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

When the patriarch of a large feudal family stood in the Bodhi Temple where the relics of his ancestors were enshrined and their spirits were enshrined, and found that there were actually many more spiritual tablets in the root hall than the current population of his family, it was impossible not to feel panicked.

The names of the ancestors of the Muto family are enshrined in the niches, and the golden characters are dazzling. I am the only one who kneels down to pray.

The monks recited scriptures in an endless tone. I timed the timing of their tapping of the ritual instruments and silently inserted the incense into the incense burner.This kind of incense is shorter than the incense stick used in the previous life, and the smell is closer to the fragrance of grass and trees.

Today is the Autumnal Equinox, there is no wind, no clouds, no rain and no thunder, so we can worship our ancestors.From a sacrificial theory, every ancestor should be taken care of, but I couldn't take my eyes off the name at the forefront.

Akio Muto, the former Fire Nation warden, my father.

In fact, I have only met him a few times. In the first ten years after I came to this world, I didn’t even know that my father was actually a daimyo. When I was brought back to him in Year 11, he was already dying. He died in a half-conscious state within half a month.I can only speculate on what kind of person he was by reading the only records I have, observing the attitudes of his retainers, and analyzing the sporadic descriptions of him from his family.More importantly, knowing what a mess he had left me with.

There is no need to think that I am miserable because of my lack of father's love. In fact, after collecting enough information, I am very glad that my childhood was not affected by him.

"...If you fall into an evil realm and suffer great suffering, you should remember that I was in the Trayasa Heaven Palace and diligently gave instructions to liberate all sentient beings in the Saha world until Maitreya was born. They will be free from all suffering forever and meet the Buddha's prophecies. .”

"Ding--"

The monks sang and rang the bells.

"To achieve liberation and to be free from all suffering forever", this is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish, but it is not consistent with his father's ambition.

Akio Muto, I am the only one.

Comparing Oda Nobunaga's Tenkabubu and Takeda Shingen's Fenglin Volcano, his father's ambition sounds more like the leader of the Yamagumi group.When he was young, he had a hot temper and valued love and justice, and he had a bit of a heroic style of the Hua Family.After inheriting Lushang from his ancestors, he first established a reputation as the bravest man in Lushang, and based on this, he gathered a group of like-minded young people from the surrounding areas, and basically let these people know what to do in the unsecured land under his control. , hunt and practice martial arts together every day, and cultivate a large number of warriors loyal to him.The four current family elders, except Sasaki, all became friends with their father at that time, and are known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Ashigami".

"...It may appear as a king. It may appear as a minister or assistant. It may appear as an official. It may appear as a bhikkhu, a bhikshuni, an Upasaka, or an Upasika. It may even appear as a voice-hearer, an Arhat, a Pratyekabuddha, a Bodhisattva, etc. Huadu…”

There was a very low sound of conversation behind them.But I can't look back. I'm the leader now, and everyone can see my every little move, speculate on my thoughts, and criticize my behavior.I could only stare at the incense burner in a daze.

People in the world always think that they are pioneers, but they don’t know that there may not be only one person with similar ideas.In the later period of the Hosokawa family's reign, there was a precedent of re-employing the ninja clan. Under his father's command, everyone could serve as a staff member regardless of their origin. He had a wide range of contacts, spent a lot of money, and was generous to ninjas. Hinata, Kaguya, Akimichi and other ninjas near Ashigami All the clansmen have served him.

Many forces have emerged in troubled times, but when it comes to reusing talents, no one can be better than his father.After Akio Muto conquered nine counties one after another, he was regarded as the hero who quelled the domestic chaos in the minds of the Chinese people.

"There is only one prison, and it is called Infinite...The fire from above penetrates the bottom, and the fire from below penetrates above. Iron snakes and iron dogs spit fire and run away, walking east and west on the prison wall. There are beds in the prison, all over thousands of miles... Everyone Such is the reward for what one's karma feels. Also, all sinners have suffered a lot. Thousands of yakshas and evil spirits, with mouths and teeth like swords, eyes like lightning, and hands with copper claws, drag the sinners..."

However, everything changed when he ascended to the position of guardian of the Fire Nation.

People at the time said that the death of my uncle Uesugi Hiroyuki during the Battle of Chisaka was the beginning of my father’s cruelty and cruelty, but I don’t think so.

My words are unsubstantiated, but I can't find any more information. The records of Chengku in Dazangli have disappeared, and no one who has experienced it can tell me "stories of the past."I can only find clues from morning meetings.

The consistent policies of the retainers were not loose, but compared to what they said their father's plans were, they were actually benevolent policies.After seizing the country, my father did not choose to recuperate. Instead, he recruited civilians, built cities, and expanded territory. The surrounding countries were already extremely wary of the newly rising forces, so they found reasons to drag him into a tug of war. In the end, As a result, fertile farmland has been left uncultivated, thousands of miles of bare land have been left bare, and people are in dire straits.From this point of view, my father did not build up the family fortune of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, but he learned [-]% of the great joyful skills of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, his attitude towards the defeated was extremely unfriendly, and the more severe the local policies that had been fierce resistance became, the more severe the policies were. However, he failed to eradicate the root causes. Instead of improving trust, he first damaged the people's power. Various places started to carry out small actions under the instigation of people with ulterior motives. , the Ninja clan also broke away from each other one after another.Coupled with the increasing suspicion and fear of the great achievements of the past heroes, there is gradually a desire to leave them idle.

The separation of important ministers and the abandonment of people's hearts must have already happened.

"Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva!" After the ceremony, all the monks clapped their hands together in praise, and the sound shook the roof tiles like a lion's roar.

Like an enlightenment, I suddenly woke up from my meditation and followed the instructions to salute my ancestors.

Izuna felt something was wrong with her eldest brother.

He took one bite of the tofu skin sushi he had made in the kitchen and stopped moving; when he asked him to practice taijutsu, he occasionally became distracted; when several people went to the bathhouse to take a bath, he didn't realize that Senju was standing there behind him.

Could it be that you are in love?Quan Nai thought of the maid he saw that day, and also thought of her elder brother's unusually excited performance.

No way.

Although Izuna has never been in love, he also knows that if he likes someone, he will definitely find a way to get in touch with the person to enhance the relationship, instead of keeping a straight face and talking in a low voice with that Senju in a deserted place.

"Izuna." Madara quickly turned his head and relaxed his shoulders when he saw it was his younger brother. He stopped his hand and sheathed the ninja sword.

"Brother," Quan Nai glared at his sister. This guy almost threw ninjutsu in his face just now, "the sacrifice is over, His Highness is on his way back to the castle tower."

The two teenagers stood up simultaneously: "Let's go."

The two of them had exactly the same movements, the same serious expressions, similar heights, and the same pace. Quan Na was caught in the middle and felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Brother, haven't you been happy lately?" Is Qian Shu pestering you to cause trouble?

"Izuna..." Madara pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"We should talk to him about our thoughts," Senju Mushroom Head interjected, "The minor surnames do not allow us to protect the sacrifices, and they frequently obstruct our communication with the daimyo. They are targeting all ninjas. Izuna should understand Take a moment to be prepared and prevent yourself from being bullied by them."

"I know everything, and I'm not stupid." Quan Na rolled her eyes at Hashirama, then turned to ask her brother obediently: "This daimyo seems to be kept in the dark by them. The elders don't help him, and the retainers don't help him." They don't obey him. Why? He is obviously very smart, and he is different from the old men we have seen."

Madara laughed out loud, and his eyes were very pleased: "Izuna can see it too. Because what those people need is a puppet. If the daimyo is very strong and all orders must be implemented, then they will not be able to take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of it." .”

It seems that after arriving at Sagayama Castle, Izumi Naiya sat in on many morning meetings (on the rooftop) and found that the policies discussed by these dignitaries were not consistent with those implemented in his hometown.As far as he knew, the jurisdictions of Wuyu and Ogino in the upper reaches of the Nanga River were close to each other, but their taxes were completely different.It seems that everyone is secretly carrying out their own plans.

"If this continues, won't the cries and voices of our ninjas and the people no longer be heard? He is bored in this city with food and clothing, so he will naturally think that everything is normal. But what about us? We don't have enough food and clothing, and we don't have enough warmth. We still have to be prepared and fight desperately." Quan Nai pointed at the city wall.

The three of them looked at the gray-white stone wall silently. The guards were passing under the wall, each with a knife in their waist and a powerful bow on their back, with indifferent expressions.There are also crossbows and iron cannons on the wall. At least ten ninjas from Hagoromo and Kirara were killed by these weapons.

Iron cannon, Quan Na chewed this word carefully in her heart.In long-distance battles, it is more likely to pose a threat to ninjas than bows and arrows, and can even kill with one hit.The daimyo seemed to be very fond of this thing, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would ask Genjiro Tsuda, the leader of the Iron Cannon Squad, for advice.That Genjiro was very strict. He never talked about the key points when there were ninjas around. He ignored everything Izuna wanted to know, such as the manufacturing and loading of firearms, formations, and the defense strategies of this city.

Looking beyond the high wall and looking into the distance, the castle town is crowded with people, the houses are clustered together, and the traffic flows along the water to the outside of the city.The farmland is divided into neat shapes by ridges, and golden waves fill these small patches.The endless river plain extends into the distance, flowing into the sea to the east, and to the north is everyone's hometown.

Senju restarted the conversation: "As you said, Senna, His Highness is different from the samurai we have seen in the past. He does not listen to partial beliefs, and he is benevolent towards the people."

Be benevolent?Quan Nai rubbed a small piece of raised skin on the outside of his right forearm. It was a scar left by the Wuyu Oshima clan, who was known as "Benevolent", because he did not kill a scratched man in time. The servant who took off the scabbard.The scabbard will naturally get scratches after being used for a long time!That man asked for mercy so pitifully, why should he pay for it with his life?

From then on, Senna no longer believed that any nobleman would be benevolent.

"Whether he is just talking or is he convinced in his heart, we need to confirm again." Madara exchanged a look with Hashirama over Izuna's head.

What, why is there a secret between you two?Quan Nai jumped up dissatisfied and tried to block the gesture communication between the two: "How can I confirm? Brother, you must have thought of something!"

Hashirama tolerantly distanced himself from the two brothers. Madara deliberately made a cryptic expression. When his brother almost couldn't wait any longer, he lowered his head and whispered to him: "What the little people did to that maid, we will make it happen to your highness." Know.”
