Inoue Daimyo

"I…" Princess Asuka looked at Tetsuno with a shy face.

Although spending time with him during this period of time made her feel some affection for Tetsuno, now that she was suddenly asked to marry Tetsuno, she is somewhat perplexed.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Tetsuno took a deep breath and replied with a serious face, "Asuka-Chan, I will definitely treat you well!"

Asuka-Chan was the way only her father referred to her, and now, suddenly, being called that by Tetsuno made Princess Asuka even more shy.

"I, I believe you…" Princess Asuka replied softly with a blush on her face and a very low voice.

Since ancient times, parents have chosen husbands for their daughters based on the benefits they can gain.

The spouse in this marriage could be another daimyo, or a minister under his command. Princess Asuka has long been prepared for such a destiny.

But now she's lucky enough to be able to marry the person she likes, so how could she be dissatisfied?

Although she doesn't love Tetsuno yet, liking him a little is enough. It's better than marrying someone she hates or loathes.

Seeing that Princess Asuka agreed, Tetsuno suddenly showed a happy expression, and at the same time tried to put Princess Asuka in his arms, and the two hugged.

Time passed slowly and half a month passed quickly.

In the past ten days, with the support of Daimyo Tanaka and the firm support of the five ministers, and the other five ministers who did not cause any trouble, Tetsuno has basically dominated all rights within the sphere of influence of Tanzaku-gai.

The day after tomorrow, Tetsuno and Princess Asuka will be married. If the wedding goes through, Tetsuno will inherit the position of daimyo.

"Tetsuno, do you already know who the wedding guests are?"

In a room, Shigeru and two other people were sitting together.

Tetsuno nodded. "Yes, young patriarch. In addition to the banquet for the ministers and major businessmen within the Tanzaku-gai sphere of influence, Daimyo Inoue of the West will be invited to the wedding the day after tomorrow."

Because Daimyo Inoue married Daimyo Tanaka's eldest daughter, they will also come.

"Apart from that, there is no one else."

"Daimyo Inoue?" Shigeru turned and asked, "Do you know if he'll bring ninja guards?"

This is a very serious question, Tanaka Daimyo is currently under Shigeru's control through genjutsu.

During this period of time, except for Princess Asuka and the ministers, Tanaka Daimyo basically saw no one else, so naturally there was no problem.

But tomorrow's wedding is different. As Asuka's father, Daimyo Tanaka must attend in public. During this time, if any ninja discover that Daimyo Tanaka has fallen under a genjutsu, it will be problematic.

Therefore, before the wedding can take place, Shigeru must resolve all the hidden dangers.

Therefore, to Shigeru's question, Tetsuno answered without hesitation.

"City ministers and businessmen will not bring ninjas here. Only businessmen from other towns outside the city will choose to lead ninja guards for their own safety.

However, the ninja guards brought by these businessmen are all basically at the chuunin and genin level, and these ninjas will not be attending the wedding, so there is nothing to worry about.

The only thing we need to pay attention to is that Daimyo Inoue of the West, when he comes to the wedding, he should have jounin-level guards, although I don't know which ninja clan he will hire as guards."

After hearing Tetsuno's words, Shigeru nodded "Okay, I understand, when will they arrive?"

"Young Patriarch, according to the messenger, Inoue Daimyo and Asuka's sister left yesterday morning, and their arrival time at Tanzaku-gai should be around three in the afternoon."

Shigeru turned to look at Zenitsu: "Zenitsu-San, stay and protect Tetsuno, and I will solve the problem of Inoue Daimyo."

Of course, Shigeru's solution was not to kill the Daimyo, but to make the Daimyo's guardian ninja lose the ability to detect Tanaka Daimyo's genjutsu.

As for how to achieve this, didn't the three puppet ninjas around Tanaka Daimyo set a good example?

"Okay!" Zenitsu nodded and agreed.

He knew that the young patriarch's ability was more suited for such a thing, and as for himself, the storm release ability was more suited for fighting, so the most appropriate thing for him was to stay and protect his son.

After assigning the task, Shigeru got up and left the house.

It was already noon and he had to leave the city early.

In town, Shigeru stopped and packed a portion of grilled fried rice, then headed out of town with lunch.

After all, you can't starve while solving problems. You still have to eat lunch.

After leaving Tanzaku-gai Castle, Shigeru appeared five kilometers to the west and waited, while quietly eating his lunch.

The sun moves slowly west.

It was two in the afternoon.

Shigeru had long sensed three jounin-level chakrams moving in that direction, but he didn't act rashly, instead wanting to wait until the other party approached.

Slowly, three ninjas appeared escorting a carriage.

Those with good perception are good at hiding. The three guardian ninjas didn't notice Shigeru hiding.

As the carriage approached, a blast of cold air entered the carriage, and the eyes of a man and a woman in the carriage immediately went dim.

This is the ability of ice escape to freeze thoughts, and strictly speaking, it does not fall into the category of genjutsu.

Therefore, even after today's incident, no one will be able to discover that Daimyos Inoue and his wife have been manipulated.

The next second, Shigeru used Ice Jump and appeared in front of the carriage instantly.

Seeing this, the three Jonin were about to attack without saying a word, but as soon as the ice-blue chakra in Shigeru's pupils circulated, the three ninjas who were looking at Shigeru immediately stood there.
