"Actually, I don't have to explain the ins and outs to you, you just have to do one thing, and that is to persuade him to cooperate with me. If you are persuaded to do so, you will have endless glory and wealth together, and if you can't persuade you, you will die together, and today will be your sacrifice day next year. "The big guy told me.

The rope in my hand was untied, and the man in black immediately retreated, and a dozen or so sticks were still facing me.

"Is this how you Japanese hospitality?" I asked with a wry smile.

"There's no host or guest here, there's just partnership. Only when we pass the threshold can we cooperate. Said the big man.

Like me, he is also a prisoner, but his words are aggressive, and he fully exposes the ugly face of a politician.

Without saying anything more, I slowly paced towards the prisoner tied to the stake.

The other party's bare chest was slightly undulating, already dying, and his body was covered with scars of various directions, various appearances, different shades, and different lengths.

The thugs were very measured, and their shots were just right, which not only hurt the prisoners hard, but also did not hurt the fatal points.

I put my hands on the prisoner's chin and lifted his head.

The prisoner* snorted, and then spat out: "I don't ...... Know. ”

"Do you want to live?" I asked.

"Yes. The prisoner replied.

"Cooperate with them, if you don't cooperate, you will only die. I advised him.

"They asked, and I didn't know anything. They want me to betray ...... Betraying the master...... I really don't know. Sir, help me tell them that we are only servants and where the master goes, will not tell us. If you want to find the host, you can wait...... Wait for the master to come back......" The prisoner's voice gradually returned to normal.

If the coercion wants to confess, he will not dare to hurt the prisoner's brain and language system.

"I know you're telling the truth, but no one wants to hear the truth now. What everyone wants is just the result. If you don't give the result, they will give you the result. I said helplessly.

Any kind of torture is a crime, especially the torture of prisoners into confessions.

"The master will come to save me, the Ninjutsu Alliance is nothing more than flies and rats in his eyes. The prisoner said.

Somehow he thought of something, the prisoner suddenly laughed hard.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"My master said that Mt. Fuji will be ours in the future, and if I die here, it will be tantamount to watering the land with my own blood and nourishing the soil with my flesh and bones, and future generations will always remember my name when they take root here...... Hahahaha......" The prisoner laughed.

I have no intention of judging the prisoner's thoughts, he wants to be a martyr, and no one will stop him, as long as he feels that he deserves to die.

At this moment, I had a strong premonition that the people on the platform were all decoys, and the real forces behind the scenes had been ambushed on all sides of the mountain pass, forming a huge open cloth bag, just waiting for the target to enter the urn.

I looked to the opposite side, and the brown cliffs were covered with low gray-black shrubs. In the bushes, the shadow of a ninja in a straitjacket flickered.

"Your master has come, and he has fallen into the trap of the enemy. I said.

"He was never afraid of traps, and he was most happy to see them on occasions like this. If you want to see the excitement, step aside and watch it. The prisoner said.

I just want to know the truth, I don't want to watch the meaningless fighting.

"Hey, let him explain, where the hell is his master?" shouted the big man behind me.

I don't want to be an accomplice and retreat.

"Hey, didn't you hear, ask him, ask him!" the big man saw the dagger and rushed from behind, carrying my body on his left shoulder.

"You are so anxious to see his master, and when his master comes, you must be the first to die. I said.

Since the other party betrayed me first, I don't have to worry about politeness anymore.

"As long as he comes, he will be a dead corpse today!" said the little monk resolutely.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the sun was setting in the west, and the sinkhole was dark.

"Let's go back, we probably won't be here today. Said the big man.

His attitude has changed, and his status with the little monk has been completely reversed, and he whispers to the little monk, only looking at the other party's face and acting.

"You said, grab his right-hand man, and he'll show up. The people of the Nine Great Families also believed your words, and they have been lying in ambush around the sinkhole for three days and nights. You can't finish the operation with an understatement, 'It's not coming'? No, the operation can't be over until he shows up. The little monk said categorically.

His left palm had been simply bandaged, and it was no longer bleeding, except for the blood stains between his fingers.

I stood on my right, a few steps away from the man in black, trying to adjust my breathing, using the power of my sixth sense to see farther and hear more accurately.

First of all, I sensed not the arrival of the enemy, but the dangerous ambush inside the sinkhole.

The big man said that there are "nine families of the Ninjutsu Alliance", and at this moment there are groups of short ninjas hiding in stone crevices, behind bushes, and in the shadows, each holding a strange weapon, carrying a variety of unknown tools, just waiting for the main owner to appear.

The life of a ninja is not valuable, and in ancient Japan, ninjas could only be attached to daimyo and samurai to serve their masters. Their relationship with their master is not the same as that of the four gentlemen and their guests in ancient China, on the contrary, they are at most the watchdogs of the master's family, desperate for three meals a day.

"In this battle, anyone who comes, I am afraid that they will be dragged down the abyss by the ninjas, and they will not be able to live beyond their lives. I sighed to myself.

The duty of the ninja is to assassinate, and the weapons they carry with them are brought to complete the mission. The most terrifying thing is that in the face of a strong enemy, they would rather die in battle than be afraid to retreat, just like the desert jackal, African coyote, and American jackal, which are the most headache for explorers, fighting to the last tooth, a claw, and a breath.

"I don't know if Tang Wan has also suffered such 'treatment'?" I secretly had a headache.

Dusk is coming, twilight is four, and the outline of the facial features can no longer be seen clearly in the sinkhole within ten steps.

No one turned on the lights, no one offered to leave, and everyone was plunged into darkness.

"Woo wow, woo wow", a few large crows flew close, circling around the platform.

Crows are very spiritual, and when they have a premonition that there will be carrion, they will appear there, waiting to peck at them.

Fighting together, there is probably not much left of everyone on this platform.

With a snort, a fire suddenly broke out on the top of the opposite cliff, and the fire came extremely fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, the flames rose seven or eight meters high, and quickly spread out to both sides, illuminating half of the sky.

"It's coming, it's coming. The man in black shouted.

I stepped back slowly, away from the edge of the platform.

The fire burned more and more, and gradually spread into the sinkhole. Soon, some of the ninjas were caught and retreated from the bushes to avoid the flames.

In this case, the enemy is condescending, and if all the sinkholes are set on fire, no one in the pit will survive.

The big man and the little monk tried to wait for the rabbit and lure the enemy to take the bait, but they unexpectedly fell into the trap of "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", and was covered up by the enemy from behind, facing the dilemma of being buried in the sea of fire.

"Go down!" the big man shouted, pointing under the platform.

Mt. Fuji has a very special structure, and under the sinkhole, it looks like a large chimney that has collapsed in half. At the bottom, it is true that you can temporarily avoid the flames, but since the enemy has taken fire attacks, there will naturally be follow-up attacks.

The man in black panicked and immediately retreated from the path west of the platform with the little monk in his arms.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and sure enough, it ignited everything around the sinkhole, forming a huge ring of fire that blocked all ways to survive.

All the people on the platform were gone, and I strode forward to free the prisoner from the stake.

"Those are our people!" he looked up with delight.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Are they here to save you or to kill you? If I'm not mistaken, if you can't do it quickly, reinforcements from the big guys will arrive soon. ”

Since Mount Fuji is a place for thaumaturgists to practice provided by the Japanese government, there must be a large number of special forces within 100 kilometers of the vicinity to deal with various emergencies. If those elite soldiers arrive, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

The prisoner ignored my words and walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.

The defeated ninjas quickly regrouped, forming a circular line of defense thirty meters below the platform, ready to fight back.

I can't see the big guy, but the ninjas in the west position are very densely arranged, and it should be a bucket formation deliberately arranged to protect him.

"Destroy them, and the ninjas of the Nine Great Families will be wiped out. The prisoner said.

This situation reminds me of the most famous battle of Chibi in Chinese history.

The battle of winning more with less established the classic situation of "Three Kingdoms", and it also started with a fire attack, and after the enemy was defeated, it was repeatedly robbed and killed halfway, and finally the hero Cao Cao fled with only a few hundred people in embarrassment.

"Fire Attack...... When the enemy retreats into a hollow, it will naturally connect with a water attack. "I see that clearly.

Water and fire are ruthless, up and down, I am afraid that the big man will drown here. As for the so-called "Nine Families of the Ninjutsu Alliance", they have never met each other, and they are not acquainted, so naturally they have nothing to do with me. In the values of the Chinese, Japan is infighting, pouring and fighting, and my generation will only clap their hands and be happy to watch the fire from the other side.

"Let's go, you're badly wounded, and it's unwise to go into battle again. I admonished the other party.

Without knowing his true identity, I can only speak in a humanitarian spirit, and cannot take undue sides.

The big man and the little monk are a very subtle combination, similar to the classic combination of "the old minister assists the young master".

Looking at today, the relationship between countries and between the forces of the rivers and lakes is one of the advantages of one and the other. If the Japanese imperial family is fighting and the people are withering, and then the national strength declines and the national fortunes fail, this will be a great good thing for the mainland, which is equivalent to surrendering the army without a fight, and it will be the best choice.

Therefore, I saw through it but did not say it, and let the situation continue to ferment.

After he took power, Japan's economic, diplomatic, military, and international image underwent earth-shaking changes, and it was the other pole of the "Koizumi incompetent era." It is precisely because of his existence that the monarchs of the surrounding small countries can no longer sit back and relax, and instead strengthen their own combat power by possessing nuclear bombs and * defense systems to prevent the recurrence of the disasters of World War II.

"You are a good man, I will go down, if our leader arrives, you tell him that I will die with the great men of Japan's time, in order to make a name in history, hahahaha......" The prisoner looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly jumped off the platform, his body flexed, like an ape, and when he fell, his toes were at the tip of the half-raised stone beam, and he rolled and disappeared into the bushes.

"Death to those who are greedy for merit. I couldn't help but shake my head.
