Chapter 69: Angry Cardo
Following the guidance of the tavern owner, Danzo and others were successfully brought to the base of Cardo Company in the Land of Whirlpools.
At the door, two sloppy vagrants were leaning against the wall, looking like scoundrels.
From time to time, he reached out and stroked the sword slung around his waist.
Looking inside through the gap in the gate, most of the people inside were ronin, and there were almost no ninjas.
"Hey, where are you ninjas from and what do you want to do?"
Seeing that Danzo and others were looking at the door, the two ronin could no longer hold back and drew their weapons and stepped forward to question.
"Is Cardo here?"
Looking at the tip of the knife in front of him, Danzo stopped Ye Cang who was about to attack, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Whether our boss is here or not is none of your business—"
One of the ronin sounded impatient and waved his sword, trying to drive them away.
However, Danzo easily grabbed the right hand holding the knife.
"Ah, it hurts!"
The ronin only felt his wrist being clamped tightly by the pliers. He could no longer hold the knife in his hand and dropped it to the ground.
"How dare you, a bunch of bastard ninjas, attack a samurai!"
Another ronin saw his companion being attacked and swung his sword to cut off Danzo's arm.
However, Ye Cang's kunai was obviously faster than his.
The ronin stabbed the kunai in his hand into the opponent's neck. The ronin covered his neck with his hands, his face full of disbelief.
They didn't expect that someone would actually dare to openly kill members of the Cardo Company in the Whirlpool Country.
"You, me, this..."
Seeing his companion fall, the ronin who was clamped by Danzo was instantly panicked.
He started to speak incoherently.
"I'll ask you again, is Cardo here?"
Danzo thought that the other party should have understood the situation, so he asked again.
"No, he's not here. Lord Cardo went to the Land of Waves half a month ago..."
The ronin answered Danzo's question tremblingly.
He no longer cared about the dignity of a samurai. Now he just hoped that the other party would spare his life.
"Oh, is it so."
After getting the answer, Danzo loosened his hand.
Before the ronin could breathe a sigh of relief.
Then I saw Danzo bending down and picking up the sword that the opponent had just dropped.
"Uh, thank you, thank you--"
When the ronin saw this, he thought the other party was helping him pick it up.
Unexpectedly, Danzo stabbed the knife directly into his abdomen.
"You're welcome."
From the very beginning, Danzo had no intention of letting this guy live.
Looking at Cardo's men who kept pouring out after hearing the noise, Danzo smiled.
"Kill them all."
......
This doesn't even count as a fight.
If he was a well-trained samurai, he might be able to compete with a ninja.
Unfortunately, not all samurai have Mifune's strength.
Danzo was even too lazy to use ninjutsu, and relied on physical skills to kill most of the minions that blocked his way.
Finally we arrived at a place that seemed to be a warehouse.
When the door was opened, all the goods inside were displayed before Danzo's eyes.
Although it is a pity that Cardo himself is not here, the goods inside are indeed enough for him to make a fortune.
Send someone to call Tatsuya and tell him to bring more people.
In full view of everyone, Danzo and his men raided Cardo's warehouse.
If there is not enough space, it will be distributed on the spot.
Ever since the fall of the Whirlpool Country, he had suggested to Hiruzen that he send someone to take over the place.
But the other party refused on the grounds that Konoha was too far away.
As a result, it was occupied by villains like Cardo.
This is because Cardo is not here, otherwise Danzo would definitely use ninjutsu to greet the other party properly.
Finally, the warehouse was found to be so clean that even mice couldn't find anything.
Ye Cang and Uchiha Qing each set a fire and destroyed the corpse completely.
The fire was so big that the entire Whirlpool Country could see the thick smoke.
"Fuck, what a sin."
The tavern owner who showed Danzo the way stood at the door with cold sweat on his face.
He didn't expect that Danzo was so powerful that he could directly destroy the entire base.
I don't know if Cardo is in there.
If he wasn't dead, and I heard that I was the one who showed him the way, wouldn't I skin him alive? !
Feeling that his life was in danger, the tavern owner stopped doing business and ran directly to his room to pack up his things.
Prepare to leave the Whirlpool Country immediately.
On Danzo's side, he packed up all the supplies and waited for the blood-stained Kakuzu to meet up with them.
He left the Whirlpool Kingdom in a swagger.
......
"Hmm? What happened in Whirlpool Country? Why is there so much smoke?"
On the sea, a fleet consisting of seven large ships is heading towards the Whirlpool Country.
Hanging above is the flag of the Cardo Company.
A warrior on guard was looking at the black smoke on the island through a telescope, his face full of confusion.
"Let me see?"
Hearing this, his companion took the other person's telescope and looked in the direction where the smoke came from.
"Strange, that location doesn't look far from our base."
Pulling the telescope to its longest position, the other party muttered.
"No! There's something wrong."
The guy holding the telescope looked more and more and felt that the fire looked familiar.
"That's our base!!!"
With a cry of surprise, everyone heard the news.
When Cardo, who was on the largest ship in the center of the fleet, heard that his base had been burned down.
His initial reaction was one of disbelief.
How could anyone dare to burn down their own base?
Everyone nearby knows that he is the overlord of this sea area.
But when he really arrived in front of the base that was still burning.
Reality slapped him hard.
That's right, his base was burned down by someone.
Not only did he burn down the base, he also killed all his men.
"Who did this? I ask you who did this!"
Waving the civilized staff in his hand, Cardo whipped one of his men beside him fiercely.
The beaten men dared not say a word and turned around to look for the people around them.
He first beat the other person as a way of venting his anger, and then began to interrogate him.
Soon, the men reported the information they had obtained to Cardo.
"What, you mean the ninjas from Konoha?"
When he heard that the guy who did it was a ninja, Cardo became even angrier.
He had never provoked the Fire Nation's fleet and had hired Konoha's rebel ninjas many times.
It would have been fine if they didn't thank me, but they actually burned down my base.
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.
I learned that the other party left by boat.
Cardo immediately ordered his men to go out in full force and find their whereabouts.
At the same time, he also sent people to the black market to hire a group of ninjas once they found the guys who burned down their base.
Just go and kill the other person.
"No matter who did it, I'm going to let him know that the only outcome for messing with me, Cardo, is death!"
