A total of ten young and strong ninjas with intermediate ninjutsu, following Liu Shiba's secret order, lurked in various places as long-term guests.
After the ninjas obtained valuable information, Yagyu Munouchi was responsible for gathering it. After a little screening, he used a tamed messenger eagle to quickly return the information to Noda Castle.
However, is this loss ratio too serious?
After the ninjas take off their ninja uniforms and burrow into the crowd, they are almost the same as ordinary people except that they are stronger, because they are ordinary people themselves...
Don't engage in assassinations, don't go into dangerous places, don't fight head-on with the ashigaru brigade, just protect your own life, there will be no problem at all.
The question is, why are ten people missing in an apparently easy task?
According to Zong Wang: Are they all dead?
An ominous omen shrouded Liu Shiba's heart, causing ripples.
It's a pity that the ripples are not the momentary emotions between opposite sexes, but the heartbeat...
"How big is the difference between the missing chuunin and ordinary people?"
Liu Shiba turned his head and looked at Yagyu Shengzongwang and asked seriously.
Looking at Liu Shiba with a straight face, Yagyu Munwang counted his breaths with his fingers very seriously before responding:
"If a person who has obtained the title of lower-level ninja does not want to escape, but just wants to keep a few more people with him...
As long as he still has his last breath, it would not be unusual for him to fight ten or twenty before he dies."
Speaking of this, Yagyu Munwang paused, raised his head and stared into Liu Shiba's eyes, and explained word by word with a very positive expression:
"But when it comes to escaping, even if Ashigaru dispatches three thousand people, it's almost impossible to capture a single living ninja."
"Oh? So powerful..."
Liu Shiba stretched his neck, looked at Zong Wang with disbelief, and thought to himself, Zong Wang didn't even beat him in the first place?
"This is not the true level of a ninja, it's just a little skill.
Because if a ninja cannot win, he can still escape.
As long as you hide in a pre-arranged underground cave or other hidden place, it is very possible to go without food or drink for several months and finally leave safely."
"Zong Wang, after hearing what you said, there is indeed a problem.
Think about it, only three of the thirteen have returned, unless the city under investigation has been waiting for them to come..."
Liu Shiba turned his head and looked at Yagyu Munwang, secretly observing his reaction.
This is a habit that Liu Shiba has developed for a long time. By secretly observing a person's expression, he can get a glimpse of his inner structure.
Zongwang Yagyu turned his head to look at Liu Shiba, a trace of misery appeared on his face, and he sneered:
"Quack, quack, quack."
Liu Shiba's expression changed and he said in surprise:
"Zong Wang..."
"Lord!"
Yagyu Munewang choked up, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Of the three people who fled back to the family, two died that night, and only one survived, but he was also seriously injured."
"Um?"
Liu Shiba stood up suddenly and roared angrily:
"What a cruel method, killing everyone?"
A flash of lightning flashed across the heart of Liu Shiba, who was furious. He raised his hand and touched his chin, frowning and asked:
"I sent you to secretly inquire about the information. No third person knew about it. The losses were so heavy? It's very unusual..."
Yagyu Munewang stood up, nodded in agreement, and explained:
"That's right! The ninjas of the Yagyu family have never suffered such serious losses outside.
After two of the three people who came back by chance died, the remaining one's injuries were almost fatal.
However, the remaining one handed something to his subordinate before he passed out, and he was shocked after looking at it carefully...
So, my subordinates carefully inspected his wounds and found something that shocked them..."
Liu Shiba became nervous when he heard this. He looked left and right in the courtyard, listened for a few more breaths, and then turned back and asked in a low voice:
"What did he bring back?"
Yagyu Munou smiled strangely, turned over and ran towards the cherry blossom tree where he was hiding. He turned over three times to reach the top of the tree and took down an object wrapped in black cloth from above.
This thing is wrapped in black cloth and cannot be seen in detail, but it is about 1.56 meters long and slender. This is...
Liu Shiba took it, shook it open and said in shock:
