Chapter 175 The Past of Fukurokuju and Raizo
As the first rays of sunlight fell, two figures appeared at the end of the block.
"This is it."
Bazel looked at the old and simple courtyard in front of him.
A few broken pieces of wood formed a fence to keep out the crowd. There were no chickens, ducks, or vegetables in the yard, only a pile of firewood.
"The acting general's personal ninja lives in such a dilapidated place?"
"All my money has been used to treat my younger sister's illness."
As soon as Fu Lu Shou stepped out of the courtyard, he knelt down and slammed his forehead against the ground.
"Please, save Fumi!"
But one boot had already extended out, blocking his forehead.
"I don't really like the way you people in Wano Country kneel and kowtow all the time."
"Take me to see your sister."
"Although I am not a doctor and cannot cure her, I can prevent her condition from deteriorating further."
"Yes, sir, please come in."
"Babel, wait for me in the yard."
Upon entering the inner room, the girl, who was not yet asleep, was about to get up again when she saw a stranger enter.
This time, the Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity stars did not stand in their way.
"Just lie down, your body is already like a candle flickering in the wind."
Looking at the skinny girl, a red light flashed in Bazel's eyes.
He didn't remember much about the native people of Wano Country, but he did remember that before he traveled through time, Fukumi was the source of the feud between Raizo and Fukurokuju.
In his youth, Raizo was a genius ninja with exceptional physical abilities among the Oniwabanshu. During a mission, he unexpectedly saved Fukurokuju's sister.
A young girl's feelings are like poetry, and Fukumi naturally fell in love with Raizo because of the "hero saving the beauty" incident.
But Raizo was too young at that time, and a very innocent and straightforward straight man.
Just as the girl was about to offer a kiss, he pushed Fumi away because he was too shy.
Unexpectedly, because of his strong physique, coupled with Fu Mei's delicate and frail constitution, he was able to achieve his goal.
This push caused Fumei considerable injury.
Because he had injured Fukumi, Raizo felt ashamed to face her again, so he fled the Oniwabanshu and became a bandit in the Udon Forest.
He later joined Kozuki Oden's forces and became a retainer.
However, Fukumi died in a hospital bed due to her inner turmoil, constantly murmuring Raizo's name before her death.
Fukurokuju mistakenly believed that his sister had hated Raizo until the day she died, so he vowed never to forgive her.
The ears and skull grew longer and longer because of the increasing anger.
Bazel took out a pure gold ring that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.
"Fu Lu Shou, you probably haven't heard of such a treasure as Chun, have you?"
Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity shook their heads in denial.
"Everything I'm about to tell you must be kept secret. If this gets out to outsiders..."
"Within three months, Wano Country will be completely razed to the ground, leaving no one alive."
Bazel picked up the ring and asked Fu Lu Shou for a thin cord.
String them together and wear them around Fumei's neck.
"This thing can't cure your sister Fumi, but it can lock her condition in place until the day she wears the pure gold ring."
"In other words, unless someone kills her or a disaster strikes from the sky, she will not die no matter what."
Fu Lu Shou were stunned.
Does mere gold have such magical properties?
"I know you don't believe me, but I have no reason to come to your house so late to lie to you."
"No, sir, it is my knowledge and experience that is lacking."
"Next comes the medicine."
Bazel sat on the edge of the bed and shook the girl awake.
Fu Lu Shou, who witnessed this scene, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
"Huh?" Fu Mei also looked bewildered.
"Sister Fumei, you have someone you like, right?"
Fumei blinked without saying anything, but the blush on the girl's face said it all.
Fu Lu Shou froze, then swallowed hard.
"Sister, little sister, the person you like isn't Raizo, one of Lord Oden's retainers, is he?!"
"I heard you muttering his name while you were unconscious—"
Upon seeing his younger sister lift the blanket to cover her head, Fu Lu Shou froze instantly.
"Raizo, you bastard! It's one thing to defect from the Oniwabanshu, but you even dared to seduce my sister—"
"I...I—"
"Don't speak too soon, you might become Raizo's brother-in-law, Fukurokuju."
Bazel stood up and made way for him, a playful smile on his face.
"Doctors can cure physical ailments, but only a sage can cure inner ailments."
"Only when the mind is at peace can the body recover better."
Upon hearing that his sister could be saved, Fu Lu Shou immediately began to pray.
"Sir, please save my sister!"
"We, the Oniwabanshu, cannot find Raizo's hiding place, and even if we happen to find it, we cannot keep up with his speed."
Bazel stood by the window, gazing at the rising sun on the horizon.
"I can get all the beasts to help you find Raizo, but what reward can you give me, Fukuro and Shou?"
Fukurokuju dared not look at the gaze his younger sister was secretly giving him from behind. He gritted his teeth, knelt down beside Bazel, and presented the waist badge representing his position as captain of the Oniwabanshu with both hands.
"From today onwards, the Oniwabanshu will become General Amaterasu's private army!"
"We ninjas will infiltrate Orochi's inner circle and secretly cooperate with the true shogun!"
Bazel took the waist token, played with it for a while, and then threw it back.
"Remember your words, Fukurokuju. The Oniwabanshu only have two tasks ahead."
"Collecting evidence of charcoal snakes wasting national funds on pleasure."
"Second, have the Oniwabanshu ninjas secretly spread the history of the Tenzuki family in Wano Country. If they don't know it, they should make it up themselves."
"Let everyone remember the existence of the Amezuki clan. The sun of Wano Country is about to rise, and I hope that when that day comes..."
"The Wano Country region will be able to rediscover the Amezuki clan."
"yes!"
The figures of Fu, Lu, and Shou extend their hands forward and place them together, with their foreheads resting on their palms.
"I will certainly complete the mission; please release me!"
Bazel ignored the kneeling Fukurokuju and took out a Den Den Mushi.
Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~
Kacha-
"It's me, Loki. Is Shi asleep?"
"Big brother? Not yet. We got harassed by a bunch of bandits when we passed through Oden Castle. Those bastards kneel down and kowtow the moment they see us, it's so annoying!"
The Den Den Mushi raised its tentacles and frantically rubbed its face.
"They don't fight back when hit, they don't talk back when insulted, and they kneel down and beg us to lead them to great things!"
"Damn it, how am I supposed to know what big thing I'm going to do?!"
"It's rare to see Loki so frustrated, hahaha~~"
After the joke, Toki finally took the Den Den Mushi.
"Bazaar, what's wrong?"
"While you're in Kuri, keep an eye out for a ninja named Raizo. If he's not in Oden Castle, he should be in Hakumai. I'll also ask him to keep an eye out for Jin."
"There are very few ninjas in Wano Country, and only a handful are outside."
"If you encounter a big-faced ninja, tell him that Fukumi is about to die and ask him to come to the Flower Capital to see Fukumi one last time."
"I understand. Is there anything else?"
After a moment's thought, Bazel decided to give Amezuki some mental preparation first.
"I went to see the acting shogun of Wano Country, and soon after, Kozuki Oden, the former daimyo of Kuri, was stripped of his daimyo title for defecting from Wano Country."
"You will also become the new ruler as an ancient nobleman."
"If necessary, you can temporarily take in Ashura Tong and his gang of thieves; you can then announce it to the outside world."
"I will have Fukurokuju and the Imperial Guards cooperate with you to secretly set up a plan in Kuri."
"They will spread the history of the Tianyue clan so that the common people will have a better impression of you."
"Dongli, Brogy."
The voices of the two giants came from the Den Den Mushi.
"The people of Wano Country are ignorant and stubborn."
"If it's just the identity of an ancient nobleman, it probably won't be enough to convince everyone."
"If necessary, we can create a second identity for Toki as a shrine maiden; the Oniwabanshu ninjas will spread the word in secret."
The returning Heavenly Moon Priestess will terrify the great demon and bring new life and hope to Kuri.
"And you are the so-called great monsters. Remember to cooperate with Ah Shi in a play."
"Wait a minute, bro! Why do Dorry and Brogy have scenes, but what about me? Where's your dear little brother?!"
Loki—
Bazel rubbed his temples.
The scene where Amatsuki Toki subdues a great demon while posing as a priestess was originally a backup plan by Bazel to prevent the common people of Kuri from worshipping Kozuki Oden too much.
Only by using legendary means can the stubborn impression created by the Kozuki family over eight hundred years be broken.
"Why don't you just become Ashi's shikigami? You can use lightning too, but don't go too far—"
"Wow!! That's great! I'll call myself Thunder Maru then!"
The Den Den Mushi hung up instantly, and Bazel's lips twitched.
He always felt that with Loki's current youthful spirit, he would definitely come up with some unimaginable tricks.
"Fukurokuju, you will personally handle the matter in Kuri. As for Kurozumi Orochi, just find any excuse to deal with him."
"That idiot's brain is full of human excrement."
"I will stay and help take care of your sister Fumei. Remember, the matter of Jiuli cannot be delayed. We must complete the dissemination of Tianyue's history in the shortest possible time."
"yes!"
After taking one last look at his younger sister, Fu Lu Shou did not hesitate for a moment before walking out the door and leaping several times towards Jiu Li.
"These past few years have come to an end; the dawn of Wano Country—"
"It's coming soon."
