Yoshigami glanced at Sarutobi Sasuke and asked Kirigakure.
"Why did Sarutobi Sasuke follow you?"
Kirigakure felt helpless, but she managed to get through this test.
Momochi Santao left Kanto and took most of the ninjas with him. The remaining Waiguakaizao were not enough for Kirigakure to use, and the information about Kanto was very important to Shiba Yoshigan, so he kept an eye on it.
Kirigakure was hiding in Kanto and was in a hurry. He was too worried about his head and not his buttocks. Sarutobi Sasuke was willing to help, so he conveniently used her.
She was thinking to herself that Sanada Nobushige was now also a big boss at the Kanto Palace and was deeply involved in the Kanto strategy, so she needed information to judge the situation.
Sasuke Sarutobi was born in the Koga style, and his level is not low. Kirigakure Zaizou uses her talents, and Sanada Nobushige gets some information, which is a win-win situation.
Who knew that Nobushige Sanada is not a thing, he only deceives his friends.
Nagano Yamasa of Nishi Ueno died of illness and kept it secret from the outside world. Sanada Nobushige discovered something was wrong through Obata Nobutada's connections.
She asked Sasuke Sarutobi to use the intelligence network of the Kanto Secrecy Group to verify, and finally came up with the explosive news of raiding Nishi Ueno and taking Minawa Castle.
West Ueno is now divided into three parts, with Sanada Nobushige occupying Minawa Castle in the north, Obata Nobusada returning to Kunimine Castle in the middle, the Hojo family returning to Hirai Castle in the south, and the Takeda family eying the Usui Pass.
The good game in Nishi Ueno turned into a mahjong table, and I really don’t know how it will end.
Sanada Nobushige was a bad and cowardly bastard, but after he was done, he became frightened. He said that he was loyal to Shiba Yoshigan and did not dare to hide anything from the emperor, so he insisted on being frank and lenient.
Kirigakure was extremely angry. What would he do if Sanada Nobunari was asked to tell the truth? The ninja must be the most loyal lackeys of the lord, otherwise they will be ripped off at any time.
As a last resort, Kirigakure Saizou could only bring Sarutobi Sasuke with him, take the initiative to explain the matter clearly, and strive for leniency.
When Sarutobi Sasuke saw Yoshigan asking him, Kirigakure Saizou's body trembled subconsciously and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It wasn't that she and Sanada Nobushige wanted to embarrass Kirigakuzaizo. The original method discussed among the Sanada people was to pretend to be dead and get through.
But Sanada Nobushige went to Toshin and received advice from Sanada Yukitaka before his death. After discussing with Umino Riichi, he decided to confess to his lord.
Yukitaka Sanada is a mature man and has figured out the core of the problem, which is the trust of the master.
During the raid on Nishi Ueno, Sanada Nobushige pretended to be dead, so Yoshigan Shiba didn't know the truth? He just had no evidence for the moment, but he was as clear as a mirror in his heart.
Sanada Nobushige has always been very eccentric in his actions and would jump out of style from time to time. Yoshihiro Shiba tolerated this several times because of Sanada's special background.
The Shino clan, where Sanada was born, is a prominent clan in the Shinano Kanto Mountains. These mountain people share the same belief in the mountains and are very united.
Yoshigan intends to win over the Shino clan and use these mountain people from Kanto to intervene in the situation in Kanba Province. Sanada Nobushige is his chosen spokesperson.
Sanada Nobushige often made news, but the results were mostly beneficial to the expansion of the Kanto Palace, so Yoshihiro Shiba was willing to tolerate him.
After all, one cannot care too much about mountain monkeys. The prime minister's heart can hold a boat.
But taking the initiative to tolerate is one thing, being deliberately deceived is another.
Yukitaka Sanada is right when he says that you have to admit your mistakes. The worst thing you can do is accept them with an open mind and refuse to change after repeated admonitions. If you make mistakes next time and it will be beneficial, admit them again.
Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you must not have any thoughts of deception, because if the Sanada people want to eat with Shiba Yigen for a long time, they must show loyalty.
Loyalty is the foundation of a long-term meal ticket. If Sanada Nobushige wants to gain a place in the Kanto Palace and the Shiba family, he must be loyal.
Today, the Sanada people have controlled a territory of about 50,000 koku. Whether it is large or small, it is enough to make Shiba Yigen feel afraid.
At this time, if Sanada Nobushige tries to be clever, he will make himself unhappy and create obstacles for his future.
Therefore, Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi finally negotiated and asked Sarutobi Sasuke to follow Kirigakure Saizo to report on the work, putting these two friends in the front to be scolded.
Not to mention Kirigakure was so angry that he vomited blood, Sarutobi Sasuke was also itching his teeth with hatred, both of them were secretly cursing themselves for being blind and making the wrong friends.
Seeing the two people chatting in silence, Yiyin snorted and said.
"What? You two have nothing to say to me?"
The two looked at each other, kowtowed to the ground and shouted.
"My servant is guilty!"
Yoshigan sneered. The moment he saw Sarutobi Sasuke, he knew that Sanada Nobunaga was playing tricks again.
Everyone knows that he, Yoshigan Shiba, cherishes his old friendship the most. Back then, Sanada Nobushige, Sarutobi Sasuke, and Kirigakure saved his life outside the battlefield of Kawanakajima.
There is nothing better than rescuing someone, so the three of them thrived. Sarutobi Sasuke, who was from the worst family background, also ended up eating under the auspices of Shiba's retainers.
Sanada Nobushige knew he was guilty, so he asked these two people to come and confess their mistakes, just to make Yoshigami remember the three people's contribution to the rescue. This little swindler became worse and worse.
However, Yiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The land of Nishi Ueno is not peaceful now. He has decided not to pursue Sanada Nobunaga's unauthorized actions and let her guard Nishi Ueno. But this matter has a knot in his heart.
Now that Sanada Nobushige asked Sarutobi Sasuke to come, it seemed that he was ready to take the initiative to explain his mistakes, and Yoshigan's mood suddenly improved.
Competent people are always disobedient.
Sanada Nobushige is a talent, and what she does often causes headaches. But as long as she understands dignity and respect, she can still be used.
Although he felt much better in his heart, Yiyin's face was solemn and he said coldly.
"What crime? Tell me."
Kirigakure hid his trembling fingers and gritted his teeth.
"When Mr. Momochi Sataifu left Kanto, he took a large number of people with him. The Kanto intelligence network was stretched thin, so I had no choice but to find Sasuke Sarutobi for help."
Sarutobi Sasuke stared at Kirigakure Saizo's back, wishing he could take out his shuriken and stab her a few times to vent his hatred. Who are these two!
Sanada Nobushige pushed her to the front, and Kirigakure just hid himself and gently held her against the cylinder. What? All the big mistakes were made by me, a little ninja, and you are all accomplices?
Yoshigan smiled and looked at Sarutobi Sasuke.
"Sarutobi Sasuke, I remember that you have fifty koku of Chiyuki, which was sent by the master to work under Sanada Nobunige.
I grant you the status of a martial artist and reward you for your knowledge and deeds. Are you satisfied with the reward I gave you for your help on Kawanaka Island?"
Sarutobi Sasuke kowtowed to the ground and said.
"My lord is so kind, I will remember it in my heart and shed tears of gratitude."
Yiyin said with a straight face.
"Since you are satisfied, why are you disloyal to your duties and causing trouble when I leave Kanto?
Sanada Nobunaga uses you because she treats you as a sibling, offering food and clothes to you. Kirigakure uses you because she trusts you as a person and takes pity on your talent.
How could you live up to the expectations of the two of them and cause such a big disturbance in Nishi Ueno!"
Sarutobi Sasuke looked at his master in astonishment, with a sad and angry expression on his face. Kirigakure Saizo was also stunned and speechless.
Yiyin laughed in his heart.
Sanada Nobushige and Kirigakure Saizo put the responsibility on Sarutobi Sasuke, trying to explain it in the direction of urgent information and urgent matters, and then reduce big things to trivial matters.
Of course Yoshigan knew that Sarutobi Sasuke was the most innocent of the three, but since your sisters kicked you out to take the blame, Yoshigan simply treated you as the culprit.
Sanada Nobushige knew that Yoshigage needed to guard Nishi Ueno by himself, and Kirigakure Saizo knew that no one in the Kanto Intelligence Network could take his place for the time being, so the Lord could use him.
But you sent Sasuke Sarutobi yourselves, and Yoshiyin has to take care of it. Everything cannot be your wish, but you must also know what it means to know that the power of God is unpredictable.
Yiyin said calmly.
"From now on, Sasuke Sarutobi will be deprived of his status as a Shiba clan warrior, take back the fifty stone tomoyo land, drive him out of the Shiba clan, and never hire him."
Yoshigin's few soft words were like a thunderbolt in Sarutobi Sasuke's ears, and he fell to the ground in a state of confusion.
Although she unconsciously followed Nobunige Sanada to save Yoshigan Shiba, her identity as Shiba's retainer is now the foundation for her to settle down and live.
Yiyin wanted to take back the reward and chased her out of Shiba's house, turning her into a rootless duckweed. She was immediately frightened and her mind went blank.
Kirigakure Saizo on the side was also horrified. Before she could explain, Yoshigami made a punishment, and it was a severe punishment second only to seppuku.
She couldn't help but say.
"Master, please listen to my explanation."
Yiyin glanced at her, and her words were stuck in her throat.
"Explain what?
Tell me that Nagano Yamasa is dead and Nishi-Ueno is leaderless. Sanada Nobushige has no choice but to enter Nishi-Ueno and take over the local samurai family?
Or tell me that the information is urgent and you didn't have time to pass it on to the nearest neighbor. Sasuke Sarutobi accidentally leaked the information, and that's why General Sanada Nobushige's military orders were violated?
Kirigakure Saizo, do you and Sanada Nobushige think I'm stupid? Or do you believe that your own value is worth my pretending to be stupid?"
Kirigakure Saizo was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head to reply.
Yoshigan glanced at the pitiful Sarutobi Sasuke behind her. This girl was so frightened that she had not yet recovered.
Shaking his head, Yiyin sighed.
"Don't take my tolerance as a basis for your luck to get through.
You and Nobushige Sanada should be glad that you came to confess your crimes on your own and did not want to keep me in the dark.
I have fulfilled your wish and regard this matter as Sasuke Sarutobi's personal mistake. Why are you still dissatisfied?
What? You want me to investigate seriously? Which one of you can withstand strict investigation?
Please listen to me clearly and send a message to Nobushige Sanada. Next time before doing something stupid, think carefully about the consequences.
Think about the sisters, relatives, friends, and tribesmen who follow you. They will pay the price for every mistake you make.
Today, you are lucky. Sarutobi Sasuke saved my life, and I am willing to accept your explanation.
But I won’t be so lucky next time.”
Kirigakure Saizo pressed his head firmly against the ground, sweat dripping from his back.
Shiba Yiyin is a kind lord, but he is also an unparalleled male warrior god of war. He is usually tolerant, but he doesn't want to care about it. If he really wants to care about it, someone will be in trouble.
If you bring Sasuke Sarutobi to your door, Yoshigami won't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, whipping her bloody and bloody, and giving you a profound warning.
Anyway, Sanada Nobushige already has a territory of nearly 50,000 koku, and she has enough ability to compensate for Sarutobi Sasuke's loss.
Just losing his status as a Shiba clan warrior made Sasuke Sarutobi, a mountain man with a humble background, suddenly lose a lot of status.
Let Sanada Nobushige and Kirigakure Saizo slowly taste this guilt towards their sisters.
Yiyin said coldly.
"Sarutobi Sasuke is no longer Shiba's retainer, and she is no longer allowed to participate in the affairs of the Kanto Secrecy Group.
Kirigakure is hiding, but your lack of strict control has led to the leakage of information. Go down and receive ten whips yourself, and you will be able to cut off thirty stones with knowledge and practice.
get out!"
Yoshigami waved his hand casually, and Kirigakure bowed his head to thank him. He pulled Sarutobi Sasuke, who was still in a trance, to kowtow, and then left.
Her loss was also very heavy. Even if she was knocked down with fifty lashes, her knowledge and practice were only fifty stones. It was a symbol of the status of the martial arts family, transcending classes, and the foundation for a stable life.
Now, because of Sanada Nobushige, I have lost thirty koku and only have twenty koku left. It is really heartbreaking.
Kirigakure Saizo has made up his mind not to associate with this bastard Sanada Nobushige in the future. He cannot make this kind of friend.
Half dragging, half pulling, Kirigakure managed to pull the limp Sarutobi Sasuke out of the door. Suddenly, Sarutobi Sasuke in her hand sat down on the ground, wanting to cry loudly.
Kirigakure Saizo quickly warned.
"Silence! The master is still inside!"
Sarutobi Sasuke, who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, pursed his lips with a tangled expression, which finally turned into a whine in his throat, and he swallowed.
"He is your master, not mine. I have been kicked out of the Shiba family."
Kirigakure Saizo wanted to warn her, but looking at her like a defeated dog who had been kicked out, he couldn't bear it.
After sighing, Kirigakure stepped forward and patted her shoulder, whispering.
"Forget it, go back and ask Sanada Nobushige to supply you with Tomoyo."
Sarutobi Sasuke opened her hand and said bitterly.
"Nonsense! Of course she has to compensate! She has to double it! You are nothing, so you and she put the blame on me!"
Kirigakure Saizo shook his sore hand, feeling a little embarrassed indeed.
Sarutobi Sasuke continued to complain.
"She occupies so much territory in Nishi Ueno, but I have nothing... But even if I can make up for it with knowledge and experience, what will happen to my identity?
The Shiba family, the Ashikaga clan, a relative of the shogun family, the identity of this retainer... Based on Sanada Nobushige's family background, and the clan status of the Shino clan's group of savages, this heaven and earth...
Can she afford the compensation?"
Sasuke Sarutobi burst into tears as he spoke. Kirigakure thought about the thirty stone tomoyochi he had lost and the ten whips he was about to receive as punishment. He vaguely felt that his back began to hurt even before the whips were struck.
The two of them spat and cursed at the same time.
"This bastard, break off the relationship!"
———
After the two left, Yiyin was still admiring the autumn in the courtyard. For a moment, there was the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves behind him. He did not look back, but said casually.
"Get ready, we will go south to Numata Castle tomorrow."
For a while, there was no response from behind.
Yiyin looked back and saw a muddy little loli who looked no more than seven or eight years old.
The child was so timid that he looked at Yiyin and let out a sweet cry.
