Chapter 35: Ape Flying, the Imperial Court (Third Update)
The moonlight is hazy, and the shadows of the trees not far away are swaying in the wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The corpses of the ronin lay on the ground, blood gurgling from their wounds, making the surroundings even more terrifying and eerie. In that kind of metaphysical world, maybe you can make a great ghost or something.
Harita took a break and hurriedly cleaned up the corpses of the enemy and recovered the crossbow arrows. Well, it's the legendary skill "Touching the Corpse". The harvest is worth rejoicing, and these guys who specialize in picking up corpses still have a little bit of money to spare.
Although most of the money should have been used by them to drink flower wine. The reason why the ronin are so poor is not entirely because of the problems of the times, and it is not easy for them to keep their money.
And now they are unemployed. Even the shoguns of the shogunate didn't want them anymore.
It's no wonder that later people took it as a joke when they talked about samurai. Even the sword is gone, and he dares to say that he is a samurai.
A few katanas were actually worth a bit of money, but Haruta didn't plan to carry these burdens, so she just took the better quality katana of the ronin leader as a backup.
It's okay to sell it at the worst.
The night was verdant, and after a fight, Harita, who had lost blood, only felt that her eyelids kept fighting, getting heavier and heavier.
"Eh, just find a place to rest. After leaving this dangerous battlefield, Harita went to another forest, leaned against a tree, laid out his clothes, lay down, and slept with his clothes.
The first day of torture.
What Harita doesn't know yet is that this is just the beginning of his hard life in the Gintama world.
.......
The next day, Hita was woken up.
"Imp, get up!" a loud voice rang out.
Haruma was chatting with her sister in a dream.,Suddenly I heard this voice.,The girl turned into a ghost directly.,Directly scared him awake.ć
"which stupid fork is disturbing my sleep?!Believe it or not, I cut you!" Haruma opened her eyes in a daze.
"Little ghost, didn't your mother tell you that it's dangerous outside now?"
Harita instantly realized that she was in the wild.
He jumped to his feet and habitually drew his sword.
Eh, where's my sword?!
Qing was too confused.
"Here, it's just a broken sword. Hmm, this one looks good. "Only then did Harita see clearly that the person who was speaking, an orangutan, no, an 'orangutan' uncle was talking.
Heaven?!
The other party didn't seem to be interested in his sword at all, but he commented on the ronin leader's sword.
"I didn't think you were a samurai. Uncle Orangutan muttered, throwing back Harita's tattered sword along with another katana.
"Hmph. Harita snorted and ignored him.
It's noisy in the morning, but it's going to hell!
The sun hasn't risen yet.
What's more, in the wild, put a guy with a strong vigilance, and it is very likely that he will be cut with a knife.
"Hey, little ghost, what are you doing here? I'll tell you, it's a battlefield over there! It's dangerous. Uncle Orangutan continued to talk to himself.
"You're so annoying!" Haruma gouged out her ears, looked impatient, turned around and took out the chocolate and ate it.
Why did you come across this kind of chatter early in the morning? He had already seen that this thing was not a celestial being, but just an ordinary 'orangutan' uncle. The hair is much thicker than that of the later director of the orangutan of the Shinsengumi.
"Eh, is this chocolate?!I've heard that the celestials are strongly recommending this food now!" Uncle 'Orangutan' drooled, a foot long.
Hey, uncle, your saliva is dripping on me.
Harita was speechless for a while, and reluctantly threw the chocolate to him. He could see that this uncle had no malicious intentions, otherwise he would have been killed while he was asleep.
The two of them had breakfast in the forest. Well, in general, it's a certain uncle who is eating rice. Especially that shameless look really made Qing Tai breathtaking.
The two settled breakfast and prepared to go.
"Little ghost, my name is Ape Fei, what's your name?" 'Orangutan', no, Uncle Ape Fei asked with a smile.
"Harita Sugimoto. Harita cleaned up and thrust the sword back into her waist.
"Then I'll call you Qingtai, don't you have a family?" asked Uncle Sarufei 'kindly'.
How do I feel that you are trying to abduct children? Didn't anyone tell you that this routine has been used rotten? People abduct children and at least take a lollipop or something, you were just eating my chocolate!!
Harita turned her head away from him.
Whoosh!
Several black shadows suddenly came out from all directions, the speed was extremely fast, Qingtai's heart tightened, and his right hand instantly put on the knife handle.
"Who?!"
Why do you use the word 'drill'? Because the way these people appear is so weird. Have you ever seen a human coming out of a hole in the ground? And these guys are all dressed in black and masked.
Sneaky.
Eh, wait. Uncle Ape Fei, Qingtai's eyes froze suddenly, why the hell are you also dressed in black?!
Haruta hurriedly jumped two steps away and was on guard.
It turns out you're in this group.
Damn, you must be the legendary human traffickers!
"Hey, Ape Fei, what do you have to do with this guy, hurry up. A man in black said in a sullen voice.
"People think this kid is funny. Why don't you take him back? Ape Fei said, touching the thick black hair on his head.
Harita: "........"
You don't look like good people.
"Say, what are your intentions?!" Haruma said coldly, the katana slightly unsheathed.
"Boy, since you sincerely asked, then I will tell you with great mercy, in order to prevent the destruction of the world, in order to protect the peace of the world, we are the ninjas who are used to love and true evil, cute and charming rebel characters, we are the ninjas who shuttle through Edo-Mitewa is like this! How is it, isn't it handsome?!" said the man in black at the head of the group arrogantly, and compared a posture of firing a shuriken. The others also hurriedly put on a very powerful look.
ććććććć
Why do you always encounter mental retardation lately? Harita was speechless for a while.
You've seen too much of this masked uncle, right?
Could it be that the mentally handicapped ninja of Gotebanban is a tradition? A series of pound signs appeared above Haruma's head.
"I don't want to go with you, I still have my own things to do, please don't disturb me!" Haruta relaxed slightly, but her hand was still on the knife.
"Hehe, then I can't help you!" The ninja led by him smiled lewdly, well, through the mask, Haruta felt the other party's extremely obscene aura.
I saw that the other party had his hands folded, and there was something between his fingers, glowing with cold light.
Whoosh!
With his movements, shuriken after shuriken were launched.
"Damn it!"
Haruta drew his sword sharply and stopped in front of him.
Bang
There was a clash of gold and iron, and several shurikens were knocked to the ground by Haruma.
Just as Haruta was about to draw his knife, he suddenly found that he couldn't move!
Force, force, it didn't work at all! Something seemed to be tying up his body. Following the white light of the sky, Haruta saw some transparent silk threads around her body. It's they tie themselves up!
"Qing Taijun, come with us obediently. You're going to be a good ninja!" Sarutobi's eyes lit up when he saw Haruta's skills. The others nodded secretly.
They don't care about Harita's swordsmanship, what they really value is Harita's reaction speed!
The obscene ninja led by the leader.,But it's one of the upper ninjas of the Imperial Court!
Among the various schools of ninja, there are strict hierarchies. The highest status ninja is called "Kamishinobi", commanding a faction or acting as the overlord of a side. There are many "middle ninjas" under him, and each middle ninja manages a small group of thirty or forty "lower ninjas". The middle ninja is responsible for conveying the orders of the upper ninja, reporting the situation of the lower ninja to the upper ninja, and playing the role of a bridge. Shimoshinobi is the lowest level of ninja and specializes in performing tasks.
Gotei is a ninja organization formed by the fusion of multiple ninja schools.,But a top ninja.,It's also an unimaginable master.ć
"No, I'm going to be a samurai man!" Haruma struggled, and Sarufei consciously stepped forward to hand over his sword.
As a result, Ape Fei's child abduction and trafficking plan was temporarily successful.
After a little treatment of the wound, Harita and the group of ninjas continued on their way.
It's okay to find an opportunity to escape, but the consequences of angering this group of ninjas can be severe.
Although the wound on the back is still aching, the bandaging methods of these ninjas are still worthy of recognition. In the future, if you lose your job, you can probably earn some living expenses by opening an emergency room.
Well, it's the same as the samurai, it is estimated that as soon as the war is over, the ninja will soon be unemployed.
The speed of the ninja's movements is terrifying, and their usual speed is actually comparable to the speed of Haruta when he sprints. Fortunately, worried about Harita's health, Sarutobi volunteered to carry him forward.
"Now I'm falling into a den of thieves... Haruma lay awkwardly on Ape Fei's back, with an uneasy look in her eyes.
Goteban, a type of secret agent, hides in the shogun, the daimyo castle or near his home, and is responsible for protection, vigilance, and investigation. It is composed of a group of people whose martial arts are stronger than other secret agents.
And in this world, the Imperial Court is made up of a group of terrifying ninjas!
Ninjas have a slightly lower status than samurai. Some ninjas are often destitute samurai. Because of his profession, ninjas are good at assassination, which is the opposite of the samurai's confrontation with the samurai, and because of the hostility of the samurai class.
In the original book, the abdomen is all hidden, and he is the later leader of the Imperial Court, but later he was unemployed, so he had to work everywhere, from the trust of the cult, the thug of the corrupt official to the takeaway brother of the PIZZA shop.
.........
It was a bumpy ride, and soon, we came to our destination.
Edo!
That is, Tokyo in the future. A huge city stretches in front of you, and the skyrocketing skyscrapers give Haruta the feeling of returning to the modern city.
Is it a celestial artifact?, Haruma muttered.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, which was probably in line with the habits of ninjas. Unlike the ninjas in "Naruto", no matter how powerful the Imperial Court is to be raised, they are just dogs raised by the general.
Hidden in the darkness, buried in the darkness.
This is the fate of ninjas.
Somewhere in Edo, a huge mansion with a door tightly closed.
Several ninjas climb over the wall.
Is it a mission? Qing Tai secretly said no, if these guys are here to carry out a mission, then the time and place are not right?
"Chief!" the ninjas leaned slightly in respect.
"Ape Fei, are you back?" a dry little old man sat under the eaves and smoked a cigarette.
Eh, you have to go over the wall when you go home?!
Encountering a group of mentally retarded people in broad daylight, Harita felt more and more that she had entered a den of thieves.
