Inside the hall.
Under the leadership of Matsushita Shota and Kenichi Matsushita, five Ashigaru with nervous and excited faces knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Ming in the center. "Greetings, House Supervisor!"
"Well, Kenichi, Kenichi, Kenichi, Kenichi, Kenichi … I have seen your hard work in the Ashigaru team. Today, I will accept you as servants of the main family. I hope you will live up to the names I have given you. You must become the blades and swords of the main family!"
"We are willing to die for the main family!"
The five Ashigaru answered loudly with flushed faces.
"Well! As servants of the main family, you can receive a monthly salary of two strings of coins and a portion of rice. Also … I will teach you my kendo! Follow me! "
Wu Ming brought the seven of them to a specially cleared dojo and said in a solemn tone, "What I'm going to teach you is the essence of martial arts that I've comprehended after traveling around for several years. I've named it the Ninja Swordsman Style!"
"The so-called Ninjutsu Swordsman is a secret martial art that I have combined ninjutsu, yin-yang techniques, and kendo. Today, I will teach all of you. You must work hard to cultivate it!"
"Ha!"
The seven people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, almost in tears.
At this time, the Fusang Continent was still a world with a strict class system. As a privileged class, only officials and samurai had the opportunity and privilege to read and write. They monopolized knowledge, especially about obtaining power, which was not open to ordinary people at all.
Here, the difficulty for ordinary people to stand out was simply hellish.
But now, Wu Ming had so easily passed on the seeds of power to them?
"Ah … even if we fall into hell and become evil spirits, we must repay the master's kindness!"
On the spot, the seven men burst into tears, which made Wu Ming secretly feel nauseous.
"Well, you are loyal to the main family. The main family will protect you and teach you martial arts. This is the way of fairness for samurai …"
However, Wu Ming still looked at the few subordinates who had regained their solemnity and said in a deep voice, "Next, I will explain the cultivation of Ninja Swordsman. You must listen carefully, don't miss a word!"
…
"Today's lecture will end here. Go and cultivate well!"
After sending the seven people away, Wu Ming's lips curled into a strange smile.
This so-called 'Ninjutsu Swordsman' was naturally a technique that he had created with the Yin Corpse Refining Art as the foundation and many other miscellaneous things at the cost of all the experimental subjects in the dungeon. Even he did not dare to practice it himself, so he could only hand it over to his subordinates.
For this ninja swordsman, Wu Ming could only guarantee a few things:
Number one, no one would die from training!
Secondly, because it was still a living person, it did not have the fear of sunlight and other restraints of ordinary zombies.
Thirdly, although it was possible to obtain great power, there was no guarantee that as the cultivation progressed, there would be a series of sequelae such as losing the sense of touch and rationality of the body, becoming more and more deranged, liking to eat raw meat, or even transforming into a monster.
Fourthly, even if it eventually became a monster or a madman, Wu Ming could still maintain the most basic control by relying on the Talisman that was planted in the beginning.
Other complications were not that there were no, but Wu Ming himself did not know. He could only feel the stones to cross the river and slowly adjust in practice.
"However … because I need to use a trace of Shutendoji's flesh and blood as a power seed, so the strengthening of this ninja swordsman still has some potential. Level 1 or 2 is not a problem, it is also possible to reach the peak of level 2, or even level 3? Although the probability is so small that it is almost negligible … "
Wu Ming touched his chin, "But what nickname should I give it in the future? 'Tsukuyomi Seven Guns'? 'Seven Demons and Gods'? Or 'Seven Demon Kings'? "
…
At the same time, the fame of Tsukuyomi Tomita Maru and Wu Ming gradually spread.
In a large house guarded by samurai.
"Father!"
A young samurai wearing fiery red shoes knelt in the corridor, "The Kurozawa family spent a lot of money to hire five swordsmen from the One-blade School to assist them in the battle just now. We can only retreat!"
"One-blade School swordsmen?"
The one sitting on the stool was a middle-aged samurai who looked similar to the young man. He was the current head of the Sanada family, Sanada Motonune.
The Iishi District was a large prefecture in the Izumo Country. There were fifty thousand stones, and the Sanada family occupied twelve thousand stones. They were the undisputed overlord.
The rest was divided between the local nobles and the citizens.
Among them, the Sanada family occupied three thousand and five hundred stones, and the Kurozawa family occupied four thousand stones. They were both powerful nobles.
"Father, should we contact Mota City and ask the Majestic Tiger Temple to pressure the Kurozawa family and end this war?"
Sanada Sasuke asked from below.
"That lord looks weak, but he is not so easy to get rid of …"
Hearing this, Sanada Motonune shook his head, "Currently, in the Iishi District, my family and the Kurozawa family have the most stones. I'm afraid that the lord has already been alerted …"
It had to be said that in the Japanese system, the daimyos controlled the emperor, the elders controlled the daimyos, and the samurai controlled the elders. This was the norm.
In the Iishi District, the Kurozawa family and the Sanada family were the subordinates of the Yamada family in name, but only the heavens knew what they were actually thinking.
'To His Highness Yamada, no matter which side wins, it is not a scene that he would like to see. The only way to strengthen the position of the Yamada family is to wear each other down …'
'Sasuke was sent to Mota City as a hostage when he was young, but he was too deeply influenced by the Yamada family. Do I need to change my successor?'
Sanada Sasuke didn't know that his father's seemingly casual glance contained many intentions.
Moreover, if Sanada Motonune was really determined to change his successor, his fate would be very tragic. Whether it was being forced to become a monk, or being exiled, or even being forcibly disemboweled, it was all possible.
'But now is not the time … Let Sasuke inherit the position of the head of the family. This has the support of Mota City and the will of the Majestic Tiger Temple. The main family does not have the power to fight against the Yamada family …'
Sanada Motonune said, "No! How can we let His Highness see the weakness of the main family? Even if we all die in battle, we must abide by the way of the samurai! "
"Then what do you mean, father?"
"Ask for help from the other families?"
"Which noble family nearby has such power?"
Sanada Sasuke was confused, "Even if there is … can the main family afford to ask for their help?"
This was because the Sanada family and the Kurozawa family were already the top noble families in the Iishi District, other than the Yamada family. The other families would not be willing to interfere.
"There is another family! The supervisor of the Gui family, His Highness Guichi Dharma Eye, have you heard of this name? "
Sanada Motonune said.
"Guichi Dharma Eye? The powerful samurai who has the title of 'Divine Demon Help' and has the power of a hundred men? "
Sanada Sasuke thought and said, "Rumor has it that he also has powerful demonic arts or Yin Yang arts. He even defeated Shutendoji and saved the Yamada family's Kiki-kun. Because of this, Majestic Tiger Temple gave him three hundred stones!"
"Although the Gui family is a powerful samurai, the Gui family has just started. If the main family can show goodwill at this time, they will definitely come to our side, right?"
"Then what price is father prepared to pay?"
Sanada Motonune said, "One of your sisters, Xiao Jiang has also reached the age of marriage … How about we use the Kojima family to release this intention? If we can become in-laws with the Sanada family, it will be very helpful to the Gui family's position in the Iishi District! Just be quick! "
"Ha!"
Sanada Sasuke naturally knew why. Such a powerful samurai, maybe the Majestic Tiger Temple has the intention of marrying Kiki-kun. If they did not take action now, it might be too late.
…
"Ha!"
The sword light fell, and a tree as thick as a man's leg was cut in half.
"The ninja swordsmanship taught by His Majesty is really powerful!"
Kenichi Matsushita slowly put away his sword, feeling the growing power in his body, and couldn't help but murmur.
Cutting such a thick wooden stake with one sword, in the kendo stadium, no matter which school, it was the standard to enter the ranks, and could be awarded the title of 'Swordsman'.
And it only took him half a month to reach this step!
Moreover, Kenichi Matsushita also felt that his body's ability to resist attacks and recovery were also constantly increasing!
Although there were some pain and small sequelae accompanying this, compared to the power gained, it was nothing at all.
His Majesty also said that because of the use of ninja arts, the process of cultivation was bound to be very difficult.
But for a samurai, if they couldn't even bear this little pain, it was simply a disgrace to the name of samurai!
"Shouta and Kenichi have already started to inscribe the third rune, I must also work harder! I must swing my sword ten thousand times today! "
Kenichi Matsushita thought to himself.
"Sir! Sir! The Kojima family has sent an envoy! "
At this time, a young man ran over to report.
"The Kojima family?"
As the noble family closest to Tomita Maru, it was natural for the Kojima family to have contact with them. They had already sent an envoy before, so why did they come again?
"I'll go and have a look!"
Kenichi Matsushita came to the entrance of Tomita Maru and saw that it was indeed the envoy from the last time. He seemed to be called Mitarou Kojima, and there were two attendants beside him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, it's you, Kojima-kun!"
"Matsushita-kun! I've been ordered to bring important news to the Gui family! "
Mitarou Kojima said in a low voice, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The last time he saw Kenichi Matsushita, he was just a samurai who had been promoted from a lowly position, and he was full of contempt. But now, he was secretly shocked by the powerful aura he exuded.
