Chapter Ninety-Seven: Conspiracy
In fact, a branch of the Abbe family, the Kotsu family, inadvertently invented the katana at the foot of Mt. Fuji for many years, and they found that the blade tempered by the snow on Mt. Fuji is not only amazingly tough, but also many impurities will disappear, making the blade more refined.
Mt. Fuji is Japan's tallest mountain, towering into the skies and covered in snow all year round. It is also known as "Seidake" by the Japanese, and is a national symbol of Japan, spanning Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, with an area of 90.76 square kilometers. The whole mountain is cone-shaped, and at a glance, it looks like a fan hanging upside down in the air, and Japanese poets have praised it with poems such as "the jade fan hangs upside down in the East China Sea Sky" and "Fuji white snow reflects the rising sun". Mt. Fuji is surrounded by the "Eight Peaks of Fuji", including Kenmine, Mt. Hakuyama, Mt. Kusushi, Mt. Oichi, Mt. Izu, Mt. Seigi, Mt. Komagake, and Mt. Mitsugatake.
It is said that in ancient Japan, it was the birthplace of ninjas, and many ninjas lived there in seclusion, forming a hidden ninja village, but now it welcomes a group of special guests, led by Yuriko Ono, the actual head of the Ono family, to the top of Mt. Fuji to use the snow there that does not melt for thousands of years to carry out a second tempering of Myoho Village.
"Xiao Zhejun, is it really possible?" Standing at the foot of Mt. Fuji smelling the fragrance of cherry blossoms, Yuriko Ono asked a small, lewd-looking Japanese man.
"Don't worry, Miss Yuriko, although I'm not ten percent sure, seven or eight percent are still there, and even if it doesn't work, it won't hurt a single hair of Myofa Village." The lewd man lowered his head and said flatteringly, occasionally glancing, and the obscene triangular eyes were full of naked desire.
Although he said that, Xiao Zhe Murafu actually has some apprehensions in his heart, since the Snow Refining Method was separated from the Abby family for hundreds of years, there are very few successful people, and now in the hands of his quasi-master, he is still very nervous about re-refining the grandmaster-level blade, but in front of Yuriko Ono, the object of his affection, he has to do it.
"Then please, little Zhejun." Yuriko Ono said solemnly.
This Myoho Village is very important to the Ono family, and now is a critical period for the Downfall Movement, and the Muramasa demonized by the Tokugawa family is their nemesis, if this Myofa Village is appearing in front of the world, then the Ono family will definitely fight for more say among the warlords of all walks of life, and strive for more benefits in front of the future emperor, of course, provided that it no longer opposes its master.
The method of snow refining has not appeared for nearly a hundred years, and even the Xiaozhe family, which has a secret method, has not tried it, and she is very worried, so she repeatedly confirmed this matter to Xiaozhe Villager.
"It's an honor to work for Miss Yuriko." Xiao Zhe immediately said excitedly, his whole obscene face turned red, and it was his greatest honor to be able to contribute to the goddess.
Hearing the assurances of the villager, Yuriko Ono's eyes flashed with a little firmness, as for those obscene eyes, she could only secretly keep them in her heart, as the so-called accounts are not afraid to be calculated, and the anger in her heart will be washed away with his blood.
They are marching from the direction of Izu Highlands, you must know that this Fuji Mountain is the birthplace of ninjas, and the ninjas supported by the Ono family also have rivals, and the relatively empty plateau is not conducive to concealment, but it is not a good place for sneak attacks, unlike those with mountains, rivers and trees, you can hide your own line at any time, considering this, Ono Yuriko and his party would rather walk a little more, rather than tense their nerves anytime and anywhere, and guard against sneak attacks.
Yuriko Ono and her party skirted the erupting caverns at the foot of Mt. Fuji and slowly made their way along a ravine formed by a volcanic eruption, a hidden mountain path that the Otsu family had worked hard to open up for generations, and which was rarely discovered by anyone except a few hunters.
Although it is a little rugged, but it is not a 'road from ancient Huashan', compared to some famous mountains and rivers in China, it is much easier to climb Mount Fuji, and Yuriko Ono and his party are all practicing family members except for Xiao Zhe Murafu, and their physical fitness is so good that Mt. Fuji is not difficult for them, even if Xiao Zhe Murafu has been forging weapons for many years, he has also trained a good body.
Yuriko Ono finally arrived at the meeting place before the sun went down under the guidance of the village man, which was a forging workshop left by the predecessors of the Ozhe family, and some of the applications were still complete, but the fuel was not lucky, so they had to rely on their backs to carry up the mountain.
"Miss Yuriko, how do you think we are resting today, how about starting forging tomorrow?" Looking at the sun that had sunk in the west, the little Zhemurafu, who hastily ate some dry food, came to Yuriko Ono and proposed.
"Okay." Yuriko Ono frowned slightly, looked at the tired faces of the people around her, and had no choice but to give the order to rest.
·······
"Tsuchi-kun, do you think Yuriko Ono can succeed?" A burly Japanese ronin asked Ichiro Dohi, a slightly emaciated kendo master beside him.
"Success? It's not that I look down on her, and I can't figure out what the situation is, so I hurriedly look for someone to conduct a second exercise on the Miaofa Village, I'm afraid it will be successful, and this Miaofa Village will also have more symbolic meaning than the actual meaning, but can a symbolic Village be called a Village? Ichiro Tsuchichi snorted coldly, his gloomy eyes full of sinister smiles.
"But you have to know that the Snow Maiden in the hands of Ieyasu is made of the method of snow refining, it is really pure and flawless, and it is extremely sharp, as if it was carved from ten thousand years of cold ice, and Xiao Zhe Murafu is known as the most promising figure in the Xiao Zhe family to become a grandmaster, I think I am still sure that Miao Fa Village is being forged twice." Yasuo Inagawa didn't know what Ichiro Dohi was so sure of, so he couldn't help but find a reason to refute it.
"Grasp? Inagawa-kun, you haven't touched grandmaster-level items, you don't know the magic of grandmaster-level items, and they all have their own noble souls, how can you allow a quasi-master to blaspheme, besides, can the people who follow Yuriko Ono hope that she succeeds? Ichiro Dohi looked disdainful, as if he had seen the end of a farce.
"Aren't we going to stop it? Miss Yuriko is not kind to us. Yasuo Inagawa was shocked and realized that his companions were a little weird.
"Stop, why do you want to stop it, Yuriko Ono wants to kill herself, who can save her, is it Myofa Muramasa or something else, do you think that the Koga-ryu ninja sent Myofa Muramasa over with some kindness, she will die no matter what, otherwise the Ono family will not be expected to be dominant under the witness of those princes." Ichiro Dohi held his katana and looked through the hole, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said quietly.
"You mean Miss Yuriko Ono is hopeless?" He has always maintained a little respect and admiration for Yuriko Ono, and he really can't bear to let her die like this.
"It's not just her, the entire Ono family is now facing an unprecedented crisis, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, 'shoot the first bird', the current Ono family because of Ono Yuriko's strength, there are too many enemies, Miaofa Village is just a fuse, an excuse, as for the 'downfall' will be completed sooner or later, those warlords will not care about this little time, they still wish that more partners would be eliminated." Ichiro Dohi talks eloquently, as if he is not a Japanese ronin, but a wise man who can strategize.
"Then, let's run away now." Yasuo Inagawa's face immediately turned pale, and he looked around suspiciously, as if an invisible crisis was approaching.
"Inagawa-kun is not the time yet, I hope you will cooperate with me to capture Myofa Muramasa at that time, that is our close assets." Ichiro Dohi comforted Yasuo Inagawa and said.
Although he was somewhat despised for his cowardice, Ichiro Dohi still had to cooperate with Yasuo Inagawa, he was the number one kendo master in the whole of Japan, and his strength was unfathomable, and he was more sure of himself in capturing Myohomuramasa.
"Tu Feijun, have you already thought of a way out?" Yasuo Inagawa asked in surprise.
The endless escape is not what he Inagawa Yasuo wants, and now he is used to living a comfortable and luxurious life, how can he stand the life of the rivers and lakes, you Ichiro Tsuchichi must give me a bright future, so that I can sell my life.
"Well, it's the Fukuda family." Ichiro Dohi nodded, as a partner, there was nothing to hide.
"But the Futian family is just a medium-sized family, I think the Ohara family is good." Yasuo Inagawa looked at Ichiro Dohi with some confusion, and he really couldn't understand why he would choose a small family with a little name.
"A small family? Inagawa-kun, you underestimate the Fukuda family too much, it's a family that has been passed down in Japan for thousands of years, a thousand-year-old family, since the 'Downfall Movement', so many small families have been wiped out, but the Fukuda family is still standing, don't you see a little bit of cattiness? Ichiro Tsuchichi said with a sneer.
"You mean..." Yasuo Inagawa looked at him in shock.
"That's right, so I hope Inagawa-kun can work with me." Ichiro Dohi replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, Tufei-kun." Yasuo Inagawa nodded heavily.
