Krypton life in Konoha's dream

Spring is cold and steep, with northwest winds sometimes.

But Takeda Castle was not affected by this spring cold at all. The city was very lively. Even if the city lord led the army to march westward, there were still a large number of samurai living happily in the city.

Takeda Castle is an important town in the eastern part of the Iron Kingdom and has been so for hundreds of years.

Not only because of the geographical location of Takeda Castle, but also because the lord of Takeda Castle is a hereditary family.

During the Warring States Period, the only country that could be called the Iron Country was the Iron Country. The rest of the country was dominated by ninja clans fighting each other and nobles enjoying their fortunes. There was no such thing as the Fire Country or the Wind Country, and the Iron Country had always been under the rule of the samurai family. So it has always been one country.

However, the Iron Kingdom, a palm-sized territory, had been experiencing civil strife for a long time. At that time, the Iron Kingdom had generals taking turns. The Takeda family once produced an Iron Kingdom general, Takeda Shingen, during that period.

Although Takeda Shingen did not sit for long before he was overthrown and suffered a tragic defeat. The Matsudaira family has been in power for hundreds of years until now. But at that time, Matsudaira Ieyasu, the first Iron Country general of the Matsudaira family, was afraid that the Takeda family would be defeated. The two families compromised with each other, and Takeda City was regarded as a fiefdom for the Takeda family. Therefore, the Takeda family had taken root in Takeda City for hundreds of years and became unprecedentedly powerful.

Takeda Castle, like Matsudaira Castle, is the only hereditary place.As for the remaining castles, the names will differ according to the surname of the castle lord. Therefore, Oda Castle was not called Oda Castle. It was just because the surname of Oda Teizumi, the castle lord who took office a year ago, was Oda, so it was renamed Oda Castle.

Hereditary city lords like Takeda Castle have not existed in the past. Even when Matsudaira Ieyasu became the general of the Iron Kingdom, all the cities in the entire Iron Kingdom had been hereditary for several generations.However, not every family produces swordsmen from generation to generation like the Takeda family, so during the reign of Matsudaira Ieyasu, the grandson of Matsudaira Iemitsu, many castle lord families were found to have a reason to get rid of them.

Only Takeda Castle has always been named Takeda.

Guaping learned the news from Uzumaki, and he began to pay more and more attention to Takeda City.

The Takeda family is not simple.

He had previously known that the lord of Oda Castle he had killed was named Oda Teizumi, and he still looked down upon Takeda Castle that he was about to attack, because judging from historical stories, the Oda family was much more powerful than the Takeda family.But the Oda family was not able to hereditarily inherit the castle lord, but the Takeda family did it, which is very strange.

Especially after he asked the second-generation Uzumaki the reason again, he was even more surprised.

It turns out that the once famous Oda family had been wiped out hundreds of years ago. It was considered one of the more miserable families of the generals during the Iron Kingdom's melee. In later generations, all those with the surname Oda were given the surname.For example, Oda Toizumi was born as a commoner in Songping City. He relied on his talent to achieve a class leap. From a commoner to an executioner who massacred civilians, not long after receiving the title of Sword Master, Matsudaira Kexi appointed him as the city lord. Due to his background, he could not The surname is just Oda who was given the surname.

The reason why the Oda family is said to be one of the more miserable is because it is not only the Oda family that has been destroyed, but also many families, such as the Kinoshita Tokichiro family and so on.

To be honest, Guaping had never heard of these secrets before. If the Kingdom of Whirlpool wasn't close here, and he was wary of the two great kingdoms of Thunder and Water, he was also wary of the Kingdom of Iron. He had been collecting intelligence, and Guaping really wouldn't have heard of it. will know this.

It also has something to do with his country of unyielding iron.After all, the Iron Country is only a palm-sized place, and no matter how much commotion there is, it is still a second-rate armed force in the eyes of Konoha. It can be easily destroyed under the pressure of a large army. If it were not the center of the Fire Country, the center of the four battles, the East The four directions of , west, north and northwest are controlled by first-class armed forces. The Iron Kingdom, which has no aristocratic system, has long been included in the territory of the Fire Kingdom.

"So, in addition to the city lord, there will be other sword masters in Takeda City, right? Rather than being concentrated in the capital Songping City like other places,"

"Yes, as far as I know, the eldest son of the current lord of Takeda City has already completed the killing of a hundred people, and there may be other strong men. Moreover, the Takeda family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not a matter of giving a surname like Oda Teizumi. The newly promoted swordsman is comparable, and I infer that Takeda Mokichi, the eldest son of Takeda Castle Lord, also has the strength to easily defeat Oda Teizumi."

"Well, if the so-called sword masters of the Iron Country and the jounin among us ninjas can win or lose each other, then Takeda Mogi is almost considered an elite among the jounin. Counting other sword masters who may be left behind, Takeda Castle is indeed a Tough bones."

Uzumaki smiled: "Actually, it's normal. After all, Takeda City borders the Land of Fire. If the Takeda family didn't have the strength to suppress the situation, the Matsudaira family wouldn't have given them such an important city."

"Then I'm afraid it will be a tough battle. After all, the children are the backbone of Konoha's future. I still don't trust them to die. I can easily defeat Takeda Mogi. If there are other sword masters, please ask Uzumaki. My lord."

"Yes, yes, there are five Jonin among the people I am leading this time. If we cooperate with you and me, capturing Takeda Castle will not be a problem, but it would be better if the battle damage is less. Minister Danzo needs to work more hard. , it would be best if we could achieve a complete victory like last year’s battle to defend the East China Sea.”

"It should be, it should be. After all, what we want is not just Takeda Castle. The six cities behind us have to deal with Matsudaira Keki's elite or Funakoshi Mifune's rebels. Our East China Sea garrison in Konoha actually has limited manpower. , and the battle situation is changing rapidly, and Konoha’s reinforcements may not be able to wait, so how can I be willing to let everyone in the Uzumaki family have trouble, hahaha."

......

The eight-year-old Aburame Ryoma was given an important task: to be a spy and sneak into Takeda Castle.

The manpower is limited, and no one is more suitable than him.

Guaping had thought carefully about it. If someone else sneaked in, something might go wrong when entering the city. After all, there were samurai who escaped from Oda Castle before. The news must have spread to Takeda Castle. In case the samurai guarding the gate made things difficult. ,what to do

Others go, if you are being made difficult for, if you swallow your anger, you may die. If you don't swallow your anger, you will be exposed and you will be exposed. You can't even get in, and a ghost sneaks in.

But Ryoma Aburame was different.

Although he is only an eight-year-old child...

Ryoma arrived outside the gate of Takeda City. He was wearing tattered clothes like a beggar. He hadn't washed his face for two days and his face was covered with dust. He looked very much like a common child in the Iron Kingdom.

Sure enough, Takeda Castle was almost under martial law. Not only were the two guards unexpected as usual, but a team of more than a dozen people were checking the identities of those entering and exiting the city. A three-meter-thick and five-meter-high city wall composed of thick layers of wood filled with soil There is a watchtower erected on it, and there are also many archers inside.

"Child, where are you from?" A guard warrior immediately grabbed Ryoma and asked.

In addition to the habitual arrogance and domineering nature of samurai, it was also because they heard that most of the people who attacked Oda Castle were young ninjas.

"Sir, sir, I, I, am from a farming family outside the city. My parents heard that the war was serious, but they didn't dare to abandon the fields for fear of being punished, so they asked me to come to the city for a while. They said they couldn't leave anything for the family. All kinds of things.”

The samurai was still suspicious, thinking that although the child stuttered when he first spoke, his subsequent words were clear and coherent, not like the reaction a normal child should have. But when he was about to ask again, he found that his whole body was itching unbearably, and he quickly dropped Ryoma and grabbed it. The itch comes.

"Where did these little bugs come from in early spring?" The samurai looked at the bug corpse in his hand and cursed. Then he looked at Ryoma and cursed, "You have lice on your little clay legs, right? Get out of here, it's so dirty." .”

Ryoma apologized and immediately ran into the city.
