Just when Hanyu was gambling with Tsunade and Hatake was about to start sneaking in to steal people, another Hanyu was already in the daimyo's palace... Yes, another Hanyu. This was a very routine operation, because as long as they were ninjas, they basically mastered the method of splitting and multiplying.
What is different from the Hatake's side is that there is a ninja team of at least thirty to forty people guarding the place where Hanyu sneaked in. At first glance, this number is comparable to the guarding force around the Hokage. Therefore, it seems that the daimyo's palace must be heavily guarded, but... what is the reality?
At least when Hanyu entered the palace, it was more like he was strolling in the garden like eating and drinking rather than "sneaking in".
Although Hanyu can't be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, he has a lot of experience in major battles. He is a powerful ninja. Although he is not a ninja from an orthodox background, the education and knowledge he received from his teacher are the kind that even the most orthodox ninjas cannot get.
What about the vagrant ninjas hired by the daimyo? On the one hand, the level of these people is very low. Basically, they dare to call themselves ninjas just because they can refine chakra. Their level is comparable to that of the first graders in Konoha Ninja School. On the other hand, do you really expect the hired vagrant ninjas to work seriously for the daimyo? Why? They are just here to get paid. As for working? It depends on their mood. When they are in a good mood, there will definitely be a few people who will do some work.
Otherwise, this matter would have to be coordinated with Danzo Shimura. If Danzo hadn't found a way to get the daimyo to voluntarily drive away the twelve Konoha jonin who were originally guarding here, Hanyu's infiltration would never have been so easy.
At the very least, those jonin must be able to sense the presence of the intruder.
Hanyu wandered around the palace and soon found the daimyo's dormitory.
Because of some recent events, the Daimyo might be a little nervous, so Hanyu did not see any unsightly scenes here. Even when the Daimyo was sleeping, his demeanor was as serious as a human being. He was very dignified and had a sense of nobility that matched his status.
The daimyo lay flat on his back with his hands on his abdomen, and even his hair was neatly arranged.
How should I put it? There was nothing to watch, and Hanyu was actually quite disappointed. He sat on the decorative crossbar hanging from the high ceiling, staring at the figure below for a while, and thought that this was a good thing. Judging from the other person's current appearance, there was no need to tidy up the body and it could be buried directly.
Hanyu reached behind his back with his right hand and gently pulled out the long sword from behind him, then pointed the blade vertically downward, pointing it steadily at the throat of the person below.
Then, his figure floated down lightly from above, like catkins in summer or blowing snow in winter, without making any sound.
The sharp long knife first pierced the opponent's throat, and then pierced into the thick, precious wood bed board.
When the sharp blade pierced the throat, he first felt the extremely cold feeling of the iron itself, then the wound instantly became extremely hot, and then, as the blood in his body continued to flow out, the daimyo felt his body beginning to lose temperature little by little.
Hanyu pinched the opponent's jaw, making him unable to make any sound. The foreign body in his throat made the daimyo start to breathe heavily. The feeling of lack of oxygen would make people breathe hard, but the more violent his movements were, the faster the blood loss from the wound would be.
When people are dying, they will all pray for life, but the more they pray for life, the faster they die, and the faster they die, the more they pray for life. The last moments of a life are not funny, but after falling into such a cycle, everything has become an unsolvable situation.
Death comes slowly, step by step.
Even at the last moment, the daimyo couldn't even see the attacker's face, but judging from his figure, he should be a very young person.
At that age, a noble like him would only boss around commoners and servants, but the ninjas had already started killing people in a sea of blood...
Yes, it's a ninja.
When the brocade bed was stained with blood, Hanyu took back his sword and put it back into the sheath in the same way it had been unsheathed, as if nothing had happened.
Although Hanyu's actions were silent, the spreading bloody smell eventually attracted the attention of a ninja guarding outside the daimyo's bedroom.
Having finished what he was supposed to do, Hanyu should have left at this time, but after noticing the other party's movements, he suddenly had an idea, stopped, and stood guard at the dormitory door again.
So, when the ninja entered the bedroom, within three seconds he went after the beloved daimyo.
In order to do what he was going to do next, Hanyu did not let the ninja bleed, but directly broke the opponent's neck. Then, Hanyu grabbed the man's collar and dragged his body to the daimyo's bed, and then... stuffed it into the daimyo's quilt.
This is not an act of mischief or evil fun, but simply to... kill people and destroy their hearts.
After doing all this, Hanyu sealed the doors and windows of his bedroom, then turned around and left.
…
"Tsunade, we should leave."
On the other side, Hanyu leaned close to Tsunade's ear and whispered.
"What?"
Tsunade was smiling brightly. After receiving Hanyu's reminder, she didn't realize what it meant for a moment, until Hanyu opened his mouth and silently formed the word "mission". Then she understood.
"Cough cough." Tsunade coughed twice, but even if she coughed up all her lungs, she couldn't hide the embarrassment that she had completely forgotten the mission.
"That's all for today."
Amid everyone's disappointed gazes and sighs, she threw the dice in her hand onto the gambling table and prepared to leave.
"Big sister, are you coming tomorrow?"
"You must come tomorrow."
"We're waiting for you. See you there!"
It's strange that the gamblers are even more reluctant to let go of Tsunade than Hanyu.
However, they will definitely not come again tomorrow. This has nothing to do with Tsunade's subjective emotions, whether she has had enough fun or not, but only has to do with the objective condition that Hanyu's wallet is empty or not - Tsunade is a person who can support a casino and hundreds of gamblers on her own.
Amid the gamblers' numerous warnings and instructions, Hanyu and Tsunade left here, and then when they came to a dark alley with no people, they lifted the transformation technique.
Tsunade stretched lazily with satisfaction, but it was a pity that her body had not grown yet, otherwise it would have been a very beautiful movement. However, now she could only make the people around her feel happy.
"Hanyu, what should we do next?"
"Gambling" itself is a very happy thing for Tsunade. Winning or losing is indeed secondary, otherwise she would not lose every time she gambles and be so addicted to it. So even if she lost a lot of money (not her own), she was still very happy, so she was also very motivated for the next task.
"Next... we should withdraw. I have finished my work." As he said this, Hanyu beside Tsunade pointed in a certain direction, and then another Hanyu walked towards them.
Hanyu nodded to Hanyu, then handed the shriveled purse to Hanyu and disappeared with a puff.
This time, Hanyu completed the task strictly according to the plan he had made in advance. Faced with this rare situation, he was very happy until he got his purse back.
Tsunade was also very happy, until she found out that the person who had been with her was just a clone... Well, this was a rather strange reaction. Her first reaction was not that she cared about Hanyu leaving her behind to complete the task alone, but that she cared about Hanyu only using a clone to fool her.
But no matter what, the method to halve a person's happiness is so simple, so Hanyu did it, and Tsunade did it too.
