Chapter IV Tasks

Spying on the information around the lord has always been a taboo for a minister and a son. Once the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is discovered, the position of the heir of Shui Wuyueqi may be shaken as a result. It's just that Shui Wuyue Jingjia is now about to marry the patriarch and will soon become the head mother of the family. In this case, even if he knew that the risk was very high, Shui Wuyueqi could not tolerate that he continued to be ignorant of the situation around the patriarch.

According to Shui Wuyueqi's original idea, he wanted to obtain information through his biological sister, Shui Wuyue Qianxia. Qianxia is not only the eldest daughter of Cangdou, but also the disciple of Shui Wuyue Jingjia, so she is really a very good spy candidate. Shui Wuyue Kai was originally going to generally persuade his sister Chixia before setting off on the mission, and after the mission was over, he would officially start collecting information with the help of his sister Chiatsu's power after returning, and then determine the next countermeasure.

It's a pity that after the conversation between the two, Shui Wuyueqi found that even if her sister Qianxia agreed to her request, she was probably not able to help her in a substantive sense. Moreover, using her sister Chixia is also likely to put her in a dangerous situation.

Therefore, after weighing it, Shui Wuyueqi finally decided to give up the practice of asking his sister to collect information for himself. Fortunately, the two are sisters and brothers after all, and the elder sister has always loved herself, and Shui Wuyue is not afraid that her sister Qianxia will betray herself.

Besides, even if it is known? After Shui Wuyueqi presided over some clan affairs, a group of clansmen gradually gathered around him. Now he is about to be officially appointed as the heir, and although he is only ten years old, he can no longer be regarded as a child.

……

In the blink of an eye, the next day came.

Today is the day when Shui Wuyue Qi officially accepts the mission. As is customary, he will formally accept the mission in the morning, and in the afternoon he will be used to familiarize himself with the subordinates assigned to him by the clan, and only in the evening will he officially set off at night.

It is worth mentioning that the quest for Shui Wu Yueqi is received directly from the family. In fact, at this time in Wuyin Village, a large part of the higher-level tasks were directly "contracted" to the major families.

Because, in the early days of the establishment of the major ninja villages, most of them were actually associations established by several large families and a group of small and medium-sized families. In addition, the ninja village will accept a large number of civilian ninjas to join in, in order to enhance the strength of the ninja village and replenish fresh blood. Of course, it is also used as cannon fodder. And due to inheritance, education and other reasons, although there are many civilian ninjas, they are actually completely inferior to the major families in terms of strength.

Therefore, when the village assigns tasks, the reason why it is obviously inclined to the ninja families is that on the one hand, the current ruling Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon is an outstanding figure from a wealthy family, and it is inevitable that he will be inclined to protect the interests of the ninja families. On the other hand, it is also because there are many difficult tasks that only Hao ninjas can have the strength to complete with ease.

In addition, many ninja families also have intimate dealings with the high-ranking people of the Water Country. These ninja clans grew in strength with the help of material support from officials in the Land of Water, and those officials used the support of the ninja clan to fight their political opponents, and even directly instructed the supporting clans to send ninjas to assassinate political opponents if necessary.

Naturally, such a task cannot follow the foggy task procedure on the surface. So, sometimes, it's actually ninjas from the same village who are fighting each other.

Of course, the tasks assigned to the son of the patriarch were naturally carefully chosen. It should not be too dangerous, but it should also reflect the purpose of the patriarch's entrance examination, especially after Cangdou announced that he would marry Jingjia, and also take into account the thoughts of the future housewife.

Therefore, the person in charge of the distribution of tasks can be said to have picked and chosen, and finally selected three tasks, and was ready to privately let the son of the patriarch choose one by himself, and then take out the task on the surface. Although it didn't do much, it was just right, both to show goodwill to the patriarch's son, and to Jingga that he had not completely thrown himself into the patriarch's son.

It's a pity that in the end, all his thoughts were useless, because he was summoned by Shui Wuyue Jingjia early in the morning, before dawn.

I thought that the future master mother was going to explain something about herself, but I didn't expect that when I got there, I found that the patriarch was also there. It turned out that Cangdou was ready to personally choose the task for his son.

……

By midday, the assignment had finally begun.

Originally, the task was issued by the recipient of the task to take the initiative to collect it at the distribution office. But as the son of the patriarch, Shui Wuyueqi will naturally have some special treatment, which is specially sent to his residence by others. Shui Wuyueqi naturally wouldn't think of taking the initiative to collect it like ordinary clansmen, which would only make others look down on him, and would also arouse his father's dissatisfaction. In the end, it seems that he does not have the "measure" of a patriarch's heir.

After all, this is a world with a greater "disparity" than the Earth world!

In the world where Shui Wuyueqi was originally located, although the resources that everyone can enjoy since birth are different, the physical fitness between individuals is still relatively similar after all. If the people at the bottom are forced to be in a hurry, the people in the upper class will also have the possibility of being overturned.

But in the current world, thanks to the existence of supernatural powers, the nobles at the top can firmly suppress the resistance at the bottom. During the Onmyoji era and the samurai era, the nobles were occasionally overwhelmed by the rebellion of the bottom. However, after entering the ninja era, the rebellion of the poor never posed a real threat to the nobles.

……

After receiving the task, Shui Wuyueqi carefully studied his own task.

His mission this time is to clear out a wandering ninja group on a small island that belongs to the Land of Water, but is closer to the Land of Vortex. It is said to be a wandering ninja, but in fact it is a small group that mixes the water country renegade and the fire country renegade. This kind of rebel ninja gang that can't cause a big mess, the major ninja villages actually acquiesce to their existence in normal times. In Shui Wuyueqi's opinion, this kind of rebellious ninja group is simply regarded as a leveling monster by the major ninja villages.

In fact, the struggles within the major ninja villages are very fierce. There are often shinobi fleeing, and occasionally there are small families or middle ninjas who have failed in political struggles. These rebel ninjas were incapable of establishing independent ninja villages, nor did they dare to penetrate into the interior of other countries, and most of them ended up wandering around the borders of major countries or in the territory of some small countries, making a living as bounty hunters or bandits, waiting to be wiped out by ninjas from their own villages or other villages one day.

Under normal circumstances, no village would accept a traitor.

If the Five Great Ninja Villages do this, it means that their own village's rebellious ninja will also be accepted by other villages, which is unacceptable to them. And if the small ninja village does this, it will have to face the wrath of the five great ninja villages, which they can't bear.

And this time, the target of Shui Wuyueqi's mission is a small family that has lost in the political struggle in Wuyin Village, a small family with the surname Xiangtian.

The Mumada clan used to be a family of onmyoji, and although they caught the last train of the ninja era, they did not develop any powerful techniques because of their late transformation. Later, because he was on the wrong side in the political struggle after the death of the first Mizukage Hakuren, he was finally forced to flee. The Murata clan did not dare to flee directly into the Land of Fire, in that case they would be directly killed by the Konoha ninja or captured back to the village to be used as ninjutsu experiments, but staying in the hinterland of the Land of Water would definitely be a dead end.

So, they eventually fled to a small island near the village of Vortex Shinobi and settled down. At the same time, because their family is passed down by secret art rather than blood, they will occasionally recruit other rebels to include them in the family in the form of marriages.

Of course, they didn't have a career like bounty hunters. In fact, although they escaped, they carried quite a lot of belongings thanks to the vague protection of some people in the Fog Hidden Village.

Although the contender for the position of Mizukage that they supported back now has now died, that faction is still quite powerful. Therefore, the Mukaida family decided to live in seclusion here first, hoping that in the future, the faction they supported would be able to win the position of the three generations of Mizukage or rise again, so that they could also have a chance to return to the village.

Although the various villages did not accept traitors in principle, the Mukita clan was not essentially designated as a traitor village ninja thanks to the help of some people in the Fog Hidden Village. So, for them, there is still room for things to turn around.

It's a pity that the clansmen of the Xiangtian clan, who are still looking forward to returning to Wuyin Village, don't know at this time that they and others have been selected as the training objects of the noble sons of the wealthy clan, and the catastrophe of exterminating the clan is just around the corner.
