Unexpected Visitors (I)

After meeting Jin, Eigo moved towards his mansion. When he was about to enter his room he met his brother Hideki Mononobe.

"Where did you go little brother? " Hideki smiled at Eigo gently

Eigo had a bad predominance in his heart but he smiled , "nothing brother just went for a walk"

"Can you walk with me in the garden?" Hideki asked glaring at Eigo.

Eigo was not sure what hus brother is thinking. Did my plan backfire. Does he believe all the rumors that I started.

As Hideki and Eigo started getting out of the mansion.The guards started following them Hideki suddenly stared at a corner and turned towards the guards " Don't follow us".

Akari's heart skipped a beat as the place where Hideki stared was were she weas standing at the time.

Eigo motioned his guards not to follow them up. Akari left the mansion and started following Hideki and Eigo from a distance.

"Your guards are quite loyal and strong" Hideki said playfully.

Eigo didn't know how to react as his brother Hideki will be the future Daimyo. It only takes one word for him to kill him. If he says that Eigo is plotting something , his own mother would kill him in his sleep. Cold sweat started flowing down from his head.

Seeing Eigo's reaction Hideki was worried.

"Brother do you know who brought Tsuande when you are poisoned? ".

Eigo didn't investigate his poisoning as it included his Step mom which may lead to further escalation.

Eigo just shook his head.

" It was me. I know all the rumors going around in the capital don't worry I trust you". Hideki said with a serious face looking at Eigo's face.

Eigo felt relived after hearing his brother's assurances.

" When the time comes Azumi will be removed I already discussed it with our father but because of her background we couldn't make a move " Hideki replied after a while.

After hearing the last words Eigo was perplexed who is Azumi Fukumi. She is Hideki's birth mother why is Hideki going to great lengths in helping him rather supporting his own mother.

Eigo had a complicated face," Brother why are you supporting me rather than your mother?"

Hideki just smiled "sometimes people don't appreciate what they are given rather they focus on what they could never get".

Eigo was utterly confused what his brother is saying was he pointing towards me or is he telling about his mother.

Seeing Eigo's confused look " You are my brother whatever you are wish for I will give it you" Hideki said again

" Brother I would never seek power, I don't want the Daimyo's position ever in my life" Eigo spoke nervously.

Eigo didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He don't know what Hideki is thinking.

" Eigo do you know I have lost many friends and even my love for shouldering the future Daimyo's responsibility. I don't want you to shoulder any of my pain".

After hearing Hideki's words Eigo knew only Azumi would have done something to his brother for his hatred and loneliness.

Hideki asked Eigo to stay with him during the spring festival which will happen next week.

Spring festival is one the biggest festival in the land of fire. As all people would be thanking gods for the enormous harvest and health. People from all other lands will visit the land of fire for the festive occasion.

After their long walk Eigo returned to his mansion and laid down on his bed as he was thinking about the conversation with his brother. He was glad that he had a loving brother

Tsunade was gambling in the capital along with her cute disciple shizune.As she was loosing all the money in the gambling den everyday but the creditor always provided her with 1 million ryo everyday.

Little did she know the gambling dens she played where all owned by Jin's people. And most importantly if you see clearly people gambling with her may be random but they are the same.

Tsunade knew about it and wanted to win against them so that she could take away the money but her unyielding luck never let her win.

As the next day started Jin came to Tsuande's room with a huge smile carrying the money.

As he was about to knock on the door. Tsunade opened the door "I want to meet your Young master".

Jin scratched his head embarrassing." Tsunade sama....." as he was about to speak.

" I am not asking you. I want him here by evening or else I would go meet him in the mansion myself" Tsunade said and closed the door grabbing the money from Jin fastly.
