Fujin was enjoying his evening breakfast on his balcony while enjoying the beautiful sunset. He thought, 'This lifestyle is kinda good. I see why so many ninjas want to be recruited by a Daimyo. Unlike the daily life of going through deadly missions and not knowing whether you'd live or not, the life here is just too relaxing and stress-free.'
Fujin had stayed in the Wind Capital for a couple of weeks. He spent it relaxing in his luxurious hotel room and sightseeing around the city.
He analyzed, 'There hadn't been any news about anyone looking for Hiroshi or the ninjas protecting them. So I should be able to maintain this identity for some time.'
He turned his eyes towards a few mansions in the city. They were quite far from his location but still visible. Though he couldn't see every detail, he knew that a few were moving sneakily into those mansions.
Just like Fujin, one Noble was enjoying his life in one of the mansions Fujin eyed. He was enjoying his luxurious life while thinking, 'I am so glad that the Damiyo decided to favor Konoha instead of Suna. Otherwise, there is no way I would be able to sign such a huge deal with the Kazekage! Once the deal is finalized, money will start rolling into this mansion! Hahaha.'
At that moment, a maid entered the room. She was in her teens and looked very beautiful. The Noble, who was in his fifties, lecherously eyed her. She brought a tray filled with various sushi to him and said respectfully, "My Lord."
The Noble looked at it and said, "It looks delicious."
He turned his eyes towards her and said, "I am sure it'd taste even better if you feed it to me."
He opened his mouth wide open. The maid knew about how perverted he was. Unfortunately, she had no other option. She picked up a piece of sushi and was about to feed him when she saw a red line appearing on his throat. Before she could think, the line split open and blood sprayed out and covered the maid's face and chest. She freaked out and screamed loudly!
Immediately, a Samurai appeared in the room and asked, "Lord Atsushi, What happene…"
His words were stuck in his mouth as he saw the noble he was supposed to protect lying in his chair with his throat cut open with the maid standing in shock in front of him. He got angry and muttered, "Someone dared to kill a person protected by me? They are disrespecting the great name of Isamu! I will kill them."
He quickly approached the maid and asked her menacingly, "Did you kill him?"
The maid was terrified by his expression. She feared the worst. Unfortunately, there wasn't much she could do. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "No, I didn't do it. I was about to feed him when a red line appeared on his neck and split it open."
Isamu believed her. He thought, 'She isn't lying. It looks like the work of a ninja. A Wind user to be specific. Did he upset Suna during the negotiations? Or is someone trying to frame Suna?'
Chakra gathered in his eyes as he began to observe everything in the mansion. Suddenly he discovered, 'Hmm? Since when did someone with so much chakra appear in the mansion? He must be the culprit.'
Chakra flowed through his sword as he stabbed it into the floor. A hole appeared in the floor and he jumped on the floor below. In front of him was a butler. Isamu looked at him and said, "Good disguise. If it was someone else, they'd be fooled."
A frown formed on the face of the butler. He asked, "What do you mean?"
However, instead of replying, Isamu swung his sword. A blue sword wave was shot from his sword and approached the butler. The butler immediately moved out of the way, displaying physical skills far beyond what a civilian could display.
The Samurai moved forward and attacked him with his sword once again. The butler took a kunai and used it to block the sword. Unlike Isamu, he didn't use chakra flow. However, since Isamu's chakra flow wasn't charged with Wind nature, his kunai could hold on.
However, Isamu used the opportunity to kick his chest. The butler was sent flying backwards and crashed into a wall. His transformation jutsu was dispelled. Isamu saw a ninja wearing a Scorpion mask and in the Anbu uniform of Sunagakure. His expression became grim. It looked like he was caught in an internal struggle in the Land of Wind.
The ninja got up and said in a cold tone, "I didn't expect you to be so good. However, you should have just looked the other way. Now, I will have to kill you as well."
Isamu didn't attack and asked, "Why did you kill him?"
The ninja snorted, "Do you think it is so easy to take advantage of our village? Even your Land of Iron doesn't have the same standing as our village. Let alone some no-name Noble."
He raised two fingers. Wind began flowing around them. Isamu once again attacked with his sword. However, the Anbu easily dodged the sword slash.
Isamu's eyes widened as four cuts appeared on each of his arms. Two of them were right on his elbow and severed his blood vessels and nerves in it. Isamu suddenly felt weak and dropped his swords.
The Anbu said, "In your next life, don't poke your head into other people's businesses."
Wind once again began moving around his two fingers as he pointed them towards the Samurai. Though Isamu was wearing armor, a lot of areas on his body weren't protected by it. Dozens of cuts appeared on his legs and neck.
Isamu dropped to the ground and lost consciousness. He was no match for the Anbu. Having completed his job, the Anbu disappeared.
After the fighting noises stopped, the servants immediately ran towards where the fighting was happening. To their horror, they noticed Isamu lying in a pool of blood. They immediately ran forward and checked on him.
Surprisingly, one maid said, "He is still breathing! Call for doctors! Also, inform Lord Atsushi about this!"
Some servants left hurriedly to call for the personal doctor employed in the mansion. A couple of other servants ran to the upper floor. They were horrified to see that their Lord Atsushi was dead and the maid was lying unconscious. They carried the maid down to be in the same room as Isamu. After laying her down, they went to the basement to inform the family of the Noble who had hidden there immediately after hearing the sounds of a battle.
The doctor soon arrived. His expression became grim after checking the Samurai. He said, "His condition is very bad. Go and call for a Medical ninja from the hospital. Hurry!"
A couple of servants nodded and left. The doctor removed Isamu's armor and clothes around the cuts. He provided first aid and stopped the bleeding.
Suddenly, loud wailing was heard from the floor above. The family members of the Noble were crying due to his loss. After a couple of minutes, his son walked down and saw the doctor treating Isamu while his father was completely ignored.
He shouted, "How dare you treat others when my father has died? Leave them to die along with him."
His expression became cruel as he said, "In fact, all of you should join him too!"
Fear appeared on the face of all servants.
However, the doctor was calm. He continued cleaning the wounds and said without looking at him, "Young Master, he is a Samurai from the Land of Iron. A proper explanation has to be given every time a Samurai dies. If the Land of Iron finds out that a Samurai died because you didn't allow him to be treated, you and your whole family might have to join your father. Even Lord Daimyo won't do anything to save you."
His words caused the young master to be covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will remember this."
He quickly left the room and walked back towards his father.
The doctor let out a sigh. He thought, 'I have completely offended him. Oh well, if I didn't, he'd have killed me anyway. As long as I save Isamu, I will be safe.'
Soon all the bleeding stopped. The doctor began the blood transfusion to stabilize his condition. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He will be fine."
His words caused relief to spread among the servants in the mansion.
The doctor turned his attention towards the maid and inspected her. Soon he got up and said, "She has just lost consciousness due to being terrified. She will be fine."
The servants tended to both of them while waiting for the medical ninja to arrive. In around an hour, a medical ninja arrived. The doctor exchanged a few words with him and he began inspecting Isamu. He nodded his head and said, "You have done a great job."
He weaved a few hand signs and extended his palms towards Isamu.
