Chapter Seventy-One: The Mystery of the Ninja

Ninja, an ancient and mysterious profession, has always survived in the public imagination as an image that came and went without a trace.

There have been such descriptions in various TV and movie programs, a ninja secretly assassinated a person in the night, he came with the night, turned into a ghostly air, floated to the side of the murdered, suddenly shot, killed with a knife, and then in the chase of everyone, a thunder sound disappeared into the smoke, making people unpredictable and difficult to trace.

Oninomaru is a true ninja, he has been a ninja since he was born, his ancestors have lived in the largest ninja family in Fuso for generations, from the moment he was born, his life's mission is to be in the company of darkness, to kill people for a living.

In fact, the real ninja is not just a killer as described on the TV show, and there are some other factors that make Oninomaru become Matsumoto's right-hand man today.

Because of his great ninjutsu, he started spying for Matsumoto very early, spying on the secrets between Matsumoto's many political enemies, and whether there was anything dangerous to him.

But the Oni no Maru is a rare killing weapon, like a peerless divine weapon, for Matsumoto to drive.

Under Oninomaru's men, there is also a feared ninja escort team that only exists in legends, and they are dedicated to protecting Matsumoto's safety in the shadows and taking charge of the most dangerous murder missions.

For decades, he has never missed a beating, and it is also an important bargaining chip for him to occupy the throne for a long time in the fierce political arena.

The real ninja is always hidden among the public, only the identity of Oni no Maru, everyone knows that he is a ninja, but where the rest of the people are, no one knows, it may be a pedestrian on the side of the road, or it may be a killer in the Black Dragon Society, or more likely an uncle sweeping the floor on the side of the road.

Ninjas disguise themselves as various social figures or characters from all walks of life to blend in with the general population as a disguise for their identity, and only when they need him again will he change into his black night suit and become a ghost in the darkness.

The precepts of ninjas are also very strict, and a true ninja cannot leave this profession and must be loyal to his master until the last moment of his life.

Ninja rules are not allowed to abuse ninjutsu, can only be used when acting, to give up a qiē self-esteem, to save life is the most important, must be tight-lipped, even if caught, bite off the tongue or swallow poison to commit suicide can not reveal secrets, let alone reveal their identity as a ninja.

The most important thing is to finally be their own master for the rest of their lives, so every ninja sees Matsumoto as a carrier of a nobler existence than their own life, without Matsumoto, they are nothing, and Matsumoto must be protected.

Oninomaru is a very amazing ninja.,In the level of ninjas,,It already includes the two highest levels.,Upper ninja and middle ninja,Set the overall combat steps of planning,And the actual command in one.,His own ninjutsu is also extraordinary.,It's the object of worship of all the ninjas under him.。

In fact, the real ninjutsu still comes from our vast Celestial Empire, the little devil just learned it in the Tang Dynasty according to the gourd painting scoop, it was originally a kind of self-defense technique for Taoist priests when they were practicing, also known as hidden arts, Taoism called the Five Elements Escape Technique, a kind of self-defense escape technique that was widely spread in the era of the gods.

After the little devil obtained the law decision, he brought it back to Fusang, and blended it with Fusang's karate, judo, Shaolin kung fu of the Celestial Empire, and various martial arts to slowly form today's ninjutsu. Like the Taoism of our Celestial Empire, he is also divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five elements also correspond to different ninjutsu.

Ninjutsu is a complete set of espionage and intelligence technology systems mastered by ancient Fuso ninjas.

It includes: tracking, reconnaissance, espionage, bodyguards, assassination and other aspects.

Ninja skills are superhuman, and he is good at using various weapons such as swords and hooks, as well as hidden weapons such as darts; They can fly over walls, and run on the sand without making a sound;

Breath holding in the water for up to five minutes, such as a day and a night underwater with special equipment; They are adept at fighting on the surface and underwater, and can even dive to the bottom of the boat to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people on board...... These kinds of superhuman skills can only be learned through inhuman training.

Ninjutsu training requirements must start from a young age, all ninja family members, regardless of gender, old and young, must unconditionally inherit this family professional tradition, in terms of ninjutsu training content, its basic training mainly includes balance, agility, strength, durability and special skills five aspects.

Including agility training, balance training, endurance training, strength training, special skills training, and the extremely high mortality rate of inhuman practice, the ninja has achieved a superhuman leap from the spirit to the body. Gained perseverance, endurance, and combat effectiveness beyond ordinary people. The ninjas who survived through the training of ninjutsu are all absolutely reliable full-power fighters.

Ninjutsu martial arts require ninjas to have a first-class level in swordsmanship, archery, equestrianism, jiu-jitsu, foot skills, body balance, poison darts, etc. But the most demanding martial art is the famous stealth and escape technique.

Stealth technique,In fact, there is no real stealth technique.,It's just trained to be extremely sensitive to the hands and feet.,The ability to jump and run is very strong.,Before people find him.,The ninja is gone.。

This is known as the eaves and walls in the words of the Celestial Empire, and it is actually practiced by long-term jumping, grasping, climbing, and surpassing kung fu. Because of the mysterious actions and hidden whereabouts of ninjutsu masters, people also call ninjutsu "ghost arts" and "invisible arts". In addition to flying stealth, issuing hidden weapons is also one of the best ninjutsu martial arts.

Ninjutsu hidden weapons are mostly poison darts and copper coins, as well as swords and chisels. There are many applications of ninjutsu hidden weapons, and throwing copper coins with quenching poison is the unique skill of every ninjutsu master.

Together with "Flying Technique" and "Darkener", it is also known as the "Three Uniques of Ninjutsu" and "Poison and Detoxification". All ninjutsu masters are proficient in this way.

It is reported that the poisons used in ninjutsu are extracted from minerals, animals and plants, and are powerful enough to kill people; A small dose is enough to make a person drowsy, paralyzed, or temporarily insane.

Ninjutsu poisoning methods are many and secretive, daggers, darts and arrows are dipped in poison for assassination; adulteration of food or drink with poison for murder; Use of various toxic substances such as poisonous flowers, etc. The general antidote to ninjutsu is made of herbs and medicinal wine, but in the development of ninja society, their terrorist activities have been condemned by the world, and the government explicitly prohibits the appearance of ninjas and ninjutsu, but the strength of ninjas is too strong, and it is a top-secret weapon to defend their strength, so big politicians like Matsumoto still secretly retain and train so many ninjas to consolidate their position between Fuso and their families and gangs.

At this moment, Oninomaru is stroking his saber, he hasn't used it for a long time, but he often wipes it, and the blade has always been as bright as new, and the light can be seen.

The wine was sprinkled on the blade, wiped with a clean white cloth, and the cold light immediately shot out, this ninja knife is a treasure handed down by a famous ninja in the history of the ancestors, it is said that over the years, it has drunk the blood of thousands of people, and it is a real magic knife that is not born in the world.

The knife is sharp, and it breaks when it is blown.

Imagining the glory of many seniors on this sword, Oninomaru, who was sitting cross-legged, had to be strongly excited.

He practiced ninjutsu since he was a child, endured the pain that ordinary people could not bear for several lifetimes, and finally achieved what he is today.

At such a dangerous time, Matsumoto still entrusted himself with the most important task, how could he not be proud.

Among the four bodyguards, he and Sasaki are very low-key, Sasaki cultivates qi and heart, but he has to maintain his tacit understanding with the darkness all the time.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared behind him, kneeling down in front of Oninomaru's back, "My lord, Ishikawa has already found the comer, and soon they will arrive." ”

Onimaru didn't even raise his head, he just waved his hand back and said he understood, and the ghost turned into a wisp of air and disappeared into the darkness out of thin air.

Oninomaru thought for a moment, looking at the wooden walls around him, he had a faint bad omen, today's battle may be related to his life, and he even has a premonition that he will die here today.

This feeling is extremely bad, especially before the big war is about to begin, and Oninomaru, who believes in ninjutsu, is a little worried that this will be a sign of something to come.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up in his hand, hung the weapons on the ground one by one on his body, and involuntarily put a few more shuriken on his body, maybe it was just a comfort in his heart He knew that in a real battle, a qiē weapon and skill are useless, and what can really win the victory is confidence, but he believes that with his strange skills as a ninja, he will definitely be able to win this victory and solve the big trouble for His Excellency Matsumoto, this kind of thing has been encountered too much over the years, This is just one of them. He stood up and was about to walk out, when he glanced back and saw a painting hanging in the dark on the wall, it was Ishikawa Goemon, an Iga ninja.

He once infiltrated Osaka Castle as a subordinate of Momochi Santaifu to assassinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but unfortunately he accidentally touched the object and was found at the end, and was finally executed. But he has always been one of the most admired idols among ninjas.

Oninomaru silently prayed to the portrait of Ishikawa Goemon, then turned around and disappeared into the endless darkness without looking back.

In the distance, Nighthawk and their car had approached the villa after more than an hour of driving, Nighthawk asked to pull over, and everyone got out of the car and prepared to approach the villa on foot, not allowing the other party to notice their arrival at such a distance, didn't that give Matsumoto a chance to escape.

After counting the number of people, Nighthawk asked everyone to check the weapon again, to make sure that the performance was good, and then don't get stuck. This time, Shimada provided all the AK47s and Sand Eagle pistols that were circulating in the market, and each person also brought two extra sabers for hand-to-hand combat.

Nighthawk looked at it in the direction of the villa, the lights were brilliant, the whole house was shining like a star embedded in the ground, and a smile appeared at the corner of Nighthawk's mouth, "Sure enough, it's here." He waved his hand behind him and "go".
