I, Mamoru of the Fire Nation and Warden of the Muto Family, feel panicked as usual when I wake up in the morning.

It's abnormal not to panic. How can you not panic if you put four Uchiha ninjas and four Senju ninjas in your bedroom at the same time?

In particular, three of these eight ninjas are named Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.

Fortunately, Tobirama didn't come, otherwise the scene would be even more lively.

"Is he awake?" This was Quan Nai's voice.

"Wake up, look at his eyelids trembling." This was Hashirama's answer.

"My brother is asking me! He's not asking you!" This is Madara.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep at all.

"Nowadays, ninjas really don't care about etiquette."

"Your Highness will be woken up by them even if he is asleep."

"cut."

This is Toramaru and Kanan.

I calmly opened my eyes, checked that I had no missing arms or legs, made sure that the small money box I had hidden was still intact, and then washed up as usual.

The man in the mirror is so ugly, as if he has lost his soul.

There was still no ninja seat at the morning meeting.Who are the people closest to me? "The Tiger of Shimogogaki" Sakahara Chinobu, the "Nagaga White Ghost" Sasaki Yukakuru, "Yaksha Taro" Ishida Takataka, and the "Three Talented Prime Minister" Yamagata Toshiyuki.They are not only my father’s team for his wars in the north and south, but also the candidates he left behind to assist as heirs: Sakahara’s daughter is the wife of my eldest brother Akimori, who is now a nun, with the Buddhist name “Eishenin”; Canaan was originally my The second brother's nickname was "transferred" to me after his death; Sasaki, Ishida, Yamagata... these important ministers were just acquaintances with me.

There are countless people in this world who praise their names, names piled up with blood and bones.

I, Muto Akinari, am nothing.

I am weak, I have no power, no land, and no one.

To make an inappropriate analogy, what was the emperor's situation before the Meiji Restoration was restored? After being lowered ten levels, this is my situation.And no matter which world the emperor is in, they always have thighs to hug (whether he wants it or not). Under the protection of thighs, they will probably not be assassinated seven times in a month like me.

The opportunity for everything was the Yuanfu Ceremony a month ago, and then all the high-ranking retainers officially pledged their allegiance to me, and I gained a lot of nominal rights, from being detained to being under house arrest, and hired Senju Hashirama by name.Because after that lengthy ceremony, I truly became the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Whether I can survive in this position and how I can survive in this position - the elders and other retainers are all watching my performance from a distance.The Muto family is in decline, is it still necessary to support it?

Is it...can it be replaced?

Phew—I don’t want to be upset anymore. Now I have people under me, and the amount of funds required to hire these people must be reported to my parents.

"Forty ninjas? 20 taels of gold per month? Your Highness! Honmaru's expenses -" Ishida has always been dissatisfied with my behavior of taking money from living expenses, especially when the money is given to ninjas.

"Why did you hire ninjas again? Did you encounter any danger?" Sakahara asked the question from a rational, pertinent and objective angle, sounding as if he cared about me.

The old fox who asks questions knowingly.I stared at his yellow eyes and cursed in my mind.If he thought that even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth knew how many pieces of radish he had eaten this morning, would he know what happened around me?When I was attacked for the first time, the first person I went to was my penman. How did he respond?

"Then I will add twenty more guards for you."

Exactly the same as before, he never dwelled on the danger, skipped the most important part, and took the opportunity to insert another twenty samurai who didn't know who they were loyal to, but it was definitely not me.

"How is the dispute over the ownership of the iron ore at the border between our country and Sichuan Country resolved?" They ignored me and talked about government affairs with other ministers.

In the past, when there were only Senju ninjas around, it was difficult for me to calm down while practicing martial arts.Indeed, ninjas and I may not be of the same species in nature, and they have been training since childhood after they turned on their talents. Comparing ourselves with them is like a three-month-old monkey trying to win the UFC championship.

But when a kid who seems obviously weaker than you shows off his championship level, the impact is still huge.

"Snapped--"

In the dojo, my bamboo sword fell from my hand and fell to the ground.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Did I hit your finger?"

Quan Nai on the opposite side quickly stopped and came over to check. He was a whole head shorter than me. I could clearly see his hair curls. His fingers were thinner than mine and had much more calluses.

This is a competition between Izuna and I. He doesn’t use chakra, ninjutsu, or sharingan, he only uses kendo.I just have to attack with all my might.

Defeated in one move.

……

"Can I touch your Matsuyuki Maru?"

On the racecourse, Quan Nai's pigtails were all gone. He was biting a few strands of hair and looking at me expectantly.

I breathed hard: "Okay."

"It's so beautiful!" Quan Nai immediately gave a series of compliments to my dark clouds and snow horse, and stroked its nose with a skilled cat petting technique.

I pinched Cha Qi's waist and looked down at him.How did a nine-year-old ninja maintain such strong lung capacity after running for half an hour?

……

"Ding - Duo -" By the woods, one shuriken passed through the ring of another shuriken and was firmly nailed to the tree trunk in the distance.

After throwing the weapon, Quan Nai immediately turned around and stared at the hateful Thousand-Armed Mushroom Head.

"Okay, okay, your Uchiha's throwing skills are great, okay?" Hashirama said helplessly.

"That's right!" Quan Nai shook her brother's sleeve, "Show him your skills, brother! Let him gain knowledge!"

Madara and Hashirama looked at each other and reached out to rub their brother's hair.

The breeze passed through the forest, and I let out a sigh of relief as I looked at the situation on the Ninja side. I pulled off the soaked cotton clothing that stuck to my body, and silently put on my gauntlets.

Brother Uchiha, your brother and Hashirama are like each other's second personalities. They are extremely familiar with each other's moves.Who among you will gain knowledge?The green shirt of the Fire Nation is wet.

"The power of ninjas is really strong. A child can actually have such fighting power. It should not be underestimated." Ranmaru said to Canaan in a low voice.

I looked back at the handsome young man. As a civil servant, he didn't have to be my training partner, but I really didn't have any government affairs to occupy him with, so I could only let him follow me everywhere to make my presence known.

"For the country's use, or like Bishamonten, subduing demons and protecting all living beings; for the enemy's use..." Canaan noticed the way I looked at him and did not continue.

A ninja is not a sword, a ninja is also a person. Be less suspicious and think more useful.

For example, can you not fall in the next round?

"Come again!"

Opposite me, the tall and thin spearman Aoki Shincheng was leaning on the ground with his gun on the ground, looking down at me, with no intention of reaching out to help.

"Huh..." I closed my eyes, and the fresh air made my nose hurt.Resisting the temptation to just lie down, I opened my eyes resolutely, my breath dropped from my dantian, my calves suddenly jumped up, and I stabbed the tip of the spear straight into Aoki.

There was a look of approval on the middle-aged man's face, but his strength did not diminish at all. He stepped forward and turned sideways to meet him with his gun.

"Pa--" The two sticks intersected, making a crisp sound.

The blow was powerful and heavy, the jujube stick had poor grip, and I had a height disadvantage. After the hard blow, I could no longer hold the gun. My hands were numb from the shock, and there was a dull pain in the tiger's mouth.

"Don't drop the weapon! Hold it!" "Sink your shoulders and elbows!" "Use your waist strength! Aren't you afraid of making your legs useless by piling up stakes like this?" The master turned the tip of the spear and whipped me several times with the stick.

Sweat was dripping down my face, my fingers were numb, and my clothes were stained with dust. I still gritted my teeth and accepted the lesson completely.

On the way from the martial arts arena to the study room, I almost only had the strength to drag my feet and move mechanically.Riding a horse?Riding a horse on the steps is no fun.Riding in a sedan chair?I am a "young and strong" young man, and men of the Wu family are required to exercise more.

I only have my sister-in-law, my brother Tuanshan and my younger brothers around me. I have given orders to the three of them not to do anything, so they have been living in peace until now.

Adult ninjas can fight if they want. I can't control anything more. Besides, if we block the river blindly, the river will burst its banks.

"Father wishes you well and hopes you are in good health." Madara handed me a letter.

To be honest, I was a little afraid to open Uchiha Tajima's letter, because he didn't ask me if there were any other ninjas here, and I didn't mention Senju to him at all when I hired him.As a result, his only two offspring are now with me, and they are used by me to conduct social experiments, the kind that can lead to death if not careful.

Fortunately, he neither mentioned his thoughts on my words nor mentioned the heir Madara. He just said that he had intercepted intelligence from the enemy, which showed that the Senju ninja was also working in my house. He was afraid of the conflict between his tribe and the Senju. It would disturb me, especially his youngest son Quan Nai, who is extremely naughty, so it would be better to go back to him first and let him teach me.

This way of expression is too euphemistic, and this tone is too condescending.

The patriarchs are all very humble, and so are the Buddhas. Whenever you look for the reasons within yourself, it is not the fault of the rulers who are too bastards.

I, the bastard ruler, have to think carefully about the wording of my reply. Since I plan to show my kindness to them, I must be consistent and show sincerity.

We continued walking quietly and unknowingly came to a small bamboo forest.Bitter bamboo sheds tears, fragrant maple whispers, there is green moss underneath, half leaning on the barren fence near the water.

"Why do you practice martial arts so hard?" Hashirama asked me in a low voice.Before he finished speaking, others looked over with curious eyes.

Yes, at this time, there is no Tokugawa Oogway's "The Laws of the Samurai" forcing people to practice martial arts. In my position, I don't have to worry about meeting any ronin. If there is anything, I can just pay more and let the ninjas handle it. Why should I? Want to practice martial arts?

I have said before that I have been very idle in the first 11 years of my life. I had no talent and no physical fitness. I only started practicing martial arts when I was at an age where I was not embarrassed. Naturally, I cannot compare with ninjas, and I will definitely not become a strong general among ordinary people.Toramaru's archery skills and Kanan's swordsmanship are ten times better than mine.They all aim to become famous, so what is my goal in practicing martial arts?

To put it more seriously, why is my heart filled with a sense of crisis?Whoever wants to conquer the superior, just let him do it. I just need to shave my head and become a monk, leaving all the secular affairs to the elders of the family. From now on, the troubles in the world have nothing to do with me. Who is loyal to the country and who is deceiving the world and stealing his reputation? What does it have to do with me?

"Brother, look at that bird, the feathers on its belly are colored glaze!" The unique clear voice of a child interrupted my thoughts.

Toramaru bit his lower lip, and looked down at the interrupted Senna, who seemed to have just realized that something was wrong, and stuck out his tongue to laugh it off.Madarago cocked his neck and glared back at Toramaru, Hashirama quickly reached out to hold him.Canaan and Ranwan were always very elegant. They recited the poem "Don't dare to look at the lake, and see the two kingfishers from the side." I wonder if there is Zhang Jiuling in this plane.

I seem to know the answer.

I just want to survive. If I can survive, more people in this world may survive.

There are so many things that require an equal price to achieve, and I will be the one who minimizes the price.
