It is December 14, 1506, in the year 1506 of the Hainan calendar.
Two twenty-six in the morning.
now.
Pairs of cold eyes were staring at the various gates of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the darkness.
The current 105th generation emperor of Japan, Emperor Nara, lives here.
Perhaps because of the fighting going on outside, the vigilance here has been significantly increased.
Groups of ashigaru wearing battle hats and holding cross spears patrolled back and forth along the wall.
A warrior with a long sword across his waist and armor covering his body was guarding both ends of the door.
From time to time, you can still see Onmyoji wearing white hunting clothes passing by.
The moonlight shining down is so cold and soft.
But there was always a serious and murderous atmosphere in the air.
"Captain, the entire palace is covered by a square barrier. Although the specific effect is unknown, there is a high probability that it has the ability to sense!"
The roof of a building one kilometer south of Jianli Gate.
A Hyuga ninja with pale eyes and bulging veins at the corners of his eyes looked at the Kyoto Imperial Palace and reported to the three teammates behind him.
"In other words, the possibility of infiltration is very low."
The Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, who had long orange-red hair reaching his waist, put down the military binoculars in his hands and said in a deep voice.
"There are many monsters in this world. The barrier should be used to prevent them, but now it has become an obstacle to us."
In fact, he was also guessing that the barrier might only be effective on monsters.
After all, those warriors and Lingzu were obviously not affected in any way.
But there is no room for trial and error at this time.
"In this case, we can only attack by force."
Just as the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon was murmuring in a low voice, the voice of another leading jounin sounded in the headset.
"Xiguashan Ninja, this is the Moonlight Team from the east. Please launch an offensive at Jianlimen and Chengmingmen in ten minutes to threaten the Zichen Palace."
"At the same time, the Ueno team in the west will cooperate with you to attack Yiqiu Gate and threaten the small imperial palace. The movement must be loud to attract the enemy guards."
"In five minutes, our team will attack the Imperial Palace, and the Minamiqi team in the north will raid the Queen's Palace. No matter what the result is, everyone must evacuate in the thirty minute!"
Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost Castle has a deep character and a calm character.
Although the other party was a Jonin like himself, he still listened patiently to the instructions.
After all, as a ninja, completing the mission must be your first priority no matter what.
Of course, the premise is that the command is reasonable.
"Okay, I understand." Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost agreed.
Just as he lowered his head to look at his watch, another elite chunin beside him asked in a low voice:
"Captain, why are we here to assassinate the emperor of this world?"
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost raised his eyes and warned.
"What the adults above think has nothing to do with us ninjas!"
The other party smiled awkwardly: "Uh hey, yes, I understand."
Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost didn't pursue any further questions and began to give instructions on the next battle plan.
Four minutes passed in a blink of an eye.
"action!"
Although it had not yet reached five minutes, the distance of one kilometer would be almost enough by the time they reached Jianli Gate.
"Psychic art!"
The elite chuunin who asked before bit his thumb immediately.
Then he quickly formed a seal with his hands on his chest, drawing out a series of afterimages.
【Bang!】
When his palm suddenly hit the roof tiles, as circles of mantras spread, a large cloud of thick white smoke burst out, instantly submerging him in it.
And this time.
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon has already led two other ninjas to rush out and quickly approach the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
A giant brown python about thirty meters tall appeared domineeringly from the billowing smoke, overwhelming the house.
As soon as it appeared, it roared ferociously towards the bright moon in the night sky.
The sound was so loud that it turned into sound waves that vibrated the air.
The elite chuunin who summoned it stood on top of the snake's head and overlooked the entire city of Kyoto.
It's just that his appearance has obviously changed.
Not only did turquoise snake scales appear on the edges of the corners of the eyes, but the pupils also turned into cold vertical pupils.
This is the Immortal Mode he practiced using the 'Longdi Cave Snake Venom'.
Because of this, he was promoted from the original elite genin to an elite chuunin two levels in a row.
If you put this in the former ninja world, you would be a serious jounin!
at the same time.
A cloud of white smoke also exploded in the west side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
I saw a giant rhinoceros breaking through the smoke, smashing into all the houses along the way, and rushing towards Yiqiu Gate with great force.
Every step it takes while running makes a huge vibration sound.
The city of Kyoto in the middle of the night felt like it was suddenly awakened.
Shouts and screams kept coming one after another.
Naturally, the first to react were the guards of the Emperor's Imperial Palace.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"The monster appears!"
Warriors everywhere drew their swords and shouted, ordering their subordinates to form formations immediately.
Although they didn't know why two such big monsters suddenly appeared in the city.
But when I thought that this was Kyoto, with not only complete barriers but also a large number of onmyojis stationed there, I became less panicked.
Unexpectedly, just when their eyes were attracted by huge snakes and rhinoceros.
The pufferfish ghost from Xiguashan suddenly rushed to Jianli Gate with a shark in his hand.
Without giving the few lightfoots guarding here any time to react, they were chopped into pieces of bloody and bloody stumps in the blink of an eye.
Two other ninjas.
One is from the Hyuga clan, and the other is from the former Sand Hidden Village. They are good at wind escape. They have also solved their respective targets and climbed over the wall to enter the palace.
The three of them began to take out pill-shaped "Yuxuan explosives" and throw them at the approaching reinforcements.
[Boom boom boom boom——]
In an instant, fires rose, explosions occurred one after another, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the screams of Lightfoot and the warriors resounded throughout the entire place.
At the same time, they are also looking for traces of Onmyoji.
According to the intelligence, they are the extraordinary beings in this world, and they need to be killed first to buy time for the giant snake to create greater chaos.
Soon, the giant snake arrived, mammothly ran over the Jianli Gate, and crashed into the Chengming Gate with blue bricks and red columns.
【Boom!!!】
Sure enough, a barrier glowing with white light appeared out of thin air in front of the door, preventing the giant snake from taking another step forward.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost did not hesitate and immediately tried to pass by the wall next to the door.
It went smoothly. The barrier did not stop him, but a large rain of arrows hit him.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost didn't care.
He didn't even bother to use ninjutsu and just swung his sword with Samehada, generating a strong wind that swept away all the arrows.
I feel relieved now.
The barrier seems to only target monsters and giant beasts.
In this way, Moonlight Shower's actions would have one less obstacle.
All they need to do here is feint to attract attention.
By the way, let’s learn about Onmyoji’s fighting style.
the other side.
Just when the giant snakes and giant rhinoceros kept attacking the barrier from the south to the west, causing bursts of roaring.
Four ninjas quietly climbed over the city wall and entered the Imperial Pond.
This is actually the back garden of the palace, a standard Japanese garden with lakes, bridges, forests and hills.
According to the map.
Their target was the Gojo Palace in the north, where the emperor lived daily.
Further north is the Queen's Changyu Palace and the harem where other concubines live.
The four people turned into afterimages in the dark night, passing through the woods on the lake at high speed, but there was no movement during the whole process.
It wasn't until he arrived at the outskirts of the Imperial Palace that he stopped and secretly observed the situation inside and outside.
Although the fighting outside was very lively, the samurai and onmyoji guarding here showed no intention of moving.
However, the moonlight shower uses the clairvoyance function of the ‘vessel. Clairvoyance’ in the hand.
After confirming that Emperor Nara was inside, he had been awakened.
A stern look flashed in Yueguang Xiyu's eyes. While holding the handle of the knife behind his back, he shouted an order: "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer hid his figure and aura, and took the lead in rushing towards the onmyoji he was targeting.
"Who?!"
The onmyoji dressed in white sensed the danger, but just as he was about to take out his talisman to deal with it, the light of the sword had already passed through his body.
[Pfft————]
The owl's head was splattered with blood on the spot, and soon, the sound of killing enveloped the entire Kyoto Imperial Palace!
That night, the emperor died, the queen died, the entire palace backyard was filled with blood, and there were scattered corpses everywhere.
Eight ninjas actually killed the entire Japanese royal family, as well as the samurai and onmyoji who guarded them, within fifteen minutes.
The current eleventh generation head of the Hanakain clan, Akiya, led dozens of onmyoji from the clan to the scene.
Only one giant snake that could not be recalled in time was eliminated.
