In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

After the bandits near Kyoto were wiped out, Kondo Isami and Serizawa Kamo even went to more distant places to wipe out the bandits.

Thanks to the Mibu wolf, the surrounding areas outside Kyoto are now completely safe.

The only dangerous place now is inside Kyoto.

At an opportune moment, Serizawa Kamo contacted Matsudaira Katamori, the Kyoto Guardian, and with some money and connections, successfully replaced Kiyokawa Hachiro, who was nowhere to be found.

The Mibu Roshi Group took on the heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of Kyoto.

The shogunate allocated a large courtyard specifically for the Mibu Roshigumi (Mibu warriors).

Serizawa Kamo packed her things, preparing to move from Mibu-dera to Kyoto, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Sigh, I guess it will be hard to see Kanna and those kids who used to come to Mibu-ji Temple again."

The children of Mibu Village were not afraid of the samurai at all, and they would come to Mibu Temple to play every afternoon without fail. Kondo Isami would not stop them, since they were just staying at the temple in the village.

Okita Souji was also somewhat down, but reason prevailed.

"Oh, Kanna, I have to go to work."

Hijikata Toshizo got goosebumps all over: "Hurry up and go, stop being so sentimental, it's not like we'll never have a chance to meet again."

Thirty-six members of the Mibu Roshi Group shouldered their packs and entered the garden in Kyoto.

After everyone had settled their personal belongings, the thirty-six samurai gathered in front of the courtyard.

Kondo Isami, Serizawa Kamo, and Niimi Nishiki stood side by side, looking at the others in front of them.

"Through the efforts of the Imperial Court, the Shogunate, and ourselves, we have obtained what we wanted."

“From today onwards, we are no longer the Mibu Roshigumi.”

Our name is... Shinsengumi!

wow-

A large flag with the Chinese character "诚" (sincerity) printed on a black background with white lettering was unfurled beside the three people.

"Our organization will be recorded under the Aizu Domain, but our base, our purpose, and our ambitions will remain entirely in Kyoto."

"From this moment forward, in accordance with the Imperial Court's appointment, I, Kondo Isami, will lead the Shinsengumi as Director, together with Mr. Serizawa and Mr. Niimi."

"The subordinate officials are Hijikata Toshizo and Yamanami Keisuke."

"The remaining people will be divided into three squads of ten."

"First Division, Division Commander: Okita Souji."

"Second Division, Captain Saito Hajime."

"Third Division, Division Commander: Nagakura Shinpachi."

"above!"

"Oh!"

Although there were only about thirty people, the shouts they unleashed were deafening.

Hijikata Toshizo stood up and walked to the three of them.

"As the maintainers of Kyoto's security, it is necessary for us to establish our own rules."

"I have no doubt about your determination to obey orders, but... thirty-odd people are not enough to maintain the safety of Kyoto. We need to recruit more blood."

"Therefore, as a weapon to limit and restrain myself, I will formulate 'rules within the game'."

A glint of bloodlust flashed in Hijikata Toshizo's eyes.

"The rules and regulations within the organization will be the sole guideline for our Shinsengumi's operations!"

"One!" Hijikata Toshizo held up one finger. "The way of the samurai must not be violated!"

"One!" Hijikata Toshizo continued in a booming voice, "No one may leave the organization without permission!"

"First! It is forbidden to raise funds privately and accept bribes!"

"First! No unauthorized litigation or mediation is allowed!"

First! Internal strife must not be unjustified!

"The above five points, in no particular order, are all number one!"

Hijikata Toshizo's eyes swept over everyone.

"Anyone who violates the above five rules shall be... executed by seppuku!"

"No arguments allowed, understand?"

"Yes! Understood!"

The Shinsengumi responded in unison, their voices carrying a strong smell of blood.

Two servants carried two stacks of clothes and quietly placed them beside the three bureau chiefs. After bowing, they silently withdrew.

Kondo Isami, Serizawa Kamo, and Niimi Nishiki stood up, picked up their clothes, and put them on.

This is a light blue haori with a mountain-like pattern on it.

Hijikata Toshizo and Yamanami Keisuke each took one and put it on themselves.

Okita Souji, Saito Hajime, and Nagakura Shinpachi distributed the remaining clothes to the members of their respective squads.

Once everyone had put on their light blue haori, Kondo Isami grinned menacingly.

"Shinsengumi!"

"Today, we are born!"

"Ohh ...

......

"Kondo took his pack of wolves to Kyoto." Samura stood on a large tree in the distance, looking at the now empty Mibu-ji Temple.

His fears did not come true; Kondo Isami successfully changed his kind-hearted personality, becoming cold and ruthless.

Only someone like Kondo can be considered a good enemy.

"I won't be able to see Okita-neechan anymore." Kanna looked a little sad.

"We'll meet again." Zuo Cun patted Kanna's head, his eyes slightly cold.

I have sensed your determination.

In the time that followed, we truly became... enemies.

Zuo Cun has recently been discussing something with Ryoma. If that thing really comes to fruition, Zuo Cun and the wolf cub will undoubtedly become mortal enemies.

“I will stand on my own side... Sometimes I wish you weren’t so firm in your stance... No, it is you who are firm in your stance.”

"...See you on the battlefield."

It's 21:17 now, and I'm experiencing severe heart pain.

As the title says, I apologize for not updating today. I need to go to the hospital now.

Chapter 375: Wu Shi Ruishan’s Warning

The Shinsengumi, led by Kondo Isami, Serizawa Kamo, and Niimi Nishiki, quickly got to work.

They brought the discipline and methods they used during the bandit suppression campaign to Kyoto.

With the assistance of the shogunate, the Shinsengumi's work quickly unfolded and spread throughout Kyoto.

......

During this period, Samura frequently traveled between Kyoto and Satsuma, spending six out of ten days on the road and two days in Kyoto and two days in Satsuma.

He was discussing his stance with Ryoma.

Ryoma drafted a new organization in Satsuma, and Samura will also be involved.

Zuocun compiled the discussions he had with Ryoma during this period into a booklet.

He suggested to Ryoma that they infiltrate Kyoto.

It was widely known that Emperor Komei and his son Mutsuhito had a strained relationship.

Zuocun wanted to find out why the father and son were at odds.

He had a vague feeling that this was an opportunity.

When Ryoma returned to Kyoto, he looked into Sakura's eyes and said, "Although you always claim to be alone, don't forget, Sakura."

"No matter how strong a person's martial arts are, they cannot contend with a powerful force."

“I am a few years older than you, and although I may not have more or more experience than you, my strength is weaker than yours.”

"The strong use their strength, the weak use their minds."

"While your ideas are insightful and I admire them, they are sometimes too idealistic and arbitrary, always using your own capabilities as the bottom line when making plans."

Longma sighed softly.

"You are very strong; it would be difficult to find a samurai stronger than you in all of Japan."

"But Zuocun, be more cautious, think of me, think of Kanna."

Zuocun didn't know how to answer.

After pondering for a long time, Zuo Cun finally gave an ambiguous answer.

"Sakamoto, I know what you're saying, but..."

"I want to do more."

Ryoma stared at Samura for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Sometimes I'm really glad you adopted Kanna."

"Then go ahead, but be careful not to act rashly. This is a critical moment when the British are angry."
