"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Oda City. I am currently the Sheriff of Daming Prefecture and the capital."
In a certain hall of the castle tower, a girl in her 20s, with a three-foot katana slung across her waist, frowned and stared closely at Uchiha Tatsumi.
The young man stared back without fear, and then said with a smile: "Sheriff, are you? I already registered when I entered Daming Mansion, why do I need to register again?"
"General Zhenwa just reported that you committed a murder outside the castle tower. You almost killed his groom and injured him... Is this happening?"
Uchiha Tatsu scratched his hair, showed a confused expression, and asked: "Are you sure it's me? I am an ordinary little ninja, do I have the courage?"
"Ordinary?" Oda Shi said with a swish, his head stretched out, and then he squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency is not ordinary... the legendary Konoha Thunder Light, the guardian ninja requested by the daimyo!"
Uchiha Tatsumi smelled the girl's unique fragrance, sniffed, and said with a smile: "Miss Sheriff, I am a good citizen. I may have some fame, but it is only flattered by my friends in the ninja circle and is not worth mentioning.
Besides, it was my first time to come to Daming Mansion, and I didn’t know any generals before. How could I do such a crazy thing? "
"Whether you want to do it or not, you'll find out when you come back with me."
Uchiha Chen chuckled: "I am a ninja of Konoha, and it is not your responsibility. Why, you want to kill me, a ninja of Konoha, with the daimyo's sword?"
"You..." Odashi snorted coldly and pulled out the shoulder knife slightly by three inches.
Uchiha Tatsumi laughed dumbly: "Your acting skills are too poor. If you want to force me to take action, you can't do it without a bit of murderous intent.
Hey, you haven't killed anyone yet, have you? "
Hearing the boy's words, the girl became really angry this time. She pulled out the knife another three inches, but after a stalemate for a while, she suddenly inserted it back.
"It's still the legendary lightning. He doesn't even dare to move his hands. I think it's far worse than Senior White Fang..."
"I'm not as good as..." Before Uchiha Tatsu finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "Do you know Brother Sakumo?"
"Humph, I won't tell you." The girl showed a slight fake smile and stood up to leave.
"By the way, for Brother Sakumo's sake, I'd like to remind you." When Oda City was about to walk out of the hall, he tilted his head and gloated: "At this moment, the general who suppresses Japan is playing mahjong with the daimyo. He just told me It’s your condition.”
"Also." The girl turned around and took only two steps, then turned around and fanned the flames: "There is a guy named Sato among the guardian ninja who was recommended by the general who suppressed Japan. You should be careful."
Uchiha Tatsumi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Thanks for the reminder."
The girl snorted arrogantly, turned and left.
When the girl walked away, Himeji, who was sitting silently aside, suddenly said: "Oda... should be the daughter of Oda Nobuhide, the leader of the Oda clan."
"What, are you famous?"
"She is indeed quite famous. The daughter of the patriarch of one of the three major families in Daming Mansion is also the most beautiful woman in Daming Mansion."
"Have you ever been to Damingfu, Himeji? It seems like you are quite familiar with this place."
"I've been here before. I used to come here every year during the Autumn Harvest Festival." Himeji thought for a while and continued: "Actually, it's not just the Hyuga clan. Many big families in Konoha have connections with the Daming Palace."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. It seemed that the water in the village was much deeper than he thought.
Mikoto on the side asked: "What should I do with the Daimyo?"
"It's okay," the young man smiled slightly, "We are here to be guardian nin, representing the Hidden Leaf Village.
The third-generation uncle told me before leaving that I could be more arrogant and domineering, but I must not lose the prestige of the village.
Therefore, the Daimyo will clean things up for us today and there won’t be any problems. "
"That's good." The girl felt relieved.
"Let's go back to where we live."
With that said, Uchiha Tatsu stood up and walked out first.
From the outside, the castle tower looks like a fortress, but inside it, you will find a deep courtyard, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. For those who don't know, you might think you are in a garden.
Just with this style, I don't know how much higher than Konoha Village.
Therefore, a village has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.
In the eyes of many people, the life of a ninja is like that of an ascetic, and it is not as comfortable as living in the bustling world outside.
After passing a lake, Uchiha Chen raised his head and suddenly found a huge Thousand-Armed Guanyin standing on the top of a mountain in the distance.
Seeing the young man looking at the Avalokitesvara statue on the top of the mountain, Himeji said softly: "It is said that the daimyo spent a million taels to build it. There is also a Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara like this in the Fire Temple."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded, but felt a little regretful in his heart.
It would be nice if the one standing here is not the Thousand-Armed Kannon, but the Thousand-Armed Goddess of Mercy of the First Hokage.
But then again, the daimyo was really extravagant and wasteful. After staying in Konoha for so long, he almost forgot that this was a feudal society.
"What would happen to the ninja world if there were no daimyo?" he asked suddenly.
"No daimyo?" Mikoto was startled by the boy's thoughts.
The daimyo had been around for hundreds of years, and she had never thought about not having one.
"The Land of Fire should be in chaos... It would be like Konoha without Hokage."
Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head: "This is different. The Hokage is not hereditary. Although he and we are superiors and subordinates, they are still equal on the whole. The daimyo is different. He is hereditary, and he is of no use... at least to Mu. The leaves are of no use."
"Do you mean to let the Hokage govern the Fire Country?" Himeji asked.
The young man continued to shake his head: "Ninja training is hard enough, and you can manage a village. But if you rise to a country, you will definitely not have the ability."
"... Then don't we still have to let the daimyo govern?"
"The daimyo don't manage it themselves, they leave it to their subordinates. So it's better to throw this kind of thing into the trash... Or, let them quietly be a Celestial Dragon, eating and waiting to die."
The young man said and suddenly sighed.
He can't even control his own destiny now, and he still has time to worry about the country and the people. He is really full.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, go back and write a letter."
Mikoto was stunned and asked, "Who are you writing to?"
"Brother Sakumo," Uchiha Tatsu resumed his smile, "You can tell at a glance that Oda City has a special relationship with him, so let him use his beauty trick to help us get some information."
"Is this... okay?"
"It will definitely work. Besides, didn't Big Brother Sakumo's blind date not go well?"
