- D. Calisi (famous Italian screenwriter)
Ninjas, as a special existence unique to the Yamato Empire, have more flexible combat skills than samurai, but they do not have the same esteemed status as samurai, so ninjas are generally made of penance by the commoners of the Yamato Empire, and few people from samurai families are willing to go to ascetic ninjas.
On the one hand, the status of the samurai is much stronger than that of the ninja, and the pursuit of power and position is the nature of the samurai, so how can there be a samurai who abandon his roots to practice ninjas? On the other hand, the cultivation of ninjas is much more difficult than that of samurai, and it is difficult for the vast majority of people to achieve achievements.
The samurai ranks of the Yamato Empire were divided into trainee samurai, low-level samurai, intermediate-level samurai, high-level samurai, special samurai, and sword master;
The cultivation of a samurai is very similar to that of a swordsman, relying on hard work in the early stage and talent in the later stage, and talent is always more important than hard work.
There is a very famous saying on earth: genius is made by ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent talent. Many ordinary people use this sentence as their motto to work hard, but they don't know that this sentence is not a complete sentence, but only the first half of the original sentence.
The original saying goes like this: genius is made by 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent talent, but often that 1 percent talent is more important than 99 percent perspiration. This is the real truth, the words that hit the self-confidence of the hard-working.
Even on the earth where there is no special ability, people have the consciousness that talent is more important than hard work, let alone a different world where they can strengthen themselves through cultivation; in such a time when the law of the jungle is the strongest, talent is always more important than hard work.
Of course, a person who can stand at the top of an era must be a person with both talent and hard work; extraordinary talent, coupled with hard work, can create a real strong man and achieve a myth belonging to an era!
Hattori Hanzo of the Hattori family is a man who is both talented and hardworking, and he was born in the Hattori family, a samurai of the era, but he did not like to advance on the path of samurai, and chose a more difficult path of ninja.
At a time when everyone didn't see the future of ninjas, Hattori Hanzo saw the great practical value of ninjas on the battlefield, so he resolutely gave up his samurai path and turned around and embarked on the path of ninja cultivation.
If Convincing Hanzo's choice was based on his own judgment, then his father, Hattori Yasuko, supported him as a representative of enlightenment, and how many samurai in the Yamato Empire had the status of Hattori Yasushi and could support his eldest son to train as a ninja?
Hattori Yasuki is not an ordinary samurai, he is the elder of the Tsugaru family with the strength of a special samurai, and the Hattori family is also a samurai family, and the fact that he can respect his eldest son's choice with such a family background says something in itself.
As it turned out, Hattori Hanzo's choice was not wrong, and his talent for ninja training was also jaw-dropping, and in just a few years, he went from a trainee ninja penance to one of the few shinobi in the entire Iga, thus gaining the approval of Iga-ryu.
Iga Ryu is one of the strongest ninja schools in the Yamato Empire, and its master is the most powerful of the three heavenly ninjas in the Yamato Empire.
The two sword saints and the three heavenly ninjas, these are the top five powerhouses of the Yamato Empire, as for whether there are other forces with hidden powerhouses of this level, it is not something that ordinary people can know;
Iga-ryu, who has the tennin-seat in charge, has naturally become one of the most powerful ninja schools in the Yamato Empire, but even with the strength of Iga-ryu, the number of special ninjas is only a hand, and the specific number of special ninjas is not known to outsiders.
As the upper ninja second only to the special ninja, it actually belongs to the high-end combat power of Iga Stream, especially the young Hattori Hanzo, he is the object of personal attention of the Lord of Iga Stream, although he is the youngest and most talented upper ninja of Iga Stream?
If it weren't for the favor of Lord Iga-ryu, Hattori Hanzo would not have returned with more than 100 Iga-ryu ninjas when he returned to his family, and those ninjas were all responsible for protecting Hattori Hanzo, and belonged to the personal guard that Hattori Hanzo had gifted to Hattori Hanzo by Lord Iga-ryu.
Hattori Yasu's idea was simple, that is, to use the ninjas of Iga-ryu to infiltrate the wild border dungeon at night, and then attack and kill the super archers from inside the city and open the city gates.
I have to admit that Hattori's plan was indeed half successful, and the complete victory over three consecutive days did make Izumiyama Koyasu have a light enemy mentality against the Tsugaru family's army, and the patrol intensity of the wild border dungeon at night became more and more lax.
At this time, if Hattori Hanzo really rushed to the wild dungeon with the ninjas of Iga-ryu, it may not be impossible to attack the wild dungeon at night, but unfortunately, the existence of the shadow killer made all the deployments of Hattori Kangcheng fall through.
In fact, at the same time that Hattori Yasushi and Ogasawara Nobukishi led their troops to the border dungeon, the shadow killer force led by Ivan also officially began their hijacking plan, and fifteen shadow killers, under the command of Ivan, successfully infiltrated the mansion of Nangang Xianfan.
It is said that it is the residence of Nangang Xianfan, but in fact it is the cage where Tsugaru Weixin put Langoka Xianfan under house arrest; this seemingly luxurious mansion is guarded day and night by more than 100 elite ashigaru members of the Tsugaru family, and Nanaoka Xianfan, who lives in it, does not even have the opportunity to go out.
However, the mere guards of the hundred-ashigaru were nothing for the shadow killers who were proficient in assassination and stealth, and they easily broke through these ashigaru defenses and entered Nanoka Xianfan's bedroom without alerting anyone.
After he entered the bedroom, he didn't talk nonsense with Langgang Xianfan, he directly identified himself, and threw out the cooperation conditions proposed by the Yanhuang family, and let Langgang Xianfan choose the rest.
Langgang Xianfan is not a fool, since the people of the Yanhuang family can quietly sneak into the heavily guarded Ishikawa Castle, and even come to his bedroom, it is enough to prove the strength of the Yanhuang family, so he decisively chose to surrender to the Yanhuang family.
Accustomed to being in charge of one side, Langgang Xianfan has had enough of being under house arrest by the Tsugaru family; in his opinion, even if the Yanhuang family only uses himself, his situation cannot be worse than in the Tsugaru family, and it is better to fight to the death than to be under house arrest!
With Nanaoka's cooperation, the next thing went much smoother, Ivan easily took Nanaoka Xianfan out of Ishikawa Castle secretly, and then joined the shadow killers outside the city, and rushed all the way to the Langoka Imperial Palace in the distance.
