A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 200 The flying kite returns
"Thanks to my lord for never giving up, I, Danzo Kato, would like to join the Asai family and swear allegiance to my lord to the death!"

A few meters away, a dusty man with some blood and scars on his body said so.

Asai Nagamasa immediately laughed out loud: "Very good, Danzo, get up."

"As long as you live up to my family, my family will definitely not let you down. As for what the Takeda family did to you, as long as there is a chance, you may have the possibility of revenge."

Ever since they teamed up against the enemy Hashihime who turned into a demon that day, the other party has continued to move eastward, trying to serve the well-known Uesugi and Takeda families in the Kanto region.

It's a pity that although he is extremely capable, as Asai Nagamasa once said to him before, he is too powerful, even to the point where it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. He enjoys not only admiration and yearning, but also Fear and hatred.

His actual experience also confirmed Asai Nagamasa's conjecture. It was okay in the Uesugi family. He was just politely rejected. The reason was that the Uesugi family's governor, Uesugi Terutora, didn't like people who hide their faces.

But what happened to him at the Takeda family was not so wonderful.

After he showed his extraordinary strength, Takeda Shingen, the governor of the Takeda family, smiled on the surface, but in fact, he just sent someone to lead him to the guest room to rest. As soon as he turned around, he started discussing with his retainers. How to kill him without leaving any trouble.

If it wasn't because Asai Nagamasa had reminded him, and because he was rejected by Uesugi's house for inexplicable reasons, so he had a little vigilance in his heart, he might have really had a bad trip.

Therefore, in order to repay this life-saving grace and for the sake of his own future, he resolutely decided to join the Asai family.

Kato Duanzo held his hand again: "Yes, my lord, I understand."

While speaking, he actually felt somewhat regretful in his heart.

Because when His Highness Asai first started to travel, he was the first person to meet the other party, but because he insisted on going to Echigo and Kai, he didn't directly become an official.

Although it has only been a few months, the treatment I enjoyed when I became an official and when I became an official now will be completely different.
But despite this, there was only regret in his heart, not all of it.

Because he had truly witnessed the power of those two famous figures. The so-called Dragon of Echigo or Tiger of Kai were actually nothing more than that. They could not even contain his own strength and were not as good as His Highness Asai!
Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile and said: "Very good, in that case, you will receive three hundred stones first, and when Ning Ning comes back, Duan Zang can share her tasks with you. She has complained about this more than once. "

Hearing this, Kato Danzo couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

Although she is young, small, and female, in their circle of ninjas, Ning Ning, a female ninja, surprised them both in terms of talent and strength, otherwise they would not be her equal. It's over.

As for his salary being much less than that of Ning Ning, he actually didn't care too much. He would naturally pay the price for his wrong choice.

However, he chose to serve the other party not just for the sake of the land. He wanted to stand behind the strong man and see the turbulent Warring States Period.

What's more, the salary of three hundred stones is far beyond the imagination of most samurai!

"Yes, Your Highness, Ning Ning has also informed me through letters before. Although I have not actually used it, I still have some experience in training ninjas."

"Well, that's perfect. Although my family has reached an alliance with the Iga ninjas now, compared to them, you and Ningning are truly our own. I hope you can remember this."

Looking at the extremely serious look of the other party, Kato Danzo couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. As sharp as he was, of course he could be [-]% sure that what the other party said was not lies, it was all from the heart. His Highness was really like that. thought.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Asai Nagamasa nodded, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Well, I once met Terutora Uesugi in Kyoto. Although we only got along for a short time, I don't think she is a narrow-minded person, and the Xuanzanzhong is also working for the Uesugi family. Why would she reject a powerful ninja like you? ?”

Although it is not comparable to the first-class ninja forces like Iga or Koga, the Xuanzu clan is considered to be at a mid-level level among many ninjas. Its leader Dou Xian is said to be directly loyal to Uesugi Terutora himself. She refused Kato Danzo’s reason doesn’t seem to be very sufficient, right?

Kato Danzo was obviously a little confused when he heard this, because he really didn't know where he had offended the other party. The other party seemed to be full of anger when he saw him for the first time, as if he had done something that he was very sorry for. matter.

After thinking for a moment, Asai Nagamasa suddenly had an idea: "Duanzo, when and where did you meet him?"

Kato Danzo was a little confused, but he still answered honestly: "Your Highness, I lurked to where he slept after dark."

"But out of politeness, I knocked on the window and asked his maid to notify him."

He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did. After all, as a ninja, he had to show off his ninjutsu, right?

I can lurk directly outside his door without anyone noticing. This effect is amazing, right?
But I don't know why, but the other party's reaction was completely beyond my expectation.

There was no joy, but he couldn't wait to drive him away. He even sent someone to inform him the next day, as if he was eager to leave Kasugayama Castle as soon as possible.

However, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help laughing. This guy was indeed the same Kato Danzo with extremely low emotional intelligence.

His approach was indeed effective, but most of it was frightening.

Not to mention that I am now almost certain that Uesugi Kenshin is a woman. You, a big man, quietly touched the outside of her boudoir, and then slammed the window and said that you would serve her. She didn't kill you with a knife on the spot. That’s generous enough!

"Okay, I understand, but I am different from them. As long as Duan Zang you can be sincerely loyal to me, I will not treat you badly." "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

Although Kato Duanzou was still a little confused, he didn't continue to struggle with this issue, because that was already a thing of the past, and it is irrelevant now.

He just held out a wooden box from behind and offered it with both hands respectfully: "Your Highness, I accidentally defeated a monster in Jia Fei and got a precious sword, which I can present to Your Highness."

He still remembered that the last time they fought against Qiao Ji, the sword used by His Highness was not very good, so now he just used the sword to make up for his mistakes.

"Oh, what kind of monster is it?"

Compared to the knife in the box, Asai Nagamasa was more interested in the monster in the other person's mouth.

Sure enough, with the revival of the spiritual energy of the world and the meteors falling from the sky, monsters are appearing more and more frequently in various places in Nibon?
But I don't know if it was because of his experience with Echigo and Kai that the other party had a little understanding. This guy actually learned to give gifts, and his emotional intelligence has improved.

"The opponent is roughly human-shaped, but has a red face, a long nose, a sharp beak like a crow, and a pair of jet-black wings. It looks very much like the legendary monster Tengu."

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, becoming more and more interested: "Tengu? It should be very powerful."

Although they are monsters, Tengu are different from most stupid bloodthirsty monsters. Not only do they behave and dress very much like humans, they can wear clothes and shoes, and use tachi to fan, but there are also good and evil among them.

It is said that the famous "God of War" Minamoto Yoshitsune was taught martial arts, military law and magic by the Tengu on Kurama Mountain, and he later showed such great power.

According to different strengths, there are several levels of Tengu, including the strongest Great Tengu, slightly less powerful Tengu, and the lowest level Crow Tengu.

What Kato Danzo encountered should be the Crow Tengu, but even if it was the weakest level among the Tengu, the opponent would still be much stronger than the Great Indo and others. Kato Danzo could kill the opponent, and it seemed that he was now There were no injuries, which showed that his strength was indeed very good.

Kato Danzo shook his head: "I don't know that at all. I just heard from the villagers that a monster had kidnapped the child, so I followed him all the way and chopped off his head while he was sleeping."

"It turns out that although its bones are harder than rocks, it will also die after its head is chopped off."

"Oh, so it is."

Asai Nagamasa shook his head and laughed, it turned out to be an assassination, which is very in line with the identity of the opponent's ninja.

This can be regarded as killing the people of Kai. If he had not killed this evil Crow Tengu, there is no telling how many innocent people would have been killed. Moreover, even if the Takeda family sent out a large army to conquer, it would be difficult to completely solve the problem. This scourge.

Because unlike ordinary low-level monsters, Crow Tengu are not only powerful, but also smart, and more importantly, they can fly!
He simply opened the wooden box directly, and what appeared in front of him was a very ordinary-looking tachi without any inscriptions, except that the handle was decorated with black feathers.

However, Asai Nagamasa could tell at a glance that those were not ordinary feathers, but magic weapons that had been refined with magic and had some special power.

Hmm, it seems like there is some illusion effect?
He picked up the tachi and injected a little magic into it, and then in Kato Danzo's surprised eyes, the tachi that he had carried with him for several days actually split into three from the blade!

But Asai Nagamasa shook his wrist a little, and this strange phenomenon disappeared without a trace. He put the inversion into the box again: "Duanzo, speaking of which, you also know how to use a knife, right?"

Kato Danzo responded quickly: "Yes, although I am nicknamed 'Hikyu', I have some experience in hidden weapons and swords."

Upon hearing this, Asai Nagamasa pushed the box back directly: "In that case, I will leave this knife to you. After injecting mana, it can produce phantoms when attacking, which will definitely be very beneficial in combat."

Without waiting for the other party to open his mouth, he continued: "As for the problem of mana, it's easy to solve. You just need to worship me as your teacher."

In addition to land, wealth and position, the power of magic can also unite useful talents to his side. Nagamasa Asai has already understood this.

And while improving their loyalty, the stronger these people's abilities are, the more useful they will be to themselves.

It's just that due to everyone's talents and the short time, everyone's progress is not particularly fast. The spells are okay, but no one has learned the sword spirit for the time being.

I just hope that with the gradual recovery of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their learning speed will become a little faster. Otherwise, when facing more and more challenges in the future, the use of lagging behind will become less and less. ah
Kato Danzo was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Your Highness, as a ninja, can I also learn spells?"

"Haha, if you are worried, why not let Ning Ning teach you together?"

Although Ning Ning is a female ninja, I don't know if it is because of her guardian spirit. Her talent in magic is not low, and she has shown a good talent in wind.

Although she can't use formal wind spells yet, she still has the three most basic telepathic spells: light walking to increase her movement speed, shielding to create an energy shield to protect herself, and purifying effects such as curses and poisoning. Except, she can already use the first two more skillfully.

And although she complained and complained from time to time, in fact she was extremely hardworking, and she kept all the knowledge she taught her firmly in her heart. At least there was no problem in teaching Kato Danzo.

"Even Ning Ning."

Although he knew that Ning Ning was not an ordinary person, Kato Danzo still couldn't believe his ears for a while. After all, it was a legendary spell, and His Highness was said to be a disciple of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei, so if he could If you learn one and a half of the moves.
The next moment, he threw himself to the ground and prostrated himself deeply: "I, Kato Danzo, swear allegiance to His Highness to the death, and I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces!"
