Chapter 36 This Is My Kingdom

The magnificent and vast daimyo's mansion was like the magnificent buildings of ancient China that Ryosuke had seen in his previous life.

This architectural style is different from the low-rise bungalows commonly seen in the ninja world, and it is even taller and more magnificent than the Hokage office building in Konoha Village.

Following Naganodaira's lead, Ryosuke and his companions entered the tall building.

The entire daimyo's mansion looked very solemn, and all the servants moved quietly, fearing that they would make too much noise and disturb the daimyo and a group of nobles who worked here.

Under the respectful greetings of many retainers and servants, Ryosuke and his companions walked up the stairs to the tall building.

Noticing the gazes of the three people, Nagano Taira who was leading the way stopped, turned around and asked with a chuckle: "Three ninjas, which one is stronger, this daimyo's mansion or Konoha's Hokage Building?"

Somewhat surprised by his words, Ryosuke glanced at him casually, "The daimyo's mansion is of course magnificent and magnificent."

"Compared to this, our Konoha's Hokage Building is like a thatched hut, unsightly."

"Thank you, thank you."

Nagano Taira nodded with satisfaction, but tried to pretend to be very humble.

Unfortunately, this gesture with completely inadequate facial expression management was full of mistakes in Ryosuke's eyes.

"You are too modest, Mr. Nagano." He continued with a smile, "After all, we ninjas live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife and defending the country. We don't have time to do these leisurely and elegant fine work."

"Besides, we are all rough people and can't appreciate it."

"How could you..."

Nagano Taira nodded happily and was about to continue to be modest.

But his mind turned and he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Ryosuke's words.

Looking at his half-smile, these words sounded a little... harsh to his ears.

"The life of the daimyo is really luxurious."

Seeing that Naganohira stopped talking, Ryosuke continued to speak, casually turning his eyes to the lamps hanging on the nearby walls and ceilings, "Beautiful women and delicious food, bright lights all over the building."

"On this way, there are countless cooks and servants. I don't know if the daily expenses of this daimyo's mansion can be compared with the monthly expenses of my Hyuga clan."

"Ahem... the daimyo is usually very simple. Today, it is mainly to welcome the arrival of the three adults."

Naganohira coughed dryly, and after explaining, he did not dare to speak again.

"Three ninja adults, please wait here for a while, I will go and invite the adults to come."

Leading Ryosuke and others to one of the luxuriously and elegantly decorated rooms, Naganohira explained and hurriedly left the room, fearing that Ryosuke would say something harsh again.

"This daimyo... really knows how to enjoy himself."

After Naganohira left, Souji, who had been silent since entering the daimyo's mansion, spoke softly, but soon covered his mouth again.

Because the entire Daimyo Mansion was very quiet, even the sound changed in this environment, appearing very ethereal and loud.

"Ningshen Incense has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. It requires a variety of precious medicinal materials that are priceless to be refined."

Sniffing the fragrance in the air, Xingcai explained to Ryosuke: "I just noticed along the way, and almost every room has the smell of burning incense."

"I estimate that the incense consumption of this Daimyo Mansion in one day is enough for the expenses of our entire Hyuga clan for one day."

Ryosuke chuckled and said nothing.

No matter how extravagant it is, it can't bring any waves to his heart.

After he succeeded in his career in his previous life, he also enjoyed it.

But compared to practice and self-improvement, what is all this? It's just some self-consolation for ordinary people.

Oh... maybe there are still some things here that can make Ryosuke feel a little bit of waves.

Coming to the window, he opened the window casually.

The whistling wind sounded, and a slight chill came towards him.

But what stirred up Ryosuke's heart was not the cool wind, but everything in front of him.

Most of the buildings in the Ninja World are bungalows, and there are only a few high-rise buildings like the Daimyo Mansion.

This also makes the Daimyo Mansion stand out among the many bungalows in the Land of Fire, and it is extremely eye-catching.

On the other hand, in this case where there is no shelter to block the view, standing on the Daimyo Castle, you can see all the territories in all directions.

Especially Ryosuke has white eyes, and his vision is far superior to that of ordinary people, so this sense of looking down on the world is even more obvious.

The smile on his face slowly converged and turned into calmness.

The people coming and going on the street, the shouting and greetings of the vendors, the carriage drivers driving the carriages, the wheels sliding on the road, making clanging sounds, all these things were seen by Ryosuke.

Although, his perception range is not so wide, he can't hear those sounds.

But when he saw the scene, his mind automatically recalled what he saw, heard, felt, and felt when he entered the city just now.

This feeling was very familiar, as if he had returned to the past, to that day...

"The three of the Hyuga family, I've been waiting for a long time."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded from the door.

Retracting his downward gaze, Ryosuke looked back.

In front of Naganohira, a sturdy, tall and burly man nodded to them kindly, and his main gaze was of course on Ryosuke.

"Are you the new head of the Hyuga branch of this generation, Hyuga Neji? Welcome to your arrival."

He asked in a very gentle tone.

But in the gentleness, Ryosuke heard a hint of arrogance.

Compared with the same attitude, this daimyo naturally put himself in a higher position, after all, the status is different.

"Sorry, Tokugawa Daimyo, I am Hyuga Ryosuke of the Hyuga clan, not Hyuga Neji." Ryosuke chuckled and took a few steps forward to come in front of him.

"Royal clan?"

The originally gentle Tokugawa Daimyo looked a little surprised.

In previous years, people from the Hyuga branch came to him to discuss some business matters.

But I didn't expect that this year, it was someone from the main family...

Tokugawa Daimyo hesitated, "Yes... Is there anything that needs to be changed in the agreement between the Hyuga clan and us?"

After knowing Ryosuke's identity, his tone changed.

If it was a member of the Hyuga clan, then the attitudes of both parties would be almost the same.

Although in a sense, he and the Hokage of Konoha are people of the same class, and even if the Hokage wants to change someone, he needs to report to him.

But in fact... his actual status as a daimyo is far inferior to that of the Hokage.

Even for big clans like Hyuga and Uchiha, it can only be said that he is barely comparable.

Military force is still the main theme of this world.

Although these people are proud of their talents and act very arrogant, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is only when ordinary people stick together, they can enjoy a happy life in peace.

If you really show your displeasure to these ninjas, it will be a very dangerous thing.
