Celebrating 11 (1606) December 21st at noon -

After half an hour (roughly an hour) from noon, Sanho Izo was running in the dry winter air.

There is only one place he aspires.

It is one of the biggest inns in the city of Nagahama, where Misty Hidden Talent should rest his body.

But compared to when he had just left the Toyoku Shrine, which was burning with a sense of purpose to fulfill the wishes of a beautiful young woman, his mind presented a glimmer of cloudy skies that were completely different from the blue sky of the day.

Whether it was brought about by a certain anxiety or not, the sight he was seeing now meant that the anxiety was centered.

"Ayamatsu... being impotent, etc.... not in a pattern..."

It is also impossible that Izo crushed him with a bitter laugh on his mouth like that.

Because he arrives in one of the rooms of the inn. No, he jumps into its eyes...

Literally "nothing" room...

I mean, there was no such thing as a fog concealer who was supposed to be resting his painful body.

◇ ◇

By the time Misty Hidden Talent had disappeared from one of the rooms of the Inn, in the curtain by the Awami, there was a riot between the faces of Shinobu Maida and the men of Hiranuchi Takasaka.

But to describe it as "riot warfare," one might call it a war situation that is a little one-sided. Because the sneakers of Hiranuchi Takasaka's men were let go of the motion against the Shigemitsu Maida, who jumped endlessly across the tabernacle.

But that's not impossible either. Because Hiranuchi Takasaka's men are all "Koga Ninjas who don't specialize in solo combat."

They Koga Ninjas are good at the art of fighting in groups, under the command that binds the organization, but they don't like one-on-one battles.

Similarly, Koga ninja Sasuke Monkey used Kosuke Kosuke Kokuyama, Yuri Kamanosuke, and Mitsuko Aokai, who excelled in "individual" combat capabilities, to "destroy each and every one".

And the two men, Hirohiro Nezu and Rokuro Hozuki, were in charge of their support, and Sasuke Monkey and Rokuro Haino were messing with the scene so that they wouldn't let Hirouchi Takasaka's men take control.

Hiranuchi Takasaka, on the other hand, could not shake the exploitation to be shaken, but that was not because he himself was in a state of confusion in this situation. Simply, it was not a situation in which he could shake, either as he raised his voice or by the explosion of gunpowder balls, inhibited by smoke filled with the curtain, as he directed with his hands and eyes… that is, to wield extraction.

In the absence of sushi, his men, who were more than twenty, are rendered incapable of combat with one or another by just eight Maida Ten Warriors.

But even so, unexpectedly, Hiranuchi Takasaka was calm.

"Grrr... not like this... but I still have something to do"

While I did bite my lips, I was inclined to the actions I was going to take, but that doesn't seem to be about putting in place the attitude of my men who are going to fall in front of me now.

Because what a thought he was putting into "taking his men off the curtain by himself" as "[a]".

It's all too...

- I can't give up Hidekang's assassination!

It goes without saying that it was due to too strong an ambition.

His idea, however, is that Sasuke Monkey and Rokuro Haino seem to spot the two eyes, in a turbulent battle, but with a stabbing gaze at Hirouchi Takasaka's movements. For that reason, he was disturbed by the fact that he could not leave the scene immediately.

... and then. And whosoever brightened his expression so little, he appeared.

Who is that person...

"It's noisy. Either way, I can work for you..."

and was the Negishi Rabbit Corner rocking his big body as he nibbled.

He has his favorite stick in his hand and looks down at Hirouchi Takasaka to twist something.

Of course I don't know what the intention is. He took two pieces of silver from his nostalgia to make that wish come true immediately.

Quickly plundering it, the horns turn their nasty voices inside.

"Well, when it's cleared up..."

"Three..."

"All right. I can't help it, so I'll put this mess away."

"First the sneak of standing in that place. Stop him from breathing."

"Hmm! Instructing me to fight is something that's become great. Well, good. I'll make that wish this time!

You were satisfied with the condition, and Hachi disappeared into the white smoke with his opponent, whom Hachi had instructed.

That opponent is Sasuke Monkey, the conductor of the enemy.

He was calmly discerning that crushing the conductor in a riot was the best course of action, and yet would divert the attention being directed at him.

Then he muttered, "This is not how you fit in," and went back to the sleeve of the curtain.

………

……

"Sasuke, Hachiuchi's falling back on his sleeve."

"Oh, I know. The back of the sleeve is the pale sea. It shouldn't be hard to get out of the curtain without coming here..."

"Well, that's one thing to do."

"Oh!"

Sasuke Monkey and Rokuro Haino, who exchanged those words with each other on the back and back, broke up the conversation by that point, momentum and split into two hands.

Of these, Sasuke is followed by Negishi Tsuruga, who sets the direction.

Sasuke glanced at Rokuro Haino, and he nodded cocklessly.

- I'm asking the Lord to command this place!

The words are correctly conveyed to Rokuro Haino even if Sasuke does not speak. Then, Rokuro rushed to the center of the stage, which was still a riot.

Sasuke, on the other hand, set up a sneak knife as he stepped down towards the guest seat. Regardless of how talented he is at ninjaku to intercept Negishi Tsugaru, it is clear that no matter how well he interacts with the Tsugaru Tsugaru, who is known for his swordsmanship, he will have no teeth.

Still, he wasn't going to pull a step.

Because it's...

- You hurt my people. I'll make you get paid!

It was because it was dominated by strong anger, not even by Sasuke.

But...

There was someone who held the thought stronger than Sasuke.

And from the moment the person saw the horn from the sleeve of the stage, he completely lost his reason, which had been in the midst of a turmoil and had been slightly disconnected. Then, at the mercy of his strength, he flew the weapon in his hand toward the razor horn.

- Bum!!

Exactly the creepy sound of cutting through the air is sucked into the neck muscle of the horn. But he shrugged his neck the minute that slight wind pressure touched his skin.

Then a blade passing over his head, murderous, his hair dancing with the wind, along with the sound of bassari.

"Chi! Don't mess with me from the side!

The tongue-piercing horn pointed his toe in the direction of the blade flying from Sasuke's side, and the person came into his eyes like a little girl.

It was Yuri Kamanosuke.

Kamanosuke is swinging his good friend, the clam, and leaning his heart early into the next blow.

The horn leaked a grin unexpectedly at the way it looked.

"Ha! What the fuck!? What do you mean? Pretty guy like Mei, but is he okay with swinging something dangerous like that?

"Say what! Rude!! I will never forgive the Lord for hurting your talent!

"Talented? I don't know his name..."

With respect to Kamanosuke, who looks like he's about to explode, he has a pungent look.

Sasuke was anxious to see the two contrasting figures, but Sasuke was reluctant to jump in inadvertently because Sasuke didn't show any gaps in the conversation.

Then Sickle Noisuke barked.

"Oh my God! I didn't know you'd forget who you were dealing with yesterday!

"Oh... that self-destructing minded bastard..."

"Grr! Don't make fun of the talent!!

He had a humble grin when he thought of something against Kamanosuke.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Hey, hey, I was wondering what to say...! You're an idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

I didn't miss that moment when I saw Kamanosuke, whose face turned bright red in a different way and began to get upset.

"Kamanosuke!! Coming!!

I wondered if the sound of a powerful kick to the ground with "Don," and the giant of the horn flew to the sickle's eye as if it were the speed of sound.

All of a sudden, Kama-nosuke is bluishing his red face. The razor horn shook a stick at him like that.

"Mmm!!

A razor horn that wields a thick stick at its disposal. Kamanosuke, on the other hand, is standing on his feet waiting to receive that attack in the patterned part of the clam.

... and then.

- Shh!

And sharp and short, the horn reacted quickly to the sound of tearing the air.

- Kang!

When I suddenly turned the swinging stick in the direction of sound, a single backsword lost its speed and fell to the ground.

It was Sasuke who flew it. He turns to the blind spot of the razor horn without letting his hair in.

But the razor horn rotated so lightly that it didn't make me feel the weight of the giant, while continuing to gaze at Sasuke as if I missed him. But Sasuke wasn't trying to stop him from dying, he was trying to divert his attention from Kamanosuke. And Kamanosuke did not miss the slight gap that arose.

Kamanosuke flies for the sickle in his hand. with the sound of "Hyun," sucked in a straight line to the neck of the razor horn. But when the horn perceived it in what could be called an animal instinct, it flexed in inches. But Kamanosuke was also a great deal, and he was making Ni's hand in anticipation of the attack being sent. The sickle, vainly cut out of the sky, was brilliantly wrapped around a stick of grunge and horns when it breathed back by the skillful manipulation of Sickle Noisuke.

"Gotcha!!

It was the unintentionally delightful Kamanosuke, but the spare face of the razor horn remained completely unchanged. On the contrary, with an invincible grin,

"Sweet!!

and roared like a lion.

But Kamanosuke didn't lose either.

"That's it to be strong too!!

When I raise my voice like that, I shake the chain wrapped around the stick to the right and to the left, and start trying to deflect the center of gravity of the horn.

But it is as if the feet of a fat raven horn as a thousand years old tree were completely rooted on the ground, frightening.

But he couldn't seem to afford to turn his attention to Sasuke's quick movements on the boulder, and at some point, when Sasuke entered the blind spot of Sasuke's horn, he also completely erased the signs at that moment.

"Kooky!!

At last, the raven horn, who had left himself to his wrath, threw his own stick straight into Kamanosuke.

"What!?

This unexpected reaction is delayed, Kamanosuke. But the momentum of the stick never stopped.

- Don't!!

And with the blunt sound, when he struck directly into Kamanosuke's belly, Kamanosuke nodded unexpectedly, "Ugh," and tried to nod at the spot.

"One first!!

As if he were a cat who hunts even rats while playing, his mouth spreading wide as if it were ripped open, with his eyes filled with killing intent and madness. The horn took a step towards the sickle's eyes, which could no longer move due to the impact of his belly.

But that moment you took that step!

I felt something stepping on the leg of the razor horn.

And

- Dokan!!

I thought it sounded like an explosion.

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

And the scream from the mouth of the horn was stuck unto heaven.

It was a so-called mine, called a buried fire. The horn stomped unaware it was placed on the ground, and it exploded at that moment.

And on his stepped right foot were pieces of iron that had been planted in the gunpowder balls, and so forth profoundly pierced.

Sasuke appeared all the time when Sasuke, who could withstand too much pain, disappeared and lay down on the ground when the horn nodded this time.

"The pain of ripping skin… taste it to the fullest. Knowing the pain of talent."

"How dare you!! Do an extra imitation!!

Rabbit horns absurd words with resentful faces against Sasuke, who spoke pale words. But the only thing with a good prestige was no longer its mouth, obviously if you look at his blood-soaked right leg.

Still, when I wake up my torso diligently, I step in with my still safe left foot and wave that fist up to Sasuke.

But behind him, he never realized that there was already a Kamanosuke with his complexion undone.

- Hyun...

The sound of tearing the air again approaches the razor horn.

By the time the horn noticed the signs of that blade, he remained on his back, and he had nothing more to do with it than to turn away with a "look" as a swordsman.

"Same no matter how many times I do it!!

He shouts, lowering his targeted head three times again.

In that next moment the blade will pass over its head...

That was the moment I thought...

- Spa...

And I wondered whether there was a dry sound in light condition, and the force of my left foot, like the great tree in the corner, fell out as if it were water in a barrel with holes.

"Hey, what..."

The horn, which fell to the ground with its knees bent by accident, had both hands on it to support its body.

Then he jumped into his eyes with a sharp blade on his left heel.

In other words, Kama-nosuke, instead of the head of the razor horn from the beginning, set his aim at the foot and splendidly severed the tendon of his ankle.

By this, his legs are no longer left as strong as supporting the giant, as the decaying great tree.

While dressed to be grounded, Sasuke and Kamanosuke came to his sight side by side and looked down at him like that.

It is obvious to whoever sees that the battle is completely on, although it is a horn of regret to look back at that cold gaze.

"Kill..."

Sasuke shook his neck to the side, as the horn raised a careless voice to squeeze out.

And he uttered cruelty in a pale tone, as always.

"I can't let that foot go completely back to normal. If the Lord is also the ultimate in the path of the sword, it would be more of a hell of a pain to live on unsatisfactory feet than to die here.

But this is a reward. A reward for entertaining people's lives and hurting them with a cheerful face.

I hope to live after this, savoring with myself the richness and dignity of a man's life. "

In the words, the horn is weeping as he dyes his chewed lips with blood.

And when his body and heart were completely shattered, he remained, lying on the ground, and continued to cry.

Sickle Noisuke exhaled loudly, "Phew," whether he was relieved by his settlement with a strong enemy. But looking at Sasuke, he's not on the spot anymore and seems to have moved on to the next thing.

Kamanosuke circled her eyes in admiration of the switching speed and Sasuke, who was not distracted by the victory anywhere harshly.

That's when I heard a loud laugh on his back.

"Whoa! You're apparently done!

"Ha! This fight, it's my win! Very Eight!"

"Shit! I really didn't think Kamanosuke would win."

It was two people, Hirohiko Nezu and Kosuke Mitsuyama.

Kamanosuke, looking at the stage behind them fufufu, can see that all his men in Hiranuchi Takasaka, more than twenty, are nodding because they are incapable of fighting.

And, as it shows that he has fully mastered the inside of the curtain, its entrance is consolidated by Mitsuko Aokai and Hozuki Rokuro, and in the center of the stage, Rokuro Haino is still keeping his eyes open to the surroundings while still remaining nervous.

When you see how it goes, you think it's "over" even if it's not Kamanosuke, and you'll give yourself up to the comfort of losing all your body power softly.

And the complaint popped out of Kama-nosuke's mouth unexpectedly.

"No! Yahachi! Did your lord bet on someone that I would 'lose'!

"Ha! That would be so! There's no way your Lord can beat such a monster!

"Mmmm! If I had 'lost', I might not have had my life! What do you mean, bet on it!

"Ha! Don't worry! If you're really going to get hit, it means you did something with my blow arrow!

A soothing exchange returns as usual, directly beneath the blue sky in winter.

There's only one thing that shows...

- The complete victory of Shigemitsu Maida

So...

But the next moment...

Their loose expressions will freeze.

It's...

"No!! Takasaka Hiranuchi has escaped!!!

Sasuke's scream went to see how he was on the sleeve of the stage, because he stuck in the curtain -
