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

Chapter 81 Haesuka Koliu

"I'm not a kappa! I'm a half-demon, I'm a bee, ow!"

Before he could finish speaking, the half-demon received another hard blow. Although his overall strength was far superior to any kappa present, he was constantly injured due to his blind defense when he could not fight back. It's inevitable.

Because not only do they have to resist the attacks of the kappas, but they also have to actively resist Hashihime’s spells, because Hashihime doesn’t care at all whether she will be accidentally injured!
But for Asai Nagamasa, this word was enough, and he suddenly couldn't help but realize.

No wonder there have always been rumors that everyone in the mysterious Kawabi people can dive for a long time. For those hostile pirates and water bandits, they can even dive underwater to dig through the bottom of the ship and kill all the water bandits underwater. , and then left silently, never being exposed to the water from beginning to end.

Therefore, even though the Kawami clan is not large in number and does not fight too many times, the reason why they enjoy a very special status above the Kiso Mikawa is that even the Oda family and the Saito family want to win over them.

This is almost impossible for humans to do, but for monsters, especially kappas who are good at water fighting, it is too easy.

Although they are at the bottom of the many monster groups, they are still monsters after all. It is very easy to sneak attack ordinary water bandits, whether they are intentional or not.

He also probably understood why, even though he had just saved the life of Maeno Nagayasu, he looked very embarrassed when he proposed to visit the leader of the Kawaubi clan, because he probably knew about it for a long time. The true identity of the leaders.

It may seem unbelievable, but the male half-demon with a ferocious carapace on his back in front of him is probably the leader of the Mizuko Rivers that cross the Kiso Mikawa River - Hachisuka Koroku!
It's a pity that there is not much time for him to continue to sigh, because with Hashihime's movements, light green light began to surround her body, and the next moment, a vortex of water appeared directly around Hachisuka Koryu , further restricting his movements.

Then the kappas also had their eyes glowing green, and they rushed forward crazily, not to kill him, but to trap him.

Asai Nagamasa immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot three arrows in succession, but Hashihime didn't even look back. She just made a slight move with her free hand, and the rushing river water immediately rushed over. , turned into a thick water shield in front of her, and easily stopped the arrow.

Then her proud voice came over: "Haha, damn man, do you think you can hurt me like this? I am the Bridge Princess here!"

Asai Nagamasa snorted, and began to taunt the other party: "But your bridge has been broken, and it was broken by your kappa under your order. Don't you think that you have already broken it? Isn’t it a bit unworthy of the name?”

Qiao Ji's face suddenly turned cold: "Hmph, hateful man, let me let you be proud for a moment. After I fully grasp the power given by that adult, all of you men will die!"

Asai Nagamasa's heart sank. Who is the so-called "adult"? What happened here was indeed the same as that of Jusan Sakura Village, with monsters acting behind it.

And just by looking at a small part of the information that the other party has exposed so far, you know that the other party must have a big plan.Maybe he should speed up his pace, otherwise with his current strength alone, he would still be far from being able to compete with the real great demon.

At this time, Axiu pulled Asai Nagamasa's sleeve and motioned him to look at the small forest behind her. She felt an unusual movement.

Asai Nagamasa secretly sighed, Axiu was still too naive. She noticed it, and of course she didn't completely ignore it. He wasn't so slow yet, but don't show it so quickly.
But since it's already like this, let's follow her, it won't affect much anyway.

He simply turned around and looked in that direction: "Since the distinguished guest is already here, why not show up and meet him."

There was silence in the air for a moment, and then with a breeze, a man jumped down from the tree.

He looked to be about thirty years old, his clothes were shabby, and he wore a straw cloak on his back. He looked very embarrassed.

Only the long and short samurai swords hanging crosswise around his waist showed his former identity, perhaps as a samurai.

But now that he is in such a situation, it means that he is probably a ronin who has lost his master's family, so his life has become extremely embarrassing.

Looking again at the half-demon who was roaring and screaming, as if fighting against Qiao Ji's spell, Asai Nagamasa knew that he might not last long.

It's a pity that both himself and Axiu are not good at water fighting, so there is nothing they can do about it. If the mysterious ronin in front of him can't do anything, he may have no choice but to leave sadly.And Qiao Ji who is entrenched here will also become more powerful. He has no choice but to wait until he continues to become stronger in the future before causing trouble for her again.

However, since the other party dared to show up after seeing Hashihime's spell, the body of the water ghost on the ground and the many kappas in the river, and the battle between him and Hashihime, and his face was so calm, it must not be true. An ordinary ronin.

Well, maybe the threat I initially perceived was not from the kappa or water ghost, but from the man in front of me, or at least part of it?

"My dear, Kato Danzo, because the battle here is too exciting, I can't help but stay for a while. I hope this sir will forgive me."

Although his tone was calm and his words were modest, when he looked at the other party's eyes, Asai Nagamasa knew that the other party actually didn't really respect him, and he didn't even take Axiu seriously. Maybe because Axiu was a woman?
But if this is the case, it somewhat dispels one of Asai Nagamasa's doubts. The other party should simply meet him and others here by chance, rather than come here deliberately, so he, who has never seen Axiu's true strength, will ignore it. Axiu.Moreover, Kato Danzo, the man with this name is not an ordinary unknown person in the parallel world.

Kato Danzo is an extremely mysterious ninja. His origin and experience are unknown. It is only said that he has superb ninjutsu and is especially good at jumping, so he is also nicknamed "Hibi Kato".

If he only had these abilities, it would be nothing. He had not taken refuge with any famous people, nor had he done any outstanding deeds. His reputation was only limited to a small area in Hitachi.

It was not until the end of his life that he had a rather legendary story, that is, his excellent ninjutsu was feared by Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo, and Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, whom he tried to seek refuge with, and both I want to get rid of it and then quickly.

Finally, Yamamoto Kansuke, the top military advisor of Takeda Shingen's faction, arranged a banquet. During the banquet, Yamamoto Kansuke kept urging him to drink and praised his abilities.

When he went to the toilet after drinking an unknown amount, many generals under Takeda Shingen attacked him together, and finally successfully surrounded and killed him in the toilet.

It can be said that this method of death is very dishonorable to Kato Danzo, who is an outstanding ninja, and it is even more dishonorable to Takeda Shingen, the master envoy of the Takeda family who is well-known in Kanto. .

Not only because the method was a bit despicable, but also because at that time, Kato Danzo was a subordinate he had just taken under his command.

But Takeda Shingen did it resolutely in the end. This shows that Kato Danzo must have brought great pressure to him, and even made him want to get rid of the other party even if he was stigmatized.

It is probably precisely because of this that Kato Danzo's reputation is truly widely known, but unfortunately he no longer enjoys any of the rewards that fame can bring.

All in all, this is a man with a mysterious background and some abilities. When he became a master of ninjutsu in his later years, he successively intended to serve Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, which shows that he also has certain ambitions, but he does not have high emotional intelligence.

As a low-status ninja, he showed too much power in front of many samurai and even daimyo. Not only did this not attract admiration, but it would only arouse fear and even disgust. For him, , this is simply like asking for death.

But those things have little to do with the current Asai Nagamasa. He only knows that the current opponent is a force that can be used.

Even if there are some more monsters and monsters in this world that have never been recorded in real history, causing the whole world to gradually begin to change, judging from Asai Nagamasa's current experience, those people with names in history, their In terms of personality and experience, there is still little difference from what is recorded, but in terms of ability, it will only become stronger.

For example, Takenaka Hanbei whom he met before, historically he was a weak strategist, but now Asai Nagamasa has no doubt that he can easily kill dozens or hundreds of ashigaru.

Other people such as Saito Dozo, Saito Rizo, Tokichiro, etc. are also obviously stronger than the figures in history that he knows, and Kato Danzo is no exception.

"Kato Danzo, right? I am Asai Nagamasa of the Asai family, and this is my companion Axiu. As you can see, we are fighting against Hashihime who is entrenched here. If you can help me with this," After a pause and waiting for the other person to digest his words, he continued.

"I can make the decision and let you serve as the leader of the ashigaru-gumi in my family, with a salary of one hundred dan. If you have merit in the future, you can continue to be promoted. What do you think?"
