Iga's Mochizuki family is a ninjutsu family that has existed since the Genpei era. Although ninjutsu had not yet been formed at that time, and Mochizuki's family name was not born, the ancestors of the Mochizuki family had already been active on the historical stage with the predecessor of ninjutsu, and the ancestor of the Mochizuki family, the first generation of Mochizuki Chiyo Girl, created the five ninjutsu systems of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in one fell swoop with the accumulation of several generations. Therefore, in the Iga country, it has been said that "first the Iga family is hoped, and then there is the Iga Shinobi." In this way, the first Mochizuki Chiyo was revered as the king of ninjas by the Iga ninjas of later generations.

With such a long family name and such a long lineage, the Hope Tsuki family was indeed the most powerful of Iga's many ninja families before the Muromachi shogunate. However, the Mochizuki family suffered one misfortune after another, first the ninth generation of Mochizuki Chiyo was feared by the people in power at the time because of her meddling in government affairs, and then the Mochizuki family suffered a blow because of her meddling in government affairs, and then the successive generations of the head of the family, Ding Danbo, almost broke off the inheritance. When it came to the fourteenth generation of the head of the Mochizuki family, the daughter of Mochizuki Chiyo, it was even more unbearable, and there was only one concubine in the main family. What's even more shameful is that when the Iga ninjas competed for the position of the leader of the Iga Ninja Alliance, the Mochizuki family was actually promoted to the position of the leader of the alliance by the three major upper ninja families, Hattori, and Fujilin because of their weakness.

Of course, this alliance leader is only in name only, and all the Mochizuki family can get is relief from the three ninja families from time to time. But even so, when it comes to such a situation, it is difficult for the Mochizuki family to survive now, and many of the villagers of Mochizuki Village have switched to other ninja villages because of poverty, and they have become complete farmers. For this reason, the current generation of Mochizuki Chiyo also had to bring her daughter Mochizuki Ha to the Hyakchi family, one of the three major Shinobi families, to ask for help.

The house where the Mochizuki family is located in Imahari Town.

The daughter of Chiyo Mochizuki of this generation, who is also the father of Mochizuki Hazy, is walking around the room at this time, half worried about the future of the village, and half worried about his uneasy daughter.

Why did Mochizuki's father call Chiyo Mochizuki such a feminine name? It turns out that in the long-standing ninjutsu family, the head of the family usually passes on the name of the first generation of ancestors, and this Mochizuki family is naturally no exception, whether the head of the family is male or female, all of them are collectively referred to as Chiyo Mochizuki women.

"Father, Ah Hao is back."

"Meet the head of the house." Just when the current generation Mochizuki Chiyo was uncontrollable, his daughter Mochizuki came back with a jump, and of course followed by a relieved Nakanobu Youji.

Chiyo Mochizuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter come back, but she soon felt a sense of annoyance. However, because of the presence of outsiders, he was not good at attacking, so this generation Mochizuki Chiyo first said to Nakashinobu Makichi, who was responsible for protecting Mochizuki. "Youji, it's hard for you to protect Ah Hao, you go down first."

"Yes, Master." Nakashinobu Matsuyoshi quickly retreated.

"Hmph." Chiyo Mochizuki suddenly became serious after Nakashinobu Matayoshi left.

Mochizuki thought about Lingling, and naturally knew that her father was angry and ran around by herself, and hurriedly said coquettishly. "Father, Ah Hao knows that he is wrong."

"You still know you're wrong, where are you wrong? I think I'm wrong, and I shouldn't have brought you to Imabari. Chiyo Mochizuki said angrily when she saw Ah Hao coquettish to herself.

"Father, Ah Hao knows that he shouldn't run around, but Ah Hao also wants to see it here in Imajangacho? It's not fun in the village at all, so of course you have to have a good time here. Seeing that her coquettishness was useless, Ah Hao hurriedly said pitifully.

"Hey." Chiyo Mochizuki also took this daughter of her own, he sighed and said. "Ah, you are the only heir of the Mochizuki family, now that the life of the villagers is so difficult and we have the hope of the whole village this time, Ahyun, don't run around."

"Father, is it really that far for our Mochizuki family?" Seeing the desolation of what his father said, Mochizuki couldn't help but worry about the future of the village.

"It's okay, as long as we get the help of the Hyakchi family this time, we will be fine, after all, how can we say that we are also the alliance leader of the Iga ninjas?" Chiyo Mochizuki was afraid that her daughter would be worried, so she hurriedly comforted her, but the sorrow in her eyes couldn't be hidden. ......

On the second day, Chiyo Mochizuki personally visited the Hyachi's house in Imabari Town. Many people in the world who don't know about ninjas think that ninjas must live in the deep mountains and forests, but in fact, this view is extremely absurd. Ninjas make a living by carrying out tasks on behalf of their employers, so how can they survive in a sparsely populated area? Therefore, the ninja's headquarters, that is, the place where the mission is accepted, are mostly prosperous places, and only ninjas who need to study will go to the ninjutsu training base located in the deep mountains and old forests to study. The Hyakchi family house that Chiyo Mochizuki is going to visit this time is located in the most prosperous street in Imabari Town.

Hyakuri house.

"Lord Mochizuki, why do you have time to come to me? What an honor it is for me to have three doctors in a hundred places. "Although the Mochizuki family is now in decay, it is a famous ninjutsu family after all, so the three doctors of the contemporary hundred places still received him very politely.

"This, this ......," said Chiyo Mochizuki, although she was a little ashamed, still gritted her teeth. Lord Baidi, I have come to look at the moon to ask for something. Presumably you also know that our Mochizuki family is now declining and has not been able to receive the task for a long time, so this time I have come to ask Lord Baidi for help. I hope that Lord Hyakchi can give me some simple tasks to help our village get through the difficulties, please. ”

After speaking, Mochizuki Chiyo slammed her fists and bowed heavily to the three doctors of the hundred lands. The Mochizuki family has indeed been in decay for too long, so that Chiyo Mochizuki, who is the head of the family, kneels to the three doctors of the hundred lands, and he doesn't feel anything. Helping the Mochizuki family and sharing some unsightly tasks to help it continue, it is really an easy thing for the Hyakchi family, one of the three ninja of Iga.

If other weak ninjutsu families came to ask for similar help, the three doctors of Hyakchi would definitely help them without hesitation, but it was not so easy to get to the Mochizuki family. Although the Mochizuki family has been declining for a long time, the ninjutsu inheritance still exists, and this is something that no ninjutsu family in Iga can resist the temptation. The three doctors of this generation have always had the ambition to lead the Hyakchi family to become an existence beyond the upper ninja, and the ninjutsu inheritance of the Mochizuki family is an opportunity for him to realize his ambition.

Thinking of this, the three doctors of Baidi deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said. "Lord Mochizuki, it's nothing to give you some tasks. But there are many adults in my hundred families, and these tasks are not enough.,If I give the task to the Mochizuki family, I'm afraid there will be people in the village who are dissatisfied? ”

"This ......" Chiyo Mochizuki saw that the three doctors of Hyakchi refused to ask for intercession, but he continued. Hey, yes. I heard that Miss Ayu of the Mochizuki family has reached marriageable age, and it just so happens that my son Yoshisuke has not yet married a wife. Why don't you and I get married? Then I have a reason to help you. ”

What does he mean by that? Do you want your son to inherit my Mochizuki family? "Chiyo Mochizuki secretly guessed in her heart the purpose of the three doctors of Hyakchichi. After a moment he asked tentatively. "Does Lord Hyakchichi want His Royal Highness Yoshisuke to be his son-in-law? If that's the case, I'll definitely teach Yoshisuke well in the future. "For the sake of the village, Chiyo Mochizuki can't care about Mochizuki's thoughts at this time.

Unexpectedly, the three doctors of Baidi said with a sneer. "Lord Mochizuki said with a smile, how can Yoshisuke be my only son and be someone else's son-in-law and adopted son? I'm talking about Miss Ah Hao marrying into my Baidi family. ”

"This, please forgive me for not agreeing." Mochizuki is the daughter of the Mochizuki family who has learned various ninjutsu of the Mochizuki family since she was a child, and Chiyoyo Mochizuki will not marry her into another ninjutsu family anyway.

"If that's the case, then Lord Mochizuki-sama, please forgive me for the inability of the Hyaki family to ask for your help." Seeing that Chiyo Mochizuki refused his request, the three doctors of the hundred lands coldly threatened.

Chiyo Mochizuki now understands that the marriage of the three husbands of the Hundred Lands is fake, and his real purpose is to obtain the ninjutsu inheritance of the Mochizuki family and even annex the Mochizuki family.

Thinking of this, Chiyo Mochizuki said angrily. "Since the Baidi family is unwilling to help, then I, Mochizuki, will go to another house for help." After saying that, Chiyome Mochizuki turned around and prepared to leave.

"Lord Mochizuki, if you refuse the help of my Hyakchi family, no ninja family in Iga will dare to help you. As for the other two, do you think they are different from me? Seeing that Chiyo Mochizuki dared to ignore him, the three doctors of the hundred lands said angrily.

Hearing the threat of the three doctors of the Hundred Lands, the three generations of Mochizuki paused, but he quickly left again. The threat of the three doctors of Hyakchichi Chiyo Mochizuki is believed, but the ninjutsu family without inheritance cannot survive forever. In the end, Chiyo Mochizuki left the house of the Hyakchi family with a heavy heart, and the back behind her looked extremely desolate. ......
