The Unholy Man of the Warring States Period [Naruto]

Now that people are here, they can’t be left alone to look good.

There is no useless waste in Izayoi's hands. What's more, it's an Uchiha ninja whose strength and appearance are both online.

Huopu, who had been traveling all night, had just finished his meal and was rushed to his post without even taking a second's rest. Although the casino has been rearranged, in his eyes there is still a lot of work to be done.

Seeing him holding a hammer and banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, clanging, Shikasuke felt very unhappy. It was obviously him first, so why was he picked up by this guy in the end?

"Let's go, Shikasuke. We have to go out for a while."

When Ji Jun called him, Shikasuke didn't come back to his senses for a long time. "Didn't I ask you to recruit people?"

"It's enough to have Huopu here. Hirata is also upstairs. Put that sign away first and follow me out to meet people."

Izayoi returned to the backyard of the izakaya and came out with a pot of hot porridge. Freshly cooked and still steaming.

Shikasuke was so busy that he wanted to take it over. "Don't bother! This thing can burn a layer of skin off your hands!"

"That's you. I feel a little hot at most."

Izayoi's body temperature was very steadily low, but he was wearing three layers of clothes, making it difficult for ordinary people to notice. The burns Shikasuke was worried about were actually very unlikely to happen. The temperature I felt so far has been absorbed by the beads on my wrist, which are used to neutralize the cold and biting seal in my abdomen.

She sighed and picked up her pearls, polishing them repeatedly. Without this thing, maybe he would have been frozen into ice when he was sealed.

Shikasuke pulled the bullock cart out of the back door, and the original simple wooden boards were replaced by a carriage with brown and green skin that had not been scraped off.

"When was it replaced? The wood grain is quite nice."

Izayoi stroked the shaft of the car in amazement. It was smooth and burr-free. The person who polished it must be very careful. Even the reins were replaced with a new one, which looked much stronger.

Lu Jie hesitated to speak, but finally decided not to hide it. "It was replaced by Hashirama-sama. I don't know how he did it. It was already like this when I saw it. He also said that if it breaks out, you can ask him to repair it."

The hand touching the shaft of the car paused for a moment, and Izayoi turned his back to him and said leisurely: "Okay. Let's see if the things made by ninjas are more durable."

————————————————————

The two got on the bullock cart and headed to the countryside.

The sky is clear and the sun is bright, and the spring breeze is warm.

The short book street behind him is still in the sleep after a night of carnival, but the countryside in front has awakened. The sun had just risen not long ago, and there were still some corners on the ground that were not illuminated. The green hills in the distance are full of green, and new buds bloom from under the decaying yellow leaves.

A group of people were sitting on the edge of the grass on the roadside. Some of them collapsed on the ground and were quickly pushed up by the people next to them.

"Look! It's that kid Lu Jie!"

"Yo! Lu Jie! So it's you who came to pick us up!"

"Hahahaha! Where is Hirata? Isn't that kid asleep again?"

Shikasuke drove up to them in a car, jumped down from the car's shaft, and patted each other's shoulders with his companions whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Come on. That kid has been on a mission recently and is exhausted. The eldest sister asked him to rest for a day first."

"Huh? Is it Sister Butterfly?"

"Be careful. If you hear it in person, don't blame me for not protecting you."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Am I afraid of her? I am a good citizen!"

"Mitomon. Be careful what you say."

Hinata Tianshu came from the back of the group. Amazingly, his eyesight returned.

Shikasuke looked at his crimson eyes in surprise and saw him bowing deeply to the people sitting in the carriage.

"Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled. Mr. Ji, I brought the person here."

"Okay. Your accommodation has been arranged. Come with me."

"Eh? Isn't there a seat for us?" This was a young boy who had just arrived.

Immediately someone gave him a kick. "What nonsense! This is Ji Jun's oxcart. Without her, you would have starved to death."

The young man was still mumbling unforgivingly. The car door was pushed open, and Ji Jun, whose name was heard but not seen, got out of the car.

The dark pupils scanned the people present one by one, and finally narrowed slightly, seemingly smiling. "Okay. Let him go up."

"Yes."

Before Lu Jie could retort, Tianshu picked up the noisiest one and threw it onto the left shaft. He explained: "Although Ji Jun is considerate of everyone, we can't go over it easily. Your shoes are full of mud, and it's not good if they get dirty inside. Just rest on the shaft of the car."

It's a little less effective, but it works.

Izayoi pointed to the right shaft of the car calmly and said, "There is another side. Does anyone want to sit on it?"

This is putting people on the fire.

If Ji Jun insists on taking the car back by herself, it will be clear that she wants to draw a clear line between herself and the common people. How is that different from other nobles? In the end, both parties will still fall into the trap of interest relationships.

If Ji Jun simply gives up, who will he give up to? Should it be given to frail elderly people, half-grown children, or adults with illnesses? It doesn't matter if you give it to anyone. People who don't get the bus will always complain.

Shikasuke rolled up the rope whip and put it on his shoulders, and added with a smile: "Yes, yes. I can hold it from the front."

No one answered.

Izayoi glanced at Tianshu. Did this guy knock them before he got here?

Tianshu didn't explain much and urged softly: "Let's go. It will get hot later."

—————————————————————

Butterfly rented a temporary house on the outermost edge of the street, which provided adequate shelter from wind and rain, but was far less comfortable than at the bottom of the valley. Outside a row of wooden huts, the shaded areas and moss-covered areas are covered with dark black rotten wood.

"The conditions are a bit difficult. But I have asked people to buy wood. When the things come back, we will build a new home on the high ground next to here."

Izayoi pointed to the east of the persimmon tree outside the house, where there was a slightly bulging bush. The branches covered with sharp thorns are dotted with red fruits that taste sour in the mouth.

The first batch of more than twenty pricks carried their belongings and moved into the damp wooden house without saying a word. After a while, someone came out carrying the damaged furniture, looking for tools and trying to repair it.

Izayoi smiled and said to Tianshu: "I thought they would quit on the spot."

Tianshu shook his head first, then nodded. "We saw ninja fighting on the way here, and a hillside collapsed just upstream."

"No wonder." Izayoi folded his hands thoughtfully, held the beads and slowly turned them. "Scared."

"Well. After all, life is more important. The reason why you are lazy and meddlesome is because you are too full. You are too kind to them, and sometimes appropriate intimidation is necessary. In the future, there will be more people, and there will be no way to talk to each other one after another. .”

"There is no need to intimidate people. Make rules that everyone must abide by. If you do well or if you do poorly, you will be rewarded and criticized according to the rules. Although it is a bit suspicious of putting people in a box, but in order to achieve stable development It’s essential to go down.”

Tianshu turned around and asked doubtfully: "What about dealing with the people in Danshu Street? They will not abide by our rules. There are also ronin warriors, wandering ninjas and the like."

Izayoi took off the green whip hanging from his waist and pointed the tail of the whip at the residents who were thinking about how to improve their living conditions.

"Collect those who have the same aspirations as us."

Then he pointed in the direction of the izakaya.

"Sign up with those who have the same interests as us."

Finally, he gently tapped Tianshu's shoulder.

"Assimilate fighters who complement us."

She rolled up the whip, wrapped it tightly around her palm, and pointed it at the rising sun in the east.

"Unite them tightly. At this point, you can have your own power. And I can achieve half of my goal. This is a win-win situation."

------------------

After temporarily answering Tianshu's doubts, Izayoi left the outer row house alone. She needs to find a quiet place to sum up the current rapid expansion.

There is an outpost-like izakaya on the main road. Butterflies are eloquent and bold in their actions. She manages the interpersonal relationships there, and can also buy and sell information.

Opposite is a gambling house that cooperates with Uchiha. Regardless of whether Uchiha Izuna wants it or not, he has replaced the Hagoromo clan as their new partner in this area. Since their side basically has no force, it is impossible for them to ask themselves to collect ninja-related intelligence in the near future.

There is a group of people brought by Tianshu outside, and they are not allowed to interfere with the business on the street for the time being. As a separate individual, he took root in the outermost areas, paving the way for subsequent annexation of suburban land.

Although it is a no-nonsense zone, there are still people who claim to rule here. Although they don't actually control it, and they don't have the ability to do so.

If that's the case, then why can't she take care of it.

How can you make more money without land? When using someone else's land, you always have to worry about whether it will be taken away one day. There are also taxes. If you don't collect it for three years, if you collect it, it will last five years. And overdraft. Not a good deal.

After working hard for a long time, but getting nothing in the end, it was like working in vain for the nobles who owned the land.

Why do they just point their fingers and this place belongs to them? It is nothing more than warning others not to claim sovereignty through intimidation. Ordinary people are easily frightened, ninjas have no money, and it’s hard to say who is behind the black market, and it’s hard to tell who is involved with the nobles anyway.

So if she can develop her own protective power, can she also claim this area as her own?

Izayoi sighed. I thought it was so beautiful.

Being strong as an individual and being strong as a group are completely different things.

The days when one person had enough to eat and the whole family had no worries are already a past life. Now she wants to get a ship that can travel far, and at least she needs the money from a large territory.

Just look at the new settlements currently proposed to be built. Materials cost money, labor costs money, and to ensure quality, craftsmen also have to be hired separately. These do not take into account subsequent maintenance. It is still unclear whether the land was taken by force.

Butterfly is doing this, convincing the neighbors not to report blindly. Otherwise, today's gambling house will be their fate tomorrow.

In the final analysis, you still have to have your own force!

On the 16th night, I looked up to the sky and sighed. How can this be accomplished in just one or two years! It will take at least one generation for someone to teach you. Until then...well, I don't know if I can hold on until then. It's really sad.

As she walked, she thought about where to go in the future. As I walked, I unknowingly deviated from the main road. When he realized it, he was already in a remote alley.

It was surrounded by low wooden houses, which were no less desolate than the outer row houses she had just arranged. The only difference is that the townhouse only has one room, and all twenty people have to squeeze into it. Although the wooden houses here are much smaller, they are still one family at a time.

But it was almost there. She had already noticed a pair of malicious eyes peeking at her every move in the gaps between the door panels and window lattice.

Izayoi closed his sleeves and held the vine whip wrapped around his left arm in his right hand.

Using direct force is not very accurate. But she can still cheat. If it doesn't work, she can just transform and leave.

"Eh? Is that the big sister who came to wash your feet last time?" A childish voice broke the gloomy atmosphere in the alley.

Izayoi looked up and saw a little girl with disheveled hair standing at the entrance of the alley, tilting her head and staring at him.

The girl clapped her hands lightly and affirmed: "I remember you. My sister who sits very beautifully, she was also wearing this beautiful dress last time she came here. Are you lost?"

She was the daughter of the owner of a water bug shop, and she had a messy top of hair exposed on the stairs.

Izayoi spread his hands and walked towards her with a smile.

"I remember you too. Your eyes are very bright and very beautiful. I want to find a separate house to rent, but my legs are a little numb after walking for too long. Can you take me to your store to have a rest?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, a pair of white teeth appeared on her face covered with black mud.

"Of course! Go straight out from here, turn left, turn left, and when you see the second alley, turn right. Walk a dozen steps forward and you will find my home. I'll tell the old man to boil hot water first!"
