My name is Akira, and Akira Mitsuhide was originally my brother's name.
I was originally an ordinary Wu family woman. Although my mother has been very strict with me since she was a child, she was forced to follow her brother and mother because of the capture of the family's residence. Although she had been hungry and full, this is how life in troubled times, isn't it?
Although there was no life for those women who had no worries about food and clothing, my mother loved me very much, and my brother loved me very much, so I fled to Echizen's tribe together and had a happy life. That was enough. But all of this came to an abrupt end in the second year of Yonglu (1559).
Speaking of which, it is thanks to your previous master's family, Imakawa family.
My brother, sister-in-law and my cousin Akichi Hideman went to Kyoto to visit friends after the autumn harvest that year. However, he was attacked by your Imakawa family on the mountain road east of Kyoto. Both my brother and cousin were attacked and killed. Although the warriors of your Imakawa family offered a lot of money to apologize afterwards, indicating that they were attacked by an unknown ninja, but they could not be resurrected. What is the point?
The Zhizhi family has lost all the males. In this chaotic Warring States period, we are only qualified to be removed from the list. We are even worse than the Jingyi family that Hongye took in. They have at least one young son who survived.
My mother couldn't bear to see the Akima family cut off, but my sister-in-law was not pregnant and didn't even expect a posthumous child. The Akima family fell into such a situation and couldn't find someone to adopt her. So my mother asked me, who was only 15 years old at the time, to dress up as a man, and continue to live under the name of her brother as "Akima Mitsuhide".
I am just a shy and restrained girl, and I will blush even when talking to strangers. How can I enter the house as a man? But there is no way, for the sake of the incense of wise home, I can only do this.
However, since I was 14 years younger than my brother, my acquaintances would be seen through in an instant. So our family could only wander again, exiled to Wakasa Kingdom, and later exiled to Kyoto. I have been afraid of being discovered countless times, and my mother's painstaking efforts have turned into vain. But I don't know if it was fate or if I really dressed too much, no one has ever doubted it from beginning to end.
When I arrived in Kyoto, I had been working hard for many years and finally got the opportunity to be born. With the introduction of His Highness Hosokawa, I finally became a close friend of the Gongfang Temple.
You will know the story after that.
After Akechi Mitsuhide finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Yu Qiuping. The latter, who was now in deep thought.
·
There is nothing else, because in Akechi Mitsuhide's story, it seems that it has an intersection with the butterfly effect after his time travel.
In the second year of Echonro (1559)… The Imakawa family, Kyoto?
That year, I seemed to have come to Kyoto with His Highness Sename. At that time, what did His Highness Sename mention?
Our trip seemed to have been delayed for a day?
What exactly is it?
I remembered it! His Highness Seine said at that time!

"In addition, our ninjas were ambushed by an unknown person in the mountains east of Kyoto. When they fought back, they accidentally killed two samurai soldiers who came to Kyoto from the north with their families." Semeishi Toshi sighed with regret, "I have arranged a few men to compensate them, so we will have to wait a day before we can set off."
·
Yu Qiuping felt that the eyes suddenly became clear, and layers of fog instantly dissipated.
Akichi Mitsuhide in his previous life was not a woman, but a man who was in his fifties during the Honnoji Incident.
In this life, due to Yu Qiuhei's time travel, the Imakawa family went to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshiki. During this trip to Kyoto, the Imakawa family's ninja accidentally killed Akichi Mitsuhide. Although the latter was still an unknown junior at the time, it was of great importance in future history. If Akichiran did not disguise herself as a man, the Akichi family would be cut off, and the Honnoji Incident was in no way possible, and Japan's history would be completely changed.
This is the so-called butterfly effect.

"Why are you staring at someone?" Akihi Mitsuhide saw Yu Qiuping staring at her face in a daze, her face turned slightly red, and she turned her head away with embarrassment.
"Kumhisho, why are you..." Yu Qiuping came back to her senses. She was about to condemn Akichi's tone and said that she was such a strange tone, but suddenly she realized that she was a girl. "Or... should I call you Lan?"
"Call me, Kumaxiu, didn't Hongye promise me that I couldn't tell you about this?" Akihi Mitsui frowned when she heard this, and her tone and voice suddenly turned into a man. This rapid transformation made Yu Qiuping unable to keep up.
"Then why did you appear in the teahouse in women's clothing?" Yu Qiuping suddenly remembered a question, "Do you still remember it? I saw you in the teahouse a few days before my first meeting with you!"
"I remember, you, a prodigal son, followed me with a lot of subordinates." Akichi Mitsuhide said this, his fair cheeks turned red again, "It's so shameless."
"No, no, no!" Yu Qiuping waved his hand hurriedly when he saw this, "It's not like that..."
"I'm not interested in listening to the extra explanation." Akichi Mitsuhide's voice instantly changed from a wronged woman to a serious male voice. "I thought I had arrived in a strange place, and even women's clothing would not have any problems, but I didn't want to meet Hongye. So when I first met Hongye, I was quite surprised, but fortunately Hongye didn't notice it."
"That's it..." Yu Qiuping scratched his head awkwardly, and didn't know what to say, and said for no reason: "Will you be so hard for so many years?"
However, the words he asked casually made Akichi Mitsuhide silent. She lowered her head without saying a word, and the leaping firelight made Yu Qiuping see the tears suddenly gushing out of Akichi Mitsuhide's eyes.
Yu Qiuping sighed, and his unconscious words might have poked her sore spot.
Before Yu Qiuping could react, the woman beside him suddenly lay on his shoulder and whimpered softly. The crying became more and more rapid, gradually turning into sobs, and tears could not stop flowing down.
For the survival of the family, a girl in the flower season had to give up her beautiful skirt, put on her thick and thick body, and wrapped her bud-like figure tightly with a stiff breast wrap. She could no longer be as lively as a girl when dealing with others, but instead was the seriousness of a man.
This is over the years, she has not known how much hardships and how many grievances she has suffered. She carefully concealed her woman's nature behind the mask of a gentle warrior. She only dared to change into women's clothes when it was late at night and looked at her worldly face in the bronze mirror with helpless eyes.
No one told her bitterness and pain. She did not dare to tell her sister-in-law and her mother, afraid of adding burden to the sad people; she did not dare to tell her maids and guards, afraid that they would leak news; she did not dare to tell her friends, because they were destined to be incomprehensible and would also cause criticism. Repression, loneliness soon destroyed the woman, but she had to resist them tenaciously. In front of others, he was still the gentle and elegant wise Mitsuhide.
Today, it was the first time she cried in front of others, crying out all the bitterness and pain of more than ten years. In front of a person who accidentally broke his identity, in front of a person who acted as a close friend, in front of a good person who refused to give up his companion and almost gambled his life in order to save her.
In front of a man she used to be a little throbbing.
Show her fragile feelings as a woman.

"Don't live like a red leaf..." Yu Qiuping looked at Akichi Mitsuhide who was lying on his shoulder and cried bitterly, and suddenly comforted him: "If there is anything, it will be much better to say it out loud. Don't hold it alone."
"What are you going to do in the future?" Yu Qiuping asked again when he saw that Akichi Mitsuhide did not respond.
"What should I do?" Akichi Mitsuhide seemed to be unable to cry anymore, and moved her cheeks away from Yu Qiuping's shoulders, and replied with red eyes, "I can only keep pretending like this... Otherwise, what else can I do?"
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you how you plan to leave this isolated island." Yu Qiuping said angrily and amusedly, "I'm not sure about life and death now, so how can I think about anything else? Although there is Tamsui on this island, it's impossible for us to not go back."
"Can you go back by making a raft?" Akatsuki Mitsuhide tentatively made a suggestion.
"It seems to be OK, but I don't know how long it will take." Yu Qiuping sighed and handed Akichi Mitsuhide a grilled fish on the fire to Akichi Mitsuhide, "No matter what, fill your stomach first."
Akichi Mitsuhide smiled and reached out to pick up the grilled fish handed over by Yuqiuping. He took it hard, but Yuqiuping did not let go, but just stared straight into the southwest. Akichi Mitsuhide looked back in surprise and saw a lit light of fire on the lake in the southwest of Lake Biwa.
·
"Is it the fleet?" Akichi Mitsuhide reacted suddenly and immediately realized that it was their bonfire that attracted the fleet to drive in this direction. "Is it the enemy or friends? Do you want to extinguish the bonfire?"
"I think it's a friendly army! Such a large fleet cannot be fishermen. Someone must have organized them to find us who fell into the water." Yu Qiuhei thought for a moment and replied with great certainty, "From the southwest direction, it is likely that we are from our Oda family! And if we take a step back, even the Asakura family will not make things difficult for us! You and the Asakura family also have old age, even the Asakura family will not kill us!"
After making up their minds, Yu Qiuping and Akechi Mitsuhide did not extinguish the bonfire, but immediately lit several bonfires on the island and reefs, signaling that there were people in the rescue fleet. Seeing this, the rescue fleet slowly accelerated its speed and rushed towards the island and reefs. Yu Qiuping and Akechi Mitsuhide stood anxiously by the island and reefs, looking at the direction of the coming ship. When the ship got closer, Yu Qiuping could vaguely hear some sounds. It was an almost hoarse female voice with a crying voice, which was particularly far away from the quiet lake.
It's the voice of Longzi!
Saved!
