Chapter 57: The Source of Tyranny
"What are you going to do?" Shinsuke Taketori asked cautiously.
"I'll personally take someone on a trip and go to Wuyin to get the pension back!" Rokuzawa said with a serious face.
"This won't work, it won't work!"
Taketori Shinsuke immediately objected when he heard this, and said: "Now that the patriarch is missing, and the four elders have also died, it is all up to you, my lord, to support the overall situation." ”
"Such a dangerous matter shouldn't be left to you at all, just let us deal with it!"
"If something happens to you, then there is really no hope for our clan!"
It is very dangerous to go to Wuyin to receive a pension, and Liuze must not be allowed to get into danger.
"But if I don't go, which of you can take on this heavy responsibility? I'm afraid that before the pension arrives, you will take the lead in killing in the fog! Rokuzawa couldn't help but shake his head.
The Taketori clan is warlike and murderous, and has a violent temper, especially because this character flaw will be magnified with age.
He really didn't feel at ease about letting this group of people carry out such an important task.
Because of this, when they were in Wuyin Village, they had constant friction with the village, creating countless disputes, and finally they were all exiled and established a small village here.
And their character flaws are not born, but acquired.
Its root comes from the innate blood inheritance limit of the 'corpse bone vein'.
As we all know, the 'Corpse Bone Vein' gives them great strength, but they also have great flaws of their own, and it is difficult for them to live for another fifteen years after awakening the 'Corpse Bone Vein'.
In other words, when the 'corpse bone vein' awakens, the lives of the Taketori people enter the countdown.
However, there is no way to solve this defect in the clan, and those who have awakened the 'corpse bone vein' can only watch as they slowly die.
As time passes, they give up on themselves and become more indulgent.
And the result of this indulgence is to make them moody, perverse, and will start with others if they don't agree with each other.
In the end, the character flaws of being warlike and murderous and hot-tempered are also developed.
Of course, their tyranny is only aimed at outsiders, and they are quite kind and normal to their own people.
After all, they also have wives and children.
If they are so presumptuous in the clan, when they die, the days of their wives and children can be imagined.
It is precisely because of this 'short-lived' characteristic that the Taketori clan has great respect for the elders in the clan.
Because the old people are all members of the same clan who have not awakened the 'corpse bone vein', they will shoulder the responsibility of continuing to protect the clan after the death of the awakened, and pass on their rich experience and experience.
The reason why Rokuzawa was able to dominate the whole clan so smoothly was mainly due to the two important factors of the same clan and the 'elder'.
You must know that in the hearts of all his clansmen, he was an extremely experienced 'elder' who lived to the fourth ninja world war in his previous life.
Hearing Rokuzawa's words, Taketori Shinsuke couldn't help but tighten his face.
He also knew the temperament of many of his kind.
is already perverse, and at this moment, they are deliberately stuck in the distribution of pensions by Wuyin, their mood can be imagined, once they arrive in Wuyin Village, they will inevitably make things out of control.
After pondering for a moment, he said tentatively, "We can specially select some clansmen who have not awakened the 'Corpse Bone Vein' to form a team, and then go to the Fog Hidden to bring back the pension. ”
The clansmen who have not awakened the 'corpse bone vein' are generally more stable and will not mess around.
"But can you keep them safe? I'm afraid they can't even get out of the foggy gate with that large sum of money! Rokuzawa glanced at him and said.
It's easy to get into the fog, but it's hard to get back with a lot of money.
That's tantamount to a child walking in the downtown with a thousand gold.
"This ......"
Taketori was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but whisper: "Otherwise...... Let's just give up that money......"
Compared with the two, he still cares more about Liuze's safety.
It's not like money.
"But what about the bereavement in the village? Without money, how do you let those orphans and widows live? Rokuzawa looked at the clan in front of him seriously and asked.
Ninja is not a producer, it is a purely force agency.
The Fog Hidden Village depends on the offerings of the entire Water Country to survive, while their Taketori clan depends on the Fog Hidden Village for their survival.
Without the distribution of resources on the Wuyin side, it would be difficult for them to feed so many people with the strength of their clan alone.
Not only that, once they give up this time, it means that they show weakness to the fog hidden side.
It is likely that the fog will continue to repeat their old tricks, testing again and again, in order to coerce them and manipulate them at will.
So, they can't give up and have to get the money back.
"That'...... Then we can go and collect supplies directly from other towns in the Land of Water, and we don't need to look at the face of the fog hidden at all! Taketori Jinsuke said hatefully.
"If you really do that, my Taketori clan will be tantamount to direct rebellion, self-isolation, don't want to survive in the land of water!" Rokuzawa shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes it is worthless, and sometimes it is very important.
As long as the Fog Hidden Village is still there, it will be the center of the armed forces of the entire Water Country.
Although their Taketori clan was banished from the fog, they did not quit the fog and were still a member of the fog, so they could justifiably obey the fog and take a part of the resources of the water country to support the fog.
But if they bypass the fog and collect material resources directly from other towns, it is illegal, it is a banditry, and it is tantamount to rebellion.
When the time comes, the fog hidden side can instead call on all the ninjas and kill them justifiably.
Even because their status has changed from legal to illegal, the entire Water Nation will boycott them, and they will really have to rely on hard grabbing if they want to obtain resources from other towns.
By then, there will be no place for their clan in the entire Water Country.
"This ......"
Hearing Rokuzawa's words, and then thinking of the terrible consequences that might result, Taketori Shinsuke couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He was thinking too simply.
Seeing this, Liuze shook his head and sighed: "It's better for me to take someone on a trip myself!" ”
"With me, the people won't mess around."
"And I have a rough plan in mind."
"If there are no accidents, you should be able to come back safely with the money."
"But since you already have a plan, why don't you leave it to everyone to execute, you don't need to take any risks, my lord!" Taketori Shinsuke persuaded again.
"No matter how good a plan is, it needs people to execute it! Without me, this plan would have been hard to execute! Rokuzawa had a serious face.
His current prestige can subdue his people, so that they will completely obey the command and not let themselves go.
If it were someone else, that's hard to say.
"......"
"Alright, just do as I say!"
Without waiting for Taketori to persuade him again, Rokuzawa interrupted him and said, "You immediately notify the Wuyin side and ask them to prepare the pension, and we will go to the Wuyin to collect it on a later date." ”
"Yes!"
Helplessly, Taketori Jinsuke could only answer, and then quietly turned around and left.
