"Master Fujibayashi misunderstood. Nothing happened to the stronghold. I am only temporarily taking over it."
Seeing the cold smile of Mrs. Momochi, Fujibayashi's heart began to sink. She pretended to be calm and asked.
"Master Baiji, when did you come back from Kanto? What happened to the takeover?
The Central Committee is in the same group as the Army, and rights and responsibilities are clearly defined. Your behavior is an overstep of authority."
Bai Di San Taifu smiled with disdain.
The old Iga people walked in troubled times in a mercenary capacity, and the three Jonin families of Hattori, Hyakuchi, and Fujibayashi helped each other.
When Yoshigan Shiba took over the Iga Kingdom and reorganized the old Iga people, most of the people were transformed into local servants and integrated into the guardianship system of the kingdom.
However, the leaders of the Fujibayashi family and the Momochi family were positioned as intelligence chiefs and lost control of the old Iga clan.
He is on the same team in the management of the Fujibayashi family and is responsible for spying on the center of the shogunate. He is on the same team as the management of the Momochi family and is responsible for intelligence on other recent forces.
Afterwards, Yoshihiro Shiba went to Kanto to open up new territory and took away the army of the Motachi Santafu. All the recent affairs that the Hyakuchi family was responsible for were also handed over to the Central Group.
This time, Momochi Santaofu came back with the order of Shiba Yoshigan to find out the truth behind the murder of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He also brought his own ambition to take the opportunity to overthrow the Fujibayashi family.
She is very familiar with the methods of the old Iga people and the intelligence network of the same group. She sneaked back without Fujibayashi Muku's knowledge.
She took the initiative to show up because the information she had in hand was enough to bring about the downfall of the Fujibayashi family. Now there was only one last step left to take out Fujibayashi.
Faced with Fujibayashi's questioning, Momochi Santafu said with a smile.
"I am also following orders, and I ask Mr. Fujibayashi for your understanding.
If you want to blame, blame the people in your group who have done something wrong and served you unfaithfully. Don’t blame others."
Fujibayashi Muku secretly thought something bad.
Momochi Santao is a long-established Jonin, cunning and insidious. If she had not grasped the real evidence, she would never have said such cruel words.
But at this time, she couldn't allow Teng Linmiao to bow her head and accept her fate, so she said solemnly.
"Lord Baidi, you must not slander others, and you must speak responsibly."
Bai Di San Tai Fu smiled coldly.
"Of course I have evidence for what I said. Please, Mr. Fujibayashi, come and see my evidence together."
The starlings in the vine forest glanced around, figures swaying in the trees, and dangers lurking everywhere.
Bai Di San Tai Fu talked nonsense with her for a long time, fearing that the surrounding arrangements had been made to prevent her from breaking out.
Fujibayashi Mukuro, who had lost the opportunity, had no choice but to nod.
"I'd like to ask you, Master Baidi, to lead the way."
Momochi Santao walked past Fujibayashi Mukuro and motioned for her to follow him.
The followers beside Fujibayashi wanted to go together, but two shurikens shot out from the surrounding trees and were nailed in front of their steps.
After looking around, Fujibayashi signaled his followers to wait where they were before walking into the stronghold alone.
Fujibayashi followed Momochi Santafu and walked inside until he reached the wooden house in charge of interrogation in the stronghold. He already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Momochi Santao did not open the door immediately, but instead turned around and smiled at Fujibayashi Mukuro.
"Master Fujibayashi, how stupid can a person be?
She actually borrowed the old secret road of the Iga people to go to Kanto via Shinano country. I also accepted the order of the lord and returned to Koki in an emergency, and happened to meet her.
It's not like you said she defected. She didn't hide her traces, but asked to see the Lord. But if she hadn't defected, what would be the crime of leaving her post without permission?"
Fujibayashi said with a bitter look on his face.
"Perhaps she has unspeakable pain and can only express it to the Lord alone."
Bai Di San Taifu nodded, pretending to suddenly realize.
"I see, Master Fujibayashi is right, but this puts me in a difficult position.
My lord ordered me to return to recent times to find out the truth about the turmoil, but that person had some misunderstandings about me and was unwilling to tell me frankly.
As a last resort, I had to resort to some means. As you know, some of the means we use to endure the crowd are always unsightly.
Alas, a good person can't say anything properly. Nowadays, people are no longer human beings, and ghosts are no longer ghosts. They just tell everything.
Can the human body be made of iron? Why should we suffer those kinds of sins? Why can’t we ask for anything under three trees?
Tell me, is this true?"
Fujibayashi's body trembled slightly when he heard it, his eyes were filled with mist, and he bit his lower lip and remained silent.
Bai Di San Taifu looked at her for a while and saw that she had no intention of interfacing, so he opened the door of the wooden house with a smile and said.
"Comrades, many things are not what I want. It's just that the master's orders have to be taken seriously. I hope Lord Fujibayashi won't blame me."
Fujibayashi Mukuro was no longer interested in being hypocritical and polite with Momochi Santai. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and walked in.
The wooden house was dark and damp, with several ninjas guarding the four corners, staring intently at Fujibayashi Muku as she entered the door, as if to prevent her from violently injuring anyone.
When Fujibayashi Muku entered here, he already understood the evil intentions of Momochi Santao. She was just stimulating herself to lose her mind, so that she could take the opportunity to take him down and kill him first and then show off.
Knowing that this was the conspiracy of Momochi Santao, he must not fall into the trap. But when he saw the huddled figure on the ground, Fujibayashi's eyes turned red for an instant.
She felt so distressed that she took two steps forward, wanting to see her sister clearly.
Tenglin Xing, who was on the ground, felt someone approaching, but she squirmed in fear and ran away desperately, whimpering indistinctly.
"I've said it all, I've told you everything. I've really said it all, no more, no more..."
Fujibayashi looked at his sister who was struggling desperately on the ground. She was like a fish on the chopping board, flopping around. Her hands and feet were unable to hang down, and she could only use her upper arms and thighs to twist.
Fujibayashi's eyes widened, and there was no light in her eyes. Fujibayashi shook his hand in front of her, but got no response.
She is already blind.
