Chapter 22: The Killer
The young man walked as he walked, smiling with restraint between his eyebrows and eyes, looking as harmless as the young people who could be seen everywhere on the street.
But everyone present believed that this was just a disguise of that person, because it was under the hands of this young man that an imposing ninja had just died!
"Hattori...... Hanzo ...... Ahem......"
Yusuke Konoemon lay on the ground weakly, and his body was so badly injured by the strong shock that he couldn't even get up from the ground.
Hearing this obviously fake name, there was a slight mockery in his eyes, and then it turned to self-deprecation, as well as a deep sense of confusion:
The murder game that he had devised with all his might and took the opportunity to clean up a large number of dissidents, giving up all his dignity, finally came up with a foolproof plan, but now it was easily crushed in the hands of that young man......
For a moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
And in addition to the newly enthroned city lord, in the hall, who had not died in the killing of Nakamura Koichi, the remaining guards in the shock of the young man looked at him tremblingly, and unconsciously retreated, the shock brought to them by the previous scene was too great, and the large pit several meters deep in the field showed what kind of force the young man had in his hands, without any hesitation, they trembled and shouted, "Monster! You monster! He threw down his blade and fled backwards in a frenzy!
"Don't run, XP!"
The young man squinted and smiled, and chased after him like a walk, and said words that no one could understand, only to see that he seemed to shrink into inches, and every step was extremely strange to cross the distance, and at the same time, those guards also seemed to have encountered some kind of ghost possession, and suddenly slowed down one by one in the process of running!
The figure of the young man who called himself Hattori Hanzo flashed, and he swept to the side of one of the guards at the end at a speed that was indistinctible to the naked eye, he squinted and smiled, looking gentle and pure, but at the same time, a kunai was already sandwiched between the two fingers of his right hand, and he waved it easily and casually, like a painter wiping it-
"Whew!"
A fountain of blood erupted from the guard's neck into the sky!
The guard fell limply with terrified eyes, but by this time, the young man had already swept over to the second man!
"Whew!"
A second fountain of blood erupts!
Then came the third, fourth, and more!
In the blink of an eye, at most a few steps for ordinary people, the young man had already slashed the throats of all the remaining guards with the grace and swiftness of painting!
Many people had been killed, but the young man's clothes were still spotless.
He smiled and walked backwards in a pool of blood, his steps steady and natural.
Slowly walking back into the hall, the young man walked up to Yusuke Koemon.
As if he had anticipated his end, the city lord raised his head as hard as he could, looked at the young man in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Who are you...... Why the hell are you here...... Come and help meet and build that man! β
"Oh, me? You guessed it wrong, I wasn't here to help the man over there - to be honest, I didn't know who the man was before tonight, and I only had a one-sided relationship with him. β
"Then why are you ......?"
"Because I want to kill someone!"
The young man named Hattori Hanzo squatted down and looked at him generously and tolerantly like a mature and wise middle-aged man, but that kind of obviously warm eyes fell on Yusuke Konoemon's eyes, which made him shudder.
"How can you get experience points if you don't kill people? How can I level up without gaining XP? How can you survive without leveling up? In such a dangerous ninja world, if a kind, gentle and kind person like me doesn't have the power to protect himself, it's just too much of a bully, you mean, cutie? β
Hattori Hanzo gently patted Yusuke Konoemon on the head and grinned.
A chill gradually surged up Konomon's back:
This guy seems to be crazy......
I don't know why, looking at this guy's performance, a cold feeling in his heart gradually spread, and even covered up the previous unwillingness, pain, and raging anger.
"You...... Can you please let me go......"
Yusuke Konoemon swallowed, he comforted himself, and he had nothing to worry about with a madman, while squeezing out a flattering smile:
"I am the lord of Tsujino Castle, and there is a treasure trove in the mansion that contains many things that are valuable to a powerful ninja like you...... And I'll give you five million, no, fifty million taels, and I can be your puppet and help you rule the city. β
"Hmm...... Sounds good......"
Hattori Hanzo scratched his chin with a pensive look.
Yusuke Konomon was overjoyed and immediately said loudly:
"My lord, I can ...... this city if you want"
"Bang!"
A bang suddenly sounded in the hall!
The joy in Konomon's eyes had not faded, and with strong doubts, he looked at the man in front of him whose eyes suddenly changed from mild to bone-chilling, and slowly fell down.
Hattori Hanzo withdrew his right hand, which had split Yusuke Koemon earlier, smiled faintly, and said as an explanation:
"It's a shame...... For me, it's still more valuable for you to be dead......"
Shaking his head slightly, Hattori Hanzo stood up.
Turning around calmly, the young man walked in the direction of Tsuji and Tsuji, who was still looking at the man in front of him at this time, his eyes sad and dazed.
Standing in front of the two of them, no, it should be said that standing in front of a person and a corpse, Hattori Hanzo looked at her, moved his mouth, and before he could say anything, suddenly there was a "bang", and the smoke dispersed in place, revealing the figure of a child.
- It was Su Zeying.
Tsuji raised his head, a little stunned, not knowing what to say, but then his eyes became indifferent, and he still didn't say anything after all.
"Transformation is really unstableβno wonder it's just E-class ninjutsu."
Su Zeying scratched the back of her head and smiled.
He took a step forward and pulled out a gleaming silver bolt from Tsujizo's back. As soon as the thing left, Tsuji felt more relaxed than ever, and the pain disappeared for a while, but she still pursed her mouth tightly, as if she didn't know what to say, and her eyes wandered at the body of the scar-faced man.
"Quite an interesting poison needle, but it's not powerful enough."
Su Zeying muttered to himself and commented, and then picked up a long knife that fell next to the scattered corpse of Lu Qingkui, which looked like it was just an ordinary long sword, but as soon as it was instilled with chakra, it would emit lightning.
"Is this the legendary Thor's sword?"
Su Zeying smiled mockingly, holding the knife, and sneered.
With a flick of the blade, there was a stiff sound like gold and iron clashing.
"Ding......
"No wonder a mid-ninja can be taken out of the village, it turns out to be just an imitation."
Su Zeying shrugged, but still put it in his waist.
"It's not an artifact, but it's quite hard, so let's take it."
Saying this, Su Zeying turned to face Tsuji Zofu again, and looked at her quietly.
Tsujizo hugged the body of the man who was supposed to be Koichi Nakamura to her expressionlessly, and said softly:
"Su Zeying, Hattori Hanzo...... Which one is you? β
"Hattori Hanzo is just a disguise...... It's a kind of mask, a kind of identity. He's the shell of what I'm going to do that 'I' can't tolerate, and you're supposed to be the number one and only one in this ninja world who knows the secret. β
Su Zeying said lightly.
Tsuji didn't speak.
"I avenged you, do you have anything to say?"
Su Zeying half-squatted, looking at her with clear eyes.
Tsuji looked at the corpse in his hand, and his body suddenly trembled:
"I ...... I regret ......."
She smiled patheticly, a blank smile that transcended life and death, almost desperate, with no emotion in it.
"Hmm. Any other requests? β
Su Zeying said softly, and suddenly said something very incomprehensible.
Tsuji understood, was silent for a moment, and then laughed again.
"What a heartless child...... You're going to grow up to be a terrible person in the future. β
Saying this, she smiled softly as if she was relieved, looked at Su Zeying, and said calmly:
"Thank you, please bring me and Mr. Nakamura...... Buried together. β
"You're welcome."
Su Zeying responded lightly, and suddenly the long knife was withdrawn, and the soft and charming sword light like flowing water lit up, although there was no chakra operation, nor any swordsmanship techniques, but it was as charming as flowing moonlight.
"Snort."
The moonlight was stained with blood, and the woman's head fell meekly to the ground.
"Dingβ"
With a flick of the blade, the light on the blade was cool and sharp.
Su Zeying stood up, stood up casually, and suddenly sighed lonely.
"It must be a very painful thing to lose all the desire to live, but still have to live lonely because of the debts you have borne in the past...... In that case, I'll help you make the mistake. β
"No thanks."
"Because this is your heart's desire, but it is also a request for me to hide my identity."
Holding a long knife, he once again performed the transformation technique, and the young man named Hattori Hanzo gently picked up the woman's head, and cut off Nakamura Koichi's head, and at the same time held it up, and stuck the long knife at his waist, and walked out with the blood and moonlight that were getting colder and thinner.
The blood in the City Lord's Mansion has finally stopped, and the night is finally coming to an end.
And in the distance, as far as the eye can see, a blurred figure gradually appears, like an abrupt black dot.
