331. The Bloody Festival

"Sorry, I’m one of the good guys."

En Oyashiro calmly straightened his attire and, under the stunned gazes of everyone, uttered these words with composure.

"You dare betray me! En Oyashiro!"

Lord Enishi’s eyes seemed to spit fire, his entire body trembling with rage.

Sakami Yuzuru, who had brought the newspaper, was the first to step forward in support:

"My lord, order someone to seize this traitor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two ninjas hired to protect Lord Enishi swiftly moved into action.

They darted out from the side, drawing their blades and slashing fiercely at En Oyashiro

Unfortunately, En Oyashiro, who no longer needed to pretend, showed no fear in the face of these ninjas’ attacks.

He simply adjusted his glasses slightly, and a surge of blood erupted from beneath his feet.

The blood quickly formed a shield in front of him, effortlessly blocking the incoming strikes.

In the next moment, more blood coalesced into two long spears, piercing through the bodies of the two ninjas in an instant!

It had to be said, these rogue ninjas, heavily recruited by the noble lords, were worlds apart in professionalism compared to those from a ninja village like Konoha.

Let alone facing someone like En Oyashiro, an elite among elites.

Though Danzō had chosen En Oyashiro not for his strength, as a member of the Earth Branch squad, his abilities were far beyond what these rogue ninjas could handle.

It was only then that Lord Enishi, the renowned figure of the Land of Fire, realized in shock that En Oyashiro, the rising star of the business world, was actually a highly skilled ninja!

Even his carefully trained ninjas had been taken down in a single encounter...

As for Sakami Yuzuru, the man had already collapsed to the ground, his fat body trembling uncontrollably.

En Oyashiro merely sneered at this.

A red light flashed in his eyes, and a large amount of blood gathered behind him, forming a pair of wings.

With a flap of his wings, he swiftly ascended to the top of the arena.

Surveying the scene below, En Oyashiro gently shook his hand, pulling out a document.

"Due to the illegal assembly of a group of merchants in the Land of Fire, attempting to harm Konoha and threatening the safety of the entire nation..."

"Therefore, under the orders of Lord Danzō, I hereby pronounce the following judgment on all attendees..."

En Oyashiro's voice was loud and clear, each word striking like a heavy hammer on the hearts of those present.

Only now did these arrogant, wicked noble lords realize how absurd their efforts to oppose Konoha had been.

Like clowns, they had exhausted themselves in vain schemes that, in the eyes of the Darkness of the Shinobi, were nothing but jokes.

With just a flick of his finger, he could easily crush them all!

This immense psychological shift instantly plunged them into deep despair.

En Oyashiro, hovering above, smiled as he savored the moment.

He gently tugged at his slightly tight collar and delivered the verdict.

"I hereby sentence all of you..."

"To death."

"To be carried out immediately."

With that, he spread his arms wide.

All the cages beneath him opened at once.

The chimera beasts inside, previously dormant, awoke in an instant.

Their crimson eyes glowed like the gaze of demons, and their heavy footsteps sounded like death knells from hell!

Not only that, but the gladiators present also had red lights flickering in their eyes.

They swallowed capsules, picked up their weapons, and transformed into the most terrifying beasts!

Soon, piercing screams and agonized groans echoed throughout the arena.

The architect of this chaos slowly descended from the sky.

"Enjoy the slaughter."

En Oyashiro landed at the highest point of the arena, silently appreciating the bloody feast.

Another member of the Earth Branch, Hiruko, emerged from the shadows.

He handed En Oyashiro a cup of coffee, and together they watched the spectacle below.

"These noble lords, who usually look down on everyone, probably never imagined that one day they would be trampled underfoot by the very playthings they once controlled."

Hiruko's tone carried a hint of mockery.

To be honest, he held no particular feelings toward these nobles.

After all, he wasn’t a victim of their rule.

His only purpose in doing this was to carry out Danzō’s orders.

But En Oyashiro was different.

He had genuinely experienced the cruelty of these nobles and the suffering of the common people in the Land of Fire.

Moreover, the Blood Prison Clan had been exiled precisely because they had offended these noble lords.

Thus, he harbored a natural aversion to them.

Of course, Danzō’s influence also played a role.

Otherwise, his fate might have been the same as in the original story—becoming a corrupt businessman.

It just goes to show how strange fate can be.

In any case, this wave of nobles and merchants opposing Danzō was beyond saving.

The rogue ninjas hired by the nobles were no match for the chimera beasts and the death row inmates. In no time, many nobles were killed in the chaos.

Only Lord Enishi, surrounded by a group of ninjas, managed to save his life.

But this situation wouldn’t last long.

As the situation continued to deteriorate, the ninjas around him began to show clear signs of retreat.

The terrifying chimera beasts and the frenzied death row inmates filled them with deep fear.

If they didn’t run now, they would likely die!

That was their most immediate thought.

So, even as Lord Enishi increased his offers, promising them vast wealth, they didn’t dare to stay. No amount of money was worth it if they couldn’t spend it!

Thus, under Lord Enishi’s furious curses, they betrayed their master and fled.

Only Lord Enishi and his trusted advisor remained...

Sakami Yuzuru, the man who had introduced En Oyashiro to him!

Now, these two fat men, surrounded by the beasts, were filled with terror.

In this despair and fear, Sakami Yuzuru could no longer care about noble dignity or loyalty.

With a thud, he knelt on the ground and cried out:

"Please, Lord En Oyashiro, spare my life! I know where Lord Enishi’s treasure vault is!"

This immediately drew a furious glare from Lord Enishi.

But in this situation, Sakami Yuzuru couldn’t care less. He hurriedly continued:

"As long as you Konoha lords spare me, I’m willing to reveal the location of the treasure vault!"

Lord Enishi could no longer hold back.

Just as he was about to strike, Sakami Yuzuru acted first.

A spike suddenly shot out from the knuckle duster in his hand, and with a cold glint, it slashed across Lord Enishi’s throat!

This sudden turn of events even made En Oyashiro raise an eyebrow.

Although he had never planned to leave anyone alive, Sakami Yuzuru's decisiveness still surprised him.

But since the treasure vault had been mentioned, he quickly appeared before Sakami Yuzuru.

"Do you really know where Lord Enishi’s treasure vault is?"

Seeing an opportunity, Sakami Yuzuru immediately nodded:

"I do, but in exchange, you must take me to the Daimyo..."

Before he could finish, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his entire body went rigid.
