Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 44 Sakamoto
In the courtyard of the Sakamoto clan in the Iron Country, Sakamoto Shinsuke was doing normal swordsmanship training, but the whistling sound of each knife tearing the air made people feel that he was fighting with the enemy, not practicing alone.

Rikaku Sakamoto appeared not far behind him, and said, "There's no need to do your best in practice. It seems that your heart is not at peace."

"I heard that Yukimura is coming back after completing his mission?" Shinsuke Sakamoto asked instead of answering this question.

"I just came back in the next two days after receiving the news of the knife. However, your brother is really restless, and there has been a lot of trouble in Konoha Village." Sakamoto Satoka said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hmph, Konoha Village, a place where filth gathers. I really don't understand why Yukimura went there to perform his mission." Sakamoto Shinsuke showed obvious disgust in his eyes.

"Who knows, I heard that he took the initiative to participate in this task, maybe the young people want to go out and see more." Sakamoto Satoka seemed to help Tokugawa Yukimura explain.

"When he comes back, I will teach him well what a real warrior is, and the Iron Country is our real ideal land." Shinsuke Sakamoto retracted his sword, and walked away with his sleeves up.

The figure staring at the opponent disappeared from the corner of Sakamoto, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that Your Excellency Jinsuke is also dissatisfied with Young Master Yukimura." A voice came from behind, but Satoshi Sakamoto was not surprised at all, obviously knowing that the other party would come.

"Young master, he can only be called the young master after he gets our approval. What we need is a young master who can truly lead our Iron Kingdom to become stronger and fight against ninjas. He is still far away." Sakamoto Li Jiao was a little disdainful.

"Oh, this was my mistake, but our family and the daimyos all feel that Your Excellency Jinsuke is the best candidate." The visitor opened his fan with a bang, covered his mouth and said with a smile.

"Then I have to thank you for your support for the Sakamoto clan." Satoka Sakamoto replied, "Your Excellency Mifune's military power is superb. Riding on top of our samurai family. If the lord is weak, it's no wonder we're going down."

"We also think so. We always feel that a country without a daimyo is incomplete. When the daimyo will be in charge of politics, and the Sakamoto clan will become generals with military power. This is the future of the Iron Country and it will meet everyone's expectations. The future." The visitor said with greed in his eyes.

"Of course, I hope to see that day come." Sakamoto Satoka nodded in response.

The short meeting between the two parties ended here. After the visitor left, Sakamoto Satoka called the guard from home and asked, "How long will Tokugawa Yukimura be here?"

"It is estimated that I will return to the Iron Country in the afternoon." The visitor replied while kneeling.

"Go down and continue collecting information." Satoshi Sakamoto signaled the other party to back off. He looked at the information on Tokugawa Yukimura practicing ninjutsu in his hand and said, "Jinsuke still has fantasies about his younger brother, so just wait."

However, he thought of the Minister of Finance who had just visited, and snorted coldly: "You idiot, you actually want to use the power of another country's daimyo to plot against the Iron Kingdom, and still want to become a daimyo? I don't know where such an idiot came from." Self-confidence, a general who shares power with the daimyo is not as good as the general who is now monopolizing power, if it is not worth using, I don’t bother to bother.”

The Sakamoto family has a long tradition and is the first family to take root in the Iron Country. Naturally, they also have an intricate network of relationships, otherwise they would not be able to be the leader of the security team.It's just that after General Sanfuan came to power, various policies supported the warriors of the small family, and the strength of a big family like his was naturally severely damaged, otherwise he would not take the risk to push his nephew to that position, and he had no choice but to do so.

Tokugawa Yukimura still doesn't know that the Minister of Finance who assassinated him at the beginning of his journey has already been implicated with the Sakamoto clan, and what he wants to solve now is the immediate trouble.

Returning to the village he hadn't seen for a long time, before he could get excited, he saw Shinsuke Sakamoto standing coldly by the roadside holding a knife from a distance, and the other party had obviously spotted him, which made it difficult for him to run away again. Can bite the bullet and go up to say hello.

"Yo, Brother Jinsuke, what a coincidence, I saw you as soon as I came back." Tokugawa Yukimura said with a smile.

"It's not a coincidence, I was waiting for you." Shinsuke Sakamoto squinted at him, "Is it because you have been avoiding me since I didn't come to look for you?"

"Haha, how is that possible." Tokugawa Yukimura rubbed his head and laughed dryly, "I'm not on a mission."

"Hmph, come with me, this is not the place to talk."

Tokugawa Yukimura followed behind, looking at Sakamoto Shinsuke's back.Judging from his fused memory, the former Tokugawa Yukimura treated him as an older brother.His mother died young, and his father was busy with official duties. This elder brother has always taken good care of him, and he was much younger than him before time travelling. As a respectable person, Tokugawa Yukimura has always felt guilty about his choice, which is why he has always wanted to avoid the other party.

The two came to a small park one after the other, but it was freezing cold and there was no one there.

"Speaking of tasks, you went to Konoha Ninja Village, the place where the most ninjas gather in the world." Under the sharp eyes of Sakamoto Shinsuke, Tokugawa Yukimura felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, together with the captain, there is a question about the handover of Konoha captives." Tokugawa Yukimura couldn't hide it, so he had to answer honestly.

"If you ask me, there is no need to keep the captives at all." Sakamoto Shinsuke said without the slightest emotion, "If you kill all the captives, it won't be so much trouble."

Hearing Sakamoto Shinsuke's speech, Tokugawa Yukimura couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Brother Shinsuke, your speech is too extreme." For the enemy who surrendered, he didn't hesitate to kill him. Also too much.

"I know that many people say that my attitude towards ninjas is too extreme, including the master, but no one has told me in person. Do you think so?" Sakamoto Shinsuke said suddenly.

"Where, it's just that his views are a little more radical." Although Tokugawa Yukimura also felt the same way, he couldn't say it face to face.

"It is true that my hostility towards ninjas has my own personal factors in it," said Shinsuke Sakamoto with a nostalgic look, "but I think staying away from ninjas is the way to survive in the Iron Kingdom."
