22 – Episode 22. Runaway Ninja vs Yakuza (4)
“Kakashi~!!!”
I shouted her name with intense hatred.
This enduring bond shall end today.
“Hyeoyak!”
The frightened Peekaboo flees, losing their an*us.
Seeing their fear, it seems they have witnessed my ninja assassination to some extent.
“385? Where are you going!”
“Kill them!”
The other four people came at me with weapons, but their movements were inferior to the instructor’s.
They must be just a bunch of leftovers.
“-The art of ducking.”
After breaking the arm of the middle-aged man running at me with a dagger, I cautiously poured some liquor.
“Buoooo!”
Bones snap satisfyingly, scattering into pieces.
At this point, their powerlessness has been successfully achieved.
“Together!”
Taking advantage of the distraction in cooking, the curly-haired ajumma stabbed a knife into the side.
“-The art of okonomiyaki.”
Chop chop chop chop!
I lightly dodged to the side, then grabbed the head with both hands and gave it a massage. The ajumma’s head seemed to have become elongated, resembling well-kneaded dough.
“Eh…”
The ajumma collapses immediately.
“Hoo-yahh!”
“Moo-ahh~!”
The remaining two tremble in fear, taking steps back.
Do they finally realize the difference in skill? But it’s already too late.
I throw a dagger at the back of the man’s head, and with a short sword, I slit the woman’s throat.
“Son of a b*tch.”
It might be harder to pick my nose now.
Suddenly, I remember. After the battle in Maple Leaf Village, I was picking my nose and failed to control my strength, causing a nosebleed.
The startled teammates fought fiercely and even helped me with my belongings.
It’s not for nothing that some students pretend to be sick and lie in the infirmary during physical education class.
“Nin-nin.”
I turn around and confirm the position of Kakashi and the subdued man.
Kakashi was riding the nearby mountain, and the bushes were shaking, revealing his movements.
“Ohhh…”
The man, unable to bear the pain, fainted, and his right hand twitched like a tentacle from the influence of the technique.
I should keep one or two as witnesses for the investigation, so let’s keep him alive for a moment.
“I’m going, oppa.”
Now, there’s only one left, Kakashi.
With my strengthened legs, I pound the ground.
Swish, swish, swish!
Splitting through the air, the scenery changed in an instant.
Before long, a speeding Kakashi appeared.
“Give up your life, ninja!”
“Ah, ahhhhh!”
Kakashi, speeding up with a pale face as if he had seen a ghost.
What could be so terrifying?
A ninja who uses murder as a profession must always be prepared to die.
Anyone who cannot do so is below third-rate.
“Wajabut!”
Kakashi, who was once my master, committing acts worse than third-rate, is an act of insulting me, his disciple.
“Wait! Hold on for a moment!”
Kakashi, sensing that he couldn’t escape, stopped.
But there is no mercy for villains.
“Ninja Hex Pascal Kick!”
He flew right away.
Clang!
Kakashi narrowly avoided it and the kick hit a rock.
The rock shattered into pieces.
Indeed, his movements are faster than the others.
“Euhhiyak!”
Kakashi let out a scream and finally drew his ninja tool.
“Stop right there! W-We didn’t have any ill feelings between us! Calm down!”
Kakashi yelled with a red face, clearly extremely agitated.
What? Yelling at me, the victim?
It was no different from an armed robber breaking into someone’s house and violating their human rights.
“Come here!”
Kakashi held two daggers in each hand and closed the distance between us.
“Hiyah!”
Kakashi parried my dagger with his ninja tool. As expected, his famous sword made my dagger tremble.
“Listen to me…!”
Confronting each other with our weapons, I could gauge her level.
In terms of speed and precision, she was clearly ahead of Irene.
Roughly speaking, about 1.4 times Irene’s level?
To lead the fight into a close-quarters combat where I couldn’t swing my long sword quickly, I released my ninja tool and got close to her.
“Where does the assailant preach to the victim!”
If it were in the past, the opponent would have been somewhat challenging.
But for me now, facing Poppo who was knocking Irene around like a butterfly, it was no different from sipping lukewarm ramen soup.
“-Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.”
I plunged into Kakashi’s chest, who couldn’t keep up with my speed, with the handle of my dagger, causing damage that was more pronounced, perhaps due to the flat surface.
“Wook!”
The blood-spewing Kakashi.
He snatched her ninja sword as she struggled to breathe.
“Confiscating your ninja sword.”
“Huh, huh.”
Kakashi knelt down, clutching her chest.
I watched carefully, thinking she might suddenly open her eyes and become stronger like a shilnun, but there was no sign of that happening.
I was unnecessarily tense.
“Answer me. Why were you there?”
I need to get more information before killing her.
I tapped Kakashi’s head with the tip of my foot as she fell.
“I-I’ll answer. But on one condition…!”
“Answer me.”
Before she finished speaking, I gave her a jet kick.
A Yakuzha’s insignificant condition cannot be imposed on a runaway ninja.
“Ugh!”
Her perfectly defensive posture, with both hands raised above her head, was precisely where my attack landed.
Even if she can see all the movements, it’s useless to block them.
Even if she’s faster than Irene, she’s still slow compared to me.
“Answer me.”
“Jo, Jo-geon.”
“Answer! Answer! Answer! Answer!”
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
A merciless ninja kick pierced through his body.
Rolling and tumbling, the former master contorted his body like a worm.
“I-I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Please…!”
The tear-streaked face with footprints all over the body sobbed.
Should have done it sooner.
“Speak. If you mention another condition, I’ll turn you into minced meat.”
“I was commissioned by Delbanas!”
“Delbanas?”
Who was that? Ah, was it Yakuzan Oyabun?
“The blindfolded woman, right?”
“Yes. Delbanas investigated the debt and requested to kill the lord if possible.”
“I see. Is that all?”
“If you spare the rest…”
“Be on your way.”
As a final touch, he bowed his upper body to offer takoyaki salvation.
“There’s more, clothes~!”
Now, Ka-Kashi, the poet who sang soprano.
I stopped as requested.
Since I’m going to die no matter what I do, I can listen a bit more and make a judgment.
“Speak.”
“I have a scheduled meeting with Delbanas tomorrow! If you say something unusual came up and request a meeting, we can meet again today! Since I decided to come alone without any other members, you won’t suspect anything!”
“What’s the point?”
“If you keep me alive and take me to where Delbanas is, you can kill her too. It’s a great opportunity.”
Wow, she’s clever. I didn’t even think of that.
Pat, pat.
I gently stroked her head as a compliment.
She looked flustered and didn’t know what to do.
“Well then, let’s leave right away.”
Snap!
I grabbed her hair with the hand that was just stroking her and lifted her up.
From Noble mtl dot com
A perfect sweet ninja.
“Euiit~!”
The impressed Kakashi let out a series of exclamations.
Damn, I bet you received a lot of love from your teacher when you were a student.
“What are you doing? Walk.”
Since I regained the appearance of a ninja, my heart felt a bit lighter.
I gently kicked Kakashi’s buttocks as she tidied up her messy hair.
“Oh, I need to fix my clothes. If I go like this, people will suspect something.”
“I’ll straighten you up real nice.”
I grabbed Kakashi’s right hand and took off my gloves, eagerly straightening out Kakashi’s clothes.
Taltaltaltaltal!
“Ow!”
“You look clean now. Let’s go.”
“…”
Kakashi, looking neat and tidy, moved with a shiver, wondering why she was so excited.
Is she finally getting into the rhythm?
“Eolssoo!”
I followed behind her, dancing the Bongsan mask dance.
It’s the day we reclaim our ninja power, so we should do this much.
***
Finally, we arrived at the Yakuzas’ settlement.
There were hundreds of villains gathered around the tent village, bustling and noisy.
“What’s going on?”
“Go and see. There’s only one of them.”
As soon as they recognized Kakashi, several people grabbed their weapons and rushed out.
“Stop. Who are you?”
A Yaku
How many candies did I steal from the kids to make my teeth look like this?
Swish-
The Yakuzas moved closer and slipped into the bushes.
There are so many guys wandering around or carrying torches that it’s hard to maintain a low profile.
It’s also because there are no prominent features in the open field.
“I am 385, commissioned by Delbanas. You’ll know who I’m talking about.”
Kakkashi acted naturally.
Her desire to survive made her a famous actress.
“Oh, I’ve heard of you. Today isn’t the day we were supposed to meet, right?”
The middle-aged man in the hat signaled to the candy thief to lower his weapon.
Is he a superior? Hats are usually worn by those who are somewhat capable.
“We were supposed to meet tomorrow, but there’s an important matter, so I came to tell you in person.”
“How important is it?”
“It includes a personal request, so it might be tough.”
“As you know, we can’t refuse. We’ll follow you.”
Watching Kakkashi, who was surrounded by seven armed men, they all dropped to the ground.
There are too many eyes watching, making it difficult to hide.
It might be better to crawl and narrow the distance for now.
“Captain! The assassin we sent last time has something to say!”
They paused for a moment while moving and looked up.
Is that big tent over there Yakuzah Oyabung’s house?
There was a strange energy emanating from it, different from that of a magical artifact.
It felt wicked and unrefined, as if in its rawest form.
Somehow, it didn’t feel like a sensation I had experienced before.
Is it similar to when I have nightmares?
“I’ll go check it out myself.”
In an instant, waves of green light spread out around me.
Without warning, I crouched my body in response to the sudden wide-area attack.
Wooong-
Even though it seemed like my body had come into contact with the light, there was no damage at all.
What is this? Is it just a cool-looking effect?
“Hmm.”
When I looked up again to assess the situation, I saw a woman who I presumed to be Delbanas holding a lance outside.
It’s strange how calm all of Yakuzah’s members are.
Have they become accustomed to this green light?
Or was it only visible to me?
Lost in thought, Delbanas suddenly threw the lance in my direction.
Boong-!
The lance shot towards me with tremendous speed.
If the rumors about her being a former knight are true, then this is an incredible power.
But still, this is a predictable speed.
Immediately using the Ninja Meteorological Technique, I dodged by tumbling.
A spear flew past me, stuck in the ground.
“What the hell!”
“Catch that bastard!”
If you show aggressive movements in a short amount of time, the illusion is inevitably shattered.
Yakuza running towards me with weapons in hand.
“Capture her alive.”
“Got it!”
In response to Delbanas’s command, Ssagatnam tied her up with a rope.
Her lips trembled as she was captured without much resistance, probably because she had used a lot of mana to protect her body when she was hit earlier.
I have to help her.
Shwoosh~ Thud!
“Ugh…”
A dagger was stuck in Ssagatnam’s forehead.
I ‘rescued’ her so that she wouldn’t suffer any more. Farewell!
“Crazy! How did he do that from that distance!”
“He’s not an ordinary guy! Surround him!”
“Get up! You bastards!”
Hearing the shouts of my comrades, the yakuza came out of the tent, wielding weapons and rushing towards us.
Were there 250 of them? Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to kill them all in this open field.
Since I have hostages, there’s no harm in finishing it here. And Delbanas shouldn’t be taken lightly, as he possesses unique power.
Let’s retreat for now.
As soon as I made the decision, I immediately dashed to the opposite side.
A few arrows flew, but they were slower than the javelin from earlier, so I easily avoided them.
Of course, there was no one who could keep up with my speed.
“You’re slow. Even in pursuit.”
Hodadadak!
Without saying a word and just running away won’t look good, so I turned around, said a word, and ran again.
It’s still not the right time to use the “Ninja Massacre” card.
