[Comprehensive master Naruto] The daimyo of the country of fire is in a panic

In the 26th year of Astronomy, April [-]th, Ear Grain arrived. "Book of Rites of Zhou" says: "Grown from marsh grass, sow the seeds of awn." The sun rises and falls, the summer heat transpires, the mantis grows, the roc begins to sing, and the retort is silent.

On the day of spring and the time of summer, people on the fertile plains begin to be busy with summer harvest, summer planting and spring sowing crops.The "reform experimental fields" circled by the daimyo totaled more than 400 acres of land, of which one-third was paddy fields growing rice, and the remaining two-thirds were dry land growing corn, wheat, etc.

In the drylands, winter wheat sown last fall has matured.Thanks to the abundant rain in March and the bright sunshine in April this year, the wheat ears look plumper and golden than in previous years. The farmers who rented the fields bent over and harvested them quickly and piled them high on the edge of the fields.

After Hashirama finished harvesting a dry field, he squatted beside a pile of unhusked wheat to rest.He flattened the "statistical table" filled with squares with rubbish, took out a long and clattering object and played with it: "... when eight is added, one is added, and when eighty-four is added, five is added... When five cannot be divided, nine is made. five……"

"Sir, please drink some water!" A bowl of water suddenly hit his nose.

Hashirama was concentrating on recalling the formula, and was startled, which was very unbecoming of a ninja: "Uh-huh!"

The waterman was also startled and stuttered even more: "Yes, yes, yes -"

He was "right" for a long time but couldn't say anything else, and his young face, which had been exposed to the weather for a long time, turned red.

He passed the half-empty bowl between the pillars: "Want to give me some water? Thank you -" he compared their heights, "-little brother."

The young farmer smiled honestly and awkwardly, nodded and bowed while retreating, and his ears were unexpectedly pinched by a small hand.It turned out that there was an even more petite woman standing behind him. She scolded in a sharp voice: "What are you doing! You can even give me water! Go away, you motherfucker!"

The young farmer obediently walked aside to collect the wheat sheaves, but his little eyes kept drifting towards the woman and Hashirama.Zhu Zhi took the refilled bowl of water and drank it in one gulp. The woman poured him another bowl with great enthusiasm: "Sir, you helped my family cut more than half of the wheat. We don't have any work to do! You Are you exhausted?"

Hashirama couldn't resist and hurriedly changed the subject: "I use Wind Release, so I'm not tired or tired... Well, you two brothers and sisters have a really good relationship."

The woman was startled: "Sir, you really know how to joke! We are husband and wife!"

She looked up at Hashirama's dull expression and bent over with a smile: "Both of our children will be running all over the floor. Isn't this just for the convenience of work? Let my mother take care of them for two days."

Hashirama looked at the couple who were at most 1.4 meters tall and whose faces were not as mature as Tobirama's: "...how old is your husband this year?"

"Oh, I can't deserve such a compliment from you!" The woman calculated the confusion on her fingers with difficulty, "I was thirteen when I married him, and he was fifteen. I gave birth to a child at fourteen, and the child is one and a half years old this year. , so this year he is..."

Although Hashirama had just come into contact with the abacus not long ago, he had learned arithmetic in family school when he was a child, and he could do such simple addition and subtraction.He remembered the name he had just called the man, and was so embarrassed that he couldn't stay there for a moment, and hurried away on the pretext of helping other people harvest wheat.

Walking on the dirt road, the sound of the plants shaking their leaves in the fields on both sides and the rustling of wheat ears quickly calmed him down. It seemed that in order to echo the harvest season, chakra was running vigorously in his body, even if he was exposed to the sun. Even though he was sweating hotly, he still felt energetic all over.

After passing a row of trees marking the field boundary, Hashirama saw a group of silver hair shining in the sun from a distance.

"Tobirama?" Hashirama came up to him, "What happened? Something went wrong between you and Hiroshi-nii and the others when they dug the ditch? Was it something wrong with the paddy fields that Kanan and Souma were responsible for? Or was it Ranmaru and Masanori-nii's responsibility? Is there something wrong with the cement factory?”

Tobirama finally found an outlet in the series of questions: "——It's not us who started the trouble, it came to the door on its own."

"what?"

Tobirama turned around and ran towards where he came from before opening his mouth to explain. He knew that it would not be difficult to keep up with him at Hashirama's speed. "A horse broke its leg in the ditch we dug. The horse owner and his companions are a group of young warriors. They asked us to compensate."

Sure enough, Hashirama followed closely behind: "The canal is only four or five feet deep, why would the horse break its leg?"

"So it's trouble that brought you here." Tobirama was a little irritated.

After the daimyo discussed with Sakahara and Yamagata, a few days ago all the Senju family ninjas who were responsible for guarding Saga City came to the construction site of the canal to participate in the construction.This time, there was finally a division of labor among the three aspects of earth escape excavation, water escape dredging and wind escape cleanup. The project had just been on the right track of steady progress when something like this happened suddenly.

It looked like the construction work in the afternoon couldn't go on anymore, so he had to recalculate the workload and make a schedule again.

The two of them came to the scene of the crime holding their breath. Witnesses showed that the Senju family ninjas and young samurai were confronting each other. Physical evidence showed that the water channel had almost no changes except for the collapse of a small piece of floating soil. The victim's horse was still stuck on the side of the channel. The horse owner touched its nose distressedly and comforted it.

"Do Lord Kanan and Lord Ranmaru know about this?" Hashirama gestured to the tribesmen to put away their weapons and walked close enough to shout.

Tobirama noticed that several people on the other side were looking at him after hearing this, and he also replied loudly: "I have already sent someone to invite them."

The youngest of this group of warriors is fifteen or sixteen, and the oldest is in his early twenties. They all appear to be the children of some powerful local families. They are flying eagles and horses, wearing gold and silver, and they vaguely respect a man who rides a peach blossom horse.The man could barely be described as handsome, with an air of arrogance between his brows and eyes.He played with the riding crop inlaid with coral beads and looked down at Hashirama: "Are you the leader of this group of ninjas?"

"It's right down there."

"'I'm here'?" The samurai pointed his whip at Hashirama and smiled sarcastically, "What do you think you are?"

Hashirama looked back without any expression: "What's your surname?"

The warrior glanced at him and raised his chin high.The attendant at the back said: "My highness is Kamo Heimiya of the Ise Heimiya family, Mamoru Utsusumi!"

"I have met you, sir." Hashirama saluted casually, "I wonder how this horse was injured?"

The owner of the horse grabbed it and angrily said: "It is surrounded by flat land and overgrown vegetation. Isn't this ditch hidden here deliberately dug to trap the horse? Tell me! How do you want to compensate!"

Tobirama said coldly: "Your Excellency and his entourage destroyed the aqueduct ordered by His Highness Akatsuki to be built. How do you plan to compensate?"

"Zhangcheng Palace? What's your name?" The Lang party disciples exchanged glances with each other and whispered.But Tobirama could clearly see that there was not much fear in his eyes.

When the situation was tense, Canaan and Ranmaru appeared from two different directions almost at the same time, which seemed to bring about a turning point.

"Brother Utsuji," Ranmaru put on a warm smile, and his gray clothes seemed to start to shine, "Why are you here?"

After you have reached a certain level of good looks, invitations are always hard to refuse. Heigong Zongwei was smoothly taken away to reminisce about old times: "Your Majesty gave me half a month's leave from the public school. Let's go out and relax..."

Canaan looked at the surrounding situation and went directly to talk to the horse owner. Senju Hiroshi, who was following behind him, secretly nodded to Hashirama Tobirama.

The fight was definitely not going to break out, and the injured horse had been carried out of the ditch, but the project still couldn't continue.Both sides refused to give in to each other.The sons of the Lang Party think that it is one thing for the daimyo to order the construction of canals, and it is another thing for ninjas to dig ditches randomly. Do they have any problem with only holding ninjas responsible?Although the ninjas are used to swallowing up the local tyrants, the price of a good horse is not a small amount that can be easily swallowed. Moreover, they are now carrying out the tasks assigned by the elders and daimyo of the pen family. The blame is on the lack of foresight of the gangsters. .

"Don't be ridiculous. This horse costs at least a thousand guan. They will definitely not be able to get it. What's the difference between asking a ninja to compensate and asking His Highness to compensate?" Canaan tried his best to argue but it still didn't work, and he couldn't control his impatience.

"Your Majesty and my mother are cousins. Which side are you on?" The horse owner pointed at the ninjas and then at himself.

Tobirama saw that Kanan and Ranmaru's stance was actually on the ninja side - on the side of the daimyo, and they had also contributed to the planning of the canal.However, they are the sons of family elders and members of local forces, but they are only the youngest sons in the lower rankings. Their status internally and externally is far inferior to that of the eldest son. The sons of the Lang Party have no scruples about them.

Negotiations took place among the samurai, and the ninjas soon became speechless.Tobirama suddenly felt something moving in the wheat pile not far away, and quietly walked over: "Who is it?"

Uchiha Izuna stared with big eyes: "There is a mission - why is it you? Call your brother!"

"What mission? Big brother can't escape." Hashirama has more appeal among the clan. When his father and elders are away, he is the talker of the Senju clan. Tobirama feels that the arrangement between the two of them is just right at this moment.

Izuna recalled seriously: "There is a fugitive Shosaku from the country of Thunder. He is tall and thin, has a sly eyebrow, and is dressed as a fisherman. He is holding a river boat and heading east along the Shinano River. The daimyo asks you and Masanori to track him down immediately. . My brother and I went to the cement factory and couldn't find you. Can you bring more people with you?" He frowned at the confrontation.

Tobirama also frowned: "Not at the moment. You go explain the situation to my elder brother, and I'll go find your brother and Masanori brother first."

He was about to turn away, but found that Quan Nai was frozen in place and hesitated to speak. "What? Is there any information that you didn't explain clearly?"

Izuna said dryly: "Senju and Uchiha..."

"As long as you stay by my brother's side, no one will touch you. Decide quickly! The mission is urgent. What if that person runs away?"

"Then you have to listen to my brother in everything, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, Tobirama had already left in an instant.

Soon after his brother entered the wheat pile, someone else came out. Hashirama thought he was joking with him: "Tobirama, why are you looking like Izuna?"

He winked, "Now is not a good time to pull a prank."

"I'm Quan Nai." Quan Nai spent a whole stick of incense explaining to this overly imaginative guy, and finally explained the new mission clearly.

"It's really the wrong time for us to get entangled." Hashirama said to himself as he looked at the clansmen who were relaxing and waiting.

At this moment, a strange group of people came into his sight.

This is a chaotic team, including craftsmen, ninjas, samurai, and ashigaru. It is an orderly team. The ashigaru holds the flag to clear the way, the samurai rides in the middle, and the craftsmen are two in a row carrying various tools. Ninjas were on alert throughout the team.

A tall, snow-white horse with no trace of hair came out of the crowd. The young samurai on the horse raised his sword and said loudly: "I am Sakahara Shinichi Chiaki. On the order of my father, Sakahara Shimogogaki, I sent a mason specially for His Highness. 15 15 people, masons, and 15 laborers with experience in water control repaired the channel. I would like to ask everyone, is this the channel to be repaired? "

There was silence all around, and bathed in everyone's gaze, the young warrior did not appear embarrassed at all.He has a face like a crown jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger's body and ape's arms, a swollen belly and a wolf's waist. He rides on a lion horse that shines with night jade, and wears a sword with a scarlet-gold pattern and a shark leather handle. He leisurely urges the horse to walk between two groups of people.

He glanced at everyone, and nodded to Canaan, Ranmaru and Heigong Zongwei: "You're fine."

The conflict disappeared in an instant, and the horse owner immediately said that he was riding accidentally. Heigong Zongwei also said that it was not worth wasting their vacation over such a trivial matter, and they were ready to go hunting as originally planned.

Watching the disciples of the Lang Party running away, Quan Nai whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Boss Senju, the person who came here is not evil."

"Yeah, I know." Hashirama's voice was muffled in his chest.

He turned away.Behind him, Sakahara Tomaki was staring at him, giving him a smile as bright as the sun.
