(About the reason why Shiranui is in such a miserable state... I can understand it. Thank you for your hard work.)

(Your name is Kikutaro, right? Shiranui has been destroyed now, are you interested in joining me?)

...

For no reason, Kikutaro recalled the words Toyotomi Nobuhide had said to him after he was destroyed in Shiranui and survived by being found by Toyotomi's people and brought to Toyotomi Nobuhide.

Recalling these words in the past, Kikutaro couldn't help letting out another silent sigh.

——Having such huge financial and human resources, but not enjoying them well, doing all the troublesome things... This kind of person is really incomprehensible.

——Well, but precisely because I can't understand this kind of person, I'm probably doomed to not have any great achievements in my life... Well, anyway, I don't care if I succeed or not.

If Kikutaro were to give himself a self-assessment and comment on his strengths, then Kikutaro would probably say: I only have one strength, and that is that I have no ambitions.

Kikutaro has always believed that: having no ambition is an advantage.

Because I have no ambitions, I can tolerate my own mediocrity, I can tolerate my mediocrity, and I can live a more relaxed and happy life than those ambitious people.

To live a life in a relaxed and ordinary way - this is the wish that Kikutaro has never changed since he was sensible.

After living an ordinary life in a mediocre way, it would be even better if I could find a wife who is a big bear and live together as a partner.

This small wish seems quite simple at first glance, but for a ninja like Kikutaro who was born in Shiranui... this kind of wish is simply an extravagant wish that he dare not even think about.

Kikutaro was originally an abandoned baby, who was picked up and returned to Shiranui, and then raised as a ninja since he was a child.

A ninja born in Shiranui, want to live a normal life?

This kind of thing, just saying it, is enough to make people laugh...

Kikutaro didn't have the courage to defect to Shiranui, so he could only obediently serve the Balrog in Shiranui.

And the turning point of things just happened in the fall of last year.

Ogata teamed up with Gourd House to attack Shiranui.

After being destroyed in Shiranui, Kikutaro, who was lucky enough to survive the attack of Ogata and Calabash House, first felt... the confusion about the future.

Kikutaro, who has learned Shiranui Ninjutsu since childhood, has no other talents except ninjutsu.

Now that Shiranui is gone, how will he make a living in the future?

But—in addition to feeling confused, Kikutaro felt a little... looking forward to the future.

Without the shackles of Shiranui, will I be able to live a more peaceful and comfortable life in the future?

It's a pity that before he had time to understand this confusion and expectation in detail, he was found by the people sent by Toyotomi to investigate "what happened in Shiranui", and he was caught in front of Toyotomi.

After telling Toyotomi what he knew about the "truth about the destruction of Shiranui", Toyotomi threw an olive branch to him and invited him to become a member of the Toyotomi clan.

At the beginning, when he received the olive branch from Toyotomi, Kikutaro wanted to refuse.

At that time, he didn't know that the young man in front of him was a direct descendant of the Toyotomi clan. In his eyes at that time, he saw them as a group of suspicious people with unknown origins and identities.

However—he dared not refuse.

His status at that time... To put it bluntly, he was Toyotomi's prisoner.

Whether it is life or death, it all depends on Toyotomi's thought.

Kikutaro was very worried that when he said "I refuse", Toyotomi would directly "clean up" him who did not want to be his subordinate.

Having been a ninja in Shiranui for so long, Kikutaro is used to all kinds of darkness.

Therefore, Kikutaro, who was worried that he would be "cleaned up" by Toyotomi, could only bite the bullet and nodded, expressing his willingness to do the same for Toyotomi.

After perishing in Shiranui together with Kikutaro, there are 18 "Hara Shiranui ninjas" who entered Toyotomi's command, including Kikutaro.

Among the 18 people, only Kikutaro has the highest status, and is the only Jonin among the 18 people. Therefore, he has become similar to a "representative of the Shiranui Remnant Party", and can represent Shiranui in certain meetings.

Although Kikutaro is a ninja, he is completely incompatible with a "ninjutsu master".

His talents are as ordinary as his aspirations.

Even though he received rigorous training since he was a child, Kikutaro's strength can only be described as "not outstanding".

In terms of strength, compared with other junin in Shiranui, it is completely at the bottom. Only the level of "Shiranui Stealth" can rank in the forefront of Shiranui.

The reason why he can become a Jonin is all due to his only outstanding "Shiranui-ryu stealth" and his slick character.

At first, Kikutaro mistakenly thought that Toyotomi might be the head of some smuggling group, because according to his discovery, Toyotomi's financial resources were quite astonishing.

It wasn't until later that Kikutaro knew that Toyotomi was not the leader of a smuggling group! He is the head of the 9th Toyotomi clan! He is running around to overthrow the Edo shogunate and rebuild the Toyotomi shogunate, accumulating strength.

Kikutaro's history and politics are not very good.

He didn't know whether it was feasible to overthrow the Edo Shogunate, which had ruled Japan for two hundred years.

He only knew that to accomplish this so-called "great cause", using the term "near death" should not be enough to describe it.

After knowing Toyotomi's true identity and Toyotomi's ambition, Kikutaro felt... timid.

He didn't want to follow Toyotomi to complete this so-called "big cause" of narrow escape.

And - Kikutaro has always had a very clear understanding of his identity in the Toyotomi Clan.

He is sure: in the eyes of Toyotomi, he is probably just a pawn that is completely insignificant and can be discarded without hesitation...

Just a pawn who is better than nothing.

They are just the remnants of the Shiranui that have been destroyed, and they have nothing. How could Toyotomi attach so much importance to them?

In Shiranui before, he had the status of Jonin anyway, and his status was prominent. Currently in the Toyotomi family, how high a salary and status can he, a remnant of Shiranui, have?

Follow Toyotomi to rebuild the world of Toyotomi...I'm afraid it will be discarded as consumables halfway.

So—Since then, Kikutaro has been thinking about ways to get rid of Toyotomi.

While pretending to be loyal to Toyotomi and wholeheartedly wanting to serve Toyotomi, he was secretly looking for a chance to escape.

Today, after being sent by Toyotomi to carry out the dirty work of "burning Koyasan", and knowing what "Edo War" Toyotomi is going to start, Kikutaro firmly believes that they are a bunch of insignificant consumables! If you continue to hang out with Toyotomi, it will be as dangerous as you want, and it will be many times more dangerous than when you stayed in Shiranui!

Toyotomi, who has firmly established the belief of "escape from Toyotomi", spares no effort to find an opportunity to escape.

Feng Shui turns - this sentence has always been the truth in the world.

I didn't think about it - just today when I was sent to carry out the swear word of "burning Mount Koya", the opportunity came quietly.

As soon as the ship bound for Edo set sail, it was attacked by Ogata and others who were chasing up.

The surprise attack by Ogata and others made the two ships directly enter the busy state of "highest combat readiness".

This allowed Kikutaro to see his long-awaited chance to escape.

The plan drawn up by Kikutaro is very simple: take advantage of the fact that everyone on the ship is busy fighting against Ogata and others and has no time to pay attention to him, sneak into the No. Hikimaru's confusion.

And he took advantage of the gap when Rihuimaru became more chaotic, jumped into the sea and absconded.

The ship is not far away from the land yet, although he is seasick, but the water quality is very good, even under such strong wind and raging waves, he can swim back to the shore with full confidence.

There are two ammunition depots on the Rihui pill: No. A ammunition depot and No. B ammunition depot.

The reason why he chose to detonate the latter instead of the former was because the ammunition stored in the latter was much less than that of No. A ammunition depot, and the security was relatively less strict.

His plan can be said to be implemented extremely smoothly.

Although his body was very uncomfortable due to seasickness, he still succeeded in sneaking into the No. In the library, the gunpowder in the No. B ammunition depot was detonated, which aggravated the chaos of Rihui Maru.

The chaos at Hikimaru has intensified as Kikutaro expected, and next, he should jump into the sea and escape for his life.

However, Kikutaro hesitated when he was about to jump into the sea when he came to the window that was big enough for him to get in and out.

And the reason for his hesitation is also very simple—greedy.

When entering the No. B ammunition depot, Kikutaro saw rows of flintlock guns with beautiful luster.

Kikutaro didn't think about taking anything from the boat when he jumped off the boat to escape from Hikimaru, he just wanted to escape quickly.

However, after leaving the No. B ammunition depot, the shadows of the rows of flintlock guns, like phantoms that cannot be shaken off, have been lingering in Kikutaro's mind.

In the end—these "shadows" turned into greed, and when Kikutaro was about to step into the sea, he stopped Kikutaro's movements.

Kikutaro, who used to be a member of Shiranui, has dealt with many people who run the black market.

Therefore, he knows what is the best seller in the black market.

Firearms, especially this kind of Western firearms, belonged to the sweet pastry in this kind of black market.

If he could steal a few muskets from Rihui Pills and sell them on the black market in the future... the money he earned would probably be enough for him to not have to worry about money for the next ten years ...

Food, houses, beauties... Kikutaro vaguely saw these beautiful things and waved to him.

People are like this, it is easy to get greedy, but difficult to get rid of it.

Under the coercion of this growing greed, Kikutaro withdrew his feet that were about to jump into the sea.

Yes, I have to think more about the future. If I run away "cleanly" like this, even if I succeed in escaping in the end, I will have a very difficult life after being penniless, and I still have to get money. Just run away with something valuable—— Kikutaro comforted and convinced himself.

When Kikutaro became greedy, Genichi and the others attacked Nichimaru at exactly the same moment, further exacerbating the chaos of Nichikimaru.

Seeing this, Kikutaro, who was tormented by greed and hesitated, finally gritted his teeth after thinking twice - he found a remote dark corner, hid in it, and watched the situation quietly.

Undecided, he set a multiple-choice question for himself:

If there is a tendency for order to gradually recover after Rihui Wan, they will immediately jump into the sea and abscond.

If Hikimaru is getting more and more confused due to the attack of Ogata and others... then go fishing in troubled waters! Steal a few flintlock guns before leaving!

So, he just kept waiting.

Been waiting until now.

Rihui Maru was hit by Gourd Maru, and almost all the crew members were busy repairing the big hole hit by Gourd Maru—this unexpected major accident, it can be said that Kikutaro was overjoyed.

The greed in my heart quickly swelled to its peak.

He didn't hesitate any longer——quickly dodged out of his hiding place, using the "Shiranui Sneak Technique" to head towards the location of the No. A ammunition depot at full speed!

The No. B ammunition depot has been destroyed. Kikutaro, who decided to steal the gun, can only choose the intact No. A ammunition depot.

Ammunition Depot A is roughly located in the middle of the Rihui Maru. Not only is it much larger in area than Ammunition Depot B, but it also stores overwhelmingly more ammunition than Ammunition Depot B.

Kikutaro once heard that if all the gunpowder in the No. A ammunition depot was detonated, most of the Nichiki pills would be destroyed directly.

At present, most of the crew of Rihuimaru are concentrating on the part damaged by Gourdmaru, and they are stepping up to repair the damaged ship, making Kikutaro's "trip to No. 1 ammunition depot" unimpeded.

Along the way, I hardly met a few people.

In a short while, Kikutaro arrived at the door of the No. A ammunition depot very smoothly.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, Kikutaro saw many guards guarding the door of the ammunition depot.

——Two, four, six... There are 6 guards in total... There are more guards than expected...

After carefully counting the number of guards in front of the library gate, Kikutaro frowned slightly.

Ogata, Genichi and others attacked first, and then Gourd Maru hit the hull. Rihui Maru is now in a mess, and the order is extremely chaotic.

There were even a small number of unsteady crew members who jumped ship and fled after witnessing the fall of Hulu Wan and the collision of Hulu Wan through Rihui Wan.

However—even though the order was out of order and she was so busy that she wanted to use her two feet at the same time, He Xufeng did not forget the defense work of the No. A ammunition depot.

Previously, when she learned that the No. B ammunition depot exploded suddenly, He Xufeng vaguely realized that it must be a man-made explosion.

With the lessons learned from the No. B ammunition depot, even though the current manpower has been stretched, He Xufeng still left 6 musketeers in charge of guarding the No. A ammunition depot, and beware of any suspicious persons approaching.

If possible, He Xufeng would like to keep a few more people in charge of the No. 1 ammunition depot, but it is really impossible to mobilize more manpower.

The No. A ammunition depot is being heavily guarded by soldiers - Kikutaro had expected this, so he was not too surprised when he saw six guards in front of the gate of the No. A ammunition depot.

In just a moment, Kikutaro thought of a countermeasure.

Kikutaro cleared his throat lightly, took a few deep breaths, and took out a set of clothes from his bosom.

For the convenience of management, but also for the sake of appearance, the uniforms of all crew members on Rihuimaru and Huluwan are uniform—the upper body is a brown kimono, and the lower body is a black hakama.

The suit that was being held by Kikutaro at this time was an important "hero" who helped him successfully detonate the No. B ammunition depot.

When Kikutaro was going to detonate the No. B ammunition depot, the Hiki Maru at that time was not as chaotic as it is now.

Therefore, in order to facilitate his own infiltration, Kikutaro managed to obtain a set of crew clothes, disguised as the crew of the ship, and then successfully sneaked into the No. B ammunition depot.

At this moment, this set of clothes once again ushered in a place of use.

Kikutaro quickly changed into the crew's clothes, squeezed out a look of anxiety on his face, then dodged out of his hiding place, and hurriedly rushed to the six soldiers in front of the No. A ammunition depot. name guard.

"Order! Order!" Kikutaro shouted.

As soon as the shouts fell, the six guards immediately turned their vigilant eyes to Kikutaro who was rushing towards them with solemn faces.

"Master Kasube sent me to deliver an order to you! The six of you hurried to the open deck to reinforce Master Toyotomi!"

Among the six guards, the head of a strong man with a birthmark raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt, "We are six?"

"Yes. The battle situation on the open deck is not optimistic." Kikutaro said seriously, "Master Ka Xufeng requests you to go to Lu immediately..."

Just listening to Kikutaro's words, just halfway through——

Whoosh! Whoosh!

2 piercing sounds resounded.

Kikutaro, who intentionally only spoke halfway through his words, suddenly touched his hands to his waist, grabbed a shuriken in each palm, and shot them in the air towards the guards in front of him!

The guards, who had been listening carefully to Kikutaro's order, were caught off guard by Kikutaro's surprise attack.

The two shurikens shot out directly pierced the throats of the two guards who were farthest from Kikutaro.

After killing 2 people in one breath, Kikutaro took out 2 shurikens from the back waist.

This time, Kikutaro didn't throw the shuriken again, but jumped at the guards who were still alive in front of him, held the shuriken upside down, and used the shuriken like a dagger.

The 4 surviving guards finally came to their senses and came back to their senses. While shouting "enemy attack", they raised their flintlock guns one after another and aimed at Kikutaro.

Kikutaro's strength is average-he is only weaker compared with the rest of the Jonin in Shiranui.

If compared with ordinary people... Kikutaro's strength is not something ordinary people can compete with.

I saw that Kikutaro lowered his body, clinging to the ground, dodged to the guard closest to him, swiped his right hand forward, and cut the man's throat with his shuriken, then turned back and cut the guard open The stomach, intestines and other organs dripped all over the ground.

Boom! Boom!

2 shots burst out.

The last two surviving musketeers finally had time to shoot, but the bullets they fired only hit the deck where Kikutaro was standing just now.

Kikutaro twisted his body like a snake, and dodged aside before the two men shot.

The reason why he disguised himself as a crew member and approached them just now was to deal with their muskets conveniently.

As long as the distance is shortened, it will be much easier to observe their shooting movements and directions, so as to dodge them conveniently, or to deal with the shooters.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Kikutaro threw two more shurikens.

With the sound of two dull sharp knives piercing into the flesh, there was finally no one around except Kikutarou who could stand still.

"Phew...fortunately...it went smoother than expected." Kikutaro's mouth curled up in a pleasant arc.

As soon as the corners of Kikutaro's mouth curled into a pleasant arc, a few traces of pain appeared in his eyebrows and eyes.

--Well……

He raised his hands and rubbed his temples on both sides.

He was dizzy as if his head hit the wall, and he thought to himself:

——I feel dizzy... I feel like vomiting again...

—Did the seasickness intensify again during the battle just now...

- Vomit... so uncomfortable... head buzzing...

Kikutaro took several deep breaths in one breath before feeling a little more comfortable in his body.

Afterwards, not daring to delay any longer, he quickly looked around to confirm that there were no other enemies around. Kikutaro carefully unscrewed the door of the ammunition depot, pulled out a gap big enough for him to enter and exit, and slipped in.

As soon as he entered the ammunition depot, the scene in the ammunition depot made Kikutaro open his eyes, and greedy rays of light burst out of his pupils.

Rows of flintlock guns are neatly arranged in the ammunition depot, which is quite spectacular.

——How much does it cost to buy so many Nanban iron cannons?

Kikutaro couldn't help feeling so emotional in his heart.

——If you sell all the Nanban iron cannons on this ship... Sigh... the wealth you get, I'm afraid it will exceed the annual financial income of some small feudal states...

—Forget it, it’s better not to have such unrealistic daydreams! Hurry up and take a few, and then get out of the way!

After suppressing these unrealistic fantasies in his mind, Kikutaro rushed to the rows of flintlock guns in three steps and two steps, and began to choose those iron cannons that were as new as possible and could be sold at a higher price.

--All right! Just take these 4 sticks!

Kikutaro carried the four carefully selected flintlock guns behind his back.

——I took too much, but I couldn’t carry it anymore.

A smile brimming with ecstasy filled Kikutaro's cheeks.

—— 4 Nanban iron cannons... At least 200 taels of gold can be exchanged in the black market.

——200 taels of gold... Hehe...haha...

Kikutaro smiled cheerfully in his heart.

In the eyes of Kikutaro at this time, these flintlock guns were not sharp weapons for killing people.

But a piece of gold.

It is a symbol of "bright future".

Putting the four flintlock guns behind his back, Kikutaro couldn't help dreaming about the beautiful days when he would hold a lot of money in the future.

——Hmm... I feel sick more and more... I feel dizzy and swollen even more...

——Okay, let's go now before my body becomes too uncomfortable...Huh? !

While Kikutaro was still imagining the future, unexpectedly—his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because at this moment...he suddenly heard—a slight strange noise came from behind him.

His expression suddenly changed, and he turned around quickly——

Boom!

It was like the sound of a bottle cork breaking open.

The pain that seemed to tear his whole body apart spread from Kikutaro's side to his whole body.

"Hmm...!" Kikutaro, whose face was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, hastily raised his hand to cover his...side that was continuously bleeding out with blood.

He glanced down at his belly with timid eyes: the belly with a hole in it only took a moment to dye his palm that was used to block the hole red.

"Hmm... The flintlock is really difficult to use. It can be missed at such a short distance. It was aimed at your chest just now, but it hit your stomach... Anyway, the shot just now should have been hit by you." It also smashed the viscera in your belly."

Kikutaro, whose face was covered with cold sweat due to the severe pain in his stomach, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the indifferent voice just now, looking at the... A figure in cassock.

"Xianyuan... the Venerable Master...?"

...

...

Nikkimaru, open deck——

"Drink!" Mucun held his big sword with one hand and swung it like a windmill.

With just one swing, 2 enemies were sent flying aside.

While swinging the knife with his right hand, his left hand was not idle either. He clenched his left hand into a fist, raised his fist as big as the mouth of a bowl, and swung it towards the other person beside him.

Mucun's strength is the greatest in the whole gourd house, except for Yuanyi.

As long as he is willing, his fists and toes can become sharp weapons for killing people.

The moment his fist touched the enemy's face, the enemy's originally three-dimensional face immediately became flat.

Immediately after Gamiya, after jumping to Hikimaru, he immediately followed Gamiya's deployment and split into two routes with Mamiya soldiers——Gamiya went to support Ogata, while he went to rescue the man who was under surveillance on the main mast. next Lynn.

At this moment, Mucun is fighting with the five enemies who are in charge of guarding Lin.

On the open deck, it was Ogata and the others who had an advantageous location, and the presence of rain made the most important weapon of Toyotomi's army: the flintlock completely useless.

In just a few breaths, Mucun made Lin's surroundings no longer see any enemies.

"My lord!" After finishing off the surrounding enemies, Mucun impatiently leaned over to support Lin's shoulders, shaking them slightly.

Lin was still in a coma, and her hands were still tightly clutching her two sabers.

A lot of scars can be seen on her body-these are all the injuries she suffered when fighting Toyotomi just now.

Although there were many injuries on his body, his breathing was steady and strong.

After confirming that Lin was fine, Mucun couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief because the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

While Mucun was rescuing Lin, Toyotomi not far away had been watching all this with cold eyes.

"Is Ogata Isai Tosai and Kinoshita Genichi's companion..." Toyotomi, with an extremely gloomy face, pulled out the crossbow arrow that Mamiya had shot deep into his right shoulder just now, "Is it really possible?" Appear when you choose..."

Mucun is rescuing Lin - it is naturally impossible for Toyotomi to remain indifferent to this matter.

But—he couldn't move to stop it either.

Ogata... is right in front of him now.

With Yugata present and Yugata staring at him, he couldn't have the energy to act rashly.

At this moment, Mucun has successfully rescued Lin, and Jiangong has also thrown away the crossbow that shoots the crossbow in the air, pulled out Vairocana, and rushed to Ogata's side quickly, and finished with Ogata. confluence.

"...Master Genichi. Did you hurt your internal organs?" As soon as he came to Ogata's side, Mamiya cast a serious look at Genichi who was being supported by Ogata, and looked at him The chest that was simply bandaged.

"The internal organs are not injured. Only a lot of blood has flowed." Now that he is obviously bruised, and he walked through the gate of hell just now, Yuan Yi still looks like an old urchin who doesn't know what troubles are, hehe smiled, Said witty words, "Afterwards, I have to work hard to drink more wine to replenish my blood."

For Mamiya and Mucun who arrived in time and helped him a lot, Ogata had a lot to say to them.

I want to thank them for their timely arrival.

I want to complain about their feat of driving calabash pills and directly crashing into them.

But at present, the battle with Toyotomi has not been completely determined, so Ogata has no time to gossip with Mamiya and the others.

"... Mamiya. You came just in time." Ogata, who had been fixed on Toyotomi and monitored all of Toyotomi's actions, said straightforwardly, "Mamiya, listen to me carefully."

"Master Yuan is seriously injured, and Miss Lin is in a coma. The two of them... especially Mr. Yuan urgently need to leave the battlefield immediately for treatment."

"Let the two of them stay here again... Regardless of the delay in treatment, maybe it will lead to something like 'Master Yuan being kidnapped' just now, happening again."

"So—you and Mucun, take Miss Lin and Master Yuan away from here now. Such a big battleship should have several small boats for escape."

"Leave?" There was a trace of surprise in Jiangong's brows and eyes, "...don't we need to stay and help out?"

Ogata smiled slightly: "Mamiya, you should have seen it too, right? The guy in front of us with a purple-handled sword is Toyotomi Nobuhide."

"Using this guy as an opponent...you can't increase your advantage by simply increasing the number of people."

"Too many people staying here...will only leave more opportunities for this guy to take hostages."

After all, Ogata put away the faint smile he showed just now, his expression returned to seriousness, he once again pulled out his great freedom, and re-arranged the posture of the selfless two-sword style.

"move."

"We'll see you later on the coast."
