Kenjiro will never forget that thunderstorm night, and the roar of thunder and lightning echoed in his ears.

The man with a scythe and a gas mask stood high in front of him, looking down into their eyes.

Cold, disdainful, and unforgiving.

Most of them, about thirty of them, died that night, some were killed under poison gas, and some had their heads cut off and hung on the flagpole in front of the gates of the Land of Rain.

That battle made Kenjiro and his gang lose their courage, and they also gave birth to a strong hatred for Hanzo, but at the same time, they were also deeply afraid of that man.

It's really like a god, standing in the air and looking down at them, that kind of look in his eyes, he will never forget it in his life.

He wanted to avenge his brothers, but he couldn't, and he even trembled just by remembering the man's face.

The man named Hanzo, in that battle, crushed their courage and became their shadow.

That night, he swore that no matter who it was, no matter what kind of man it was, as long as he could defeat Hanzo, kill Hanzo, and avenge his brothers, he would give everything he had to thank each other.

Wandering ninjas are also people, compared to those who have security in the ninja village, they are more lonely, have no support, and survive in the wild, and only they can rely on themselves.

Occasionally, you can get money by escorting some squires and tyrants in the neighborhood, or make a cameo appearance as a robber to rob some weak guys.

For a long time, everyone in the group was a brother. Kenjiro doesn't know how the other wandering ninja gangs get along, but everyone here treats each one as family.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, they are demons who kill people without blinking. But in his opinion, it's all just about survival.

"That man defeated Hanzo, Kenjiro, what are we going to do?"

Soon, a ninja asked loudly, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"What to do? Do you still need to ask? Have you forgotten the promise you made that night? ”

"Those dead brothers are watching us."

Kenjiro gritted his teeth.

"Really, do you really want to serve him as Lord?"

Someone muttered, his expression confused and hesitant.

The promise they made was true, but suddenly they lost their freedom and went to serve another man, which they couldn't accept for a while.

"There is nothing to hesitate about, living in this world like a maggot, I can't find the meaning of my own existence!"

"If you can lose your life for someone or something, it may be a relief."

With the rebellion of the land country, he said in a deep voice.

Every wanderer has his own story, but living in this troubled world does not necessarily find the meaning of his existence.

Close relatives? Country? For them, that was a thing of the past.

The only thing that can be lost in this body is this life that doesn't weigh much on the scale.

"Earth Dragon is right, there's nothing to hesitate about."

"Serve him as the master, on the condition of killing Hanzo!"

"I don't think there's anything to hesitate about, avenging our dead brother is our promise."

"Don't forget, how we got out of the Land of Rain."

Kenjiro said loudly, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Then it's decided!"

The earth dragon took off the rebellious forehead guard on his forehead, and gently stroked it with the thumb of his right hand, his expression seemed to carry memories.

I vaguely remember that year I was still a shinobi of the land country, and I went to the battlefield at a young age, fighting to the death for the honor of the village and for the ethereal faith.

But one day everything changed, and he became a traitor, living a confused and numb life.

People, if you live with faith, maybe life will become more meaningful. In this day and age, sometimes even having faith is a luxury.

Those who hung on the trees and rested against the stones all stood up straight, their clothes ragged and their faces covered with mud, but at this moment, their eyes flashed brightly.

Seeing the expressions of everyone in front of him, Kenjiro laughed: "Then let's go!" ”

"Being able to defeat Hanzo's existence, such a strong person is worth following!"

Among the trees, in a sound of trembling branches and leaves, the eight figures disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, Ise, who was half-lying in front of the wooden house, stood up straight with his eyes fixed on him.

"This gang moved? The goal goes straight to us. ”

He thought for a moment, then beckoned.

"Everyone stops cultivating."

When the eight apprentices heard this, they immediately stopped their movements and soon came to him.

"The group of wandering ninjas I met a few days ago are coming towards us."

Ise said lightly.

He stretched and sat up.

"Really? Teacher! ”

Yixi threw down the tree in his arms and fell to the ground with a thud, and then touched his fists in anticipation.

Seeing that this kid has eaten and drunk well recently, and has grown stronger, Ise nodded secretly.

"Be vigilant, maybe you can fight, maybe you can!"

Ise nodded, and said again.

"If you're a wandering ninja, you've encountered a lot, so let's take it as another training."

The eight teenagers now look a little immature, but they are not lacking in practical experience.

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the eight people had disappeared in front of him.

Glancing left and right, Ise smiled slightly, already seeing the position of the eight apprentices clearly.

"They're all smart!"

But in a moment, the trees in front of him trembled, and in the blink of an eye, another eight figures appeared in front of Ise.

Seeing Ise sitting cross-legged in front of the wooden house, Kenjiro's body was shocked, and he almost didn't hesitate to get down on one knee.

"In Shimokenjiro, who is also the leader of the eight of us, meet Ise-sama."

Ise smiled on his face, but secretly warned in his heart: "Oh? Do you know me? ”

"We have heard the news of the adult's victory over Hanzo, and we have great admiration for the adult's strength."

Kenjiro didn't raise his head, indicating his humility, and behind him, seven people were all kneeling on one knee at the moment, without saying a word.

"What are you doing here? It won't just be to visit me, will it? ”

Ise smiled faintly.

Defeating a Hanzo and being famous among wandering ninjas made him unexpected.

"Your Lord's victory over Hanzo also means that you have the strength to avenge the eight of our brothers."

"I, Kenjiro, hereby swear that if the adults are willing to kill Hanzo, my eight brothers are willing to serve the adults as the lord."

"In the future, if the master has a word, we will not dare to resign, and the lives of eight of us will also be given to the master!"

"If we break this oath, we will die without a place to bury."

Such a heavy promise, Kenjiro said it solemnly, which also made the smile on Ise's face freeze.

"Kill Hanzo, you serve me as the master?"

He asked incredulously, this group of people are here to worship the dock and recognize him as the boss.

"Yes!"

Kenjiro said.

Ise grinned, glanced at the wallet in his hand, and then said decisively.

"I refuse!"
