Chapter 38: The Birthday of the Daimyo
First of all, let's talk about what a geisha is and what a kabuki is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the simplest terms, kabuki usually appears as stage performers, and the performers are all men, the singers do not dance, and the dancers do not sing; Geisha, on the other hand, appear as waiters and hosts at small banquets and tea ceremonies, and although they have their own specialities, they are usually able to sing, dance, and play musical instruments.
In other words, in the next room, there are male actors who are about to join us in the festival.
Only, why eavesdrop on our conversations?
Quietly used the clone technique to make the clone invisible to find out.
"Hey, Eight Women! Hear no, those guys seem to be ninjas. The big man who was lying on the wall said to the people on the side.
"Ninja? It's all children and women, no kidding! "The person known as the Eight Girls is really feminine and charming, no wonder he is engaged in this business.
"No, if it's a ninja from Konoha, you can't underestimate it." Said the man who looked and voiced very old.
"In short, everything is according to plan, and there is no room for error!" The one with a dignified face seems to be the leader.
He stayed for a while to see that the four of them did not reveal any information, so they had to go back.
"Well, it's time for the festival!" Sakura judged.
"You still need to say that, I know it too!" Ino was not convinced.
"Please, don't argue, let's carefully analyze the existing information." Hinata whispered dissuasion.
"The only piece of information is the timetable that Shinemon has given us."
I spread out my schedule on the floor for everyone to see.
"What the hell! Such a detailed map does not provide great convenience for the assassin! Ino muttered.
"That's right! We need to be more careful! Sakura agreed.
"Huh?" Ino looked at Sakura in disbelief, who smiled back.
"In terms of daily guards, the Daimyo Mansion should have made strict arrangements, and what we have to worry about is the hours when the previous Daimyo lost his protection during the celebration."
"Even so, there are too many accidents that can happen, and it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it!" Hinata sighed.
"Why don't we clean up those people now!" Ino rubbed his hands.
"No, I can't. In that case, it would ruin the birthday event and would not be in line with the purpose of the mission. Moreover, there is no evidence that they are bad people. ”
"Hey, what do you do? I don't have a clue at all! ”
"No, look—" Sakura pointed to the list of shows.
"In this section, the name of the show and the role each person will play are listed in detail, and in the Kabuki project, how long and Hachime appear as dance actors, and Gangi and Yukihashi are singers, and they are also responsible for accompaniment."
Everyone nodded.
"Teacher Yoyo, you should be able to describe the morphological characteristics of these people, right?" Sakura looked up at me and asked.
"Hmm!"
"If they want to play the role of kabuki well, only the dancers are free to move on stage, and the other two are in a fixed position on the side or off the stage. And we were arranged to serve wine during the banquet. Well, Ino and Yuyu-sensei are monitoring their movements in the second seat, and Hinata and I are accompanied by the daimyo before the lord. Once they make any moves, they can be controlled by the two of you in advance, and we will be responsible for defending the Daimyo, so that the mission will be much clearer. ”
"Wow! Sakura is worthy of being a middle ninja! Ino said admiringly.
"Ah, yes? Hee-hee. Sakura happily accepted her friend's compliment.
Since this arrangement was made, we continued to rehearse, and Sakura and the others simulated the process of drinking so that I could cope with the waka. This is not difficult for me, the so-called "familiar with 300 Tang poems, can not chant poems." "I came from a liberal arts background, not to mention that I can memorize 300 poems, there are always 100 poems, and it is not difficult to carry out orders in response to the situation.
After two days, there was no movement, and after several inquiries, the kabuki were also rehearsing normally, and it was really difficult to find any clues, but after all, the celebration was held as scheduled.
Sitting in the middle of the banquet, smiling lightly and swaying, faithfully playing his role, but in his heart he was calculating the time and route of Kabuki's appearance.
It was Gangi's turn to play.
The music starts and the show begins.
Unexpectedly, these four people are really orthodox Kabuki backgrounds, their body language is vivid and expressive, their singing is high-pitched and far-reaching, and the ethereal characteristics of the shamisen and the lightness of the shakuhachi are all vividly brought into play, even if you can't see the expressions, you can feel the excitement, gentleness, or frightening hearts of the people in the play, which makes people look at it intently. The plot developed to the end, how long did it take to swing the wooden knife and slash at the eight girls, but the eight girls raised the folding fan but did not block it, and finally fell to the ground.
The applause rang out, and the wonderful performance was recognized by everyone.
Except for a few of us.
The wooden knife...... Definitely quirky.
Looking at Hinata together, she nodded, and looked directly at Hinata with her white eyes.
This is the first time that Hinata can use white eyes without sealing, and Sakura and Ino are surprised.
Hinata's gaze fell on the wooden knife, and suddenly widened, and then moved to Hachime's folding fan, Gangi, and Yukihashi's musical instrument, and immediately withdrew her gaze and nodded to us surely.
At this time, Yu Yu and Hachime had already taken back the props on their bodies and walked towards the former daimyo to prepare for a toast.
Ino and I looked at each other and cast a spell at the same time.
"Mind Control (Heart-to-Heart Technique)!"
While we are at a standstill, we have entered the body of the two.
From the point of view of ordinary people, how long and eight girls continued to walk forward, and when they reached the side of the former daimyo, they knelt down respectfully and raised a toast.
Hinata and Sakura stood up, took the two glasses of wine for the daimyo respectively, and quietly brushed them on the two of them.
Let the long time and Yame return to the Kabuki seat, Ino and I took back control.
"Bastard! What's going on with you two? Ganmu scolded softly.
"They were just controlled." Xingqiao said softly.
"Yes, I did that involuntarily and lost my will. And, ah~"How long did I kick my legs.
"What is, what's going on? My body doesn't listen to me! ”
"My chakra is also ......"
It turned out that Sakura and Hinata had severed their nervous system and meridian system respectively, and had postponed their seizures until now with their superb control over Chakra.
"You guys, it's really not enough to succeed, more than enough to lose!"
"If we let those two children sit next to our former daimyo all the time, we won't be able to do it!" Xingqiao raised his flute.
Ganmu gave a signal.
At this time, someone stood up during the banquet and said, "It's really refreshing to watch such a show!" Presumably, the geisha who accept the invitation of the daimyo will also bring a pleasing performance! Why don't you just enjoy it? ”
Immediately, someone responded violently, and the former daimyo was also very interested in raising his hand to let us get up.
This is an obligation that a geisha must fulfill, and it will end up helplessly.
Fortunately, the training in the past few days has not been in vain, except for the inability to concentrate on the eyes, the four of them have cooperated perfectly. The combination of ninja and geisha identities makes our dancing postures both resolute and feminine, and no matter how difficult the movements, they are natural and graceful, winning applause.
Just as everyone was immersed in the artistic conception of the dance, Yukihashi stood up from the Kabuki banquet, picked up the shakuhachi, and pointed to the former daimyo on the main throne, "Let me cheer for a few of them." ”
I stepped aside and pulled out the flaming piccolo, "What's so embarrassing?" ”
The two put the flute to their mouths at the same time, and two completely different pieces of music sounded, one solemn and mournful, and the other was light and melodious.
Xingqiao looked at me, with a deep resentment in his eyes, but I smiled lightly, looked back, and smoked his anger.
At the end of the song, everyone, under our careful precautions, we finally didn't let Ganmu and the others find another chance to start.
After the celebration, the former daimyo instructed us to follow him back to the inner house.
"Thank you so much today! I didn't expect that the female ninja cultivated by Konoha would be so good, and her dancing skills were outstanding! ”
"Where, Daimyo, you've really won a prize! It's just that I don't know if I should ask if I should ask something-"
"How?"
"Excuse me, who prepares the props for Kabuki?"
"Huh? This, Shinemon, come over here! ”
The sliding door opened, and Shinemon entered.
"What do you command?"
"Why, these young ladies of Konoha want to know who is in charge of the Kabuki props?"
"Originally, I was in charge, but Fuchu-sama took over on purpose."
"Oh? What does she care about? ”
"Small, I don't know."
"Daimyo-sama, Shinemon-sama, maybe you haven't noticed, but there are real weapons hidden in the Kabuki props."
"Huh?"
"Yes. In the wooden knife, there is a short sword; Inside the folding fan and shakuhachi, there are a large number of thousands of copies; And the strings of the shamisen can be used as ninja tools in themselves! ”
"Huh?" Recalling everything that happened at the celebration, the two of them couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"How so! Shinemon! Go and get me Fuchu Hime! ”
"Yes!"
"So, Daimyo-sama, since this has happened, the defense of the prefecture has ...... these days."
"I see, I'll be careful. It's a ninja of Konoha yet! Looks like I'm underestimating you! ”
Successfully complete the mission and walk on the way back to Konoha.
"Those guys are too weak! This is the defeat! Ino teased.
"Not necessarily, it's just that if you don't have the certainty of a successful blow, you don't want to alarm the guards outside the hall, and there is no need to make a sacrifice in vain!"
"Hmm." For the first time, Sakura's words were not refuted.
"In this way, he is still a very smart child, why would he be stupid to annoy us?!" Ganmu's voice rang out.
As a singer, his voice is still very rich and bright, but it sounds so harsh at the moment.
"Destroying the task given by Lord Fuchu Ji is an unforgivable sin!" The handsome eight girls seem to have a special relationship with that "Fuchu Ji".
How long and the bridge also appeared behind us.
"Abominable women, you will pay for your actions!"
"Ten thousand fans in the wind!"
"Flute of Death!"
On the one hand, there are flying needles emitting from the constantly whirling fan bones, and on the other hand, the music controls the thousand books that are blown out of the tail of the flute, fluttering slowly, and flying towards us uncertainly.
"Guarding gossip; Sixty-four palms! "Hinata has been waiting for a long time, and under the observation of white eyes, she will accurately hit all the incoming Chiben with chakra.
"That's great! Hinata! Sakura and Ino were excited.
"Then the one who wields the knife will still be handed over to me! Ino is in charge of controlling the shamisen. After the Chibon rain, Sakura rushed out first.
"Well, judging from what Chakra has, he should be the leader of the four." Hinata explained. Of course, the hard bones are gnawed at the end.
Gangi quickly moved when he heard our conversation, but I froze in place, and Ino quickly took control.
Gently lowering Ino's body, Hinata and I both found our respective goals.
"I knew that I should have been a little heavier just now, so that you can only be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life!" Sakura solemnly put on her gloves.
"Although I really want to completely destroy your meridians, still, I hope that there will be room for maneuver." Hinata swings the starting hand of the Bagua palm.
"The only adult me, it's natural for me to fall for an old man like you......" Ignoring Xingqiao's resentful gaze, he clasped his hands together: "Wind Leaf Dance!" ”
Note: The shamisen is a three-stringed plucked instrument, and the shakuhachi is a five-hole recorder, both of which are traditional Japanese instruments.
