(A/N: Thank you for 3 power stones Alexbabyyahoo! However, you don't need to waste enough power stones, brother. I am just enjoying my time writing so here are the 3 chapters I stacked and wrote! Thanks once again and enjoy reading! XDD!)
"HAHAHAHA! These idiot zealots here in the north were the real scenery! A bunch of old fucks faithful serving a tree?! A goddamn tree?! What pathetic existence!"
The man laughed wildly as he sat on top of a pile of corpses and mangled bones scattered across the field of red, a nauseous and horrifying scene done by a black-dressed man, soaked in blood and dripping in his hands.
"Seimei! When should we see that fucking bastard and his flock of birds in that town? I am done with these fanatical fools serving a tree! I have been waiting for this for months now and those baldy-ass monks better be ready for our showdown!"
The man was rambling but he didn't have anyone to talk to until a man in white stepped through the blood-drenched ground in disgust, looking at the man at the top in incredulous expression.
"Let me finish my plans, Shin. I am also in his waiting line to kill him! Yoichi Murakami was powerful enough to defeat both of us but he decided to let us leave and I will make sure he will undoubtedly regret this decision..."
Both Seimei and Shin scoured through the lands while Ananada and Chaiya targeted and stalked them like prey in the predator's territory but in each encounter, both of these criminals managed to get out of the monks' nets as they proceeded to kill and sacrifice each town they visited for 3 months.
In the end, Chaiya went back without any success since his land, the islands was on the brink of commercial destruction and onslaught due to the unruly bandits and organizations aiming for the sailors and merchant ships, a true wealth of the sea.
"Then, what's the plan? Surely you have successfully polished your craft, it's been 3 months!" Shin glared at Seimei with an irritated and impatient attitude skyrocketed.
The man who disabled his right hand was still living in peace while he, Shin, was always in precarious circumstances and didn't even have the guts to rest until the bastard recovered his right hand and ultimately killed Yoichi Murakami in the end.
"All of those associations and bandit coalitions were itching to take the pie and share it conditionally but now they have decided to band together... with selfish interest in mind, of course. They are gonna be our main fighters in the frontline while we are going to kill his family in the dark!"
Both of their eyes gleamed in excitement, the plan must be initiated immediately as an element of surprise would shake the town's perception of safety and protection.
"Then what should we do? The more we let their prosperous town thrive, the more its strength eventually increases!... Sure, your plan has a failsafe but I'm certain there is more to this, right?" Shin was worried about the potential of the town, it was undeniably much more people than any town like the capital city of the past.
"That's why I controlled their men's souls to further elevate the greed inside these brutes! I am putting enough firewood to strengthen their fire within and it will not take too long to take the bait..." Seimei smiled as his plans were on set, ready to blow up the fuse and prepare the grand fireworks.
"In three days, this union will gather together and strike in the town. We will meet up there and talk about our sneaky assassination. If we played our cards right, we could kill them including Yoichi Murakami! So be patient and do not make any rash decisions, understand?" Seimei added and looked at Shin intensely, doubting the immortal guy due to his brash and troublemaker characteristics.
"I will be there, do not worry! I can't wait to behead that bastard and kill his family in his own eyes!" Shin was excited but restrained his killing intent from further spread.
Seimei left the ground and began developing his shikigami even more refined and powerful in each succession of research.
Then, Shin also left the field and excitedly washed his stinky iron smell from the blood earlier.

"What a bunch of fools, these two crazy individuals were quite smart but they didn't even have the self-preservation mechanism! Using the same clothes for 3 months? Are both of them fucking retarded or what?!" Yoichi muttered as he held his 2 daughters in his arms, shaking them delicately.
He heard their plans and those ambitious alliances of the uncontrollable ants with ease due to his implanted seals on both Shin's and Seimei's clothing. But Yoichi overestimated them, the guys didn't have cautiousness or an ounce of vigilance.
His marker was a technique called [Thousand Miles Sense] and it was a formulation devised through the use of his unending supply of Chakra-Ki and sealing fundamentals.
Based on the technique, it could hear, see, and sense their location due to the spiritual essence of his Spirit Nurturing Stage which could sense the marked individuals from faraway lands. These marks were transparent and unable to be sensed by those who even had a chakra or sage energy.
It was inspired by the Flying Thunder God which was usable and flexible even far away distances.
If someone could teleport on a seal formula, then what about hearing their marked victims?
"Who are the bunch of fools, huh? Maybe we should beat up your ass before saying those words in front of my daughter, Daddy?!" Maki's fist joints crackled as her anger was insurmountable.
She only heard his first words in his mumbling but Maki misunderstood the situation, thinking that Yoichi was scolding their daughters in front of her.
"Wait, wait, wait! I will explain, alright?! Those bunch of fools I am talking about were Shin and Seimei! The crazy duo! I heard them talking from far away due to my technique and I swear they had much more sinister plans in our town!"
Yoichi panicked and wrapped up the latest news about their upcoming disaster in the town and its citizens. Hearing this, Maki stopped and looked at her husband's genuine expression.
"Relay the information to our family and command the guards immediately! It will be a massive cleanup in 3 days..."
After that, Maki grew serious and nodded, calling their family for an urgent meeting as Yoichi sighed in relief and went into the crib of his beautiful daughters and son.
"My cute little children... Although your mothers are a little bit busy, we all love you..."
He went from a gentle and caring expression to amusing and excited emotions as Yoichi left the children and went into the meeting with haste.
->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->
"How many soldiers do we have?"
The rest of the clan made a meeting with the excellent warriors and other helpers at hand to be nurtured as successors of the town.
"Yoichi, based on our estimations, we have over 10,000 soldiers, trained and ready to fight along with our clan. However, we don't know the vague amount of enemies in the vicinity. These unruly bastards outside were accumulating their cannon fodders and innocent adults as a frontline against our experienced veterans but we are ready!"
Yuki summed up her calculation as a military leader in charge of the fighting power and overall safety of the town.
"But if we all assigned our 10,000 troops to the frontline, no one could protect us in the blindspots of the town! Maybe we could reduce the number of warriors on the battlefield and evenly distribute them for the long run..." One of the warrior's elders stated his worries as the bantering of other people buzzed like bees in the forest.
"That's enough. I have a plan in mind and it will completely surprise our adversaries! I will tell you all the plans if you are ready..." Yoichi crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
Divisions and ideals were always gonna be a major factor in governing a town since these old guys have their interests in mind. They are raking reputation and praise from the common people due to their long-standing prominence and wisdom but once the battle starts, these guys would simply do anything to survive and live their lives.
After hearing him, the high-ranking people gradually became silent and nodded at Yoichi.
They knew Yoichi's reputation as the clan leader of the Murakami Clan, that's all they knew but this gentle and compassionate figure was the one thing they couldn't push or trigger. They don't want to see Yoichi become cruel and merciless unless they want to be the Tokugawa Clan of the past, ruthlessly killed without leaving any survivors.
"Have you all calmed down? Great! Then I will start with the plan. I know their gathering place and we could surprise them with a solid attack right through the heart. I could shorten the distance and launch an attack directly! These unscrupulous bandits and organizations alike would be at odds with each other since their interests were on the result itself, not the casualties and upcoming fight. In 3 days, we will sneak an assault with all of you here, did you understand?!"
Yoichi planned to teleport and launch an attack straightforwardly without the spies or information broker knowing the plan. With his clan's overwhelming and mysterious abilities, it would be quite easy but his thoughts were to stimulate the new warriors into blood-bathed warriors with enough experience to prove themselves.
Therefore, the council nodded thoughtfully at his plans. It would completely demolish the enemy's morale and with Yoichi's supervision of the fight, they are entirely safe against the powerful individuals outside of the town.
'Hehehe, I will let these old parasites die from the battle. Let them enjoy their last remaining time as a warrior, not a leech! It's time for the young blood to experience how to handle pressure and undergo a fair share of position!'
"Start preparing for the fight! Weapons, armor, mentality, physical strength, and willpower must be ready for the fight. I will have all of you bask in the new era of our glorious victory!" Yoichi left with his speech made them excited about the importance of the upcoming fight.
All of them prepared and organized each clan of their elite warriors and exceptional warriors.
"You are pretty...ruthless, no?" Maki and the others followed suit with Yoichi, knowing his smile.
"Hahaha, it's time for their last dance. Ending their lives on the battlefield was of great merit and honorable death. Each of these clan elders enjoyed their position and control in the oppressive state of their clans. I am doing them a favor, you know?" Yoichi threw an innocent look while his wives rolled their eyes and went on the way back to the house.
The rest were excited since it was not practical training, it was a battlefield with bloodshed.
They were looking forward and optimistic.
