The time came the next evening, and according to custom, Ueno Hiya gathered all the scattered clansmen back to attend his daughter's engagement ceremony.

Iga doesn't have too many complicated rules for this, it's just to get together for a meal and announce it, after all, it's just an engagement.

However, this thing, which should be carried out step by step in the eyes of everyone, has an accident.

In the lobby of nearly 1,000 square meters, hundreds of Iga ninjas sat on both sides, Ueno Hiya sat on the top of the main seat overlooking the bottom, and Kanhara Kansake, dressed in a white kimono, sat under the main seat, no more than five meters away from Ueno Hiya.

Now the atmosphere can be described as quite serious, although it is engaged, no one dares to speak and talk to each other, everyone is silently waiting for something.

Ten minutes later, people with such thick skin felt a little embarrassed, and the main lord hadn't come out yet.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and have a look."

Ueno, who was sitting on the main seat, bowed slightly in apology, then got up and walked to the tea room in the back.

And in the tea room next to the main hall, Junko Ueno, who is dressed in white, loses her temper with a middle-aged woman, who has been tormented by frequent golden bee larvae during this time, and she has lost a lot of weight.

"I'm not going! He originally agreed to me with this purpose, what kind of father is he, I won't get married this time! ”

The woman looked helpless, she was Junko Ueno's biological mother, named Kiyoshi Ueno, she understood her daughter's temper, even if she was extremely weak, her temper that exploded at that point was not half a point, and she was about to get engaged, so she went on strike at this juncture.

"Do you think I'm selfish?"

Just when Junko Ueno was furious and shouted that the marriage was not over, Ueno Hiya pulled the door and entered.

He looked indifferent, walked up to Junko Ueno and sat down, and Junko Ueno, who was still angry just now, looked stiff, squirmed his mouth and didn't speak.

It was the awe of my father from childhood to adulthood.

But Junko Ueno didn't speak, but Ueno Toiya did.

"I know what you think in your heart, you feel that I have lied to you, that I am taking advantage of you, that I have no regard for your feelings for the sake of this patriarch position."

Hearing this, she was furious, and for the first time she mustered up the courage to ask her father, "Isn't it?" ”

And Ueno Feiya admitted without even thinking about it: "Exactly right." ”

He then said: "But what can I do, your brother is not angry, you can't inherit the position, then it can only be up to him, Iga is not the first time to absorb newcomers, I still have this capacity, although this patriarch is an outsider, but the next one is still our Ueno lineage." ”

What he meant was that Junko Ueno understood exactly what he meant, and that the 'next term' referred to her and the children after Kamiharakan.

Although it sounds good, she thinks it's good that Kamihara Kan is in charge of Iga, but this time the succession is not something that Ueno Feiya can decide with a word, it is for Kamihara Kan to take a life and fight down.

And for some reason, it is difficult for Shen Yuanguan to take over, internal and external troubles, and in her eyes, it is simply a life of death.

Therefore, this sentence completely annoyed her, and she pointed at Ueno Feiya and roared angrily: "Are you sick, is it so important that the position of patriarch has always been held by our family?!" You selfish bastard! Can you even take advantage of your daughter's happiness?! ”

Junko Ueno's words even Kiyoshi Ueno was taken aback, she had never seen Junko Ueno lose her temper so much, is this still the well-behaved and lovely daughter she used to be?

But Ueno Feiya was not only not angry, but smiled: "Speaking of selfishness, aren't you the same?" You can even ignore your own interests, you can even do without your own life, and protect an outsider with all your might, from this point of view, your selfishness has surpassed me, so you are the one who is sick. ”

Junko Ueno didn't refute, looking at Ueno Toiya's eyes with extreme disappointment.

"I know how high the mortality rate of the ninja war is, as long as I don't get engaged to him, he won't be eligible to participate, your plan, your abacus, don't even think about it."

"Then I can't help you, Golden Bee, send Miss back to rest, and I'll deal with it outside."

The Golden Bee, who had been watching the battle for a long time, nodded, "Yes, General." Then he took off a gold ring in his hand and broke it into a needle and walked to Junko Ueno.

Seeing this, Junko Ueno hurriedly struggled violently, "What are you going to do, don't listen to him, he...."

But she practiced so much that she couldn't use her legs, and most of her kung fu was wasted, and her body was weak and even a medical worker like the Golden Bee was no opponent, so the Golden Bee just gently thrust it into her neck, and Junko Ueno fainted.

Watching the golden bee push Junko Ueno away, Kiyoshi Ueno sighed deeply and looked at her husband.

"Is that really good? She's going to be angry with you, and I've seen that kid too, he's a nice guy, he's handsome, he's only 17 years old, and you're going to send him there..... Although Junko is a little extreme, it's true, he's not from our family after all, there's no reason to work hard for us, he's still too young...."

"Small?" Ueno sneered.

"Don't you see him killing people without blinking, being able to carry a signboard and shoot dozens of guns, smashing people alive into meat sauce. Have you ever seen someone he killed? The sternum is attached to the back, and a punch into the wall can't buckle it. ”

Thinking of the photos that Junko Ueno got from Wu Shitian in the two days he was hospitalized, Ueno Feiya snorted coldly: "I won't talk about what happened to him before, you are interested in checking it yourself, few people who have fought with him can survive, whether it is heart or strength, he is much more ruthless than you imagined." ”

Hearing these words, Ueno Kiyoshi was a little flustered, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"No, he looks very... Gentle, I've always felt that Junko has a vision, and can find such a good match, how can I listen to you, I feel a little weird, isn't this no different from the people in our clan. ”

"It's really a woman's opinion, with long hair and short knowledge, if I didn't know his ability, I would have gone to him specifically, and offended the Wu clan to let him marry Chunzi? It's not about finding a foreign aid for our family to fight. ”

"And his bloodline is also very strange, the Wu clan seems to want to find him to breed... But that's none of my business, and I'll not have to worry about it anytime soon. ”

"You mean?"

"If he can come back alive, he will be the lord of Iga, and the Wu clan will naturally negotiate with him. If he dies, it will be a hundred, and the Wu clan will not let me hand him over. ”

Ueno got up and walked outside.

"It's all up to him."

It didn't take long for Ueno to return to the main seat of the banquet, glanced at the people in the audience, and spoke.

"The little girl is not feeling well, and she can't attend today's engagement ceremony, but as a parent, I can naturally make decisions for her about marriage, and I will help her decide this matter."

The people below were all relieved, and they were all about to fall asleep, and they also had their own things to be busy with, and they couldn't keep consuming them.

Then someone brought a tray with a pair of half-moon earrings, made of some gemstones, crystal clear, and exuding a faint flush.

Kamihara Kan took one of them, in fact, he thought it was weird for men to have their ears pierced, but this is a traditional custom of other people, just like exchanging rings, he and Junko Ueno have one each, and they will change it on the wedding day, and it will be completed.

He pressed the nail to his left earlobe, and a bead of blood flowed out, and the earring was firmly attached to his left ear.

"Licheng."

The woman holding the tray next to her shouted, and Kamihara also got up and prepared to go down.

"Wait." Ueno Hiya spoke, stopping the Kanhara view.

"I still have something to announce, so I'll wait a minute."

He beckoned Kamihara Kan to sit beside him and looked at the audience.

"You also know that the little girl is not feeling well and cannot fight for Iga, so this matter is handled by her fiancé, who is Kamihara-kun."

As soon as Ueno Feiya's words came out, the faces of the people in the audience changed.

In fact, not many people know about the fact that Kamihara is going to participate in the battle of ninja, because Ueno Feiya never said it, and only a few people like the Five Senses guessed it.

It stands to reason that they don't really want to intervene about who Ueno Feiya sends to fight, and the left and right are also one less position among the ten, even if this kid's strength is not good, it will not have a great impact on the team of ten people.

But it's not that simple, especially at this juncture.

The reason is that Ueno Feiya is about to abdicate, he has been the patriarch for twenty years, and now his term of office is approaching, if it is not for the battle of ninja, the selection of the next general should be in full swing to start preparations.

According to Iga's clan rules, the position of patriarch can only be held by men, and Ueno Hiya's son is notoriously wasted, and although his daughter has good abilities, she can't get to the top no matter how much credit she makes.

In this way, the selection of the next patriarch basically has nothing to do with the Ueno family.

"As you know, my term of office is also approaching, just in time for the Battle of Ninja, so I decided to use this Battle of Ninja as the evaluation standard to elect the next Lord of Iga."

Sure enough. ’

Many people secretly said in their hearts, and it was indeed the case.

This is not paving the way for the Kamihara Temple, making the position of the Iga patriarch an internal determination of their Ueno family, and they don't believe it if they are killed.

The position of the lord of Iga is like a wolf pack choosing the head wolf, and only the strongest wolf king is qualified to take the throne, but before that, the older wolf king still has a great advantage in terms of power rotation.

There have also been cases in history where a family has been re-elected for several terms, relying on the support of the older generation.

However, this kind of power exchange cannot always be hereditary, so that one day Iga will rot into a stagnant water, usually for several generations at most, and there will always be other more fierce and strong giant wolves to counterattack the throne.

But that was later, Ueno Toiya is undoubtedly the strongest male wolf in the last fifty years, and he wants to decide the next one, and no one is qualified to oppose it, but they still have a chance sooner or later.

At this moment, a person who had been sitting below silently drinking sake in a cup stood up, drank it down, and walked to the aisle and knelt down on one knee.

"Since it is the general's decision, we have no objection, but my subordinates have a small question, whether this little brother's strength is qualified to be with us, I don't mean anything else, I am afraid that he will see blood and pee his pants when the time comes, and lose the prestige of Iga."

Her tone was quite respectful, but anyone could hear the mockery in and out of her words.

When Kamihara turned around, he saw that the man was wearing a dark green vest with a large open collar, wrapped in a white bandage around his chest, and the brown hair on his head was tied high.

At this time, seeing that Shen Yuanguan turned her head, her movement of kneeling on one knee remained unchanged, her head was slightly raised, and a red light flashed in her single eye covered by long bangs on her beautiful face, and her mouth seemed to be cracked with a cruel smile.

Kamiharakan frowned, and when he came back to his senses, he only saw a lowered head, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

The hundreds of people in the audience changed their expressions when they heard this, generally speaking, even if they felt that Ueno Feiya was wrong, they would not attack him face to face, after all, he was the lord of Iga, and he didn't even have this credibility on the surface, so how could he control it in the future.

Including the previous five senses to trouble the Divine Origin View, it is already an extremely dangerous behavior, and it is possible for Ueno to kill them if they are not pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, Ueno stood up, a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at the people below, his hand slowly pressed on the hilt of the knife, and he didn't say a word.

As soon as the two of them got up, the atmosphere was completely frozen.

Not far away, several people sitting together were also communicating in whispers.

"It's the Naroku clan."

"It's still the Naraku clan who has already been out of school, it is said that in order not to disgrace Naraku's name, those who can't reach the teacher assessment when they become adults will be killed, so although they are few, everyone who appears in front of the world is strong. Although this girl looks young, she is definitely a legendary ninja master, because the condition for Naraku's apprenticeship is to be proficient in all ninja tools, have absolute domination over the body, and the use of environment, psychology, and skills must be at the peak. ”

A few people in the five senses are whispering, and they don't know much about the Naraku clan, but no matter how powerful they are, they won't openly question Ueno Feiya's ability to choose people, isn't this looking for death.

At this moment, a voice came from the pillar behind the five of them.

"I have some inside information here, her father also died of illness not long ago, it was a wound left by the last ninja battle, and now she is the only one left in the entire Naraku line..... For her, this ninja battle is the best opportunity for revenge and fame, she will make trouble here regardless of the general's face, because she does not allow trash fish to interfere with her revenge, well, I don't mean you when I say trash fish, don't get me wrong. ”

"Who?!"

Bat Ear was frightened, his ninjutsu ability can even hear the sound of a person's heartbeat, and even can perceive a person's position and state in sound wave positioning, but he was sneaked to this distance without noticing, if he wanted to kill him, he was already a dead man.

He looked left and right, and even went around the pillar to take a look, not to mention people, and he didn't see a single ghost.

And the voice disappeared as if it had never been there.

Just when he looked suspicious, and was even about to shout about the enemy attack, the frog eyes who were still the eldest brother were well-informed, and it was he who had told many secrets of the Naraku clan before, and said at this time.

"Don't look for it, it's Shadow Guard, he wants to hide it only in the sense of emptiness in Koga Sanzhi, in a way, those guys are no different from the dead, the temperature, the smell, the heartbeat and the breath are all gone... Not even with killing intent, do you know what that means, if he wants to kill you, you won't even notice that there is such a person until he stabs a knife into your heart. ”

"How can there be such a person! It's not scientific. ”

Hearing this, even the bat ears who knew that many people who grew up in Iga and had seen a lot of strange magic were shocked.

"There's nothing unscientific, you have to pay if you get it, the death rate of the Shadow Guard's practice is as high as 95%, and the lifespan of survival is definitely not more than forty years old, but each of them is a dark ninja in the true sense, a master of assassination. Hehe, I've heard my father say that they can even hide in someone else's shadow to complete the assassination. ”

After listening to the frog eye, the snake tongue bat ear and the mole nose swallowed their saliva, and quickly looked down at their own shadows, and only relieved their hearts after finding that they did not hide a person, but they secretly said in their hearts why there are so many monsters, and compared to them, they are simply normal people.

The only silent spirit touch silently raised his head under the cloak to look at the Naraku clan, his technique was not very afraid of the threat of the Kagebei in a way, so he was more concerned about what Ueno Hiya would do to the Naraku clan.
