I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

As we all know, Shumou has always been kind to the chasing party.

In order to let the chasing party enjoy watching, I will continue to explode the update today. There are 18,000 words today, and I will write a climax in one breath.

Ask for a monthly pass, isn't it too much?

*****

*****

Although it was only a move against the "man in black with two swords", but only through this move, Xu Yi could tell that the "man in black with two swords" was not an easy person.

- No time to spend here...

Ogata is now rushing to Yoshiwara.

So he let go of Da Shitian's handle with his left hand, touched his left waist, and pulled out Da Zizai.

Looking at Ogata who had changed his swords, the "man in black with double swords" raised his eyebrows in surprise.

After switching to double swords, Ogata took the initiative to kill the "man in black with double swords" with Da Shitian and Da Zizao in his hands without any hesitation.

Da Shitian and Da Zizai turned into two beams of silver light, enveloping the "man in black with two swords".

Ogata swung his two knives and slashed at the "man in black with two knives".

However—no matter how Ogata swings his sword, the "man in black with two swords" can always accurately block or avoid every move he makes.

While receiving every move of Ogata, the "man in black with two swords" can also launch a fierce counterattack against Ogata from time to time.

Although his fierce counterattack was also not effective.

Just like every attack of Ogata was received, every attack of the "man in black with two swords" was also received by Ogata.

The more Ogata hit, the more surprised he became.

He didn't hold anything back.

Every move he made showed his true skills.

But no matter how he moves, this "man in black with two swords" can accurately resolve and then counterattack.

The formidable strength of the "man in black with two swords" surprised Ogata.

Ogata couldn't help recalling the reminder his uncle gave him just now - Shuntaro, the head of the "Four Heavenly Kings", is nearby!

--This guy……

Ogata's face darkened.

——Could it be Shuntaro...

Of course—the reason why Ogata is surprised now is that besides the strength of the "two-sword man in black" in front of him, there is actually another reason.

That is: he always felt that this "man in black with two swords" had an inexplicable and inexplicable sense of familiarity...

Ogata didn't know that the "man in black with two swords" who was fighting with him had the same thoughts as him.

...

...

——This guy...so strong!

Shuntaro couldn't contain the astonishment in his heart.

Although Shuntaro saw that the "White Fox" was a difficult character after fighting the "White Fox" with a move, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

The two sides have exchanged offense and defense for more than a dozen rounds, and the fight is still inextricable, and it is impossible to tell which is better.

——This guy...who the hell...why...he always feels familiar...

After seeing the "white fox" for the first time,

Instant Taro felt a sense of familiarity.

I always feel like I have seen this person somewhere...

clang!

The double swords of "White Fox" and Shuntaro's double swords collided heavily in an "X" shape, and they wrestled with each other.

Because the swords of the two were holding each other, Shuntaro was able to clearly see what the saber of "White Fox" looked like.

Just now, he had been focusing on the confrontation with "White Fox", so Shuntaro hadn't had time to pay attention to "White Fox"'s saber.

Until now—the two swords were together, and the sword of "White Fox" was only a few feet away from him, Shuntaro finally noticed the sword of "White Fox".

The two knives of "White Fox", no matter the handle or the handle, are beautiful in blue and gold - very familiar.

Looking at these two familiar sabers, memories emerged from Shuntaro's mind like a rising tide.

Shuntaro's eyes widened in astonishment as the memory came to him.

He finally understood what the familiarity of "White Fox" was about.

...

...

Ogata Ben and the "Men in Black with Two Swords" crossed swords and fought hard.

But for some reason, the "man in black with two swords" suddenly opened his eyes wide.

It looked like he had seen something surprising.

Although I don't know what happened to the "man in black with two swords", but his violent mood swings are tantamount to showing his own flaws and giving Ogata a chance.

Ogata took a quick step back, withdrawing from the wrestling with the "man in black with two swords", and then swung his sword horizontally at the "man in black with two swords" in the face.

Due to the violent emotional fluctuations, Shuntaro's reaction was a little slower.

Even though he retreated and avoided Ogata's knife, Da Shitian's blade still cut through the cloth wrapped under the eyes of the "man in black with two swords".

Half of the face of the "man in black with two swords" was exposed.

Although the cloth on the face was cut, the "man in black with double swords" picked up the cut cloth in time and tied it on his face.

But Ogata still saw the half face of the "man in black with two swords" in this short moment.

Just like the "man in black with two swords" just now, Ogata's eyes are now wide open.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Hurry up! Here! There seems to be a samurai fighting!"

"Stop it all! Obediently just grab it!"

...

At this moment, loud noises and footsteps suddenly sounded outside the alley.

Ogata and the "Men in Black with Two Swords" both looked towards the entrance of the alley.

I saw the official messengers with various types of traps running towards them at a fast pace.

Ogata thought to himself:

——Is the official here...

It's rather strange that there is such a big commotion on their side, if it doesn't attract officials.

Looking at the officials rushing towards this side, the "man in black with double knives" took the lead in retracting the two knives in his hands to his back, and then jumped onto the roof next to him in two steps, before quickly disappearing.

Seeing that the "man in black with two swords" took the initiative to put away his swords and leave the battle, Ogata also put away his two sabers.

Ogata did not go after the "man in black with two swords".

Compared with chasing the "man in black with two swords", there is an obviously more urgent matter waiting for Ogata to do.

"I feel like there are more and more problems..."

After sighing softly like this, Ogata supported the saber at his waist and ran towards another alley...

He ignored the shouts of the officials behind him.

Raised his speed to the highest speed.

While getting rid of the pursuit of the officials, he rushed towards Yoshihara.

...

...

Shuntaro doesn't want to get in touch with officials.

If you do something to the officials of the shogunate, it will cause a lot of trouble.

So after seeing the official messenger appear, Shuntaro took the initiative to withdraw his knife and fled that alley.

Shuntaro turned his head and looked in the direction of the alley where he fought the "White Fox" just after fleeing until he could no longer see the official servant.

His eyes are full of complicated colors.

"Master Shuntaro!"

A series of noisy footsteps appeared from Shuntaro's side.

Shun Taro followed the reputation, it was Zhou Taro and the others.

"Master Shuntaro! Finally found you! How is it? Did you find that traitor?" Zhou Taro asked.

"I found it." Shuntaro said softly, "But that traitor has other accomplices, so let him escape, although I have asked the rest of my subordinates to chase, but I don't know if they can be chased. "

"Anyone else?!" Zhou Tailang gritted his teeth, "What a difficult guy...!"

"In short—" Shuntaro said lightly, "Let's prepare for the possible failure of tonight's mission..."

"Master Shuntaro! Master Shuntaro!"

Before Shuntaro finished speaking, a sharp shout suddenly sounded from behind Shuntaro, interrupting Shuntaro's words.

Shuntaro turned his head and saw a panting, sweating ninja running towards him.

Shuntaro frowned - in his impression, he did not have this person among his subordinates tonight.

"Master Shuntaro! Ha... ha... finally found you!"

"Who are you? I don't remember that I have you among my subordinates tonight."

"Master Shuntaro! I just came out of the village! I'm here to report to you!"

The ninja's face was full of panic.

"Master Shuntaro! Please go back to the village now!"

"Going back to the village now? What happened?" Shuntaro-sama frowned even deeper.

"Yan, Lord Yanmo is dead!"

...

...

Edo, Yoshiwara——

"Ha..." Keemon yawned big.

A young official who was walking behind Keeimon smiled and said, "Master Keeimon, you seem to be sleepy, why don't you take a break?"

"Yeah, I caught a thief this morning. After several hours of interrogation from day to night, that guy finally admitted that he was also responsible for the previous thefts. He was exhausted..."

After saying that, Keemon yawned again.

Tonight, Keemon is on the night shift.

It was already early morning, and the gate of Yoshihara had been closed long ago, leaving only the small sleeve door next to the gate for people to enter and exit.

At this time, few people would enter or exit through the sleeve door.

All the playgirl houses are closed.

There are no more tourists on the street.

Tourists who choose to stay overnight in Yoshiwara begin to immerse themselves in the gentle countryside.

The only people who would be walking around the streets of Yoshiwara at this point in time were the officials of the Shirobei Clubhouse.

The Shirobei clubhouse, which shoulders the important task of governing and protecting Yoshihara, will never close its doors for rest no matter what time of day it is.

The officials who were on duty tonight, carrying lanterns with the word "Clubhouse" printed on them, patrolled the streets of Yoshiwara and stood guard at various posts.

Keeimon, who happened to be on the night shift tonight, led four subordinates to carry out a night patrol on a certain street on the east side of Yoshihara.

The best activity to pass the time in this boring, dreary patrol duty is chitchat.

"Hey, have you heard? The shogunate seems to have sent more troops to Ezo." An official said casually.

"Another increase in troops?" Qingweimen answered, "How much more?"

"It seems that 500 troops from the Aizu Clan have been added. There should be 5,000 troops gathered in Ezo Tina now."

"5000 troops... tsk tsk tsk, a veritable army... How many years has it been since the shogunate assembled such a large army?"

"Heh." A certain official sneered, "I heard from a certain samurai friend of mine that the shogunate's finances are quite tight now because of the heavy troops gathered in Ezo."

"The shogunate is also in decline now..." the officer went on to say, "200 years ago, in the decisive battle with the Toyotomi family, the shogunate was able to mobilize nearly 200,000 troops, but now it is only gathering 5,000 troops in Ezo This will put a strain on the finances.”

"I've been hearing news about Ezo Land recently. I heard that the country of Lucia has frequently sent expeditions to Ezo Land during this time."

"That's right, the shogunate gathered heavy troops in Ezo just to guard against Lucia."

"Speaking of the country of Lucia..." Qingweimen, who had been listening quietly just now, now had a faint look of memory on his face, and said, "Have you ever heard of Lin Ziping?"

"Lin Ziping? I've never heard of it."

"Is it a samurai?"

"Lin Ziping...ah, I've heard the name before, it's the 'strange man', right?"

"That's right." Qingweimen nodded, "It's that 'strange man' Lin Ziping."

"'Strange man'...Master Keemon, how is this man so 'strange'? Tell us about it."

Strange people and strange things, most people like to hear.

The few officials who didn't know who Lin Ziping was, all cast curious glances at Qingweimen.

"About the specific story of Lin Ziping... I don't know too much, I just heard some deeds of this person from a tourist who came to Yoshiwara before."

Keeimon cleared his throat, and continued:

"I heard that Lin Ziping behaved very strangely."

"Don't read the good Four Books and Five Classics, but read some messy books."

"It's fine to read some messy books. He is not honest and peaceful. He always writes to the shogunate and puts forward some weird suggestions."

"It's like opening the sea ban."

"Reorganize the army."

"Ask the shogunate to develop Ezo land."

"Use force to stop Lucia's invasion of the Ezo land."

"Using force to stop Lucia's invasion of Ezo, I understand and agree with it." An official said, "But what does it mean to open the sea ban and develop Ezo? Is there any benefit to these two? "

"That's right, in the icy and snowy land of Ezo, there are not even a few pieces of arable land suitable for farming. What is there to develop?"

"That's why I said Hayashi Tzu-hei is a 'strange man'." Qingweimen laughed, "Because he always said some strange things and did some strange things, so he was called a 'strange man'... eh ?”

Before Keeimon could finish his sentence, he was cut off by the astonishment welling up in his heart.

This involuntarily made Keemon feel a strong sense of astonishment that his body was falling, and it also made Keemon stop unconsciously.

Keemon saw the light.

A reddish orange light came from afar.

And this beautiful light is getting brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was obviously a very beautiful color, but Keemon felt his hair stand on end, and a coolness rose from the soles of his feet and flooded his whole body.

Without any hesitation, Keemon's body moved before his brain.

He lifted the hakama on his lower body, and ran towards the place where the light came out.

The 4 subordinates who were following Keemon also had the same reaction as Keemon.

After seeing this ray of light, they were stunned at first, and when they noticed that Keemon raised his lower body and began to run wildly, the four of them who finally came back to their senses hurriedly followed behind.

As the light gradually approached, Keemon gradually heard screams and screams.

I have spent most of my life in Yoshiwara, and Keeimon has long been familiar with the layout of Yoshihara.

After taking shortcuts, Keemon finally saw the true face of this ray of light.

Just as Keeimon guessed—it was flames.

Red and orange flames enveloped a dilapidated low house with a height of two stories.

The flames have already climbed to other surrounding houses at an extremely fast speed along the logs. Burning logs collapsed and fell.

The flames devoured everything that could catch fire, spewing out a lot of sparks, and the scorched wind carried a little bit of sparks and blew them onto Keemon's face.

Mars pricked the skin, thick smoke irritated the eyes and nose, and just taking a breath, a burning pain began to appear in the throat.

Looking at the raging flames in front of him, Keemon's face turned pale instantly.

This is the residential area of ​​Yoshiwara,

It is early morning.

At this point in time, almost all the residents in the residential area were still asleep, so many people didn't realize that the place was on fire.

Only a few people who lived near the burning house were awakened by the smoke, saw the flames and screamed.

Although Keemon was also taken aback by the flames, fear and shock took over his body for a split second, and Keemon immediately regained control of his body.

Keeimon turned around and quickly issued one order after another to the four subordinates behind him.

"Listen!"

"Go back to the Shirobei clubhouse and wake up Shirobei-sama!"

"Go outside Yoshiwara and call all the town firefighters you can call!"

"Go to various places in Yoshiwara, and call on all the colleagues who are currently patrolling to come to me for support!"

"You and I evacuate the nearby residents together!"

Keeimon methodically issued one order after another.

After Keeimon gave all the orders in an orderly manner, the four people responded in unison, and then began to follow the order Keeimon had given just now.

When Qingweimen and his subordinates who he ordered him to stay to assist the evacuation of the nearby residents separated into two groups, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him as the flames spread faster and faster.

--damn it!

Keimon couldn't help cursing angrily in his heart.

It is now October, which happens to be the time when the sky is dry and things are dry.

In addition - during the recent period, the night wind has been very strong every night.

The fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

With the help of the wind, the flames seemed to be showing off their power, and frantically invaded...

...

...

Guasheng doesn't have to be on the night shift tonight.

So she went to bed early.

While sleeping soundly, a series of noisy voices suddenly woke up Guasheng.

He opened his eyes, lifted the quilt covering his body, sat up, and listened carefully.

The sound of chaotic footsteps, as well as noisy screams and screams poured into Gua Sheng's ears one by one.

"What's going on...?!" Gua Sheng frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Sitting up quickly, he ran to the next window. After opening the window, Guasheng saw that the outside was in a mess.

The house Gua Sheng lives in is only one floor, and he only needs to open the window to see the outside world.

Everyone was either empty-handed, or carrying a bunch of things, and ran away in a panic-this was the scene that caught Gua Sheng's eyes.

At this time, an old lady who was familiar with Guasheng happened to pass by Guasheng's window, so Guasheng hurriedly called the old lady to stop.

"Grandma! What happened?"

"Oh! Xiaoxiu, I just wanted to find you!" The old woman rushed to Guasheng's window with a big cloth bag in her arms.

"Yangya Town is on fire! The fire is so big! Everyone is running for their lives! Xiaoxiu, run away too!"

"Fire?!" Gua Sheng's expression changed, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Yoya-cho is located on the west side of Yoshiwara.

The place where Guasheng lives is located in the east of Yoshihara.

Although it wasn't that the place where the fire started was not nearby, the surrounding residents still "changed their faces when they heard the fire", dragging their families and taking all their valuable luggage with them, and fled to Yoshiwara.

Japan has always been narrowly populated due to its many mountains.

In order to be able to accommodate as many people as possible, the houses are generally you next to me, and I next to you.

Or simply a row of houses directly connected into one, your east wall is my west wall, this kind of house is called "long house", in order to meet the living needs of such a large population, long house is a very common type of house.

The houses are all next to each other, and each house is made of wood and paper, so once a fire breaks out, it basically burns a large area.

The fear of fire is engraved in the bone marrow of everyone in this era.

The wandering girls and civilians living in Yoshiwara are even more afraid of the flames.

More than a hundred years ago, the "Furisode Fire Incident" that burned two-thirds of Edo and killed 100,000 people completely destroyed Yoshiwara.

In that "firing sleeve fire incident", many poor wandering girls died because they were hindered by their gorgeous costumes and could not run flexibly.

The current Yoshihara is the "New Yoshihara" built on the embankment of Japan after the "Old Yoshihara" was destroyed by the "Furisode Fire Incident".

Because in the not-too-distant past, Yoshihara had already been destroyed by flames once, so the people of Yoshihara had no more fear of fire.

Even without being told by others, Guasheng could guess that Yoshihara must be in a mess now, and people from anywhere are rushing out of Yoshihara at this moment.

"Mother-in-law, thank you for letting me know. You should run for your life too."

Gua Sheng with a serious face told the old grandma, and then closed the window.

Gua Sheng didn't go to pack her belongings and pay a salute.

Instead, he picked up the wooden knife placed next to the bedding and rushed out of the room.

The reason why he only took the wooden knife and didn't take other things is also very obvious-Gua Sheng didn't intend to escape like the others.

She is an official of the Shirobe Guards, and the sense of justice and responsibility that has always existed in Guasheng's heart makes her only have one thought now: Hurry up to support the people who are definitely already working hard to evacuate the people in Yoshiwara or put out the fire. colleagues.

Due to the rush to get to the fire site, Gua Sheng didn't intend to waste precious time changing clothes and putting on socks.

Gua Sheng is only wearing a white bathrobe now, and there is no other cloth on his body except this white bathrobe.

Although, as a girl, it seems a bit inappropriate to go out in only a white bathrobe, but Gua Sheng can't care so much now.

Carrying the wooden knife, he rushed out of the room quickly, and went straight to the door of the house along the corridor.

When there were only about 7 steps away from the gate of the house, Gua Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the next moment, Gua Sheng stopped his feet and jumped backwards.

As soon as Gua Sheng jumped away, a short gun penetrated from top to bottom the ceiling above the place where she was standing just now, and pierced towards the place where Gua Sheng was standing just now.

If it wasn't for Guasheng's quick reaction just now, then Guasheng would have been pierced by this ninja knife.

Gua Sheng, who jumped back, heard a frivolous voice from the ceiling as soon as his feet touched the ground:

"Oh? You were able to dodge it, Keitaro, it seems that your skills need to be improved, and you actually let a woman dodge your stab."

"I'm sorry, I will strengthen my training in the future,"

As the voice fell, the short gun was retracted.

After the short gun was retracted above the ceiling, the piece of the ceiling that was pierced by the short gun was moved away.

Then a full 4 people jumped from the ceiling.

The leader had a frivolous smile on his face.

Looking at this young man with a frivolous smile, Gua Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

"Hey~~" "Frivolous Man" looked Guasheng up and down several times, then showed a wretched smile, "Although I often come to Yoshiwara and hear your name often, but this is the first time I have seriously looked at you face."

"Look carefully, you look very good-looking, and your feet are small, very cute."

"Your face is enough for you to be the top card in the girl's house."

Gua Sheng ignored the compliments the "frivolous man" had just given her.

He only silently raised the wooden knife in his hand and held it tightly with both hands.

"You guys are finally here..."

"I didn't expect that the person who came here was you Ji Taro..."

"Huh?" "Frivolous man"—that is, Ji Taro raised his eyebrows, "'Finally'? Why did your sentence just now sound like you knew we would come to you?"

"And—you actually know me?"

Gua Sheng's eye sockets were slightly red at this moment.

"Do you still remember the Guasheng Dojo that you slaughtered 4 years ago?"

"Is it Guasheng Dojo?" After chewing the word in his mouth for a while, Ji Taro suddenly realized, "Oh! I remembered."

"I did take over this task four years ago."

"I still remember this task very clearly."

"At that time, the task I received was to rush to a sword gym called 'Guasheng Dojo' in the Kamakura area, and kill all the owner and his family."

"The reason why I remember this mission clearly is because I didn't completely succeed in that mission."

"When the body was counted afterwards, it was found that the 12-year-old daughter of the museum owner was missing."

"Because I couldn't find her no matter how hard I searched, the task was not successfully completed, and I was scolded by Lord Balrog."

Speaking of this, Ji Taro cast his eyes on Guasheng again, and looked up and down Guasheng.

"Guasheng Dojo... Guashengxiu... Are you a survivor of that night 4 years ago?"

Guasheng did not respond to Ji Taro's words.

It's just that the eye sockets have become redder.

He gripped the wooden knife tighter.

"...It seems to be true."

"I remember the owner's daughter, it should be called 'Gua Shenghui'."

"Did you change your name?"

"Forget it, such trivial matters don't matter."

Taro smiled happily.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to exist in this world."

"I was able to meet someone who missed killing four years ago."

"This trip is really right..."

Before Jitaro finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flashing in front of him.

Gua Sheng kicked his hind foot and rushed towards Ji Taro.

After Ji Taro entered his attack range, he stabbed with his sword.

Guasheng's sudden attack forced Ji Taro to take the initiative to cut off the conversation.

For other ordinary people, I am afraid that they would not even be able to react, and they would be defeated by Gua Sheng.

It's a pity - Gua Sheng's opponent is Ji Taro.

Ji Taro's expression didn't change, he just took a quick step to the side.

It's like measuring it in advance with a ruler.

Ji Taro's dodging distance is just enough to dodge the knife stabbed by Guasheng.

After dodging the stabbing knife from Guasheng, Ji Taro bent his knee and kicked Guasheng's calf at a dizzying speed.

"Well……!"

Guasheng let out a low cry of pain, quickly stepped back a few steps, and distanced himself from Ji Taro.

While staring at Kyutaro, from the corner of his eyes, he looked at the place that Kyutaro kicked just now.

"Don't worry!" Ji Taro shrugged, "I just pulled back, your leg is fine."

"Are you kidding me?!" Gua Sheng snarled at Ji Taro.

Ji Taro had every chance to injure Guasheng just now.

But he didn't do that.

Not only did he attack the calf, which was not a vital position, but he also withdrew his strength, which only made Guasheng feel pain, and did not break Guasheng's leg.

"I just don't want to kill you so quickly." Ji Taro smiled without a hint of warmth, "Meet someone who missed killing 4 years ago-it's rare to encounter such an interesting thing, I don't want to kill you so quickly .”

Listening to Ji Taro's almost humiliating speech, Gua Sheng clenched his teeth as hard as if he wanted to crush his own teeth.

Then he raised his knife again and charged towards Ji Taro.

Gua Sheng used all the sword skills she knew one by one.

The swordsmanship she uses is a set of swordsmanship suitable for women created by herself.

The stabbing technique is mainly powerful and easy to use all the strength of the whole body, which can well make up for the weakness that women are not as powerful as men.

But it's just to make up for it.

When facing a powerful man, this power difference is not so easy to make up for.

No matter how Guasheng attacks, Ji Taro can avoid Guasheng's attack with ease.

Kyutaro didn't draw his weapon.

He didn't even put on a fighting posture, and let his hands hang down naturally. He only kept dodging Gua Sheng's attack.

From time to time, he raised his legs, and with such strength that he would not seriously injure Gua Sheng, he attacked those parts of Gua Sheng's body that were not fatal even if they were injured.

Guasheng knew that Ji Taro was fighting her with a "playing" attitude.

But she couldn't do anything but mourn.

The "battlefield" was switched from the corridor to the hall.

After this one-sided battle continued for a while, Kyutaro yawned.

Then he raised his leg much faster than every attack just now, and kicked Gua Sheng's soft stomach hard.

Gua Sheng, whose facial features were directly twisted together due to pain, flew backwards for a few steps, and slammed into the wall behind him heavily.

This wall happened to be the wall with Ogata's portrait on it.

This wall happened to be replaced by a new portrait of Ogata.

Because this portrait was not long after it was pasted up, the glue is not sticking well.

After Guasheng hit the wall, the portrait was shaken off the wall due to the strong impact, and fell lightly to the ground.

After falling to the ground, Guasheng covered his stomach with one hand, and supported the ground with the other hand, propping up his upper body.

The taste of "iron" came out of his mouth.

The portrait of Ogata that fell from the wall happened to land beside Guasheng.

Guasheng turned his head and looked at Ogata's portrait.

Looking at the portrait of Ogata, Gua Sheng showed complex emotions on his face.

In this complex emotion, the dominant color is the color of firmness.

Guasheng stretched out his left hand, grabbed this portrait of Ogata, and hugged this portrait of Ogata to his chest as if caring for some fragile treasure.

"It's really meaningless to fight with women." Ji Taro curled his lips, "No matter how much you practice, it can't make up for the innate physical fitness gap."

"Tired of playing."

"If you are the daughter of the owner who escaped 4 years ago, then you are only 16 years old this year."

"Although you are considered an adult, you still look like a child."

"I'm not a last resort. I don't want to kill children and people who look like children. Killing them has no sense of accomplishment."

"Hey, you two."

Kyutaro turned his head to look at the two subordinates behind him.

"I'll leave this woman to you two to deal with."

"After killing her, chop off her head."

"Ketaro, let's go. The burning smell of the flames is coming... It smells bad. I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's go outside to get some air."

"Yes!" The young man holding a short gun and waiting beside him respectfully replied.

"Hey! Wait!" Guasheng snarled at Jitaro after standing up again, "Don't leave!"

"Don't go?" Ji Taro showed a sneering smile, "You can't even stop me, how can you dare to let me 'don't go'?"

After all, Ji Taro ignored Guasheng again, and led Keitaro towards the outside of the room.

Guasheng wants to chase after him.

But just now, the two ninjas ordered by Ji Taro to stay and deal with Guasheng surrounded him...

...

...

Ji Taro and Keitaro left Guasheng's house one after the other.

In order to avoid smelling the unpleasant smell of burning, Ji Taro and Keitaro walked all the way to a place some distance from Guasheng's home, and then stood on the roof of a house.

After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Ji Taro looked at the serious fire in the distance, and smiled at Keitaro beside him:

"Keitaro, it's been a long time since I've done such an interesting task. I can't get tired of watching the scene where the flames burn everything."

"Well, yes." Keitaro smiled.

"Huh? Keitaro, what's wrong with you? Why do you look depressed?"

Keitaro is Jitaro's old partner.

Almost 5 years ago, Ji Taro and Keitaro successfully completed a mission that was so dangerous that they almost killed them.

The two became acquainted at this task 5 years ago.

Because the two people's personalities are very compatible, and they have the experience of living and dying together, the two of them have always been inseparable.

Ji Taro has always regarded Keitaro as his best partner and friend.

Ji Taro even went to Yoshiwara to have fun, and he always took Keitaro with him.

When encountering any tasks, Ji Taro will try his best to take Keitaro with him.

Because of the deep friendship and the fact that they usually stay together, Keitaro felt that Keitaro seemed to be in a bad mood tonight.

"Master Jitaro, don't worry about me." Keitaro shook his head lightly, "I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, maybe I ate something wrong today."

"Oh? Then do you want to take a shit?"

"No. It's not the kind of stomachache that you want to poop, or simply feeling a little uncomfortable in your stomach."

"That's it..." Ji Taro patted Keitaro's shoulder vigorously, "Then after you return to Shiranui, you can drink some medicine."

After all, Kyutaro once again turned his gaze to the fire in the distance.

After watching the raging fire in the distance for a while, Ji Taro turned his gaze to the full moon above his head.

Tonight is a sunny day, or a full moon night.

Looking at the full moon above his head, Kyotaro raised his right hand.

Point the palm of your right hand at the full moon, and then slowly draw your palms together.

It looks like he wants to hold the moon in his hand.

"After tonight, my achievements will be even more dazzling..."

Kyutaro spoke softly to Keitaro beside him in an almost emotional tone.

"Continuing on like this, it is not impossible to replace Shuntaro and become the most promising person to take over the position of the next Balrog."

If there is anyone who is most likely to become the next Balrog right now, it is without a doubt Shuntaro.

Shuntaro is undoubtedly the strongest. Although he has always carried out every task with a careless attitude, no matter what the task is, Shuntaro can always complete it satisfactorily.

Strong strength coupled with excellent talent makes the call for "Shuntaro to be the next Balrog" the loudest.

Ji Taro has been dissatisfied with this.

Ji Taro is not a man without ideals.

His ideal is to become the next Balrog, the next person with the highest power in Shiranui.

He knows that he may spend his whole life, and it is impossible to surpass Shuntaro in personal strength.

In order to make up for this disadvantage of his own, Ji Taro will do his best in every task.

Demonstrated much greater talent than Shuntaro - this is the only place where Jitaro has a chance to surpass Shuntaro.

And these efforts of Ji Taro have finally paid off in recent years.

The voice of "Gekutaro taking over the position of Balrog" is getting louder and louder.

The power of "Gekutaro supporters" is almost rivaling that of "Shuntaro supporters".

clap clap...

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded around Kyutaro.

The 8 shinobi from Shiranui ran towards Ji Taro quickly.

When they came to the front and back of Ji Taro, the eight shinobi knelt down on one knee, and the leader reported loudly to Ji Taro:

"Master Jitaro, I finally found you, we have completed the task of setting fire!"

"Yeah." Ji Taro nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Tonight, in addition to Keitaro, Balrog also sent 2 Zhongnin and 10 Xianin to Jitaro to help Jitaro.

Kyutaro divides his men into two groups.

The group consists of the 8 ninjas who are responsible for setting fires and creating chaos.

The other route was led by Ji Taro himself, leading Keitaro and the two Chunin to take advantage of the chaos and go straight to Gua Sheng's house, obliterating Gua Sheng.

"Now wait for those two people to bring Guasheng's head over." Ji Taro said softly.

...

...

Guasheng could see that the two people in front of him were far from Ji Taro in terms of strength.

If it is in its prime and it is one-on-one, Gua Sheng should be able to win.

But now it is a one-on-two, and Guasheng has been injured by Ji Taro just now, so even though he has been fighting hard, he has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Under the joint attack of the two, Gua Sheng was kicked to the ground again.

Holding the ground with a wooden knife, he wanted to stand up again - but Gua Sheng found that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

——It's over...is it over...

A faint look of despair and unwillingness appeared on Gua Sheng's face.

Looking at Guasheng who was already looking desperate, the two Chunin began to whisper.

"Hey, this girl looks so cute, it's a pity to kill her like this, how about..."

"There's nothing 'worse', kill her quickly, so that you can return to Master Jitaro quickly."

"Ok……"

The Chunin who was persuaded, and the Chunin who insisted on killing Guasheng from the very beginning, held their ninja swords and walked towards Guasheng quickly...

...

Boom!

...

Guasheng had already closed her eyes, ready to meet the ninja knife who was about to chop off her head.

But when they were all ready, they suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from beside them.

Whether Gua Sheng or the two Chunin, they were all attracted by this strange noise.

Gua Sheng opened his eyes and followed the sound.

All I saw was a familiar figure, and there were pieces of paper windows all over the ground under the figure's feet.

"Mashima-kun?!"

Looking at this figure, a surprised cry came from Gua Sheng's throat.

...

...

After getting out of the fight with that guy due to the sudden intervention of the official, Ogata rushed towards Yoshihara at a speed that could be called "running wildly".

When approaching the Nippon Embankment, Ogao saw the soaring flames emanating from Yoshiwara.

Just at this time, the fire that broke out in Yoshihara filled Ogata's heart with an ominous premonition.

It made Ogata deeply realize that there might be someone really trying to harm Guasheng.

After approaching the gate of Yoshiwara, Obe saw the dense flow of people fleeing from Yoshiwara's gate and Sodemon towards the outside of Yoshiwara.

The dense flow of people blocked the gate of Yoshiwara tightly.

Through normal means, there is no way to enter Yoshiwara.

So Ogata could only find a place where no one was there, and then use Shiranui's stealth technique to climb over the tall wooden wall surrounding Yoshihara.

Ogata has never been like this, thankful that he has upgraded Shiranui's stealth to "intermediate level".

If it is "elementary" stealth, there is no way to climb over such a tall city wall.

Ogata went to Guasheng's home once, and he remembered where Guasheng's home was.

Because he had worked in Yoshihara for a period of time, Ogata also knew what shortcuts he could take.

After turning into Yoshihara, Ogata took shortcuts and arrived at Guasheng's home.

The shortcut that Ogata took led directly to the window of Gua Sheng's living room.

Because he didn't want to waste time walking slowly through the main entrance, Ogata chose to break through the window made of paper and wood, and directly broke into Guasheng's house.

As soon as he broke through the window and broke into Guasheng's home, Xu Bian saw Guasheng kneeling on the ground with bruises all over his body.

And two men in black standing in front of Guasheng.

Guasheng and the two men in black were located in the corridor connected to the living room, so Ogata could see Guasheng and others just after breaking through the window in the living room that happened to be opposite to the corridor.

"Mashima-kun?!"

Looking at Ogata who suddenly appeared, the shocked Guasheng couldn't help calling out Ogata's alias.

Ogata just wanted to say something to Guasheng.

The two men in black standing in front of Guasheng raised their knives and charged at Ogata.

Although it is not clear who this person is and why he appeared here, in order not to have any witnesses during the "Killing Gua Shengxiu", these two Chunin came to Ogata without any hesitation, intending to kill Ogata and silence him .

Maybe there are other ninjas from Shiranui around. If it drags on for too long, maybe other ninjas will come to reinforce them.

Ogata's trip was only to save Guasheng, not to have a head-on battle with the ninjas in Shiranui.

In order to take Guasheng out of this place as soon as possible, Ogata decided to use the fastest way to win when fighting against the enemy in this era.

Boom!

Boom!

Ogata took out Kasumi from his bosom, and shot each of the two Chunin in the chest.

The distance between these two ninjas and Ogata was already within walking distance.

With such a short distance, even someone like Ogata who has never practiced marksmanship can accurately hit the opponent's chest.

The bullet pierced the chests of the two Chunin.

The forward momentum of the two Chunin stopped instantly.

While clutching his chest, he fell down slowly with pain on his face...

...

...

Boom...

Boom...

The sound of two iron cannons firing came to Jitaro's ears.

"What happened?!"

Ji Taro, who was waiting for the two Chunin to bring Guasheng's head over, stared round his eyes, and looked towards the place where the two iron cannons fired.

There is the direction of Gua Sheng's home.

With an ominous premonition in his heart, Kokutaro led Keitaro and the eight shinin who had returned to their orders and rushed towards Guasheng's house.

As soon as he arrived at Guasheng's house, Ji Taro saw the two Chunin who had fallen to the ground and died.

Both were shot in the chest.

The chest is one of the vital points of a person. Without armor, being hit by a projectile from an iron cannon within a very short distance is basically a certain death.

Both of his subordinates died, but Gua Shengxiu was nowhere to be found.

"Bastard...!"

Kyutaro's face turned red with anger.

Thinking with his ass, he could guess what happened.

Someone must have come to rescue that Gua Shengxiu.

And in which direction they fled, it is completely unknown.

"...It's not over yet."

Kyutaro doesn't want tonight's mission to end in failure.

If tonight's mission fails, it will add an ugly sum to Kyutaro's achievements.

It will have an extremely adverse impact on his future competition for the position of the Balrog.

So, with a sullen face, Ji Taro took out a black ball from his arms...
