Chapter 406: Blood God Ascension

Yako had waited for the arrival of the new night of the full moon.

Inside Tenshu Castle, at the entrance to the Underground Palace beneath the main hall, four servants on each side used iron chains to haul open the heavy stone doors.
The Daimyo took his son by the hand and led him through the stone doorway.
"Father, it's so dark. I'm a little scared. What if there are ninja hiding in the shadows?"
The Daimyo tightened his grip on his son's hand.
The Konoha ninja had claimed that when the Cloud ninja retreated, they had lashed out in anger and massacred people indiscriminately. The Daimyo's close relatives had all been killed, leaving only this youngest son.
He might as well believe it, since it was the Konoha ninja who had said it.
