This is my first conversation with Chongzhi after Yuanfu.

I followed this entourage named Nakamura to Lord Shigeji's residence. Uncle Yamada, who was standing at the door, looked a little uneasy.

However, my sight did not stop on him for a long time. Compared to Uncle Yamada, the person at the end of the intersection, I had to pay more attention.

Although it has been rainy and rainy since the day I came back, the rain has not been too heavy to the point where the hat or straw hat cannot stop it.

But the man was wearing a sky cover on his head. If he was afraid of the rain, he was not wearing a straw raincoat, and a whole monk's robe dressed in monks plus a monk's robe.

Zen Staff. I have some impression of him. He also appeared at his father's funeral, but he did not come in to pay his condolences. At that time, I only thought he was Takenaka

The lord's entourage did not ask more. Judging from the fact that the monk's robe he was wearing was wet, he probably stood there early in the morning.

In this drizzle.

"Kantaro, have you noticed that person too?" Uncle Yamada asked.

"Well...he's a person from our town?"

"No." Uncle Yamada shook his head decisively.

"Do you want to go over and interrogate him?"

"No need, we know who he is. Compared to that guy, the guest inside is more important."

"Oh, it turns out that Lord Takenaka is meeting the guests, why don't I wait outside first." I was a little disappointed, and I originally expected to talk to Lord Shigeji.

That's right, it seems like I have to wait a little longer.

"No, this is why I came here specially. The man came from Iga and said that your master asked him to bring you something."

"Master has something to give me? Then why don't you just come to me directly? Since you are a ninja, there is no reason to find out where my father's house is, and I haven't carved it.

I'm hiding."

"Mr. Takenaka also thinks this is not simple, but it doesn't seem to be hostile, and he also claims to be your companion, so Taken can't help but think that he is your companion.

Master Zhongda wants you to come and have a look.”

"Uncle Yamada wouldn't leave Master Takenaka alone inside, he is a ninja. If he has ulterior motives for Master Takenaka, then

It's dangerous."

"You don't have to worry so much. Master Takenaka's swordsmanship is not comparable to ordinary samurai. Besides, there are other servants outside the hall.

From, follow me.”

Companion? Who would it be? He said he had something to give me. I remember that I should bring all the things I should bring when I left Iga. Uncle Yamada led me in.

Inside the hall of the residence.

"Master Takenaka, they are here." As soon as we arrived at the door, the ninja wearing light mail spoke with his back to us.

"It turned out to be Uncle Daoshun, and I was still thinking about which companion I was." Although it was just a back, I recognized it at a glance.

"You bastard," the ninja turned around with a helpless look on his face. "I told you not to call me uncle, and I still called me for granted. We are the same

Companion, you can only accept the title of senior to the minimum.”

"If you say you are a companion, others will mistakenly think that I am the same age as you." I sarcastically mocked him without hesitation. Uncle Daoshun still loves Hu so much

Not only that, more concerned about one's age than a woman, this conversation about forgetting one's guests started, Lord Takenaka and Uncle Yamada were also laughing

Get up.

"You said Master has something to give me?"

"Yes, I almost forgot the serious matter." Dao Shun took out a scroll from his arms, "Hey, that's it."

"This is... the secret scroll that Master wants to give me?" I asked after taking the scroll.

"You think beautifully, that's an expulsion."

"Exit!" Lord Takenaka, Uncle Yamada and I shouted at the same time.

At this time, Daoshun sat up and saluted Master Zhuzhong seriously: "Mr. Zhuzhong, Lord Danbo and other leaders have discussed it,

Yu Kanzang's situation of entering Iga is quite special, so they decided to expel Kanzang from Iga by expulsion. Now he is no longer I

He Zhong’s ninja, as for whether Kanzang will return to the Takenaka family, this is a matter between you, Iga Zhong will not ask about it.”

No wonder Uncle Daoshun came to see Lord Chongzhi first instead of coming to me directly. It would be better if you have to explain this kind of thing in person.

"I understand, please let Lord Daoshun tell Lord Tanba that Takenaka Banbingwei thanks Lord Tanba for his tolerance and understanding." Lord Takenaka pointed a little.

head.

"Then, I have been disturbing for a long time, and I have to go back to Iga to reply." Daoshun stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he patted my shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Kanzang, if Iga-jo is employed by forces that are hostile to you in the future, please fight us without any desire or thought, no

Just for me, my companion, and for other companions.”

Although Daoshun said this with a smile, I understand that the person who speaks is as helpless as the obedient. I didn't answer the words, just nodded silently and replied.

answer.

Seeing the follower outside leading Daoshun away, the feeling of powerlessness in my heart became even greater. Ten years ago, my father sent me to Iga, and I lost the son of the samurai.

The identity of the ninja became a ninja. Ten years later, the expulsion in my hand made me lose my ninja again. In the future, I will be a samurai.

I have no idea whether to exist or survive in the form of a ninja.

"This Lord Daosun is not only quite famous, but also seems to be a very amazing senior." Lord Takenaka asked me in a daze.

"Yes," I turned around and saluted Master Takenaka. "Although it seems like a mess, he is very reliable in doing things."

"It seems that everyone in Iga asked you to Kantaro, not Kantaro?" asked Uncle Yamada next to him.

"Well, after I entered Iga, my master gave me this name, and my companions only called them."

"Oh? Your original Chida's surname is useless?"

"Yes, unless you are a powerful master who has been employed for a long time and become a direct ninja, you will only sign a short-term contract with your employer for us.

For ninjas, names sometimes become a burden. After all, we mostly do things that warriors disdain to do, so there is no need to care too much about names.

Take Uncle Daoshun as an example. Some people call him Shirooka Dosuzumi, and some call him Igazaki Dosuzumi, his real surname

He himself never mentioned what it is. And the master often says, "Whether it is a swordsman who should care about whether to leave a name, and a ninja must pursue it.

Only his own ninjutsu.”
