Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 97 Fireworks
Although the masked man looked down on Zhushan Ryo for betraying his lord so quickly, it didn't affect his rules of doing things.After receiving the information, he said: "I hope what you said is true. As for the follow-up arrangements and rewards for the information, I will inform you when you return tomorrow."

"I see." Zhushan Ryo was very confident in his information, after all, it was the result of his hard work this week.

After giving him the antidote from Zhushan Ryo's mother, the masked man disappeared into the woods.

It was already night when Hirano got the information, and the Anbu samurai had been monitoring him more closely recently.Based on Hirano's perception of danger and analysis of intelligence, it is estimated that Mifune will be able to catch him in the near future.

"However, I don't need so much time." Hirano smiled, and opened the thick stack of information in his hand.

After seeing the content recorded in the information, Hirano also raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't expect this kid at the end of the crane to have this kind of talent. Unfortunately, if it was before, I would try to train him." .”

If it is a normal family, this information about smelting in the workshop is probably of great value. Whether it is trying to research or using it for trading, you can get a lot of money, "But this is of little use to me. It can be used as a bargaining chip." Hirano sighed in his heart.

"I heard that this brat was driven by Tokugawa Yukimura to work as a coolie in the mine. He didn't expose it." Hirano turned his head and asked.

"No," the attendant replied, "he just made a mistake and was punished as a coolie for half a month."

"Is that so, then he will stay in the mine for another week?" Hirano thought, "Then give him the things you have collected recently, let him look for opportunities, and add them to the furnace at once."

"Patriarch, this...?" The attendant was startled, but he knew how dangerous that thing was.

"Why, you want to disobey our orders?" Hirano said, staring at him coldly.

The attendant was so frightened that he half-kneeled on the ground and replied, "I'll do it right away, Patriarch." Although he was worried, his loyalty to the family made him resolutely carry out the tasks assigned him.

Hirano nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Let's sort out this information again, copy a dozen copies, and it will come in handy soon."

Near the Hirano family's mansion, at a commanding height, Sakamoto Shinsuke quietly appeared and asked, "What's different about the Hirano family? Are there any unusual people coming in and out?"

The samurai who performed the monitoring mission here replied: "I haven't found it yet. Their family only has normal communication, and no suspicious people have been found."

"Well," Shinsuke Sakamoto nodded, and ordered: "Starting from today, we will increase the intensity of surveillance. We have obtained accurate information. Their family is the mastermind who colluded with foreign ninja forces last time and intends to rebel. Keep an eye on them." , don’t let them run away early.”

Shinsuke Sakamoto looked at the secluded mansion of the Hirano family. Over the past few months, as one of the persons in charge of investigating the mastermind of the incident at that time, he searched for many clues, and finally found useful information from the trade team.

The investigation revealed that the Hirano family not only embezzled money through the trade that the Iron Country had with him, but also used the trade team to cover strangers entering the Iron Country. Those people disappeared in the end. These strangers are probably the ninjas in those bases.

"The arrest application can be submitted after the last point is found out. I hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible." Shinsuke Sakamoto thought in his heart.

The next day, Zhushan Ryo, who was waiting for the news, also got what he wanted. Hirano generously gave him ten secret medicines, but only once, the other party had other tasks besides collecting information.

"What is this?" Ryo Zhushan asked, looking at several fist-sized black objects in the bag handed to him by the other party.

"This is black crystal, your task this time is to add it to the smelting furnace while people are not paying attention." The masked man replied.

"No, I will be discovered." Zhushan Ryo also thought of the risk and refused decisively.

The masked man sneered and said: "Do you think you have the room to refuse? Our things are so easy to get? Not to mention that your mother is still in our hands, it is your behavior last time, Tokugawa Yukimura will let it go after knowing you?"

Zhu Shanliang's face was gloomy. He knew that what the other party said was the truth, and he couldn't refuse it from that day on.

"Don't worry, this black crystal is similar to iron ore. It only makes the smelted steel weak. Even if they find it, they will think it is a technical problem of smelting, and they will not suspect you." The masked man said .

"Okay, I'm done." Zhu Shanliang gritted his teeth and took the bag, then turned and walked towards the camp.

"Of course the role of black spar is as I said, but it's just a bursting rock, which will only make the fireworks more intense." The masked man thought looking at Zhu Shanliang's back.

On the night of arriving at the camp, Zhu Shanliang couldn't help but take a secret medicine, and then the carefree and comfortable feeling wrapped him up for a long time, making him feel that his deal was indeed correct.

On the second day, Zhushan Ryo, who pretended to be nonchalant, packed his things as usual, and joined the team going to work in the mine.In order to prevent others from discovering what he was carrying, he carefully disguised the black crystals in the bread for lunch. It has to be said that compared with ninjas, samurai are much worse in stealth, and there are not many nearby samurai. To investigate, let Zhushan Ryo sneak in smoothly.

The appearance of the explosive rock is similar to that of iron ore, and Zhu Shanliang's job this day is to transport the raw materials to the iron smelting blast furnace. This kind of innate advantage gives him sufficient conditions to complete his task.

Zhushan Ryo could feel his beating heart, and his face was a little red because of nervousness. Fortunately, the high temperature near the blast furnace made everyone's faces look similar, so he was not noticed.

Looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to him, Zhu Shanliang quickly mixed the explosive rock with the ore and threw it into the hot blast furnace.It's that simple?Zhu Shanliang couldn't believe it, it would be a bargain if he could get a good reward just by doing these things.

But before Zhushan Ryo could finish laughing, the endless light and heat brought by the explosion overwhelmed him.The explosive rock in the blast furnace encountered a high temperature enough to melt it, and immediately exploded violently. The huge power set off a pillar of fire, and the flames that sprang up could be seen in distant villages.

"Hey, what a beautiful fireworks." Standing in the courtyard, Hirano looked in the direction of the workshop and said with emotion.
