[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

When the samurai rushed in holding the knife, I was playing with the knife, and there was a mummy in gorgeous black hair lying in front of me.

After seeing the situation in the room clearly, the guards silently put down their knives and made way for a path——Aokiji looked at me from the opposite side of the path, and also at the corpse at my feet.

Then she was pushed away vigorously, and the shocked faces of Furukawa Kano and Tsukino Yasutaro appeared in front of me.

Seeing them, I stopped to play with the fingers of the knife, looked at Qingzhi and frowned slightly: "Why are they here?"

Aokiji signaled the warriors to pack up the mummy, and walked towards me slowly over the two frozen children: "I heard that there is a traitor among the maids, so I insist on following."

I glanced at Yasutaro Shunno - I haven't seen him since I started my own project, and now I feel that he has grown taller at first glance, secretly thinking that a child in the developmental period is running fast, I waved him come over.

The little boy with ice blue hair and eyes walked towards me on the same hands and feet, with a short knife hanging on his waist, and his eyes were still glued to the mummy.

Walking in front of me, he knelt down and said hesitantly, "Then... is that the maid who wants to assassinate you?"

I nodded casually, turned my wrist, held the tip of the knife and handed the knife upside down to him: "Take it for fun, it's not bad."

I don't know where the maid got it from, but it is considered a rare treasured sword.

Shunno Yasutaro silently accepted the knife and lowered his head.

I rested my chin and waited for him leisurely, wondering what he wanted to say.

As a result, the first one to speak was not Yasutaro Tsukino, but my cheap apprentice Furukawa Kano.

Speaking of this cheap disciple, when I accepted him at the beginning, I agreed to his request for apprenticeship with a joking attitude. I didn’t expect his mother to give me the gift of the Yata Mirror, so I had to be a little more serious. Counting his heart to guide his knife skills for a period of time.

Later... Later, Furukawa Kano didn't know why he didn't come to class. I was too busy "proclaiming the oracle of the Pure Land God" and forgot him. Now I saw him and found that he had grown a lot——

The small waist is straight, his expression is calm and a little arrogant, he is wearing a straight crimson suit and his hair is neatly tied up, he is leisurely behind Yasutaro Tsukino, walked in front of me and looked back. I saluted respectfully: "Teacher."

I waved my hand casually, signaling that he doesn't need to be so obedient, anyway, I know that this kid has never been really afraid of me in his heart.

Sure enough, when he saw me raising my hand, he immediately straightened up, sat down close to Yasutaro Shunno, and looked at the knife in his hand curiously: "Is this the weapon that woman assassinated the teacher just now?"

Shunno Yasutaro was looking at the sword, when he heard this sentence, his hands froze and he looked at me.

I nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that such a good knife didn't work at all in her hands."

"I didn't expect that there would be traitors among my people." Qingzhi watched for a long time, and finally had a chance to say something.

As a result, when she opened her mouth, Furukawa Kano, who had just opened her mouth, closed her mouth again, without looking at his mother, and only studied the knife with Tsukino Yasutaro.

Qingzhi sighed, smiled helplessly at me, and then looked at her son: "He Ye, don't lose your temper."

Furukawa Kano concentrated on studying the knife, as if he didn't hear his mother call him at all.

Shunno Yasutaro was caught between the two of them with a frowning face, and he didn't know which side to speak for. Looking at him, the cold war between Aokiji and his son was not this time, but this time I don't know why it still made trouble for me. Here comes——

Yasutaro Tsunano winked at me frantically, expecting me to make a rescue.

I thought for a while: "He Ye, your mother is talking to you."

The cheap disciple raised his head and only stared at me: "What mother?"

I had a headache: "What the hell are you guys doing?" How would I explain my plan to them later.

"...I don't have a mother who values ​​power more than her son." Furukawa Kano held his mouth under my eyes for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and finally spit out such a sentence from his mouth, then immediately closed his mouth and continued Play dumb.

"I'm your mother! The biological mother who gave birth to you for ten months and watched you grow up!" Aokiji was furious. This was the only time I saw her lose her composure. She seemed to be used to throwing all her emotions away. They are all introverted, but they are always noble and elegant on the outside.

Now the eyes of this always noble and elegant lady are red, pointing at her son with trembling fingers: "What you said just now is really...really..."

Unexpectedly, Gu Chuan Kano also stood up with a huff. After entering this room, he looked at his mother for the first time, but his face was full of anger: "I'm right, I want to grasp the power of the entire Kingdom of Thunder , Completely abandon the child! Do you know what they say about me in private, they say I am a puppet!"

"Who said that? Who dares to say that!" Qingzhi also couldn't help raising her voice, tears were still shining in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the anger on her face, her cheeks were flushed with anger.

"Heh, everyone says that, whether it's nobles or commoners, even ninjas..." When Furukawa Kano mentioned ninjas, he reflexively looked at me. Seeing that I didn't care, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to talk to him. The mother complained, "If you are really my mother, why don't you give me the power? Obviously I am the daimyo in this country, right?! You are just my mother, the daimyo's mother, not the daimyo!"

"I...you..."

"Hmph, pretending."

Leaving such an ugly sentence behind, Furukawa Kano turned and left, and Aokiji also hurriedly got up and chased after them. The surrounding samurai and maids were all serving the two of them. Seeing that the two had left, they rushed after them. past--

In a blink of an eye, the room that was still deserted before became deserted again, only Yasutaro Tsukino and I were staring at each other.

After he had been asking me for help before, he lowered his head and pretended to study the knife and pretended to be dead. At this time, when the mother and child had left, he dared to look up at me: "They have been like this for a long time."

"..."

"It's been almost half a year. I've been arguing in front of me every day. My head is getting dizzy. I don't know who to help."

"Then who do you think is at fault for this matter?"

"...I think both of them are right." Yasutaro Tsukino looked serious, "He Ye wants to get rid of the nickname of a puppet and grasp the power that a country's daimyo should have. He is right. Mrs. Aokiji thinks that Ka Ye is still Small, now the Pure Land God Sect is making troubles all over the world, and they are spreading their teachings in the land of thunder, making the country a mess. Kano really can't deal with this situation alone, and needs Mrs. Aokiji's help. So she was right."

I suddenly wanted to know how these two children viewed the Pure Land Sect. After I asked, Yasutaro Tsukino was a little puzzled as to why the topic jumped to this place, but he replied obediently: "Both Kano and I think they are controlling citizens. It’s a good way, but it’s ridiculous that some daimyos of the ruling class also believe this…”

I smiled: "It seems that you and He Ye are quite smart."

"The former daimyo of the Land of Thunder was obsessed with the Pure Land God, and Ka Ye has been brooding over his father's death for a long time. He often told me that his father committed suicide because he was brainwashed by those fanatical believers."

"Then does he hate me?"

"what?"

"It's no secret that I'm the envoy of the Great Pure Land God. Since he hates the Pure Land God Sect so much, he should also hate me, right?"

Tsukino Yasutaro stopped talking, he pondered for a long time and said to me: "I don't think Kano doesn't hate you."

This time I was a little surprised: "...why?"

"Because Kano thinks that if it were him, he would choose to help you spread the word of God, but he himself will never believe in that set of things. I'm sorry, brother." Yasutaro Tsukino remembered what he said when he said this. I was the one who started that thing, and apologized immediately for the scornful tone in which I mentioned it.

Instead, I became happy, smiled and waved my hands to show that I didn't care, and motioned him to continue.

"He Ye said that the ninjas are too powerful. Even if they succumbed to the control of the nobles before, they might be enlightened one day and want to control the lifeline of the country by themselves, so he said that it is a good idea to use religion to control He also said... the current Pure Land Sect is clearly helping ninjas... He said, brother, you are still a ninja after all, and you stand on the opposite side of the nobles, that's why he wants to control the country of thunder..."

Yasutaro Shunno's voice became softer as he spoke. He looked at my face and carefully weighed every word he said, trying to prove to me that his brother really didn't have much malice towards me.

It's a pity that the facts are already stark|naked in front of my eyes——

"What he said is absolutely correct." I nodded and admitted it openly.

"Hey?"

"This is normal. The classes or camps we belong to are different. As a nobleman, of course he has to consider it from the perspective of the nobleman, and I am a ninja, so I naturally stand on the side of the ninja. The only problem now is, You, Antaro."

"……I?"

"Which side are you on? Nobles, ninjas, or other ordinary people who have neither chakra nor status. Which of the three do you choose?"

Although on the surface, he and Furukawa Kano are as close as brothers, and he also defends the latter a lot in words, but I don't believe that Yasutaro Tsukino, my teacher's son, will really completely stand on the side of the nobles.Because the blood of a ninja flows in his body, and the blood of his mother as an ordinary person flows...

"I... I don't choose nobles or ninjas, I want to be a samurai." Again, beyond my expectation, Yasutaro Tsukino said these words very calmly and calmly, which made me a little Surprised!

He looked at me, clenched the handle of the small knife in his hand, his eyes were piercing, and shot straight into my eyes like a burning flame: "I have long ago decided to dedicate my life to my knife, so religion | I don’t care about conflicts between noble ninjas and ordinary people, I just want to protect those I love. For example, Mrs. Aokiji, like Kano, like you, brother!”

"..." I lowered my eyes, staring at the folds on my clothes in a daze.

Makoto Uchiha was looking at me, giving me a smug smile, and I heard him say to me—how, my son is not bad, is he?

Of course...not bad.

That's your child, teacher.

Even if there is no Chakra, he will still become a strong man, and he will become a strong man in a way that is different from me and his father.

I raised my head, and smiled at Yasutaro Shunno: "Really, a great dream."

With my affirmation, the boy couldn't hide his excitement, but he quickly calmed down again: "So don't worry, brother, I will protect Mrs. Aokiji and Kano, and you can entrust them to me with peace of mind .”

"you……"

Seeing how I was shaking, Yasutaro Tsunano grinned and showed me his white teeth: "Brother asked me which side I was on, didn't I just want to say that? I don't care about noble ninjas, in my opinion you and Like Kano, they are all my family members. Whether they believe in God or not, whether they are the messengers of the gods or the daimyo who oppose the gods, they are all the people I want to protect!"

I was really shocked this time. I was stunned for a long time before I let out a sigh of relief: "You really deserve to be the teacher's child."

I looked at Yasutaro Tsukino with relief. It seemed like yesterday that the little devil who was bullied by the children of the clan had grown into a reliable man today.

Really...

amazing.

The future should be theirs, it should be the children's.

Makoto Uchiha looked at me—of course, those of us who belonged to the past should have died long ago.

I bent my eyes, ignored the phantom standing beside me, and reached out to rub Shugeno Yasutaro's ice-blue hair: "Okay, then I will entrust the mother and child to you."

If I die, the Land of Thunder, which is my base camp, will definitely be attacked by other countries. I don't care about these, but I can't ignore Aokiji and her children who have helped me so much.

And Hanako and Yuichi, since the two of them are together... let them be together forever, it's good to have lovers get married at last, with the help of the two of them, I can enter the country of neutral iron country without any disputes under my name. , even if life can't be compared to now, Aokiji and Furukawa Kano can at least survive.

I told Yasutaro Tsukino about my plan, and he nodded to show that he understood, and then asked me a question: "What about you? Brother, do you have to die?"

He looked at me calmly, as if he was completely unaware of what a terrifying sentence he said.

I also looked at him calmly and nodded: "I must die."

"Master Jing——Master Jing—" the sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and a servant stumbled in with a letter in his hand.Seeing me, his eyes lit up, and he waved the letter in his hand excitedly: "Master Jing! This is a letter of war from Konoha!"
