Chapter Fifty-Eight: Endure and kill, a cruel war that does everything you can
In the spring of the 19th year of KeichΕ, the residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the great imperial office of the Edo shogunate, the city within the city, within the Sunfu.
Accompanied by the chirping of the eagle in the sky, the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, accompanied by the third Hattori Hanzo and the third Yagyu Muneki, enjoyed the ninja performance brought by the two major ninja sects of Iga Ryu and Koga Ryu in front of the Sunfu Miyagi.
Tokugawa Ieyasu sat in the middle of the crowd, his left hand was Yagyu Muneki, his right hand was Hattori Hanzo, and in the lower position of the two, they were Iga Afan, the leader of the Iga Hidden Valley, and Koga Danmasa, the leader of the Koga Swastika Valley.
Of course, these two leaders are already dying, one is a gray-haired old woman, the other is a frowning old man, and now the ninja is performing, and it is the two major genres of new ninjas of the new generation:
Kaga Kaze to be a general vs Iga Yashamaru
"Cut!"
(It only takes a split second to kill you.) οΌ
Dressed in black, handsome and cold, the ninja Yashamaru raised his hands, and the next moment, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, there was a sudden sound of tearing and whipping in the void.
The Koga ninja Kaze Shogun opposite Yashamaru saw the ground between the two of them suddenly tear and shatter, and in front of him, something vague seemed to flash.
Because of the strange body shape caused by the cultivation of the Kaga ninja method since childhood, the wind with an abnormally bulging hunchback on his back was not clear to the general, so he chose to retreat at the first time, but the whipping fluctuation sound in the void chased and killed extremely fast, and when the distance between the two sides was pulled to a certain extent, the sharp-eyed wind general found that the chaotic blade pursued by the void turned out to be a slender black line.
In the process of retreating, there was a large stone behind him, and the blade line controlled by the Yakshamaru in the distance on the opposite side had already been killed, and the wind was waiting for the first time to raise the short knife carried by his waist, basically, every elite ninja of Koga and Iga, in addition to their respective ninja skills, possessed superb martial arts and light skills.
The combination of extremely high qualities and their almost incredible ninja mysteries makes Koga and Iga elite ninjas one to the best, and they can accomplish many tasks that even an army would not be able to accomplish perfectly.
(Is his ninja method of manipulating the blade line?) It's really strong, but once you understand it, it's not hard to deal with. With the sheathed short knife in his hand and the large stone support behind him, the hands of the opposite Yakshamaru waved, and the wind was bound and locked with one blade after another, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Drink!"
With the force of Yakshamaru's hands, the sharp blade line even circled the large stone behind the Wind Waiting Prisoner, and also cut the blood on the forehead of the Wind Waiting Prisoner.
"Don't worry."
Click, click, between the continuous sound of the taut blade, the big stone behind the prisoner and the scabbard of the short knife in his hand were also constantly cracking.
Seeing this, the black-clothed ninja Yashamaru, who had a cold temperament and described handsomeness, sneered: "The pain of death is only for a moment. β
With that, he suddenly tightened his hands, only to hear a loud bang, a large cloud of smoke and dust spread, and the broken blades and gravel of the short knife even smashed out, and such a hard thing was actually destroyed by the Yakshamaru in one blow.
"Hmm, Iga Fantasy, that line...... What kind of weapon was that man using? Sweat flowed down his cheeks, and he estimated in his heart how many samurai he could take out with this blow, and suddenly turned his head sideways and asked the leader of the Iga people beside him, Phantom Po.
"That's it. Woven with the hair of a dead woman, and then coated with secret animal oil, this is the nirvana of Iga Yashamaru, and the black rope is also. β
"Then again, if the opponent is too weak, there is no point in Yashamaru using that kind of killing weapon." When Iga Aphantom, who was dying old and no longer had a few teeth in her mouth, said this, she moved her gaze to the side of the bullet, meaning provocation.
"Hehe, be careful of happiness and sorrow, phantom woman." Kaga Dan ignored the other party's provocation and moved his gaze to the place where the smoke and dust were falling.
Therefore, the others also looked over, only to see that with the smoke and dust gradually falling, the deformed Wind Waiting Prison landed on all fours, like a humanoid spider slowly crawling out, he was not injured, at the moment when Yakshamaru closed the net and struck with all his might, the short blade and the big stone fought for him for a momentary gap, and the Wind Waiting Prison grabbed this momentary gap and escaped with a method similar to the Instantaneous Technique.
The instantaneous technique of the Hokage World, to put it bluntly, is that the chakra explodes instantly, allowing yourself to instantly move away from a certain point, and if you use it well, it is excellent to attack and retreat, but if you don't use it well, your own defense is greatly weakened when you use the instantaneous technique, and you can't react even when you hit the trap in an instant, and frequent use will cause great load and consumption to the body.
Therefore, even the Shinobi of the Hokage World will not easily use the instantaneous technique in battle, because it is beautiful if it is used well, and if it is not used well, it may be his own death.
Having just escaped the death calamity, the Wind Waiting Prison ran out of the smoke in a strange four-legged walking demon spider posture, and the tongue in his mouth was stretched out and flicked in a strange way.
The next moment, with a flick of his tongue, a cloud of foreign matter was suddenly spewed out, and Yakshamaru didn't expect that the wind would be able to attack so quickly and fiercely at this distance, only to raise his hands up to block, and fall backwards in the sharp pain of his arms.
Yakshamaru only felt that he had been hit by an iron ball, and if that was the case, it was nothing, the ninja had undergone extremely hard training since childhood, and this level of attack was not enough to make him incapacitated, but Yakshamaru soon found that his arms were stuck in a cloud of gelatinous liquid.
"Koga Danzheng, what was that just now?" This time it was the turn of the Koga ninja to show an unimaginable ninja, Yagyu continued to ask.
"Phlegm also!"
"Phlegm? Phlegm! As a samurai leader who had always relied only on swords, Yagyu frowned slightly.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's ridiculous to use phlegm against the black rope of the Yaksha pill."
"Hmph...... Ah Huan, don't underestimate him, the general of the Koga Swastika Valley will be supervised to cultivate the secret ninja method 'Demon Spider', although his body shape is alienated because of this, he moves quickly and agilely, and can spit out cannonball-shaped sputum from his mouth, its density is like an iron ball, and the viscosity is hundreds of times that of ordinary sputum. If it was at any other time, Koga Danmasa would naturally not tell him in detail about his secret ninja method, but at this moment, he said this to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In this world, although there is still an emperor above, it is actually the world of the Tokugawa shogun's family. In ancient times, farmers and civilians were extremely poor, working all day long to grow food from the saline-alkali land, but it was difficult to even eat all year round, and one day they would die like dogs.
The only way to get out of such a tragic fate is to become a samurai class, to become the ruling class of this world. It's just that if you want to become a samurai class, you need the approval of powerful people.
Ninjas, from the beginning, are farmers with some special abilities, they have the ability to protect themselves in troubled times, and lease their abilities to the existence of the lords in troubled times.
Ninjas are more liberal than samurai, but they are also not trusted, after all, ninjas are relatively independent, unlike samurai who have entrusted their lives and deaths to their lords.
In troubled times, this situation is okay, the seller's market, as long as the ninja's ability is strong enough, there is no lack of favor for the lord in the war, and occasionally it can also affect the rise and fall of one party's power.
However, as the Tokugawa shogunate dominated the world and the major ninja villages gradually disappeared, even the Koga Swastika Valley and Iga Hidden Valley, which were the ninja clans, had to surrender their allegiance to the Tokugawa shogunate as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be a matter of becoming farmers again and digging in the saline land, but whether they would be wiped out by the army.
Although a ninja can be a hundred enemies, it is far more difficult to train than a samurai, talent, hard work, and luck are indispensable, and Koga Swastika Valley is qualified to become a ninja clan, but there are about ten people, and Iga Hidden Valley is almost like this, this level of strength, as long as Tokugawa Ieyasu sends an army, it is completely enough to exterminate them together.
Of course, in the face of ninjas with their own strange ninja methods, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun, will also be afraid of the other party's dog jumping off the wall.
At this moment, the battle between the Kaga ninja and the Iga ninja Yashamaru has become more and more intense, and the two clans have accumulated a bloody grudge for four hundred years in the troubled times, but they were previously limited by the authority of the leader of the shogunate ninja Hattori Hanzo, and signed a covenant not to fight, so both the Kazeto and the Yakshamaru are forcing the killing intent in their hearts.
However, at this moment, it is becoming more and more truly popular, and gradually leaving behind the big names such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, the third generation of Yagyu Soju, and the third generation of Hattori Hanzo.
The phlegm created by the Obscurant Spider Ninja method sealed Yashamaru's hands, and the wind waited for the prison to think that he had won the battle, but he didn't expect that Yashamaru could also control those rope blades with his legs, and the knife-like rope blade would chop the sticky phlegm on his arm, and the two began to fight again, and because they had learned each other's ninja methods, both sides became more disciplined and more difficult to deal with between attacking and retreating.
In the process of fighting, the two snatched the high place, Yashamaru threw the black rope out, hung himself and flew up, and the wind waited for the general to rely on the "Obscurant Spider" ninja method, the whole person was really like a big spider, sticking to the wall and catching up quickly, and the speed was not slow at all.
The white clouds drifted, and the wind blew away.
Koga and Iga, the two masters of ninja law, each stood on the high place of the mansion, each using their own means, rushing against each other, they had already killed the red eye!
"That's enough, let them stop." Suddenly, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been sitting among the crowd and had not spoken all the time, whispered like this.
Iga Phantom and Koga Dan were shocked when they heard this, and immediately shouted, "That's it! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Bang!
In a fierce explosion, the two people who urged all their strength could not control their bodies and collided together, causing smoke and dust from broken bricks and tiles to rise.
When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone looked up to the heights, only to see that the big beast-like hand of the Wind Waiting Prison had been pressed on the head of Yaksha Maru, but on the other hand, Yaksha Pill held a knife in his right hand, and the black rope controlled by his left hand had already entangled the head of the Wind Waiting Prisoner, and both of them were sure to kill each other one step faster than their opponents.
However, the two of them stopped abruptly in the cheers of the leaders of the two sides, Koga and Iga, showing terrifying courage and control.
"Koga and Iga, I can't imagine that there is such a person hiding in the neighboring country of Yagyu, which is really a dereliction of my duty as a sect."
"I've heard the first generation of Hattori Hanzo mention that these people's forbearance is beyond ordinary martial arts."
After the end of the ninja performance, the leader of the Koga ninja clan was waiting for the general prison with the wind, and the leader of the Iga ninja clan, Iga Aphantom, took the Yakshamaru, and the four of them bowed down in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the third generation of Yagyu Muneki, and the third generation of Hattori Hanzo.
"Well, today is really an eye-opener, Koga Danmasa, Iga Fantasy, you have all worked hard."
"Hey."
Hearing this, Koga Danzheng and Iga Ah Phantom slowly bowed their heads, and the two of them behind them, the Wind Waiting Prison and Yakshamaru, also bowed to them.
The people of this era do not have the independent consciousness of later generations, and those who worship the superior will not feel humiliated, and they will feel extremely honored to be praised by them.
Although he practiced hard day and night, he cultivated his own powerful ninja method, but in the final analysis, he was still a country man, and when he came to Edo, he saw the prosperous city, the large population, and the soldiers in armor and blades, and he had already surrendered to the superior Tokugawa Ieyasu from the bottom of his heart because of these.
In their minds, they are the Koga Iga ninja who are more noble than the farmers, and the daimyo lord is a higher status than them, learning literary and martial arts, and selling goods to the emperor's family, which is a natural thing.
"Anyway, Koga Danmasa, Iga Fantasy, are you willing to take your subordinate ninjas and risk your lives to have a ninja battle and decide the next general for the Tokugawa family?"
"You fight and fight each other, and whoever is alive and holds this scroll in the end is the victor. I promise the victor a thousand years of glory. β
When Tokugawa Ieyasu, the majestic shogun who had gone through the war and ended the troubled times, said such words, Koga Danmasa and Iga Aphanta both subconsciously raised their heads, and the two of them behind the Kazeto Shogun and Yashamaru couldn't help but widen their eyes, revealing irrepressible excitement and ecstasy.
Since the signing of the no-war covenant with the first Hattori Hanzo, the two great ninja clans have been sealed in the dark, for too long, and now, they can not only avenge the blood feud of the past four hundred years, but also decide the candidate for the third generation of generals, and obtain the glory of the millennium.
In the afternoon, the red sun sets.
To the west of Sunpu Castle, the Abe River.
Koga Danmasa and Iga Phantom respectively handed over the names of Koga and Iga Ten to the two of them.
"Bring it back to the Koga Swastika Valley."
"Bring back Iga Akirakure."
These two famous posts mean that the covenant that binds and seals the two clans without war is completely lifted, and whichever side receives the news first will gain a relative advantage.
Because the side that did not receive the news thought that the peace was still going on, and the side that received the news was already able to launch an offensive with impunity.
At the moment when Iga Shinobu Yashamaru ran past, Koga Danmasa's figure staggered past it and came to Iga Phantom.
"I didn't expect this kind of development, Ah Huan." Some of them said with emotion, as if they were in a trance, recalling something.
"Yes, I wanted to use the marriage of my grandchildren to gradually make the two races live in harmony, but the result is ......"
"Now they're meeting somewhere."
"It's pitiful, the two of them still don't have a chance after all."
"After all, is there no chance? This...... It's fate. β
"Terrible providence."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the riverside of the Abe River, two rickety old men and women talked inexplicably, lamenting the unpredictability of the world.
The two watched the red sun go down together, and the whole world gradually fell into darkness.
"Then again, Phantom Woman. You don't know much about the Ten Men of Koga Swastika, right? As he spoke, Koga Dan stroked his beard with his hand, the Koga Swastika Ten were the ninja elite he had cultivated, and he would never believe that they would lose to anyone in the Ninja War.
"You're the one who doesn't know much about the Ten of Iga, right?" Of course, the phantom woman did not want to be verbally defeated, so she immediately fought back.
"Ten people? It must be nine. Fu Xu Yin smiled, and a long poisonous needle extended from Jiahe's mouth, and then was suddenly spit out by it.
This blow is both fast and ruthless and extremely secretive, and it can also be called abrupt in the transformation of feelings, one moment it is still mourning and remembering, and the next moment it has already hurt the killer.
Therefore, the leader of Iga Yin, Phantom Po, seems to have really been caught unguarded, and was directly hit by a thousand long needles, piercing the vital point on the side of the neck, which is completely enough to kill the blow.
ββ¦β¦ Play...... Correct! Turning sideways in disbelief, his eyes protruding, Iga struggled to get to Koga.
"You're too careless, Ah Fan. Also, that kid named Yakshamaru is far from hot enough. Sneering proudly, the leader of the Koga ninja clan, Koga Dan, reached into his arms and took out a scroll, which was the ninja post that Iga Phantom had just handed over to Yashamaru to bring back Iga Eigakure.
At the moment when Koga Dan and Yashamaru staggered by, Koga Dan was stealing it in an instant with Ninja Stealing Technique, so that Koga Ninja had an absolute first-mover advantage in this ninja war.
Open the scroll, bite your finger, and erase Iga's name, and with a blow from his own poisonous needle, Koga is sure that the other party is undoubtedly dead.
ββ¦β¦ Play...... Zheng ...... "Iga Illusion, who has a thousand long needles diagonally stuck in her neck, walks towards Koga Danzheng step by step with a terrifying vitality and obsession, but it seems that she can't perform any ninja in this state.
"Farewell, Ah Phantom." With such a whisper, Koga Danzheng spat out another thousand long needles, and then spat out, this needle directly into Iga Aphant's mouth, through the back of his neck. After receiving this blow again, Iga could no longer support it and fell backwards to the ground.
High in the sky, the eagle flapped its wings and flew, and after making sure that the enemy was dead, Koga Danmasa finally showed some sadness, he walked up and gently stroked the phantom's unclosed eyes, and whispered, "This is our fate as ninjas...... Ah Fantasy. β
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rushing and falling behind him, and Koga Dan was extremely keen as a ninja, he suddenly met him, but saw that it was an eagle in the air and fell, but, before Koga Dan was able to make any response, he was lying behind him and the old woman who had died hideously, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out the thousand roots inserted in his mouth, and held the vest that instantly penetrated into Koga Danzheng.
"Ahhhh Ah Fantasy. The eagle in front of him swept by, and the Koga bullet roared lowly, and then fell to the side of the rubble of the Abe River,
With the ninja and death technique, he held the phantom woman who had never died in one breath, supported and crawled on his chest, and his hands were stained with the blood that kept pouring out of Koga Danmasa's mouth, and then crossed the name of Koga Danmasa on the scroll.
Lying on the corpse of Koga Danmasa, with a thousand long needles stuck in his neck, Iga Phantom smiled heartily.
Her mind and perception were extremely delicate, and she had actually noticed it when Kaga Dan was performing the stealing spell on Yashamaru just now. But the phantom woman didn't break it, because she knew that there was a gap in combat power between herself and Kaga Dan, and even if she joined forces with Yashamaru, the other party would have the same strength to be imprisoned.
The result of forcibly breaking is that the two of them can only redeem one of the other party, or all four of them will die together, in short, the odds of victory on Iga's side are not high.
However, the fight between ninjas has never been limited to head-to-head combat, and Iga Phantom casts the art of ninja death, waiting for the bullet to strike at him.
After two fatal attacks in his body, the bullet really relaxed, and at the moment of his negligence, he suddenly struck with the residual strength, and turned defeat into victory.
It's just that, lying on the shriveled chest of Koga Danzheng, Iga Ah Phantom began to cry with a smile, she let the ninja post high in the air, and the eagle she raised was taken away, and brought back to Iga Akira, and then she looked down at the dead Koga Danzheng, until the strength she had retained with the ninja death technique was completely exhausted.
The red sun set in the west, and in the west of Sunfu City, in the undulating wind and waves of the Abe River, the bodies of two old people who hugged each other and slept were shocked down the river.
In a trance, the two seemed to be back to their youth.
Koga Dan is majestic and steady, and Iga is beautiful and dignified...... They spent their lives trying to free the Koga and Iga clans from their old feuds, but it wasn't until their deaths that the two of them could truly be together peacefully.
On the other side, when the Wind Waiting Prison and Yakshamaru, who had not yet realized that he had lost the Shinobi Post, rushed back, the Fog Lock Array that had bound someone for a month was completely lifted.
After Naruto cast the Tempest, a faint whirlwind danced around him, which increased his speed and reduced his physical exertion, allowing him to run more comfortably over long distances.
(Head to Edo Castle Sunfu, the world's most visible landmark, and then look for traces to hunt down Koga or Iga Shinobi to join the story.) Otherwise, with my current strength, it would be too reluctant to compete with twenty ninjas who have cultivated their own exquisite ninjas since childhood, but where is the most suitable point for me to cut into the plot? οΌ
After the cave collapsed, when Naruto ran out, a big orange fox followed him first, but after running for a while, the big fox disappeared into the forest, and Naruto didn't care about this.
