Because of the relative proximity, in less than a day, Suzume reappeared near Iga Hide.

"Suzume-sama!?" Seeing Suzume, the ninja who was in charge of patrolling and guarding around the hidden area was surprised.

"Tetsuya, are you in charge of patrolling today?" Suzume stopped and looked at the patrol ninja and his squad that came out of nowhere, smiling and chatting.

"Yes, Suzume-sama just returned from a mission?" Tetsuya also asked casually.

"No, I'm here to discuss matters with Inukai on behalf of my master. By the way, is Inukai-sama at our hospital now? Suzumi suddenly remembered that now was not the time for small talk, and quickly retracted her expression and asked Chao Zheya.

"Yes, can I tell you something?"

"No need, I'll just go over myself."

Then he said "I'll go first", and disappeared from Tetsuya again, running to the main courtyard of the Fubo Headquarters, where Inukai was located, and arrived at the courtyard in a short time.

"What people!" Inuikai, who noticed the movement, asked with a serious face.

"It's me, Inukai-sama." Suzumi flashed and greeted Inukai with a smile.

"Suzume, why are you back?" Inukai put away the action in his hand to prepare for the attack and the weapon in his hand, and looked at Suzume in surprise.

"I'm here to negotiate with you, Inukai-sama, on behalf of my master." Suzume replied.

"Negotiations? What to talk about? Inukai frowned.

Because he suddenly found that when Ling Nu mentioned her master, that is, Qin Heqing, her attitude became very unsimple, full of her own tone, but when facing him, she was more estranged.

This was different from what he had thought when he handed over the bell girl to Qin Heqing, and it was a little too unexpected.

"About Iga's future." Suzumi said solemnly.

"Future...... It's a big breath, and I want to see how he affects my future in Iga. Inukai snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction, and said to the bell girl.

"Then Inukai-sama really needs to listen to me carefully." Suzume said seriously.

Then he didn't talk nonsense, and told all the information he knew about Qin and Qing, that is, the relationship between Qin and Qing and female daimyos such as Imagawa Yoshimoto and Takeda Shingen, as well as their influence, and even their current plans and plans, as well as their thoughts on Iga, to show the strength of Qin and Qing's forces, as well as the importance and threat of the other party to Iga.

Inukai then fell silent, frowning, and thinking about Iga's choice.

Until a while later.

"Are you sure what you're saying is true?"

"It's all what I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, so can it be fake?" Suzume asked in surprise.

"In other words, Qin Heqing and Imagawa Yoshimoto really have the idea of using troops against Iga?" Inukai reconfirmed.

"Even if it won't for the time being, after Niwa Nagahide gets Ise and Matsunaga Shu takes Kii, he shouldn't let us go right between Yamato, Yamashiro, and Ise."

"If you know so much, why did you notify me before things went completely bad?" Inukai asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Even if I say it in advance, you can't take the whole of Iga with you, right?"

Especially after knowing that Koga defected to Matsunaga Hide, as Koga's competitor, it is impossible for Iga to stay in the power of Koga ninja anymore.

It's not about hatred - the historical Oda destruction of Iga Again hasn't happened yet, there's a fart hatred.

Not to mention, even in the original history, there was no so-called feud between Koga and Iga, only simple industry competition.

So there must be a conflict or something, but to say that the two sides don't die after they meet, and like in some anime works, there is no such thing as wanting to kill each other.

It's almost the same as thinking that the other party is declining, or that he is dead.

Inukai was silent again.

"In addition, when I was following the master's activities, I found out the whereabouts of the young master of the Hattori family." At this time, I only heard the bell girl standing in the hall suddenly remember something and said.

"Hattori Hanzo?" Inukai was surprised.

"Yes, he joined the door of Matsudaira Motoyasu, the current head of the Matsudaira family, and led many family ninjas of the Hattori family, as well as the ninjas he trained on the Mikawa side to serve the Matsudaira family, and he is very trusted by Matsudaira Motoyasu." Suzume introduced.

Matsudaira Motoyasu ...... That's his choice? How could he choose that person to take refuge in? Inukai wondered.

Now it's not like this time in history, because of the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Matsudaira Motoyasu was able to get rid of the identity of the proton family and completely become independent from the Imagawa family, showing his special side, so it's no wonder that Inukai can't understand the choice of Hattori Hanzo and even the Hattori family.

"Then I don't know." Suzume shrugged.

"But it's also an opportunity." Inukai pondered.

After all, the Hattori family plays an important role in Iga's influence, especially among the ninjas, and if they are used as a model to attract firepower, it is not impossible to say that Iga's ninjas have taken refuge in Imagawa Yoshimoto's command.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is not Matsunaga Hide, and she doesn't have any of Koga's ninjas under her.

Even if Matsunaga Shu is her retainer.

On the contrary, it can better set off Iga's awesomeness - you see, our Iga is directly loyal to the shogun, what about you, Koga? can only be mixed under the hands of the retainers under the hands of the general, and comparing the two, isn't it obvious who has better development.

"You stay in the hidden place for now, and wait for my news." Dog feeding.

"Then it's going to be a hassle for Inukai-sama." Suzume laughed.

……

At the same time, on the way from Koryo County in Sagami Province to Osumi County, the Hojo clan, who was in charge of conquering Sagami Country and turning it into his own territory, frowned at the rain girl who was looking into the distance and wondered, "What are you looking at?" ”

"What's that place over there?" The rain girl looked at her and asked rhetorically.

"Over there? Wait, who's, do you know what that place is? Hojo Yasuchi turned his head to ask his subordinates beside him.

"Over there, I remember it was so-and-so city." The subordinate replied.

"You hear me." Hojo Shiyasu looked at the rain girl.

"Then let your people be careful, there's a very strong demonic aura there." The rain girl retracted her gaze and looked back at the direction that was shrouded in the black clouds in her eyes, that is, the strong demonic aura.

"Demonic spirit? You're saying there's a youkai there?! Hojo Shiyasu jumped when he heard this, and said with a little surprise in surprise.

"Not necessarily, but there is a good chance that it is." The Rain Maiden replied.

"Shhh...... That's true. Then he unceremoniously said to his subordinates, "Pass the order, let everyone be careful, our next battle may not be as easy to win as before." ”

"Yes."
