The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 153 A Great Name Must Not Be Insulted

Humiliated by An in this way, Daming's face immediately turned ashen, but after his lips twitched, he ultimately dared not say anything.

Not only that, but because he was afraid of angering An, he didn't dare to wipe the thick phlegm off his face.

"You can talk about recruitment again when you dare to wipe away your phlegm in front of me!" An said disdainfully.

Seeing that An had released the daimyo, the guard ninjas quickly teleported over and tightly protected the daimyo behind them.

Some wanted to take the daimyo away, while others brandished puppets at An.

However, An's chakra surged, and Susanoo rose from the ground, smashing all the puppets to pieces with a single slap. With a quick grab, it also pulled the daimyo back.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Daming was terrified, his whole body trembling like a leaf. He frantically waved his hands, trying to distance himself, saying, "I didn't order them to do it!"

"They acted on their own initiative!"

Fearing An wouldn't believe him, the daimyo poked his head out from within Susanoo's giant hand and yelled at the guards below, "Bastards!"

"This gentleman is my honored guest. Who gave you permission to lay a hand on him?"

"Get out of here!"

"Get lost!"

The group of guarding ninjas looked at each other, having no other choice but to obediently put away the puppet and retreat.

"Good boy." An reached out and patted Daming's head, just like petting her own pet dog.

Daming looked embarrassed, but could only force a smile, his smile as wide as a domesticated husky's.

"I'm giving you another task." An Yi pointed to Shukaku in the distance and said calmly, "See that tailed beast over there?"

"I'll send an order to the Sand Village later, telling them that this tailed beast belongs to me from now on, and they shouldn't harass my pet anymore."

"This—" Dai Ming's face stiffened, but when his gaze met An's icy eyes, he immediately wilted and nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying, "No problem!"

"The tailed beasts cause trouble every year, and many people die because of them. Their families hate them to death. It's better to get rid of them than to let them stay in the village and cause trouble!"

"Sir, we in Sunagakure are more than grateful that you're willing to take on this menace; how could we possibly have any objections?"

"Haha—" An felt extremely pleased and patted the daimyo with satisfaction, praising, "You truly are a qualified daimyo!"

"Here's what we'll do. If there are any issues with you in your country, and they want to overthrow your rule, you might as well send someone to ask me for help."

"Even for the sake of peace in the ninja world, I will help you stabilize your national rule!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."

Amidst the daimyo's profuse thanks, An left Wind Sand City with Shukaku.

As soon as Shukaku's massive figure disappeared from sight, the daimyo's face darkened.

"Lord Daimyo, are you alright? Shall I have a medical ninja examine you?"

"Hmph!" The daimyo finally had an outlet for his pent-up anger, and he pointed at the guard leader's nose and began to hurl insults.

"How do you perform your duties as guards?"

"You know I almost died?"

Do you understand how humiliated I just suffered?

""

"If this news gets out, the names of other major powers will laugh at me for the rest of their lives, you understand?"

"I'm so sorry!" The guard leader hurriedly bowed deeply, burying his head in the ground, and swore, "My lord, please give me a chance to atone for my sins."

"I'm willing to lead men to hunt down that Uchiha An. Even if it costs me my life, I will make him pay a heavy price. I will never let His Highness the Daimyo suffer such humiliation in vain!"

Daming's expression changed several times. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided that his life was more important than his dignity.

So he jumped up and down, yelling, "Bastard!"

"I finally managed to fool him and save the entire city. Now you want to provoke him again? Do you want all my sacrifices to be wasted?"

"I'm so sorry!" The guard leader was so frightened that he didn't dare to lift his head, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.

After venting his anger, the lord finally calmed down and turned to walk towards his palace. But after only a few steps, he found that the land in front of him was flat and all the buildings had been swept away.

Limbs and torsos were everywhere, and intestines and stomachs were scattered all over the place.

In the distance, only a huge crater remains; even the original oasis lake has vanished.

His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but gag, but he felt more fear than anything else.

If the Tailed Beast Ball had been slightly off to this side, he would be one of the many corpses in front of him now.

After catching his breath, he finally made a decision. He waved his hand and summoned a surviving trusted aide, instructing, "Send someone to the elders of Sunagakure right now and tell them that we don't need Rasa anymore; let him die!"

"The Land of Fire will never forget the insult inflicted upon the Land of Wind. We hereby order the Sand Village to immediately launch an attack on the Leaf Village and fight for the dignity of the Land of Wind!"

"No withdrawal of troops, no peace talks, without my orders!"

"I will allocate more war supplies to them later."

"Uh—" Even his confidant was dumbfounded. He looked around and whispered, "Your Highness, Wind Sand City is severely damaged, and supplies may be insufficient! Launching a war at this time—"

"Alright, you don't need to worry about the supplies." The daimyo waved his hand impatiently. "Just plunder those lowly people; there'll always be some surplus. Just do as I say!"

Seeing that the daimyo had made up his mind, the confidant dared not say anything more and could only bow and agree, "Yes, I understand."

"Also, about the One-Tailed Beast, just say—say that I lent it to Uchiha An on the condition that he help attack Konoha. He'll return it after Konoha is destroyed. Yes, just tell the people of Sunagakure that, and tell them to stop trying to seal the One-Tailed Beast."

"Okay, I understand." This time, his confidant truly understood. Without asking any unnecessary questions, he immediately set off from Wind Sand City to deliver the order to Sand Village.

After seeing off his trusted confidants, the daimyo found a slightly better room to sit down, chased all the outsiders out of the room, and sat there alone, his expression unpredictable.

It was all just a stopgap measure.

A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall!

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses!

Those who understand the times are wise!

After finding a million reasons for himself, he finally began to think about how to kill Uchiha An without implicating himself.

We must make that damned Uchiha find out.

A great name must not be dishonored!
