Chapter 41 The Master's Gift
Sen Yu stayed to discuss the city building, because Yan Xu wanted to build a mountain city that was more suitable for defense, and ninjas would definitely be more suitable to explore the terrain in the mountains.
However, he remembered the statue of Guandi he brought with him, and the construction of the temple must be done as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Sen Yu went back and brought a map that was drawn by Sen Zhinin after he ran around the surrounding area. It was a little more detailed.
Yan Xu didn't expect that Mori Shinobu had prepared it in advance. Yes, he was a good employee and it was worth his bringing the things. So he took it and looked at it carefully.
There are two mountains above Yan Xu's location, not high. One is called Wild Boar Mountain and the other is called Guiwan Mountain. There is a river in the middle called Tongchuan River.
The Japanese like to call big rivers "chuan". This river is not big, so it is called Tongchuan River, which means a small river that has not grown yet.
Through the map, Yan Xu had a more intuitive understanding. He felt that the surrounding terrain was pretty good, and the two neighbors had fought each other and were half-crippled, so it was quite suitable for settling down. The only thing he didn't know was whether there was a water source on the mountain. If there was no water source, building a mountain city would be suicidal.
Fortunately, although Wild Boar Mountain has not been explored yet, Guiwan Mountain has completed the map with the consent of Red Ghost. The specially marked water ripples on it made Yan Xu very happy.
"There are not only waterfalls on the mountain, but also hot springs and clear springs. It looks pretty good. Let's go up the mountain to take a look tomorrow." Yan Xu clicked on the map and decided.
"Also, the map is very good, but it still needs to be improved. As for the rewards, I brought some equipment and will take it away later."
"It's our honor to serve the master." Sen Yu did not refuse, because the master's reward could not be refused, so she knelt down with a snap to express her gratitude. The curves from her hips to her neck were astonishing, like a slide. And because she used too much force, the two big white rabbits in her arms almost squeezed out of her lapels, which made Yan Xu stunned for a moment. In the end, he encouraged her a few words and let her go.
Yan Xu was an honest man in his previous life. He had never been in love, never been a hooligan, and had only one woman in his entire life, his wife. For half of his life, not to mention cheating on his wife, he didn't even have an ambiguous partner. He was a role model, so he planned to do something different in this life. He even brought half a pack of small umbrellas, which he got from the town's Family Planning Office for free.
Although all the hardware and software are available, Yan Xu will not mess around with his subordinates. He is well aware of the disadvantages of not distinguishing between public and private, so he has to endure it even if he has to rely on his hands.
After returning to the Forest Village, Mori Yu, who was almost backstabbed by his master, thanked the foot soldiers who helped deliver the things. When he stood up, there were already several Genin standing behind him.
"Move the things to the main house. There can't be any mistakes." Sen Yu was no longer gentle at all at this moment. His eyes were cold and his tone was emotionless.
However, the Genin had long been accustomed to their role as tools, and two people lifted the heavy boxes and walked towards the main house in silence.
The so-called main house is where Mori Yu lives, and it is also where the core members of the Forest Ninjas hold meetings. Except for Fujiha, everyone else is already there, because they know that the master must have a mission when he asks the leader to go there.
"The master is very satisfied with Sen Zhinin's recent performance, but we can't be proud. We must keep up the good work. We must do in advance what the master has thought of, and we must prepare in advance for what the master has not expected. Otherwise, what use will the master have for us!" Sen Yu reprimanded in a stern tone.
Everyone present, no matter how senior they were, bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, because now Sen Yu was not only the leader of the Mori Ninja, but also fulfilled the obligation of loyalty to his master. Unless they chose to betray, they could only obey.
Of course, both Sen Yu and these people knew that she was using the power of her master to consolidate her position, but no one thought there was a problem because this was what Sen Yu deserved.
If it weren't for Sen Yu's decision, they would probably still be wandering around, living a life worse than dogs, not as stable, goal-oriented, and hopeful as they are now. Being able to bring these is enough to prove that the other party is a qualified leader, and they, as subordinates, should naturally offer their loyalty.
Sen Yu did not mention Teng Ye's mission, because that was not what they needed to know, but instead talked about perfecting the map and the issue of the lord going up the mountain tomorrow.
"Teng Ci, you take your men up the mountain tonight and eliminate all hidden dangers in advance. Make sure the master's safety on the mountain." Sen Yu began to assign tasks.
"Hey!" As the only fighting force that the Forest Ninja could bring out, Tengci had no arrogance or complacency. He looked determined and accepted the task which was not dangerous but could not afford any mistakes.
"Tenggen, follow me up the mountain tomorrow and bring secret snake medicine and wound medicine to ensure that the lord can get treatment as soon as possible after being injured." Although the possibility is very small, Sen Yu did not dare to be careless, so he said to Tenggen, who has the best medical skills and the oldest qualifications.
"I will make preparations when I get back." Tenggen coughed lightly and answered seriously.
"Okay, next is the reward that the master will give to Mori No Ninja." Sen Yu knew that oppression alone would not work, so after giving the task, she decisively asked someone to bring the master's reward. In fact, she was also very curious.
Two heavy boxes were placed in the middle of the main room and were opened by Mori Yu himself.
"This is a ninja sword!" Fujishi, who is always calm, couldn't help but speak.
The ninja sword is a special sword for ninjas. It is shorter than the katana, usually about two feet long. The blade is straight, the handle is wrapped with a rope, and the scabbard is hollow. It has a variety of uses and is not just for combat.
For example, the ninja sword can be leaned against the wall to gain leverage, allowing the ninja to easily climb over the wall, and then use the rope on the handle to pull the sword up. The hollow scabbard can be used to hide lime, and can also be used as a breathing tube after diving underwater.
As for fighting, it mainly relies on sneak attacks, so there is no need to be convenient for slashing, but it is more convenient to stab.
Mori Yu picked up a ninja sword and pulled it out. The matte blade made her sigh at the owner's attentiveness. This was much better than applying ink.
After careful observation, it was discovered that it was thicker than traditional ninja swords. A light tap revealed that it was not made of inferior metal, but rather appeared to be very sturdy. In particular, there was a full half-inch of blank space under the blade, which made the entire blade stronger. In addition to being used for blocking, it could even be inserted into the city wall as a foothold when necessary.
"Even if the samurai chopped with all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to cut this ninja sword in half." Everyone took one and looked at it carefully. They all praised the quality of the ninja swords, especially the rattan thorns, which received the highest rating.
Although he was good at assassination, he had been discovered before and had fought with samurai many times. It was definitely not a good experience, and Teng Ci knew this deeply.
Ninjas who take the light route are not good at head-on combat due to their training and physical fitness, so once their whereabouts are exposed they must escape as quickly as possible, otherwise if they are unlucky enough to be blocked by samurai, the only difference is that they will be chopped into pieces.
With this ninja sword, even if you are defeated, you will have a better chance of escape.
In addition to the ninja swords, the box also contained boxes of shurikens, kunai, senbon, triangular nails, steel wire and other traditional ninja weapons, which made the forest ninjas from top to bottom grateful for the gift from their master.
