Chapter 377: Missing
After Musashi was done with the minister, he went back to find Jūzō Biwa, who disguised himself as the minister.
Later, the two of them left the minister's residence and headed to the residence of their other target, the Daimyo.
According to the agreement, they might leave now that they had already completed their task, and the Daimyo's men would give them the money.
Even though he was a Daimyo, he had to abide by the rules and pay, or else he would make an enemy out of various organizations.
However, Akatsuki's goal was not just the money. Their main objective was to establish a cooperative relationship with the Daimyo and monopolize shinobi missions in the Land of Rice Fields.
At this moment, the Daimyo was enjoying a lavish dinner.
On a massive round table were dozens of delicious freshly-made dishes.
Since there were so many dishes, it was impossible for the Daimyo to finish all the dishes. He would only take a few bites of each, perhaps a few more if a dish was exceptionally delicious.
Moreover, the Daimyo never took the first bite of a dish; someone else had to poison-tasted before he touched it with his chopsticks.
He was a cautious person, despite his high position and control over the military power in the Land of Rice Fields. He never showed any negligence and left no room for vulnerabilities.
If there was even a hint of danger, the Daimyo would go to great lengths to eliminate it.
