Soon, Kondo Yuichi took advantage of the fact that Hattori Hanzo was sick and needed to take medicine. He poisoned the medicine and killed Hattori Hanzo. Then, he burned down the place where Hattori Hanzo was, including everyone and the house. Get rid of all Hattori Hanzo's men. Then lie to the outside world that Hattori Hanzo is living in seclusion to recuperate.
Only a few people who had the tokens were able to escape. They lived in seclusion in remote mountain villages and did not dare to show their faces.
It's just that Kondo Yuichi ignored it at the time and didn't look for the token. This gave Mochizuki Kaede a chance today.
After Kondo Yuichi went to China, news of discord within the Kikusui Club soon spread. After Hattori Hanzo's subordinates heard about it, they felt that the time might have come, so they went out for public activities. As a result, they were quickly found by Mochizuki Kaede.
"What are you going to do next?"
"I follow Hattori Hanzo-sama's last wish. I will take everyone back to live a quiet life. I will never set foot in China again." Mochizuki Kaede was originally unwilling to go to war with China. This trip to China caused heavy losses to the ninjas. It is necessary to withdraw the troops at the right time. Best option: "Hopefully we will meet again in the future."
"If we meet later, it will only be in Japan."
"Yes." Wang Yuefeng smiled, reluctantly forgetting to look at Ling Cang, and left with the ninja.
Tong Zhengrong tried his best to search but could not find Yuichi Kondo. However, as a member of the Kikusui Club, Mochizuki Feng knew where the old fox was hiding and rushed over immediately.
"Mochizuki Kaede. I didn't expect that you still have the nerve to come back." Kondo Yuichi raised his eyes and looked at Mochizuki Kaede. He said coldly: "But this is fine. I don't need to go back to Japan to catch you. I can just enforce the rules here. .”
Without waiting for Yuichi Kondo's orders, several Koka ninjas rushed over and surrounded Mochizuki Kaede.
"The rules of the association must be implemented. But the object is not me, but you." Mochizuki Feng slowly raised the sword and shouted sternly: "Here is Hattori Hanzo's token. Who dares to be so presumptuous..."
Shinobi Koga was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down in front of Mochizuki Kaede. To them, Hattori Hanzo's status was higher than that of Kondo Yuichi. It can also be said that they only recognized Hattori Hanzo and not Kikusui Kai. Then... I He Ren rushed in and knelt down behind Wang Yuefeng.
When Kondo Yuichi saw this scene, he understood immediately: "You have found Hattori Hanzo."
"That's right. Mr. Kondo, what else do you have to say."
"There's nothing to say." Yuichi Kondo smiled coldly and admitted frankly: "I killed Hattori."
Before Mochizuki Kaede returned to China, she had contacted several jounin privately, so the Iga ninja had been mentally prepared for this incident. The Koga ninja were all stunned. Several ninjas turned around and asked in surprise: "Why did Kondo-sama do this?"
"For the great cause of the empire. For the future of our Yamato nation." Kondo Yuichi stood up slowly and said arrogantly with his face raised: "Hattori-sama is short-sighted. He has forgotten the historical mission of our Kikusui-kai and foolishly tried to make peace with the Chinese. So Kondo I can only clean up the door."
"Clean up the house..." Mochizuki Feng looked at Kondo Yuichi. His body was shaking slightly with anger: "For killing comrades in the association, according to the rules of the association, one must commit seppuku. Lord Kondo does not dare to take responsibility. Do you still want to make false accusations..."
"No." A sliding door next to it suddenly opened. Miyamoto Tanzaki slowly walked out: "Getting rid of Hattori Hanzo was decided by the leaders of the association together. It was not Kondo-sama's own decision. So, this is true. It’s to clean up the house. It’s just to save the face of you ninjas so it’s not made public.”
"So you already knew." Mochizuki Feng looked at Miyamoto Tanzaki and said word for word: "Of course you won't tell us the truth. Otherwise, would we still work for you..."
"What you said is too arrogant." Miyamoto Tanzaki slowly shook his head: "Although Kikusui will always pay attention to you ninjas, both the Iga ninja and the Koga ninja are just a force. In other words, you must not think that Kikusui will leave you."
"What do you mean..." Mochizuki Feng had an ominous premonition in his heart. He immediately took a step back. At the same time, he loudly ordered the ninja: "Retreat."
"It's too late." Miyamoto Tetsaki clapped his hands twice. The walls on both sides suddenly burst open, and more than thirty people rushed in.
These people were wearing gray kimonos and tall hats. They were holding black spears in their hands. They were arranged in two neat rows, sandwiching the ninja in the middle.
"Grand Priest." Mochizuki Feng took a breath: "It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time. You want to eliminate us ninjas."
"All priests, listen..." Miyamoto Tessaki ignored Mochizuki Kaede. Instead, he coldly ordered: "The ninjas who have rebelled must be killed. No one will be spared."
Before Miyamoto Tetsaki could finish his words, Priest Omiko's spear pierced straight towards him. Several ninja soldiers were caught off guard and their bodies were pierced on the spot. Mochizuki Kaede waved his umbrella and broke the two spears, dragging up an injured companion. .Retreat outside: "Retreat. Retreat all. Don't fight forcefully!"
At the same time, shouts of death rang out from everywhere. Miyamoto Tanzaki had already made arrangements. The purge of ninjas began at this time. Mochizuki Kaede commanded the ninjas to break through with all their strength. After paying a heavy price, they finally broke through the encirclement and succeeded. Escape far away.
Kondo Yuichi and Miyamoto Yuichi sat there all the time, closing their eyes slightly and listening quietly to the sounds of fighting outside. Until everything gradually calmed down, Kondo Yuichi sighed softly: "It's almost over..." "
"It seems so." Miyamoto Tetsaki nodded slightly: "After all, Iga Koga has made great contributions to the Kikusui Society. It's not easy to kill them all. Let's just forget about it..."
"Miyamoto-sama always has the kindness of a woman. If you let me make the decision, I will definitely catch all these traitors." Before Miyamoto Tsusaki could say anything, Kondo Yuichi smiled sadly: "But what about me... …I could give up everything for the great cause of the empire, but I didn’t expect that I would suffer a series of setbacks in China.”
"Is this... Kondo-sama, there is no need to worry about it. Don't the Chinese people have a saying... Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists."
"This is an excuse made by the cowardly and incompetent Chinese for themselves. Our brave Japanese people should not be like this." Kondo Yuichi said while slowly taking off his kimono: "Since Kondo failed, he should bear the failure. Responsibility……"
Kondo Yuichi's abdomen was wrapped in dense white bandages. It was very thick and looked a bit like armor. Miyamoto Tsusaki took a look and immediately frowned: "Did you have a caesarean section..."
"good."
"when."
"When I learned that the operation failed." Kondo Yuichi untied the bandage and took it down in circles. The bandage at first was pure white, but soon, the bandage inside showed blood. As the bandage circled around The ring fell off, and the blood stains became heavier and heavier. In the end, the bandages inside were completely stained with blood. A strong smell of blood filled the whole room.
Miyamoto Tetsaki took a deep breath. Then he slowly exhaled: "Kondo-sama, you are a true samurai."
Japanese people have many methods of caesarean section, but no matter which one, most of them just look scary. Cesarean section certainly requires a certain amount of courage, but before that, they usually drink a lot of alcohol to paralyze their nerves and spirit. In addition. When the knife pierces the abdomen, someone will immediately cut off the head. This is called a mistake. Therefore, the person who has a laparotomy will not actually feel much pain.
The method used by Kondo Yuichi is different from other laparotomy methods. It is a very extreme method of concealing the abdomen. It is said to have been created by Sen no Rikyu, a subordinate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In other words, the abdomen is cut open with a knife beforehand, and then bandaged. When necessary, he commits suicide. When the time comes, let go of the wound and let it bleed to death.
The Hidden Belly Method requires not only courage, but also great endurance and perseverance. You must be able to endure severe pain for a long time, but always remain calm and do not show any abnormalities.
Generally speaking, someone will adopt this method only if he knows in advance that he will be killed or ordered to commit suicide. The purpose is to humiliate his opponent and prove that he committed suicide rather than being defeated by anyone. Or it is like Yuichi Kondo. This is used to prove to others that one has indeed taken responsibility for the failure.
However, even in Japan, where seppuku is common, there are very few people who have dared to use the hidden belly method throughout the ages. By doing so, Kondo Yuichi can no longer blame anyone for his previous failures. He can only admire him for truly inheriting the spirit of Bushido. .
Although he will die, Kondo Yuichi hopes to die with honor instead of being accused of having a caesarean section due to incompetence.
When the last bandage was taken off, a long wound suddenly appeared on Kondo Yuichi's abdomen. Blood spurted out from it. From the opened muscles and fat, the internal organs could still be seen faintly.
"Kondo-sama, why is this necessary..." Miyamoto Tsusaki let out a long sigh: "In the first battle of Apocalypse, Kikusui's vitality was severely damaged. Then in the second world war, we lost a lot of strength. In recent years, we have lost a lot of strength. In the past ten years, I have finally recovered somewhat. However, due to the overt and covert battles with the Illuminati and other organizations, I have continued to suffer losses. Now is the time to employ people. Mr. Kondo is such a wise man. It is really sad to leave like this..."
"I believe..." Kondo Yuichi's body shook and his face gradually turned pale: "Even without me, the empire's hegemony will definitely be achieved..."
Kondo Hiroshi didn't know when he came. He had been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping. When he found out that his father had had a caesarean section, he immediately broke in and knelt down in front of Kondo Yuichi with a plop: "Father, why did you do this? You can't just Leaving Haoer alone like this..."
"You are not alone. There are many comrades in the Kikusui Club." Kondo Yuichi looked at his son and said firmly: "Father failed. He should apologize by having a caesarean section. This is the consciousness that a samurai should have."
