Chapter Fifty-Six: Returning Home to Guard
At this time, seeing Liuze go home, several neighbors next to him also poked their heads out of the window to watch.
"Rokusawa Dai...... Adult ......"
One neighbor hesitated, but used an honorific title anyway.
"It's okay, just call me 'Rokuze'!" Rokuzawa smiled and waved his hand.
They are neighbors on the left and right, and they have known each other for many years, so they shouldn't be too angry.
Hearing this, several people in the window were overjoyed.
"Your parents would be happy if they saw you now!" An aunt said loudly.
Although she didn't understand why Rokusawa had built up such a deep prestige among his fellow clans after returning from the expedition, it was not a bad thing after all.
Judging from the current situation, it is not impossible for Rokuzawa to become an elder in the clan.
That's a lot of promise!
"Well, I'm sure they'll be proud of me!"
Rokuzawa nodded vigorously, then turned around, opened the door and walked in.
Because the house has not been inhabited for a long time, and no one has cleaned it, there has been a lot of dust on the floor, and when he steps on it, he will immediately leave a conspicuous footprint.
However, he did not stop there, but walked all the way to a shrine in the main hall.
Looking at the man in the black-and-white photograph enshrined in the shrine, he hesitated for a moment and bowed on his knees.
"Father, I'm back!"
He continued the life of 'Taketori Rokuzawa', and also took over all the causes and effects of 'Taketori Rokuzawa'.
Therefore, he should still show considerable respect for this nominally deceased father.
Then, he carefully took out a scroll from his body and slowly opened it, revealing a series of intricate black runes inside.
It was a seal scroll that sealed the ashes of her mother, who had died in battle.
After solemnly forming a seal, Rokuzawa condensed the chakra in the palm of his hand, then pressed it on the spread scroll, and silently poured the chakra in his palm into the scroll.
"Solution!"
With a soft snort, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the center of the scroll, and a wooden box was revealed.
It was my mother's urn.
"I've brought my mother back!"
"From now on, she will always be here with you!"
"Come to think of it, you two won't feel lonely anymore!"
After glancing at the photo in the eye niche, Rokuzawa carefully placed the urn inside.
"As for me, you don't have to worry!"
"I will take good care of myself and lead the Taketori clan into a new era!"
Ten hands saluted again, and he finished his final prayer.
Then, he stood up and began to clean the house.
The dust in the house is too thick, and it needs to be cleaned up before anyone can live there.
After spending nearly half an hour cleaning up, Rokuzawa didn't waste any more time and started his daily practice in the courtyard.
Although it is more dangerous to fight continuously these days, he is also quickly absorbing the various combat experience and skills possessed by this body in the battle with the enemy.
By this day, he had mastered everything this body had ever had.
Whether it's ninjutsu or physical arts, they have reached the normal level of a lower ninja.
However, due to the awakened 'Corpse Bone Vein' Blood Inheritance Limit, his actual combat power is stronger than the original 'self'.
Although his mastery of the 'Bone Vein' is not yet proficient.
After practicing for a long time, he felt that his physical strength had been consumed, and then Liuze stopped.
Just as he was about to get something to eat and replenish his strength, there was a crisp knock on the door outside.
Knock knock!
"It's comingβ"
Curious, he hurried towards the front door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Taketori Shinsuke outside.
"Anything else?"
With doubts, he let the other person in.
"Well, I do have something to discuss with my lord!" Taketori nodded.
"Then go inside and talk about it!"
Rokusawa closed the door and led him to the hall inside.
After sitting down cross-legged, he gestured to Taketori Shinsuke and asked, "What's the matter, tell me!" β
Taketori Shinsuke sat down and bowed his head, "Now that the situation is tense, the safety of adults is even more important to our clan. β
"Therefore, after discussing with many shinobi in the clan, we unanimously decided to arrange a guard force to secretly protect your safety."
"This ......"
Rokuzawa wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, with his current strength, he really needed someone to protect him.
"How many did you send?" He immediately changed his tone and asked.
Taketori Shinsuke replied seriously: "In addition to me, there are a total of six shinobi, all of whom are strong in the clan. β
"They will be divided into two teams in groups of three, and the adults will be protected in turns twenty-four hours a day."
"Twenty-four hours? Wouldn't I have no privacy at all? Liuze suddenly felt a little headache.
It's a good thing to have someone to protect, but being there 24 hours a day feels like surveillance.
"It's all for the safety of adults, please bear with me!" Shinsuke Taketori persuaded again.
At this moment, the patriarch is missing, the four elders are dead, if even Liuze has an accident, and there is no leader in the clan, the result can be imagined.
"That'...... All right! β
Rokuzawa had no choice but to accept it.
"By the way, how did you do with the things I asked you to arrange?" He asked, shifting the subject.
"Everything has been done! It's just ......" Taketori Jinjie wanted to say and stopped.
"Say!"
Liuze immediately motioned for him to continue.
Taketori Jinsuke lowered his head and said helplessly: "It's just that the pension over there may be some trouble!" β
"They refused?" Rokuzawa asked, narrowing his eyes.
If they refuse, it means that both sides will completely tear their faces, but this will not do any good to the fog, and will only make the situation more chaotic.
It stands to reason that the top management of the fog should not have made such an unwise move.
"No, they didn't refuse!"
Taketori Shinsuke shook his head and said with a wry smile: "They said that now the internal situation in the fog is tense, and there is no extra manpower to escort the pension, so we have to go to the fog to collect it ourselves." β
"Humph! They're really calculating! β
Hearing this, Rokuzawa couldn't help but let out a sneer.
Wuyin didn't dare not give it, but he didn't want to give it very much, so he deliberately came up with such a problem.
They were sure that with the current situation, the Taketori clan would not dare to send someone into the fog to receive a pension casually.
But that's exactly what happened, because of the rebellion in the previous life, the Taketori clan formed a lot of grudges in the Fog Hidden Village.
Coupled with the current unstable situation, they rashly entered the fog, and with a generous pension, they will inevitably become the target of everyone's coveting.
If there are fewer people who go, it is likely that the money will not be returned, and the people will have to stay there; But if there are too many people going, it is likely to trigger a full-scale war and make the situation out of control.
The high-level Wuyin wants the Taketori family to take the initiative to give up this large pension.
