First of all, I would like to point out that some texts are in the first person and some places are in the third person. Please read with this in mind
Hmm, I can't get my strength and power out of my mind. Will I be able to get an answer in the city I will go to? This is what really worries me.
But from what I heard before, almost every citizen there has a power or ability, so they won't find me a stranger there. At the same time, I think I won't be the center of attention.
'ahaha... I will learn this when I go'
time skip
ahhh I'm dying of tiredness, my legs... I came without any rest, I'm in pain.
I raised my head and looked at the name of the city
hatamoto dynasty!!!
wait...dynasty!!!
When was the last time this was a small city that was independent of anyone and was captured by the Hatamoto dynasty, the main power of the country.
I can understand their reason for taking over, after all, everyone living here was powerful and special. They just wanted to recruit the people here to their side.
İ wonder if the people living here objected to this or allowed it?
The samurai of the Hatamoto dynasty would never let me pass. They are loyal to their bosses, after all, they are samurai.
Then the only option left to me is to sneak in.
May luck be on my side.
There is no need for GOD.
hmmm did they see me? They were last talking to each other.
OH!
The moment kaage saw the guards turn their heads, he jumped directly into the forest next to him.
that only he can hear himself 'ohhh... I ripped it cheap .' he says.
silently 'where will there be no one now?'
Seriously, as soon as we enter the entrance, we are greeted by working samurai?
wait... if the place where they train is the entrance, there are only guards behind the dynasty, right?
Then it wouldn't be a problem if I accelerated a little, the sound of satin swords echoing everywhere. They can't hear my steps.
Kaage was thinking about these as he walked slowly and silently
While he was thinking about these
At that next, what was said in the main building of the Hatamoto Dynasty was as follows:
an old voice said, 'a house burned down in the middle of the forest, there were obviously people living in it.'
The voice of a middle-aged man said, 'We think so too. But there was a massacre in front of the house, what will we do about it?'
An even younger voice said, 'What human being would do such a thing... I can't forget what I saw. Dad, when we arrived, there was blood everywhere, but the person who did this thing was not around.'
The old voice asked, 'So who were the people living there?'
middle aged voice, 'the house of the samuru and kana...'
The old voice said, 'oh... it's a pity for them, the otter helped us a lot and of course he was a very strong person. His wife was also a brave woman. I hope they went to heaven.'
'well... if I'm not mistaken they had two children. One of them had blue eyes and looked more like her mother, the other one was a complete copy of the samuru, but her eyes looked like they were bloodthirsty. What happened to them?'
The middle-aged voice said, 'If I remember correctly, he was a slightly sensitive child with blue eyes. 'He probably died at home with his family. The red-eyed boy was healthier and stronger than his brother. He was probably doing something in the forest before the house burned down, so there is a possibility that he is alive.'
The old voice said, 'Maybe he saw the house burning and ran towards the house. and he smelled the burning of the house and the smell of burning flesh coming from the house.'
'Oh by the way, did you feel anything in Hayato? '
Hayato (young voice), 'what's it like?'
The old voice asked, 'Was there anything strange about the burnt wood?'
Hayato, 'hmm, ah, when you said it, it came to my mind, grandpa, yes, it was as if the wood was being burned not with fire, but with magic, or rather with mastery. Moreover, it seemed that they had done something to strengthen this skill, because there was some trace of the skill left outside the house.'
The old voice said, 'It's not a grandfather, it's a master, don't forget, be a little formal. Anyway, let's get back to our topic. According to what he said, there were a total of two people who burned this house. Unless it was someone blessed by God, why did they target the samuru's house?'
The middle-aged voice said, 'We don't know this, but sir, did those two people front of house commit the massacre ?'
old voice: 'no... they didn't do it.'
Hayato, 'then who did it?'
Middle-aged voice: 'Why do you think so, sir?'
The old voice said, 'Let me explain first, the people who burned the house probably burned the house and ran away. After they left, people gathered in front of the house.
As you may have noticed, there is now only one person left.'
The middle-aged voice said, 'Sir... the person you are talking about is the same age as the Hayato. 'Are you sure about this?'
The old voice said, 'Yes, that child definitely committed that great and bloody massacre.' It may seem impossible, but believe me, I know something. Believe me not as a master, but as a father and grandfather. That child is special or maybe cursed, I don't know exactly, but when you find him, don't try to kill him. DONT FORGET!. Wherever you find him, bring him to me. 'Understood?'
Father and son looked at each other and said 'understood.'
...
Ahh I'm tired, there's no end to this.
Should I rest here for a little while?
ahhhhh I'm really tired.
I'll at least sit leaning against this tree, the sun doesn't hit it either.
Ah, is there something wrong with this tree and this dynasty? If I just sit quietly and listen to the conversations, I can at least learn a little about something.
The real problem is, who would be here at this hour?
There are samurai at the front entrance, there could be politicians, and if they are, I will know some things I shouldn't know. If these things I learn cause me trouble in the future, I might have a hard time.The people here would not kill a 15-year-old kid like me without orders, after all, they are loyal to their masters, just like a dog.
hmmm someone is coming.
The only thing I need to focus on right now is their conversation. Kaage, don't think about anything, focus on your work
kaage waited silently for the people who came to start talking.
The old commander asked, 'Why are the master and the master's son so interested in that house burning in the forest? What is it that interests them so much?'
'That house belonged to someone they knew, so it's clear why they were interested,' said one middle-aged politician.
'He also sent his own grandson to investigate what happened to that house. He said he took a shortcut there.'
ha- when they say house in the forest they clearly mean our house but is there a short way to our house?
So why don't I know that path?
Why was this path never explained to me?
but it's a good thing I didn't go down that path or I would have been caught by the grandson of Mr. Hatamoto, the lord of this place. so why are they interested in our house? for a man who clearly looks like a politician, they know my family. what's the connection between the HATAMOTO CLAN AND MY FAMİLY?
Kaage was drowning in these thoughts.
But the people talking inside suddenly fell silent, and Kaage turned his focus back there.
Why are they silent? Did someone come?
Why, why are you silent? Keep talking.
'Are you talking behind your master's back?'
wha- this man just spoke and inoculate fear in everyone, he reached me, I don't know who he is but it's clear from the superiority he has established that he is dangerous
The man said just one sentence and the ground shook, clearly it would be wisest for me not to mess with him. If I continue to stand here, he will sense my presence. I must continue.
It doesn't matter if I'm fast or slow, I just have to stay quiet.
The man's voice sounded young and serious, like he must have been at least 18 years old, it was obvious from his voice that he was older than me.
'Ahhh you are a commander but you don't care at all about those who secretly eavesdrop on you.' in a sarcastic tone.
fuck- they noticed me, they are focused there now, other people can't hear me running
Kaage started to run away with quick steps.
As I expected, they didn't notice me.
inside at that time
The old commander asked, "Is it someone who is eavesdropping on us? Are you sure about this? Every samurai and normal person here has the right to know what we are talking about, right?"
'What you said is ridiculous, if it was something private, we would talk about it somewhere secret, wouldn't we?'
The sarcastic voice said, 'Hmmm, take it however you want, I mean whatever, I don't care anyway.'
'Ah, actually, I came here to give you a warning. Be careful what you say, or it will be your last conversation. Do you guys understand?
After saying that sentence, he left them smiling.
He left behind people trembling with fear.
...
Kaage was tired now, he hadn't eaten or drank anything for almost 2 days.
If this continues I'm going to starve to death.
Ah, aren't there any water sources around?
It seems like it would be better if I focused on not dying right now and not the entrance. I should check if there's anything I can drink around me.
Kaage starts looking around and finds a small lake.
Seriously, who would have thought that there would be a water source at the bottom of this place? But if I drink from here, won't I get germs? But I'm thirsty, germs... I'll get sick the maximum. Quenching my thirst is more important.
I drink water from the lake.
Ah, now that I think about it, maybe luck really is on my side. If I hadn't looked up, I wouldn't have seen that sign, and why would something like the entrance be just a few feet away? I mean, not at the actual entrance.
Anyway, I've been trying to walk the other way for hours. The last one was at noon, but now it seems to end at noon. I have to get in before I go to bed. There are more guards at night.
There are fewer trees here. If I run, I will make less noise. Finally, I can run freely.
Kaage started running quickly, skipping every tree in his path and heading towards the back door without hitting anything.
He whispered to himself, 'Ahhh, I should have run from the beginning. I finally made it to the back entrance.'
Ahhh... there seems to be a problem. The guards have arrived.
ugh i should have moved faster
What should I do? Should I wait for them to leave? Or should I plan?
Killing is an option but I can't do anything while they have a sword in their hand.
Let's trust in luck a little more
It seems luck was on Kaage's side. The guards heard the emergency bell and ran inside the dynasty, leaving the back entrance alone.
I seriously can't believe it... luck... ahaha seriously luck is with me. It was so easy
Ok, time to approach the door.
I looked around and went inside. As soon as I got inside, I checked my surroundings again. There was no one. They seemed to be gathered in the middle of each dynasty. Should I go there?
They shouldn't suspect me. What should I do? I'd better go slowly towards the middle and blend in with the people and look like a local. Yes, that's an excellent plan.
It's not a good idea to walk in the middle of the road. Instead, it's a better idea to walk along the path between the houses.
Just as Kaage was about to go to the path between the houses, someone called out to him.
I think I fucked up.
young male, 'hey you there with the black hair, the one with the hair coming down to your neck.'
I turned around and said 'me?'
'Yes, you. Why are you here? The master called everyone to the middle.'
kaage lie, think lie
'I'm sorry I'm a little late. I was sick so I just left home. Oh, and instead of walking in the middle, I was going to walk along the path between the houses.'
'Oh, if you say so. But I've never seen it before.'
'It's normal that you don't see it. Until this age, I was lying at home sick. In recent days, my illness had started to disappear. And now I'm fine.'
'Aahhh okay then you just said you were fine, do you want to come with me? Besides if you come with me no one will be able to say anything to you for being late.'
'ahh... thank you for your kindness. let's go then.'
Is it a good idea to go with it?
