219. East, Hwaguk (7)
The three women who arrived at the gate where Jeto passed before were reading the sentences written on the sign.
“A ninja shouldn’t be seduced by the enticing fruit right in front of his eyes… Maybe this place wanted to be used as a training ground for ninjas rather than a simple tomb?”
Yuri read the sentence and summarized the situation.
“But we are not ninjas. Neither are Cadet Zeto.”
“Did Zeto want to become a ninja?”
“Zeto…?”
Eisel raised her eyebrows as if wondering what Yuri was talking about.
“Isn’t that cool…?”
“Unexpectedly, I like to dress up, but…”
“Well, let’s open the door first.”
“Wait a minute.”
Yuri grabbed Kaen’s wrist as she opened her door.
“Why?”
“There must be something ahead of me.”
“I guess so.”
“Focus on the word dazzle. Are you sure you won’t be taken aback if something pops out from behind this door?”
“I don’t think it’s anything special.”
“Me too.”
“…Aren’t you guys underestimating the great ninja? The first ninja?”
“First of all, we know that the strongest ninja we’ve ever seen was an insignificant person.”
Kaen was talking about the Happo she had seen before.
At least, the Happo they knew was just a person who was rude, unable to react to Zeto’s speed, and fell into a ridiculous mess.
“I feel the same way.”
“Dae-Ninja… Maybe it’s different…?”
Yuri muttered her words.
She was doing this for a reason.
It was none other than the warning from Beno, the dragon trapped in the orb in her arms.
Beno said to Yuri.
You are right.
This is a kind of test.
So don’t panic if anything shows up behind the door.
Beno, who always spoke nonsense or obscenity, suddenly gave a serious warning, and Yuri was a little concerned.
“Cadet Yuri, if you’re doing this out of fear, you can calm down and come slowly. If that happens, we’ll meet Cadet Zeto first.”
“I’ll go first.”
“Go with me…!”
Eisel and Kaen felt frustrated with Yuri’s hesitation, and in the end, Yuri reluctantly followed them into the door.
But contrary to Yuri’s concerns, she didn’t see anything special. Except that she was a bit dark, so the entire aisle was out of sight.
“Hmm…”
Kaen looked around and sighed.
“…Nothing.”
Eisel grumbled as she looked at the glass.
‘Hey Beno… Are you playing a prank to scare me?’
Yuri frowned at her as if she was nervous about this.
“I need to find an exit first.”
“I’ll go this way.”
“I am this way.”
“…”
The three women decided to split up for a while to find their own way out, and ended up walking in different directions.
“Beno, answer me.”
[ Why but? My master ]
“What the hell are you talking about here?”
Yuri, passing through the dark passageway with a fireball in her hand, asked Beno in her arms in an annoyed voice.
[ Didn’t the owner feel it? ]
“What?”
[ Tsk… It’s not good to be a royal family. The smell is so strong though. ]
“What smell? Could you smell more than that?”
[ That’s just what they say. ]
“So what is there…”
The moment Yuri turned her head, blurring her words.
ㅡ Tadak…

She didn’t miss the small sound that came from the other side of the passage. It was popular.
“…There, who is it?”
Immediately, Yuri lifted the fireball she was holding into the air to check her face, and she slowly moved it, gradually lighting up the dark passageway.
It was only then that his face was revealed.
“…Zeto?”
“Miss Yuri.”
Jetto, who was squatting against the wall, waved his hand happily.
“Why is Jeto here…”
“Since when have you been following me?”
“That’s…”
“Well, that’s all right.”
“…”
“Would you like to come this way?”
Yuri was bewildered by his suggestion, but she moved to his side without much hesitation.
“Sit next to me. It’s just the two of us here.”
“Just two…”
Muttering that, Yuri came to the conclusion that Eisel and Kaen hadn’t found Zeto yet, and he felt a sense of pleasure for some reason.
Yuri carefully sits next to Jeto, and he smiles.
“Shall we take a break?”
“Uh, huh… Is that so…?”
Yuri was confused by many thoughts about why she was taking a break and what it meant to take a break.
[ Master. ]
Beno, who was watching this, called out to Yuri.
Unfortunately, it had been a long time since they had a place together, and Beno’s voice had no time to reach Yuri, who was completely absorbed in Zeto’s smile.
[ Haa… ]
At this, Beno let out a deep sigh, and Beno, who decided that it would be better for him to realize it himself, bit his mouth shut.
***
“I deliberately prepared three wooden bottles by matching the numbers…”
Hanzo, who had been secretly watching the three women through the screen playing on her scroll, locked in her dark closet, touched her chin.
“I couldn’t believe it was all a man.”
All three women on the screen were at a loss for what to do with their faces reddened in front of the wooden bottle, which had been transformed into the form of Jeto.
“I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for everyone to get through the gate.”
Hanzo murmured softly.
There was a lot of meaning in his words.
Actually, the disguise he put into the wooden bottle wasn’t perfect.
Even if the appearance was reproduced without an inch of error, it is because if the acting of the wooden soldier is clumsy, it will be exposed quickly.
Generally, his wooden bottle was to increase the probability of cheating by uttering words that would normally work.
However, if there was an exception, he could fully capture the character only if he knew it.
Hanzo’s transcendental disguise was already dangerous enough to go beyond the standards of human techniques and belong to the same axis as possession, necromancer, and spirit.
So, during his lifetime, Hanzo tended not to perform disguises himself. His transgressive ninja technique messes up the caster’s memory.
So what he came up with was a wooden bottle.
If you cast the disguise technique on the wooden soldier instead, you can follow the character’s behavior or tone without any risk.
A man who was sincere in many ways.
That’s right, the art of ninja was the same as the basics of ninja. I don’t know what it is now, but at least it was when he was alive.
“I was lucky that the person they had in their heart was an old friend of mine who had just passed by.”
Hanzo turned his head to examine the scroll next to him.
There, a black-haired young man with white bandages around his eyes was fighting with a wooden soldier he had prepared.
“By the way, reincarnation again. And blindly? Gods are terrible too.”
Hanzo clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Jeto, who was seen inside the scroll, was the reincarnation of his close friend, the King of Conquest. Unlike his previous life, he was blind for some reason, but it was certain that he was the King of Conquerors.
As evidence of that, the fact that his energy detected by the tomb was the same as that of the King of Conquest he met in his lifetime, and that the only wife of the King of Conquest, Do-hwa, came out of the door of deception.
Hanzo closed his eyes.
He remembered the moment he first met the Conqueror King.
‘Are you the ninja Hanzo I’ve been hearing about?’
‘Yes. Aren’t you the king of Wolguk, which has been quite noisy these days? What are you doing? Rather, is it okay for the king of a country to parade in front of a ninja without an escort and brazenly expose his neck?’
‘If you can cut it, cut it now. He must have already received the king’s order.’
So how did Yue-guk swallow Hwa-guk?
The mad king of the kingdom of moon suggested a pacifist solution.
Only one duel.
With that, the fate of the two nations was decided.
At that time, Yue was already much bigger than Hua, and the foolish king of Hua accepted this with a smile.
Hanzo was also foolish.
He should have stopped the king, but he didn’t want to fight with the king of Yue.
I couldn’t stand the blood that was boiling after the first meeting.
Since then, Hanjo has been defeated in a duel, and the kingdom of China has also become a kingdom of wolves, so Hanjo wondered if he should serve the king of the kingdom of wol, but he said that it was not necessary.
‘Aren’t ninjas all people who are obsessed with loyalty? Jim has no intention of doing such a cruel thing. He only wants one thing from you. Let’s get together and drink sometime.’
As an aside, the king of conquest did not drink alcohol.
On the other hand, Hanzo, who was an excellent ninja, had a tolerance for alcohol.
‘Looking at it now, I guess it was just a drag to prevent dangerous things from happening when drinking.’
Looking at the scroll, Hanzo thought so.
“But…”
Hanzo raised the corner of his mouth.
It is true that it was fun.
It didn’t take long for him to become his friend.
Hanzo was able to hear many stories while sharing a drink with him.
‘Hanzo, it’s true. Jim is reincarnated.’
‘Reincarnation? Are you talking about reincarnation?’
‘This is only you and your wife know. You’d better keep his mouth tied.’
‘This nobleman slept heavily.’
At the time, I thought that Hanzo was talking nonsense while drunk.
Until Do-hwa, his wife and the queen of Wol-guk, came to visit him and made a request from her.
‘You know that my husband is reincarnated, right?’
‘Did you really say that to the queen?’
‘If he dies in this life and reincarnates, if he has another woman in his arms besides me… Please kill him. It’s good if you don’t have to choose the means and methods.’
‘…The queen?’
‘It’s a thought I follow these days. We don’t have much time left before we start subjugation.’
‘Even if it reincarnates…’
‘I heard that ninjas complete their mission even after death.’
‘That’s…’
It was just propaganda to spread the loyalty of ninjas.
‘I know. No matter how great I am, I will never be able to avoid death, so I will close my eyes one day. That’s what I threw halfway through. Don’t worry too much, hehehe…’
Dohwa put something on her desk with a smile on her face.
‘This is…’
‘It’s a gift. I don’t think I’ll be able to see you often from now on.’
What Dohwa handed over was a small jewel.
Afterwards, she found out through a jeweler that it was a very precious jewel to call it a simple gift.
In fact, it was her last moment to meet Dohwa in her lifetime, and it didn’t take long for the brilliant moon to disintegrate as she feared.
The Conqueror of Wolguk, who left for a large-scale subjugation, and his wife, Dohwa, met their end while fighting the goblins.
Wolguk, which was the only unified country in the East throughout history, had no successor, so naturally chaos came and its power weakened, and each country stood up and everything went back to the way it was before.
As if the moon, which dazzled all the lands of the East, never existed.
“A ninja fulfills his mission even in death…”
As Hanzo looked at Zeto, he pondered those words.
He was obviously dead.
There was no more body left.
Now, his body was nothing more than a spiritual body to observe the great ninjas of the future generation.
“Let’s see… After being reincarnated, if he had another woman, did she ask to kill him…? One looks like her reincarnation…”
Of the three women who followed him, one had the same aura as Dohwa, but the others were an exception.
“Neither the king nor the queen… Neither of them seems to have any memory, but a mission is a mission… You should at least pretend to complete it.”
It is a body that cannot handle any physical force, but it was possible to manipulate the inside of the tomb he had prepared with his will.
“My friend, it’s half nonsense, so don’t be too angry.”
***
ㅡSuddenly!
The sound of a wooden doll splitting resonates in my ears.
‘Is there a wooden bottle left?’
I quickly passed the second gate and was in the middle of the third gate, the ‘Anomalous Gate’.
A ninja must be able to face any variable without panic.
From noble mtl dot com
I’m sure it was that sentence.
The content of the gate was all about knocking down the wooden soldiers who came out with all kinds of weapons attached to their bodies.
But the wooden soldiers were pretty good, so I was practicing my swordsmanship with the Yeokcheon sealed for the first time in a while.
‘A demon who used to deal with reverse… Keraf said that swordsmanship is different.’
I firmly believed that if I continued like this, I would be able to acquire the swordsmanship I used to use when I was a demon.
That’s also the case because this time the King’s progress reached 10% and he got a skill as a reward.
What was unusual was the name of the skill.
In the skill column of the status window, ‘This is the order of the Conqueror King.’ There was a sentence called
How to use is really simple.
When I issue an order to someone, the person receiving the order receives a beneficial effect, or ‘buff’.
I don’t know yet what type of buff it will give you, but it’s expected to be very useful.
‘I want to try it soon.’
It was the moment when I cut off the neck of the last wooden bottle with that thought in mind.
ㅡPatter!!
Something falls from the ceiling.
ㅡ Kung!
It made a heavy sound as it fell from the ceiling.
ㅡCoooung!
They were wooden soldiers.
There were quite a few of them.
Originally, if you catch five wooden bottles, the test of the gate will end, but the number of wooden bottles that suddenly fell seemed well over twenty.
‘No matter how hard this number… It would be difficult without using inverse…’
It was the first variable I encountered at the door of the anomaly.
even after reincarnation kaen are still a yandere
