I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Suppressed breathing.

Even though she wasn't in the water, Isshiki was holding her breath as if she was diving.

Puff, puff, puff, puff...

Hear your heart beating extremely forcefully.

Her heart was beating so fast that Isshiki couldn't help but wonder if the three uninvited guests could hear her heartbeat.

A warm gust of air was felt in the twirls of the hair above his head—it was Ogata's breath.

At this moment, Isshiki Hana curled up in Ogata's arms with her back against Ogata.

Although the current posture of the two is rather ambiguous, Isshiki has no thoughts related to the matter between men and women at the moment.

The sound of footsteps outside, like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of Ishiki, made Ishiki's heart unable to raise any distractions. .

— Hiding here... is it really okay...

Isshiki looked at the cramped environment she was in with worried eyes.

This abandoned Buddhist temple has no furniture.

The only two things are the solid altar with its back against the north wall, and the wooden Buddha statue placed on the altar.

Ogata and Isshiki were now hiding in the gap between the Buddha statue and the wall behind it.

The gap between the Buddha statue and the wall is extremely narrow, but fortunately, Ogata is the kind of slender person, and Isshiki is very slender except for the buttocks and bears that have a little more flesh than ordinary people. So if the two tried to squeeze, they could barely squeeze into the gap.

Standing on the altar and hiding behind the Buddha statue—Ishiki, as a devout Buddhist, is quite resistant to this kind of thing.

But the situation was urgent, and she couldn't care less to hide.

Although Zang was able to hide successfully, Isshiki Flower did not feel the slightest relaxation.

After all, the place where they were hiding was not very hidden.

As long as you run to both sides of the Buddha statue, you can see the two people squeezed behind the Buddha statue.

Footsteps are approaching.

Across the Buddha statue, Isshiki heard 3 footsteps coming from different directions, from the south of the Buddha hall, slowly leaning towards the Buddha statue on the north side of the hall, leaning towards them.

Even without Ogata to introduce her slowly, Isshiki can guess that the three outsiders who broke into this Buddhist temple involuntarily must be those who have been chasing Ogata tonight.

And they... are also the ones who kidnapped her grandfather, parents.

Isshiki pressed her chest with one hand, trying to use this method to reduce her heartbeat, which was accelerating due to tension and resentment.

When people feel nervous and uneasy, they often subconsciously look at people who can bring them a sense of security.

His gaze caught up to Ogata's face - what he saw was a face with half-closed eyes and a calm expression.

His appearance seems to be saying: This situation is just a small situation, there is nothing to be afraid of.

For some reason, looking at Ogata's calm and calm expression, while Ishikawa was surprised, her originally fast heartbeat slowly slowed down.

If Isshiki Hana could hear what Ogata was thinking now, she might be even more surprised.

Because Ogata is more than just a calm expression.

Beneath his calm and calm exterior, his brain was spinning and thinking.

Since the three Iga male Shinobi broke in, Ogata has been thinking: if something happens, **** all three of them as quickly as possible.

…

…

- 7 steps for the guy on the left, 7 steps for the guy in the middle, 6 steps for the guy on the right...

With his eyes half closed, Ogata focused most of his energy and attention on his ears, carefully listening to the position of the three Iga male shinobi, and their relationship with the Buddha statue... that is Ogata and Isshiki now. Spacing of hiding places.

- It seems that it is impossible to hope that they will not come to inspect the back of the Buddha statue.

- The person on the right is now the fastest walking... The person who came to the side of the Buddha statue first should be him.

Ogata clenched the knife in his hand and faced his right hand.

Exactly as Ogata had guessed.

The person on Ogata's right hand side is the fastest.

The other two were walking in the Buddhist hall with a gentle pace that even an ant might not trample to death, only his footsteps were fast.

In just 2 breaths, this person has come to... the side of the Buddha statue.

There are only two steps away from Ogata Kazuhiki hidden behind the Buddha statue.

Isshiki also clenched the handle that Chu Guang gave her at this time, and swallowed hard, ready to stab the knife in her hand forcefully when she saw someone appear in front of her eyes.

Both Ogata and Isshiki Hana clenched the knives in their hands, ready to go out at any time.

It was the one closest to the Buddha statue, and after walking one or two steps forward, you could see Ogata and the other ninjas about to move forward—

"etc."

The silence of the Buddhist hall was suddenly broken.

This was the voice of the ninja furthest from the Buddha statue.

After saying "Wait", the man went on to say:

"It's too dangerous for you to just lean forward. Learn to use the ninja's weapons."

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Fang heard a very slight abnormal sound from the top of his head.

Looking up, the top of the head of the Buddha statue in front of him was covered with a rope made of hemp rope.

Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

He instantly realized what the ninja wanted to do.

And what happened next, also perfectly confirmed Ogata's conjecture—

Boom!

After being roped around the Buddha's head, the ninja who was farthest from the Buddha immediately pulled back.

Wooden Buddha statues are not heavy.

Under his pulling, the Buddha statue fell forward and fell heavily.

The Buddha statue collapsed, and Ogata and Isshiki, who were hidden behind the Buddha statue, were naturally exposed to everyone's eyes.

The sudden change made Isshiki, who had lost sight of the wind and waves, stunned.

And while she was still stunned in place—

call!

There was wind pressure on her side.

Ogata, has moved.

At the same moment when the Buddha statue was pulled down, Ogata reacted quickly and launched a counterattack.

Ogata jumped to the ninja furthest away from him and Isshiki, who had pulled the Buddha statue down, without running, and slashed the sword that was raised above his head with the help of gravity.

The ninja's expression changed, and he hurriedly pulled out the hazashi from his waist and hurriedly met the enemy.

And after Ogata "flyed" out, Isshiki Hana finally realized that, as if waking up from a dream, she grabbed Wakizai in her hand and rushed towards the ninja closest to the Buddha statue.

Even a sick flying dragon, a dragon is still a dragon.

clang! clang! clang!

Ogata swung three knives in a row to break through the ninja's frontal defense, and then stabbed the man's throat with a sword in front of him.

Clap clap clap!

There were rapid footsteps beside him.

Looking sideways - it was another ninja who was running towards the windows that were smashed by them just now, intending to escape.

Ogata didn't immediately chase, but first put his hand into his arms, took out something shiny metallic, and threw it forcefully at the back of the escaped ninja.

The thing that was thrown out by Ogata was his pistol, Umezen.

Mei Ran and Xia Nagi can't use it because of the water, but their hard shells can still be used as hidden weapons for the time being.

Mei Ran accurately hit the back of the escaped ninja, causing the escaped ninja's figure to stop.

And Ogata also saw this opportunity, rushed forward with a stride, and slashed heavily at the back of the escaped ninja. After he staggered forward a few steps, he also walked towards the one who was first stabbed to death by Ogata. Following in the footsteps of the ninja, he collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.

Isshiki's strength is not as good as Ogata's, and she's also not good at using wakizashi, so after Ogata has eliminated the two ninjas with neat moves, Isshiki is still fighting with the enemy in front of her.

However, the fight between Isshiki and her enemy was now over.

After seeing that his two companions were killed by Ogata, the only remaining ninja not only lost his morale and fighting spirit, but also flickered fiercely in his eyes.

His speed of swinging the knife increased a lot in one breath, suppressing Isshiki, who was only a close match.

This man was also imposing for a short while.

laugh!

The sound of the blade cutting into the meat sounded again.

After dealing with the escaped ninja, Ogata rushed over immediately and chopped this last enemy to the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Ogata put the knife on the ground with one hand, and half squatted on the ground, gasping for breath, evenly adjusting his breathing.

His too ugly face made Isshiki Hana seem like a conditioned reflex, and hurriedly ran to Ogata's side and squatted.

"Lord Yidaozhai. Are you all right?"

"It's okay...just...a little too tired..."

Stiffing such a weak body, killing 3 people in a row... Ogata can't think of any other words to describe his current physical state.

After gasping for several breaths, his breathing finally eased, Ogata propped up his thighs with his hands and stood up slowly.

"...Miss Isshiki, get out of here quickly."

"leave here?"

"Well. Since someone has already found this place, it means that it is not very safe." Ogata said softly, "It's just a matter of time before the second wave of enemies finds here."

"So get out of here quickly and don't stay with me anymore."

"If you stay with me again, you will be chased and killed just like before."

"Leave. It's better to leave Osaka directly, or at least escape to the outskirts of Osaka."

"Thank you for your food and water."

"I will definitely fulfill my promise to you in the future, get your family back, and make those who took your family pay the price."

After all, Ogata used a knife as a cane, and with a shaky pace, he walked slowly towards the window that was smashed by the three ninjas just now.

"Master Yidaozhai, where are you going?"

"As I said just now, this place is not safe anymore, and I have to find a new hiding place." He said, "Just leave in the opposite direction to me."

Listening to Ogata's words, Isshiki was stunned for a moment.

Then he rushed forward without thinking, came to Ogata's side, and supported Ogata.

"Miss Isshiki?" Ogata cast a surprised look at Isshiki.

"Do you want me to be the kind of villain who doesn't care about friends who are in danger?" Isshiki Hana, who supported Ogata, looked straight ahead with a firm and unquestionable tone.

"...Staying with me again, but it's very dangerous. The next enemy to attack may not be three people, but an entire army."

Isshiki Hana ignored Ogata's words.

She didn't respond, she just continued to support Ogata silently and walked straight forward.

Seeing this, Ogata pursed his lips, showing a helpless expression.

After that, I didn't say anything more, and let Ishiki help him.

…

…

After some time-

Somewhere not a short distance away from the Buddhist temple where Ogata and the others were hiding—

hiss…

After burning out the incense, a wisp of blue smoke wafted out, making a small "hiss" sound, and the last bit of fire was hidden in the darkness.

The ninja glanced at the burnt incense in his hand, and then looked at the direction in which his three companions left with complicated eyes...

…

…

Turn back time to just now—

"We can't go looking for someone together. If the big bear woman is really Shura's wife, it means that Shura or Shura's companions are most likely hiding in that direction, then if we go to find someone together, maybe they will all be wiped out. So It is necessary to take appropriate precautions.”

"Prevention?"

"That's right. We leave one person here, and the other three go to search for Shura and Shura's accomplices. The person who stays here is holding this incense."

"...I see what you mean. If the three people who went to search for Shura and Shura's accomplices didn't come back before the incense burnt out, it means that Shura or Shura's accomplices are really hiding in that direction. I'm right. Bar?"

"That's right. The three people who went to search couldn't come back, except because they encountered Shura or Shura's accomplices, there could be no other reason. If the three people who went to search couldn't be there If you come back before the incense burns out, the person who is responsible for holding the incense and staying here will immediately report to the person above what happened here."

"Nice approach. So—who should stay here?"

"Let the one with the family stay."

…

…

The ninja who stayed looked at the direction where his three companions were leaving with complicated eyes, and then looked at the incense that had been burned in his hands.

After a moment of silence, he flicked his finger and threw the incense in his hand to his feet, then jumped up and disappeared into the darkness.

…

…

Osaka, Longshui Temple—

Yoshijiu was sitting at the edge of a large desk at this time, staring at the map of Osaka on the desk.

"Osaka Castle... Pursuit... Dojima Yone City..."

Every time he read out a shogunate facility, he drew a small red cross on the map where the facility was located with a brush soaked in red ink.

It didn't take a while for red crosses to spread all over this huge map.

"All the shogunate facilities have been successfully destroyed, and the administrative capacity of Osaka Prefecture has been paralyzed..." Yoshihisa murmured, and then he let out a suffocating breath.

"The goal of the 'Osaka Spring Formation'...is basically accomplished."

Ji Jiu put down the brush in his hand and stood up with his hands behind his back.

"Now... only one Ogata Ichitosai remains unsolved..."

After mentioning the name "Ogata Ichitozai", Ji Jiu's brows showed a few traces of annoyance.

"Not only the swordsmanship, but also the kung fu of evading pursuit..."

Ji Jiu closed his eyes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows forcefully.

"No wonder the shogunate hasn't caught him until now..."

"Master Jijiu!"

At this time, a "messenger" quickly ran to Ji Jiu's side.

"What's the matter?"

"Someone found information about Ogata Ichitosai's hiding place."

"Oh?" Ji Jiu stopped the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, "Tell me more about it."

"Yes!"

What this "messenger" told was, of course, the specific process of the strategy of "three men to search and one to stay behind with incense" by the four male ninjas just now.

After quietly listening to the information reported by the "messenger", Yoshihisa turned his eyes to the map of Osaka next to him.

Looking straight at the map, after looking at it for a while, he said in a faint tone:

"Send an order to all the group leaders except for the 9th, 12th, 13th, and 15th groups—"
