I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Kondo’s "sanding" attack can only be regarded as half the success.

　　 Nagano raised his hand in time to block all the gravel that Kondo had scattered, and no dust hit his eyes.

While Kondo yelled excitedly, "Have you experienced the power of'Ogata Ryu'?", while jumping without any run-up and cutting towards Kondo, Nagano snorted coldly, kicked his feet, and moved back. With a light jump, he jumped out of the range that Kondo's knife could cut.

　　 So it's no surprise-Kondo's knife was slashed to the side, only cutting through the air.

　　 Kondo’s "Ogata Ryu" was easily broken by Nagano.

　　 Looking at Kondo, who was obviously smug just now, Ogata's mouth twitched and his brows frowned uncontrollably.

　　 Kondo may have failed to make accurate judgments because he was too proud and too excited.

　　 The knife he just swung, there were too many extra moves and moves that shouldn't be done.

　　 For example-Kondo shouldn't choose jump cut just now. Instead, he should take a step forward and then take a stab. This will remove a lot of unnecessary movements and reduce physical consumption.

　　 If Kondo had just chosen to take a step forward and a straight stabbing, that Nagano might have been stabbed down by Kondo.

　　 Kondo didn't seem to think that Nagano would be able to avoid his cut, so he was surprised.

　　 But the color of horror disappeared immediately after Kondo appeared for a meeting.

　　 At the moment when the color of the error dissipated, Kondo stretched out his left hand and touched the pocket sewn to the hakama.

　　 Until now, Ogata discovered that the hakama on Kondo's lower body seemed to have been modified.

　　 There are two things like trouser pockets sewn on both sides of the waistband.

　　 bulging, as if there is something in it.

　　 "Ah! Look! A bird **** is about to fall on your head!"

　　 Kondo yelled like this, and took out the left hand that had just been inserted into the left trouser pocket.

　　 Kondo grabbed a handful of sand from his left trouser pocket...

　　——Did you guys still carry sand with you? !

　　 Okata almost yelled like this.

　　 The moment he took out the sand in his left trouser pocket, Kondo slammed the sand into Nagano's face.

　　 Kondo’s throwing sand is simple and powerful.

　　 is like practicing many times...

　　 Nagano never expected that Kondo would even have a combo.

　　 just put down the sand and gravel that Kondo had previously used to block his left hand, and saw a handful of sand hitting his face with more sand than before...

　　 This time, Nagano failed to block the second wave of "Ogata Ryu" performed by Kondo...

　　 The sand hit Nagano's face heavily, covering most of Nagano's face.

　　 Before Nagano could even scream, he felt a muffled pain in his chest.

　　 Even though his eyes cannot see things right now, Nagano can roughly guess what happened—Kondo's chest was chopped off.

　　 Ogata feels very sorry now.

　　 It is a pity that he does not have a mirror at hand now.

　　 If there is a mirror, he really wants to use this mirror to see his current expression.

　　 The expression must be more exciting than ever.

　　 Just saw Kondo pull out the sand from his obviously homemade trouser pocket, Ogata was dumbfounded.

Especially when I saw Kondo throwing out this handful of sand that he carried with him, I did not forget to say "a bird **** is about to fall on your head" to "mentally disturb" Nagano, Ogata's mouth All uncontrollably stretched into an "O" shape.

　　 is actually not just Ogata.

　　 Everyone on the scene, including the referee, watched them dumbfounded after seeing Kondo played this set of unstoppable moves.

　　 Many people present have seen many types of trials.

　　 But it was the first time they saw each other in a trial match like this...

　　 The first thing to recover from the state of "stunned" was the 6 diners from Nagano who came to Edo with him.

　　 Nagano has a sword museum in Dewa area that teaches the Ono school of swordsmanship. There are many diners.

　　 This time, when he headed south to Edo, Nagano also brought six of the diners from his dojo.

　　 After seeing that Nagano, who was considered half of their master, was brought down by Kondo with "Ogata-ryu", the 6 diners of Nagano first recovered from the state of shock, rushed to the court and divided into two waves.

　　 A wave of people helped Nagano get rid of the dust on his face.

　　 Another wave of people scolded Kondo angrily.

　　 "Are you still a samurai? You attacked?!"

　　 "Blind people's eyes with sand, you can make such a despicable trick!"

　　……

　　 These rants from the diners woke up the referee not far away.

　　 The first sentence that the referee came back to was: "Hey! What are you doing?! How can there be a sneak attack by digging out the sand?!"

　　 These words from the referee were clearly addressed to Kondo.

　　 The referee also joined the ranks of scolding Kondo.

　　 "Huh?" Kondo looked at the referee.

　　 Kondo's expression at this time is like hearing someone say "Shit is delicious".

　　 "What's wrong with throwing sand?" Kondo asked back, "I have carefully studied the rules of martial arts tests. There is no prohibition on throwing sand in your rules."

　　 "When fighting with people, victory is the most important thing."

　　 Kondo changed into an old-fashioned tone.

　　 "As long as you can win."

　　 Kondo’s remarks sounded handsome and convincing, but they failed to convince the referee at all.

　　 The noise made by Kondo attracted some high-level officials.

　　 A group of officials got together and discussed how to define Kondo’s victory or defeat.

　　 Kondo’s remarks just now didn’t actually pick out what’s wrong—because their martial arts test rules did not say “it is forbidden to throw sand”.

　　Because this is the first time to hold the "Prince Test Combination", it is very inexperienced, so there are quite a few omissions in the drafted rules.

　　 After some not too intense, very brief discussions, the officials decided-Nagano won and Kondo lost.

　　 After receiving this result, Kondo was full of dissatisfaction.

　　 "Wait! Why sentence me to lose!"

　　 "Because we can't tolerate the existence of this kind of sneak attack on the opponent." A potbellied official said sternly, "So we temporarily supplemented the rule-it is forbidden to use hidden weapons and objects with the same effect as hidden weapons to attack opponents."

　　 "Huh? Temporary changes to the rules? What is this?!" Kondo's eyes opened wide.

　　 Ogata was not surprised by the fact that Kondo was directly convicted.

　　 After all, the government would definitely not agree that "throwing sand into the opponent's face" appeared in "The Imperial Examination."

　　If everyone learns everything, and then they bring a handful of sand to attack the enemy, then this martial arts test will change from a competition who is stronger to whose sand is more accurate...

　　 Kondo still wants to fight with reason and dying to struggle for a while.

　　 It's a pity that the officials are no more than Kondo.

　　 So, this trial match between Kondo and Nagano ended in Nagano's victory.

　　 It is worth mentioning that Nagano is quite demeanor.

After wiping off the sand on his face, 　　 did not furiously scold Kondo for despicableness, but said to Kondo with an attitude of hating iron but not steel: "Young man! Be honorable in your life! Must be samurai!"

　　Today's martial arts test lasted until dusk before it ended.

　　 In addition to having a short break at noon, I was beating uninterrupted in the morning and afternoon.

　　 Although occasional episodes appear, today's martial arts trial is a successful conclusion.

　　 At the end of today’s martial arts test, a famous official announced to everyone that he had successfully screened out half of the participants. Those who defeated their opponents today, remember to be there on time tomorrow.

　　 sifted out half of the people-that is, everyone played a game, and half of the winners and half of the losers appeared.

　　 Four hundred people were reduced to two hundred people.

　　 After the officials announced that today's martial arts test was over, Kondo walked on the way back to Edo with a face full of displeasure.

　　 "Kondo." As soon as Kondo left the martial arts test site, a young samurai who was about the same age as Kondo rushed towards Kondo, "Would you like to go back together?"

　　 "No." Kondo shook his head, "I'm in a bad mood, I plan to have two drinks first."

　　 "That's it..." The young samurai named Kondo smiled wryly, "Well, then, I'll go ahead."

　　 After bidding farewell to his friend, Kondo walked alone on his way back to Edo.

　　As soon as he returned to Edo city from the outskirts, Kondo quickly turned on a highway that he had walked on for many times, and stepped into an izakaya.

　　 "Aya!" As soon as he entered this izakaya, Kondo yelled, "2 bottles of sake!"

　　 "Oh, you are here, Kondo." A young girl walked out of the izakaya kitchen holding a dinner plate.

　　 "Yes." Kondo found a spot casually, took off the saber on his waist and placed it aside, "Hurry up and bring the wine, I am in a bad mood today, I plan to get drunk."

　　 Aya: "What happened? Did a senior bully you?"

　　 "Not at all." Kondo smiled bitterly, "What the **** am I doing today... It's not convenient to say, please bring the wine soon."

　　 "Good, good, good." Aya returned to the kitchen holding the plate.

　　 Before long, two bottles of sake appeared on Kondo's table.

　　 Kondo didn’t order any food to go with, so he ordered 2 bottles of wine, and then began to drink in that big mouth, expressing his inner resentment.

In places like 　　 izakaya, the business will slowly become prosperous at night.

　　 It is not until dusk, and few people are drinking in this izakaya.

　　 When Kondo was drinking and drinking, he suddenly felt the shadow on his hand darken.

　　 looked to the side-only six familiar young warriors were standing beside him, looking at him gloomily.

　　 Anyone who knows how to read the air can tell that these people are not good at coming.

　　 "What are you doing?" Kondo asked in a deep voice, while grabbing the saber next to him.

　　 The noise made by Kondo shocked the guests at other tables, as well as the waitress Aya who was working in the kitchen.

　　 The guests at the other tables, not wanting to be affected by the conflict between the samurai, hurriedly escaped from the pub.

　　Some are not surprised, and continue to calmly drink at their place.

　　 And Aya also ran out of the kitchen in a panic.

　　 Aya: "What happened?"

"...Aya, don't worry." Kondo said solemnly, "It's just as if someone came to me to seek revenge... I remember who the six of you are. You are the one from Nagano, right? Just this morning. I have seen your faces."

　　 "We are the diners of Nagano-sama." One of the six young samurai said, "Since you remember us, it will be easier."

　　 "Come outside with us. We don't want to disturb the business in this shop."

　　 Kondo looked at the six heads, and at the knives around the waists of the six people, Kondo's face showed a little hesitation.

　　 But after only hesitating for a few seconds, Kondo grabbed his saber firmly on his face and stood up.

　　 "Let's go."

　　 After that, Kondo took the lead and walked outside with the knife.

　　 Before Kondo was about to leave, Aya, the waitress of this izakaya, cast a worried look at Kondo.

　　 opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, Kondo said first:

　　 "Aya, I'll be back as soon as I go." Kondo Chong Aya smiled with a kind of honest smile as always, "Help me prepare two bottles of clear bar first. My original two bottles of wine are almost finished."

at the same time--

　　 "Shintaro-sama, Shintaro-sama."

　　 Hearing someone calling him, Shintaro slowly opened his eyes.

　　 opened his eyes and tilted his head to follow the voice, Shintaro saw the big face of Shintaro.

　　 Shintaro is one of the upper ninjas in Shiranui. Although it is only a rather inconspicuous one in the upper ninja, he has a good ability to do things, so he is quite relied on by Shintaro.

　　In this mission of "Capturing the Rebel who escaped from Edo", Shintaro was transferred to Shintaro's command and assisted Shintaro.

　　 "How?" Shintaro stood up slightly, "Did you ask anything from that vegetable shop?"

　　 Shintaro and Shintaro are now in an inconspicuous alley in Edo.

　　 Shintaro was standing just now, taking a nap against the wall of the alley.

　　 Years of going out and running, Shintaro has developed the skills to fall asleep even when standing.

　　 These days, Shintaro has been leading the subordinates given to him by the Flame Demon Sect to run around Edo, which has a population of one million, looking for the trace of the traitor.

　　The days of running around have long caused Shintaro to accumulate a lot of fatigue without knowing it.

　　 After ordering Shintaro to go to the tea house not far away to find out the information, Shintaro directly leaned against the wall of the alley and took a nap.

　　 Although I only slept for a short period of less than 5 minutes from beginning to end, this short sleep was enough for a ninja like Shintaro.

As soon as Shintaro's question fell, Shintaro smiled slightly:

　　 "I asked for useful information. About yesterday evening, a guy who fits the traits of that rebellious appearance came into the vegetable shop and bought two green onions."

"Is it..." Although it was good news, Shintaro remained unmoved, still showing a cold expressionless appearance, "Our nets are gradually tightening, and the betrayal should not be able to jump for long. Up."

　　 "Shintaro-sama." Shintaro asked, "please give me the next task."

　　 "No hurry." Shintaro said, "Those who can't escape, don't need to be so hurry. Let's take a rest now, Shintaro, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

　　 After that, Shintaro put his hand into his arms, and then took out two rice **** wrapped in lotus leaves.

　　 After opening the lotus leaf, Shintaro threw one of the rice **** to Shintaro.

　　 "Let's eat."

"Yes Yes!"

　　 Looking at the rice ball in his hand, Shintaro was full of excitement.

　　 After giving one of the two rice **** in his hand to Shintaro, Shintaro picked up the other rice ball and began to gnaw silently.

　　 Shintaro and Shintaro stood opposite each other, silently nibbling on the rice **** in each other's hands.

　　 Shintaro gnawed on the rice ball in his hand, and looked at Shintaro standing in front of him from time to time.

　　 Shintaro, who was standing opposite Shintaro, naturally felt the sight of Shintaro.

　　 "What are you doing?" Shintaro, who couldn't stand Shintaro's constant scrutiny of his behavior, asked in a deep voice, "Speak up if you have something."

　　 "...Sir Shintaro." After hesitating for a while, Shintaro took a deep breath, revealing a determined expression, "I... I hope you can actively strive for the position of the 18th-generation Eye Balrog."

　　 "I think only you are the most suitable person to be the next leader in Shiranui."

　　 Hearing these words of Shintaro, Shintaro's pupils, who always looked like Furui, shrank slightly.

　　 and Shintaro then continued:

　　 "Although it may be a bit rebellious to say that... the 17th generation Eye Balrog is so old, he shouldn't live long."

　　 "The next generation of Balrog will definitely choose one of you, Shuntaro-sama, and Gokutaro-sama."

　　 "Master Gokutaro is self-conscious and addicted to drinking. After moving to Edo from the base area, he has become more intensified and lingers in Yoshihara every day."

　　 "Although Shuntaro's strength is strong, I feel that he doesn't care about Shiranui. He has always been a nonchalant and high-hanging attitude towards all kinds of things in Shiranui."

　　 "And he did something like that 3 years ago... I have always doubted Shuntaro-sama's loyalty to us Shiranui."

　　 "Whether it is Lord Shitaro or Lord Shuntarou, I don't think they are qualified to be the 18th-generation Balrog..."

　　 "The only person who has the qualifications and the ability to sit in the position of the "Blaze Demon"... I think you are the only one, Shintaro-sama."

　　 Shintaro was serious, unable to find the slightest "joking" or "not serious" color.

　　 "What Shiranui needs now is a strategist who can lead all ninjas to gain a foothold among the thorny shogunate."

　　 "On strategy, on the grasp of the current situation, on the loyalty to Shiranui, Shintaro-sama, you are undoubtedly the head of the "Four Heavenly Kings"."

　　 "At that time, you also proposed to Lord Balrog to submit to the shogunate, become the ninja of the shogunate, and use the power of the shogunate to strengthen our strength."

　　 "I have always believed that-if Shintaro-sama can become the 18th generation of Balrog, we will be able to..."

Before Shintaro finished speaking, Shintaro interrupted aloud:

　　 "Okay, Shintaro, that's all for this topic."

　　 "...I'm sorry." Shintaro lowered his head to apologize.

　　 "For me, it doesn't matter who inherits Balrog's position."

　　 Shintaro said softly.

　　 "There is only one thing I care about from beginning to end-we don't know whether we can continue to survive in the fire and continue to grow."

　　 "As long as there is anyone who can let us survive in Shiranui and grow further. I am willing to regard this person as the new lord."

　　 As soon as Shintaro's remarks fell, Shintaro was stunned.

　　 Then, longing and admiration appeared in his eyes.

　　 "I really didn't read the wrong person." Shintaro's tone was a little excited, "Shintaro-sama, you are really great! I feel more and more that you are the next generation of Balrog!"

　　 Shintaro didn't answer Hindaro's words, only smiled.

　　 "Hurry up and eat." After that, Shintaro took a bite of the rice ball in his hand, and then vaguely said, "After this meal, we have to continue to work and catch the traitor."

　　 "Yes!" Shintaro responded loudly and took a bite of the rice ball in his hand.

　　 Just after taking a bite, Shintaro seemed to think of something, and his chewing speed slowed down a little.

　　 "...sama Shintaro, can I ask one more question?"

"Just ask."

"I heard... this guy who has kept us busy all over Edo all these days is a crime and absconds, is it true? I recently heard some friends who were also responsible for arresting that guy said that he committed something. Things hurriedly fled from our Shiranui."

　　 "Oh, this." Shintaro sneered, "That guy did abscond. After learning that we had discovered the crimes he committed, he hurriedly escaped from Shiranui."

　　 "What crime did that guy commit?" Shintaro asked.

　　 "He helped those ‘scum’s escape from Shiranui."

　　 "What?" Shintaro's eyes widened because he was too surprised.

　　 "Not long after we moved the base area to Edo, we found that the number of "dirty" who successfully escaped had increased a lot."

　　 "We realized something was wrong and started to investigate thoroughly."

　　 "Then I found that guy."

　　 "The guy fled Shiranui in a hurry after discovering that his own affairs had been exposed."

　　 "...That's how it is." Shintaro gritted his teeth, "Unforgivable... I even dared to let those ‘scum’s go..."

　　 "That guy is not far away." Shintaro sneered again, "It can be as long as 7 days, and as short as 5 days, we can catch that guy."

　　 "If you are lucky, you might be able to catch that guy's accomplice together."

　　 "That **** Rennin has an accomplice?" Shintaro said in astonishment.

　　 "Yes. After it was found that the traitor had been helping the ‘dirty’ to escape, we conducted a thorough investigation of the ‘dirty village’ and caught a few ‘dirty’ who had contact with the traitor.”

　　 "After a lot of torture, the few ‘dirty’ confessed—the rebels had an accomplice inside and outside Shiranui."

　　 "It is the accomplice who reconciles with the rebellious Ninja inside and outside, they can successfully let so many ‘dirty’ escape smoothly."

　　 "According to our statistics, there are currently about 23 "scum" who have fled, and they are all thanks to them."

"...There are even accomplices. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Shintaro's face became more gloomy, "It's really hateful... Mr. Shintaro, he asked his comrade leader from those'smudges'. What kind of name is it?"

　　 "Those ‘dirty’ have never seen what the bastard’s accomplices look like and what their names are.” Shintaro whispered, "The only thing I know at the moment...the only thing the bastard’s accomplices are not our Shiranui."

　　 "Now let’s go step by step and take your time. The thorough investigation of the ‘soul village’ is still going on. It should not be long before a few more ‘souls’ who have been in close contact with the traitor should be discovered.”

　　 "At that time, you might be able to extract the information of the betrayal accomplice."

　　 "Or after we catch the traitor, we can ask him the whereabouts of his accomplices directly from his mouth."

　　 "No matter what, we must never let those who dare to destroy us in Shiranui live freely."

　　 The voice fell, and a strong chill came out of Shintaro's pupils.

　　 "I am now more curious about whether the accomplices who rebel against Shinobu are male or female."

　　 A weird smile appeared on Shintaro's face.

　　 "I would prefer that the rebellious accomplice be a woman. This way, it will be much more interesting. Our "Flower House" is just short of people right now."

　　 Shintaro didn't comment on Shintaro's words just now, only smiled meaningfully.
