Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 143 Sled

Once everyone was present, Hua Ling threw a pile of documents on the table in front of them. "Don't bring all your trivial matters to me. I set up this government agency not so you could cause me trouble."

"If you can't even handle this small matter, then we'll find someone else to do it!"

"But if you dare to abuse your power, don't blame me for being impolite."

She drew a knife from the waist of one of the guards and slit one of their throats.

They thought the lord had changed his ways and hadn't killed anyone in a long time, but he actually did it right in front of them. These adults immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Alright, you may leave!"

Hua Ling returned the sword to its sheath, turned and left the main hall for the shooting range. After shooting over a hundred arrows, her frustration finally subsided.

Three days later, Hua Ling left the Daimyo's residence, mounted her horse, and headed towards the Land of Iron. She was accompanied by thirty carefully selected subordinates, including ninjas and samurai, as well as four members of the Anbu, led by Kakashi, lurking in the shadows.

Even a Kage-level ninja would have to think twice before attempting to assassinate this lineup.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Hua Ling fired three arrows simultaneously, hitting three small birds in the sky at the same time.

"Start grilling!" she ordered, then went to rest in the tent her men had set up.

After some time, a samurai called out in front of the tent, "Daimyo, it's time to eat."

"Okay, I understand!" she replied softly, straightened her clothes, and walked out.

She took one bite and frowned. "How dare you serve something this awful?"

"Take it away and eat it yourselves!"

"Oh, right, call Asuma and Kazuma over here."

Hua Ling sipped her tea, looked at the two people in front of her, and slowly asked, "I heard that you two have been having a fight recently. Can you tell me about it?"

Seeing that the two remained silent, she continued, "Could it be because of a woman?"

"Daimyo, that's not true."

"Daming, I'm already married," they both said at the same time.

Hua Ling said "Oh," and then continued, "Asma, that's not right of you. How could you even try to steal a married person?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. Asuma's face instantly turned bright red, and he lowered his head. "What is all this nonsense? How could he possibly like men?"

Just as she was about to continue her rambling, Asuma and Kazuma quickly spoke up, "Daimyo, could you please find somewhere else to talk..."

"Come to my tent!" Hua Ling got up and left first, and the two exchanged a glance and followed.

"Alright, you can speak now!" She sat in the chair, propping her chin up, waiting for them to speak.

Hua Ling listened for a while, and sure enough, it was the matter she was thinking about, the 'battle between the two jades'. Finally, she said, "You guys are really idle. If you're so idle, you might as well do more of the things I asked you to do."

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Also, Kazuma, I'm not trying to say this about you, but if Konoha really ceases to exist, the other four countries will definitely gang up on it. Have you considered that?"

"I am still honored by your admiration. So please do my job well and create a different kind of Fire Kingdom."

"After this trip to the Land of Iron is over, bring your son to the Daimyo Prefecture. I have a way to resolve the power sealed within him."

"Alright, I need to rest now, you can all leave!" She yawned and waved her hand.

After some time, a guard bowed respectfully in front of the tent and said, "My lord, the vehicle prepared according to your instructions is ready."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ling got up and stepped out of the tent, where she saw eight huskies pulling a sled in the distance.

"Well done, here's a piece of gold for you." She took out a piece of gold from her bosom and tossed it over.

Sitting on the sled, Hua Ling rushed off without waiting for the people she had brought, shouting, "I'm going first!"

Zhi Shui was the first to react and chase after them, but the horse was no match for the speed of the sled in the snow, and the distance between them widened in no time.

"Daimyo!"

Everyone was startled, quickly packed their things, mounted their horses, and gave chase.

"Why would someone have such a capricious name?!"

They couldn't even imagine what would happen if they were assassinated.

According to them, Hua Ling did indeed encounter an assassination attempt.

She spotted the ninja hiding in the snow from afar. Bored, she picked up a bow and arrow, drew the bow, aimed, and fired in one smooth motion.

"Such a small group of people dares to attempt an assassination? They haven't even had enough fun yet." Hua Ling snorted as she controlled the sled to pass through more than a dozen corpses.

She hadn't run far when she was attacked again, "and it seems like they're not the same kind of people as the ones from before."

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but it didn't stop her from firing the arrow. "Very good, all three arrows hit their mark."

“Next, let’s try firing all five arrows at once!” She stood on the sled, wearing a long black robe embroidered with gold patterns, her long black hair styled into a high ponytail tied with a black and gold ribbon, looking very dashing.

At this moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint, disdainful smile appearing on her face.

"call out..."

Five arrows were fired simultaneously, hitting the charging ninja, and all of them struck him squarely between the eyebrows.

The assassinations continued, but without exception, they all died before they could even get close to the target, struck by the Flower Spirit Arrow.

The guards on horseback who came to protect them were shocked to see the corpses on the ground; all of them had been killed with a single arrow.

Some hit right between the eyebrows, some right in the throat, and some even hit the heart. "What amazing archery skills! Could this be the work of a daimyo?"

They quickly checked the situation and then gave up and gave chase.

"This must be the third wave of assassinations!" Hua Ling stopped the sled, looking utterly frustrated. "Could it be that each of the other four great kingdoms has sent a group of assassins to carry out the attack?"

Because she was delayed on the road, Shisui finally caught up with her, looking worried. "Daimyo, this is too dangerous for you."

"It's Shisui!" She raised her eyelids slightly, then drew her bow and shot an arrow toward Shisui's location. "Whoosh..." A ninja who had just emerged from the ground beside Shisui was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground.

Be careful!

"Also, I'm out of arrows. I'll have to watch your 'Still Water' performance, but you can trust me with your back." She walked to his side and leaned against him, saying this.

"Your name...?"

"Fight back properly. I haven't lived enough yet. I haven't seen you become Hokage. I don't want to die." Hua Ling kicked over a ninja who was attacking her.

Shisui stopped speaking and focused his mind. He drew the short sword from his back, and his black eyes transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan. "Body Flicker Technique!"

In an instant, more than a dozen Shisui appeared, each seemingly a solid entity, and killed all the ninjas who came to assassinate them.

"What an iconic scene!" Hua Ling wanted to applaud, but she held back to maintain her image.

Kakashi and his Anbu team arrived at that moment.

"Good heavens, he's pretending to be dead to launch a sneak attack." Hua Ling noticed that a ninja lying on the ground next to Kakashi moved slightly. She caught a glimpse of the sword in Shisui's hand, snatched it, and threw it away.

"No need to thank me!" she smiled and turned to leave.

Shisui paused for a moment, then sheathed his short sword and hurriedly caught up with the daimyo.
