The Kekkeigenkai ability that surpasses ordinary Ninja Techniques.

In the Ninja Realm, it is a noble talent that only a very few can utilize.

Every Kekkeigenka Ninja who grows up is a formidable force, which is an indisputable consensus among ninjas.

What a shame, I haven’t become the legendary Bounty Hunter yet, and I’m going to die here in obscurity... The attacker with this regret, found his vision getting darker and his body heavier, finally falling powerlessly to the ground, dead.

Akakage looked at the corpse of the fallen attacker with indifferent eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze to the frightened girl sitting on the ground nearby.

"Follow me."

Akakage’s gaze left the girl’s delicate face, and he turned away, preparing to return to the Daimyo’s Mansion.

"Um... I seem to have twisted my ankle..."

The girl slightly lowered her head, her voice frail, as she rubbed her somewhat painful ankle.

Akakage turned his head back, looking again at this princess who was a bit younger than him, his expression showing slight impatience.

"Women, troublesome." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"You did well, Akakage. You did not disappoint my trust in you. You are indeed the most perfect ninja."

The praise and recognition from the Daimyo of the Land of Bear, Akakage remained expressionless, standing aside as if the person being praised was not him.

The Daimyo of the Land of Bear was accustomed to this and did not mind.

For a ninja loyal and capable, he had this tolerance.

Randomly, he looked at the girl rescued by Akakage, his daughter, the treasured princess of the Land of Bear.

"Oh my daughter, it’s so great you’re okay; when you were taken by those thieves, I worried about you for a long time."

The Daimyo of the Land of Bear was overjoyed, gently holding the girl’s hand, showing his concern for her.

The girl could only squeeze out a grateful smile from her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Father. I’m already fine."

The girl knew that her father bore no real affection toward her.

The reason she was so noticed was simple: among the many princesses of the Land of Bear, she was the most beautiful.

This greedy and ambitious father only thought of selling his daughter for a good price, rather than any parental concern.

"How can this be, what happened this time was a wake-up call for me. As the treasure of the Land of Bear, there are countless thieves coveting you in secret. So I plan to increase your protection. After all, you are the most beautiful gem in my hand."

The Daimyo of the Land of Bear showed deep concern in his eyes.

"As you wish, Father."

Knowing she had no right to refuse, the girl could only comply with her father’s arrangements.

For his daughter’s obedient attitude, the Daimyo of the Land of Bear felt very satisfied. He looked at the silent Akakage hesitantly and said: "Akakage, from today on, you will be Tamahime’s personal guard."

A ninja with desires, knowing only to obey orders, was undoubtedly the best choice to protect his daughter.

He didn’t want this beautiful gem to fall into someone else’s hands again, otherwise, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

"But..."

Akakage felt slightly displeased, but did not show it.

The Daimyo knew what Akakage wanted to say, closing the folding fan in his hand, said: "It’s decided. To a father who loves his daughter, her safety is the biggest matter."

Fool! Akakage evaluated the Daimyo of the Land of Bear inwardly.

But even so, he must fulfill his duties, showing no sign of hesitation or dissatisfaction, or everything would be for naught.

This matter should be decided by Lord Hakushi. Akakage thought helplessly.

Truly, women are symbols of trouble, only hindering his mission.

Regarding the expansion plan of the Land of Demons, he dared not be careless, any unexpected events outside the plan should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Hakushi reviewed the intelligence data from the Land of Snow, after two years of continuous development, roads across the country have been connected, and important facilities like schools and hospitals are also included in the dissemination plan, expected to be implemented by the end of next year, or the year after.

After all, the development of the Land of Snow relied on the economic power of the Land of Demons, to bring such a great change in two years.

The next step is to proceed with the plan step by step.

Speaking of which, it’s thanks to Kazahana Doto when he came to power, to consolidate his daimyo status, he purged a large number of nobles in the Land of Snow, by the time Koyuki came to power, the noble forces were basically thinned out by Kazahana Doto.

When the Land of Demons intervened, the noble forces were already too late to retaliate.

After a point of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the Land of Snow was firmly in the ’Destiny’ system established by the Land of Demons.

Thinking back now, recognizing Koyuki as his adopted daughter, Hakushi believed was a very wise political alliance.

"There’s nothing much to worry about for the Land of Snow. I heard recently, a lot of unidentified people have infiltrated the country without going through normal channels, is there such a thing?"

Hakushi put down the Land of Snow’s files, and turned to inquire the Intelligence Department’s communication personnel about this matter.
