Chapter 9 A Narrow Encounter
By the time the patriarch Cangdou ordered his subordinates to secretly strengthen their vigilance, Soichiro and Elder Kirishima had also reached an exchange of interests, and all parties couldn't help but prepare intensively for the upcoming battle in the evening.

Of course, Soichiro didn't know at this time that he was going to fight with the patriarch as soon as he got on the boat, otherwise, even if there was the temptation to behead the big knife, I am afraid he would not agree so easily.
Kirishima persuaded Soichiro to join him, and only then did he feel more confident about what he was planning. Originally, Cangdou's side was already at a disadvantage, and now Soichiro has directly defected, although this does not mean that the former patriarch and the old department will all follow suit, but it is definitely a major blow to the morale of the other party.
With such a happy mood, Kirishima used the transformation technique to transform into an ordinary middle-aged ninja and returned to his mansion.
But as soon as he returned to his home, Kirishima realized that something was wrong. The people who had already left before had returned to their homes and were talking to each other restlessly.
When Kirishima saw the situation of several people, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. These people don't take the initiative to see themselves when they can't summon them on weekdays, but now when they come to see themselves at this time, I'm afraid something big has happened.
But he didn't know how many winds and waves he had experienced in his life, and even if he found that something was wrong, he was still able to calm down. walked up to a few people and said in his original voice, "Gentlemen, why are you so flustered?"
A few people saw a middle-aged ninja who they had never seen before walking towards them, and they thought it was a little strange, but as soon as the ninja spoke, they knew that it was Elder Kirishima. I didn't have time to think about why Kirishima still maintained the transformation technique in his own home, so while following Kirishima, he whispered to Kirishima: "My lord, something is wrong, Kojiro is gone." ”
It turned out that after leaving Kirishima, several of them wanted to gather to discuss a specific plan of action for the evening. Because they don't think much of Kojiro for these things, they were originally reluctant to invite Kojiro. But this time it was about everyone's net worth and lives, so everyone discussed it and sent someone to invite Kojiro again. But when their people arrived at Kojiro's house, they found that Kojiro had long since disappeared, and his family was vague about his whereabouts.
A few people knew that something was wrong, and immediately visited Kirishima to seek countermeasures. How do you know that Kirishima is also not sitting at home, everyone thinks that the plan of themselves and others has been discovered, and they are discussing what to do in a panic. However, fortunately, Kirishima returned home in time, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos would have happened.
Kirishima frowned when he heard everyone say that Kojiro was missing.
In fact, thanks to the dog-legged image that Kojiro usually shows in front of Kirishima. Not only Kirishima himself, but others couldn't have imagined that Kojiro would sell Kirishima so cleanly for a while.
Just as Kirishima was secretly thinking about how to deal with this matter, news came from the patriarch's wife: the patriarch's wife planned to move to the former patriarch's house with her children.
After Cangdou succeeded as the patriarch, because the residents around the former patriarch's house were the former patriarch's old department, they did not live in that house. Instead, he renovated his house and used it as a place to handle the affairs of the clan.
After Michiko married Cangdou, she naturally followed Cangdou to live in his house. The former patriarch's residence was no longer suitable for ordinary people, so it was left unused.
Those who experienced last night's turmoil naturally knew that the patriarch's wife was making such a fuss. For ordinary clansmen, this is just the gossip of the patriarch and his wife, but when the people of Kirishima heard the news, they glanced at each other and immediately reacted that this was a godsend.
The patriarch's protective measures for the patriarch's wife are specially formulated, although the protection is tight, but also the requirements for details are very high. Now that the patriarch's wife has to temporarily change her residence, it is inevitable that there will be a loophole in the protection measures for the patriarch's wife.
Thinking of this, Kirishima and several of his subordinates looked at each other, their faces full of joy.
Kirishima opened his mouth and said, "It seems that the heavens are also going to help us, everyone, immediately mobilize your own ninjas to gather here." As soon as Michiko departs, we'll see them off on their way. ”
Someone asked, "What about Kojiro?"
Kirishima replied, "Kojiro may have had an accident, or Cangdou sniffed out something wrong." However, ladies and gentlemen, there is no way back for you and me. Although Kojiro-kun is not strong enough, everyone knows his loyalty to me. I think there will be no problems on his side in the short term. At this point, Kirishima cleared his throat before continuing, "Guys, we must strike a lethal blow this time. Even if Cangdou saw that something was wrong, he probably wouldn't have imagined that we would decisively assassinate his son. As for Kojiro-kun, although he may be in danger right now, we must concentrate our efforts and only rescue him when the matter is over. ”
Because Kojiro is too successful in disguise on weekdays, even now, Kirishima and the others still think that Kojiro will never betray Kirishima even if he encounters danger.
As he spoke, the ninja who was in charge of monitoring the patriarch's wife came back to report that although the patriarch disagreed, Soichiro had forcibly taken Michiko's mother and son away, and now it is estimated that he has arrived at the former patriarch's old residence.
When everyone heard the news, they all thought that Soichiro's move was signaled by Kirishima, and they couldn't help but have more confidence in the actions of themselves and others. Kirishima hadn't even told Soichiro that he and the others were about to assassinate the patriarch's son, so how could he give such an order. Others don't know about this, but don't you know about it?
Kirishima couldn't help but be ecstatic at this time, he didn't expect Soichiro to have controlled Michiko's mother and son, although it was difficult to assassinate during the day, but as long as he mastered the biggest bargaining chip of this Cangdou, what else could not be discussed? ”
"Hey!"
In fact, Soto knew that Michiko wanted to move back to the former patriarch's old residence earlier than Kirishima, and he soon learned that Soichiro had forcibly taken Michiko's mother and son.
It's a pity that the clansmen present at the time only saw that the patriarch's wife insisted on returning to the former patriarch's old residence, and they didn't know that Soichiro might have defected to Kirishima. On both sides, one is the patriarch and the other is the patriarch's wife, and they can't afford to offend either side. Therefore, later, Soichiro came forward and semi-cooperated with Soichiro to take Michiko's mother and son away, and he and others also followed the patriarch's wife to the former patriarch's old mansion to continue to protect the safety of the patriarch's wife and the patriarch's son.
Now that Michiko's mother and son have been taken to the former patriarch's old mansion by Soichiro, Cangdou has no choice but to continue to send more people to strengthen the protective power of Michiko's mother and son.
Cangdou himself went to meet the water shadow, and once his side was at a disadvantage, he could also use the intervention of the village to turn the tables. Of course, once the village intervenes, Mizuki will inevitably pay a huge price to the village and the second-generation Mizukage's family, the Ghost Lantern Clan, and it will also lead to a lot of opposition within the clan. But when it really comes, Cangdou has no choice, if she can't get water and no moon, Cangdou would rather destroy her.
This is also a big difference between Cangdou and Kirishima. Therefore, although Cangdou and Kirishima usually oppose the rampant domineering of the Ghost Lantern Clan, Kirishima belongs to the type that never compromises, and Cangdou does not adhere to his principles very much. In other words, in Cangdou's heart, there are no principles that must be followed.
The ninja's speed of action was very fast, so even if the residence of Mizuki was very large, Kirishima and the others quickly arrived at the former patriarch's residence.
Kirishima and the others were thinking that they were about to control Michiko's mother and son at this time, and then asked the patriarch Cangdou to compromise, but they didn't expect that they and the others met Soichiro who was leisurely traveling and preparing to go home near the former patriarch's old house.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Kirishima's anxious voice immediately rang out: "Soichiro, what about Michiko's mother and son?!"
Soichiro didn't know that Kirishima planned to assassinate the patriarch's son immediately, and originally just wanted to show that he was on Michiko's side by forcibly taking Michiko's mother and son, and by the way, he handed over his name to Kirishima, who would have thought that Kirishima would rush over with a large number of ninjas at this time.
But Soichiro is worthy of being a powerful figure who has experienced many ups and downs, and immediately reacted: Kirishima and others want to control Michiko's mother and son by force, and coerce the son of the patriarch to gain self-respect.
After understanding this situation, Soichiro hated it in his heart. Originally, he wanted to take refuge with Elder Kirishima first, but he also left a way back for Michiko. In the future, if the situation is not good, he will become a close confidant of the little young master through Michiko's way, and at that time he will be a veteran of the three dynasties who has gone through the previous patriarch, Michiko, and the little young master, and a great future is just around the corner.
But now, Kirishima directly uses force, which is to tear his face with the patriarch and fight to the death. Thinking about this clearly, Soichiro immediately understood that he couldn't get off the boat at all, and even if he jumped back in battle, the patriarch would no longer be able to tolerate himself. At this moment, no amount of resentment is useless. Immediately shouted to Kirishima: "Mrs. Mother and son are in the old house of the previous patriarch, Lord Kirishima, come with me." ”
Kirishima didn't care to explain to his subordinates at this time why Soichiro took the initiative to give up control after controlling Michiko's mother and son, and immediately hurriedly led the ninjas to follow Soichiro to the old house of the former patriarch.
When they arrived at their destination, everyone immediately realized that the situation was wrong. There was no one outside the former patriarch's mansion, and the mansion was quiet, without a sound.
Kirishima still held on to the hope of what happened, and motioned Soichiro to go up and earn the door with his eyes. Soichiro received Kirishima's gesture and nodded to Kirishima. He stepped forward and pushed the door, but when he found that he couldn't push it, he shouted to the wall, "Is there anyone inside?" I'm Soichiro Mizuki Mutsuki, and I have something to report to Michiko-sama, so quickly open the door with me." ”
After waiting for a while, I found that there was still no answer. He continued to shout, "Is Shota inside?" "Shota is Soichiro's brother-in-law and has always been Soichiro's hardcore confidant.
This time, there was finally a response inside, and a bloody human head was thrown out through the courtyard wall, and everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be the head of Shota Shui Wuyue. Soichiro has always had a close relationship with Shota, and he has always been treated as a younger brother. At this time, when he saw Shota's head, although his heart was already extremely angry, his expression became more and more calm, and he asked in a cold voice to the courtyard: "Who killed my wife and brother? Why did you kill my wife and brother? Don't you know my reputation as 'Oniichiro'? Aren't you afraid of destroying your family and destroying your family?"
Someone in the courtyard replied loudly: "Soichiro, you disloyal and unrighteous person, dare to join forces with Elder Kirishima to attempt to kidnap the patriarch's wife and the young master! If you are caught now, I can still ask the patriarch to spare your life, but if you are stubborn again, not only your own life, but also the lives of your family!" It turned out that the people sent by the patriarch Cangdou immediately purged Soichiro's cronies after discovering that Kirishima was leading a large number of ninjas here, and now they hope to rely on the former patriarch's mansion to stand by for help.
While they were talking here, another group of ninjas came behind Kirishima and the others. The group of ninjas slowed down when they realized what seemed to be a confrontation on this side. Seeing this, Kirishima immediately considered whether to try to persuade them to join his side or start fighting directly.
At this time, reinforcements were also found in the courtyard, and the voice just now shouted again: "Is it Kenzaburo?" Elder Kirishima and Soichiro are committing the following crimes, intending to kidnap Mrs. Michiko and the young master, and quickly cooperate with me to eliminate them. ”
The ninja who came was the reinforcement sent by Cangdou for this side, and the leader was Cangdou's diehard, and when he heard the shouts in the courtyard, he didn't care that the strength of his side was obviously weaker than Kirishima and his party, and he immediately ordered an attack.
A large wave of ice kun and ice Qianben immediately shot from the courtyard and Kenzaburo and his party towards Elder Kirishima and his party.
