Chapter 258: The Furious Kuroda Taro (Part 1)

Chapter 258: The Furious Kuroda Taro

Japan, Hokkaido.

Although the headquarters of the "Iga Clan" ninja organization was located in the mountains on the outskirts, the commotion from the explosions in the mountains was simply too great, alarming many people.

The "Hengdao School," controlled by the "Kuroda Family," is a top-tier power in Japan. Before "Musashi" led a hundred-man squad to march on the "Iga Clan" ninja organization's headquarters, he had already notified the police.

The police originally would not have interfered in this matter because Musashi and his men intended to carry it out quietly. To ordinary people, ninja organizations are inherently mysterious; most people did not know that this mountain in the outskirts of Hokkaido was the headquarters of the "Iga Clan," and even if something happened in these outskirts, no one would pay attention.

However, the series of explosions was simply too earth-shattering, forcing the police to take action. If they did not go to the scene, they would certainly be held accountable by their superiors, and at that point, they wouldn't even be able to keep their jobs.

By the time the police arrived, the mountain where the "Iga Clan" headquarters was located had already turned into a sea of flames.

When the explosions ceased and the fire was extinguished, only one hundred corpses remained in the mountains.

The clothes on these corpses had long since been burned away, and their bodies were even charred, making them unrecognizable.

The officer leading the team was a short, stout policeman. Seeing these corpses left behind after the fire, he felt a lingering fear.

"The people from the 'Kuroda Family' really don't understand the rules. Even though you notified me, there was no need to make such a big scene. With explosions of such magnitude and duration, the entire country of Japan probably knows about it by now. Since that's the case, why even bother calling to notify me?"

The stout officer said with great dissatisfaction; he felt that the people from the 'Kuroda Family' simply did not take him seriously at all.

"Sir, how should we handle this matter?"

A tall policeman behind the stout officer asked. Seeing the corpses scattered all over the mountain, he also felt that this matter would be difficult to handle.

"With so many people dead, this is not something that you or I can suppress. I have no choice but to call the current Clan Chief of the 'Kuroda Family,' 'Kuroda Taro.'"

The stout officer sighed.

Encountering such a situation, he also found it extremely thorny. Once the media learned that one hundred people had died in this massive explosion, they would certainly suspect that the incident involved murder and a grand conspiracy, and at that point, they would publicize it extensively and investigate the truth.

Paper cannot wrap up fire; the truth would be discovered sooner or later. By then, the police would face immense pressure, so he was unwilling to shoulder such a ticking time bomb.

"It seems that's the only way."

The tall policeman said. It seemed he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the 'Kuroda Family's' actions, but he could only be dissatisfied. The 'Kuroda Family' was not just the controller of the 'Hengdao School,' but also possessed immense economic power and connections.

…

Subsequently, the stout officer made a call to Kuroda Taro.

"What? You're saying that a massive explosion occurred at the 'Iga Clan' ninja organization's headquarters, burning many people to death?" Kuroda Taro was very surprised after receiving the call.

At this moment, he had absolutely no idea that Musashi's operation had already failed and that Musashi and his men had been completely wiped out. He still thought that Musashi had adopted a very violent and flashy method to destroy the 'Iga Clan' ninja organization's headquarters.

Before Musashi's operation, he had given instructions for Musashi to treat this operation as top secret, ensuring that no one from the 'Iga Clan' headquarters could leak information, and that no one else would know that the 'Kuroda Family' had raided the 'Iga Clan' headquarters and carried out a massacre.

Therefore, he felt that Musashi had not handled the task well this time.

So, after hanging up the phone with the stout officer, Kuroda Taro immediately called Musashi. He wanted to question why Musashi had made such a big scene while completing this task with so many people.

However, Musashi's phone was surprisingly in a state of being unable to connect.

"This Musashi is my son's trusted aide. He was eager to avenge my son, and I thought he was a reliable person, but I didn't expect him to be such a troublemaker."

Kuroda Taro thought to himself: "This guy probably knows he made a mistake and is now not even answering my calls. Not answering my calls is an extremely egregious act. Even if such a person is loyal to my son, they cannot be kept."

Kuroda Taro developed an intent to kill Musashi.

Subsequently, he called Musashi's deputy from this operation, but this person's phone was also unreachable.

He realized something was wrong. He called several subordinates in succession. Although the hundred-man team Musashi brought did not contain core members or top experts of the 'Kuroda Family,' he still had quite a few trusted aides among them.

Without exception, the phones of these trusted aides were all unreachable.

"Those bastards from the 'Iga Clan,' they actually used a tactic of mutual destruction? They perished together with Musashi and the others."

Kuroda Taro realized that something had happened, but he also realized that the people from the 'Iga Clan,' under the instruction of Yamamoto Yuki, had long since planted countless bombs at their headquarters, waiting for his men to take the bait.

To confirm whether Musashi and the others had truly died at the 'Iga Clan' ninja organization's headquarters, Kuroda Taro immediately dispatched a trusted expert to the 'Iga Clan' ninja headquarters to investigate.

This expert, named Kuroda Zeyu, was Kuroda Toshio's cousin and also an expert of the younger generation of the 'Kuroda Family,' possessing the cultivation of an Early Stage Martial Arts Grandmaster.

More than an hour later, he had investigated the situation clearly.

"Sect Master, Musashi and the others are all dead." In a secret room, Kuroda Zeyu reported the situation he had investigated to Kuroda Taro.

"That trash Musashi, he actually allowed himself to be taken out in a mutual destruction by the old, weak, sick, and disabled of the 'Iga Clan'?"

Kuroda Taro roared in anger. Ever since his son, Kuroda Toshio, had his martial arts crippled, his mood and temper had been worsening day by day.

"Sect Master, it was because the 'Iga Clan' had planted explosives long ago. Apart from a few lookouts who lured Musashi and his men into the trap, the 'Iga Clan' didn't suffer much loss. Their people had all retreated before Musashi led his men to raid their headquarters."

Kuroda Zeyu said.

"What?"

Kuroda Taro was even more furious. One hundred of his subordinates had died, and it turned out to be this kind of result.

"Sect Master, I estimate that this was a vicious scheme set by Yamamoto Yuki long ago. She even abandoned her headquarters, which shows that this woman does not fear our 'Kuroda Family' at all."

Kuroda Zeyu said.

"Yamamoto Yuki, once I free up my hands, I will personally go to China and kill you, woman!"

Kuroda Taro said with a gloomy expression.

"Sect Master, do you want me to go?" Kuroda Zeyu asked.

"Your strength is about the same as my son, Kuroda Toshio. My son had his martial arts crippled, and I don't want you to meet with any accidents either." Kuroda Taro said, "You may go for now. I will handle these matters myself."

Soon, Kuroda Zeyu left.

Meanwhile, Kuroda Taro went to another secret room.

Inside the other secret room, on a large bed, lay a man who was like a vegetable. This person was none other than Kuroda Taro's son, Kuroda Toshio, whose injuries had shown no signs of improvement at this time.
