10 Years of Celebration (1605) May 8th -

Genuine Honta was visiting Mt. Takano.

That was to ask the participants in the meeting, who were scheduled to meet there in confidence, to do something.

"Well, thank you"

Honta Genuine is a clear face as usual.

And when he smiled as usual and pressed so with an extremely calm voice, he quietly followed the scene.

And what was left in that room were five men.

They all looked at each other in unison with a bitter look on their faces.

In the meantime, one of them opened his mouth.

"Anyway, we have to work together to make everything easier."

That statement was made by referring to Oda Lao Dogsai and Oda Nobuka.

He became the younger brother of Nobunaga Oda, and while Nobunaga survived, he was the third most powerful man in the sequence among Ichimen Oda.

He was already an old man over sixty at this time, but, like his rounded face, he had a serene personality that did not like much of every dispute.

What Oda Lao Dog Sai and Oda Nobunaga have in common is "bravery".

For this reason, among the Oda family, he specializes in diplomacy and was treasured by Nobunaga and Hideyoshi Tai.

One middle-aged man spoke in a relaxed tone as he raised his corner of mouth in response to that purse statement.

"In peace... what will happen to its end... Osaka Castle and the Oda family... I think the only way to get there is to be Tokugawa."

A question that can be thrown at no one.

The names of the men who raised the question were Yurakusa Oda and Nagai Oda.

This man is also the brother of Nobunaga Oda and the brother of Old Dog Sai.

But Old Dog Sai and I are over ten years apart, and it should not be an exaggeration to say that he is still working, but it would be because of his somewhere agreeable character that he creates an atmosphere like an old man.

Yurakusai was a man who gave up and switched quickly anyway.

So at first glance it looks serene, and that's just giving up when my own prospects didn't work.

Such a common denominator between Yurakusai Oda and Nobunaga Oda is' ambition '.

And at this time he abandoned one ambition when he heard Hondo speak, so he leaked his words to inquire with no one in such a relaxed tone.

What is that ambition...

The Oda family's reign in heaven again and the takeover of Osaka Castle as its first step...

But if you abandon one ambition, another will soon float. That was the hallmark of a man named Yurakusai Oda.

What is that new ambition...

and it was then.

There was a young man who responded sharply to the words of the euphoria sai.

"Father!! It is not so easy to let Tokugawa take its own initiative!!

With pride of our Oda, it is time to help our cousin (cousin), the Temple, and move on with his legs so that the Oda family can reign under the heavens again!!

Yes, I turned my face red and my voice was louder than Oda's.

He is a child of Yurasai and is twenty-five years old.

The bloody character is well represented on its red face.

What Yoshihiro Oda and Nobunaga Oda have in common is "Passion".

He also, like his father Yurasai, dreamed of a world in which the Oda family would reign under heaven again, giving up badly the opposite of his father and passionately pursuing his ideals everywhere.

Well, there are still two other people here, but there's something I need to make clear here.

That means that both of these Oda Lao Dogsai and Oda Yurakusai are related to "uncles (uncles and uncles)" for Takashi, Hideyoshi Toyotomi's mother.

Since the death of Hideyoshi Tai and the victory of Jiayang Tokugawa in the Sekigahara match, Yodo, who was in Osaka Castle, was badly worried that Jiayang's next spearhead would head for Toyotomi and Osaka Castle.

But if I tried it on her, I wasn't afraid of the "extermination of the Toyotomi".

Above all, he felt the "misfortune of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" of his beloved Son.

So she made one decision to protect Hideyoshi.

It is "Hideyoshi Toyotomi's assistant by Ichimen Oda".

That meant entrusting Toyotomi's reign to Ichimen Oda, who had traveled through the warring world.

That's why she actively invited her uncles and cousins (cousins) to Osaka Castle.

And those who could be said to be their epitomes were the men gathered in this mountain of Takano.

However, some of the Oda Yimen crowds who were convened did not forget their pride as Oda families, and that was the parent and son of Oda Yurakusai and the trusted chief.

Old Inu-Sai, who had been told in advance about it, was going to hold a confidential meeting here in Takano Mountain to try and plan to move things forward in peace and quiet.

However, the purpose of the visit was precisely that of Honda Genuine, which led to the disintegration of everything.

I don't know why Genuine Honda knew about this meeting.

But now I didn't care about such a thing.

They have been forced to choose whether or not to respond to genuine and impatient demands.

What is that demand...

- If you enter Osaka Castle, please report the movements of the Toyotomi family. And not to be noticed, Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi directs you to take a little thank you to the general...

that.

And what are its terms...

- If anything happens, let the Oda family, as the national lord of some country, promise its territory and status…

Plus...

- On the contrary, if you defy... you don't have to say any more. As a blood relative of the late Lord Nobunaga Oda, don't be ashamed to interrupt...

It was.

This is "Let's promise to rehabilitate the Oda family if we cooperate with Tokugawa and fall into the Toyotomi family. But if we defy them, we will crush them relentlessly." It was something close to some kind of intimidation.

Now, to the words of the passionate commissioner, only a moderate old dog sai inquired in a relaxed tone.

"Then, without listening to Lord Hondo, it is good that Ichimen Oda stands on the arrow to protect Toyotomi...

Is this what you're going to say?

"Exactly! Cross with Tokugawa in dignity with the pride of Oda's Eternal Money Flag!!

There must be an Oda family heaven ahead!!

And, please, the chief is roughing his nose and holding his fist tight.

Seeing his son like that, Yurasai sighed.

"Ha... anyone can be a heavenly man if they can take the heavens away with the invisible things of pride, etc.

It would be best for everyone on this scene to receive knowledge in accordance with Lord Tokugawa... "

"But Father! Isn't that like a Tokugawa dog then!?

"Dogs are fine. But the fact that the dog bites the owner also means it stays."

"What does that mean? Yurakusai"

and when Old Dog Sai asked Yurakusai, he laughed niggardly.

"I'll give you no information.

But letting Toyotomi thank his subordinates is not that easy.

Against Tokugawa, just catch the value, and when you have enough value, then move Toyotomi.

In other words, in Osaka Castle, our Toyotomi moves Tokugawa as well. This is my new ambition. "

"Father!! You're going to use such a soothing hand to sell the festivities to Tokugawa!

"Please, chief, your Lord is young. Refrain."

"What to say! No matter how much father you are, you have to argue with the humiliating words, more than that is a servant samurai!!

And when the commissioning chief stuffed him into his father's euphoria, Old Dog Sai went in between and said with a troubled face.

"Stop! Let's hear Nobuo's opinion here for a moment!

One man who had been watching the scene in silence until now looked at such an old Dogsai gesture.

The man's name is Nobuo Oda.

As the second son of Nobunaga Oda, while Nobunaga was alive, he was in a position that could be described as the heavy town of the Oda family, second in sequence, after Nobunaga Odako's.

Furthermore, in the past, he has also had experience working with Tokugawa Jiayang to confront Toyotomi Hideyoshi head-on.

What does Nobuo Oda and Nobunaga Oda have in common...

"Oh... it's so annoying, the more you have to do"

It's... "lying".

Of course, Nobunaga only played it that way in order to alert his surroundings, but in Nobuo's case, it was just a "lie" to go on the ground.

"I'm sorry... what I asked the Lord was an error..."

And, as everyone on the spot was taken aback, Old Dog Sai bowed his head.

"You just have to understand. This Nobuo has a wide heart, so let's forgive him."

And so on, he said without a backdrop, grinning, that he didn't really know what it meant.

... and it was then...

"Haha!! Gentlemen!!

What a strange discussion they have!!

And there were those who laughed greatly.

"Hideyoshi... why are you laughing like that?

Old Dog Sai complained with the same troubled face.

The name of the person who laughed greatly was Hideyoshin Oda.

Hitting the grandson of Nobunaga Oda, he was once the authentic successor of the Oda family, known as the Three Mages.

At this time, age twenty-five, it is the same as the chief trustee.

And its extravagant life and its own but flashy feel of distribution had created a unique atmosphere that caught the eye of the beholder.

Since the time he was called the Three Mages, he has been raised politely and lovingly by Hideyoshi Tai as the son of the Oda family.

Ultimately, the official position was also entrusted to the Zheng 3rd place Chinese delivery speech, and the residence castle has also been so cherished by Hideyoshi Tai that his grandfather Nobunaga was once given Gifu Castle, where he uttered Tianxia Buwu.

Isn't that also because Hideyoshi felt something like the so-called heroic temperament he unleashes from an early age?

So much so that Hideyoshi had something in common with his grandfather Nobunaga.

In the Sekigahara match, because of his alliance with Ishida, the territory was confiscated and flushed to Takano Mountain, but he nevertheless turned forward without rotting, and he had acted with pride in being a one-way general, such as sending sentiments to each and every one of those who once lived and died on the battlefield.

Hideyoshin Oda and Nobunaga Oda have a lot in common, but in a nutshell, that would be a 'vessel'.

His words were exactly what made him feel it, depressing the hearts of everyone except one on the spot.

"My relatives, the Temple of Amen, and their son, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, these two are about to be put in distress right now!

Now the Oda family and the Toyotomi family are alike.

Then what good is it to help the Toyotomi family!

But let us not forget that the Tokugawa family and the Oda family have long been allies united by strong bonds that cut but never cut!

Therefore, even if we are hostile, if we speak of its goodness, you will surely understand!

As the three families of Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa join hands to create a new heaven, we will not move and who will make it!!

If you were frightened of the little things, you would be laughed at by your late grandfather from heaven!!

Now is the time to move!!

Come on! Why don't we go!!

Hideyoshi proclaimed with such a bright expression.

It is a strange thing because if you look at its face and hear its voice, you feel the exaltation that nature and impossibility are likely to make sense.

That was precisely Hideyoshin Oda's "vessel".

And as soon as I could react to that word, it was Ask Manager Oda.

He answered enthusiastically with 'Passion'.

"What Lord Hideyoshi has to say is best!!

I also want the three families of Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa to join hands and make a world of heaven!!

Seeing such a request, it seems that Oda Yurakusai also had something in mind.

He said with 'ambition'.

"Well... if that happens, Oda's share... hehe... I'm looking forward to it"

Oda Old Dog Sai gave a reassuring look that this occasion was going to fit.

He told with 'courage'.

"Now let's all go into Osaka Castle, and that's what we'll talk about to Starling.

We will then go to Fushimi and speak to Lord Jiayang next.

I hope it works. "

Where everyone was in agreement, when we stood up at the same time, we were ready to leave Mt. Takano.

And finally, Nobuo Oda...

"If you don't get caught up in this, I'll do anything."

And he smiled and said, "Lie down."

To how Nobuo looked, Yurakusai and others felt something intrinsically complicated: "How can this be different when" Uzuwa "and" Uzuna "only change one letter?"

Of course, he left that room, which was a distribution area for Hideyoshi, without saying anything like that.

Thus, Ichimen Oda took a step forward on his journey from Mount Takano to Osaka Castle with renewed determination.

The men, each with a rare hero somewhere in common with Nobunaga Oda, began to walk towards fulfilling their great ambitions, spearheading Hideyoshin Oda, the owner of the "vessel" closest to the hero among them.

Long rainy season is still a little further, but unfortunately the day seems empty.

Still, it was just about as good a light rain to cool the body lit by excitement, and the men just wore a cassette on their heads and went down the mountain early enough.

That was the time.

On the way down the mountain soon.

Is it a return from the trust bowl...

The line of monks climbed from the foothills, directly in front of the Hideyoshi.

It's not a very wide mountain path.

When Hideyoshi stopped his legs, he decided to lay down the road just a little bit and let the monks through the line first.

"Unfortunately, it's the weather, but you're going to be fine."

And, Old Dog Sai talks to Yurakusai with a grin on his mouth.

"Is it a bowl..."

Yurakusai also leaks to Old Dog Sai to tune in.

… and it was then.

What made Yurasai uncomfortable...

"Something... strange..."

Bowl...

If so, climbing the mountain from the bottom up should mean it's on the way home.

But if you're on your way home, it's impossible.

There's no application in anyone's bowl.

Shortly after thinking, Yurakusai shouted out loud.

"Hideyoshi!! Watch out!!

Hideyoshi, surprised by the voice, turned to Yurakusai, who was at the rearmost of the five.

At that time...

I wondered if the monk who was walking in the lead would have said hello, and fell to Hideyoshi.

Aardon...

"So, are you okay?

When Hideyoshi received the monk, he suddenly opened his eyes.

But...

Monks don't reply...

And...

"What...?

And when Hideyoshi turned to his belly...

My kimono was stained bright red...

With your own blood.

- Gohoo...

And when Hideyoshi spits a lot of blood out of his mouth, he kneels.

I'm stunned at how it looks together.

"Enemy!? Me!!"

When the commissioner, who screamed as if it were a thunderbolt, pulled out the knife, he slashed it inside the monk's line.

But as the monks scattered the spider child, they scattered into the mountains and vanished.

"Hideyoshi!! Hideyoshin!!"

And, Old Dogsai screams with Hideyoshi's shoulder in his desperate shape, but Hideyoshi's consciousness already seems hazy and out of focus in his eyes.

Such a man, when he grabs the sleeve of the old dog sai, leaves the blood out of his mouth intact and desperately tries to get the word out.

"Oh... Oda..."

"Don't push me! Stop talking!

You should be breathing constantly already and just breathing should be painful.

Still, Hideyoshin moved his mouth to tell him something desperately against Yurakusai and others who had gathered around him in tears.

"Oda... please... don't forget to be proud..."

I finished saying that, and Hideyoshi ran out.

His, only twenty-five years of life, too short, which was raw as the grandson of an overly great hero and continued to be flirted with by the times.

But in that life, he ran through to protect the pride of a hero without ever having to be pessimistic or resentful… it was such a life.

Tearful faces around Hideyoshin that have turned into unspeakable...

But who the hell is Hideyoshi...

Yurakusai Oda had already switched his mind to mourn the death of the young man in front of him, so much so.

Once Hideyoshin's grandfather, Nobunaga Oda, had oppressed the monks of Takano Mountain, and he was to be expelled from Takano Mountain, a distribution area.

Still, it's hard to imagine the monks harming him now.

If it was meant to be harmful, it would have struck on the day it was flushed.

Plus, that look too vibrant, which put Hideyoshin under one blow and then ran away to disappear.

It was so sophisticated in its movements to kill people that it obviously didn't seem like a monk.

Thinking about it, there's one tough answer…

Sneaking...

… and it was then…

A man in a deep cassette appeared before the face of Oda, who grieved.

The man said in a cold voice.

"So I told you... thank you..."

"Genuine Hondo..."

Yes... it was Hondo Genuine the person...

The chief begs to wipe his tears and stare at his purity.

But without worrying about his gaze or anything like that, purity told him in a pale tone.

"Dogs are like dogs, you just have to listen to your husband and keep waving your tail"

Leaving it at that, Purity turned his back.

"I will not tolerate any more blasphemy of Oda!!

And the chief asked put his hand on the knife and tried to slash it on its back.

"Stop!! Please long!!

And the drink of the old dog sai echoed, as well as the commissioning chief was held by a tremendous amount of strength.

"Gu! Ha ha!!

"Something to let go of. Please don't wake me up any more. It's a lot of trouble."

And it was Nobuo Oda who was suppressing the chief trustee with a missing voice somewhere between them.

By such horrible force that it was not surprising where such power would come from, the commissioning director was kept one step or two away from Hondo Genuine.

"Hehe, some of the Oda family seem to have a sage.

I'm relieved.

Because I didn't want to see anyone else's blood any more… "

And when he discarded it without looking back, purity slowly followed the scene.

At some point the grain of light rain that came out grew larger, and the rain that strikes seems to be washing Hideyoshi's remains.

In the meantime, Yurakusai snapped with a given up voice.

"The only way to get laid is to become Tokugawa's dog..."

A heavy silence flows through that word.

But...

One man began to move that foot forward as he left them standing up.

That, of course... Nobuo Oda.

"I'm fine, let's get this over with."

And he said in mild condition.

Towards his back like that, Old Dog Sai tried to squeeze out his voice and asked.

"What do you mean...?

Then Nobuo looked back and told him.

"You mean you can crush Toyotomi..."

It was an innocent smile on its face...
