The brother and sister were twins born in the same birth, and they looked extremely alike.

This is why the ibis was able to disguise itself so well later on.

As a retainer of Lord Nobuyoshi, Hongming naturally knew about this matter, but he simply didn't think about it in that direction.

In the end, it almost led to a major disaster!

"I have no face to see Lord Da Lu!"

The blow to Hongming was so severe that he aged more than ten years in an instant.

Now that the real culprit has been caught, Zhu Lu no longer needs to play the role of the older brother.

Then, at that moment, Hongming stood up unsteadily, holding a steel knife in his hand, and walked towards Mengzong.

"Hongming! What are you doing! Have you forgotten how I've supported you all these years? You actually want to kill me?! Do you think you can atone for your sins by killing me? Let me tell you, it's impossible! Although I killed Dalu, you are also involved!"

While verbally attacking Hongming, Meng Zong lay on the ground and desperately tried to back away using both hands and feet.

However, Hongming remained silent and offered no rebuttal to these words about shrimp and pork heart.

Until with a soft thud, the steel knife pierced Meng Zong's thigh, pinning him to the ground.

“I, Hongming, have always been an upright and honest man, but I never imagined that I would be so misled by a treacherous person like you, which has led to this bitter consequence! I have failed Lord Dalu in his trust in me. You are right, I do indeed bear an inescapable responsibility. So please go ahead, I will follow shortly.”

As he spoke, Hongming drew his steel knife and thrust it into Meng Zong's chest once more.

At this moment, Meng Zong also went mad. He knew that he was completely doomed this time, and his chances of survival were too slim.

But he absolutely did not approve of this way of dying.

Although he was severely injured at this moment, even a seriously wounded ninja can unleash a destructive power that would terrify ordinary people!

The moment the steel blade fell, Meng Zong pulled out a kunai from somewhere and forcefully shot it towards Hong Ming's throat.

Although it started later, it seems poised to arrive first.

However, Hongming, who was already determined to die, completely ignored Mengzong's counterattack and insisted on taking him down with him.

Then, with a clang, before the kunai could pierce Hongming's throat, it was precisely smashed away by Tsunade with a stone.

"No! You can't kill me!"

Finally, amidst Meng Zong's desperate roar, Hong Ming gritted his teeth and forcefully plunged the steel knife in his hand into the other man's chest.

Blood splattered around him. Meng Zong's eyes bulged, his mouth full of blood as he tried to say something, but his neck tilted to the side and he died instantly.

Zhu Lu had wanted to avenge her father and brother herself, but she simply couldn't, which is why she let Hong Ming execute him.

She originally thought that Hongming was in cahoots with the murderer, which was why he made things difficult for her and refused to give up his position as daimyo.

But just now, upon closer inspection, it became clear that although the two knew each other, they couldn't be considered to be in cahoots.

Ultimately, Hongming was also manipulated; he failed to recognize true character.

As for those targetings, it's more likely a feeling of disappointment and frustration.

"Heron...Ibis, you've suffered so much these past few days. I'm sorry to the deceased Great Heron, and I'm sorry to all of you. I have no face to face the people of the Bird Kingdom. I hope that after I die, you can take on the responsibility of governing the country and make it a better place."

After saying that, Hongming closed his eyes, raised Tsunade in his hand, and forcefully slashed his neck.

However, at this moment, Zhu Lu rushed over and grabbed Hong Ming's arm tightly.

The sharp steel knife pressed tightly against my neck, raising goosebumps.

Blood was already streaming down the blade, dripping down in a continuous stream.

[Chapter 473. Encountering Sorrow at the Corner]

Hongming ultimately survived, although the cut was quite deep.

Sakura didn't even need Tsunade and Shizune to do anything; she just used it as practice.

Hongming's suicidal thoughts were dispelled after Zhulu's repeated persuasion.

Therefore, Hongming ultimately decided to help Zhulu secure his position as daimyo and dedicate the rest of his life to building up the country. Only in this way could he face Lord Zhulu after his death.

Zhu Lu felt relieved by this result.

If Hongming really were to commit suicide here, that would be a real problem.

And she did indeed need strategists and ministers like Hongming to help her devise plans and manage the country.

At least in terms of loyalty, Hongming is someone you can trust.

Just be careful not to be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.

Tsunade and the others deserve much credit for successfully identifying the culprit and resolving the daimyo conflict.

Zhu Lu immediately sent a large sum of money to express his gratitude.

"Since it's a mission request, I'll accept these; you don't need to take any more."

"Is this really enough?"

"That's enough. Regarding our identities, we really are..."

“I understand, I understand! You’re here on a secret mission, so we can’t let anyone else know. I will definitely keep this a secret.”

Tsunade wore a conflicted expression, unsure whether she should admit that she was indeed from Konoha.

"Let's go."

When they left the Daimyo Mansion, both Sakura and Shion looked dizzy and dazed.

So you got the money already?

Moreover, he also resolved a Z-change incident and established the name of a nation.

This is simply too bizarre.

It still feels a little unreal to them.

Tsunade, on the other hand, had a proud and arrogant expression, her chin practically pointing to the sky.

Then, after they turned a corner, an uninvited guest blocked their way, smiling and squinting at them.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Tsunade stopped abruptly and turned to run away, but Hidan, carrying the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe, appeared from behind and cut off their escape route.

"Hehe, yeah, what a coincidence! Is there something you need? If not, we'll be going now."

Tsunade laughed heartily, attempting to bluff her way out of the situation.

coincidence?

What a coincidence!

After Tsunade left, Shinji thought about it over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he chased after her.

This is all thanks to Jiaoyue.

The room was filled with the scent of Tsunade and the others. Following the scent, they arrived at the outskirts of the Daimyo's mansion and watched a good show from afar.

"We can leave, but before we do, shouldn't we settle some scores?"

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

"Then let's say something we can understand. Everyone gets a share. I don't care how much you just took, just give me half and I'll let you go."

Shinji said fiercely.

He wasn't after that little bit of money; he just wanted to vent his anger.

Tsunade's expression instantly turned dangerous.

Need money?

dream!

I have neither money nor my life!

"If you're so capable, then come and take it."

"Alright, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Snapped!

Shinji lightly clapped his hands, instantly switching places with Shizune, and then punched Tsunade in the back.

Black Flash!

With a loud bang!

Black sparks suddenly exploded.

Tsunade never expected her opponent to attack so suddenly and without any martial ethics, launching a sneak attack from behind. Before she knew it, she was sent flying.

"Lady Tsunade!"

The girls immediately gasped in surprise.

Tsunade felt a tightness in her chest after landing, and gritted her teeth. That bastard actually dared to make a move!

Yes, Shinji not only dares to use his hands, but he also dares to use his feet.

One acceleration, Ultraman Flying Kick!

This time, Tsunade was prepared and threw a powerful punch.

Strange power!

Bang!

Like a comet hitting the Earth, neither side would give way.

Then came the close-quarters combat, with each punch and kick making a tremendous impact. Before long, the ground was riddled with holes, and even the surrounding walls were shattered in countless places.

Seeing this, Shizune tried to mediate the fight, but no one listened to her at all.

The moment Hidan made a slight movement, he swung out the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe, which landed squarely in the ground in front of Shizune.

"I advise you not to get involved. Of course, if you insist on getting involved, I wouldn't mind killing you first."

Regardless, Shizune did treat Hidan back then.
