(As for the reason why Shiranui is in such a miserable state...I finally understand. Thank you for your hard work.)

(Your name is Kikutaro, right? Now that Shiranui has been destroyed, are you interested in joining me?)

…

For no reason, Kikutaro recalled the words Toyotomi Nobuhide had said to him after he was destroyed in Shiranui, and he was found by Toyotomi's people and brought to him after he survived by chance.

Recalling these words from the past, Kikutaro couldn't help but let out a silent sigh again.

——Having such huge financial resources and manpower, but not enjoying it properly, they only do things that are annoying... This kind of person is really difficult to understand.

——Well, just because I can’t understand this kind of person, I’m probably destined not to have any great achievements in this life... Anyway, I don’t care whether I achieve something or not.

If Kikutaro were asked to evaluate himself and evaluate his strengths, then Kikutaro would probably say: I have only one advantage, and that is that I have no ambition.

Kikutaro has always believed that having no ambition is an advantage.

Because I have no ambition, I can tolerate my own mediocrity and mediocrity, and can live a more relaxed and happy life than those who are ambitious.

To live his life in a relaxed and ordinary way - this is Kikutaro's wish that has never changed since he was sensible.

After living a very ordinary life, it would be even better if I could find a big bear wife and live together together.

This small wish seems quite simple at first glance, but for a ninja like Kikutaro who was born in Shiranui... this wish is simply an extravagant wish that he dare not even think about.

Kikutaro was an abandoned baby who was picked up and brought back to Shiranui, and was trained as a ninja from an early age.

A ninja born in Shiranui, wants to live a normal life?

Just saying this kind of thing is enough to make people laugh...

Kikutaro didn't have the courage to defect to Shiranui, so he could only stay in Shiranui and serve Enma.

But things took a turn for the better in the fall of last year.

Ogata teamed up with Gourdiya and defeated Shiranui.

After being destroyed in Shiranui, Kikutaro was lucky enough to survive the attacks of Ogata and Gourdiya. The first thing he felt... was confusion about the future.

Kikutaro, who has been learning Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu since he was a child, has no other special skills except ninjutsu.

Now that Shiranui is gone, how will he make a living in the future?

But - while feeling confused, Kikutaro also felt a bit...expected towards the future.

Without the constraints of Shiranui, will I be able to live a more peaceful and comfortable life in the future?

Unfortunately, before he had time to fully appreciate this confusion and expectation, he was found by someone sent by Toyotomi to investigate "what happened in Shiranui" and was caught in front of Toyotomi.

After telling Toyotomi everything he knew about "the truth about the destruction of Shiranui", Toyotomi extended an olive branch to him and invited him to become a member of the Toyotomi clan.

At first, when he received the olive branch offered to him by Toyotomi, Kikutaro wanted to refuse.

At that time, he did not know that the young man in front of him was a direct descendant of the Toyotomi clan. In his eyes at the time, these were a group of suspicious people with unknown origins and identities.

However - he didn't dare to refuse.

His identity at that time... to put it harshly, he was a prisoner of Toyotomi's subordinates.

Life or death, it all depends on Toyotomi's thoughts.

Kikutaro was very worried that when he said "I refuse", Toyotomi would directly "clean up" him as a person who did not want to be his subordinate.

Having been a ninja in Shiranui for so long, Kikutaro is used to seeing all kinds of darkness.

Therefore, Kikutaro, who was worried that Toyotomi would "clean up" him, could only bite the bullet and nodded, expressing his willingness to do his best for Toyotomi.

After being destroyed in Shiranui with Kikutaro, there were a total of 18 "former Shiranui ninjas" who joined Toyotomi's command, including Kikutaro.

Among these 18 people, Kikutaro has the highest status and is the only Jonin among the 18 people. Therefore, he has become a kind of existence similar to "the representative of Shiranui's remnant party" and can represent Shiranui at certain meetings.

Although Kikutaro is a jounin, he is completely incompatible with the "ninjutsu master".

His talents are as ordinary as his desires.

Even though he has received rigorous training since childhood, Kikutaro's strength can only be described as "not outstanding".

In terms of strength, compared with other jounin in Shiranui, he is completely at the bottom. Only the level of "Shiranui-ryu Stealth Technique" can be ranked at the forefront of Shiranui.

The reason why he became a jounin was entirely due to his "Shiranui-ryu Stealth Technique", which was the only outstanding one, and his all-rounded character.

At first, Kikutaro mistakenly thought that Toyotomi was probably the leader of some smuggling group, because according to what he discovered, Toyotomi's financial resources were quite astonishing.

It was not until later that Kikutaro knew: Toyotomi was not the leader of some smuggling group! He was the 9th generation head of the Toyotomi clan! He was running around and accumulating strength to overthrow the Edo shogunate and rebuild the Toyotomi shogunate.

Kikutaro's history and politics studies are not very good.

He didn't know whether it was feasible to overthrow the Edo shogunate, which had ruled Japan for two hundred years.

All he knew was that in order to complete this so-called "great cause", the term "narrow escape" was probably not enough to describe it.

After knowing Toyotomi's true identity and Toyotomi's ambition, Kikutaro felt...cowardly.

He didn't want to follow Toyotomi to complete this so-called "great cause" of narrow escape.

Moreover - Kikutaro has always had a very clear understanding of his identity in the Toyotomi clan.

He was sure that in the eyes of the Toyotomi clan, he was probably just a completely insignificant chess piece that could be discarded without hesitation...

Just a pawn that is better than nothing.

They were just the remnants of the destroyed Shiranui, and they had nothing to offer them. How could Toyotomi pay so much attention to them?

Before in Shiranui, he had the status of a Jonin and had a prominent status. Now in the Toyotomi clan, how high can he be, as a remnant of Shiranui, in terms of treatment and status?

Follow Toyotomi to rebuild Toyotomi's world... I'm afraid he will be discarded as consumables halfway through.

So——Since then, Kikutaro has been thinking about ways to escape from the Toyotomi clan.

While pretending to be loyal to Toyotomi and wanting to serve Toyotomi, he was secretly looking for a chance to escape.

Today, after being sent by Toyotomi to carry out the dirty work of "burning Mount Koya" and knowing what "Edo War" Toyotomi was going to launch, Kikutaro became even more convinced: they are just a bunch of insignificant consumables!

If you continue to follow Toyotomi, it will be as dangerous as possible. It is many times more dangerous than when you stayed in Shiranui!

Toyotomi, who firmly believed in "escape from Toyotomi", spared no effort to find opportunities to escape.

Feng Shui takes turns - this sentence has always been the truth in the world.

Unexpectedly - on the day when he was sent to carry out the curse of "burning Mount Koya", the opportunity came quietly.

As soon as the ship headed for Edo set sail, it was suddenly attacked by Ogata and others who were chasing after them.

The surprise attack by Ogata and others put both ships directly into a busy state of "highest combat readiness".

This gave Kikutaro the opportunity to escape that he had been looking for for so long.

The plan drawn up by Kikutaro is very simple: while everyone on the ship is busy fighting Ogata and others and has no time to pay attention, he will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the No. B ammunition depot of Nikki Maru, blow up the No. B ammunition depot, and further aggravate the situation.

The chaos of Nikkimaru.

And he took advantage of the moment when Nikki Maru became more confused and jumped into the sea to escape.

The ship is not yet far from the land. Although he is seasick, his water quality is very good. Even in such strong winds and waves, he is fully confident in swimming back to the shore.

There are two ammunition depots on the Nikki Maru: No. A ammunition depot and No. B ammunition depot.

The reason why I chose to detonate the latter instead of the former is because the ammunition stored in the latter is much less than that of the No. A ammunition depot, and the security is relatively less stringent.

It can be said that his plan was implemented extremely smoothly.

Although his body was very uncomfortable due to seasickness, he still managed to use his best "Shiranui-ryu stealth technique" to sneak into the No. B ammunition that was neglected because the crew was busy fighting against Ogata and others.

Inside the warehouse, the gunpowder in the No. B ammunition depot was detonated, exacerbating the chaos in Nikki Maru.

The chaos in Nikki Maru has intensified as Kikutaro expected. Next, he should jump into the sea to escape.

However, when Kikutaro reached the window that was large enough for him to enter and exit, and was about to jump into the sea...he hesitated.

The reason for his hesitation was also very simple - he was greedy.

When entering the No. B ammunition depot, Kikutaro saw rows of beautifully shiny flintlock guns.

Kikutaro never thought about taking anything from the ship when he jumped off the ship to escape from Nikki Maru. He just wanted to escape quickly.

However, after leaving the No. B ammunition depot, the shadows of the rows of flintlock guns lingered in Kikutaro's mind like ghosts that could not be shaken off.

In the end - these "shadows" turned into greed, and when Kikutaro was about to take steps to jump into the sea, he stopped Kikutaro.

Kikutaro, who was once a member of Shiranui, had dealt with many people running the black market.

Therefore, he knows what is a hugely profitable bestseller on the black market.

Muskets, especially Western muskets, are a popular commodity in the black market.
