Having seen the colorful darkness of the outside world, the rich and ugly world outside the mountains, Sarutobi Sasuke was no longer used to the boring life in the mountains.
She couldn't help but jump down from the tree and murmured to herself.
"Why don't you just go back? That idiot Nobushige Sanada can't do anything well. Without my care, he will turn into a beast like Umino Riichi sooner or later."
She tried to convince herself, took a few steps, suddenly froze her body, and shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no, it's too embarrassing to go back like this. She will laugh at her forever."
She couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"What should I do, ahhh!"
———
When Sarutobi Sasuke was worrying about face issues and feeling melancholy and embarrassed, not far to the south, two climbers were getting closer and closer to her.
South of Mount Asama is the easternmost point of Toshin, the main road connecting Ueno Country.
The Karuizawa Basin here is surrounded by mountains, connected to Mount Asama to the north and Usui Ridge to the east. Passing the Usui Pass to the east is the southern part of Nishi Ueno.
Yuri Kamanosuke wiped the sweat from his head and said to Miyoshi Izo behind him.
“Did you see that, in front of you is Asama Mountain, and after passing Sentaki Waterfall, you will reach Koga-ryu’s training ground in Toshin.
Our transaction is completed, and you and I will never see each other again! "
After Yuri Kamanosuke finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Miyoshi Izo blocked her with a long climbing stick. She glared angrily.
"I have brought you to Asama Mountain, what else do you want?"
Miyoshi Yisan pointed straight ahead and said.
"Take me up."
"I told you I'd be there in front, go up by yourself, don't you still believe me?"
"Well, I can't believe it."
Yuri Kamanosuke became angry and reached for a weapon behind his back. Miyoshi Isan showed no sign of weakness, holding the stick in both hands and preparing to fight.
Seeing how calm she was, Yuri Kamanosuke was immediately discouraged. If he could defeat Miyoshi Izo, why would he come to Shinano to lead the way?
She withdrew her hand and said earnestly.
"Master Jiji, you must be more reasonable, right?
It's not that I don't want to go up there, it's just not safe up there. The Koga-ryu would choose this place as their training ground because it is very dangerous.
A volcano erupts when it wants to erupt, a cliff collapses when it wants to, and is buried alive by a landslide halfway through. Who am I to argue with? Isn't the money you gave me enough to buy my life?
I worked hard to accompany you to Shinano. It is not easy to climb mountains and eat chaff all the way. Now that everything has been done, there is no way I can deal with you in the end, right? "
Yuri Kamanosuke said it sincerely, and Izo Miyoshi recalled what this man did along the way and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm afraid you'll make the last move on me."
The chest is stagnant and distended with the help of sharp sickle.
"What the hell... Okay, got it, I'll send you up!"
I can tell you, this is a famous gate of hell, a place where even the nearby mountain people will not come.
I can't get food here, and I don't want to meet anyone on the road! We can only rely on hunting and wild fruits. . "
She was spraying foam as she walked, and in the middle of her words, Izo Miyoshi hit her shoulder with a stick, interrupting her words.
Yuri Kamanosuke said unhappily.
"what?"
Miyoshi Isan's stick pointed forward.
Yuri Kamanosuke looked up and saw a mountain man wandering under the tree in front of him, shaking his head in loneliness.
Her face suddenly turned red, she spoke too fullly, and slapped her face too quickly, she said bitterly.
"You wait here, I'll go grab some food."
Miyoshi Yisan shook his head helplessly.
She is not a pedantic person either. Just as Yuri Kamanosuke said, the mountain people are tough on this journey. It's impossible to sell food for sale. If you dare to be polite, they will dare to rob you in turn.
All the food on the road was grabbed by Toisho Nosuke, and Miyoshi Isan followed behind and threw some copper coins of equivalent value to buy it.
As they continue to go deeper into the mountains, the paradise in Miyoshi Isan's heart has collapsed. She doesn't know what to do next? When the paradise is no longer there, what’s the point of coming to Shinon?
Therefore, Miyoshi Isan refused to let Yuri Kamanosuke leave. Trust is just an excuse, what she fears is confusion, leaving this beeping bandit at least not alone with his wild thoughts.
Yuri Kamanosuke doesn't care what the noble lady of the Wu family behind her is thinking about heaven and earth. She is a bandit and she just wants to live well.
As she approached the sight of the mountain people on a familiar road, her pace gradually changed, and she lowered her head to cover her face with her hair, which really gave her a masculine charm.
This is a skill she has practiced hard.
The fewest people in the mountains and wilderness are men. The mountain people are so poor that they can't even eat. How can any man be willing to suffer with them? Certain desires can only be suppressed.
But human nature cannot be suppressed if one wants to. After three years of not smelling manliness, in the eyes of these wild women, the old boar has become a beauty.
Rikanosuke has mastered the art of pretending to be a man. Whether in the Suzuka Mountains or the Koshin Mountains, I never missed a beat.
Mountain people will despise a man the first time they see him and feel lust for him. The moment they relax, it's the opportunity for Risama to take action.
The moment Yuri Kamanosuke staggered and fell in front of her, the mountain man was also caught in the trap.
She quickly stepped forward to help the fake man of unknown origin, but she didn't realize that Yuri Kamanosuke's hand had already clenched its claws and was about to climb up to her throat.
Yuri Kamanosuke lowered his head to hide his face, faintly revealing a triumphant smile.
At this moment, she only felt the coldness on her neck. A shuriken appeared in the mountain man's hand and was placed on her neck.
She swallowed and raised her head to meet the mountain man's half-smiling eyes.
"How did you find out?"
"Please pretend to be a man next time and don't show your neck. You don't even have an Adam's apple. Who are you kidding?"
Yuri Kamanosuke retorted angrily.
"It's normal for a young man not to have an Adam's apple! How can ordinary people see it?"
The mountain people laughed.
"Yes, I am not an ordinary person, but Sasuke-sama Sarutobi."
Yuri Kamanosuke looked at her with crooked eyes, what a stinker.
Sasuke Sarutobi brought his shuriken closer to her neck and winked.
"What? Not convinced?"
Yuri Kamanosuke ignored her and shouted directly.
"Boss! Help! I missed it!"
Sarutobi Sasuke raised his eyebrows.
"So there are accomplices?"
Yuri Kamanosuke snorted and sneered.
"Don't run away if you have the guts. You will be unlucky if you encounter our two females from Mount Asama. When my boss comes, I will cut you into pieces."
She threatened Sarutobi Sasuke severely in an attempt to scare away this strange mountain man.
Sasuke Sarutobi looked strange when he heard what she said.
"You said you are the twin females of Mount Asama?"
"That's right! This is our territory. If you like it today, I'll let you go.
Get out of here quickly, lest I change my mind. My boss is not as easy to talk to as I am, so get out of here! "
Yuri Kamanosuke was speaking harshly, when a person jumped out from the weeds on the mountain road behind, it was Miyoshi Izo.
Sarutobi Sasuke saw her with her head wrapped and dressed like a nun. Although he was embarrassed in the mountains, his demeanor was still calm, unlike ordinary bandits.
