At present, Takehiko Ito, who has lost his legs, has announced his retirement early and has handed over the actual control of the Ito family to his daughter Nanako Ito.
However, he did not immediately become a hands-off shopkeeper.
Instead, he has changed from the former patriarch of the Ito family to the current staff behind Ito Nanako, providing his daughter with some judgment and resource help.
But Nanako Ito is very capable at work, so most of the time he, as a staff member, is actually idle at home.
At this time, he was playing with some Japanese potted plants in his yard in Tokyo with his loyal servant Tanaka.
A servant suddenly ran in with a panic expression and blurted out: "Master, the eldest lady suddenly summoned the four major ninja families and asked all the ninjas from the four major ninja families to gather at Narita Airport tonight and fly to China!"
"What?!" Takehiko Ito was dumbfounded and asked with surprise: "Why did Nanako suddenly summon so many ninjas to China?"
"I don't know either..." The servant said in a panic: "The total number of ninjas from the four major families is at least a hundred. I don't know why the eldest lady wants to go to war in such a big way, so I quickly report to you..."
Tanaka Koichi, who was on the side, was also shocked and said: "President, would you like to call the eldest lady and ask her? It is really unusual for her to suddenly summon so many ninjas..."
Takehiko Ito said: "Tanaka, I am no longer the president. I will change my title in the future."
After saying that, he added: "The current president is Nanako. All matters of the Ito family and all external available resources should be decided by her alone. In theory, if she doesn't take the initiative to tell me about this matter, I won't
You should ask."
Tanaka Hiroshi nodded and said: "What you said is correct, but...but this matter is too unusual. If there is no major event, the eldest lady will never call ninjas, and she still called four ninjas at once.
All the ninjas in the great ninja family, if they are not careful, it is easy for big things to happen..."
Takehiko Ito sighed and said: "I have handed over the position of general to Nanako. In theory, I must trust her unconditionally and support and respect every decision she makes. The new king will succeed and the old king will take charge of politics.
, has always been the starting point for the collapse of internal affairs. The Ito family has been able to reach this day, and every president of the Ito family has tried their best to avoid such a thing from happening, and I cannot set this precedent."
Tanaka Koichi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I understand what you mean..."
Takehiko Ito nodded slightly and told the servant who came to report the news: "Go and do your work. Don't tell anyone about this matter."
The servant immediately bowed deeply and shouted respectfully: "Hi!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.
Takehiko Ito continued to play with the potted plant in his hand, but found that Tanaka Koichi next to him seemed very absent-minded, so he put down the potted plant in his hand and said calmly: "Tanaka, trust Nanako, she will not do anything irresponsible rashly.
Decide."
Tanaka Koichi said with shame: "You are right, my subordinates should not worry too much..."
Takehiko Ito nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, these landscaping pots will be finished today, so hurry up!"
"Hi!"
At this moment, Ito Nanako walked in quickly and anxiously. Seeing Takehiko Ito and Koichi Tanaka playing with potted plants in the yard, she immediately stepped forward, bowed and said: "Father! Nanako just did not give your permission without your consent.
, summoned all the ninjas from the four major families, please forgive me!"
Takehiko Ito smiled and said: "Nanako, you are the president of the Ito family. You do not need my approval to make any decision."
Ito Nanako pursed her lips, tears burst into her eyes instantly, and she swallowed: "Odo-san... Ye Chenjun... is in trouble..."
"What?!" Takehiko Ito exclaimed, "Mr. Ye is in trouble? A man with such great powers as Mr. Ye shouldn't be in any real trouble, right?"
Nanako Ito's tears had long been uncontrollable, and she sobbed: "This time, Mr. Ye Chen... was approached by the world's top mercenary organization, Wanlong Palace... It is said that the Ye family has a blood feud with the master of Wanlong Palace, and the other party has now gone.
The Ye family is seeking revenge..."
"Ten Thousand Dragons Hall?!" Takehiko Ito felt dizzy and blurted out: "How could the Ye family mess with Ten Thousand Dragons Hall..."
Ito Nanako shook her head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Wanlong Palace has killed the Ye family today, leaving more than a hundred coffins, saying that it wants to destroy the Ye family..."
Takehiko Ito asked her: "You urgently summoned all the ninjas from the four major families just to go to Yanjing to help Mr. Ye?"
"That's right!" Nanako Ito nodded resolutely and said, "Mr. Ye Chen has been kind to me, but now that he is in trouble, I can't sit idly by and watch!"
Takehiko Ito said with a complicated expression: "But... the ninjas of the four major families are no match for the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace..."
With that said, Takehiko Ito said again: "I still know a little bit about the situation in the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace. There are tens of thousands of elite mercenaries and more than a hundred top masters. With this kind of strength, except for the top three families in the world, any one can
No business family can afford to offend, including us."
Having said this, Takehiko Ito paused slightly and continued: "A few years ago, the Yamaguchi-gumi had friction with Wanryuden in the Middle East for some illegal business. At that time, hundreds of members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were killed by a branch of Wanryuden.
The tactical team of less than twenty people killed all of them without leaving a single person alive. Since then, the Yamaguchi-gumi who are walking around the country will take a detour when they hear the words Wanlong Temple..."
Ito Nanako blurted out: "Oudosang, I can't care about this anymore. No matter what, I will do my best to help Ye Chenjun, even if I die in China, I will not hesitate!"
Takehiko Ito looked at Nanako Ito's unwavering expression and was silent for a moment. Then he sighed, waved his hands feebly and said: "Go! Since you have made up your mind, there is no point in saying more. I just have two things to tell you.
.”
Hearing this, Nanako Ito felt happy and hurriedly said: "Odo-san, please tell me!"
Takehiko Ito said very seriously: "The first thing is that many so-called warriors are not truly brave, but what people often say is 'the one who does not know is fearless', so you must remember that you will not be brave until you actually face the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace."
At that moment, don't let the ninjas from the four major families know who the enemy they are going to face this time, otherwise, I believe no one of them would dare to get on the plane."
Ito Nanako bit her lip, nodded heavily and said: "Odo-san, Nanako understands!"
Takehiko Ito nodded, looked at her with some reluctance, and said lovingly: "The second thing is, no matter what, you must live! Odo-san has lost his legs. If I lose you again, my life will no longer be there."
significance."
Nanako Ito burst into tears, immediately knelt on the ground, took Takehiko Ito's hand, and said: "Don't worry, Odo-san, Nanako will do her best!"
Takehiko Ito couldn't control his inner emotions, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his face.
Then, he looked at Ito Nanako and said with emotion: "That's all, Nanako, Odo-san go to Yanjing with you!"
Nanako Ito asked in great surprise: "Odo-san, are you going too?"
Takehiko Ito nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Ye is very kind to the Ito family. Now that he is in such big trouble, I should go and help!"
In fact, there was something that Takehiko Ito didn't say. He looked at Nanako Ito and sighed in his heart: "Nanako, you are Odo-san's only daughter. If you go to Yanjing, you will definitely die, so it should be Odo-san who takes your place.
