Chapter One Hundred and One Ambush
Japan is an island country with hills and trees. The mountains could not be cultivated, and the forests belonged to the lords and could not be cut down, so at this time Japan was mostly dense mountain forests. The mountain forest that Matsugami Yoshimitsu entered was even more leafy, and the trees were verdant, and the human figure was almost invisible after going deep, and Chiyo Mochizuki chose this place to be more conducive to luring out the people who were tracking and hiding in secret.
Sure enough, the ninja Yoshihei saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu enter the dense forest alone and immediately fell into the scheme. Three of the eight shinobi of the Hyakchi family dragged Chiyome Mochizuki and the others, while the ninja Yoshihei personally led the remaining five ninjas to assassinate Matsugami Yoshimitsu. However, the ninja Yoshihei did not expect that their whereabouts had already been revealed, and an ambush and counter-ambush battle was quietly begining.
Deep in the mountains and forests.
At this time, it is late autumn, and the leaves in the mountains and forests are full of fallen leaves, and because there are not many people going deep on weekdays, and because of the dense forest, the thickness of the fallen leaves can even cover the ankles. Yoshimitsu Matsugami walked alone on the mountain ground full of fallen leaves and slowly walked deep into the forest, and it was a lot of fun to step on the fallen leaves and make a "squeak, squeak" sound.
However, at this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu could not appreciate the autumn fun here as much as the princess who used to enjoy autumn, and the more quiet and peaceful he was as a bait, the more frightened he became. At this time, the squeaking sound in my ears not only did not make people happy, but added to the heart, if it were not for the purpose of attracting the person who was tracking, Matsugami Yoshimitsu would not have been able to stay for half a moment. In this way, Matsugami Yoshimitsu seemed to be casual but in fact he slowly walked into the mountains and forests in fear, but when he realized that he was almost gone, he stopped and pretended to pee.
At this time, the ninja Yoshihei also followed with several warriors of the Hyakchi family, and this place was hidden and Matsugami Yoshimitsu obviously had no time to take care of it, which was the perfect time for assassination. A hiding place for ninjas in the mountains and forests. Ninja Yoshihei saw that the time was ripe and secretly glanced at a few war ninjas, who were all elite ninjas and naturally understood and would rush out immediately. Either carelessly or indifferently they stepped on the leaves and made a sound, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu who was facing away from them didn't seem to notice.
Seeing this, these hundred warriors immediately pulled out their katana and slashed at Matsugami Yoshimitsu, but just as they were about to slash Matsugami Yoshimitsu, he suddenly took off his coat and threw it backwards. Coincidentally, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's cloak was quietly thrown on the heads of these warriors, and their attack was immediately blocked. It turned out that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had already discovered them just now, and he had not had a seizure and was just waiting for the opportunity.
Sure enough, the kimono that Matsugami Yoshimitsu unexpectedly threw out temporarily blocked their view. Between the lightning and flint, Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't look back, but a rolling gourd, and these warriors distanced themselves, stood up, and pulled out the katana he carried for defense before he said. "Who are you? Who sent you to assassinate the main temple? If you retreat now, the temple will give you double the reward. Otherwise, as long as the main hall does not die today, no matter where you flee in the future, this temple will not let you go. ”
Until now, Matsugami Yoshimitsu thought that these ninjas were bribed by their enemies to assassinate themselves, after all, this kind of thing has happened before, and ninjas will not assassinate others for no reason. But he would never have imagined that these ninjas would come to assassinate him spontaneously, just because he was in the way of the Hyakchichi family seizing the Mochizuki family's ninjutsu inheritance. Matsugami Yoshimitsu was too naïve, how could these Baidi family warriors who came to assassinate Matsugami Yoshimitsu on their own orders be easily bribed.
"Heavenly punishment." In response to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's promises and threats, they looked at him with mocking eyes and rushed over. One of the ninjas at the head threw a large handful of ninja darts at Matsugami Yoshimitsu, this ninja has some status, he just finished throwing ninja darts, and several other ninjas followed suit, and for a while, countless sharp ninja darts were scattered on Matsugami Yoshimitsu like heavy rain.
If he faced such a scene in the past, Matsugami Yoshimitsu would have been a little frightened, but now that he has been deciphered by the decryption of ninjutsu by Chiyo Mochizuki, although he is shocked by the wonder of ninjutsu, he no longer has the slightest fear. I saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu dodging left and right, and holding a katana in his hand was even more up and down. After a rain of ninja darts, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was unscathed, only cutting a few clothes, so after that, he was even more bold in his heart, but those ninjas had already rushed forward at this time.
"Despicable, since you use hidden weapons, don't blame this hall. Look at the hidden weapon. Matsugami had expected this, and while confusing the ninjas with his words, he secretly kicked the leaves all over the ground at them.
"Ah~~~" The ninjas were terrified when they saw the leaves flying in the sky, and they really thought it was a hidden weapon, and they used their katana to block and take care of themselves. Of course, Matsugami Yoshimitsu would not let go of such a good opportunity, he quickly rushed to the front of the ninjas and swung his knife several times, split the ninjas' interception of him, and ran out of the mountains and forests.
"Hurry up, don't let go of Matsugami Yoshimitsu." The ninja Yoshihei dodged in embarrassment, and when he found that it was only the leaves that had fallen on him, he was immediately annoyed.
"Haha." Several other Hyakji Shinobi were also resentful, and soon they were led by ninja Yoshipei to chase after Matsugami Yoshimitsu who had fled for his life. ......
On the other side, although the three Hyakji ninjas succeeded in seducing Chiyo Mochizuki with their idea. However, Chiyo Mochizuki was no ordinary ninja, and within a few rounds, the three ninjas were knocked to the ground. Except for the ninja named Hachisuke in the lead, the other two ninjas were quickly killed.
"Say, which ninja are you? Who sent you? Chiyo Mochizuki asked while holding Ninja Hachisuke's collar after dealing with the other ninjas.
However, this group of ninjas was obviously highly trained, and the ninja named Hachisuke smiled sarcastically at Chiyo Mochizuki's questioning and died of poison.
"Looks like this isn't your average ninja." Nakashinobu Matayoshi opened the mouth of the ninja Hachisuke and looked at it, and sure enough, he found traces of hidden poison pills.
"Hey~~~ It seems that the enemy is not good. Such ninjas are ...... Oh no, Your Highness Yoshimitsu, come with me to save His Highness Yoshimitsu. At this time, Chiyo Mochizuki suddenly thought of Matsugami Yoshimitsu who was acting as a bait, and her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly rushed to the depths of the mountains and forests with Nakanobu Youyoshi. ......
"Shh~~~shh~~~." At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was gasping deeply, and there were three or four ninjas surrounding him in a zigzag shape. The strength of this ninja's feet was really extraordinary, and it didn't take long for Rao Matsugami Yoshimitsu to run for his life before they chased after him. Surrounded by Matsukami, Yoshimitsu Matsugami looked cautiously around while confronting the group of ninjas with a sword, but to his disappointment, Chiyo Mochizuki and Nakashinobu Matayoshi never appeared.
"This is a problem." Matsugami Yoshimitsu couldn't help but think bitterly in his heart.
