The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 231 Bitterness
"Your Highness, my lord, please come in."

Daming Mansion, the Capital of Fire.

Under the guidance of the servants of the Daming Mansion, Prince Zongquan of the Kingdom of Fire walked into the living room of the Daming Mansion, and knelt down opposite the Daming Mansion.

The style of nobles is naturally different from that of ninjas.

Rows of candles were already lit in the meeting room, and the candles were as bright as beans, but there were not enough candles, and the huge meeting room was still illuminated.

Different from the spring breeze when he came to meet the daimyo last time, Zong's complexion was pale and numb at this time, and his whole body's energy and spirit had changed. He looked like a different person from a few days ago.

And the daimyo sitting opposite Zongquan looked at his dispirited son, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed in his heart.

No matter how much the daimyo disliked him, he was still his own son.

However, thinking of the many years of inheritance of the daimyo clan of the country of fire, the daimyo could only suppress a trace of unbearable in his heart, and said coldly to Zongquan: "Yesterday you also went to witness the battle between Shimada Hanzo and Uchiha Madara with your own eyes. Let me ask you now, do you still insist on your previous ideas?"

Zong Quan immediately lowered his head when he heard the words, and said in a low voice after a long while: "Father, why can ninjas have such great power? What's the point of what our name...does?"

Even though Huo Daming's original intention was to hurt his son, he couldn't help but tremble in the face of such a problem.

Isn't this the pain in his heart?

If he hadn't really understood the power of a top ninja, how could he have fallen into depression?

After a moment of silence, the daimyo still couldn't answer his son's question directly, but just pretended to be calm and said: "You don't need to think too much, as a daimyo, we are the legitimate rulers of the land of fire, even ninjas... will not take it easy Tear us apart."

However, daimyo's weak explanation failed to comfort him at all, and instead made Zongquan's face even paler.

Zong Quan, who had always been dull in aptitude, this time keenly grasped the true meaning of the daimyo - when their daimyo mansion faced ninjas, they had nothing to rely on.

Although he had anticipated this, when he really learned about it from his father, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This is also the first time Zongquan has seen such a weak side of Huo Daming.

It is very different from the majestic image that the daimyo had established in his heart since he was a child.

In the past, he was afraid and loathe of Huo Daming's majesty, but now, Zongquan would rather Huo Daming still put on that look he hates. At least this proves that the Daming Mansion has a certain confidence in facing the ninjas .

The father and son were silent for a while.

After a long while, Zong Quan suddenly bowed to the daimyo opposite him: "Father, your daimyo...forgive my son for not being able to bear it."

"What did you say?"

Daimyo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then flew into a rage.

Ever since he realized that his time was running out, Daimyo began to plan various aspects for Zongquan.

Facing his right-hand assistant, the elder Longguang, his name is to show his old face and beg him to help his son.

These days, he summoned many nobles who were loyal to him in the Fire City, including his old rival, General Qingxi, to make plans for Zongquan's ascension to the throne.

Even in two days, he plans to make an exception and go to the residence of the Shimada clan in person to visit Shimada Hanzo.

However, just when he was thinking about it, this brat was about to quit?How does this not annoy him?

Besides, although he has always disliked Zongquan.

But he also knew it in his heart. Compared with his other sons, Zong Quan was really a general among dwarfs.

All in all, Zong Quan had to sit in this daimyo position, and he had to sit if he didn't.

Facing the daimyo's anger, Zongquan just put his head on the ground, but did not waver at all.

"You bastard, you're so angry cough cough cough cough cough..."

Daimyo, who was already almost exhausted, was furious for a moment, and couldn't help coughing desperately.

Seeing his old father's appearance, Zong Quan couldn't take care of his anger for a while, and hurriedly walked to Daming's side in three steps at a time, to help him calm down.

The doctors who had been waiting by the side rushed in when they heard Daimyo's cough.

……

After a period of chaos, the daimyo's situation finally stabilized.

Leaning weakly against the wall, the daimyo reluctantly waved his hand and let the doctors back out.

And Zongquan also knew about his father's physical condition at this time.

The daimyo took a few deep breaths, lifted his spirits, and said to Zongquan, "You know my situation... Zongquan, you have no choice, and neither do I."

Zong Quan heard the words, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Is this the reason why you suddenly ordered Lord Gangli to take me to watch the battle? For the so-called recognition of reality?"

Facing his son's questioning, the daimyo did not have the emotional ups and downs before, and just said flatly: "If you were me... what would you do? Zong Quan? I really tried my best..."

The daimyo closed his eyes slightly at this time, and did not look at his son in front of him.

Zong Quan knelt down in front of the daimyo and fell silent.

He lived for more than 30 years, but it seems that until today, he realized for the first time that the position of daimyo is so difficult to sit.

Behind the seemingly jeweled seat, there are all kinds of helplessness that he can't help but want to escape from.

But as Daimyo said, he has no way out.

Even if he doesn't want to, he is still a child of the Daimyo Clan of the Fire Nation, and since he was born, he has suffered from the shadow brought by this clan, and now, it is time for him to repay the family.

"Father, maybe you should have let me know this earlier..." Zong Quan's voice was low and helpless.

Hearing his son's complaint, Daming suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zongquan with cloudy eyes.

"I'm just an ordinary person..."

There was deep exhaustion in his words: "Faced with such a blow, I chose to escape. When I wake up, there is not much time left."

The daimyo's words were a bit rambling, but Zongquan understood what he meant.

He still remembered the day when Daimyo suddenly became depressed a few years ago.

Zong Quan asked himself, if he switched places with his father, maybe he would also choose to escape.

At this moment, the daimyo seemed to have lost his interest in talking, waved his hand, and said in a waned way: "Go back to your house first and prepare. If there is anything, I will let the elder let you know... Don't worry, I will talk to you while I can." Do something, and I will do my last for the family."

However, this time, Zong Quan didn't obey as usual, instead he looked straight at his father and said, "You plan to visit the Shimada clan, right?"

"Ok?"

The daimyo's eyes were a little surprised: "Who told you this?"

Zong Quan shook his head and said, "Father, after all, I am not the empty-headed prince I was a few years ago."

The daimyo heard the words and didn't investigate further, just said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

Zongquan disagreed with his idea: "Father, let me go together."

Looking at the serious eldest son, Daming sighed in his heart.

"Forget it, you can go if you want."
