Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

The moment Renya stepped forward, the daimyo was already close to death.

The louder they scream now, the more miserable their death will be later.

"Danzo, let's quit while we're ahead. We can't afford to really offend the daimyo!" Hiruzen whispered in Danzo's ear.

In his view, receiving an extra ten million taels of silver was already quite good.

Konoha Village still relies on the Daimyo, so they absolutely cannot afford to offend him.

Otherwise, Konoha Village would really be doomed!

Danzo completely ignored Hiruzen's words.

Hiruzen always likes to side with outsiders; anyone who doesn't know him would think he's loyal to the daimyo.

If you can't stand it now, you'll be scared to death later, won't you?

The daimyo naturally saw Danzo and Hiruzen whispering to each other, which further solidified his suspicions.

The Hokage simply wanted to acquire more assets from him.

The hothead who stood in front of him didn't dare to do anything to him.

Once he understood, Daiming's face regained its previous arrogance.

"Young man, put the knife away. I'm not someone who gets scared easily."

Lianye stared at Daimyo with a strange expression.

Does this idiot still not understand the situation?

"Did your brain get caught in a door when you were a kid?"

Daimyo: "???"

Chapter 374 Do you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move against you?

"Lotus, Lotus Night..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice trembled.

If I heard correctly, was Renye cursing Daimyo?!

It's over, it's really all over!

In his ingrained ninja mindset, one should never provoke a daimyo.

However, Renya insulted and threatened the daimyo, which was extremely disrespectful.

This is practically pushing Konoha into a fire pit!

"You bastard!"

After a brief moment of confusion, Daming immediately realized what was happening.

How dare this barbaric ninja insult me!

He angrily pointed at Danzo, whose expression remained calm, and shouted at him sternly.

"Hokage, are all the ninjas in your village this kind of person?"

"I think we should reduce our financial support for Konoha from now on!"

These ungrateful wretches are impossible to tame.

Over the years, they've wasted countless amounts of money on Konoha, yet now Konoha's ninjas dare to insult them.

"Go ahead," Danzo said, shrugging.

I don't know if this was said to the daimyo or to Renya...

"Very well!" The daimyo laughed angrily, "The Hidden Leaf Village should prepare to bear the wrath of the daimyo's mansion!"

Without the support of the Daimyo's government, Konoha Village would never have been able to develop.

He no longer intends to allocate funds to Konoha.

There is no need for such an unmanageable village to exist.

"Noisy," Lian Ye said softly.

A flash of light.

Before anyone could react, the daimyo's finger pointing at Danzo was severed at the root.

"Ahhh-"

"My hand, my hand!"

Daming clutched his wound and rolled on the ground in pain, letting out heart-wrenching howls.

He never imagined that Lian Ye would actually make a move!

"Lord Daimyo!"

Chaos erupted instantly inside the hall as countless guards surrounded Lian Ye and the other two.

"Lotus, Lotus Night..."

Hiruzen's face was deathly pale, and he trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Oh my god!

Renya actually made a move against the daimyo!

The ninja mindset he had cultivated since childhood began to crumble instantly.

For a moment, he couldn't help but start to doubt the meaning of life.

Hiruzen's ingrained ninja beliefs shattered, leaving him stunned and bewildered.

If the Daimyo is harmed, Konoha is finished.

From this moment on, the Daimyo will no longer be able to provide financial support to Konoha Village.

"Hiruzen, calm down, it's not a big deal." Danzo looked at Hiruzen, who had a look of despair on his face, and gently comforted him.

Hiruzen: "???"

It's nothing serious!

They've already chopped off the daimyo's finger, isn't that a big deal?

Once this gets out...

Other employers would never post missions in Konoha.

This would deprive the village's ninjas of their only source of missions.

It won't be long before those ninjas leave the village!

"Nonsense! You guys are being ridiculous!" Hiruzen roared in despair.

He never imagined things would escalate to this point and become so out of control.

I should have used force to stop them.

"Alright, Hiruzen." Renya turned to look at Hiruzen, whose ears were red with anger, and said calmly, "He's just a daimyo, isn't he?"

"Just kill him and find another one."

"You, you want to kill the daimyo?!" Hiruzen exclaimed in disbelief.

These words shattered his already fractured worldview, making it even more broken...

Killing a daimyo is such a heinous act.

In Lianye's words, it was as if it were a trivial matter.

"Protect the Daimyo!"

Seeing this, the surrounding guards drew their weapons and looked at Lian Ye warily, but none of them dared to step forward.

They were all just ordinary guards.

Letting them suppress those unruly people is fine, but as for fighting powerful ninjas, forget about it.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Daming was in so much pain that his face turned pale, and he glared at Lianye with venomous eyes.

This savage ninja actually dared to attack me.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Kill him! Kill him right now!"

The daimyo was blinded by rage and even forgot the difference in strength between the two.

None of the guards dared to step forward; their hands, gripping their knives, trembled uncontrollably.

Sending them to kill ninjas is just sending them to their deaths.

With only tens of thousands of taels a month, why risk your life like this!

The money belongs to the government, but life is your own.

—If you die, you lose everything.

"Daimyo, it seems you don't understand the situation!"

Lianye looked at Daiming, who was still shouting even at this point, and couldn't help but laugh.

Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?

Perhaps it was because the daimyo was used to being arrogant, coupled with the unwritten rule that ninjas should not attack the daimyo.

This convinced the daimyo that Renya wouldn't dare kill him...

Unfortunately, Renya was not the kind of ninja bound by ninja thinking.

He is fundamentally different from old-fashioned people like Hiruzen.

"Heh heh, now that I'm dead, your Konoha village can just wait to go bankrupt!" The Daimyo clutched his severed hand, his expression ferocious.

"Your entire Hidden Leaf Village will perish with me!"

That's why he was certain that Lian Ye wouldn't dare kill him.

They're just trying to coerce or entice us when negotiations fail.

Lian Ye stepped on his thigh, and a "crack" sound of bone breaking rang out.

"Ahhh-"

Daimyo let out another painful scream, trying to roll around on the ground, but because Renya was stepping on his thigh, he couldn't roll around.

"You have a son, right?" Lian Ye suddenly asked.

Daming was in too much pain to answer his questions, and could only wail incessantly.

“It doesn’t matter if you die, your son can succeed you as daimyo.” Lianye said to herself, “If he is obedient, I will let him be the daimyo in peace.”

“If you don’t obey…” Lian Ye’s voice grew colder: “You’ll end up like me.”

"you you……"

Fear finally showed on Daiming's face.

He realized that the savage ninja in front of him was not joking at all.

This guy really wants to kill me!

He was scared, really scared.

"Please don't kill me... I don't want to die..."

The arrogance on Daming's face had vanished, replaced by a pleading expression.

If Lian Ye hadn't stepped on his thigh, he probably would have been kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

He did not consider Lian Ye's previous disrespectful behavior.

All I want now is to survive.

"I still prefer your previous rebellious self."
