Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 66 Rumors
Riding on the snow wolf, looking at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides, feeling the cool wind blowing in front of him, Tokugawa Yukimura felt unprecedented joy. The man really still longed for speed and passion in his heart.

With the environment-friendly and fast means of transportation, the next journey seems to be an outing. Even if Tokugawa Yukimura didn't make a special trip, stop and go, but he almost finished the three-day journey in one and a half days.

When he got close to Sanlang Mountain, Tokugawa Yukimura lifted the psychic technique.Bringing such a huge snow wolf into the village would not only cause commotion, but also the risk of exposing oneself to ninjutsu, which had to be considered.

But when Tokugawa Yukimura entered the village, he discovered that something was wrong.

The shopkeeper who usually greeted him when he saw him was unconsciously stunned, and then greeted him stiffly, and when talking to him, he would look away from time to time, not daring to look at him.

Full of doubts, Tokugawa Yukimura quickened his pace and rushed to his home.He had sent the task report to the castle tower in the form of a letter before, so there was no need to report it.

But on the way home, with his increasingly keen hearing, he also caught a few words from the pointing crowd, such as "samurai rebellion", "evasion", "coward" and other words to describe it.

Back home, Tokugawa Yukimura's face was gloomy.As expected, Mifune handles government affairs in the castle tower, and only servants are at home.

"Go, go to Pingqing's house and invite Brother Pingqing Yoshiden." Tokugawa Yukimura turned his head and told the attendant on the side.

At this moment, he had calmed down, understanding the current situation was the most important thing, and getting angry indiscriminately would not help, but would make things worse.And Tokugawa Yukimura also wanted to understand that the matter hadn't gotten out of hand, at most it was just that his learning ninjutsu had been exposed.

"Master, you are back." Rina Sawajo came to greet him with a smile when she heard the news of Tokugawa Yukimura's return, but she suddenly thought of something and asked cautiously, "Are you all right, Master."

It was funny for Tokugawa Yukimura to see how she was afraid of irritating him.On a sudden whim, he hugged Rina into his arms and said softly, "Of course I'm fine, and I'm back, Rina."

"Master, master, what are you doing?" Rina Sawajo's body stiffened, her little face turned red suddenly, and then shyly pushed Tokugawa Yukimura away, "I'm going to help prepare lunch."

Looking at Rina who ran away in a hurry, Tokugawa Yukimura no longer had the depression before, and laughed out loud.

At this time, the Hirakiyo brothers who had been invited also hurried over, but Tokugawa Yukimura, who they thought was angry, was laughing with his arms akimbo. The two looked at each other, Hirakiyoshi whispered to his brother Said: "What's the matter, Yukimura won't be mad?"

Before Hirakiyoshi could answer, Tokugawa Yukimura, who noticed the two of them coming, also put away his smile. He walked up to the two of them and gave Hirakiyoshi a chestnut, and then greeted Hirakiyoshi, "It's been a long time No see, Jiding."

Here, Kiyoshi Pingqing also bowed in return: "Long time no see, Mr. Yukimura."

Hirakiyo Jikang, who was thrown aside, touched the bag on his head, and said loudly in dissatisfaction: "Hey, you two, don't ignore me, and, Yukimura, when did you learn to hit me on the head like this guy! "

"Ah, sorry, my hand slipped." Tokugawa Yukimura said, but there was no apology in his tone.

After a noisy greeting, the three of them saw and eliminated a little estrangement that had arisen from not seeing each other for a long time.

"Cough, then, I've already said hello, and now it's time to get down to business." Tokugawa Yukimura said with a straight face, "You two have been in the village all this time, so tell me what happened."

The Pingqing brothers looked at each other. Pingqing Jikang had never seen Tokugawa Yukimura with such a terrifying face. He swallowed and said, "It's nothing, Yukimura, it's just that something bad for you suddenly appeared in the village these days." Rumors, and somehow, spread quickly."

"Oh? What kind of rumor is it?" Although he had expected it, Tokugawa Yukimura did not expect that someone would use such a method, and murderous intent spread in his dark pupils, "What is the content of the rumor?"

"There are rumors that Yukimura-sama abandoned the glory of the samurai and fell into the arms of the ninja after he came back from Konoha Village." Seeing his younger brother's unbearable look, Hirakiyoshi Ding added, "And they took out your contact ninjutsu The evidence is the photo of the training ground."

"Hmph, it's a nonsense that can be easily broken, what bargaining chip does Konoha Village have so I can go for refuge?" Tokugawa Yukimura snorted coldly, "Have you found out who first released the rumor?"

Pingqing Jiding shook his head and said: "Father has also investigated, and the hands and feet of the other party are very clean. In the end, we can only find out that it was first reported from the aristocratic area, near the Sakamoto clan. There is not enough evidence yet."

"Sakamoto?" Tokugawa Yukimura frowned, thinking of the senior brother who declared that he would oppose him, but shook his head again, "It's not like they did it, if it was Brother Jinsuke, he would come to me with a knife and beat me up A meal is possible, but he won't use such a shady method."

"Maybe it's that old bastard in Rika Sakamoto, he always dislikes us." Pingqing Jikang jumped out and said unconvinced.

Tokugawa Yukimura also thought of Satoka Sakamoto, who didn't give himself face in the castle tower, but felt that such an old and cunning guy would never be exposed so easily. If he did it, it would not be like this with a knife The investigation found the head of the Sakamoto clan.

However, this also reminded me of the assassination I encountered when I first came to this world. I thought that those people would be wiped out by Mifune after that failure, but judging from the current situation, if it was their handwriting again, So it means they hide very deeply.

"That's fine. If you keep hiding, then I still have a headache. Since you have jumped out to stir up trouble this time, then let's settle the score together last time." Tokugawa Yukimura said with a serious look. Pass.

"What's the situation with the castle tower, did you explain your attitude?" Tokugawa Yukimura asked.

"No, except for the necessary investigation, there is no clear statement." Pingqing Jiding replied. , "It's strange to say that those adults shouldn't be so indifferent."

"No attitude is the best attitude. This is asking us to solve it by ourselves. I thought it would take some time to accumulate. If so, let's start planning in advance." The corner of Tokugawa Yukimura's mouth rose, and he should also take the step to change the world. Towards the pace.
