A reasonably developed ninja world

"We will be on stage in a moment. Let me tell you again, you must be full of emotions. We are big stars and we have to show our best side to the daimyo. Do you understand?" Nagata held a scroll and said, Pretending to be a loudspeaker, the sound was very exciting but deliberately low.

Then he turned around and waved his hand, "Are the lights and props ready? acn."

"Nagata, what are you doing facing the wall? Come on and put on your makeup. The jester from the Fire Country will be on stage soon." The actor who played Cang Lian Shanpo didn't need to appear in the first scene, so he watched Nagata muttered alone and couldn't help but remind him.

Nagata put down the scroll and sighed, "Every actor has a dream to be a director. This is called acting and directing. You guys without dreams will not understand."

Inciting a burst of laughter, "Nagata, you are indeed good at acting. Lord Tobirama is really wise in appointing you to play the jester."

Why can't I play the role of Lin Zi Xiangru, Chang Tian? The role of Cang Lian Shan Po is also good. Why do I have to play Rigoletto?

Nagata's face drooped, and he let the make-up ninja put a big piece of white powder on the bridge of his nose, which was the look of a Peking Opera clown.

At first, Nagata happily gave Mito the idea. In order to highlight the funnyness of the character of the Rigoletto, he had to make him look funny, so as to have a comedic effect. But the ninja who played the jester refused to do it, saying it would damage his majestic image. Nagata also said some comforting words, such as saying that everything is ugly and everyone is doing it for work. It doesn't work yet.

Tobirama slapped the table, "Since it's your idea, then you can act." Mito readily agreed and threatened to confiscate Nagata's snacks if he didn't act. Nagata had to succumb to the power. Played the buffoon.

If you were to act for a daimyo, of course you couldn't find an open space in Konoha and watch it with the common people. Therefore, "The Duke and the Ninja" written by Nagata entered the Damingden Hall. It's considered to be on a higher level.

A temporary stage was set up in the Daimyo Hall. The Daimyo, his wife, Tobirama, Hashirama, Mito and the Daimyo's children sat in the first row. The accompanying officials were in the second row, and the ninjas at the back were there.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire took his wife on a trip, and the message to the outside world was that this event was really just a fun trip. Because the custom in the ninja world is that women cannot participate in official affairs. If there are family members present, it is considered a private interaction. Of course, if this woman holds power, that would be a different matter.

Therefore, although Mito has a high status and is supported by her mother's Uzumaki clan, she never participates in the official affairs of Konoha. Even the family affairs of the Senju family are left to the elders.

This behavior won unanimous praise from Konoha, and Tobirama also respected Mito.

"Hurry, Nagata, it's your turn."

"Here we come." Nagata agreed, "Lord, I'm here to share your worries." He lifted up his robe and walked onto the stage in small steps from the side.

Not to mention, Nagata himself is underage and only half the height of other actors. In comparison, it has quite a comedic effect.

The daimyo in the audience laughed, "Tobirama, this kid is very interesting."

Daimyo was very interested in any entertainment activities, which is why Nagata designed the role of Fool between the two tall protagonists. If it is too great and upright, no one will like it.

"Oh, this is the retainer of my Senju family, my name is Senju Nagata." Tobirama chatted.

To be honest, he has watched this play many times to review the content. No matter how beautiful it is, it's boring.

There’s no need to worry about the general direction. Mito is there to check that Nagata won’t be allowed to add content that satirizes the daimyo’s stupidity. This is to put eye drops on the daimyo, and it is also causing trouble for Konoha. Nagata will not do it, and Mito will not allow it.

But in terms of small details, for example, it's hard to say whether Canglian Shanpo is a white hedgehog-headed man wearing a blue armor and a mask. When the time comes, when he takes off his shirt and carries a string of shurikens on his back, no one would think of Tobirama.

Let Nagata play the jester, doesn't Nagata feel suffocated in his heart?

You see, Nagata started to seek death again. "My lord, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder is arrogant and unreasonable. If he sends troops to fight, it will be up to our men."

The next thing I should say here is “How can you resist?”

Nagata added another paragraph in the middle, and it became "Senju Tobirama is like a drunkard. He can't do anything, doesn't eat enough, and exploits underage ninjas as much as possible. How can you resist." He lifted his robe. Made a show.

Fortunately, the people participating in the show are ninjas. When they go on missions, they encounter many unexpected situations, and they still manage to survive. Normally, I definitely don’t have the middle part of my lines, but I still kept my expression unchanged and continued to act “What should I do, what should I do” without any laughter.

Watching this, Tobirama's brows jumped wildly, which made the Daimyo and others burst into laughter.

In the capital, the daimyo also watched comedy shows, but this was the first time he saw such jokes making fun of people around him. Who would dare to do that? Aren't they afraid of being beaten to death when they go out? Especially since the person being teased is Tobirama, who is always serious, it is of course even more interesting.

"This crazy show is very interesting, I like it very much." The daimyo smiled and slapped Tobirama with the fan in his hand.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Tobirama quickly changed the topic, "Crazy show?"

The daimyo finally stopped laughing: "Tobirama, you are still a little too serious. Now the samurai and ministers in Kyoto like to watch Sarugaku very much. In Kyoto, this form of story performance is now called Noh drama. Noh drama The comic passages interspersed in it are called kyogen. I never expected that such a wonderful kyogen could be seen in a ninja village, which is known for its seriousness."

"As long as you like it, adults." What can Tobirama say? Isn't it a great honor for Konoha to have such an alternative like Nagata?

"Hashirama, Tobirama can't do these tricks. Did you design it? I think it fits your character very well." The daimyo looked past Tobirama and towards Hashirama.

In formal occasions, Tobirama is the current Hokage and the highest leader of Konoha, so the one closest to the daimyo is Tobirama, then Hashirama and Mito.

"Oh, I can't come up with such wonderful lines. They were all designed by Senju Nagata. The actions were designed by Mito." Hashirama also smiled happily.

If the exposure of talent in ninja ability would arouse the fear of the daimyo, then there would be no scruples in exposing talent in comedy.

Konoha lacks this kind of people who can talk to daimyo, otherwise there is no need to go through the monks of the Fire Temple and ask around for information from high-level circles.

If Nagata can impress the daimyo deeply with comedy and establish a relationship, it will be very beneficial to both Nagata and Konoha.

Of course, Hashirama didn't have such thoughts, he simply felt that Nagata's contribution should be appreciated.

"This child is very interesting. After the performance, I hope to chat with this child about opera creation." The daimyo flapped his fan.

"Of course, no problem." Tobirama agreed.

The reputation of the daimyo liking Shakuhachi has always been spread, so it is not surprising that he is interested in Kyogen.

"Come that day, Tobirama, and accept the influence of art. Don't be a boring person, Tobirama."

Tobirama was stunned for a moment, "Okay."

At the same time, Mito also had a sudden thought in his heart.
