Naruto: I can take people to the future ninja world
Chapter 356 The real murderer is me?
Just when Hashirama was confused.
In the distance, a middle-aged woman with tattered clothes also rushed here frantically.
He hugged the reckless little girl, then apologized and begged for mercy with cold hands and feet and trembling body:
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!"
"It was my fault that I failed to discipline my child and caused her to offend several ninja masters!"
"Please forgive me, gentlemen! I will leave now and take my daughter away..."
The woman held her daughter in her arms, kowtowed and admitted her mistake, while trying to escape quickly.
"Wait a mininute!"
Hashirama called out to the mother and daughter.
The latter trembled all over, immediately knelt down, and begged for mercy again.
"Please spare me, sir! I really didn't mean to offend you! I, I..."
The daughter didn't understand, but the mother knew it very well.
The ninja in front of him is a superman who can kill monsters that are dozens of meters tall.
If you anger such a big shot, there is no way you can survive!
"Don't get excited. I don't want your lives, and I won't hurt you and your daughter."
"I just want to know what this kid just said, that I killed his father. What's going on?"
Hashirama asked gently so as not to scare the woman any further.
"No, it's nothing!"
The little girl's mother was clearly too afraid of the ninja to respond.
But the girl herself did not have much fear, perhaps because she was still young and ignorant.
He stared directly at Hashirama and loudly accused him.
"it's him!"
"Mom, you're saying that it was because of these ninjas that Dad died?"
"Sh-!"
The woman was terrified and immediately covered her daughter's mouth, and quickly explained:
"No, no! Kid, you heard it wrong! I definitely didn't say that..."
Tobirama frowned and immediately scolded:
"Just tell me whatever Big Brother asks you, we won't hurt you!"
"Tobirama, shut up!"
Hashirama choked Tobirama.
Isn't it scary enough to be so fierce? Even scarier than Uchiha!
"My brother is a bit radical. Don't worry, we really won't hurt you. Please tell me what happened. If it is really related to me, I am willing to do my best to make amends!"
"Really not! I just ask the adults to let us go! Please!"
The woman was still unwilling to tell the truth, and it was unclear whether she was afraid of Hashirama and the others or had some other concerns.
"This……"
Hashirama sighed and decided it was not a good idea to force him.
Judging from the situation, it would be difficult to get any useful information.
So Hashirama looked at Madara beside him, hoping that Madara could help.
With just one glance, Madara understood what Hashirama meant. Although he was a little reluctant, he would not refuse Hashirama's request.
So, Madara opened his Sharingan, only activated the basic three magatama, and glared at the woman casually.
The latter instantly fell into the illusion and his emotions stabilized.
And began to narrate the truth of the incident.
original:
This mother and daughter were just ordinary farmers outside the daimyo's mansion. When the tailed beast attacked some time ago, they tried to avoid the disaster.
Most of the farmers outside the city were forced to move into the city.
I thought this was a good thing done by the daimyo prefecture to protect the people.
Finally, three days ago, the tailed beast was successfully expelled.
A large number of farmers excitedly left the city and returned home, but suddenly found that their homes had already been looted and all their valuables were gone.
Not only that.
The town magistrate's accomplices, together with the farmsteads and group leaders, directly occupied the land of these ordinary tribesmen!
They claimed that they had voluntarily abandoned their land, so it was directly confiscated and handed over to the lords of the designated areas.
And this is not over yet!
Just yesterday, the warriors of those noble lords found them and asked them to pay a large amount of taxes!
They say it’s called something like [Suppression of Salary]!
The daimyo could not bear to see the people suffer, so he specially commissioned the Konoha ninja to drive away the monsters, and thus had to pay a large commission fee.
The daimyo will not pocket a penny of this suppression pay, all of it will be paid to the mighty Konoha Hokage!
To express gratitude to the ninjas for driving away the monsters and protecting the entire daimyo's palace!
The key point is: this amount of suppression money is very expensive, requiring a full 2 stones!
That is about 300 kilograms of food, which is equivalent to two people's annual food ration.
It accounts for almost 30% of their family’s total annual income!
This is almost fatal!
You know, although the Warring States Period has ended, all countries, including the Fire Nation, basically still use the harsh tax laws of the Warring States Period.
Ordinary farming households need to pay various taxes and fees every year.
Including: annual tribute, section money, building money, labor service, rice for each employee, banquet fees...etc.
All in all, there are more than ten items, and there are various duplicate tax items among them.
Taken together.
In more serious cases, about 7% of a family’s total annual harvest can be directly confiscated!
It is equivalent to earning one thousand taels and only having three hundred taels left.
Even so, he could only barely feed himself and his family when the harvest was good; if there was even the slightest unrest, he would almost certainly starve to death!
And now.
This sudden demand for military pay was even to forcibly take away their last 30% of food.
This is almost equivalent to murder!
Naturally, the woman's husband disagreed and had an argument with the warriors who came to collect taxes.
The other party didn't even bother to talk nonsense and just hacked the farmer to death with a knife, killed the little girl's father, and then took away the food.
Such a scene not only happened in their family, but was happening in almost the entire Daming Prefecture and surrounding areas.
During these three days, all the nobles' subordinate warriors were forcibly collecting taxes, and even the Wakanagan, Fushoshidai, and Fujoshidai who were in charge of the security of the daimyo's prefecture joined in.
Because of this, the little girl’s father was killed and her food rations were stolen.
Then he ran outside the city gate hungry to pick up some garbage to fill his stomach.
When I saw the culprit who caused all this to happen, the ninja from Konoha Village.
The little girl was subconsciously dominated by anger and chose to attack the enemy with stones.
She didn't understand the root cause, but she had heard her mother cry and complain that it was the samurai of the noble lords and these Konoha ninjas who killed her father!
...
Hearing this, the truth became clear.
And Hashirama understood everything in an instant, and his mind exploded!
It turned out that he was the one who killed the other person's father!
It was the harsh [suppression of salary] that killed the other party's father!
Also, within these three days.
The noble lords in this daimyo mansion are not raising their own money to pay the commission at all.
Instead, during this period, they madly exploited ordinary people, thereby squeezing out a huge amount of their fat and blood!
Even in the name of Hokage!
The 2 billion silver taels in the convoy behind him and Tobirama were actually the valuable money that was looted from the common people in this city!
No wonder when I left the city today, all the people were filled with resentment, wishing they could bite me and others to death!
