Madara, let's change the world together!

Some were sewn together with steel wire, some were killed in explosions, and some were cut in half at the waist.

That's so cruel!

The ninja, who had experience in killing, felt a chill run down his spine.

Who on earth would use such cruel methods to kill an ordinary businessman who had no ability to resist?

"Master Yuan!"

"All the supplies on the ship have disappeared!"

Another Jonin who went to search the cabin returned to report.

At this moment, Kiyoshi Gen was squatting in front of a corpse, his face grim.

The merchant ship's mission was to travel between Sunrise City and the various islands of the Water Kingdom to trade with the local residents.

The ship only had ordinary guards, whose strength was only at the level of Chunin.

Most of them were young men and women, and even trainee crew members around fifteen years old.

Kiyoshi Gen gently closed the woman's eyes with his hand.

She died in terror, her eyes wide open, her expression ferocious.

"Oh!"

Kiyoshi Gen slammed his fist hard onto the deck.

"Brother Yuan"

Bai Miao came up behind Qing Jingyuan, her eyes filled with heartache.

She knew that Kiyohara couldn't stand seeing anyone die in the village.

When she was a very young child, she saw Kiyoi Gen lead the villagers to take up arms and drive away the wandering samurai who came to plunder.

Despite being just a child, Kiyoi Gen picked up his katana and charged ahead, disregarding his own safety.

It was precisely because of this that the villagers, moved by his actions, mustered their courage and drove away the invading enemy.

Fortunately, Sister Lan was already with Qingjingyuan at that time, so there were no casualties.

"Bai Miao, I have some regrets."

Kiyoshi Gen's voice was extremely deep.

He never expected that a few members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would attack his people under the pretext of "testing their swords" and incidentally seizing some supplies!

If the system hadn't been able to record information about these people before their deaths, the news of the merchant ship being plundered wouldn't have even been able to get out.

Those around watched as Kiyoi Gen slowly stood up, and even Otsutsuki Aino, whose original form was Black Zetsu, dared not utter a sound.

"Bai Miao, use Water Release ninjutsu to control this ship and get back as quickly as possible."

Their bodies must not remain in a foreign land!

He paused, his eyes burning with anger.

"Fengsha, call Ban back!"

"I will not allow these people to live past this fall!"

Chapter 104 Spiritual Mentor - Ban

Inside the Hidden Mist Village.

"Hey! What have you been doing outside the village without permission?!"

With bandages wrapped around his face and wielding the broken cleaver, Juzo Biwa, questioned the three who had just returned to the village.

One of them was Kushimaru Kurihara, who was over two meters tall and thin, and had a long sword and sewing needle in hand. He had messy hair, wore a mask, and was wielding a long sword and sewing needle.

One of them was Muli Jinpachi, who wielded the explosive sword Fei Mo, wore an eyepatch over his left eye, and had a long beard.

Another one was a man with a blunt knife, a small mustache, and sharp teeth, called a "Tongcao Yeyūjin" (a type of wild man).

"Whoa, what's wrong?"

With his vertical braid and long beard, Jinpachi Murashi stepped forward and patted Juzo Biwa on the shoulder.

"We didn't leave any trace."

He opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth.

"I left a lot of explosive tags on the bottom of the ship, so there won't be any trace."

"Those people will only sink to the bottom of the sea over time."

"Moreover, we brought back a large amount of supplies."

Instead of focusing on us, think about the next mission.

"You agree, right? It's the Pipa Juzo who's known for his cruelty and ruthlessness in other villages."

Pipa Juzo glanced at Muri Jinpachi with disgust.

Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Jinpachi Murashi, who wields the Spray, and Kushimaru Kurihara, who wields the Sewing Needle, are veritable killers.

Both of them preferred to kill their enemies in the most brutal ways during missions, and even committed various crimes such as murdering their master and brother.

After obtaining the ninja sword, they became even more ruthless, with no more pretense.

Now they're even attacking targets outside of their mission?!

Pipa Juzo looked at Tsukushino Eito, only to see the other man shrug and say indifferently.

"Juzo, I just wanted to test the power of Kabuto."

"After all, it's a ninja sword capable of breaking through any defense."

"What we are doing will not have any negative impact on the village."

"It just made some insignificant people disappear."

Pipa Juzo shut his mouth.

He wasn't particularly familiar with these people; they were just ninjas in the same team serving the Mizukage.

Since I can't control it, I'll just ignore it and not worry about it!

Thinking of this, Pipa Juzo turned around and left.

They are ninjas, tools for killing, but they shouldn't lay a hand on ordinary people outside of their missions.

The bloody and warlike atmosphere of this village created this group of killers!

On the other side, half an hour before Muri Jinpachi and the others arrived at the village, Kiyoi Gen and the others were inspecting the entire ship.

"Qingjingyuan!"

Otsutsuki Aino leaped out from the shadows of the deck.

"I found a lot of explosive tags at the bottom of the ship; it's about to explode!"

"We need to get out of here quickly."

Everyone looked over, and Bai Miao and Feng Sha even came directly to Qing Jingyuan's side, wanting to pull him up into the sky.

"and many more."

Kiyoi Gen's expression was calm, but a large amount of chakra erupted from his body.

A powerful vortex of chakra slowly pushed the three people around him away.

Having used three cell-enhancing solvents and possessing the [Flowing Technique Seal] of the Twelve [Star Palaces], even if his talent isn't outstanding, his chakra is definitely stronger than most ninjas.

Kiyoshi Gen placed his hand on the deck.

A massive amount of chakra enveloped the entire ship.

Viscous state!

Rigid state!

The bottom of the ship was first covered by a viscous layer, and then covered by a rigid layer.

The detonator, which had been isolated, exploded instantly, lifting the ship up a meter or two and stirring up the surrounding waves.

However, the protective film formed in the viscous-rigid state is extremely strong and undamaged.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Kiyoi Gen, who was unleashing such a massive amount of chakra.

This level of chakra could be considered a small-tailed beast, right?

"Bai Miao, Feng Sha, let's go back."

"Okay!"

With the help of Bai Miao's water escape and Feng Sha's wind escape, the merchant ship quickly sailed back to the port of Chu Ri City.

Although such a tragedy is heartbreaking, Kiyoi Gen had no choice but to inform the families of the deceased.

He personally visited each family.

I told them this heartbreaking news.

Apology, silence, understanding

Some people shook their heads, their eyes filled with tears;

Some people collapsed to the ground, looking completely bewildered.

Some people even prostrated themselves, tears streaming down their faces, and silently kowtowed to Kiyoshi Gen.

They offered no blame, no verbal pleas.

They simply cried silently, expressing their thoughts through their actions.

This made Kiyoshi Gen feel even worse.

Even with substantial compensation provided to these families, it was still impossible to bring back the lives of the deceased.

After a day and a half of continuous visits, Qingjingyuan's spirits were noticeably low.

Although his work efficiency remains high, anyone who sees him will feel a little sorry for him.
