I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

"It was just a dream..."

Mira Poon couldn't help but utter such a sentiment, unable to discern whether it was regret or relief.

But when he sat up, his expression suddenly froze!

Because he discovered that he was holding a... dead man's head in his hands!

And it was none other than the head of Kado, whom he hated to the core!

The head seemed to die with its eyes wide open, still showing the fear and confusion it felt before its death.

This scene was somewhat familiar to him, reminding him of the moment when Kado opened his mouth wide to swallow him. He shuddered, instinctively screamed, and threw the severed head he was holding away.

"I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..."

After silently repeating a couple of sentences to himself, he finally noticed the blood on his hands and his surroundings.

"This...is not a dream. That villain, Kado, is really dead! Those two from the Cult of Evil God really did it!"

Mira Poon muttered incredulously to herself as she recalled the words the two men had spoken to her as they left earlier that day: "...find a place to sleep, and when you open your eyes again, it will all be over."

it's over!

This is really over!

The nightmares that had kept him awake at night were finally over!

But then he suddenly realized an even more terrifying problem: if the cultists were able to kill Kado and silently deliver his head to him, then of course they could eliminate him in the same way.

So this severed head is not just a 'gift,' but also a warning!

Thinking back to her previous dissatisfaction with the cult only sending two people, Mira Penn couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even he doesn't know whether being so deeply involved with the evil cult is good or bad; he can only take it one step at a time.

"Someone come here!"

At Mira Penn's shouts, the bodyguards guarding outside immediately pushed open the door and entered, where they found the boss sitting on the bed with blood-stained hands, and the dead man's head that had rolled to the doorway.

"Hurry up and prepare a grand banquet! It must be the most lavish one possible! Also, bring out all the rare vintage wines from my number one vault. And invite all the most beautiful geishas in the city—money is no object!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"

"Wait a minute, take that dead man's head down with you and hang it on the highest flagpole in the courtyard. Remember to take good protective measures so that no crows can carry it away and eat it. I will use it to commemorate my daughter in a few days."

The bodyguard quickly picked it up and respectfully said, "Yes, Master!"

With Gato dead, it means that the Land of Waves, which has already undergone half a change, is about to revert to its former state.

Who knows how many more people will die next, especially those who underestimated the Mira Penn family and chose the wrong side.

. . . . . . . .

Just as Mira Poon was having dinner prepared, news of Cardo's murder spread rapidly.

Among them were people who discovered the truth, as well as those who deliberately spread rumors through Mira Penn's intermediaries.

But what really caused the commotion was the human head that was hanging high on the flagpole!

The war between the uncrowned kings of the Land of Waves ended with Mira Penn emerging victorious, a result that surprised and astonished many.

As for the act of secretly eliminating competitors, most insiders don't see anything wrong with it.

Because it was Gato who first broke the rules, hiring wandering ninjas and other armed forces to assassinate members of the Mira Pon family.

If Mira Penn hadn't been lucky enough to have his youngest daughter accidentally take the knife for him, he would probably have died long ago, and his entire family would have been dismantled by Kado in a very short time, leaving nothing behind!

Therefore, many people see Mira Poon's actions as nothing more than a counterattack or revenge.

You can't expect someone to reason with a murderer when they're already killing your whole family.

Another reason is that Kado is too tyrannical and brutal, often causing people's families to be destroyed and their lives to be lost.

In contrast, people naturally hoped that the Mira Penn family, whose reputation was much better, would win.

As a result, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Before Mira Penn could even send her men to make a move, Cado's men started fighting amongst themselves.

Some were planning to abscond with the money, some were eager to avenge Gato and seize power, and others suggested simply joining forces with the Mira Penn family...

Before they could even reach a conclusion, the previously oppressed villagers, incited by certain individuals, had already rallied together and begun storming various companies of the Kado Company.

Among these people were those who wanted to take advantage of someone's misfortune, those who came seeking revenge, and many who wanted to profit from the chaos.

And just like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the huge Kado Company collapsed instantly!

Mira Penn was stunned when she received the news. She had been worried that the centipede would not die but still be hard-pressed, and was planning how to take over the Cardo Company with minimal losses.

Now he's saved himself the trouble; he just needs to wait for the villagers to vent their anger, and then he can take over the remaining inheritance without lifting a finger.

From his perspective, the money stolen by Kado's men and the items looted by the villagers were nothing compared to what he could earn back a thousandfold once he consolidated all the resources. That's the difference in perspective.

His more important task now is to properly entertain the two heroes who killed Kado, prepare supplies, and maintain good relations with the cult.

He needs the cult of evil to step in at the right time and eliminate all potential threats for him.

Cults of evil gods also need a lot of money for development.

Therefore, they have a win-win relationship, where each gets what they need.

At least for now, we're still in the honeymoon phase.

[25.Chapter 25 Ghost Man]

The day after Kado's death, two more unfamiliar faces arrived in the Land of Waves.

"Lord Zabuza, we've arrived. Hopefully, we can escape their pursuit this time." The short boy spoke first, but once he raised his head, one would find that he was extremely handsome. If he were dressed as a woman, it would be difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

"Bai, don't say such weak and useless things." The tall man lowered his straw hat, seemingly very dissatisfied with the boy's words.

"I'm sorry, Lord Zabuza."

"Let's go see our employer this time."

The two followed the markers and arrived at the agreed meeting point.

However, the house was already deserted, and an inspection revealed that the people inside had left in a great hurry, as if they wanted to take everything of value.

"Lord Zabuza, something's wrong."

"Ah."

Zabuza merely uttered a single, indifferent sound, speaking sparingly.

Having spent so much time together, Haku immediately knew that Lord Zabuza was probably unhappy at the moment, so he immediately suggested, "I have some information about the employer. I can go and gather some intelligence before making a decision."

Zabuza didn't want to make a wasted trip, so he nodded and let him go.

In such a small country, there was almost no force that could threaten him and Bai, so he felt quite at ease letting Bai go out to gather intelligence.

Bai did not disappoint him; he found out the truth and returned shortly afterward.

"Lord Zabuza, we may have made a wasted trip this time. The employer who hired us for the assassination was killed yesterday, and the entire organization has fallen apart."

Bai reluctantly recounted all the information he had gathered, including the conflict between the Kado Company and the Mira Peng family.

As for who killed Gato, opinions vary, but the only certainty is that the person who did it must have been a powerful figure hired by the Mira Pen family.

Zabuza never expected that they would be so late.

With the employer dead and the power behind him crumbling, the assassination mission was naturally canceled.

Otherwise, you'd be working for free, and even if you killed someone, you wouldn't get paid.

"unlucky!"

Zabuza couldn't help but curse.

"Lord Zabuza, should we stay in this country for a while, or leave for somewhere else?" Haku asked again, this time without any disappointment on his face. After all, for him, where they went was not important, what they did was not important, as long as he could stay with Lord Zabuza, that was enough, even if he was just a tool that could be discarded at any time.

"Let's go, but before we go, I need to kill a few people." Zabuza's eyes instantly turned extremely dangerous and bloodthirsty!

There aren't that many whys.

Just like during the ninja graduation exam, he "on a whim" killed all the students in that year.

I did it because I wanted to.

cruel?

irritability?

arrogant?

Cold-blooded?

He didn't care at all about the labels his enemies had put on him.

Because that's just the kind of person he is!

Even Shinji and Hidan probably never imagined that they would be drawn into this again for such a reason.

. . . . . .

Inside the warehouse of Mira Penn's family company, many people were busy at work.

Although Shinji and Hidan both refused the money and women he offered, Mira Penn was not angry at all. Instead, she praised them highly and increased the amount of supplies originally intended for the Jashin Cult by 30% to show her sincerity.

This time, Shinji did not refuse. He had no right to refuse anything, after all, it was something given to the Evil God Cult, not something to win him over.

The busy period only temporarily ended after everything was successfully loaded onto the ship.

Furthermore, once they disembark, there will be dedicated personnel to handle the transportation, but security will be left to Shinji and Hidan themselves.

Both sides are very confident about this and do not think there will be any problems.

"Are you really not going to stay a couple more days? The Land of Waves may not be a large country, but it is small yet complete. Just ask, and I can arrange anything."

Mira Poon said with utmost sincerity.

Hidan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he wanted the other party to send him a thousand offerings so that he could send them all to see the Jashin!

However, the moment he opened his mouth, Shinji delivered a sneaky elbow strike back at the guy.

"Ugh!..."
