Chapter 91 Arrogant Daimyo's son

A small boat drifted on the vast ocean, shuttling through the waves.

There were five people on the boat, four guards and one prisoner.

Unfortunately, Haru was one of the prisoners.

This matter started a day ago. After the efforts of the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen gave up the plan to escort Haru to the daimyo's mansion.

Even Mito came to defend Haru which was unexpected but no one knew that Mito had been requested by Tsunade to do so.

Even though Mito doesn't want to handle the political affair of village, she still had to do this because she sensed that Tsunade really loved Haru.

She tested her several times and her feeling for Haru were very warm. This was how she used her abilities gained from nine tails to check other's feelings

Of course, it would not be necessary to release Hary directly, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the daimyo, so a compromise plan was adopted.

Haru was first thrown into the Hozuki Castle and detained temporarily. After the murderer was found, Hru would be fished out of it.

The so-called Hozuki Castle is a prison commissioned by various countries to build the Kusagakure Village to detain criminal ninjas. It is located on a small island near the Kusagakure Village and is surrounded by the sea.

Once a prisoner enters, there are only two ways to leave. The first is that the village to which he belongs sends a formal letter. The Second option is to die in the Hozuki castle

After the ship docked, Haru was escorted to the Hozuki Castle.

After entering the Castle, Haru was subjected to a powerful sealing technique called Fire Style: Heavenly Prison.

Once hit, the chakra concentration will be restricted, making it impossible to perform ninjutsu.

And if you are too far away from the caster, the spell imposed on you by the Heavenly Prison will turn into a flame chain that will wrap around the body of the escapee.

After being subjected to the Fire Style: Heavenly Prison, Haru went through a standard imprisonment procedure and was then thrown into a cage.

Lying on the hard bed, Haru was thinking about one thing.

When he was strong enough, he would kill Daimyo of land of fire.

......

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was processing official documents, heard a knock on the door, looked up, and said "Come in".

After a while, a middle-aged man with a shuriken pattern on his arm and clothes opened the door and walked in.

He is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

He appeared here, most likely for that matter again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and slowly said: "It's about Haru's matter..."

The Uchiha clan leader nodded in agreement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his concern: "How is the search for the criminal going?"

The Uchiha clan leader held his breath and replied: "After our clan's hard search, we finally found some clues and the criminal has been arrested."

"Found it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was briefly surprised.

Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask how he found it, but he seemed to have thought of something, skipped this question, and then changed it to another question: "That's good, what is the motive?"

The Uchiha clan leader's eyes narrowed, and he understood: "The youngest son of the lord hired assassins to assassinate his father and brother in order to get to the top. Later, because he wanted to kill people to silence them and eliminate future troubles, he was killed by the assassin."

This reason was written by him, and there would be no evidence anyway.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to remember something: "Speaking of which, the lord's castle caught fire some time ago, and it seems that the time seems to coincide"

The Uchiha clan leader followed his words and echoed: "That's right, the fire was set by the murderer."

"I see, that's what I said, how could there be a fire for no reason. So there is this logic behind it."

"What about Haru's matter..." the Uchiha clan leader asked, expecting Sarutobi Hiruzen to get Haru out of prison.

This was something they had agreed on from the beginning.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not break his promise and made a promise: "Don't worry, I will mediate with the daimyo about

Haru's matter and rescue him from Hozuki Castle."

"Please..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that he was so sincere and even a little humble, and smiled: "I think if Haru knew that you were running around for him, he would be very moved after he was released from prison."

The Uchiha clan leader said seriously: "This is what I should do as the clan leader. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. Although it was a pity, after this incident, he was afraid that Haru would never be able to be won over by his side again.

Thinking of this, he stood up and prepared to leave the Hokage's office.

....

After arriving at the city where the daimyo lived, Hiruzen booked a hotel.

The daimyo was usually very "busy". If you wanted to meet him, you had to make an appointment in advance, and then the people around the daimyo would arrange the time for the meeting.

On the second day, Hiruzen went there early for fear of being late.

The agreed time was around ten o'clock in the morning. He was punctual, but the other party broke the appointment.

It was not until they waited for more than half an hour that the other party finally arrived late with a little girl in his arms.

The other party didn't care much about it and sat on the sofa.

Hiruzen didn't care about the arrogant and rude attitude. He showed the calmness and looked at the man in front of him.

He was about twenty years old, handsome, with blue hair, and the twisted hair on his forehead reminded him of seaweed.  

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked confused. He remembered that he had an appointment with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and he did not understand why it was a young man.

The blue-haired young man guessed Hiruzen's confusion and introduced himself: "My name is Shinji, and I am the son of the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head slightly, with a look of realization on his face..

"Why is Daimyo not here ..." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Shinji answered and explained: "Father has recently begun to think about retiring, so he plans to let me take over . I have been transferring power from the beginning bit by bit recently."

Hiruzen understood, but was still a little confused: "I remember that your father seems to be still very young..."

" He wanted to give young people a chance."

"Your father is really open-minded." Sarutobi Hiruzen complimented: "It is really admirable."

"It's okay."

That's right, in fact, Shinji knew that his father felt that being a daimyo was boring and had to deal with a lot of trivial things all day long, so he gave up the throne so that he could live freely.

"But if you ask me, Your Highness Shinji is great. He has shouldered the mission of developing the Land of Fire at such a young age."

Shinji had heard a lot of flattery, but he still enjoyed it and his expression was proud.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that the foreshadowing was in place and was about to get to the point, but Shinji suddenly said, "By the way, it's rare for the Hokage to come all the way here, I'll let you see my collection."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the Uchiha guards beside him without showing any expression, and he could only agree with helplessness.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had grown up, Shinji showed a happy expression and led Sarutobi Hiruzen and others to an empty horse farm.

He loved riding Horses.

He spent a lot of money to build a stable, and every year he would spend money to buy this year's champion racehorse, breed it, and produce excellent offspring for his own fun.

As the excellent horses grew larger, ordinary horses could no longer satisfy him, so he gave the horses to his men for experiments.

Although countless good horses were sacrificed in the process, these sacrifices were worth it because he accidentally created the one-of-a-kind unicorn in the world.

Whether it is skin color, endurance, strength, or speed, it is far beyond ordinary horses and is an indisputable priceless treasure.

He only has one horse of this level.

Shinji loves this horse very much and named it Hermes.

Every day, there are special people who take care of it all day long.

If the unicorn is uncomfortable that day, he will vent his anger on the spot and seal the person who is taking care of it in cement to death.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this unique unicorn and expressed his heartfelt approval.

He felt that this horse was good enough to be a summoning beast in terms of rating.

Shinji was proud of hearing this. He liked to see others look at his possessions and show an expression of envy and jealousy.

"By the way, Lord Hokage seems to have something to talk to me about, right?"

Shinji seemed to finally remember that Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have something to talk to him about.

In fact, he had always known about it, but he was just being arrogant on purpose.

This was a way to control the other party.

With the opportunity to speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen stated his purpose, wanting to obtain the daimyo's authorization to release Haru.

Upon hearing this, Shinji's face, which had just been smiling, immediately turned cold and he said arrogantly, "Don't get it wrong, we have already shown the greatest forgiveness by not executing that brat immediately. Don't even think about letting him out."

The Uchiha clan's guards beside Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but say, "But we have found the murderer..."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Shinji sneered, his face full of anger as if he had lost his temper, "Why do you think we do this? We pay you such a large sum of money every year, but you can't even do a simple guard job, and you even dare to be shameless . It's really disgusting. If this kind of thing happened to a samurai in the past, let alone running away during a mission, they would have committed suicide out of shame if their master lost a hair during a mission."

Not only that, Shinji also made a specific threat, "Maybe I should consider allocating the budget for Konoha to you next year."

It was the first time that the Uchiha clan's guards were scolded so badly they wanted to take action.

Shinji frowned, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face: "By the way, who are you? You actually interrupted my conversation with your Hokage? You are so disrespectful."

"His name is Uchiha Enka, and he is my bodyguard. He is just worried about his companions. Please don't be offended, Your Highness Shinji."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be speaking for Uchiha Enka, but in fact he pushed him directly into the fire pit.

Shinji seemed to understand something, narrowed his eyes, said "oh", and dragged his eyes: "I understand, I was wondering why you are so protective of that kid, it turns out that he is from the same clan. Your clan's ninjas have always had some undisciplined ninjas since ancient times. No wonder such a kid appeared this time."

He said that he would be imprisoned for life, and he would be imprisoned for life, and he would never compromise.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly and glanced at the Uchiha guards with helplessness on his face.

His eyes seemed to say that it was not that he did want to get Haru out, but that the Daimyo was unwilling to let him go.

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Enka informed the clan leader and Elder Yasuhi of the Daimyo's tough reply.

"I know, you should withdraw first."

Knowing that Haru could not be released, the Uchiha clan leader dismissed his subordinates, and said anxiously: "What should I do, Elder Yasuhi, the Daimyo is unwilling to release him."

Elder Yasuhi narrowed his eyes, his expression calm.

It doesn't matter, he will take action.

Haru has suffered enough in prison, and it is time to release him.
