It was obvious that there were more ninjas in Fushimi County than any ninjas Asura had ever seen in any of the towns he had visited.
"Fushimi County is the gateway to Kinki of the Land of Fire, so the shogunate has relatively more troops stationed there. Although they usually have other bases, they still go to the county town for a walk during their free time on vacation."
In this regard, Uchiha Josuke explained this.
"...But aren't ninjas separated from the world and unable to appear in front of the common people?"
Asura asked with some confusion.
This is also different from what Fukasaku Sennin of Mt. Myoboku introduced.
"That was an old thing from the time of the Hokage's chaos. Now, under the leadership of Lord Tokumitsu, the shogunate ninjas can directly intervene in the ninja world."
Uchiha Josuke replied.
"..."
This is indeed a bit puzzling to Asura. Why does a ninja who only knows how to lick blood with his sword head deeply intervene in the secular world of the ninja world without causing panic and bloody incidents?
After thinking about it, he came up with an answer: the quality of ninjas has improved.
Otherwise, it cannot be explained why those ninjas in ancient times who were still brave and fierce even under the constraints of the Ninja Sect suddenly became civilized and polite in this era.
For example, there is a question that shocked Asura the most but he did not reveal it for the sake of face, that is, a ninja actually needs to pay for something? !
And the ninjas during the Warring States Period actually fought and killed nobles for their money? !
Although Senju Hashirama who ended the troubled times is one of his reincarnations, the existence of chakra is special after all. Senju Hashirama and Asura Chakra, who have independent wills and souls, are actually two different individuals. However, Senju Hashirama was only deeply affected by Asura's chakra; but even so, it was enough to shock Asura.
"Actually, I am also responsible for the changes in the ninja world today..."
Asura thought dreamily.
Uchiha Josuke still stood aside with a blank expression, but his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
He heard the latest cipher beat drumbeat——
"Lord Tokumitsu has been notified!"
His people have not forgotten him!
His people did not give up on him!
His lord! Tokumitsu-sama, the greatest of the Uchiha clan! He will personally come to save this lost lamb!
At this moment, Uchiha Josuke burst into tears.
"……What's wrong with you?"
Asura also noticed something unusual about Uchiha Josuke at this time.
Due to the presence of heterogeneous chakra, he could feel that Uchiha Josuke's heartbeat was accelerating and tears began to drip from his eyes. This was an abnormality that had never appeared in Uchiha Josuke's body since he was captured.
"The wind was strong, there was too much sand and gravel, I was blinded..."
Uchiha Josuke said calmly.
His heartbeat rate also returned to its usual steady rhythm.
"All right……"
Asura took a deep look and said nothing more.
In this way, with the tacit understanding between the two of them, Asura and Uchiha Josuke continued to collect scenery and observe the local customs in the county. They had a rare quick meal when the lanterns were first lit, and then slowly walked towards the countryside of the county. .
"There are really a lot of drum sounds in the city today..."
Although Ashura's tone was sighing, it also had a hint of meaning.
Uchiha Josuke didn't speak, he just followed Asura's back and moved forward mechanically.
"What kind of person is your master... Uchiha Tokumitsu?"
This was also the first time Asura asked about Uchiha Tokko.
"He is the god of all Uchiha."
Uchiha Josuke replied without hesitation.
In the past few days of getting along, he also figured out Asura's likes and dislikes.
Although Asura likes ramen restaurants that always appear together with United Company stores, he seems to have always harbored an inexplicable "malice" towards United Company, the Shogunate and even Konoha - although this feeling is getting weaker and weaker. But Uchiha Josuke has always been worried about it.
He didn't know where Asura, this unconventional freak, came from.
Maybe it is the secret weapon of the nobles, maybe it is the trump card of the black market, or even the immortals of the so-called holy land. It is not surprising that the rise of the shogunate was too short, and the accumulated enemies have not had time to be cleared away, so no matter where they come from, It's not surprising; anyway, what is certain is that he is the enemy of the Uchiha clan and the shogunate, and that is enough.
"It's a big taboo to treat people as gods!"
Asura said very seriously.
And Uchiha Josuke no longer even thought about perfunctory matters.
His mood had already been swayed by the beating of drums on both sides of the street.
"The Lord has arrived."
"be safe."
"Boundary blockade."
"The Ninja Army gathers."
It was a coded drum beat that Josuke Uchiha could identify.
"Going further south is Kinki, right?"
Asura suddenly asked.
"Yes……"
Uchiha Josuke nodded and replied.
nod?
He was stunned for a moment, and then Uchiha Josuke found that he could control his body.
Although the heterogeneous chakra in his body is still there, it is no longer restraining his body at this time, and his body control and chakra are back!
"Let's go, let's go and have a look together. If we have a chance, I plan to pay a visit to His Highness the Daimyo. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Asura continued to ask questions casually.
"very suitable."
Uchiha Josuke continued to be perfunctory.
"Why?"
Asura asked: "Are the daimyo so easy to talk to now?"
"He will dissolve in water if he doesn't obey."
Uchiha Josuke repeated the point he made before.
In the face of the absolute force of the shogunate, any self-proclaimed noble and long-established bloodline is meaningless; and after Sunagakure ordered the nobles of the Land of Wind to hang street lamps collectively, the ninjas found that the so-called status was meaningless.
For a nobleman, this was perhaps the worst of times.
But for a ninja, this was the best of times.
As for the civilians who don't care much about who the ruler is, they just feel that life is getting better and better.
"It turns out that this is the ninja world!"
Standing at the gate of Fushimi County Castle, Asura sighed and turned back to look at the brightly lit long street again.
He felt that he was suddenly obsessed with this bustling human atmosphere.
Different from the vast and sparsely populated Ninja World in ancient times, and different from the quiet and cold holy land of Mount Myoki, the living Ninja World, full of joys and sorrows, love and hatred, is always so moving.
But if the delay continues, Uchiha Josuke may not be able to wait any longer...
Asura glanced at Uchiha Josuke again, and then walked towards the dark wilderness.
Uchiha Josuke's abnormality and the familiar rhythm of the drum also made him understand something.
But he is not afraid!
Because he is Asura!
Asura, who inherits the blood of the Six Paths Sage and is determined to bring peace to the ninja world for all generations!
After walking along the darkness for nearly three kilometers, Uchiha Josuke stopped.
Asura also cast his gaze into the darkness in front of him.
"You actually sensed it faster than me?"
This surprised Asura.
Uchiha Josuke remained silent.
In his self-perception, the senjutsu seeds originally given by Uchiha Tokko but not yet fully integrated into his own chakra began to heat up faintly, and the heating of the senjutsu seeds also had a rhythm - according to the secret translation, it is: Stop!
His master has finally arrived!
"It seems that you still intend to remain loyal to your master!"
Asura sighed, then shook his head, ignoring Uchiha Josuke's reaction, and just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The heterogeneous chakra originally injected into Uchiha Josuke's body to control his body was taken back by Asura!
Uchiha Josuke suddenly felt his body relax, and then immediately used the teleportation technique to rush to the right!
"Don't be so anxious, I won't hurt you..."
Asura felt a little disappointed.
"Got you……"
A clear voice came from the darkness, "You refused to obey the control of the anti-terrorist forces and forcibly abducted ninjas. Your actions must be judged!"
As soon as he finished speaking, eight flames suddenly shot up all around, illuminating the dark wilderness like daylight.
The heavily armed Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly walked out of the darkness carrying the sacred weapon Flame Dan Fan and a pair of kaleidoscope Sharingan eyes as scarlet as blood.
Uchiha Josuke, who ran to the side, immediately withdrew to the rear under the support of several attendant ninjas. At the same time, after obtaining his consent, as a precaution, the attendant ninjas also strengthened the seal on his body to prevent the other party from getting anything. Backhand.
At the same time, Uchiha Josuke also quickly told the mission information collected in the past few days, and the attendant ninja reported it to Uchiha Tokimitsu through a small wireless headset.
"Asura..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little surprised when he heard the various intelligence information coming from the headset.
He thought it was the Otsutsuki clan lurking in the ninja world who suddenly came out to cause trouble, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a local mixed-blood version of the Otsutsuki descendant...
Moreover, he is also the sworn enemy of his ancestor Indra who has been entangled for thousands of years...
Uchiha Tokumitsu even hit the real ancestor Uchiha Madara without any loss of face, not to mention this Asura who jumped out of a crack in the stone. Not taking action immediately is purely estimating the opponent's strength.
"The development of the ninja world is really changing with each passing day..."
Asura's eyes turned to Uchiha Tokumitsu's ear, where an earphone hung. Due to the sealing and sound insulation of the earphone, there was a slight leak in the voices of the attendant ninjas when they reported the information, which was heard by Asura, who had a strong sense of hearing. heard.
"Isn't Asura a dead person? What? Don't you want to die?"
The Mangekyō Sharingan in Uchiha Tokko's eyes turned faster and faster.
At the same time, Hatake Sakumo's Ninja Scroll also slipped into his left palm.
Asura didn't answer, just looked up at the sky.
Only then did he notice that when he was in the county town, he could clearly see the moon by looking up, but why did he fall into darkness when he left the city and reached the wilderness area?
Let’s explain the problem of Asura’s image creation:
Originally, I planned to make Asura into a character who adheres to the viewpoint of "absolute saintliness and abandoning wisdom, benefiting the people a hundred times, abandoning benevolence and righteousness, and restoring filial piety to the people", so his words and deeds are also designed with this gist in mind. What I want to explain is that , he is not a simple villain, but a simple person. All the seemingly anti-intellectual remarks will indeed make people feel a certain sense of fragmentation. In fact, they are just outdated self-righteousness or preconceptions of old antiques, which can be slowly changed.
But after seeing everyone’s opinions, I simply decided to write more normally.
