro's eyes were not the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, a bright light flashed in the mind of the Daimyo of the Fire Country.
Immediately, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke: "I remember—in the case that someone who comes can perform the Hyuga clan's soft fist secret technique, if the eyes of the person who comes are not the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, then the person who comes should be Hyuga Ichiro!"
"Daimyo-sama, there are still no white-eyed clansmen in the Hyuga clan?" asked the official of the Daimyo Mansion with a surprised expression.
"There is no such thing as a Hyuga clan without white eyes!" said the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Daimyo-sama, why aren't Ichiro Hinata's eyes white?" asked the official of the Daimyo Mansion with a puzzled expression.
"According to the information I have, Hinata Ichiro voluntarily gave up his eyes!" said the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
After hearing the Daimyo of the Land of Fire say that Hinata Ichiro took the initiative to give up the white eyes he had, the officials of the Daimyo Mansion sighed.
"There are many wonders in the world!" the official of the Daimyo Mansion sighed.
"Hehe!" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire smiled at the sigh of the Daimyo's Mansion.
After the Daimyo of the Land of Fire confirmed that Ichiro Hinata was indeed a member of the Hyuga clan, the officials of the Daimyo Mansion needed to know if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would be willing to meet Ichiro Hinata - so that the officials of the Daimyo Mansion knew what they should do next.
"Daimyo-sama, have you summoned Ichiro Hinata?" asked the Daimyo-sama official.
Instead of expressing his opinion on whether or not he summoned Hinata Ichiro, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire asked, "What did Hinata Ichiro come to me for?"
"Daimyo-sama, Hinata Ichiro didn't say his purpose!" replied the Daimyo's Mansion official.
"Did you not ask Hinata Ichiro, or did Hinata Ichiro not want to tell you?" asked the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.
"It's Hinata Ichiro who doesn't want to tell us!" replied the daimyo official.
"Do you think I should see Ichiro Hinata?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, looking at the Daimyo's Mansion officials.
"Do you summon Ichiro Hinata and ask the Daimyo-sama to make his own decisions!" replied the Daimyo's Mansion's official.
Hearing what the officials of the Daimyo Mansion said, the Daimyo of the Fire Country thought in his heart: "Although Ighiro Hyuga is no longer the heir of the Hyuga clan, Ighiro Hinata's treatment in the Hyuga clan has never been reduced - that is, Ighiro Hinata has always enjoyed the treatment of the heir of the Hyuga clan!"
"At the same time, Hinata Ichiro is also a disciple of Tsunade Hime!"
"In the case that Tsunade Ji has been designated as the fifth Hokage, I should meet Hinata Ichiro!"
Thinking of this, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke: "Let Hinata Ichiro come over!"
"Yes, Daimyo-sama!" said the Daimyo's Mansion's official.
Subsequently, the officials of the Daimyo's Mansion walked out of the Daimyo's office.
……
A few minutes later.
Daimyo's office.
Hinata Ichiro sits opposite the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
After Hinata Ichiro greeted him, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire asked straight to the point, "Hinata Ichiro, what are you looking for me?"
"Daimyo-sama, I want to make a deal with you!" Hinata Ichiro said.
After Hinata Ichiro said this, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was stunned.
Immediately afterward, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire suspected that he had heard the wrong thing, or the Daimyo of the Land of Fire suspected that Ichiro Hinata had said the wrong thing.
"Hinata Ichiro, you said you wanted to make a deal with me?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said.
When Hinata Ichiro said 'yes', the Daimyo of the Land of Fire reacted the same as the current patriarch of the Senju clan of the Mori no Mori clan - the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was curious about what Ichiro Hinata wanted to make with him.
"Hehe!" the Daimyo of the Land of Fire smiled and asked, "Hinata Ichiro, what do you want to do with me?"
"Before I say anything about the deal, please transfer the guards around you!" Hinata Ichiro said.
After Hinata Ichiro spoke, a ninja appeared next to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
The ninja beside the Daimyo of the Land of Fire stared at Hinata Ichiro and said, "It is our responsibility to protect the safety of the Daimyo, so we can't leave the surroundings of the Daimyo!"
"In the case that I think it is not good for Daimyo-sama, even if all the ninjas of your guard organization are guarding around Daimyo-sama, you will not be able to protect the safety of Daimyo-sama!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"What a big breath!" said the ninja beside the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"I'm just stating a fact!" Hinata Ichiro said with a calm face.
Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, and seeing Hinata Ichiro's calm face, the ninja next to the Fire Country Daimyo said to the Fire Country Daimyo: "Daimyo-sama, please allow me to learn Hinata Ichiro's tricks!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at the ninja beside him, then at Ichiro Hinata, thought for a while, and said, "Don't be rude!"
When the Daimyo of the Land of Fire said the words 'Don't be rude', the ninja next to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire didn't say anything more.
Watching the ninja next to the Fire Nation Daimyo retreat to the side, Hinata Ichiro remembered his upcoming deal with the Fire Nation Daimyo.
So, Hinata Ichiro spoke: "Daimyo-sama, let me compare with the ninjas of the Konoe Agency!"
"In this way, it can also convince some people!"
"Hinata Ichiro, just because the Konoe Agency doesn't know your strength doesn't mean I don't know your strength!" said the Daimyo of Fire Country, "Through your public battle with Tsunade-hime, I know which level your strength is at!"
"Daimyo-sama, hearing is false, seeing is believing!" Hinata Ichiro said with a persistent face, "For some things, what you see with your own eyes is more convincing than what you hear with your own ears!"
"So, let me compare with the ninjas of the Konoe Agency!"
"Do you really insist on doing this?" asked the Fire Nation Daimyo with a frown.
"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"For the Fire Country, no matter who you hurt, the ending will not be happy!" said the Fire Country Daimyo, "So, in my opinion, forget it!"
"Daimyo-sama, don't worry—I won't attack in my contest with the ninjas of the Konoe Agency!" Hinata Ichiro said, "In this way, there will be no accidents that hurt people!"
"Don't attack!?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, "Hinata Ichiro, could it be that you only do defense?"
"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said, "If the ninjas of the Konoe Agency can hurt me in the slightest, I will admit defeat immediately!"
"After admitting defeat, I am willing to apologize to the ninjas of the Konoe Agency in public!"
Hinata Ichiro's words angered not only the ninjas beside the Fire Nation Daimyo but also the Guard Ninja who were secretly guarding around the Fire Nation Daimyo.
"Daimyo-sama, please allow me to learn Hinata Ichiro's mastery!" the ninja beside the Daimyo of the Land of Fire pleaded with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Because Hinata Ichiro despises the ninjas of the Konoe Agency is equivalent to Hinata Ichiro despises himself as a daimyo, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire does not like Hinata Ichiro's words - after all, the ninjas of the Konoe Agency are all protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Hinata Ichiro, and said with a pale face: "Hinata Ichiro, since you insist on competing with the guard agency, then I won't stop it!"
"Thank you, Daimyo-sama!" Hinata Ichiro thanked.
After thanking him, Hinata Ichiro looked at the ninja beside the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and said, "If I guessed correctly, your status in the Konoe Agency should not be low!"
"I'm the leader of the Konoe Agency—Kobayashi Saemon!" Kobayashi Saemon said.
After glancing at Kobayashi Saemon, Hinata Ichiro looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and said, "Daimyo-sama, please allow me to use the large square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion as the location of the competition!"
"Yes!" the Daimyo of the Land of Fire agreed.
Seeing that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire agreed, Hinata Ichiro looked at Kobayashi Saemon again and said, "Chief Kobayashi, before my competition with the Konoe Agency begins, I would like to ask you to gather all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency to the main square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion!"
Kobayashi Saemon stared at Ichiro Hinata and asked, "Ichiro Hinata, what are you asking me to gather all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency?"
"I asked you to gather all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency for only one purpose - that is, to let all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency understand the meaning of 'there are people outside the human body, and there is a sky outside the sky'!" Hinata Ichiro said, "After the competition starts, all the ninjas of your Konoe Agency can attack me unscrupulously!"
"Why do you need to gather all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency!" Kobayashi Saemon said, "I can subdue you alone!"
Hearing Kobayashi Saemon say this, Hinata Ichiro also knew that it was impossible for Kobayashi Saemon to summon all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency to the main square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion.
So, Hinata Ichiro looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and said, "Daimyo-sama, please order all the ninjas of the Konoe Agency to be summoned to the main square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion!"
"Hinata Ichiro, there's no need to be so popular!" said the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Daimyo-sama, it's better for all the ninjas of the Konoei agency to gather in the main square in front of the Daimyo's mansion!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Of course, if the Daimyo-sama is unwilling, I won't force it!"
Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire showed a look of hesitation on his face.
Seeing the hesitation on the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Kobayashi Saemon spoke: "Daimyo-sama, please believe me!"
"Harmony is precious!" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire first glanced at Kobayashi Saemon, then at Hinata Ichiro, and said, "Among the Konoe organs, Saemon is the strongest!"
"Hinata Ichiro, if Saemon can't hurt you in the slightest, then the other ninjas in the Konoe Agency will also hurt you in the slightest!"
"So, Saemon will compete with you alone!"
"Okay!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Since Daimyos-sama said so, then do as Daimy-sama wants!"
After Hinata Ichiro agreed, the competition between Hinata Ichiro and Kobayashi Saemon was decided.
After that, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Ichiro Hinata and Saemon Kobayashi walked out of the office of the Daimyo Mansion together.
……
The main square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Under the orders of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, only Ichiro Hinata and Saemon Kobayashi were left in the main square in front of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Hinata Ichiro looked at Kobayashi Saemon and asked, "Chief Kobayashi, are you ready for the competition?"
"I'm ready for the competition!" said Kobayashi Saemon.
"Now that you're ready to compete, you can do it!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Then you're welcome!" said Kobayashi Saemon.
The next second after Kobayashi Saemon finished speaking, Kobayashi Saemon ran to the place where Hinata Ichiro was.
When Kobayashi Saemon approached him at an alarming speed, Hinata Ichiro neither dodged nor assumed a defensive posture - Hinata Ichiro stood motionless in a position with his back hand.
Seeing Hinata Ichiro standing motionless in the position of his back hand, the anger in Kobayashi Saemon's heart was even greater than before - in Kobayashi Saemon's opinion, Hinata Ichiro was using his actions to verify his words of contempt for himself and the Konoe Agency.
Under the anger, Kobayashi Saemon's speed increased by a few points.
Two seconds later.
Kobayashi Saemon came two meters in front of Hinata Ichiro.
Looking at Hinata Ichiro, who was close at hand, Kobayashi Saemon who was running waved his fist full of anger.
Unfortunately, Kobayashi Saemon's angry fist didn't hit Hinata Ichiro - the invisible barrier kept Kobayashi Saemon's fist at a meter away from Hinata Ichiro.
When he felt his fist hit something like a defensive shield, Kobayashi Saemon knew that his fist would not be able to attack Hinata Ichiro.
Realizing that his first attack was ineffective, Kobayashi Saemon immediately stepped back.
As he stepped back, Kobayashi Saemon's hands quickly sealed.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
Suddenly, a huge fireball erupted from Kobayashi Saemon's mouth.
Immediately after, a huge fireball attacked Hinata Ichiro.
"Boom-"
With a loud bang, a huge fireball exploded a meter away from Ichiro Hinata.
Kobayashi Saemon wasn't surprised that the huge fireball exploded a meter away from Hinata Ichiro - after all, Kobayashi Saemon knew through the first round of attacks that something resembling a defensive shield existed around Hinata Ichiro.
When the scorching wave of air generated by the explosion of the huge fireball came to his face, Kobayashi Saemon knew that the power of the huge fireball was fully realized.
Seeing that the power of the huge fireball was fully exerted, the corners of Kobayashi Saemon's mouth raised slightly - in Kobayashi Saemon's opinion, even if the huge fireball could not hurt Hinata Ichiro himself, it should be able to break the similar defensive shield around Hinata Ichiro.
