Chapter 6: Ninja Movement

After a night of tossing, Ah Xue has been cleaned up.

The most memorable thing in her life was listening to the story all night! Kids, what they love most is to listen to stories.

Hosokawa Clever Maru told her many stories of beautiful women saving heroes, such as "Prince Charming and the Seven Dwarfs", "The Gray Child", "His Highness the Rose", "Lettuce Pipe Collar" and so on.

The tragic journey of the hero and the sacrifice of the beautiful woman gradually introduced Ayuki's thinking to the situation of Ning Wei Hosokawa Senchimaru dying.

[Hmph, Ye Pao Niu's technique is at the level of a god in this era.] Hosokawa Achimaru proudly thought that she could fool a doll with contempt and hostility to the end full of adoring eyes, as if Hosokawa Achimaru was the Ultraman in her heart.

"I give you permission to use the name Mochizuki Snow. I'll call you Cher from now on. Hosokawa Smart Pill said gently: "I swear by the name of the Hosokawa family, I will never fail you in this life, and I am willing to grow old with you." Cher, what about you? ”

"Well, I... Me too. After saying that, Mochizuki ran away with a red face. If Mochizuki Jidong knew that Xiao MM fell into the hands of Strange Shu, he would probably regret his death.

For the next twenty days, Mochizuki took care of Hosokawa Senimaru's diet and daily life like a wife. Hosokawa Senimaru is still busy summoning wealthy families from all walks of life, and now the sports meeting is famous, not only the ninja families of Koga and Iga participate, but also a few local small wealthy families from Yamato and Ise, which are particularly lively.

Looking at the thick register in his hand, Hosokawa Senakamaru's excited hands trembled slightly, which recorded in detail the origins, names, ages and specialties of all the people who came to participate in the conference.

In Iga alone, there are 633 families from 145 villages, and almost all of them participate. It's no wonder that in history, the Iga Kingdom was self-contained and difficult to destroy, and it turned out that every family was a mob. With this list, you can do a lot of things, even if you turn your face in the future, it will be easy to raid your home.

In the early morning of December 20, 1552, the first sports meeting was held, and a half-meter-high grandstand was erected directly north of the stadium in the Ueno Basin, just outside Ueno Castle.

In the center of the stands, there is a delicate small maza, and the white curtains are pulled up on the southeast and north sides of the stands, and the military flags are planted all around, and the curtains and military flags are embroidered not with the two inducts of the shogunate Ashikaga, but with the Matsukasa Ryoshi family pattern of the Hosokawa Kyozhao family.

On the eastern, southern, and western periphery of the Ueno Basin, members of various ethnic groups sat in a circle to watch, and the center was densely packed with contestants, waiting for Hosokawa to arrive.

After a while, he was dressed in a light blue stripe and embroidered with the Hosokawa Matsukasa Ryoshi family pattern. Hosokawa Senimaru, who was holding a folding fan, sat down on the south side of the stand, and the small surname Niu Chiyo knelt in front of the stage and began to hold the opening ceremony, first reading out the opening speech of the conference, followed by 'Recognize the military flag, please take care of the leader.' ’

Ushichiyo pointed to the military flag and shouted, "Whose military flag is this?" ”

"Hosokawa-sama!" A group of immature voices resounded in the sky.

Ushichiyo shouted at Hosokawa Senimaru's prostration, "Who is this leader?" ”

"Hosokawa-sama Yamaga!!" The dense worship was subdued, and the atmosphere of shouting aroused the enthusiasm of the teenagers.

Ushichiyo was about to finish the ceremony and announce the end of the opening ceremony when Hosokawa Senomaru suddenly stood up, waved a folding fan in his hand and shouted, "Who are you loyal to?" ”

"Hosokawa Yamagata Adult !!" The teenagers roared desperately.

Rows of black lines suddenly appeared on the heads of the leaders of the families in the audience, but they didn't care if it was a child's joke, but this incident was of far-reaching significance.

After the opening ceremony, various sports began to be played, in addition to the traditional running and jumping events, additional local characteristics such as shooting, darts, art of war, military law, camouflage, concealment, ninjutsu and so on.

The athletic competition was going on in a tight and boring way, and Hosokawa always felt that something was missing: "Oh, yes, there is a lack of a submission link to praise the athletes of the sports meeting." With a thigh on the shoulder, he called Ushichiyo and told him to go to the audience to convey the instructions for submission.

"Vote? Submission? Uh~Yes. Niu Chiyo only accepted the order, and he didn't understand the meaning of the submission, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Stupid! It's waka! If there is anything you don't understand in the future, please ask questions quickly. When you go to the battlefield in the future, if the order is conveyed wrong, wait for seppuku! Hosokawa Sentomaru reprimanded fiercely.

"Yes! Subordinates know their mistakes! I won't do it again next time, and my subordinates will convey it. "After that, I will convey the instructions for submission.

"Hmm~ Why don't I have one first" Hosokawa Senimaru thought about it and decided to make a good start, calling Mochizuki Xue to whisper a few words and let her serve as the contributor and announcer.

"Kudos to athletes, contributors, Hosokawa Yamaga-sama!" Mochizuki stood in the stands, and the melodious silver bell intoxicated Hosokawa Senimaru, and [I just liked the taste] drooled from his thoughts.

I only heard Mochizuki continue to chant loudly: "Ah~grass~ah~ grass." The sports field is really lively, running and jumping, the athletes are amazing! ”

After listening to this song, there was a sudden silence below, and Hosokawa said in his heart: [It's over, I was originally thinking of making a joke and teasing them, shouldn't it be too bad to take it?] ]

Suddenly, Sokatsu Yoshida shouted, "Good sentence!" What a sentence! The lord has the essence of waka! Suddenly, there was a cheer below, and even more moved to tears?

[I'm rubbing, acting, right?] Seeing this scene, Hosokawa Senimaru felt that it was too fake: "Come, come, come, you all come up and sing a song to increase entertainment." ”

The following suddenly didn't dare to say the left sentence, and the latter sentence was ashamed, and finally saw Hosokawa Smartmaru's face gloomy, so they all confessed and went to the stage to offer ugliness.

[It's indeed a sacrifice of ugliness.] Hosokawa Senimaru looked at them speechlessly, [What a is this, saying that it is a limerick, it is an insult to a limerick. At least my spoof is still rhyme, these people don't even have the most basic rhyme, there are obviously five words in front, but seven words pop out in the back, there is no beginning and no end, and the people below still have endless aftertaste. Now it's Hosokawa Senmaru's turn to have a black line, [Hey, dig your own pit and jump by yourself, it's disgusting to open the door to disgusting—disgusting to home.] ]

Dizzy after the sports meeting, finally no longer have to listen to the crow-like waka, Hosokawa Senimaru felt that his head was going to explode, rubbed his head, and he won't participate in the waka next time he is killed.

"Now for the award ceremony! The shouting came close to the front of the stage. Ushichiyo unfolded a list and shouted, "Nishinomiya Village, Yamato Kunihei Prefecture, 13-year-old Kumanosuke." Kamizhezhi Village, Ashu County, Iga Province, 11-year-old Shikamaru. 11-year-old Sakinosuke in Nakuoka Village, Atsuku-gun, Iga Province. Takimura, Koga County, Omi Province, 6-year-old Toyomatsu Maru. Ishikawa Village, Atsuki-gun, Iga Province, 12-year-old Inokosuke. Ohara Village, Koga County, Omi Province, 10-year-old Tsurumomatsumaru. Dequeue! ”

"Yes!" Six children came out of the queue and knelt down in front of the stage.

Hosokawa Smart Pill stood up in high spirits, walked to the stands, and said condescendingly: "This family has promoted you and the other six people to be my Hosokawa family's small surname, I hope you can do your duty!" ”

"Subordinate! Thank you for the promotion, and I am willing to do my duty for my family! The six children replied loudly. The children's patriarchs also approached to bow and dress, and they were extremely excited to thank Hosokawa Smart Pill for their kindness, and they almost thanked the eight generations of ancestors of the Hosokawa family.

On the other hand, Hosokawa Nobumoto is secretly happy, these six children are actually carefully selected by him, that Kumanosuke is the world-famous Shima Katsutoshi in the future, he was the head of the Tsutsui family in the early Warring States period, and both civil and military are called Shimazuo Near. In the later decisive battle of Sekigahara, it won the "Battle of Kawase River", which was the only victory of the Western Army in the entire Sekigahara War, and became a dazzling pearl in history. And everyone else is also quite accomplished in the future.

At this time, the crowd below was in an uproar, little surname! It's still the surname of the leader! What a shortcut to becoming a samurai in the future!

Looking at their fiery eyes, Hosokawa Smart Pill knew that the goal had been achieved, that is, to let everyone know that some farmers and bandits longed for a lifetime of samurai ranks, and he Hosokawa Smart Pill could give it.

"Wait! Don't do it! A discordant voice broke the boiling atmosphere.
