The Akao clan is a genealogy retainer of the Kyogoku family, and is also one of the "Four Families of Jiangbei".

The four clans of Kohoku refer to the four countries of Akao, Yumori, Iguchi, and Isano, and the strength of the four families is roughly equal, and the main sphere of influence is in Ika-gun, Omi Province.

Among them, the Akao family has been oppressed by Asai and Asami for a long time due to the in-law relationship with the Kyogoku family, but it still maintains a master-slave relationship with the Kyogoku family, although this master-slave relationship is mostly nominal.

The Isono clan is mainly attached to the Asami family, but they still maintain a good relationship with the main family, the Kyogoku family, and from time to time they will send someone to send something to Kyogoku Takahiro, maintaining a superficial relationship of respect and inferiority.

And the Yumori clan is different, the Yumori clan fell directly to the Asai family, it can be said that the Asai family is a diehard loyalist, and it has always been the vanguard of the Asai family to suppress Ika County.

The Iguchi clan is different from the other three.

The Iguchi clan is said to have been born in Enryakuji Temple, and it is also said that it was from the Omi Rokkaku clan, and there is even a claim that the Nakahara clan is descended from the Empress Chongjun. Generally speaking, however, the name of the Iguchi clan comes from the position of the "Iguchi Daikan" who controlled the irrigation of water sources in Ika County.

Due to the Takatoki River in Ika-gun, the Iguchi clan, located on the right bank of the Takatoki River, controlled the water source irrigation in Ika-gun, and it has always been a relatively independent country. Neither obeyed nor subject to Asami, as for the Kyogoku family....... That's a joke.

......

Akao Sun Saburo is ten years old this year and is the son of Akao Kiyoyo, the current head of the Akao family.

As a teenager, he showed something extraordinary, once armed with a wooden sword to defeat a samurai of the Akao family. Although I don't know if there is water in it, it is rare just because of its age.

Although Kyogoku Takahiro has no real power, he is also the nominal head of the Kyogoku family, and it is too simple to find a teacher and a few small surnames for his son.

With the reputation of the Kyogoku family, there are too many people who want to come and hug their thighs.

In just three days, the castle was overcrowded. Not only Kita-Omi, but also the samurai of Minami-Omi and Mino next door came. Of course, these people did not come to enlist as Master Saburo's teacher, but they had already made arrangements for Master Saburo's teacher, Jingji Gaoguang, and these people came to send their son.

One of them, Master Saburo is very interested, is Mitsui Chenggang, the lord of Catoe City.

The Mitsui family, where Mitsui Seungtsuna is located, is the "Mitsui chaebol" formed in the Edo period, but at this time, the Mitsui family is just an extremely garbage small wealthy family in Omi Province, and it is not even a wealthy family, because the Mitsui family is now under the match of the Kyogoku family.

The Kyogoku family is already such garbage, and the Mitsui family, which is equipped with the Kyogoku family, can't be described as garbage. In fact, the stone height of the Catie Castle controlled by the Mitsui family is only 720 stones, and of course, the current 17,000 stones of the Kyogoku family's Shangpeiji Castle is not much better......

The Mitsui chaebol is too far away from Master Saburo, and what really interests Master Saburo is that Mitsui Setsuna is the grandfather of Fujido Takatora! Historically, the second son of Mitsui Setsunade once left the Takeda family of Omi Izushi Kai, and after receiving the word "tiger", he returned to Omi Deshi Omi Kunido Tadaka.

Later, he married the daughter of Fujido Tadaka as his son-in-law, inherited the name of the Fujido family and changed his name to Fujido Tiger High, and Fujido High Tiger is the son of Fujido Tiger High.

To the delight of Master Saburo, the son sent by Mitsui Setsuna was none other than Gensuke Mitsui (Fujido Toraka), who was just 7 years old.

In the end, three people successfully became the nickname of Master Saburo, except for Gensuke Mitsui and Sun Saburo Akao, the last person was 11-year-old Saemon Endo.

Endo Saemon was born in the Omi Endo clan, a samurai in the Kamakura period who later settled in Omi. The Endo clan, like the Akao family, was a retainer of the Kyogoku clan at an early age, and the castle was Sugawa Castle located in Mt. Sukawa.

And if nothing else, Endo's son is Naokei Endo, the Fu servant of Asai Nagamasa in history. Of course, at this time, even Endo Saemon was still a half-grown child, and Endo Naokei didn't know which sperm it was at this time......

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara in the fourth year of Daiei, 1524 AD.

The dispute between the Asai family and the Asami family has intensified and has reached the point of irreconcilability. At this time, Kyogoku Takahiro was also brought to Ono River Castle by Asami Sadano, and only Kyogoku Takahiro's family was left in Kamihira Temple Castle.

Asami Sada, on the other hand, clearly wanted to use the name of the Kyogoku family to maintain the situation in Kita-Omi, hoping to get some of the people who were inclined to the Asai family to support him.

However, although the situation in Kita-Omi was unstable at this time, it was not too big a war to break out, because neither Asami Sadanori nor Asai Ryomasa was sure to defeat each other, and both sides were still waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

And although Kyogoku Takahiro is not there, Master Saburo is still insisting on the path of learning every day.

In the backyard of Shangping Temple Castle, the sound of wood hitting kept coming. A small boy was gritting his teeth and sweating profusely waving the wooden knife in his hand, trying to control it so as not to let himself fall.

Standing opposite Master Saburo was the taller Gensuke Mitsui.

Among the three surnames, Akao Sunzaburo and Endo Saemon are both eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers and have good development. Only Gensuke Mitsui, who is only 2 years older than Gen-Master Saburo, will it be fairer to fight against Gen-Master Saburo.

"Alright, let's stop!" At this time, a rough voice came and stopped the duel between the two.

"The Sanlang Mage Hall has made great progress, but the strength is still too small, although there is a relationship with age, but this is not an excuse. As for Gensuke, although the Sanlang Mage Hall didn't defeat you, you never won either, it's a shame! ”

"You're not allowed to eat tonight!"

"Huh?" Hearing the man's words, Gensuke Mitsui suddenly let out a wail as if he was mourning, for a child who is growing up, not being able to eat is simply the biggest punishment.

Master Saburo wiped the sweat from his forehead, came to the man's side, and said loudly, "Master Shi, I ask for an increase in the intensity of training. We used to practice for half an hour a day, but I didn't think it was enough, so I asked for the training time to be increased to two hours! ”

"One hour in the morning, one hour in the evening!" Finally, Master Saburo added.

Hearing Master Saburo's words, a hint of appreciation flashed in the man's eyes, but he still replied loudly, "Master Saburo Palace, are you serious?" You need to know that at your current age, your body bones are not fully opened, and you can't bear such intense training! ”

"Industry is good at diligence and frolic! Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, Master Saburo is serious! ”

"Do you sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime? I have never seen such a talented and enlightened person as Master Saburo, and I will definitely teach what I have learned! Aisu Hisadada, who was just passing by Omi and was valued by Kyogoku Takahiro, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
