Naruto Ukiyo-e Dream

Chapter 11 ○Daimyo and Shadow

I don't like wearing water shadow robes, nor do I like wearing bamboo hats.

"Yakura, as a Mizukage, you have to look like Mizukage, put it on quickly." Madara helped me put on my clothes by forceful means.

The file is as high as a hill, it's night, but I haven't done today's work at all.As a filmmaker, one must not only think about the village at all times, but also be the chief waiter of the village, making decisions in person on everything.

"Master Madara, you are very busy." I looked dissatisfiedly at the ancestor of the Uchiha family who was leisurely looking at me on the sofa in front of the desk. "You know it's not easy to be a water shadow." Madara stood up and patted my head: "Go to sleep, I'll help you approve some."

Looking at the teenager curled up on the sofa and sleeping with his clothes on, Madara put on a slight smile and buried himself in correcting the documents.

"Mizukage-sama, this is an invitation letter from His Excellency the Daimyo of the Land of Water." Anbu pushed open the door.I mechanically took the letter, read it, and handed it to Madara who was beside me.

"Yakura, the water country daimyo is a fox, very cunning, but I believe you can deal with him. Remember, he is an ambitious fox, but he is by no means a dangerous lone wolf." Ban paused, "I'll take care of Wuyin Village for you for a few days, so let's go when you're ready."

Three days later, I arrived at Daming Mansion alone.Pressing the brim of Mizukage's hat, I went outside the door in an instant. "Who?!" The little guard drew his samurai sword. "Fourth Mizukage, Yagura." I announced my name.

"What... the fourth generation of Mizukage?" The little guard looked serious, "...Master Mizukage, please wait a moment."

After a while, a group of people poured out from the Daming Mansion, and the one walking in front was a handsome middle-aged man with a smile that made people feel gloomy.

His name was Ishikawa Nansawa, and he was the eldest son of the previous daimyo. He was supposed to inherit the daimyo's position after the former daimyo's death, but for some unknown reason, the former daimyo died violently just a few days after he ordered Ishikawa Nansawa to be listed as the heir.

Seeing me, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he walked towards me quickly, with a gentle smile, if you ignore his scrutinizing eyes.

"Your Excellency is the new Fourth Mizukage, Yakura-sama?" Daimyo said, extending his hand friendly, silently sizing up the young leader. "Nice to meet, Your Excellency Daming." I reached out my hand, shook it, and then took it out calmly.

"Hehe, I must have traveled for a long time, so please come to the mansion for a briefing to cleanse you."

Ishikawa Nanzawa didn't mind either, but said to me with a smile. "Thank you." I nodded.

That man is a fox, yes.The eyes that fell on me included disdain, greed, inquiry, and contempt...

As if I didn't feel it, I silently pecked at the teacup and greeted Ishikawa Nansawa without saying a word. Although you and I seem to have a pleasant conversation, there are turmoil in the dark, and it seems that the sentences are related. , and the words are irrelevant, occasionally, the daimyo's entourage will also insert a sentence, hoping to get something out of it.

Nice, nice talk.Then the conversation turned to me. "I didn't expect that the head of this village would be such a young boy as Your Excellency Yakura." Ishikawa looked at me with some emotion, "It's such an achievement at such a young age, what a hero out of a boy."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Daming. The prosperity of the country of water is also due to Your Excellency, and I am able to get to where I am today, thanks to your help. Isn't Your Excellency an excellent leader?"

I responded, not only accepted the praise, but also praised the name of the country of water in turn, killing two birds with one stone. "Please go to the backyard to discuss in detail, Your Excellency Mizukage." Ishikawa Nansawa led me to the backyard.

Seeing that I was seated, Ishikawa Nanzawa waved his hand and ordered the maids and guards who were waiting beside me to go down.The guard who obviously had a higher official position opened his mouth to speak, and Ishikawa Nanzawa's face showed anger. The guard hurriedly shouted at the other guards and maids to leave, and then closed the door in the hall.Suddenly, there were only two people in the hall.

The screen in the hall hissed lightly, and I frowned slightly. Was it an ambush?

After being silent for a while, Ishikawa Nansawa finally spoke: "Your Majesty Yakura is so young and talented and has great patience, but he is the pillar of the country. I wonder if you are satisfied with the conditions of this deity?" He is quite good at playing psychological tactics, Use silence to create pressure on me.

"Your Excellency Daming's conditions are indeed very good." Seeing Daming's words, I took a sip of tea and raised my teacup, saying, "These conditions are exactly what Wuyin Village needs."

"Hehe, that's good." Ishikawa Nanzawa put down his teacup and said with a smile. "However," I said, just as Ishikawa Nanzawa was about to say the next paragraph, "it is true that it is important to provide economic support to the village, but the village has already been stable before."

"Oh?" This handsome middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, as if he was full of interest in what I said, if it wasn't for the flash of viciousness on his face that betrayed him, "What's the matter?"

"Presumably the daimyo also knows that there is no economic problem in this village at all." I couldn't see any emotion on my light expression, "A person with great ambitions like your lord daimyo will definitely not be content in one corner, the country of water is listed in Among the five major countries, but because the sea is separated from the land..."

Hanging a sneer, Ishikawa Nanzawa had vaguely understood my intentions, and he no longer attached to that gentle smile, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Yakura, this kind of thing is not done by a ninja!" Indeed, it should not be a ninja So, I secretly agree, this is just what Madara wants me to convey to him.

"Your Excellency, don't rush to scold. After all, when the matter has not developed to that stage, all conclusions are just reasoning out of thin air and cannot be regarded as facts. But wise men see when they are not moved, and fools hide when things are done. We can discuss issues only after they become reality, then there is no difference between a wise man and a fool. You and I are not stupid, and we both know that some things do not need to be explained. I am a ninja, and I am also a shadow of a village. The village seeks the greatest benefit. So, as a daimyo, he will also seek the greatest benefit for the country. Wuyin Village is one of the five great ninja villages, don’t you want to take advantage of it?”

His eyes swept over me again, Ishikawa Nansawa narrowed his eyes, the other party was more difficult than imagined, this young man was not as stupid as that Mizukage of the third generation, even above him.The other party's shrewdness was really beyond my expectations. It was just a few words when we met for the first time, and then I guessed the plan I had planned for a long time. The sentence "I am a ninja, I am also a shadow of a village, all I have to do is Seek the greatest benefit for the village.So in the same way, as a daimyo, he will also seek the greatest benefit for the country. 'It seems to be just expressing one's own position, but why can't it be regarded as a threat?Once he refuses to give Wuyin Village resources, then he can use Wuyin Village to deal with himself?

In fact, I'm just Madara's tool to spread the word. Of course, I'm from the debate club, and I'm still very lethal in politics.

When both sides are tough and evenly matched, it is very unwise to go head-to-head. Not only will it not succeed, but it will fail miserably. "Your Excellency, you are worthy of being the leader of a village, and you are really extraordinary." Ishikawa Nansawa suddenly smiled and said, "I agree to all your conditions. It's just that Wuyin Village must lend a helping hand when the country of water is in trouble." "Pleasant cooperation Your Excellency." I bowed slightly.

Sure enough, as Madara said, this daimyo is a wise man, but not those wise men, just a sinister man.He is a fox, but not a lone wolf on the prairie. His ambition is just a frog in a well.

Three days later, I signed all the agreements and prepared to rush back to Wuyin Village.When we parted, Ishikawa Nansawa stopped me.

"Your Excellency Yakura, you are already an adult, do you intend to marry a wife?" Ishikawa Nansawa asked, "Ah, sorry, Your Excellency Daimyo, I never thought about marrying a wife." I felt a little bad.

"Your Excellency Yakura, it's not that I'm making things difficult on purpose, but because my little girl falls in love with you after seeing you, I also want to find a good husband with both intelligence and wisdom for my daughter as soon as possible." Ishikawa Nansawa's words made me fall into the ice cellar in an instant. God I thought the ambush behind the screen turned out to be a princess...

"This is the little girl Akiko, may I ask whether Your Excellency Yagura intends to marry her?" Under the cherry blossom tree, the shy Akiko came out.The princess in the twelve-style unlined garment is a bit pretty, but my soul is still a woman, so I am not very interested in women.

"Yakura-sama, I thought you were very nice when I first met you in the mansion. You are much better than the son of a high-ranking official or the son of a noble family. I like you very much..." Akiko spoke softer and softer, and finally blushed. Did not go on.

"Princess Akiko," I said, "I'm not someone your highness can entrust. I'm a ninja, I'm also a Jinchuriki, I'm a weapon of the village, and I've already made up my mind to die. I won't be happy with me."

"...Yakura-sama..." Before Akiko could react, I left in an instant.Ishikawa Nansawa looked at his daughter and couldn't help but sighed deeply.
