Chapter 224: The Swastika of Koga (II)
Today's third update...... Give me a monthly pass, right? Whew hoo :)
ββEven the code word is good and sleepy drip dividing lineββ
In the grove beside the road, two black shadows walked out together. The man on the left side has a strange appearance. He had long hands and long feet, but his back was swollen with a large lump, and he was a hunchback. If you stretch your limbs and lie on the ground, you will look like a big spider. The man on the right has an ordinary figure, an ordinary dress, and a more ordinary appearance. At first glance, it's the kind of type that you can't recognize if you throw it into the crowd.
The young man, who was so ordinary-looking that he couldn't find his characteristics, smiled at the Echigo samurai. Then he turned around and said, "Zhangsuke, don't make people laugh when you say rude things." After a pause, he turned around again, bowed slightly, and said, "Ten people from the Koga Swastika, see the Tsuki Saemon." He stretched out his hand and pointed to his companion and said, "This is also one of our ten people in Jiahe, and the wind will be in prison." As for the one over there, it's our deputy general Muroga Leopard Horse. We've been waiting for you to arrive for a long time. β
"After Iga Ninja, Koga Ninja again?" In the darkness, I didn't know what the Echigo samurai was saying, but I could hear him cry out in confusion and anger: "Didn't you two always regard each other as rivals? Why did they suddenly get mixed up? It's just inexplicable! β
"In this world right now, everything is chaotic and unclear. An ally today may be an enemy tomorrow, and vice versa. How can there be an exception between Koga and Iga? Muroga Leopard Ma said lightly: "This truth, the lord of Echigo, Lord Uesugi, should be the clearest. Well, we don't have to waste any more time. Please tell Uesugi-sama to lay down their weapons and come with us. I swear in the name of Hachiman Damyojin that I will never harm your life, Lord Uesugi. β
The Echigo samurai shouted angrily, "Fart! Why should we trust your promises? A lowly ninja who is inferior is not worthy of talking to our lord at all. Get out of the way. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! β
"Hey, is there a mistake?" Uden Shosuke shook his head again and again in dissatisfaction, and said, "When you meet the people on Iga's side, you immediately turn around and run away." But to our Jiahe, how dare you say such a thing? Do you think Koga is inferior to Iga? Damn it! Let's take a good look at how capable we are Koga! β
"Zhangsuke, don't mess around." Muroga Leopard Ma stopped him, and then said slowly: "Uesugi-sama, you should know that you are no match for our Koga ninjas. Needless resistance will only cause unnecessary casualties. If Uesugi-sama is really handsome, please don't do anything superfluous. After all, he didn't want to kill senselessly. β
The Echigo samurai looked at each other, and suddenly they gritted their teeth and shouted in unison, "Kill!" Each kicked the horse's belly hard, driving the horse forward. The long knife in his hand flickered in the cold light in the dark night, and with the help of Liliang who was sprinting at full speed with the help of the war horse, the momentum was stronger and the killing power was stronger! The expressions of the three people, including Uden Zhangsuke, Feng Zhi General, and Ruzuki Saemon, changed at the same time, and each wanted to do it. However, Muroga Leopard Ma calmly ordered, "Koga ninjas, get out of the way immediately!" β
As the deputy general of Koga, the status of Muroga Leopard Horse is exactly the same as that of Yakushiji Tenzen in Iga. The three shinobi of Koga did not dare to disobey the order, and each of them retreated backwards, and the gap between Muroga Leopard Horse and the Echigo samurai became empty, and there was no longer any barrier. Seeing that the war horse was about to rush in front of him, and the knife was about to cut his body, Muroga Leopard Horse suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, and stared at the enemy.
Under the dark night, the eyes of the leopard horse of Muroga glowed with an incredible and strange light. The Echigo samurai, who were full of murderous intent, couldn't even notice his eyes. And once his gaze touched the strange eyes of Muroga Leopard Horse, he couldn't move it away. said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and the dozen or so Echigo samurai suddenly lived like a demon, and each of them suddenly reined in their horses and forcibly stopped the momentum.
In the next moment, the Echigo samurai turned around and looked back, swinging their swords madly and slashing at their companions. The knife is bloody, and there is no mercy. But in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so samurai fell one after another, and only Zuihou was left. He was covered in blood, but he didn't seem to be injured in the fatal wounds, so that he could barely stand. He clenched the hilt of his sword, gasping for breath as he looked at Muroga Leopard with great difficulty. And then......
He slashed at his neck with a sharp swing of his knife, slashing off his own head. Blood rushed to the sky, heads fell to the ground, and blood surged into the sky like a fountain, and then dyed the earth red. After a long time, the headless corpse fell straight down.
"Koga Ninja - Pupil of Confusion"! This is an incomparably terrifying ninjutsu. Whoever has the intention of harming the Muroga Leopard Horse, then he will be hypnotized at the same time as he touches the eyes of the Muroga Leopard Horse, and he will involuntarily engage in intense self-harm. The corpses of more than a dozen Echigo samurai are the best example of blood.
Sigh slightly. Muroga closed his eyes. Using the knife in his hand as a cane, he pointed forward and sighed, "I have already advised you, Uesugi-sama. Alas~ Why bother. The tone was gloomy and emotional. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, it seems that he is really sorry for the death of Kenshin Uesugi. The general next to him praised: "Good ability." Leopard Horse, worthy of being our deputy general of Jiahe. Haha, who would have thought that. To be able to perform such a powerful ninjutsu of Hitomi, you are a blind man who is blind. β
"If you say something wrong, you will be imprisoned. He is not blind. Uden said in a rough voice: "In fact, in the dark night after sunset, the leopard horse can still see things." Otherwise, how was he going to perform the pupil technique just now? β
"It's not something to brag about, Josuke. In fact, Uesugi-sama is a true hero. If it had been possible, I wouldn't have wanted him to die so soon. Alas~ It's a pity. Muroga Leopard Horse sighed and groped his way, walked to the corpses of the Echigo samurai, knelt down on his knees, took the rosary from his bosom, held it in his hand, and recited "Amitabha" ten times in a row towards the corpse. This is a transcendent ritual known as the "Ten Thoughts." It is generally believed that in this way, the deceased will be able to stay away from the red dust and filth and be reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss.
After completing the transcendence ceremony, Muroga Leopard stood up and said in a condensed voice, "Saemon, it's your turn to get out." Use your proud 'Thousand Faces Technique'. In the Jihua of His Royal Highness the Celestial God Sect, it is necessary for Uesugi Kenshin to be alive for the time being. β
"Koga Ninja - The Art of a Thousand Faces". This unique ninjutsu allows Kisaragi Saemon to freely change his face according to the face of his opponent. At the same time, he can also imitate the other party's voice at will, so that even his parents and brothers will never find a flaw. It's a pity that he still has a shortcoming in this disguise technique, that is, he can't change his body. The body is about the same as that of Saemon Nygetsu, so there is naturally no pressure on him to change. But if there is a special person like Uden Zhangsuke and Kaze, then Ruzuki Saemon will not be able to change it.
However, when it comes to stature, Uesugi Kenshin's figure is only medium, not particularly tall and burly. Therefore, at this moment, Ruzuki Saemon is obviously very relaxed about the task to be performed. He lit a torch and went to examine the corpses on the ground with a bright light. However, the more he examined it, the more ugly his face became. Seeing that he didn't look right, General Kazeto asked, "Saemon, what's wrong?" β
"I didn't ...... No! Kenshin Uesugi's corpse, there is no such thing! Sweating profusely, Ruzuki Saemon shouted, "We've been fooled." Kenshin Uesugi is not here at all! β
"No Kenshin Uesugi? How is this possible? When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised at the same time. They immediately stepped forward, and the helpers turned the corpses on the ground over separately for careful examination. At the same time, they took out a portrait from their bosom and compared it with the dead body.
This portrait was given to them by the general of Koga Swastika before the operation. The Kenshin Uesugi depicted above is lifelike. Whoever gets this portrait will never be mistaken for it. However, they searched here for a long time, and Zuihou finally found out. None of these dead bodies on the ground can match the portrait.
Feng waited for the prisoner to stomp his feet irritably, and said fiercely: "Sure enough, no." Ha, what a cunning Kenshin Uesugi. He didn't know when it started, so he sneaked away alone. But he let his subordinates ride the BMW and 'release the moon hair', pretending that he was still in the team. Damn it! If it weren't night, he wouldn't be able to mix up this little trick. β
Muroga shook his head and said, "But if it's not night, then my pupil technique won't be able to be used." It can be said that there are gains and losses. β
Ruzuki Saemon was shocked and said, "Leopard Horse, you mean...... Kenshin Uesugi knows that we are waiting for him here, and he also knows your Hitomi Jutsu? β
Muroga Leopard Ma laughed and said, "Of course not. Ninjutsu is a ninja's biggest secret, and only your closest friends and relatives will know it. I have the secret of this pupil technique, and apart from you, only the masters of the Celestial God Sect know about it. How could Kenshin Uesugi be an exception? But...... Don't forget, after all, he is a man nicknamed 'God of War'. Probably, he also sensed that someone would cut off his back path here, so he used the Shadow Warrior Belt to disturb us. Well...... This trick seems to be called 'golden cicada shelling' in the Tang Dynasty's military book. β
The Urinje hummed and said, "Na, don't analyze the leopard horse." What should we do now? β
Muroga Leoparda muttered, "The ambush location on the Iga side is only about a mile and a half away from us, and it is basically a straight road on flat ground. With such a short distance, even if Uesugi Kenshin escaped, he would definitely not be able to escape far. β
