(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.

If he could steal a few muskets from Nikki Maru and sell them on the black market in the future... the money he would earn would be enough for him to not have to worry about money for more than ten years in the future.



Food, houses, beauties... Kikutaro vaguely saw these beautiful things, waving to him.

Everyone is like this. It is easy to have greed, but it is difficult to eliminate it.

Coerced by this increasingly intense greed, Kikutaro retracted his feet that were about to jump into the sea.

Yes, I have to think about the future. If I escape like this "cleanly", even if I finally succeed in escaping, I will be penniless and have a very difficult life in the future. I still have to get some money.

Just buy something valuable before running away - Kikutaro comforted and convinced himself.

When Kikutaro became greedy, Genichi and others happened to attack Nikki Maru at the same time, further exacerbating the chaos in Nikki Maru.

Seeing this, Kikutaro, who was tortured by greed and was indecisive, finally gritted his teeth after thinking about it again and again - found a remote and dark corner, hid in it, and waited to see what was going on.

Undecided, he set a multiple-choice question for himself:

If there is a tendency for order to gradually return after Nikki Maru, he will immediately jump into the sea and abscond.

If Nikki Maru becomes more and more chaotic due to the attack by Ogata and others... then go fish in troubled waters! Steal a few flintlock guns before leaving!

So, he just kept waiting.

Have been waiting until now.

Riki Maru was hit by the Gourd Pill, and almost all the crew members were busy repairing the big hole caused by the Gourd Pill. This unexpected major accident can be said to have made Kikutaro overjoyed.

The greed in my heart quickly expanded to its peak.

He no longer hesitated - he quickly escaped from his hiding place, used the "Shiranui-ryu Stealth Technique", and headed towards the location of the No. A ammunition depot at full speed!

The No. B ammunition depot has been destroyed. Kikutaro, who is determined to steal the gun, naturally has the only target he can choose is the No. A ammunition depot, which is still intact.

The No. A ammunition depot is located roughly in the middle of the Nikki Maru. Not only is the area much larger than the No. B ammunition depot, but it also stores overwhelmingly more ammunition than the No. B ammunition depot.

Kikutaro once heard that if all the gunpowder in the No. A ammunition magazine were detonated, most of the Nikki Maru would be destroyed.

Currently, most of the crew of the Nikki Maru are concentrated on the area that was hit by the Gypsy Maru, working hard to repair the damaged ship, making Kikutaro's "trip to the No. A ammunition depot" smooth.

Along the way, I met almost no people.

In a short time, Kikutaro arrived at the door of the No. A ammunition depot very smoothly.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Kikutaro saw many guards guarding the door of the ammunition depot.

——Two, four, six... There are 6 guards in total... There are more than expected...

After carefully counting the number of guards in front of the library gate, Kikutaro frowned slightly.

First Ogata, Genichi and others attacked, and then Gourd Maru hit the hull. Now Nikki Maru was in chaos, and the order was extremely chaotic.

There were even a small number of unsteady crew members who began to jump ship and escape after witnessing the fall of the Hulu Pill and the Hulu Pill crashing through the Riki Maru.

However - even though the order was in chaos and he was so busy that he wanted to use both of his legs, Kasuzu did not forget the defense work of the No. A ammunition depot.

Previously, when he learned that the No. B ammunition depot suddenly exploded, Kazuho vaguely realized that this must be a man-made explosion.

With the lessons learned from the past of the No. B ammunition depot, even though the current manpower is already stretched thin, Kazuho still left six musketeers to guard the No. A ammunition depot and guard against the approach of any suspicious persons.

If possible, Kazuho would like to leave a few more people to take care of the No. A ammunition depot, but it is really impossible to allocate more manpower.

No. A ammunition depot was being heavily guarded - Kikutaro had already expected this, so he was not too surprised when he saw six guards in front of the No. A ammunition depot.

In just a moment, Kikutaro thought of a countermeasure.

Kikutaro cleared his throat gently, took several deep breaths, and took out a set of clothes from his arms.

For the convenience of management and for the sake of appearance, all the crew members on the Nikki Maru and Hyundai Maru are dressed in the same uniform - a brown kimono on the upper body and a black hakama on the lower body.

The set of clothes that Kikutaro was holding in his hands at this time was an important "contributor" that helped him successfully detonate the No. B ammunition depot.

Gu Liang

When Kikutaro planned to detonate the No. B ammunition depot, the Nikki Maru was not as chaotic as it is now.

Therefore, in order to facilitate his infiltration, Kikutaro managed to get a set of crew clothes and disguised himself as a crew member of the ship, and then successfully infiltrated the No. B ammunition depot.

At this moment, this suit of clothes once again comes into use.

Kikutaro quickly put on the crew's clothes, and put on an anxious look on his face, then ducked out of hiding, and hurriedly ran towards the 6 people in front of the No. A ammunition depot.

A guard.

"Pass the order! Pass the order!" Kikutaro shouted.

As soon as the shouting ended, the six guards quickly turned their vigilant eyes solemnly to Kikutaro, who was running towards them with a roar.

"Kazuho-sama sent me to give you an order! The six of you hurry up to the open deck and reinforce Toyotomi-sama!"

Among the six guards, the leader, a strong man with a birthmark on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Six of us?"

"Yes. The battle situation on the open deck is very pessimistic." Kikutaro said seriously, "Master Kazuho requires you to rush to the exposed deck immediately..."

I only heard half of what Kikutaro said——

Whizzing!

2 loud sounds broke through the air.

Kikutaro, who deliberately only said half of his words, suddenly touched his hands to his waist, grabbed a shuriken in each palm, and fired it towards the guards in front of him!

The guards who had been listening carefully to Kikutaro's orders were caught off guard by Kikutaro's surprise attack.

The two fired shurikens directly pierced the throats of the two guards farthest away from Kikutaro.

After killing two people in one breath, Kikutaro took out two shurikens from his lower back.

This time, Kikutaro did not throw the shuriken again, but jumped towards the living guards in front of him, holding the shuriken upside down and using it like a dagger.

The four guards who were still alive finally realized it and came to their senses. While shouting "enemy attack", they raised their flintlock guns and pointed them at Kikutaro.

Kikutaro's strength is average - he is only weaker compared to the other jounin in Shiranui.

If compared with ordinary people... Kikutaro's strength is simply not something ordinary people can compete with.

I saw Ikikutaro lowering his body, clinging to the ground, ducking in front of the guard closest to him, swiping his right hand forward, and slitting the man's throat with his shuriken, then turning back and slashing open the man's throat.

Another person's belly, stomach, intestines and other organs were leaked all over the floor.

Bang! Bang!

2 gunshots burst out.

The last two surviving musketeers finally had time to shoot, but the bullets they fired only hit the deck where Kikutaro had just been standing.

Kikutaro twisted his body like a snake and dodged to the side before the two men fired.

The reason why he had just disguised himself as a crew member and got close to them was so that he could easily deal with their muskets.

As long as the distance is shortened, it will be much easier to observe their shooting movements and directions, to dodge easily, or to deal with the shooter.

Whizzing!

Kikutaro throws 2 more shurikens.

With the dull sound of two sharp knives entering flesh, there was finally no one around except Kikutaro who could still stand properly.

"Huh... not bad... it went smoother than expected." The corners of Kikutaro's mouth curved up with a pleasant smile.

As soon as the corners of Kikutaro's mouth curved into a pleasant curve, a hint of pain appeared in his brows.

--Well……

He raised his hands and rubbed his temples.

He felt dizzy as if his head had hit the wall, and thought to himself:

——I feel so dizzy...I feel like vomiting again...

——Did the experience during the battle just now worsen the symptoms of seasickness again...

——Ugh... I feel so uncomfortable... My head is buzzing...

Kikutaro took several deep breaths in one breath before he felt his body became slightly more comfortable.

Then, not daring to delay any further, he quickly looked around and after confirming that there were no other enemies around, Kikutaro carefully unscrewed the door of the ammunition depot, pulled out a gap large enough for him to enter and exit alone, and ducked in.

As soon as he entered the ammunition depot, the scene inside the ammunition depot made Kikutaro's eyes widen, and greedy light burst out from his pupils.

Rows of flintlock guns are neatly arranged in the ammunition depot, which is quite spectacular.

——How much money does it cost to buy so many Nanman iron cannons?

Kikutaro couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——If all the Nanman iron cannons on this ship were sold...hiss...the wealth obtained would probably exceed the annual fiscal revenue of some small vassal states...

——Forget it, it’s better not to have such unrealistic daydreams! Take a few away quickly and get out of the way!

After suppressing these unrealistic fantasies in his mind, Kikutaro ran to the rows of flintlock guns in three steps and began to select iron cannons that were as brand-new as possible and could be sold at a higher price.

——Okay! Just take these 4 pieces!

Kikutaro carried four carefully selected flintlock guns behind his back.

——If you take too much, you won’t be able to carry it anymore.

A smile full of ecstasy spread across Kikutaro's cheeks.

——Four Nanman iron cannons... you can get at least 200 taels of gold on the black market.

——200 taels of gold...hehe...haha...

Kikutaro smiled happily in his heart.

In the eyes of Kikutaro at this time, these flintlock guns were not weapons for killing people.

But a piece of gold.

It is a symbol of "bright future".

Putting these four flintlock guns behind his back, Kikutaro couldn't help but dream about the beautiful days in the future when he would hold a lot of money.

——Well...I feel like vomiting more and more...My dizziness is getting worse...

——Okay, let’s go before your body becomes too uncomfortable... Huh?!

While Kikutaro was still imagining the future, suddenly - his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because at this moment...he suddenly heard - there was a subtle strange noise coming from behind him.

His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around——

Bang!

It exploded like a sound like a cork popping open from the mouth of a bottle.

Pain that seemed to tear his entire body apart spread from Kikutaro's flanks throughout his body.

"Hmm...!" The blood on his face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Kikutaro quickly raised his hand to cover his side... where blood was constantly spurting out.

He glanced down at his belly with timid eyes: the hole in his belly turned red in just a moment, the palm he used to block the hole.

"Hmm... the flintlock musket is really difficult to use. It can miss at such a short distance. It was clearly aimed at your chest, but it ended up hitting your belly... Anyway, that shot just now should have been...

It also smashed the internal organs in your belly."

Kikutaro, whose face was covered with cold sweat due to the severe pain in his abdomen, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the words spoken in a cold tone just now, looking towards the...

A figure wearing a cassock.

"Xianyuan...Master...?"





Nikki Maru, open-air deck——

"Drink!" Makimura held his Odachi with one hand and swung it like a windmill.

With just one swing, two enemies were knocked aside.

While wielding the knife with his right hand, his left hand was not idle either. He clenched his left hand into a fist, raised his fist as big as the mouth of a bowl, and swung it towards the other person beside him.

Makimura's strength is the strongest in the entire Huluwu, except for Genichi.

As long as he is willing, his fists and toes can become murderous weapons.

The moment his fist touched the enemy's face, the enemy's originally three-dimensional face immediately turned into a flat surface.

After following Mamiya and jumping to the Nikki Maru, he immediately followed Mamiya's deployment and split up with the Mamiya soldiers - Mamiya went to support Ogata, while he went to rescue the people who were being watched on the main mast.

Lin down.

At this moment, Makimura was fighting the five enemies who were responsible for guarding Lin.

On the open deck, Ogata and his team had a favorable location, and the presence of rain made the Toyotomi army's main weapon: the flintlock gun completely lose its effectiveness.

In just a few breaths, Makimura stopped seeing any enemies around Lin.

"Lord!" After finishing off the surrounding enemies, Makimura immediately leaned over and held Lin's shoulders, shaking her gently.

Lin was still unconscious, her hands still holding her two sabers tightly.

There are many scars visible on her body - these are all injuries she suffered when fighting Toyotomi just now.

Although there were many injuries on his body, his breathing was still steady and strong.

After confirming that Lin was fine, Makimura couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

While Makimura was rescuing Lin, Toyotomi, who was not far away, was watching all this with cold eyes.

"Are you a companion of Ogata Ittousai and Kinoshita Genichi..." Toyotomi, whose face was extremely gloomy, without changing his expression, pulled out the crossbow bolt that had just been shot by Mamiya and penetrated deeply into his right shoulder, "You really know how to do it.

Show up at the right time..."

Makimura is rescuing Lin - Toyotomi naturally cannot remain indifferent to this matter.

But - he couldn't move to stop it.

Ogata...is in front of him now.

With Ogata present, and with Ogata staring at him, it was impossible for him to have the energy to act rashly.

At this moment, Makimura has successfully rescued Lin, and Mamiya has also thrown away the crossbow tool for shooting airborne crossbows, pulled out Vairocana, quickly ran to Ogata's side, and completed the battle with Ogata.

Convergence.

"...Genichi-sama, have you injured any internal organs?" As soon as he came to Ogata's side, Mamiya cast a serious look at Genichi who was being supported by Ogata, and looked at Genichi and him.

The chest was simply bandaged.

"The internal organs were not injured much. Only a lot of blood flowed." He was obviously scarred now, and he had just walked through the hell gate, but Yuan Yi still looked like an old naughty boy who didn't know what trouble was, and he laughed,

He said wisely, "I'll have to drink more wine from now on to replenish my blood."

Ogata had many things to say to Mamiya and Makimura, who arrived in time and helped him a lot.

I would like to thank them for arriving in time.

I want to complain about their feat of driving a gourd pill and ramming directly into it.

However, the outcome of the battle with Toyotomi has not yet been completely decided, so Ogata has no time to chat with Mamiya and the others.

"...Mamiya. You are here just in time." Ogata, whose eyes were fixed on Toyotomi and had been monitoring all Toyotomi's actions, said directly and seriously, "Mamiya, listen to me carefully."

"Master Geng is now seriously injured, and Miss Lin is in a coma. The two of them...especially Master Gen, need to leave the battlefield immediately for treatment."

"Let the two of them stay here... regardless of the delay in treatment, it might lead to something like 'Yuan Yiyi being kidnapped' happening again."

"So - you and Makimura, take Miss Lin and Mr. Genichi out of here now. Such a large battleship should have several small boats for escape."

"Leave?" A hint of surprise appeared on Mamiya's eyebrows, "...don't you need us to stay and help?"

Ogata smiled slightly: "Mamiya, you must have noticed it, right? The guy in front of us with a purple-handled sword is Toyotomi Nobhide."

"With this guy as our opponent... we can't increase our advantage simply by adding more people."

"Too many people staying here... will only give this guy more opportunities to take hostages."

After saying that, Ogata put away the faint smile he showed just now, his expression returned to seriousness, he once again pulled out his great freedom, and re-established the posture of Wuwo Sword Style.

"move."

"I'll see you on the coast later."
