Master Swordsmith[Comprehensive]

The short but long night finally passed, the bright moon faded away, the sun came late, people got up from the ground, and resumed their daily pace.

Nothing seemed to change, not many people actually died in the dark, but a lot of things seemed to change, because some people died.

For example, the daimyo of the country of fire.

There are mixed reviews for this daimyo, who was ambitious, wise and honest when he was young, and became more and more incompetent when he was old. Although he has many beauties in Dao, he only has three sons and one daughter in his life, but the three sons were a few years ago. He passed away year after year, and his only daughter married early and was reduced to a subject. She was old and sick and naturally had no inheritance rights. After his death, the blood of the Fire King's family was almost cut off.

The throne hangs high, and the people below must have their own ulterior motives. The internal affairs of the Land of Fire are unstable. Of course, other countries are ready to make a move. They want to cut a knife on this fat sheep with rich products. It is best to annex it into their own country. Taking advantage of this When the most powerful behemoth weakens.

But the Fire Nation didn't give them this chance. Almost the day before the news of the Fire Nation's daimyo's death was confirmed, the next day came the news that the Fire Nation's new daimyo took over.

--a child.

When they heard it for the first time, many people thought that there was something wrong with their ears, but the new daimyo of the Land of Fire is indeed a child under ten years old, and it was the left minister of the Land of Fire who helped him to the throne Song Xian Jianding, the intention of coercing the emperor to make the princes is clearly revealed.

The only daughter of a daimyo from the Land of Fire married a nobleman from the Land of Fire, and their daughter married a small country that had been attached to the Land of Fire for generations and gave birth to a prince. When that small country was destroyed in the flames of war, Kasen Kanesada He brought the prince who was still breastfeeding all the way to the Land of Fire, and found a job as a civil servant under the influence of the great nobleman. Only then did he start his legendary career path. At that time, no one thought that a few years later, the three princes who were fighting for power and profit would die one after another, and a few years later, the fire country daimyo would die so unclearly and suspiciously, so that child has always been raised by Kasen Kanesada.

No, it should be said that Kasen Kanesada had already anticipated the situation at this time. He raised the child very well, without the slightest common problem of nobles. Perhaps because of the influence of Kasen Kanesada, the child prefers to spend his time reading books, dancing, and writing rather than enjoying extravagantly. His character is not suitable for becoming a king, and he lacks a bit of determination and domineering. Compared with Quite a bit of literati's kindness and stubbornness.

For the Fire Nation, such a name is of course unqualified, but for Zong Jue, such a personality is just right.

All he needs is a pretense suitable for issuing decrees with absolute authority. The Moonship must be free from secular power, otherwise, once those priests with humble backgrounds taste the sweetness, the valve of ambition will open wide, and the ninja will be unpopular. For the time being, it is only suitable for use as a threat of force. The best choice is the orthodox kingship in the secular world. With the Moonship already pushing its own prestige to the highest level, a kingship that can get along well with theocracy is enough to smoothly carry out many things that would otherwise be difficult. policies implemented.

Kingship relies on theocracy to buy people's hearts, and theocracy relies on kingship to promote beliefs.

If Zong Jue wanted to take the initiative, the person on the throne should naturally not be too domineering. Otherwise, instead of cooperating happily, they would tear each other to death every minute. It was not easy for Kasen Kanesada to raise a child. It would be best if there was one less thing to do.

Out of some unspeakable evil taste, Kasen Kanesada named the child Zhongxing.

The little Zhongxing pulled the sleeves of Kasen Kanesada into the moon ship. This was the first time he got so close to this big ship with countless legends. He lowered his head and stepped on the clear water floor under his feet. The beauty of the dream allowed him to think of many, many words to describe it, and he felt that the ink in his stomach was beginning to move around, weaving verses and articles in his head.

"Song Xian." He saw the familiar greetings of Kasen Kanesada and the envoys on the Moon Ship, and couldn't help tugging at the sleeves of Ge Xian, "Do you know the envoys?"

Utama Kanesada smiled and rubbed his hair, "I come from the same place as them."

"Hey..." Zhongxing blinked, "Is Gexian also a person on the moon?"

"It's a secret." Kasen Kanesada replied, "so keep it a secret."

Zhongxing covered his mouth and nodded vigorously, then asked: "Gexian, what does it look like on the moon?"

The song fairy Kanesada (xia) replied (bian): "There are many palaces, the land is like a snow-covered lake, tall trees with golden branches and jade leaves will grow, and music will be jingled at night."

"Wow—" Zhongxing's eyes widened and he was full of longing, "Then can I go too?"

Kasen Kanesada didn't answer, just straightened his collar for him, turned around and pushed away the paper barrier.

Sanri Yuezong showed a perfectly curved smile, suppressed the desire to laugh a few times, and said as calmly as possible: "You are back."

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Kasen Kanesada bowed and walked into the house with Zhongxing.

moon……

Zhongxing looked at Sanri Yuezong and thought in a daze. He couldn't find any satisfactory words to describe the nobleness and elegance of the god in front of him. He subconsciously straightened his back and lowered his head in an extremely obedient manner. Lord Shenming has an unspeakably beautiful appearance.

It is a kind of beauty full of divinity. Even if you sit in front of you, you still have the feeling of being far away and high above. The stroke across his body made him so excited that his little face flushed, and he was almost out of breath.

He is still too young to think about why Kasen Kanesada is related to Moon Ship, and he has no time to distinguish whether this relationship is good or bad. Now he is only happy to be able to use Utasen Kanesada to get along with God. Staying in the room for such a long time is not because of any fancy thoughts, but just the most instinctive pursuit of beautiful things.

But he only met Lord Shenming once, and it's not that he had no chance to see him again, but he chose to give up.

Some things will look more beautiful with some distance, just like the moon, when you look up from a distance, you can feel the silent noble loneliness, untouched by the world.

Zhongxing wrote many waka haiku to praise the appearance and character of the gods. From his youthful youth to his middle age when his style was mature and self-contained, he gradually regarded the gods as the embodiment of all good things. Existence, he also wrote prose and even novels and passed down to later generations. Many of the magnificent rhetoric fragments were famous works that were recited by students thousands of years later, gnashing their teeth and desperately while scolding this famous literary giant in history as a nympho.

But that was a long time later, and now he is still biting the pen and racking his brains on how to describe the beautiful eyes of the gods, and absent-mindedly stamping the seal on the memorial that Kasen Kanesada handed over.

Since then, the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan have been formally merged into the Land of Fire, and Izumi Uchiha has been appointed as the right minister, and the surnames of Uchiha and Senju have been included in the nobility. Take the mission casually, but you can give priority to joining the newly established military establishment of the Fire Nation, and enjoy excellent salary subsidies, because the state will also be responsible for the follow-up compensation because of battle injuries, disability or death—clean up the nobles in Kasen Kanesada For the most part now, the decision has been passed without much resistance.

Of course, in addition to these superficial terms, there are many miscellaneous conditions that cannot be obtained on the table. Uchiha Quanna and the others have been tossing for several years before they can really settle this matter and let the originally unstable family The mercenary force system has become a stable and systematic military system, formally changing the identity of ninjas who take money to do things into soldiers who defend their homes and the country, and step by step to subtly improve the social status of ninjas. Assuming the status of a general, no matter what others say, at least he is now the No. 1 ninja world officially certified by the Fire Nation.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.The country of fire treats ninjas well and has excellent policies. Although they have to abide by many terms and conditions, their income may not be as much as before, but they will not be squeezed out by civilians. Good social status and state subsidies are very important to many ninja families. Attractiveness, in the ninja world, there are only a few powerful people like Senju Uchiha. The lives of most ninjas are quite difficult, especially the country of water does not have much fighting needs because of its geographical location. The country's attitude towards ninjas is not very friendly. If it weren't for the current unstable situation, maybe the ninjas would be expelled on a large scale.

Gradually, some ninjas chose to join the Nation of Fire. Anyway, they wanted to fight. The military system of the Nation of Fire was a bit safer, so that they would not lose their lives in vain.

In the beginning, there were only scattered solitary ninjas. Later, ninja families migrated. Senjujuma's strength is the best pass among ninjas, and Uchiha Izumi coordinated behind him. At first, there were some contradictions. After that, it gradually calmed down. The ninjas were no longer based on the family as a unit but were scattered into the army. They were all young people and did not have too much enmity. The big education orientation, weaving together to eat and live together every day to fight the enemy hand in hand, bit by bit the hatred between the families was wiped out, and the army was twisted into a single rope.

So the major countries that were still laughing at the Nation of Fire's willingness to degenerate and accept ninjas were horrified to find that the Nation of Fire had unknowingly captured nearly half of the ninja forces, and their military power was enough to easily sweep the continent.

However, it was too late by this time, and the Kingdom of Fire, which had been dormant for a long time, finally showed its fangs.

In the shrine, Uchiha Madara shook the Kagura bell, and the corners of his clothes turned into a beautiful arc. The priests knelt down at his feet. With the godhead, he can now have his own family members. Therefore, the priests gained healing power. Touching his head to the ground, he vowed to spread the glory of the gods to every corner of the world.

The young Daimyo of the Fire Nation still looks weak, but standing in front of a group of bloody and brave ninjas, he does not show weakness at all. He pulls out the purely decorative ceremonial sword at his waist , landed on the continental map in front of him.

The sword points to the world.

Zong Jue was sitting on the top of the moon boat, Mikazuki Zongjin was sitting on the left, and Kohomaru was sitting on the right. They watched the ninjas leave the capital under the moonlight. Follow from a distance.

Zong Jue raised his wine glass, and the bright moon reflected in the glass was shattered by the ripples in the wine glass, and a bright light gushed out.

The war is about to begin.

And peace will eventually come.
