When asked about the candidate to replace the daimyo, Hagoromo Zenitsu remained silent for two or three seconds and then said, "Young clan leader, do you have any candidate for the clan member who will replace the daimyo?"
Shigeru shook his head and thought about the common members of the clan, most of whom he didn't know, and the only person he knew was the house maid.
However, it's impossible to allow a maid to be a candidate for such important decisions. She's unreliable, even on second thought.
Then, Shigeru turned around and asked, "Zenitsu-San, do you have any recommendations?"
Zenitsu hesitated for a moment: "If the young patriarch doesn't have a candidate, what about my son?"
After finishing speaking, Zenitsu looked at Shigeru with some anxiety and admitted that he was a little selfish, but that his son was indeed a good candidate.
Shigeru was surprised, "Oh? I remember Zenitsu-San's son is a ninja, right?"
He's met Zenitsu's son several times. He's a chunin with mediocre talent, but common people should replace the daimyo. Come on, being a ninja doesn't qualify.
Zenitsu shook his head. "No, actually I have a son, and he's also my eldest son. When he was young, he was very intelligent, but then I discovered he didn't have the talent of a ninja, so I let him run the clan's business."
As mentioned above, the Hagoromo clan has businesses in goose breeding and selling goose pulamas, which are run by ordinary members of the family who have no ninja talent.
But Shigeru did not expect Zenitsu's son to run the clan's business because he had no ninja talent.
"Since Zenitsu-san thinks there's no problem, let's let your son do it."
Anyway, Zenitsu definitely wouldn't deceive him in this kind of matter, so Shigeru would still give him that face.
Seeing Shigeru agree, Zenitsu couldn't help but show a grateful smile on his face "Thank you, young clan leader."
Shigeru nodded and, after discussing some details with the other party, turned around and left.
Zenitsu's eldest son is delivering an order for the goose feather business and won't be back for a while. Therefore, since everything has been discussed, there's no need for Shigeru to stay any longer.
Three days later, Zenitsu's eldest son was called away, and it was the first time Shigeru met the second elder's common son.
The boy's name is Hagoromo Ushimaru. His appearance conveys great ability, and his eyes shine even brighter.
Now it seems that there should be no problem for this person to replace a Daimyo.
"Zenitsu-San should have told you what we're going to do, right?" Shigeru asked.
Ushimaru looked at Shigeru with a firm face and nodded, "Don't worry, young clan leader, I will definitely complete this task!"
How exciting it is to replace the daimyo, Ushimaru thought he would sell goose feathers for the rest of his life, but he did not expect the young patriarch to entrust him with such an important task.
He swore that he would not disappoint the young patriarch's expectations.
Seeing Ushimaru so serious, Shigeru smiled affirmatively "I believe you!
If our plan to unify the world and achieve peace is successful, then your name will be remembered by the world and you will become a great and indispensable existence on the path to peace."
Shigeru himself firmly believes that his dream of unifying the world and achieving peace will undoubtedly come true.
When the time comes, like Ushimaru, who represents the common people and contributes to peace, his name will definitely go down in history.
"Good! Young Patriarch! I will definitely do my best to achieve your dream!" Ushimaru looked at Shigeru and nodded enthusiastically.
It was the young patriarch who gave him the opportunity to no longer live an ordinary life, to be able to live differently, to be able to contribute to the clan.
Therefore, whatever happens, it must live up to the young patriarch's expectations.
Shigeru said solemnly, "No, it's our dream. Don't you want to achieve peace as soon as possible?"
Ushimaru nodded fiercely and with respect in his eyes "Yes! It's our dream!"
Looking at Ushimaru with a serious look on his face, Shigeru smiled, then turned around and asked, "Zenitsu-Sab, regarding the daimyo, have you found a suitable target?"
Hagoromo Zenitsu took out a map, unfolded it, and said, "I think Daimyo Tanaka, who is guarding Tanzaku-gai City, is the best choice."
"Tanzaku-gai?" Shigeru was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of Zenitsu's finger.
The place Hagoromo Zenitsu mentioned is in the middle of the northern part of the Land of Fire, northwest of the original Yuhihi clan, near the Land of Rice Fields.
"Yes, this Daimyo Tanaka is over fifty years old, has two daughters and a son, but his eldest daughter has already married, his sphere of influence is neither large nor small, and there are no powerful daimyos around him. I think he's a very suitable target." Hagoromo Zenitsu pointed at the map and explained.
After listening, Shigeru thought for a moment or two and then nodded, "Okay, that's the goal!"
The geographical conditions are quite good and are very suitable for the development of their further plans.
Everything was ready, and after greeting the clan leader, Shigeru, Zenitsu and Ushimaru drove a carriage and left the Hagoromo clan.
After all, the fewer people who knew about such an important matter, the better, so it was only fitting that the three of them go there.
Regarding his son's departure and the subsequent departure of the second elder, Ryokawa didn't interfere too much. He simply said, "Pay attention to safety," and let them go.
On the official road, three people were driving a carriage north.
If it were Shigeru and Zenitsu, they would have run. However, now that there was an ordinary person, they could only go to the former defensive city by carriage.
"Ushimaru, since you're replacing Tanaka Daimyo, don't use this name now. To reduce the risk of exposure, you'd better change your name."
Sitting in the carriage, Shigeru reminded him of Ushimaru.
Hearing this, Hagoromo Ushimaru immediately sat up straight. "Please, I ask the young patriarch to give me a new name!"
Shigeru looked at Zenitsu.
After seeing the other party looking at him solemnly, Shigeru pondered for a moment and then said, "From now on, your name will be Yamamoto Tetsuno."
