Chapter 188: Ninja War
Ninjas originated in the Heiankyo period, when they were called "Shinoben", and in later times they were also called "Ranbo". And only recently was it officially called "Ninja".
In order to make the classification of ninjas easy to govern, Levi divided ninjas into lower ninjas, middle ninjas, upper ninjas and elite upper ninjas through spiritual strength according to the grading method he was familiar with.
Basically, it corresponds to the rank of the samurai of the same level, the lower ninja corresponds to the lower samurai, the middle ninja corresponds to the intermediate samurai, the upper ninja corresponds to the superior samurai, and the elite upper ninja corresponds to the swordsman.
It's a pity that the ninjas in Levi's hands don't even have people who can be called upper ninjas, only seven middle ninjas and more than thirty lower ninjas.
After all, in the past, the head of the Fujiwara family did not train ninjas for special missions, but only as a tool to collect information about Kyoto, so he did not value strength.
However, now that the ninja village system was established, Levi began to cultivate the strength of the ninja.
The powerful join the dark department, or become the guardian ninja of the Fujiwara Mansion, and the weaker enter the intelligence department or go to the ninja village to teach.
However, the time is still a little shorter, and the combat effectiveness of the ninjas in the shadows at this stage still relies on new weapons.
At this time, the dark ninjas had dispersed to a place nearly thirty kilometers away from Kyoto.
From here, you will be completely out of the range of Kyoto, and you will be able to go outside an area that you have not set foot in for several years.
After leaving the city, the Shadows split up and worked in pairs, one of whom was responsible for taking care of the ninja dogs and reconnaissance, and the other was in charge of fighting.
In the night, a man and a dog slowly advanced lightly on the trees on both sides of the road, as if they were agile apes, and even the crows in the trees were not alarmed.
The captain of the dark part went to the main road alone with a Shiba Inu to investigate, and he was also the closest ninja to the Fujiwara family.
The Ministry of Intelligence had already found traces of the Ninja invasion of the Genji Shogunate in Kyoto, which is why Levi sent them out of the city to investigate.
The outside of Kyoto is a forbidden place for humans, especially in an area that is already more than 30 kilometers away from Kyoto.
As he walked along, he spotted a monster or a demon, like a headless monk, roaming the main road, but he could only record it and left far away.
But at this time, Shiba Inu, who was suddenly following him, began to bite his leg lightly, which was an early warning that the ninja dog had spotted the enemy.
The Dark Troop Commander instantly became vigilant, and he hid in the tree for a moment and took out the kunai.
"Whoosh!"
The three shurikens broke through the air, but the Dark Troop Commander, who had been alert in advance, dodged the three shuriken thrown at the last moment, fell from the branch to the ground, and rolled several times before relieving himself.
But at this time, three ninjas who were not dressed like him were surrounded in a triangular posture, one with a short knife in his hand, one with kunai, and the other with several shuriken between his fingertips.
The spiritual pressure of these three ninjas is above the Dark Force Commander.
The ninja dog gritted his teeth and made a "whine" sound, ready to attack at any time, and the dark captain also took out the kunai with his backhand and prepared for battle.
He recognized the three ninjas as as the Koga ninja under the Kamito shogunate, and it was supposed to be an encounter, and if the opponent was an ambush, he would have died long ago.
None of them spoke, and the moonlight outside the city was terrifyingly cold, except for the quacking of night crows, and then the battle was about to break out.
The shadows and the ninja dog dodged for a moment, dodging the enemy's attack, but at this moment, the other ninja's three shurikens seemed to form an incomparable arc trajectory.
Ninja: Shuriken Three Great Windmills!
The Dark Captain dodged the surprise attack of the Short Knife Ninja, but he couldn't dodge the three shuriken at all with his strength in the air.
But at the end, he also threw out a kunai who didn't know what was tied to it, and the three shurikens hit his torso in unison, and a muffled grunt came out, as if the shuriken was completely piercing his body.
And the kunai he threw at the end was simply taken by the enemy, and the shogunate ninja looked at the shoddy kunai in his hand, and it was even covered with cracks.
"Humph!" The Shogunate ninjas just snorted coldly, they felt that they were still too cautious, the ninjas in Kyoto were really vulnerable, and the ninja tools they used were all of this kind of goods.
The kunai that was thrown was also soft, as if he hadn't eaten.
However, they also saw a bald oval sphere the size of an egg tied to the kunai grip, as if it was this ball tied to the kunai that affected the center of gravity of the kunai's throw.
At this time, the commander of the dark army, who had just been hit by three shurikens, held a pulled out latch in his hand, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth in the darkness.
"Boom!"
A fierce explosion exploded from the end of the kunai, and the silence of the entire night sky was completely shattered, and the cracked kunai shattered under the explosion, turning into fragments in the sky, instantly beating a ninja into a sieve.
The commander of the dark army lifted his cloak, and he was actually wearing a set of armor made of wire all over his body, and the three shurikens all hit him, but he was not injured under the protection of the wire armor.
The sound spread, and a large number of birds quacked and screamed.
The violent explosion killed one ninja on the spot, wounding two others as well, quickly developing tinnitus and bleeding from the shockwave at close range.
However, the ninjas of the shogunate quickly got up, and they were not ready to continue the fight, so they turned and fled.
The ninjas in Kyoto actually have a strange explosive bomb, and they must pass this information back.
The two looked at each other, then threw down several shuriken and fled.
The idea is pricked, and the wind is tight!
And at this moment, the shadow ninja quickly took out a revolver shotgun behind his back and aimed it at an escaped shogunate ninja.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Ninja Law - Six Iron Cannons!
A series of six shotguns were fired in a row, because the distance began to exceed fifty meters, the captain of the dark army directly emptied the nest of bullets without any stinginess, and a ninja who escaped was directly hit in the back by the dense shotguns, and his whole body was like a honeycomb coal, and his heart was wide open, and he died on the spot.
As for the other escaped Shogunate ninja, the Dark Force Commander did not chase after him because he was already dead.
At this time, the ninja who escaped only felt that his whole head was buzzing, and he couldn't imagine why the Kyoto ninja had such a strange weapon.
At this time, gunpowder was just being used in combat, and it was basically only used for smoke bombs and improvised explosive bombs packed in bamboo tubes.
The power of this kind of explosive bomb can basically only hurt people, and it is difficult to kill people.
He must bring this information back to the shogunate, and the ninja must bring it back at any time, even if it costs him his life.
But at this time, he suddenly saw a ninja dog with a forehead guard on his head in front of him, and the yellow Shiba Inu seemed to have bitten something, so he quickly fled.
All he saw was an oval sphere the size of an egg thrown by Shiba Inu......
"Boom!"
