Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 105 A Feast for the Senses at Ghost Lantern Castle? I'll Just Flip the Table!

"Uchiha Madara!"

Upon hearing this name, Daiming became even more frightened.

Before he ascended to the throne, he had heard the previous daimyo mention this name countless times: Uchiha Madara, the Asura of the Ninja World, a being on par with the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama.

As for Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, they are often unreasonable. If you encounter any problems, you might be able to talk to them and exchange ideas with Senju Hashirama.

But if it's Uchiha Madara, then there's only one way out: wait to die. After all, that fearsome ninja demon doesn't care who you are.

Whether you are a nobleman or a famous person, if he decides to kill you, then you must die.

"What should we do, Lord of Wuwei City? Will Madara Uchiha come to kill us?"

"Don't panic, Daimyo. The destruction of Kusagakure happened several days ago. If Madara Uchiha wanted to kill us, we would probably be dead already."

Upon hearing this, Daming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Wuwei, you are right. I was too nervous."

The distance between the capital of the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village is not far; it would take about a day by carriage.

If a ninja with a faster pace to change cities, especially a powerful one like Madara Uchiha, could wipe out the Grass Village at night and come to the capital, Daimyo's Mansion, to take their heads in the morning.

"So what do we do next? Keep waiting?"

Wuwei thought for a moment and then said.

"Alright then, Daimyo, you can wait here. I'll go and meet with that Chiba Tetsuya first, and see what his attitude is."

"No! That's not enough!"

Perhaps it was the destruction of Kusagakure that made the Daimyo finally make up his mind.

"The destruction of Kusagakure has had a tremendous impact; we must obtain more."

"Daimyo, so what do you mean?"

A glint of greed and ruthlessness flashed in Daimyo's eyes.

"Even if the destruction of Kusagakure has nothing to do with the Chiba Merchant Guild, it is still a misfortune brought about by the Chiba Merchant Guild, so they must give up more."

"On top of this 50% increase, I want an additional 20% stake in the Chiba Chamber of Commerce."

"A 20% stake in the Chiba Trading Company?"

Upon hearing this, Wuwei frowned.

"Isn't this too many daimyo? I'm afraid Chiba Tetsu wouldn't agree to it."

No, he will agree.

Daiming revealed a sinister smile as he spoke.

"I will extend an invitation to him in my name, inviting him to visit your Ghost Lantern Castle as an apology for the time I've wasted these past few days."

After receiving the invitation, he'll definitely feel that I've given up and don't want to waste any more time with him. In order to gain the upper hand, he'll definitely agree to go.

Once he arrives at Ghost Lantern City, won't everything be up to you, Lord Wuwei, to decide?

After careful consideration, Wuwei realized that this approach was indeed feasible.

Although the fact that Hozuki Castle is a prison is known among all the major ninja villages, merchants who are not ninjas probably don't know what that place is.

If Chiba Tetsuya arrives at Hozuki Castle, wouldn't he be able to make all the decisions himself?

"I think it's feasible."

“Very well, then I will extend an invitation to Chiba Tetsuya. The date will be two days from now. What do you think, Lord of Wuwei?”

“Very well, sir, I will return to Hozuki Castle to make preparations.”

"Alright, then the future of our Grass Kingdom is entrusted to you, Lord Wuwei."

"Don't worry, Daiming."

Wuwei left, and the invitation from the daimyo was quickly extended.

Tetsuya, who was resting in the hotel, was somewhat surprised when he received the news.

"Ghost Lantern City?"

Tetsuya's expression began to betray his unease.

"He's really something, isn't he? This Daimyo of the Land of Grass has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Does he really think I don't know what kind of place this Hozuki Castle is?"

Not to mention that Tetsuya has seen the movie, Kakuzu, who is right next to him now, has been imprisoned in Hozuki Castle.

It seems this Daimyo of the Grass Country is planning to pull a trap like the Feast at Hongmen.

"Hehe, interesting, boss. It seems that the real source of the Daimyo's confidence in the Land of Grass is not the Grass Village, but the Lord of Hozuki Castle, Mui."

"Now it seems that's indeed the case. Does that mean I killed the wrong person? The Grass Ninja Village took a knife for the lord of Hozuki Castle?"

Kakuzu shook his head and said.

"That's not quite right. If we're really going to count, Hozuki Castle is also part of Kusagakure. The castle lord of Hozuki Castle, Muki, comes from a family in Kusagakure. It's just that their family has been in charge of guarding the prison for generations."

Furthermore, as far as I know, twelve elders from Kusagakure are still inside Hozuki Castle; I think their names are something like "Kusa no Mi" (Grass Fruit).

"Hmm, I see. Then we didn't kill any wrong ones; it's just that some escaped the net."

"So, boss, what are your thoughts on this invitation?"

Tetsuya grinned.

"What else can I say? Since they've already extended an invitation, of course I'm going."

Besides, I don't like unfinished projects. Since there are still some left unfinished, we might as well take this opportunity to eliminate them completely.

Furthermore, I've heard that there's something called the Box of Elysium in Hozuki Castle, and I'm quite curious about it; I'd like to go see it.

"The Box of Bliss?"

Upon hearing this familiar name, Kakuzu frowned.

"Boss, if you ask me, it's best not to touch this stuff. It's not a good thing."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Tetsuya clapped his hands as he spoke.

"By the way, you shouldn't go this time."

"Why? I've worked in Ghost Lantern Castle. With me around, it will be much easier for the boss to do whatever he wants."

"It's alright. I don't need to know too much about that lousy place. Just knowing where it is is enough. Besides, there are other tasks for you to do."

"Other tasks? Boss, feel free to offer plenty."

Tetsuya grinned.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Daimyo of the Grass Country will definitely not be going to Hozuki Castle this time, so you keep a close eye on him for me and don't let him get away."

Kakuzu paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

After the boss visits Hozuki Castle this time, Hozuki Castle will probably cease to exist, just like Kusagakure.

If news were to come back ahead of time, the lord might run away prematurely.

"I understand, boss. I'll keep a close eye on that guy. He won't be able to go anywhere until you get back."

Two days passed quickly, and before we knew it, the time mentioned in the invitation letter arrived.

Tetsuya had transformed into the portly figure that most people would recognize. He had just stepped out of the hotel when he saw the people from Daimyo Prefecture.

"President Chiba, President Chiba!"

A servant, who appeared to be dressed simply but whose clothes were actually made of extremely expensive materials, arrived with a carriage at Tetsuya.

It goes without saying that these people are from Daming Prefecture.

"Good morning, President Chiba. We've come to pick you up as agreed to take you to Hozuki Castle."

Tetsuya smiled kindly.

"Haha, thank you all for your hard work. The daimyo is so thoughtful to have arranged for someone to pick me up. I was originally planning to hire a carriage to go to Hozuki Castle myself."

"Oh, look at you, how can I let you hire a car yourself? The daimyo has already made arrangements, please get in the car, President Chiba."

"it is good."

Tetsuya didn't hesitate and got into the car immediately.

"set off!"

The carriage started moving, and Tetsuya lifted the curtain to look ahead.

Ghost Lantern City, here I come! You've invited me to a treacherous banquet, so I'll play the crow for you.
