The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The eighty million US dollars promised by Finley to the Iga family would be paid in two installments.

Firstly, fifty percent was paid in the form of a deposit. The remaining fifty percent would be paid after the mission had been successfully completed.

Finley also gave a promise of an additional two million US dollars pension for each ninja, in case they died during the mission.

In order to ensure the successful completion of the task, Hattori Hanzo sent his only son, Hattori Kazuo, for the mission.

He specifically instructed Kazuo to lead the team to the United States. Kazuo must ensure the smooth completion of the mission and a triumphant return, as much as possible.

Hanzo called Kazuo into his study for this very reason. After informing Kazuo the situation, he told Kazuo, "Kazuo, you should select seven of your best men and go to the United States as soon as possible!"

Kazuo was a little concerned. "Father, we've already sworn allegiance to the Ito family. Shouldn't we report this matter to them and seek their approval first? I fear there will be trouble for us if they find out that we acted without their authorization."

Hanzo waved his hand and snapped coldly, "Don't worry about the Ito family. They don't care about us Iga ninjas. We've already pledged our allegiance to them for so long, but they've only used us once for a trip to Oskia. We had to go to the Wade family's Mount Wintry and face the Ten Thousand Armies. If this continues, we'll die of hunger sooner or later!"

A resentful expression crossed Hanzo's face. "Ito Nanako, the so-called Yamato Nadeshiko of the Ito family, isn't a very good person either. When she set off to Oskia, she never told us the identity of the enemy we'd be fighting against. We only found out that our enemy was the famous Ten Thousand Armies after we reached Mount Wintry! That was clearly a trick to send us to our deaths!"

Kazuo interjected quickly, said, "Father, you might not understand everything. When we got to Mount Wintry, you also witnessed the unbelievable strength of the Wade family's young master. Miss Ito was said to be his confidante, so she was probably aware of his strength. When Miss Ito signaled for us to go to Mount Wintry, it's very likely that she already knew that Young Master Wade would definitely win.

She was simply sending us there as support."

Hanzo snorted coldly, "Anyway, that woman was hiding the truth from us all along. I can't stand it!"

With that said, Hanzo gazed at Kazuo and said solemnly, "Kazuo, you must know. The top families in the country now are no longer the same as the era of the three-legged confrontation..."

"During the three-legged

confrontation, the three families held each other in check, guarded each other, and targeted each other. It was only then did they reflect the importance of us ninjas..."

"But now, the Ito family is victorious. They're looking at the whole of Japan! Aside from the Yamaguchi group, no one can rival the Ito family. Will the Ito family still need ninjas?" "What's more, the four ninja families are all loyal to the Ito family now. However, the Ito family has no need for ninjas anymore. Everyone's economy is being stretched to the limit! If this continues any further, we'll eventually starve to death. If no one needs ninjas, and if no one's paying for ninjas, we will go extinct!"

"We... we can't apply for subsidies from the Japanese government and turn the ninjas into an intangible cultural heritage, can we?"

"Then you, a descendant of the great ninja families, will have to stay in tourist attractions every day and make money by performing ninjutsu for tourists." "How can we be worthy of our ancestors?"

Kazuo was speechless.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

His father's words weren't

completely alarming. The ninja's significance was very marginal in modern society. However, they.

survived till this day due to bio net

families willing to pay for their

services.
