My Hokage can't be an undercover agent

Castle built on a hill:

Zhuqiu City

This castle was named: Bamboo Hill because it was built on a hillside and there was a large bamboo forest nearby.

There is also a small river flowing under the mountain.

Most of the tens of thousands of troops from the Kingdom of Tian are camped beside the river, burying pots and making rice.

The Ashigaru people cut firewood from afar, built a fire, and set up their own iron pots.

After the water taken from the river was boiled, the clerical warriors responsible for logistics led people to various camps carrying rations on their backs.

Check the number of people, arrange epidemic prevention, and obtain food.

Salt, miso cubes, kelp, dried trout, and pickled radishes are necessary for the army to travel.

Of course, white rice is also essential.

Watching the enemy soldiers below happily cooking, Danzo couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Speaking of which, I haven’t eaten since morning.

The little protein I replenished in Yun Nin Village has long been used up.

Just as he was thinking about where to find something to cushion his stomach, the unusual movements of the Ashigaru-gumi leaders in the camp attracted Danzo's attention.

Through the lens of the telescope, Danzo noticed that the armored and sword-clad Ashigaru-gumi leaders in the enemy camp in the distance had all abandoned the naginata on their backs.

They then went into groups of two, carrying only the sabers and ribs around their waists, and went straight to a large tent by the river to gather outside.

What, is there a military operation?

Use the soldiers' meal time to summon cadres and arrange operations.

I didn’t expect that the name of Tian Country would lead the army so strictly.

Danzo was praising the daimyo opposite for his skill in leading the army, but he didn't want what was handed out in the big tent to break his illusion.

"Hand-Pulled Noodle"

Lengthening the lens tube, Danzo carefully observed the objects piled around the big tent again, only to realize that the situation here was far from what he had previously thought.

"Tomatoes, pork, hens, beef bones, and seafood."

Watching the enemy warriors below add rich ingredients to the noodles, they also ate happily.

Danzo's heart was filled with anger.

"Adai, Gengsuke"

"Ah" x2

Hearing the doubts from the two of them, Danzo glanced at them.

Really, if my subordinates were elite enough, they should have just shouted "Ouch".

Forget it, forget it.

"You two, practice your transformation skills now."

"After practice..."

"Let's eat"

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

To Danzo's surprise, Kosuke, who was powerful in combat and a little older than Adai, had no talent in the art of transformation.

After practicing for a long time, I finally failed to turn into a squirrel.

On the contrary, Adai, after practicing all morning, imitated the squirrel perfectly.

Very good, Adai.

If you were in the world of Harry Potter, you must be an Animagus master

Instructing Kosuke to hide himself, Danzo took Adai, ran down the slope in the shape of a squirrel, and sneaked into the vicinity of Bamboo Hill Castle.

That's right, after seeing the food of the Ta no Kuni warriors below, Danzo decisively decided not to continue eating the instant rice balls he brought with him, and instead went to Takeoka Castle to find the lord for a meal.

Ahem, no, I'm going to Zhuqiu City to help repel the enemy.

Of course, while defeating the enemy, eating some steak, roast chicken or something like that is also the right thing to do, right?

However, when Squirrel Danzo and Squirrel Adai ran to the foot of the three-meter stone wall outside Ninomaru of Takeoka Castle, a samurai riding out of the Tanokuni formation attracted Danzo's attention.

"The leader of 16 people in Kusano River, his horse trampled the enemy camp outside Qingshui Castle, he defeated 34 people with his naginata, and defeated two famous generals with two spears. He has never made a single loss in [-] battles in his life."

"Uemio Hirakawa Nobe Yajiro, here to ask for advice."

Looking at the enemy's grass-headed samurai on the opposite side who said a lot of wild words but couldn't even tell his family name, Squirrel Danzo was a little stunned.

"One ride to challenge"

Ikkidō was the main form of combat that was popular in Japan during the Heian period.

Both sides of the battle sent out horseback warriors, first shooting from a distance with bows and arrows, and then drawing swords to attack.

The winner's victory can effectively improve the morale of one's own army, and can also allow the army to take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy.

However, Danzo remembered that generally speaking, Japan's "Ikkidou" did not allow Ashigaru or even Sotou samurai to participate.

This is a style of play in which a grass-head warrior is given the title of vanguard and then ordered to go to the enemy to call for formation. . .

It is generally seen in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, thinking about the Chinese cuisine and Chinese medicine pills that appear in the original Naruto novels, Danzo can understand the "uniqueness" of the Ta no Kuni samurai that is different from history.

“The style of this place can be summed up in two words: “mix and match”

From the land of fields. . .Well. . .After Yajiro finished calling the formation, the enemy troops behind him started to make loud noises, and some even waved their pants and taunted the other side loudly.

The warriors of Zhuqiu City of the Country of Fire standing on the stone wall were obviously aroused.

Although there was no military formation outside the city, the warriors of Zhuqiu City still opened the city gate and released a group of warriors to attack the warriors of Wada Country.

Seeing that the samurai who came out to fight were strong and well-equipped, Danzo couldn't help but stop and watch the battle.

"Adai, who do you think will win and who will lose?"

"Danzo-sama, I don't have much experience, it's really..."

Hearing what Adai said, Danzo couldn't help but give him some advice.

"Look, our warriors have strong physiques and excellent weapons and armor. They should be able to defeat the opponent easily."

"But the war horse he rides on is too small and difficult to mount."

"With a big man and a pony, the mobility is inferior."

"And the enemy warrior..."

Squirrel Danzo couldn't help but stand up at this moment and hugged his chest with his forelimbs.

"Although there is only one Nodachi, it is not good at breaking armor."

"But his war horse is a good horse."

"In my opinion, the two will have to fight for a hundred or ten rounds to determine the winner."

After hearing Danzo's analysis, Adai couldn't help but nod.

"As expected of Danzo-sama, he knows even the battles of the samurai so clearly."

“You really have read books”

Danzo couldn't help but laugh when he heard Adai's unintentional compliment.

"Ah, I haven't read that many books."

"Look, the fight is about to begin."

While Danzo and Adai were talking, the warriors of Zhuqiu City had already come out of the city on horseback.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they see each other.

There were no common exchanges of greetings or business. Facing the warriors of Tian Country two hundred steps away in front of them, the challengers in Zhuqiu City decisively increased their horse speed, clapped their horses and wielded their swords.

Seeing the enemy on the opposite side rushing straight to the ground, the warriors of Tian Zhiguo also decisively gave up their swords, took out a crossbow from the pocket beside their legs, and fired three consecutive shots at the warriors of Zhuqiu City.

One of the shots hit the Zhuqiu City warrior directly in the face.

After shooting the enemy on the opposite side off his horse, Tamokuni samurai Yajiro lowered his head and pulled out a double-barreled musket. He looked up to see the situation. Without hesitation, he patted his horse and turned away.

Like a rabbit, he escaped from the bow and arrow range of the warriors standing on the walls of Zhuqiu City.

In an instant, the cheers of Tian Zhiguo and the shouts and curses of the warriors of Zhuqiu City mixed together, filling the entire battlefield.

Squirrel Adai slowly walked in beside Danzo in front and opened his mouth to the statue-like Danzo.

"Danzo, my lord"
