Chapter 151 Fear of death is the only virtue of the Great Name
Chapter 151 Fear of death is the only virtue of a daimyo
The capital of the Kingdom of Wind, the City of Wind and Sand.
Although the Land of Wind is mostly desert, Wind City is situated in a rare oasis.
From high above, one can clearly see a patch of blue-green standing out in the center of the vast yellow sand.
The blue area represents a lake, while the green area represents the lush trees and flowers that grow around it.
Although it consists mostly of low-lying shrubs and mosses, it is still a miracle in the desert.
The Sandstorm City was built around the lake, and the low walls could only keep out some wild beasts. After all, in a place like the Ninja World, walls were not very useful.
The soldiers at the gate are only there to collect taxes; they have absolutely no sense of vigilance.
When Shukaku's massive body emerged from the sandstorm, none of the soldiers sounded an alarm. Instead, they huddled together, peering around, thinking it was some powerful ninja's summoning beast.
Tailed beasts have always been legendary monsters; very few people have actually seen them.
"Come on, Shukaku, unleash a 'Tailed Beast Ball' to say hello to them."
Shukaku didn't stand on ceremony. He raised his head and began to gather the "Tailed Beast Ball".
Everyone was terrified.
"Quickly, enemies! Sound the alarm!"
The security captain hurriedly shouted, and soon the alarm bell rang throughout the city.
In fact, he didn't even need to sound the alarm; the ninjas in the city had already noticed the unusual situation outside.
The tailed beasts are so large that they can be clearly seen even in the middle of a city.
Moreover, there's the intensely fluctuating "Tailed Beast Ball," which any guard with even a basic understanding of ninja could sense.
"Protect Daiming immediately!"
"Where are the guards? What are they doing?"
Amidst the chaos, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"That tanuki—it's a tailed beast!"
"It's launching a Tailed Beast Ball! Stop it!"
Finally, someone recognized what the big guy outside was, but the scream did not help and only made the situation more chaotic.
A group of ninjas tried to rush out to stop the tailed beast, but were held back by a group of nobles who provided them with protection.
"Forget about the tailed beasts outside, get us out of here quickly!"
"Get out of the city! Get out of the city quickly, in the opposite direction!"
"I am the Chancellor of the Exchequer, you must protect me!"
The chubby lord, abandoning all pretense of decorum, dropped his fan and ran back, his face deathly pale, shouting in panic, "What is that Luo Sha guy doing?"
"He can't even keep an eye on the tailed beasts, does he want to quit?"
Amidst the chaos, the "Tailed Beast Ball" finally coalesced, drawing an arc in the air before flying over the palace and heading towards the rear of the city.
"Oh, thank goodness, they're not after us!"
Just as Daming and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a heart-wrenching scream.
"That's the direction of the oasis!"
Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see a blinding white light sweeping across the sky, followed by a sound like the earth collapsing, which made everyone dizzy.
Before they could react, a violent shockwave had already spread, destroying houses and uprooting the earth.
Almost instinctively, the guard ninjas released their puppets to stand in front of the daimyo and the nobles.
But in just a moment, the puppets were smashed to pieces by the sand, gravel, and wood fragments mixed in with the shockwave, and the people behind them were also blown away.
"ah----"
Da Ming screamed in agony, spun around in mid-air, and crashed heavily to the ground, completely disoriented. He had broken countless bones, and blood gushed out like it was free.
He lay in the ruins, covered in blood, surrounded by the severed limbs of the guarding ninjas and the fragments of many puppets.
Thanks to the selfless protection of his guards, the daimyo survived, though his injuries were extremely severe.
But it doesn't matter, this is the ninja world. As long as he doesn't die, with the help of medical ninjas, he'll soon be lively and energetic again.
The daimyo, suppressing his nausea, removed the ninja's internal organs from his body and crawled out miserably, wailing incessantly.
"Help, help me—"
A spatial ripple appeared before him, and a pair of boots suddenly materialized in front of him. Someone bowed and asked, "Are you the Great Name?"
"Yes, I am Daimyo! Save me quickly, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Daming strained to look up, but all he saw was a person looking down with their back to the sun. In the backlight, he couldn't see their face at all, only their blood-red eyes.
"Hehe—" An reached out and lifted Daiming up, thankfully saying, "Luckily you didn't die, otherwise I would have made this trip for nothing!"
"Quickly put down the daimyo!" A sharp shout suddenly rang out. An turned around and saw that a large number of ninjas had arrived and were controlling puppets to surround him.
However, due to his great reputation, they hesitated to step forward, fearing the consequences.
"Hey, Da Ming, tell your dogs to get lost. Otherwise, if you anger me, I'll kill you and feed you to the dogs—no, I mean, to the cats."
"Gurgle—gurgle—" Daming gurgled in his throat, blood and foam kept gushing out, and he couldn't speak.
"Tsk, he's too fragile!" An was speechless for a moment, then treated him, finally enabling the daimyo to speak again.
The moment this idiot opened his mouth, An wanted to put him back in his mother's womb.
"You audacious ninja, how dare you offend me like this? Aren't you afraid of me—"
"Shut up!" Before the guy could finish speaking, An Yang slapped him across the face, silencing him.
"Snap!" Daiming's head tilted to the side, and several bloody teeth fell out of his mouth.
"Ugh...you, you..." Daming covered his mouth, groaning softly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In this world, how dare anyone dare to use such a name?
Or is it the name of one of the five great powers?
"You...you want to start a war?"
"Which country's ninja are you from?"
Normal rogue ninja would still wear the village's headband, but they would cross out the insignia to signify their betrayal. However, after An left Konoha, he simply threw away his headband without any markings, which explains why the daimyo couldn't recognize him.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
An slapped him again, knocking out several more teeth.
"Now you're in my hands. I can decide whether you live or die."
"So, tell me your choice now."
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
This time, Daiming stopped wasting words and immediately nodded frantically.
"I want to live!"
"I want to live!!"
"As long as you don't kill me, everything is negotiable!"
