Oda Nobutada is 20 years old this year and has been a samurai for 9 years, and in these 9 years, he has been thinking about one thing all the time, that is, why Oda Nobunaga did not hand over the position of young lord to himself. can think about it, Oda Nobutada can only think of one point, that is, in Oda Nobunaga's heart, he, Oda Nobutada, is not as good as his sister Oda Nobutada!

Even Oda Nobunaga has never appointed anyone else as the young master, and in Oda Nobutada's heart, it has become that Oda Nobunaga is still looking for an opportunity, so that the retainers of the Oda family can accept the opportunity of Oda Nobuna to become the young master and lead the Oda family in the future. Otherwise, why did Oda Yoshinobu take Oda Shinna to Korea? Isn't it just to brush up on the merits of war?

You must know that in the past two years, because Japan has become peaceful, the only thing Oda Nobutada can do is the governance of Mino and Owari. Well, the merit of governing the world is also a merit, but even if Oda Nobutada governs them well, what can he do?

You must know that these two realms are the initial place of Oda Nobunaga's rise, and they can be said to be the same existence as the base camp of the Oda family, even if there is no Oda Nobutada, just send someone with a little governance ability, and it will not be far off. It's as if a territory that had grown to more than 80 has become more than 90 under the governance of Oda Nobutada, is there a difference? Of course there is, but the distinction is almost impossible to discern.

But what about Oda Shina? Although most of the time in the Korean country is also governing the territory, the territory over there is still in ruins! Any movement can be clearly seen. Not to mention that every time he cooperated with Ming Guo to go on an expedition to the Northern Barbarians, Oda Yoshinobu would let Oda Shinna lead the team.

Perhaps, Oda Yoshinobu did this just to train Oda Shinna, because after becoming Oda Yoshinobu's woman and giving birth to a son for her, Oda Shinna once again developed a great passion for the samurai path. But in Oda Nobutada's view, this is undoubtedly helping Oda Nobuna brush up on meritorious deeds!

Otherwise, why are the Seventh Elders and the Seventh Elders completely ignoring the fact that the position of the Young Lord has been vacant? Isn't it because Oda Nobuna's martial arts have surpassed Oda Nobutada's?

In this regard, Oda Nobutada was full of unwillingness and anger, but he did not show it, and continued as usual, except for the more and more trips to Mt. Hiei.

It's funny to say, the eldest son of Oda Nobunaga, who can be called the number one enemy of Buddhism, but he is a devout Buddhist. Maybe he was infected by his deceased mother, Geina? Every time Oda Nobunaga went on an expedition, Yoshino would take the young Oda Nobutada to the temple to pray.

However, Oda Nobutada did not go to the temple to pray, but because every time he was here, his restless heart became calm. And in the past few years, as his troubles have become bigger and bigger, his temper has become worse and worse, and he has been going to the monastery more and more often. Most of the time, though, his destination is Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei.

The reason is simple: Mt. Hiei is a sacred mountain of Buddhism in the whole of Japan, and there are countless monks here, and talking to them can help Oda Nobutada learn many things while calming his mind.

And among these monks, Oda Nobutada bothered the most often was the ignorance and ignorance of the two. Both of them are high monks in Enryakuji Temple, but more importantly, the two of them are almost omniscient about governance, military affairs, strategy, etc. For not knowing this, Oda Nobutada is not surprised, after all, I don't know that it is Takeda Shingen's legal name after becoming a monk, but I don't know ......

However, Oda Nobutada didn't ask much about this, but just treated him as an ordinary monk, after all, this world is not without masters who live in seclusion.

"The kid is here to disturb the two masters again." Oda Nobutada said respectfully.

"Well, you kid, you've been coming too often lately, haven't you? Looks like it's been here four times this month? Ignorance shook his head and said, while looking at the unknown to the side.

"It's five times, alas, I don't know if you're really old and confused~" I didn't know how to shake my head and sighed, but my expression was unusually happy, as if it was a very interesting thing to see that I didn't know how to become so forgetful.

"Humph! I just don't have any idea of time anymore. You know, I'm only 4 ...... Anyway, it's 9 years younger than your old bald donkey! I retorted angrily.

Hearing this, he immediately fought back, and the two half-aged monks mocked each other so unscrupulously, while Oda Nobutada just stood silently aside, as if he had long been accustomed to all this.

I don't know how long it took for the two to stop arguing, turned to look at Oda Nobutada, and asked, "Tell me, why did you come this time?" ”

"Yes, the kid came here this time to ask the two masters some confusion about Sun Tzu's Art of War." Oda Nobutada said respectfully.

Hearing this, the two did not refuse, in fact, this kind of thing has been staged countless times. About an hour later, Oda Nobutada respectfully said goodbye and left.

Looking at Oda Nobutada's gradually disappearing back, he shook his head and sighed, "What a poor child, I'm afraid he hasn't found out until now, he has completely lost the position of Oda family governor, right?" ”

"yes...... I have to say that Oda Nobunaga's hard work is in vain, and even if it goes on like this, it may even crisis the Oda family. I don't know the same sigh.

"Hehe, isn't this exactly what you wanted? If Oda Nobunaga really dared to do that......" Ignorant chuckled.

I just heard the words I didn't know, but I just shook my head lightly, "Without absolute certainty, I will never act." The last defeat made the Takeda family lose the opportunity to dominate the world, and this time it will fail again......"

"But when the opportunity comes, you still can't help but do it, don't you? In fact, even I can't help it......" I didn't know how to laugh.

"Haha, I hope there will be more people who can't help it when the time comes~" I don't know how to hear the words also laughed.

Oda Nobutada naturally didn't know all this, and he was still indulging in the fantasy that he would show more powerful abilities and be appointed as the young master by Oda Nobunaga with an overwhelming attitude.

It wasn't until halfway through the walk that an unfamiliar voice sounded not far away, "Oda-sama, the villain is a retainer of Lord Matsunaga." ”

"Senator Matsunaga? Lead the way. Oda Nobutada froze for a moment, but nodded anyway.

Speaking of which, because Oda Nobunaga resigned from his official position, Mori Terumoto and others, who were the seventh elder and the seventh elder, did not follow the resignation, but they did not express any thoughts about the official position. Only Matsunaga Xiu has always maintained a close relationship with the imperial court, and has sat all the way to the position of the fourth senator.
