Shimura Danzo is actually a good guy

Chapter 219 Discussion (Part [-])
In Kyoto, the bustling and bustling country of water, Danzo sits leisurely on the teahouse, looking at the passers-by below.

Some are natives of the capital, who own a house and status. Even in this war period, they seem to be at ease, because the war outside has nothing to do with them. Of course, it also benefits from the struggle of their ancestors.

And some are outsiders because of the outbreak of this war. Those who have money are determined to spend a lot of money to buy real estate, and those who have no money are running on the streets hoping to find a job with a certain family in the capital city. You don't have to be expelled from the city in the middle of the night because of the curfew.

Danzo can tell the difference between the insider and the outsider at a glance.

"War, war, I don't know when this hard life will end."

Danzang sat at a table by the window, and at the other table next to him, a man who was obviously from outside the city said, but this guy's family should be fairly well-off, and he can still drink tea in this teahouse in the morning.

"Don't worry, uncle, when the war is over, I will send you back to your hometown, just like before." The person who followed the conversation should be his junior, and he seemed quite filial.

"Well, I'm just worried about our old house. Back then, your grandfather left the house to me to go out into the city."

The ramblings are mostly words that express youth.

Apart from this table, most of the discussions in the teahouse were about this war, and there were more sighs and sighs, and there were few topics of celebration.

Usually in this kind of place, the topic of chatting is mostly to keep up with current affairs. Now it is during the war, and these things are discussed.

"Didn't you say that the daimyos of the Land of Fire are peace-loving? Why did they take the initiative to provoke wars? Sure enough, these officials say one thing and do another."

Among the chaotic words, a loud voice suddenly suppressed the other voices with resentment, and it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

Oh?
Danzo looked over with great interest, and found that he was a tall and thick man. Judging from his clothes, he should have come from outside the city. He didn't know why he was able to drink tea in this teahouse so leisurely in the early morning.

You must know the current situation. Things in this capital are rising rapidly. Food, clothing, drinking, and housing have to be multiplied several times. This man does not look like a rich man. This is the place for tea.

"Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense."

Perhaps it was because they disturbed others, but soon someone retorted dissatisfiedly: "I also have many friends from the Land of Fire, and I also asked them to bring some newspapers from the Land of Fire."

"The daimyo of the Land of Fire is a good man. Not to mention anything else, just what he said in the newspaper, many of them can make me feel the beauty of peace and the preciousness of life. People who can say such things, Definitely not the kind of person who says one thing on the bright side and another on the other side.”

"Yes, yes, I also have friends from the Land of Fire who brought me several newspapers. Recently, I heard from a caravan from the Land of Fire that Lord Danzo started the war out of necessity for peace." Someone began, Soon some people abandoned that barrier and started chatting across the tea table.

One or two, most of them are people who have read those newspapers and yearn for the kind of peaceful and beautiful life that Danzang said.

Hearing that so many people came out to defend him, Danzang was delighted. His current position was the political center of the enemy country, and it was still in wartime. No matter how he heard it, he felt that these people were abnormal.

Fortunately, the next words made Danzo feel relieved, and he didn't think that someone from the country of water found him and deliberately made a play for himself.

"I also heard the voice from the Kingdom of Fire that day, but they may not all be real people, right? They are ninjas, they can clone themselves." One person said disdainfully, with a kind of arrogance that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

"Oh, these people really believe what others say, or they are from other countries."

"Have some brains, can you, have you actually visited the Land of Fire?"

A few harsh voices suddenly came out of the harmonious discussion, and the person who was the first to refute Danzo frowned and said, "Hey, hey, we're just talking, besides, it's all facts, I I came to the caravan from the country of fire before to learn about it, and almost everyone in the country is shouting."

"Brother, please understand the situation clearly. Can you believe what the caravans from other countries say? Why haven't I seen such things after returning from the country of water to the country of fire. "

The atmosphere of the discussion, which was originally quite calm, became a little more heated because of these barbed voices. Seeing that there were still people blushing and wanting to refute, someone suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. There was no emotion in the tone, nor could it tell which side it was facing, but it carried an inexplicable momentum, which made them stop unconsciously. Turned his head to look at the words.

I saw a young man who was extremely decent from his clothes to his expression and posture, sitting alone on a tea table by the window drinking tea.

Seeing that everyone stopped discussing and turned their gazes to himself, he didn't react at all. He looked at many people in the crowd expressionlessly and said, "You should be from the country of water, right? I'm thinking about being able to make a home in the capital of the country of water." There is no reason for people from other countries to be foreign, why have you been exalting people from other countries, you are not spies, are you?"

As he spoke, he was still staring at the faces of several of them, as if distinguishing and remembering, and finally stopped his eyes on the person who helped Danzang to speak at the beginning.

"You are the spy, and your whole family is a spy." The person being stared at panicked, and didn't dare to speak up to refute, and cursed in a low voice, got up and left.

This imposing young man didn't continue to speak after the man left, and didn't look at other people. He continued to drink tea by himself and looked at the pedestrians below from the window.

But although the young man didn't speak, he did have an inexplicable cold aura on his body. Combined with the previous words, everyone in the teahouse felt uncomfortable.

Soon, a few more people couldn't stand the atmosphere and left. They were people who spoke for Danzang before and read a few newspapers yearning for the country of fire.

Those who originally wanted to hear about life in the Land of Fire also kept silent, and quietly finished their food on the table and left.

In this period, and in this kind of place, once being labeled as a spy, few people can survive, unless their identity is different from ordinary people, and there are enough reasons to prove that their identity is impossible to be a spy. .

The teahouse, which had been lively and lively, suddenly fell silent. No one dared to continue to bring up this kind of matter. They each lowered their heads to drink tea and chat about their own affairs, and they did not dare to communicate with other strangers like just now.

Looking at the imposing young man who was drinking tea alone, Danzo stood up, picked up the teacup and snacks on his table, and came to his table politely, and stood opposite him under the young man's indifferent eyes. sit down.

"Your Excellency Tokugawa, although it's the first time we met, you gave me a surprisingly good impression."
