Iga Kako’s face was full of sorrow, "My grandfather and my father t with misfortune last night!"
"What?" Pingliang Xiangzhi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Weren’t they fine when we left last night?"
Iga Kako sobbed and said, "After we arrived in Yokohama last night, my grandfather wanted to take advantage of an opportunity, so he led the family mbers to launch an attack on the Tokugawa Clan. But they t with fierce resistance from the Tokugawa Clan, with heavy casualties."
"The other clan mbers either died, were injured, or escaped. Now our Iga Clan is finished!"
The Tokugawa Clan, recognized as the leading Ninja Clan in Wa Country, had a solid foundation. Even though most disciples went to Great Xia, they were not sothing the Iga Clan could contend with.
"Jiazi, don’t be sad for now," Pingliang Xiangzhi said, "I’ll have soone look for your family mbers later and protect them."
She sympathized with Iga Kako’s situation since she had just experienced misfortune herself.
Iga Kako’s eyes were misty with tears, "Xiangzhi, thank you for your kindness, but if you help us, you’ll offend the Tokugawa Clan."
Pingliang Xiangzhi tightly held her hand and said softly, "You’re my best friend, so why should I fear offending the Tokugawa Clan for you?"
Although the strength of ninjas was terrifying, she had a deity secretly protecting her, giving her confidence against the Tokugawa Clan.
Of course, as the leader of the Wa Country Warrior Faction, she had hundreds of thousands of samurai under her command. Once this power united, what was a re ninja clan?
"What is the strength of the Tokugawa Clan’s leader?" Xu Wendong asked curiously.
Iga Kako’s face was full of sadness, "Tokugawa Chiharu stepped into the Master Ninja realm ten years ago, and now should have reached the Earth Ninja level. Otherwise, he couldn’t have killed my grandfather."
Xu Wendong then asked, "And you? What level are you at now?"
"I just stepped into the Upper Ninja realm." Iga Kako desperately wanted to avenge her grandfather and father, but the difference in strength between her and Tokugawa Chiharu was vast. With her talent, even after a hundred years of cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to defeat him.
Seeing Iga Kako’s sad and helpless appearance, Xu Wendong said, "You should settle down here for now. Even if the Tokugawa Clan wants to exterminate you, they must weigh their abilities."
"Moreover, I have learned so pharmacology in Great Xia, and I can prepare so dicinal liquids to help improve your physique, aiding in increasing your strength to defeat Tokugawa Chiharu."
Xu Wendong originally wanted to help Iga Kako by refining so elixirs, but during the battle with the Eight-Forked Serpent, the Ge Furnace broke, and he didn’t have a pill furnace now.
"Rember, don’t think about revenge now. You must adjust your mindset and strike a lethal blow when the enemy is weakened."
Pingliang Xiangzhi also said, "What Mr. Yanagida said makes sense. Now that the balance among the three ninja clans has been broken, only the Tokugawa and Mito Families are left. If I’m not mistaken, an inevitable fierce battle will occur between these two families; it’s just a matter of ti!"
"We should wait and watch, then reap the benefits once it’s over."
Iga Kako nodded solemnly.
Although she felt sad about her family’s passing, she was a strong-willed woman, quickly firming her resolve for revenge and adjusting her mindset.
After breakfast, Xu Wendong left the Yamato Kendo Hall. First, he went to two shops selling Chinese dicinal herbs, bought so to help improve people’s physiques, and then had them sent to the Yamato Kendo Hall.
Though a gentle embrace could be srizing, he hadn’t forgotten the important matters.
For instance, tonight was the day Yano Yamato returned to Wa Country.
He wanted to welco Yano Yamato’s soul back to its holand.
-----
At the sa ti.
Wa Country National Diet Center.
This was the power center of Wa Country, similar to the Forbidden City in ancient Huaxia.
Wa Country’s current Pri Minister, Noda Fumio, was sitting at his computer desk, browsing through the materials delivered by his secretary. Over fifty, he was at the most vigorous stage of his life.
Though recently inaugurated, under his administration, Wa Country had shown a flourishing and prosperous outlook.
But just then, his office door was knocked.
"Co in."
Noda Fumio didn’t look up.
The door opened, and Koizumi Oda respectfully walked in, bowed, and with a face full of sorrow, said, "Pri Minister, please uphold justice for my Koizumi Family!"
Noda Fumio then raised his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes, "What happened?"
Koizumi Oda, with a face full of humiliation, said, "A few days ago, our nation’s cultivators went to Great Xia to find [True Immortal Xu], wanting to kill him to avenge the Eight-Forked Serpent. Sohow, Yamato Kendo Hall Master Yano Yamato tragically died abroad."
"Our Koizumi Family spent a lot of money to retrieve Yano Yamato’s body, solely to bring the hero back ho and allow his spirit to rest in peace."
"However, on the way back, our people were attacked by the Fukuda Family. Not only did Yano Yamato’s body disappear, but even our Koizumi Family mbers were killed."
"Please, Pri Minister, uphold justice for our family." Saying this, he deeply bowed.
"Such a thing occurred?" Noda Fumio frowned. He was aware of Wa Country cultivators entering Great Xia, as it had his tacit approval.
However, he hadn’t anticipated Yano Yamato’s death, nor Wa Country citizens killing each other in Great Xia, which stirred an invisible anger within him.
He picked up the phone, directly contacting his secretary, instructing them to call Fukuda Jiro to his office.
Very soon.
Fukuda Jiro arrived at Noda Fumio’s office. Seeing Koizumi Oda, he remained very calm.
"Good morning, Pri Minister." Fukuda Jiro greeted politely.
Noda Fumio expressionless, "Koizumi just said that your Fukuda Family’s people killed Koizumi Family mbers in Great Xia. Is this true?"
"Pri Minister, we have been wronged." Fukuda Jiro already had an explanation prepared, "Yano Yamato and I have been close friends for years. Hearing of his tragic end saddened greatly, and I sent people to find his body, even spending two million US dollars!"
"However, when the body was returned, it turned out to be Koizumi Mamoru, not Yano Yamato!"
"We were deceived and are victims too. Soone is deliberately trying to incite conflict between us and the Koizumi Family. Please, Pri Minister, look into this and give us justice to prevent others from stirring trouble in the shadows."
Noda Fumio was relieved and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, apologize to Koizumi. I believe Koizumi is a reasonable person and won’t bear a grudge over sothing like this."
Koizumi Oda was bewildered. Although Fukuda Jiro was your man, the favoritism was too blatant!
