Chapter 652 The main formation of the Osaka Spring formation and the current commander of Iga no Sato [6100]
After shouting "The Secret of Feng Mo Liu", Feng Mo suddenly put his hand into his arms.
"Etc., etc!"
When Feng Mo shouted the words "Fuma Ryu Mysteries", Genichi's expression changed.
"I was just joking. Don't use your troublesome secrets in such a narrow place."
"Hmph." Feng Mo took his hand out of his arms and showed annoyance, "Yuanyi, it's okay if you don't mention my head, but I'll be angry if you mention it."
"You were obviously more indulgent than me when you were young."
"You drink far more than I do, and you go out more often than I do. In the end, my hair fell out, but your hair is still as thick as it was when you were young."
It was the first time that Ogata and Atachi knew that Genichi often went to Yukaku when he was young.
The couple who unknowingly discovered a little secret of Yuan Yi could not help but look at Yuan Yi with strange eyes.
Genichi, who noticed the glances from Ogata and Atachi, laughed a few times without any shame:
"When my hair was still black, whenever I passed by Yukoku, my body would turn around uncontrollably and turn into Yukoku, Ogata-kun. You should also understand this feeling of being 'involuntarily', right?"
"No, I don't understand. Because I have never felt like this before." As soon as Genichi finished speaking, Oubon turned to look at Atachi very quickly, and then said this seriously.
Faced with Ogata's "dismissal of the relationship without hesitation", Genichi smiled indifferently, and then continued to talk to Fuma.
"Drinking and shopping are not directly related to hair loss."
"When I was wandering in England, a doctor who didn't drink, didn't smoke, and didn't like to play with women advised me to drink less and avoid associating with dirty women."
"It turned out that the doctor who advised me to live a healthy life became terminally ill a year later, and died soon after due to lack of treatment."
"But I, who was refuted by him as living an unhealthy life, have lived a healthy life until now."
"So hair loss, illness, etc., I think are all related to luck."
"People who are unlucky, even if they have a good lifestyle, can easily get sick and die suddenly."
"Ganshi, you're just a little unlucky."
After saying that, Yuan Yi slowly put the Yang Shen and Yan Rong back into their sheaths.
After sheathing the sword, Yuan Yi looked at Feng Mo several times with a... somewhat lonely look.
"...Ganshi, after taking a closer look...you are really much older. There are so many wrinkles on your face..."
"Don't you look at how long it's been since we last met? The last time we met... it's been so long ago that I can't even remember it." Feng Mo smiled, "Yuan Yi, aren't you a lot older too?
"
"In my impression, the last time I saw you, you still had a little bit of black hair on your head. But now there is no black hair left at all."
Looking at Genichi who was chatting happily with Fuma, Ogata couldn't help but said silently in his heart:
Fortunately, Mr. Fuma followed me to Osaka this time.
If there was anyone in the Calabash House that Ogata wanted to meet and chat with after reuniting with the Calabash House group in Osaka, it was undoubtedly Genichi.
He had quite a lot to say to Yuan Yi.
Scrooge's business.
There is also the matter of the wind demon.
Skulucci once asked Ogata to bring a message to Genichi if he saw him in the future: Although I became a notorious Cossack for my livelihood, I have never forgotten what I have always wanted to do.
Ogata had always had a very clear understanding of the previous battle against the 10,000-strong army of the shogunate. Without the help of Scrooge, he would have been unable to break into the shogunate with his own strength.
The main formation of the army.
Out of gratitude to Skulucci, Ogata never forgot his promise to Skulucci.
Not long after meeting Genichi again in Osaka, Ogata found an opportunity to tell Genichi in detail the whole story of his meeting with Scrooge in Ezo, and entrusted Scrooge to him.
If so, bring it to Yuan Yi.
After hearing the name "Skullucci" from Ogata's mouth, Genichi immediately showed a nostalgic expression.
After listening to Ogata tell about everything he experienced with Skolucci in Ezo Land, Genichi briefly told Ogata the story of himself and Skolucci.
Scrooge was a "war orphan" whom Genichi picked up by chance when he was "tactically transferred" from the Papal State to the Kingdom of Lucia because he got into trouble.
According to Yuan Yi, Scrooge is a child who is somewhat cute and naive.
In this era when all Western countries are using guns, they still dream of becoming the kind of knights in knight literature who leave legends wherever they go.
Yuan Yi and Skulucci didn't get along for long, and they only got along for a little more than a year before they parted ways.
The reason why they parted ways is not complicated. It was just that Scrooge wanted to break away from the protection of Yuan Yi, his savior, and wanted to go out on his own.
After the separation, Yuan Yi never saw Skulucci again.
Only now, through the mouth of Ogata, did Genichi know that Skulucci was still alive and had become a minor leader among the Cossacks.
Skulucci, who longed to become a noble knight, turned out to be a Cossack notorious for his love of burning, killing and looting. Faced with this fact, Genichi did not show any signs of shock.
He just smiled.
Genichi, who seemed uninterested in why Skulucci chose to become a Cossack, asked Asaogata:
"Even if he became a Cossack for some reason that I don't know, Skulucci must have always held himself to the standard of a 'noble knight', right?"
"Yeah." Faced with the question asked by Genichi, Ogata nodded firmly.
After finishing talking about Scrooge, Oufon immediately started talking about the wind demon.
Ogata also knew how close the relationship between Genichi and Fuma was. However, he didn't know much about it. He only heard about some past events between Fuma and Genichi by chance.
Genichi and Feng Mo knew each other when they were just fledgling young people.
Fuma once told Ogata: He had a very bad impression of Genichi at first, because the first time he met Genichi was in the corridor of a certain house.
Genichi was lying on his side at the end of the corridor, and said seriously to Fuma who asked him what he was doing: I was looking at the feet of the women walking in the corridor.
At that time, Feng Mo only thought that Yuan Yi was a pervert with a brain problem. It was not until he experienced many things with Yuan Yi later that Feng Mo realized that this "pervert" turned out to be such an extraordinary person.
Ogata told Genichi in detail that Fuma was also in Osaka, and made an agreement with Genichi to bring Fuma to see Genichi when he and Fuma had time.
Hence the current scene.
"that……"
At this time, a soft female voice, spoken in a cautious tone, suddenly sounded from the end of the corridor to Ogata's left.
"Excuse me...what happened?"
The owner of the voice is a young maid in this hotel.
The young waitress now hid her lower body at the corner of the corridor, only leaning out half of her body, looking at Ogata and others with a somewhat fearful look.
Ogata knew at a glance that the maid must have been disturbed by the noise of the fight between Genichi and Fuma, so she came to check on the situation.
"Nothing happened." Ogata smiled at the waitress, "We just... chatted and got a little excited, nothing happened."
The waitress looked at Ogata and others with doubtful eyes, said a few words, "Please don't make too much noise," and then left.
"Oh, I just saw my old partner I haven't seen for a long time. I was so excited for a moment." Yuan Yi scratched the hair on the back of his head, "I forgot that this is a hotel."
"Okay, everyone, stop standing at the door." Lin said at this time, "Come to the room quickly."
"Miss Lin." Amachi asked as he walked into the room, "Where are Mamiya and Asai?"
"I asked Kuro and Shichirobei to visit some business partners for me that don't require me to visit in person." Lin shrugged, "Being a businessman is more troublesome in this regard. It requires effort to maintain a lot of interpersonal relationships.
"
"Miss Lin." Ogata, who was kneeling in front of Lin, suddenly said, "In addition to Mr. Fuma, I also brought a guest."
"Oh? Guest?" Lin raised her eyebrows.
"This guest... has a good background. He is a new companion I met by chance after I left Ezo on a stowaway boat."
Ogata explained slowly.
"My new companion is a kunoichi like Atachi, but the ninjutsu she uses is the Iga-ryu ninjutsu."
Hearing the word "Iga", Genichi's eyes immediately narrowed slightly: "Iga?"
Azhu's goal is to find her parents and sister Ajiu who were forcibly separated by the remnants of Iga.
It was for this purpose that she followed Ogata, who was suspected of being targeted by the remnants of Iga.
If we were looking for someone, Lin, who had a big business and a wide network of contacts, might be able to help.
Moreover, since Ogata has re-allied with Calabash House, it is also necessary for Lin and the others to meet the new members of Ogata's small team.
So after meeting Lin and others again, Oubang considered whether to let Tsukuru, Lin and others meet and get to know each other.
Prior to this, Ogata had never mentioned the existence of Azuki to Calabash House and others because she was not sure whether Azuki would be willing to let outsiders she was not familiar with know her identity as an Iga kunoichi.
On the night when she agreed to form an alliance with Calabash House, Oubang went to Azuki to ask her opinion and asked her if she was willing to get acquainted with Lin and others.
Azuki only thought for a moment, and then said happily that as long as she could help her find her family, she would be happy to let Ogata's friends know her identity as an "Iga kunoichi".
Therefore, when we visited the temporary base of the Calabash House group today, Ogata not only brought Fuma, but also Ashuku.
After listening to Ogata's brief introduction to Azuki, Genichi said softly "Oh" and then asked:
"Then where is this Iga kunoichi named Azuki now?"
"After the child heard from me that Miss Lin likes food that is not hot, she insisted on going to a famous Japanese confectionery store east of Osaka to buy the freshest Japanese confectionery as a souvenir."
Emotionally helpless.
"She made a reservation for wagashi in advance last night. Because the store is far away, it would take a lot of time to go to that store to pick up wagashi, so she asked us to come to your place first and she would come back later."
"Ha." Lin, who doesn't like to show off her smile, gave a rare smile, "It seems that she is a child who pays great attention to etiquette."
"Iga..." Genichi showed an expression of reminiscence, "The last time I saw a kunoichi in Iga... it was more than forty years ago, when Iga no Sato still existed. The child named Azuki...
…You probably don’t know about the grudges between Kinoshita Genichi and Iga Nosato, right?”
"She doesn't know." Ogata shook his head, "The elders who taught her Iga-ryu ninjutsu almost never mentioned the past of Iga-no-Sato to her. She didn't know the truth about Iga-no-Sato's demise at all.
"
"She is actually not even interested in Iga-ryu ninjutsu. She was forced to practice Iga-ryu ninjutsu just to find her family." Atachi added.
"That's it..." Minamoto smiled, "That's good. I don't want to fight with people who shout 'avenge Iga' anymore."
"The kunoichi of Iga..." Makimura smiled meaningfully at Ogata, "I didn't expect that without knowing it, Ogata brother, you have another kunoichi next to you... I always feel that you seem to be the same as the kunoichi.
It's an unexpected fate."
Faced with Makimura's sentiments that Fuma once expressed, Ogata smiled, and then responded in a half-joking tone:
"Compared to the kunoichi, I feel that I have a closer relationship with your Calabash House. At least my relationship with the kunoichi has not reached the point where we can just happen to bump into each other no matter where we go."
"Iga..." Shimada murmured at this time, "I have never seen a ninja from Iga."
"As early as 41 years ago, Iga no Sato was destroyed by Uncle Uncle." Lin complained silently, "It would be strange for you to see it."
"Speaking of which..." Shimada turned his attention to Genichi, "I still don't know what happened between Genichi and Iganozato. I only know that Genichi took Iganozato to
Destroyed."
Having said this, Shimada seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Makimura and Lin.
"Could it be that I'm the new one again and don't know anything?"
"That's not true," Makimura said, "I don't know what happened between Minamoto and Iga no Sato. Minamoto doesn't seem to like to talk about it."
"The reason why I don't like to talk about this is because it happened too long ago. It happened 41 years ago. I have forgotten many details." The memory on Yuan Yi's face slowly became richer.
"The grudge between Igazato and I is actually not complicated."
"After the Iga ninjas helped Tokugawa Ieyasu conquer the world, they were designated as royal ninjas by the Edo shogunate."
"Not only were they put in great use by the Edo shogunate, but they also received a fiefdom given to them by the Edo shogunate."
"Iga no Sato, which received a fiefdom and a bunch of privileges from the Edo shogunate, is no longer a pure ninja, but more like a small vassal state."
"Every Iga ninja no longer looks like a ninja, but more like a landowner in Iga, who owns land and feeds the people in their fiefdom."
"This kind of comfortable environment makes them corrupt quickly."
"On the eve of my decision to attack Iga no Sato, there were not many decent ninjas left in Iga no Sato."
"The reason why I eliminated Iga no Sato is also very simple. They pissed me off. In addition, I just happened to have practiced the Mugo Two Sword Style at that time, and I urgently needed to find some powerful opponents to test my newly created swordsmanship, so I
We decided to let Iga no Sato, which has few serious ninjas left, perish."
"Although Iga no Sato was successfully destroyed, I was alone. Although Iga no Sato was destroyed, many ninjas were lucky enough to escape and save their lives."
"I never expected that 41 years later, Iga's ninjas are still active..."
After saying that, Yuan Yi showed a meaningful wry smile and shook his head gently.
Just as Yuan Yi finished speaking, the sound of "ta-da-da" footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Listening to the footsteps, Ogata raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems she is already here."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Azuki's energetic voice sounded from the door:
"Mashima-sama! Atachi-san! Feng-sama! Are you in there?"
…
…
at this moment
Osaka, Ryusui Temple
"Master Kiyosumi! Thank you very much for saving my son! My son's fever has gone away! You are truly a miracle doctor!"
An old woman with patched clothes shouted loudly and then knelt down on the ground.
As soon as her knees bent, a kind-faced old monk, wearing a brown cassock and exuding a pleasant fragrance, stood in front of her. He immediately stretched out his hands to support the old woman.
"Donor, it doesn't have to be like this." Qingcheng smiled slightly, "I accept your thanks. You don't need to give me such a big gift. I can't afford it."
When Qingcheng supported the old woman, two young monks not far away, one tall and one short, approached each other.
"Look," the tall monk muttered, "someone came here to thank the abbot again."
"Isn't this a common thing?" The short monk looked at Qingcheng not far away with admiration. "Abbott has great medical skills and often goes out to treat people for free. He is deeply loved by people. You are new here.
Maybe you don’t know that I have seen seven waves of people come here in one day to thank the abbot for his kindness.”
"Abbott is really a living Bodhisattva..." the tall monk said with emotion, "Abbott's only shortcoming is probably that he likes to use his own special incense to make himself smell good."
"Isn't this a shortcoming?" the short monk said helplessly.
"In my eyes, this is a shortcoming." The tall monk curled his lips, "I don't like the fragrance."
While the tall monk and the short monk were whispering to each other, Qingcheng had already begun to watch the old woman who came to him to express her gratitude.
As soon as the old woman left Qingcheng's field of vision, Qingcheng turned his head and looked at the tall monk and the short monk who were still chatting not far away.
"You are so brave." Qingcheng said in a half-joking tone, "I am standing not far away, and you dare to be so blatantly lazy."
"Yes, I'm sorry!" The short monk blushed, then quickly picked up the broom and vigorously swept the bluestone floor under his feet.
The tall monk also continued to work with a panicked expression.
"Don't let me catch you guys being lazy again." Qingcheng's tone became slightly more serious, "I will go back to the inner room to rest now. When I wake up, I want to see that the fallen leaves here have been cleaned up."
Tall monk, short monk: "Yes!"*2
After leaving this somewhat tough order, Qingcheng dragged his cassock and walked quickly towards the backyard of Ryushui Temple.
The tall monk secretly observed Qingcheng until he could no longer see Qingcheng, then he secretly smiled bitterly at the short one and said: "Although the abbot is a living Bodhisattva and usually has kind intentions towards everyone, he occasionally shows a very stern side...
…”
"Okay, stop talking." The short monk said helplessly, "Hurry up and work hard. I don't want to be scolded by the abbot for not working hard again."
…
…
On the way back to his room, Qingcheng met many monks from the same temple.
Qingcheng, who was highly respected and sincerely loved by the monks in the temple, naturally received warm greetings from the monks one after another.
With a gentle face, Qingcheng responded to the endless "Good morning, Abbot" every time.
The area of Longshui Temple is not large.
After dragging his cassock back to his house, Qingcheng arrived in the backyard of the temple and in front of his room in just a short time.
Wow...
Qingcheng slowly opened the door and walked slowly into his room.
As soon as the door was closed tightly, a somewhat joking voice came from the corner of the dark room:
"Qingcheng, your acting skills are really amazing no matter how you look at them."
"It would be great if you were my subordinate. You are really good material to be a ninja."
This joke... seems to have some kind of magic power.
As soon as it rang, the gentle smile on Qingcheng's face disappeared.
"Ha..." The gentle smile turned into a sneer, "Sorry, Yoshijiu, I have no interest in becoming a ninja."
After saying that, Qingcheng threw the cassock on his body to the ground casually, and then walked quickly towards the place where the teasing voice came from. There, sitting cross-legged, was an old man with gray eyes.
"Jijiu, you seem to be very idle."
"I'm so idle that moss is growing on me." Jijiu said lightly, "So I just went outside for a walk and got some fresh air."
"The more I look at Ryusuji Temple, the more I like it." Yoshihisa's lips curled up, "It's strategically located in the center of Osaka, and it happens to be on a higher ground."
"Setting this place as the main formation of the Osaka Spring Formation... is indeed correct."
"I'm really... looking forward to tonight more and more."
After finishing speaking, Jijiu's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Did you go out just now?" Qingcheng curled his lips, "Really, can't you stay here obediently? If the monks in the temple find you, it will be troublesome."
"Do you think it is possible for the monks of this temple to capture the figure of the current leader of Iga no Sato?" Yoshihisa shrugged.

Regarding clarification, you can review Chapter 635.
Yoshihisa is also a character who has appeared before. I wonder if anyone remembers when he first appeared?
