Time goes back five years to Iga.
As an elite jounin in his family, Fujibayashi Aooka was sent to Ise to perform a difficult assassination mission not long ago. However, Fujibayashi Aooka, who has been a ninja since he was ten years old, has been struggling between life and death for more than ten years.
He has long become a leader among Iga ninjas. This kind of task that is as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary ninjas is no problem for him. In addition to his strong body skills and proficiency in hidden weapons and invisibility techniques, Fujibayashi Aooka also has
A unique skill - breathing fire. In fact, it is not a miraculous magic, it is just the use of alcohol and fire. However, this trick has allowed him to win unexpectedly every time.
It is precisely because of his excellence and excellence, as well as his optimistic and cheerful personality, that he was able to marry the famous beauty Akaru among the ninjas of the Fujibayashi family as his wife. Akaru is very virtuous and sensible, and the relationship between the couple is very harmonious, and Fujibayashi Aooka is also incomparable
He loves his wife deeply. Every time he goes out on a mission, no matter what the difficulty of the mission, Ahe will be so nervous and worried that he has trouble sleeping and eating. When Fujibayashi Aooka comes back, Ahe will be as happy as a three-year-old child.
The child, holding her favorite red and white fan, danced for the vines and green hills.
However, this time when Fujibayashi Aooka came back, Ahe was not as happy and excited as usual. Instead, he silently welcomed Fujibayashi Aooka home. After serving dinner, he quietly stepped aside without taking out the round fan.
Sensing something was wrong, Fujibayashi Aooka put down the chopsticks in his hands, sat next to Ahe who was kneeling on the tatami, and asked softly: "Ahe, what's wrong?"
Ah He, who was originally calm, suddenly lowered his head after hearing these words, and his body began to tremble slightly. After a while, he began to sob softly.
"Ahe, what's wrong with you!" Fujibayashi Aooka was a little anxious. He hugged Ahe and held up her chin with his hand, trying to see her face clearly - but it only made the woman cry harder.
"What's going on? Is someone bullying you?" Fujibayashi Aooka felt angry for no reason when he saw Ahe like this and asked loudly.
Unexpectedly, these words completely caused the woman in his arms to collapse. She suddenly threw herself into Fujibayashi Aooka's arms, cried loudly, and said "I'm sorry" over and over again, leaving Fujibayashi Aooka helpless. He was so distressed that he could only
He can pat a woman's back slowly and accompany her quietly.
After a long time, Ahe seemed to have finally calmed down. When Fujibayashi Aooka asked her again what happened, Ahe's face was at war with nature. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered the words "Fujibayashi Aooka Eternal Life".
Memorable words:
"Fujibayashi Hotoyo... rushed into the house when my husband was not around... rushed into the house and ruined my concubine. Husband, you have to make the decision for my concubine!"
Fujibayashi Aooka was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.
Fujibayashi Yasutoyo, the head of the Fujibayashi family in Iga, is also one of the three jounin of Iga. His martial arts and skills are famous throughout Iga. Before, Fujibayashi Aotoyo had heard of "Fujibayashi Yasuyoto spying on his wife"
"The rumor. However, he just laughed it off. Because he felt that the head of the family, how could he miss his wife?
Unexpectedly, all this really happened.
Not noticing his silence, Atsuru rambled on about everything that happened three days ago. As soon as Fujibayashi Aooka left Iga, Fujibayashi Yasutoyo rushed into Fujibayashi Aotoyo's home. Atsuru was a weak woman.
, who was Fujibayashi Yasutoyo's opponent, he was humiliated by Fujibayashi Yasutoyo in the room where the two of them were sitting. Before Fujibayashi Yasutoyo left, he threatened A Kazu: Don't tell Fujibayashi Aotoyo.
Holding his wife who was crying in his arms, Fujibayashi Aooka felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The anger and humiliation in his heart surged for a moment before being suppressed by great fear. This was because he had seen how Fujibayashi Yasutoyo cruelly tortured and executed those who had offended him. Whether it was his own subordinates or other ninjas,
As a ninja or a civilian, if you offend him, the vengeful Fujibayashi Yasutoyo will not let him go.
Have I become someone who must be eliminated in his eyes...Fujibayashi Aooka was trembling and conflicted in his heart.
However, unfortunately, Ahe in her arms seemed to have finished talking about her tragedy, and turned her plaintive and pleading eyes to Fujibayashi Yasutoyo. Fujibayashi Aooka understood that Ahe was expecting a reassuring answer. Such as "
I'll go find that old bastard to settle the score right now," or "Don't be afraid, I will guard you forever" and the like.
This is what a husband should say to his wife.
But Fujibayashi Aooka couldn't say it.
He was afraid, afraid that he would become a stumbling block in the eyes of Fujibayashi Yatoyo. Afraid that he would be tortured to death by him. Afraid of losing the comfortable position, wealthy life and reputation that resounded in Iga.
Even though he is very powerful, he thinks he has the same strength as Fujibayashi Yasutoyo, but he does not dare to seek revenge against him - that is tantamount to declaring war on the entire Fujibayashi family hierarchy. It's okay if he wins, but what if he loses?
Not only could Ahe lose his life, but his own life and hard-won life would also be lost. He didn't dare.
So he had no choice but to avoid Ahe's eyes and remain silent without saying a word.
"I'm not strong enough," Fujibayashi Aooka made an excuse for himself: "If my martial arts were more powerful, if my tactics were more mature, I could bravely seek revenge from Fujibayashi Yasutoyo... But I'm too weak."
After noticing Fujibayashi Aooka's performance, Ahe was still a little unbelievable. Shrinking in Fujibayashi Aooka's arms, she raised her head and timidly confirmed: "Your Highness, you will make the decision for me...right?"
Fujibayashi Aooka's cheek twitched violently, and he was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he gritted his back molars and said those words that still make him feel extremely ashamed when he thinks about them.
"Actually...it's your blessing to be favored by the leader...it's better to let things go."
He finished saying this tremblingly, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Ahe's expression. As if he understood everything, Ahe suddenly stopped crying, looked at Tenglin Qingokang with his eyes blankly for a moment, and then slowly walked away from Tenglin Qingokang.
He broke free from his arms and looked at Fujibayashi Aooka as if he were a stranger.
The next day, when Fujibayashi Aooka woke up, Ahe had hanged himself in the next room. The fan she loved most during her lifetime fell at her feet.
Fujibayashi Aooka understood that it was his cowardice and cowardice that gave Ahe the final blow to Ahe who had already suffered so much humiliation.
The matter did not end there. Before Fujibayashi Aooka could bury Aikaru, the ninjas sent by Fujibayashi Yasutoyo came to assassinate Fujibayashi Aooka. He originally thought that his humiliation could bring him comfort, but it was just wishful thinking. Fujibayashi Aooka relied on
With his outstanding kung fu, he led a dozen loyal subordinates to fight his way out of the ninja and became a rebel ninja. In the mountains of Iga and Ise, he lived a life of doing small tasks that were not popular.
The days of making a living.
Fujibayashi Aooka has completely changed. The optimistic and cheerful person he used to be has become taciturn. He practices day after day, even harder than before - he wants to become stronger. Because as long as he can become stronger, he will become the strongest in the world.
If he is a ninja, there will be no one he fears, and Ahe's tragedy will not happen again.
However, his belief was shaken today - after he saw Yu Qiuping. In his definition, the weak man who was obviously as weak as any could be willing to fight against a strong enemy for the sake of his wife.
Fight to the death.
Why are you so strong? So strong that you can challenge powerful enemies without hesitation?
·
"Why are you so strong? So strong that you can protect your important people without hesitation?" After telling his story, Qinggang almost asked in confusion: "You are obviously so weak! Why can you harm yourself to protect your wife?
, let’s challenge such a powerful ninja again!”
After Yu Qiuping listened to his question, he did not answer directly.
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong."
"Do you understand the rationale?"
"Please speak clearly." Qinggang frowned and urged.
Yu Qiuping shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Only a strong person can protect his important people."
"But a person becomes extremely powerful when he wants to protect the people important to him."
Qinggang's eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at Yu Qiuping in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm weak. I don't know any martial arts, and I'm stupid. I was drugged by the enemy." Yu Qiu spread his hands and said, "But when I saw my wife being bullied like that, when I saw me
My wife is in such pain that I simply cannot bear it. She is the most important person to me, and she is the person I love most. Being able to marry her is the happiness of my life."
"I will not let her be wronged, even if I risk my life, I will protect her."
"At that time, a kind of power welled up in my heart. That kind of power will not be transformed into your martial arts or tactics, but it will make you feel something." Yu Qiuping said with a smile.
"As long as it's to protect her, I can do anything."
"I have no regrets about self-mutilation, desperate efforts, even death. I can do anything to protect her. This is what I was thinking at the time, and this is why I could become so strong at that time - because I have no fear
Already."
"So, don't be obsessed with chasing power anymore. It's useless."
After Yu Qiuping said these words, Qinggang suddenly realized that he covered his head with both hands and roared in pain. After five years of persistence and five years of guilt, in the end, he still didn't understand what strength is.
.
"So that's it!"
He had clearly seen it... It was three years ago, in a mountain, where a petite lady fought with a ferocious tiger in order to protect her infant child.
She was not strong at all, but she rushed towards the tiger like crazy, and finally drove the tiger away with blood dripping from her body.
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
Because she has someone she wants to protect.

Just when Qinggang was about to respond, the door to the room was suddenly opened. A blue figure suddenly jumped into Yu Qiuping's arms.
"Feng'er?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, then hugged the person in his arms, "Why did you come in suddenly?"
"Your Highness Yuqiu!" Maeda Keiji, who was standing at the door, interrupted with a smile, "Do you think this thin paper door can provide more sound insulation? Everyone can hear your impassioned speech behind it.
See you!"
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping smiled and spread his hands, "Isn't that embarrassing?"
"How embarrassing!" Maeda Keiji slapped his chest, took out the cigarette and pointed it at Yu Qiuping: "What you said! It's so exciting! I, Maeda Keiji, respect heroes and heroes.
! Yuqiu Hongye, I admire you!"
And Imagawa Feng in Yu Qiuping's arms also hugged Yu Qiuping tightly, rubbing her cheeks and hair between Yu Qiuping's neck. "Ping," she sobbed softly: "I am the only one who can marry you.
A lifetime of happiness."
Qinggang looked at the scene in front of him, and tears began to well up in the eyes of this man who had not cried in five years. He looked at the young man in front of him, this unique young man, the man who was willing to risk his life to protect the one he loved.
man.
After making up his mind, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and performed the salute that a subordinate would do to a family governor.
"Your Highness," Qing Gang respectfully changed his title: "I just learned from your subordinates that you are here to recruit ninjas."
"That's right." Yu Qiuping nodded.
"Then I am willing to recommend myself," Qing Gang said with a hand in hand: "I understand that my status as a fugitive nin may cause trouble to you, Your Highness. However, I am confident that the abilities of me and my subordinates are enough to make up for these troubles!"
"I believe in you," Yu Qiuping naturally will not forget this amazing ninja who is willing to take action and fight one against ten. Perhaps his kung fu is not what Yu Qiuping values ​​most. He can bear his past and walk out of it bravely.
, this alone is already very admirable. "Then Fujibayashi Aooka, I will officially appoint you as the ninja of my Yuqiu family!"
However, Fujibayashi Aooka silently shook his head and whispered in that deep voice: "I am determined to make a clean break with the coward in the past. I will not use the surname Fujibayashi anymore. Please give me a surname by His Highness."
When Yu Qiuping was hesitating about what name to give, his eyes suddenly drifted to the round fan in his hand.
Uchiwa fan... Yu Qiuping whispered the Japanese pronunciation of uchiwa fan, which brought back memories of his childhood.
"The surname is Uchiha. (The pronunciation is very close to Uchiha)" Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice.
"Uchiha...means the uchiwa fan?" Uchiha Aooka murmured, staring at the uchiwa fan in his hand.
"That's right," Yu Qiuping nodded and said, "taking Lingzheng's Tuanfan as your surname, never forget Lingzheng's love and expectations for you. Use your whole life to work hard to change your ideas and cleanse your
Shame, go to Lingzheng to atone for your sins."
"I hope that when you meet in heaven," Yu Qiuping smiled softly, "Ling Zheng can also say that sentence proudly."
