In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Chapter 158 The Daming is a Girl

"Don't mess around." Neji frowned.

"No, how could that be!" Naruto laughed awkwardly, "I was just fulfilling my duties as a team member and offering some suggestions on the feasibility of the mission."

"Is it feasible?" Neji couldn't help but ask, "Ghosts don't exist."

Ding!

A familiar mechanical synthesizer sounded, and the panel options popped up. Naruto blinked, his face still expressionless.

[Option 1: Control the Kingdom of Birds. Reward: Kato Dan's Obsession, Spiritualization Technique]

[Option 2: Resolve the chaos in the Land of Birds. Reward: Death Gaze, Impure World Reincarnation (No Sacrifice Version)]

Naruto said faintly as his eyes swept over Neji.

“Now it can exist.”

"What?" Neji narrowed his eyes subconsciously and looked at Naruto with a wary face, "You don't want to pretend to be a ghost to scare those people who are harming the Bird Country, do you?"

"How could that be?" Naruto laughed dryly and punched Neji on the shoulder again. "Am I such a dark and dirty person in your eyes?"

Neji opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't think so, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this person really didn't do any serious work, so he just nodded.

Naruto looked heartbroken, clutching his chest as if he had suffered a deep blow.

"I always thought I was a good person."

Seeing this, Neji didn't have time to watch him get sick, and turned around and strode away. On the other side, Chishima also calmed down and stood up to prepare to go on the road together.

Before arriving at the Bird Country, Shinbaji, who looked like a weak version of him, gave a complete introduction to the situation of the Bird Country.

The situation is not complicated.

The former daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds was a figure similar to Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang. His ability to govern the country was average, but his reputation was indeed good.

The people at all levels were quite satisfied with the former daimyo. Even though it could not be compared with the five major countries, it could be said that they lived in peace and contentment.

Imperial Preceptor Meng Zong was a highly accomplished monk whose skills in alchemy had earned him the admiration of the former Daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds. He also held a good reputation and was considered a highly respected elder.

The counselor Hong Ming is a calm and wise person who is at the head of all officials. Hong Ming is in his prime and has a bright future.

Daimyo, imperial teacher, and counselor.

The delicate balance between the three did not last long, as the Daimyo was assassinated. The position of Daimyo could not be left vacant, so a new Daimyo had to be chosen as soon as possible to stabilize the people of Bird Country.

At that time, there were only two candidates for the position of daimyo: one was the son of the previous daimyo, Lu, who was of legitimate birth and whom Meng Zong fully supported, and the other was the strategist Hong Ming.

Amidst the fierce debate in the court over the theory of orthodox birth and the theory of ability, He eventually defeated Hongming and successfully ascended to become the new daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds.

Later, Lu's sister was also assassinated, and the cause was attributed to the ghost warrior.

"It was a ghost that suddenly appeared from the sky. All attacks were ineffective against it." Qiandao said with his shoulders trembling slightly.

"Shinpachi, calm down. There are no ghosts in this world." Naruto interrupted while hurrying on his way. "The dead cannot be resurrected. Where are the ghosts?"

There are no ghosts, but there are dead people who wake up.

As he spoke, he silently chose option two in his mind.

[Option 2: Reward: Resolve the Trouble in the Land of Birds. Death Gaze, Impure World Reincarnation (No Sacrifice Version)]

Leaving aside the rewards, controlling a small country like Bird Country is difficult to complete. In comparison, the second option of solving the Bird Country task is much easier.

Just find out the truth about the ghost warrior and put down the rebellion.

According to Ningji and Tenten's thinking, this matter is not complicated. There are only two people with vested interests, the national teacher Meng Zong and the strategist Hong Ming.

There must be a problem between two parties.

Just a little investigation might reveal other discoveries.

But Naruto knew very well that Shinbaji had no idea of ​​the truth. To be honest, this TV original plot was not very good and even a bit boring.

But the famous scene of the daimyo's daughter left such a deep impression on Naruto that he memorized all the plots in his mind.

The national teacher Meng Zong was not a high-level monk at all, but the leader of a group of wandering ninjas. He ordered his men to kill the previous daimyo and then killed the successor, Sagittarius.

His younger sister Princess Zhu Lu was in great pain when she saw her father and brother lying on the board. Unable to accept the reality, she wanted to force the whole family to be together.

When the knife was about to pierce his chest, Zhu Lu was stopped by his brother's soul.

After the pain subsided, Toki decided to fight to the death for revenge, so she tied up her long hair, disguised herself as her brother and spread the word. However, it was not Toki who died, but the daimyo's sister Toki.

In general, this is a story about Mulan in the ninja world who avenges her father and brother, disguises herself as a man to become a daimyo, and continues to investigate the truth under the name of a ghost warrior.

Unfortunately, Princess Zhu Lu was too inexperienced and the only thing she found after searching was the same.

To put it bluntly, it is a group of mediocre wandering ninjas who want to control the power of the Bird Kingdom. However, the Bird Kingdom is even weaker and there is no one who can fight.

Even if a wandering ninja could attempt to seize the power of the Bird Country, there was no reason why he couldn't do it. But in fact, they were just hired ninjas and were subject to many restrictions.

Not to mention seizing the power of the Land of Birds, even getting in touch with the daimyo is not an easy task.

Even though he wanted the rewards of both option one and option two, both the Spirit Transformation Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation that did not require sacrifices were extremely attractive to Naruto.

Moreover, Mr. Kato's spirit transformation technique is quite cool. He can forcibly drag out other people's souls and play shamefully. He is a spiritual minotaur, the coolest in the ninja world.

Fortunately, happiness and risk are directly proportional. Mr. Kato suffered a severe kidney attack on a rainy night and died of excessive blood loss.

What is now in front of Naruto is the Spirit Transformation Technique and the other is the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose the latter.

The drawback to the spirit transformation technique is that once the soul is unsheathed, the body becomes immobile. If the body isn't properly protected, or if a traitor appears in the team, then it's game over.

At this stage, Naruto didn't really need the Spiritual Transformation Technique. And judging by the nature of the system, the Spiritual Transformation Technique might become an option again in the future.

Although it would be a loss no matter which one you choose, after comprehensive consideration, option 2 seems to be the more cost-effective.

At the same time, a bold idea came to Naruto's mind.

The current daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds is Princess Toki, a man disguised as a woman. If she is willing to risk her life to avenge her brother and father, then what if it were another way...

Try to see if you can find a system bug.

If you are not careful, you may get stuck at the requirements of the first option.

Chapter 159 Revenge Princess

The last time I tried to fix the bug was in early summer, and it almost crashed the system.

We were young then, but times are different now.

Not only do you need to bet, but you also need to be bold in your approach! Be brave enough to try and game the system.

After arriving in the Land of Birds, Neji led the team to investigate the most suspicious strategist, Hongming. After all, Hongming was the biggest competitor of the current daimyo.

Naruto knew the truth, but he also patiently followed the investigation.

There was nothing wrong with Hong Ming. If we didn't speculate, we wouldn't find anything. Obviously, Neji and Tenten also realized this.

In this situation, either Hong Ming is hiding something, or there is something fishy about Meng Zong. A person with a real problem cannot resist investigation, and Meng Zong quickly attracted Neji's attention.

Things are finally getting back on track, and the rest is easy.

As they investigated Meng Zong, they felt something was amiss. Not only was he not a high-ranking monk, but he also had close ties with a mysterious organization.

The three of them would occasionally listen to Chishima, who looked very similar to Shinpachi, chattering about his childhood with Daimyo Saru.

"His personality has changed? Is he still the same Sagittarius?" Naruto glanced at Chishima. "Aren't you the so-called Daimyo's childhood sweetheart? How come his personality has changed? You can't even explain why."

"Maybe it was because of the death of his father and sister...that made Lu..." Qiandao said reluctantly.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to see you." Naruto played steadily, but there was one more thing he didn't say. Zhu Lu, who was dressed as a man, was afraid of being discovered by someone familiar.

"Stop talking, the person is here." Tiantian warned.

......

At night, when the ghost warrior fell from the sky, Naruto threw several shurikens at him.

The ghost warrior hanging by the kite fell to the ground with a bang. Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.

The so-called ghost warriors are nothing more than kite warriors.

He was just a man who used a huge black kite to create a ghostly appearance in the air at night.

"The ghost warrior is indeed fake, chase him."

"Don't chase them, they're surrounded." Neji said, "We can't fight with the soldiers from the Land of Birds. We have to leave here first."

"What a hassle." Naruto complained.

"That's what ninjas are like. Stop complaining and let's go." Tenten pulled Naruto and the three of them left the woods.

That night, Meng Zong's men surrounded the residences of Ningji, Tiantian, and Naruto, and found the ghost warrior's armor in the home of the strategist Hongming.

Meng Zong, who had sensed something was amiss, had already begun closing in. As long as he killed his strategist Hong Ming, he would be the only one who could rule the Bird Kingdom.

Neji didn't want to conflict with the Bird Country army, so he once again gave the order to break out.

Forest.

The night wind was cold and the three people who had broken out separately gathered together again according to their original agreement.

Moonlight streamed into the forest, and the dead leaves underfoot rustled.

Ningci frowned and said, "It's clear now. Hongming is not the mastermind behind the ghost warriors. This matter is most likely related to Meng Zong."

"And...Meng Zong and his advisor Hong Ming must have guessed the ghost warrior's identity, so Meng Zong took the initiative."

"What should we do now?" Naruto asked.

"Split into two groups," Neji replied. "Tenten and I will sneak into the execution grounds and rescue Hongming. Naruto, you will find a way to enter the Daimyo's mansion and tell him the truth."

"With this, our mission is accomplished."

He was right. Konoha's mission was to uncover the true identity of the Ghost Samurai and drive them away. If Hongming died, the clues to the Ghost Samurai would be lost again.

The prerequisite for Ningji and Tenten to take Hongming away is that they must have a legitimate reason. Only by telling the Daimyo of the Land of Birds about Meng Zong's conspiracy and letting the Daimyo deprive Meng Zong of his status as the national teacher can they take action.

"Okay." Naruto didn't care.

Eliminate Meng Zong and his group, and the reward for Impure World Reincarnation will be yours. As for Zhu Lu, if he's still mentally sound, he should know what to do.

It was late at night, and Naruto quietly entered the daimyo's mansion.

He dodged the waiters and patrolling soldiers, calculated the opportunity, and quietly climbed onto the roof of the daimyo's mansion. He jumped lightly all the way and landed right above the daimyo's room.

With a soft thud, Naruto landed gently on the ground like a falling leaf.

At this moment, Zhu Lu's hair was not tied up, but scattered on both sides. The ghost warrior armor on her body had just been untied, revealing the lining, and she was still in the process of removing the armor.

The palace was enormous, like a prince's chamber, with a bed large enough to accommodate ten people. Palace lanterns slowly burned, illuminating the entire palace.

"you!--"

Zhu Lu was too weak to notice Naruto's arrival. When he looked up suddenly, he saw a yellow-haired man falling from the roof.

She was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she had not completely taken off her armor. Her secret was exposed, and she suddenly felt murderous.

Before he could even utter the word "you", Naruto's pupils dilated slightly and he reacted extremely quickly without the slightest hesitation.

A monkey climbed over the mountain, spun its body directly in the air, covered the ibis's mouth with a slap, sat on her, and pushed her heavily to the ground.

He had no mercy on women, and his teammate only had one life.

If something goes wrong with his role as a saint, Neji and Tenten will be forced into a dangerous situation of fighting against the army of the Land of Birds.

"Do not talk."

He raised his hand, and Molten Escape instantly covered his palm, melting through the floor before her eyes.

"If you don't want your face to look like this, you'd better keep quiet now. I don't have the patience to talk to you."

Seeing the fear in Toki's eyes, Naruto then continued.

"I'm a ninja from Konoha."

Identify yourself to make customers feel more at ease. Although you are a temporary worker, you have professional ethics.

Sure enough, Princess Ibis, who was pinned to the ground and trembling, was no longer as frightened after hearing the voice of the Konoha ninja.
