Chapter 51 Itachi Kama Brothers
"I wonder what other compensation you need besides money?" The gold and silver can be brought back to the modern era, and it is best not to give money if possible, so Yan Xu wanted to exchange something, just like an unscrupulous boss giving goods to employees in lieu of salary.

"If you have the best silk and fragrant oil, they can replace part of the payment." The first person to speak was Tsuchigumo. Judging from his voice, he was not very old, but what he wanted was a little strange.

However, Yan Xu guessed something as soon as he heard it. After all, he had read countless novels in his previous life and had seen all kinds of abilities. Therefore, he took out some fishing lines and fish hooks, as well as two bottles of sesame oil in hanging bottles.

"This is a fishing line and a fish hook, maybe you can use it." Yan Xu pointed to the things in front of him and let the earth spider take a look.

The earth spider had never seen such transparent silk thread and fine fish hooks with barbs. It couldn't take its eyes off them. After checking them, it was shocked by the transparency and toughness of the silk thread and the sharpness of the fish hook.

Just as Yan Xu expected, the core of Tsuchigumo's ninjutsu is silk thread, and the fishing line is undoubtedly better than the silk thread he woven with special techniques, and is comparable to the spider silk thread made by secret techniques.

As for the fragrant oil in the crystal glass bottle, it was also very precious to Tsuchigumo, so he took one respectfully. From then on, an employment contract was reached between the two parties, and it was not even impossible for him to become the exclusive ninja of the Moroboshi family.

"What do you need?" Yan Xu was a little curious about the leech's needs, because the leech looked like it had no desires or requests.

"Food that replenishes blood and beautiful clothes." The leech spoke directly.

"Okay." Yan Xu nodded and asked someone to bring donkey-hide gelatin, brown sugar, red dates, and silk.

"If your performance satisfies me, you can become the exclusive ninja of the Moroboshi family, and these things can be provided for a long time." Yan Xu didn't believe in the employment relationship very much. After all, they were temporary workers, and those who knew would understand. Therefore, he offered a little bit of temptation to make them work harder and more attentively, so that they could be converted to regular employees in the future, he said.

"I would like to serve you."

Sure enough, after Yan Xu showed some of his skills, neither of them refused, and at the same time they changed their minds about doing odd jobs at the beginning.

Fishing lines and fish hooks were considered rare treasures in ancient times, but the sesame oil, brown sugar, donkey-hide gelatin and other commodities that Yan Xu casually took out are ubiquitous in modern times, but even the famous people would not eat them nowadays.

These are all manifestations of strength. The two ninjas no longer dared to underestimate their employer who lived in this simple house.

Besides, no one likes to live a life of homelessness. Compared to taking chances in finding a job, a stable job with good pay is undoubtedly more attractive. So in order to show their own value, the two ninjas immediately threw themselves into the work.

It is not known whether the Fukushima family has noticed something or just can't wait any longer. According to the information brought by Mori Shinobu, the Fukushima family prepared their troops, with Fukushima Masaki leading 500 soldiers and another retainer leading 1,000 soldiers to stay at the border between the Shimazu family and the Sagara family, forcing the two families not to act rashly. As for other deployments, they could not be found out in a short time.

There were five hundred people, of which only thirty were warriors, and none of them had extraordinary powers like swordsmen. This made Yan Xu breathe a sigh of relief and he began to respond.

The time before a war is the busiest for ninjas. Ninjas from the Fukushima family flock in like moths to a flame, but unfortunately the territory was already prepared.

There were foot soldiers and ronin elite soldiers patrolling on the road. At this time, in their eyes, there was no such thing as civilians. Anyone who dared to approach was an enemy, so any disguise of the ninja was useless.

As for whether there would be accidental killings, they didn't care, and Yan Xu certainly didn't care either. This was Japan, and it was good enough that he didn't engage in massacres. Even if it was transmitted back to the world of his previous life, he would probably be scolded by netizens for wasting an opportunity. If it were them, how would they kill so many people?

In fact, killing is not that simple. It is a violation of one's bottom line. If there is no firm belief in one's heart to support it, problems will only happen sooner or later. Yan Xu is relying on the fact that he can't see and still be tough. He has no idea how he will perform when he really goes to the battlefield.

The situation was becoming increasingly urgent. After discovering that the road was blocked, the Fukushima family's ninjas prepared to take a detour.

Unfortunately, the Forest Ninjas are not vegetarians. Their fighting ability is not good, but they are familiar with the forest, especially the traps set in complex environments, which ordinary ninjas cannot see at all. The supplies provided by Yan Xu make them even more powerful, not to mention that now there are two masters joining them to help find loopholes and fill in the gaps. Therefore, the bodies of foreign ninjas can be found in the traps every day.

At this moment, in a forest far away from the road, a spider was leaning against a tree with its eyes closed, resting until its fingers wrapped in spider silk moved slightly, then it opened its eyes.

Relax your fingers and feel the slight vibrations brought by the silk. When the vibrations stop, the earth spider will put away its things and walk in a certain direction.

The Itachi brothers stood back to back with sickles in their hands, alert. There were more than a dozen kunai and countless Senbon swords scattered at their feet. However, there is always a loophole, not to mention them. Itachi's thigh was pierced by a kunai and a Senbon sword was stuck in his waist. Although he had not completely lost his fighting ability, most of it was gone.

Kane was even worse off, with five Senbon swords stabbing his body. Although he avoided vital parts, his calf was nearly cut off by the transparent thread when he dodged. Now the blood had seeped under his feet, and he could hardly stand.

Just then, Tsuchigumo came slowly over, making the Itachi and Kama brothers even more nervous.

"It turns out to be brother Itachi and Kama. No wonder they didn't die in my trap immediately." As soon as Tsuchigumo opened his mouth, another trap was triggered. Several crossbow arrows were shot out from under the fallen leaves, but Itachi, who was prepared, turned his sickle and shot them down. However, this also affected his injuries, and his brother, who had lost most of his resistance, would become his new weakness.

"We surrender!" Itachi admitted defeat decisively. They had only accepted the mission from the Fukushima family and were not the exclusive ninja of the Fukushima family. Therefore, when things were hopeless, they decisively chose to withdraw.

Although you won't get any money and your reputation will be damaged, it's better than dying here.

After assessing the brothers' injuries and determining that they would not be able to recover their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, Tsuchigumo nodded and said.

"If you are interested, you can come to the Moroboshi family after the war. I believe you will not be disappointed." Tsuchigumo said lightly.

The Itachi and Kama brothers nodded to express their gratitude to Tsuchigumo, then left here cautiously, deciding not to interfere in this matter anymore.

This is the tacit understanding between ninjas. They will not easily decide life and death unless it is necessary. However, the loser will not only be kept away from, but will also owe a favor, which must be repaid.

After the Itachi and Kama brothers left, Tsuchigumo began to clean up the battlefield, mainly the hidden weapons.

These were sent by the Forest Ninjas, and each one was a fine piece. Even he couldn't bear to throw them away casually. At the same time, he felt a little regretful that he should have asked the Itachi and Kama brothers to take out the hidden weapons on their bodies before leaving.
