Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Reality of the Qimu Family!
"I don't understand what Mr. Mifune meant......
Qimu Shuomao closed his eyes and was silent for a few breaths before squeezing out such a sentence.
"You understand!"
"Qimu Shuomao, I will secretly tell you the news of the death of the rope tree after I have someone pass it on to you."
"You are not surprised by the death of the rope tree, and it is not even much of a surprise to hear that the internal organs of the rope tree have been hollowed out."
Mifune drank the tea in his hand, and his eyes shone like a sword about to be unsheathed! Observing Qimu Shuomao's reaction was ordered by Gen Shenji, but he also got a copy of the information after the actual observation.
"I don't know what you've been thinking about in the past three months, but I know very well that you don't know anything about the darkness hidden under Konoha yet!"
Mifune spoke slowly, then pulled out a booklet from the lining of his clothes.
"Check it out!"
"This is a personnel change in the Qimu family, after reading it, whether you pretend not to understand or really don't understand, you should understand what I mean."
Mifune pushed the book in his hand in front of Hachiki Shiroshige, who looked at the booklet in front of him. He didn't know when his fists had clenched, but his eyes were still trying to keep their peace.
"The Hachiki family used to be a samurai family, and Mr. Mifune should know what is most important to a samurai family!"
After taking a deep breath, Hachiki Sakumo raised his head to look at Mifune in front of him. There is no need to open the booklet in front of him, he knows better than anyone that the personnel of the Qimu family have changed!
"Loyalty!"
"The first thing a samurai must abide by is loyalty!"
"This kind of loyalty is the loyalty of giving up life and forgetting life and death! This is also the reason why the samurai are not the mainstream of the ninja world, and they are not even powerful, but there are still daimyo and even wealthy merchants who raise samurai. ”
Mifune took Hachiki Shuo Shige's words and continued to speak, a samurai has been practicing the concept of loyalty since he began to train and practice as a samurai, absolute loyalty! If it weren't for this, Mifune wouldn't have observed Hachiki Sakushige for three whole months at all.
"Since Mr. Mifune knows, then Mr. Mifune should understand that it is impossible for me to betray Konoha!"
Hachiki Shuomao's fist slowly loosened, and he had to admit that the conditions offered by Mifune were very tempting, very tempting! It's just that I don't know why, after Hachiki Sakumo rejected Mifune's invitation, he was relieved in his heart?
"What about the Qimu family's allegiance to the Iron Country?"
"If I want to find it, I should be able to find the samurai allegiance of the ancestors of the Hagi family in the dossier of the Daimyo's Mansion, right?"
Mifune didn't show much surprise when he listened to Hachiki Shuomao's refusal, if he really recruited Hachiki Shuomao so easily, he would look down on Hachiki Shuomao even more.
"You also said that the Qimu family was a former samurai family!"
"Because of the limitations of the times, the era did not understand the practices of the ancestors of the Hagi family, and was rejected by the entire Iron Country samurai school. In this case, the Qimu family can leave the Land of Iron. ”
"Then why, the Qimu family is on the verge of extinction in the Fire Country, and the Qimu family can't leave the Fire Country again?"
Mifune pulled the file in front of him back to him, and he didn't look at Hachiki Shuomao's reaction, but just opened the file by himself.
"Sixty years ago, the Qimu family left the Iron Country, and there were eighty-six direct members and more than one hundred side members."
"The turmoil of the Warring States and the nature of the samurai family kept the number of direct members of the Hachiki family at about 40 for the next 20 years, and the number of sons-in-law and collateral members within their relatives remained at about 100."
"Until the Qimu family joined Konoha, there were thirty-eight members of the Qimu family on record, and the side members could not be counted."
"In the tenth year of Konoha, the number of members of the Qimu family remained at forty-five, and at that time, it was your father who was the head of the family, right?"
"From the tenth year of Konoha to the twentieth year of Konoha, because of the defection of Madara Uchiha, the direct members of the Hachiki family fluctuated to about forty."
"Coupled with the outbreak of the last ninja war, the direct members of the Qimu family have directly dropped to about twenty!"
"But it's not a meaningless sacrifice, the Qimu family exchanged their own children for the status of the Qimu family in Konoha, although it is not as good as the Uchiha and the Hyuga clan, but it can also be regarded as a medium ninja clan, and it can be regarded as having the right to speak in Konoha."
Mifune looked at the records of the Hagi family in his hand, and it was the first time that he felt the darkness shrouded under Konoha's so-called will of fire so deeply.
"Twenty years after Konoha and Sarutobi took office, the members of the Qimu family continued to decrease."
"Suppress the ninja clan and support the civilian ninjas? But since the ninja clan is suppressed, it doesn't seem that the Ape Fei family has lost much after Ape Fei Ri took office? On the other hand, the Qimu family, including Konoha's so-called pig, deer and butterfly family, seems to have been weakened to some extent? ”
Mifune looked at the information in his hand, and his body was sitting up straight unconsciously.
He seems to have seen something different in this piece of information!
The three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly are the supporters of the Ape Flying Sun Chop, and at that time, the Qimu family was also approaching the Ape Flying Sun Chop, and it stands to reason that these families who are close to the Ape Flying Sun Chop should not be suppressed.
But in this piece of information, it is clearly recorded that after Ape Fei Ri took office, the three Pig Deer Butterfly families and the Qimu family have a certain degree of weakness. Others only think that the ape flying sun slash is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but the three boats look at the support of Qimu Shuomao and even the three families of pigs, deer and butterflies for the ape flying and killing the donkey, and this statement does not make sense.
"There's another force in Konoha that is suppressing the ninja clan, isn't it?"
"By the thirtieth year of Konoha or so, there are only seven or eight people left in your Qimu family, and the records of the others are all deaths in the line of duty?"
"Being able to assign tasks, it seems that the other force of Konoha is also quite large, and it can even influence the decision of the ape to fly the sun to a certain extent?"
"Plus this ninja world war!"
"Your Qimu family, plus you and your son who was born not long ago, there are a total of four direct members of the Qimu family?"
"So, what are you guarding with Sakushige?"
Mifune looked at the information of the Qimu family in his hand, and when he looked at Qimu Shuomao, his eyes were already a little weird. Good guy, do you know that Konoha is killing people with a soft knife, but you still stick out your head to let Konoha do it?
"Enough!!"
The emotions that Qimu Shuomao had been suppressing finally broke out at this moment, and only blue and white were left on his face. He knew that the Qimu family was constantly weakening, and he also knew who was targeting the Qimu family.
But what could he do?
Since you've joined Konoha, isn't it normal to perform missions as a ninja?
The task is heavy and dead, and I can't find much fault with it, after all, the ninja villages of the five major countries, when will they not be dead?
"Is that enough?"
"It's not enough!"
"Whose turn do you think will be after these people are dead?"
"The three families of pigs, deer and butterflies are in the same breath, and if you want to move one, you have to face the reaction of the other two. But your Qimu family is just a single tree, and if the forces of Konoha want to weaken the influence of the ape flying sun, the best one to start with is the Qimu family! ”
"Originally, this weakening plan has been very successful, and if you don't make a name for yourself, it's not impossible for that person to let the Qimu family survive. But now that you're famous, what do you think the person who has been targeting your Qimu family will do? ”
"Two of your two kindreds will die!"
"You're going to die, too!"
"Maybe in the end, your son will die too!"
Mifune didn't care about Hagi Shiroshige's reaction at all, he just tore open the bloody wounds of Hagi's family to let him see more clearly!
