In the mountains and forests opposite, the Imagawa family ambushed more than 3,000 people, and Ikkyu was also there watching the show, waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Saito family and the Saito family.

'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. So, what's behind the oriole?'

Chapter 43: Become My Exclusive Ninja

Qingmiya Maya stood on a big tree, looking into the distance, while occasionally stealing glances at the white curtain in the distance.

The current situation is very clear. The Saito family is in internal turmoil, and the Ashikaga family wants to reap the benefits. I wonder what he is thinking?

"If we sit here and watch Saito Dosan perish, the events of the Shotokuji Alliance will not be triggered."

"If Saito Yoshitatsu is eliminated, or even if Mino is directly taken over, historical events such as Saito Yoshitatsu's death from illness, Saito Tatsuoki's succession to the throne, and Takenaka Shigeharu's 17-man conquest of the castle will also disappear."

"But the problem is, such opportunities are indeed very rare."

"If we miss this opportunity, we might have to wait a long time before we can take Mino next time."

"Alas... in the final analysis, it was because of the butterfly effect that Saito Yoshitatsu rebelled prematurely."

On the other side, Bai Lan was also chattering in Bai Mu's ear, calculating the gains and losses of various routes.

Every historical event is an achievement.

However, some historical events conflict with each other, and it is basically impossible to completely replicate history.

Therefore, there must be trade-offs.

"However, Akai Shuichi and Matsuda Jinpei have already completed one achievement each, and you've also completed two, so you're almost making back your money."

Hearing this, Bai Mu smiled and asked:

"Fifty-six, what do you think?"

"Well...if nothing unexpected happens, Ikkyu should make his move right when the outcome is about to be decided. If we make our move after that, we won't lose anyway."

"That's right, exactly..."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp blade suddenly came from behind him and hit Bai Mu on the back of his neck with a crisp sound.

"Huh...? It actually has no effect! How strange."

Accompanied by a female voice, a beautiful blue-haired girl appeared beside the white curtain.

"Sonna—shining—appears! Nin, nin, nin!"

"You are the foreigner from the Oda clan, right? I heard that you are invulnerable and unbeatable. I wonder if poison will be effective?"

"Lord Baimu, be careful!" Yamamoto Isoroku quickly drew his bow and arrow.

"So it's the bell girl..."

Thinking of the game plot in his memory, Bai Mu's face unconsciously showed a bit of nostalgia.

"Huh...? We've never met before, right? Why do you look like you've met someone after a long time?" Lingnu was full of curiosity.

“Actually, I’m from the future.”

"Ah...!? Really? After Japan became two, even people from the future appeared! However, Suzu-chan is just a lowly kunoichi. Even in the future, her name shouldn't be known to many people."

"Did Inukai send you to kill me? I never thought my reputation would spread to Iga so quickly."

"That's right. Lord Inukai said that the foreigners from the Oda clan appeared at the same time as the world changed. Perhaps he was responsible for the splitting of Japan into two. So, he sent me to assassinate you."

"Inukai has quite the imagination. Really, Iga must be in a state of panic as well. They haven't even finished their own affairs, yet they're already so eager to stir up trouble."

As luck would have it, he happened to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

"That's what Suzu-chan thought, too. But Lord Inukai insisted that foreigners were problematic, so I can't do anything about it. Now that you've captured me, what are you going to do with me?"

"Want to be my personal ninja?"

"Eh...? I came here to kill you, didn't I? If you didn't have invulnerability, you would have been killed by my assassination just now."

"Hahaha...it's not important."

Seeing the smile on Bai Mu's face, Ling Nu also laughed:

"What a weirdo. Humph... Well, I don't care what happens next. Bye..."

After she finished speaking, Ling Nu disappeared silently from everyone's sight.

But Bai Mu knew very well that she had agreed to be his exclusive ninja and was hiding nearby.

Perhaps, she was just curious, or perhaps she was pretending to surrender, but actually looking for an opportunity to assassinate again.

However, none of this matters.

As the most outstanding female ninja in Japan, she has outstanding abilities and can be of great help in all aspects.

Seeing this, Yamamoto Isoroku couldn't help but say:

"Master Shiromu, is this really okay? She should be a kunoichi specially trained by Iga. If necessary, she will poison herself and then use her body to assassinate others."

"Alas... what a cruel system. Once we take down the Hara clan, we'll declare war on Iga. Once we control Iga, we'll announce the abolition of the kunoichi system.

This cruel practice must be banned in my country."

"That's not what I meant..."

Yamamoto Isoroku was silent for a moment and did not continue to persuade.

……

In a small town on the Nagara River, Saito Dosan was commanding his troops to resist the rebels.

At this moment, he was really overwhelmed.

Unexpectedly, when he led his army to attack Mino, another city controlled by the Ashikaga family, Yoshitatsu would suddenly betray him, and the Mino clans also rushed to join him.

Caught off guard, Inabayama Castle was captured and they could only hide in this small town.

"Is this God's retribution to me? Because I usurped the Toki family's Mino, and in my old age, I am being punished like this?"

"There's not much food stored here, the arrows have been used up, and the houses in the city have been mostly demolished."

"If this continues, I will definitely lose."

Seeing Saito Dosan's troubled face, Akechi Mitsuhide took the initiative to step forward and kneeled down to plead:

"My lord, please allow me to lead my troops to break out and head to Owari to seek assistance from the Oda clan."

"No, I have no friendship with the Oda family. Besides, given the Oda family's current situation, it would be difficult for them to send reinforcements."

Saito Dosan shook his head slightly, sighed secretly, and then said:

"Now that things have come to this, I can only accept my fate. Perhaps this is God's will."

"Next, I will lead my army to attack and attract Yilong's attention. You can take the opportunity to escape."

"No, my lord, I will follow you until death." Although he was a little scared, Akechi Mitsuhide was not afraid of death.

Rather, if he abandoned his lord and fled alone, he would lose the last bit of dignity he had as a samurai.

"If that's the case, you and I will be companions on the road to the underworld."

"Yes! Lord."

After making preparations, Saito Dosan gave a speech in the city, reviewing his past in an impassioned manner.

"...Thank you all so much for your companionship over the years. Now that things have come to this, there's no need for you to sit around and wait for death with an old man like me."

"All of you should surrender to Yilong. I am enough for those who go to hell."

The next moment, countless shouts were heard in the city:

"Live and die together! Live and die together!!"

Seeing this, Saito Dosan smiled and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, I will walk with you on the road to the underworld."

After saying this, Saito Dosan ordered his subordinates to open the city gates and led hundreds of his loyal subordinates to launch a desperate charge against the rebels.

The next moment, a horn sounded behind Saito Yoshitatsu's army.

The 3,000-strong Ashikaga army, led by Ashikaga general Nitta Yoshisada, launched a strong attack on Yoshitatsu's army from behind.

Under attack from both sides, the Yilong army soon fell into chaos.

"Damn it! I knew there was a third party involved. Yoshitatsu's sudden betrayal must have been the work of the Ashikaga family, right? As expected of Master Ikkyu, who came from another world, he's truly formidable."

Although he was filled with anger, as things had come to this point, Saito Dosan could only swallow his loss and head straight for Saito Yoshitatsu with the Ashikaga army, one in front and one behind.

At the same time, Bai Mu handed the troops over to Yamamoto Isoroku for command and rushed towards the opposite forest as quickly as possible.

According to Bai Lan, Ikkyu did not follow the Ashikaga army into battle and was still resting in the forest.

As the only think tank of the Ashikaga family, Ikkyu is undoubtedly the top priority for the Ashikaga family.

If Ikkyu could be captured, the Ashikaga family would be vulnerable.

Chapter 44: Oda Nobunaga is the truly wise man

Inside the forest, Ikkyu was sitting on a tree branch, leisurely eating snacks.

At the same time, he carefully observed the three-way melee going on in the distance.

Although the Yilong Army was large in number, most of them were vulnerable peasant soldiers who had no experience in dealing with surprise attacks. They were caught off guard and were quickly beaten and scattered.

Saito Yoshitatsu, who is on the front line, gambles his last capital and fights for his life with Saito Dosan's remaining troops.

At this moment, the elite troops of Mino Kingdom in the other world are being consumed in the conflict between the two sides.

After finishing the snacks, Ikkyu picked up the sunny doll and started making a monster phone call.

"Mother, please rest assured, this time we will win easily again."

"What...? An enemy?"

Turning around, I saw a silver light rushing towards me.

It rushed forward recklessly, completely ignoring the obstacles of branches and thorns, and rushed forward with an unmatched momentum.

Ikkyu's heart was pounding, and he quickly put the sunny doll to his ear:

"Eh...? That's the new ruler of the Oda family, a foreigner who appeared almost simultaneously with the world's changes?"

"? Mother asked me to surrender? No problem."

When Baimu came in front of him, Ikkyu decisively said:

"I surrender!"

"So happy?"

"Mother said I'm absolutely no match for you. Rather than dying at the hands of foreigners, it would be wise to follow them and see what the future holds."

Bai Mu was speechless. Was the sunny doll in his hand a call from a monster, or was he just talking to himself?

However, this person does bear some resemblance to the little monk Ikkiu in "The Clever Ikki".

I can only say, isn’t it worthy of being a derivative character based on Ikkiu?

"So, can you make the Ashikaga army surrender?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a military advisor responsible for making plans, and I don't have that much prestige. The generals of the Ashikaga family who led the troops this time are loyal to Master Chaoshen."

"Is that so? I wasn't counting on you. Now, let's watch our performance."

"Wait and see."

Ikkiu smiled, put the sunny doll to his ear again, and whispered:

"Mother, I have joined the Oda family as you requested..."

After returning to the main camp, Shiramaki immediately reorganized his troops. When the battle was difficult to determine, he blew the horn and launched a fierce attack on the rear of the Ashikaga army.

Although he couldn't buy a good horse and could only ride a short-legged horse that specialized in endurance, but with half a set of vest, it was enough to crush the unarmored peasant soldiers.

The two rookies were pecking at each other and chaos broke out in an instant.

Upon discovering that the Imagawa general was easily killed and the peasant soldiers behind him had completely fled, Saito Yoshitatsu immediately shouted "Keep calm" and at the same time kept giving orders to the supervisory team to kill people to establish their authority.

But no matter how much he roared, it was useless. He could only watch the distance between him and the figure quickly shorten.
