Chapter 15: Forest Ninja

"This is Mori's chance, and it's also our chance. We must not miss it, otherwise we will be desperate!" Fujiha said with some excitement. Although it was mostly acting, you know, he is a ninja who is good at disguise, it would not be so easy to lose his composure, but this also shows the pressure he is under.

The identity of a small businessman was originally just a disguise for Fujiye to the outside world, but now it has become his main occupation. Unfortunately, business is not good now, and he still has to take care of a group of people's food, drink, defecation and urination. In terms of pressure, he is second only to Mori Yu, who is worried about the organization's quick collapse. So after knowing that someone is willing to hire the entire Mori organization, he is determined to make this happen, even if it may be a trap.

The others wanted to express their opinions. After all, they were core members and had the right to do so. However, when Tengye threw out the thin purse with a bad look on his face and heard the faint groan, they swallowed back their words because the most realistic and biggest problem now was eating.

The unknown ninja organization Mori has fallen to this point. Mori Yu couldn't help but feel sad about it, and his wide buttocks could hardly sit still.

However, after touching her stomach, Sen Yu felt that eating was the most important thing now, so she decided to meet the noble as the leader of the Sen organization and try her best to promote the recruitment, even if she had to make some sacrifices for it.

Without further ado, Mori Yu gathered his men who were doing odd jobs in Omizu Town and prepared to follow Taro to Inaya Village.

That's right, Sen has fallen to the point where its members have to do odd jobs. If nothing changes, once people's hearts are broken, Sen will completely become history. No wonder they agreed so quickly, mainly because they can't afford to delay.

After everyone gathered together, Taro discovered that Mori's number of people was even smaller than Fujiki said, only about twenty people, and many of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children. This made him frown, because the elderly, the weak, women and children were completely useless.

In Taro's opinion, instead of recruiting these burdens, it would be better to hire some ronin, but this is the decision of the adults, Taro will only do his best to complete it instead of questioning it.

He used the rice he brought to exchange for some food so that these people could fill their stomachs and prevent them from starving to death on the road. Taro led the way in front with a very unhappy look on his face.

After successfully arriving at Inaya Village, everyone except Mori Yu had to stay here and be watched by Jiro and the foot soldiers. Only she could go to Moroboshi's house with Taro.

Mori Yu specially changed into the new seven-layer shrine maiden costume that was only worn in important ceremonies and occasions. She took a deep breath, then adjusted her clothes that were open a lot to cover her chest that was hiding the kunai, and walked across the wooden bridge in small steps wearing wooden clogs.

After crossing the bridge, with just a glance, Mori Yu knew that the other party was also an outsider. However, the neatly arranged tents and the well-equipped foot soldiers made her dare not despise them at all. Instead, she agreed with what Taro said, that it was their luck to be recruited by this adult, and that this adult really had a lot of money.

"Mori Yu, leader of the Forest Ninja, greets you, sir."

Bent over by the weight of money, Sen Yu knelt respectfully in front of Yan Xu. The amazing curves and bulges made him stunned for a moment.

What man doesn't have lust? When Yan Xu took over Daogu Village, he wanted to be like those male protagonists in the time-travel novels he had read before, finding a poor but beautiful and loyal girl who was like a pearl in the ocean in the village, and then taking her in as a maid and playing with her and cultivating her on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, what Yan Xu saw was just a group of monkeys. Apart from knowing how to put on clothes and kneel down, the only difference between them and monkeys was that they knew how to pay taxes.

So when Yan Xu suddenly saw such a stunning figure and a woman full of young lady charm, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, compared to the middle-aged state of being moved but not physically moved in his previous life, in this life, his body and mind were truly one, and his reaction was amazingly fast. Sometimes, before his brain could react, his body would remind him to be ready.

It’s good to be young and react quickly, but it can easily make people embarrassed.

Fortunately, the second brother was wearing armor. Although he was young and strong, he was not yet powerful enough to break through the armor. Therefore, Yan Xu felt at ease to start the conversation with a critical look and interrogative approach.

The official name of the Mori Ninja is Mori. Its leader, Mori Yu, used to be a shrine maiden in a shrine. Later, when her father and brother had an accident, she was recalled to inherit the family's ninja organization. However, what she took over was a mess left by her father.

As a woman, she has been able to support a ninja organization until now. I wouldn’t say her personal ability is that strong, but at least it’s above average.

In addition to the leader, the Forest Ninja also has five core members named after Fuji, namely Fujiki, Tenghua, Tengye, Tenggen and Tengci. Each of them is good at spying, beauty, disguise, medicine and assassination. They are the core and skeleton of the organization.

In addition, there are five Genin, three new blood, and the rest are old people and women. It can be said that the Forest Ninja is on the verge of disbanding.

Mori Yu wisely did not hide any of these things because she knew very well what the superiors hated the most.

Ninjas are people who walk in darkness. Once they lose trust, all that is left for them is destruction. So even if it means losing opportunities, she cannot hide it, at least things that can be seen on the surface cannot be concealed.

"Very good, you are a smart person. You have won my initial trust with your honesty. You must know how to cherish it, because it is hard to get but easy to lose." Yan Xu, who was sitting cross-legged, said with a smile. As for how he made the judgment, it was naturally the system. Can you still expect him to see through people's hearts?
The system will show the loyalty and morale of those who join him. Right now, Taro has the highest loyalty and morale, followed by Jiro and Village Chief Kimura. Mori Yu has only fifty, which is ambiguous. It all depends on what kind of treatment he will give next.

Taro and Jiro bowed down and were willing to work for him because they were of low status and were eager to stand out. The only one who could give them opportunities and generous treatment was Yan Xu, so they naturally did not hesitate to risk their lives for him.

Sen Yu is different. Although he is down and out, as the leader of an organization after all, it is impossible for him to make a single bet right away. Even if he wants to sell it, he has to sell it at a good price. Fortunately, Yan Xu can afford this price.

When Sen Yu returned to Daogu Village in hurried steps, the Sen members who had been waiting nervously breathed a sigh of relief, but they still remained vigilant and alert.

"From today on, all members of the Forest Ninja swear allegiance to the Moroboshi family. Moroboshi Aomon is the master of the forest. We will protect our master with our lives and never betray him."

After a series of oaths and allegiance ceremonies, Taro came to Mori Yu with a cart full of things and bowed respectfully, because just now the master had granted him the status of a mid-level samurai. The change of identity also represented a change in status, so Taro would certainly not be rude.

However, Taro was not disappointed, because the adults removed his previous title, and now he officially became a foot soldier, only one step away from becoming a samurai, which made him more motivated.
