In the secret language of ninjas, the word kunoichi is used to refer to women. Simply put, the word "female" is separated and pronounced, and the pronunciation is "one of nine".
Later, through cultural evolution, this word gradually became the exclusive title of "Female Ninja". Those who have read "Ninja Rantaro" may also have some impressions of this setting. Although this is a funny comic, it contains a lot of knowledge about ninjas. Popular science is all based on reality.
The person Sun Yixie encountered now was one of the "Nine Ones", a female ninja, and the hiding technique used by this ninja at this moment was the so-called "invisibility technique".
In fact, the "invisibility technique" of those real ninjas is not that mysterious. As long as you can use the environment or the props you carry to hide your body in a very short period of time so that others cannot see you, that is called "invisibility", that is, It is said that even if you find a wooden box to put on your body and squat on the ground, as long as others don't notice you, you are still "invisible".
So what trick is this female ninja using now?
It was very simple. She first came to the corner next to the door, jumped up to a height close to the ceiling, and then used her weapon to hook onto the wooden pillar in the corner so that her body could hang high without falling. Use a piece of dark light-absorbing cloth that is close to the color of the surrounding environment to cover your entire body, and that will do the trick.
Some people may ask, this method is at the level of ordinary magic at best, does it really work?
Harmful, of course it works. If you don’t believe it, write a one-meter-square word "Shit" above the door of the office or classroom where you go every day, or at the angle between the wall and the ceiling. You will see people entering the room. How long does it take to find out.
This is still when there is sufficient light indoors and there is no obstruction...
If you turn off the lights and close the curtains to make the room very dark, and then cover the corner with a piece of non-reflective cloth that is the same color as the surrounding walls, the hiding effect will be much greater than yours. expected.
So...this "invisibility technique" requires hooks and cloth. Isn't it quite troublesome in terms of props?
That professional ninja must have a solution.
For example, the female ninja in front of her, excluding hidden weapons, poison, smoke bombs and the like, has two main combat weapons: a sheathed short sword, and a short scythe with a foldable scythe blade.
Both of these things could be tied to her thighs for hiding, or they could be inserted into the wooden pillars of the hut to help her hang.
And the "invisibility cloth" she used was undoubtedly the coat she wore; the coat worn by a ninja when disguising as an ordinary person, it doesn't matter what color the outer layer is, but the inner side of the clothes is probably where the "invisibility technique" is used "The required materials and colors are mostly black and green... Considering that it is winter and people generally wear loose coats, and there are more than one, this prop can be said to be very portable and easily available.
Today, after the female ninja was caught by those ashigaru and entered the house, she first pretended to be kicked, curled up on the ground and sobbed. In fact, she had used this curling up action to quietly take out the weapon from her leg... When those ashigaru who were completely unsuspecting and lustful came around, she suddenly burst into action and chopped these soldiers into pieces in a few moves.
Since this thatched house was some distance from the coast, and Keijiro was making a big fuss outside, even though the ashigaru in the house made some shouts before they died, it did not attract any attention from outside.
However, just when the female ninja finished killing everyone and was about to escape, she heard footsteps approaching quickly outside the door...
She thought it was these ashigaru accomplices who heard the noise and came to support, so she quickly jumped to the corner above. While using a short scythe to hook the pillar to stabilize her body, she quickly untied her coat and pulled it off. Turn over and shake open.
Her coat has a set of steel wires hidden inside. If you know the location of the mechanism, you can quickly open the coat into an "umbrella" shape with just a pull of one hand. In this way, lifting the garment diagonally downward can just stop her from hanging. The figure at a height.

What I'm saying here is quite hilarious, but in fact, it only took less than five seconds for the female ninja to complete her "invisibility" from jumping up the wall.
Five seconds later, Sun Yixie pushed the door open and came in.
Originally, Sun Yixie's dress did not look like a companion of this group of ashigaru, so the female ninja hesitated for a while and did not take action.
But then Sun Yixie stood there and observed without panic for more than twenty seconds, and said to himself, "Could she still be invisible?" This made the female ninja's scalp numb...
The female ninja thought to herself: Ordinary people would be frightened to see such a room of torn corpses, but this person was very calm, and he only observed it for a while before saying the word "invisible", which means He had already guessed that there was a ninja hiding in the room, so if he wanted to find me next, wouldn't it just be a matter of raising his eyes?
Thinking of this, the female ninja couldn't bear it anymore. She immediately opened the "clothes curtain", pulled out the short scythe from the pillar, kicked off the pillar with both feet, and attacked and killed him.
This wave of attacks coming from a blind spot is extremely dangerous and cannot be avoided by ordinary people.
But... Sun Yixie is no longer the same Sun Yixie who would be killed even if he was attacked by a second-rate guy in the Dengzhou City inn.
Being ravaged by Chen Haihuang and Zhao Yunlong on Erxian Island... Oh no... After several months of training, Sun Yixie's attainments in sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks have reached an advanced level. Then "I would rather sneak attack the people of the world, the world The combat philosophy of "No one can sneak up on me" has penetrated into Brother Sun's bone marrow, rooted in the deepest part of his spirit, and has become a part of his instinct.
At this moment, I saw cold light and lightning shooting out, both blades coming together, and I heard the body moving suddenly, and the clothes were broken by the wind.
Sun Yixie, who was attacked by a sneak attack, almost didn't think about it, and his body moved on its own... Before the opponent's weapon touched him, he crouched down and hid his head and limbs from the attacker's attack. He reached the place where he couldn't reach, arched his back upward, and took the initiative to meet the opponent's weapon.
duang——
The next second, the female ninja felt that the sword and sickle in her hand seemed to be slashed on an extremely hard rock. Brother Sun's "back rebound" stunned her hand.
After Sun Yixie felt the force coming from his back, a smile appeared on his lips, because with just one blow, he had roughly understood the opponent's strength.
Although the Japanese masters in this universe also have a variety of internal skills, the female ninja that Sun Yixie met at this moment obviously had average skills.
With her martial arts, relying on two sharp weapons, a small space, and being unprepared, it would be no problem to kill a few ordinary ashigaru, but to cause damage to Sun Yixie, who is wearing a family heirloom armor. Injury is difficult.
What Sun Yixie is more afraid of with this treasured armor are the "shocks" and "blunt blows" from those with high internal strength or infinite strength, but what he is least afraid of is the "cutting blows" which are not very powerful and rely solely on sharpness. .
After the first round of confrontation between the two, the female ninja was surprised to find that the opponent's body was somehow capable of making the two short blades in her hands unable to break through her defenses.
While she was stunned for a second, Sun Yixie, who deflected the opponent's first blow, had already adjusted his posture and was about to turn around and sprinkle lime powder.
But this time, Brother Sun didn't expect that the other party was also a master of this trick.
Just when he could see the female ninja's face clearly and was about to hit her face with a handful of lime powder, the female ninja's smoke bomb had already been thrown out first.
Peng——
As a burst of gray smoke exploded at the door of the house, nothing could be seen in this thatched house, which was not big in the first place.
"Damn it! Are you banning me from smoking?" At this time, Sun Yixie, besides blurting out the curses, also had an idea in his mind, which was to try to learn the recipe of the other party's smoke bomb, because it seemed to be quite easy to use. .
Thinking about it, he couldn't let go of his grip. Sun Yixie, who couldn't see for a while, didn't dare to raise his voice. He quickly jumped back, took a stance, and turned his attention to his hearing.
He didn't know how the other party could catch the opponent in this smoke, but it was always right to be careful. He should first acquiesce that the other party had a way...
Unfortunately, he thought too much.
The female ninja actually had no way of locking down the enemy in the smoke, and her ear skills were not as good as Sun Yixie's - her purpose of setting off the smoke bomb was not to fight back, but just to escape.
Brother Sun... I was somewhat misled by some of the super-type ninja comics I read back then. I always felt that when ninjas started fighting with me, they would have to decide the winner, and many times they would even come up to confront me.
But in fact, most of these real-type ninjas are not very good in frontal combat.
Their main job is intelligence work such as lurking, infiltrating, eavesdropping, and stealing items. They rarely even engage in assassinations, because the success rate of sending ninjas to assassinate is ridiculously low. Look at how many Japanese celebrities in history are Is it clearly recorded that someone was assassinated by a "ninja"?
So after a sure-shot sneak attack unexpectedly failed, the female ninja decisively chose not to fight with the opponent in front of her. After throwing the smoke bomb, she ran away.
When it comes to "light kung fu", their ninjas still have something. They are not only fast, but also highlight the word "light". Whether they are walking or running, climbing around the beam, or even breathing and heartbeat... they can suppress everything. Very low.
Sun Yixie faced off against the air in the thatched house for a while. When the smoke almost dissipated, he was sure that his opponent had escaped.
At this time, he thought belatedly: "Hey! So these ashigaru gang really caught a spy by mistake?"
But after thinking about this, he no longer bothered about letting the other party escape. After all, it had nothing to do with him. He originally wanted to be a "hero to save the beauty". Since there was no one who needed to be saved, it didn't matter. ; The female ninja most likely took him as an enemy before taking action, and walking away with one strike meant that killing was not the opponent's purpose, but escaping was.
After carefully walking out of the hut and looking around, Sun Yixie finally felt relieved and turned back toward the harbor.
At this time, Huang Donglai had already relied on some stones picked up from the ground and cooperated with Keijiro to destroy all the ashigaru.
Interestingly, the "father and son" who had previously played the role of husband and child of the female ninja were no longer among the crowd. It seems that they had been paying attention to the situation over there in the hut, and when they saw that their companions had escaped, they hurriedly Gone for a walk.
After the battle, none of the people who were intercepted at the port dared to step forward to thank the three "chivalrous men". Everyone just lowered their heads and quickly picked up their luggage and dispersed.
Of course, this is not their fault. No one can tell whether there are people working for the Maori clan among this group of travelers, let alone whether there are other spies and spies hidden nearby... If anyone dares to come up and talk to Shuangxi now If you talk to Keijiro, you might be secretly targeted immediately.
"Hey, brother, thank you so much." Keijiro had already used his vermilion spear to break the flying rope wrapped around his legs. He shook the blood on the tip of the spear toward the ground and faced him. Walking towards Huang Donglai with a smile.
It seemed that Keijiro was not surprised by the reaction of those people, and he had long been accustomed to this kind of life-and-death killings.
"It's easy to talk." Huang Donglai was being polite to the other party when he saw Sun Yixie walking back alone, so he raised his voice a little and said to Brother Sun who was seven or eight meters away, "What's the situation over there? "
Sun Yixie did not answer immediately, but just waved his hand. When he got closer, he lowered his voice and replied: "That woman is a master. When I entered, all the ashigaru in the room were dead, and she even sneaked up on me. Fortunately, I still have some strength to prevent her sneak attack, otherwise I would have suffered a serious blow."
"Oh? So... those ashigaru who took advantage of the situation really accidentally caught a craftsman?" Huang Dong said, and subconsciously looked at the crowd, and quickly discovered that the woman just now " Husband and children" were missing.
"Anyway, even if it is, it's none of our business." Sun Yixie shrugged.
"Haha, isn't that great?" Keijiro also joined their conversation at this time, "Those villains deserved to be killed. Anyway, as long as everyone is fine." He paused and glanced at Sun Huang The faces of the two of them said, "By the way, it's our first time meeting you, Keijiro. I haven't asked you for advice yet?"
This Keijiro is quite familiar with people. Of course, this casual and generous attitude is not annoying.
"Uh..." This question seemed to make Huang Donglai feel a little pained, but he still answered, "His name is Kameda Kazufeng."
The next second, Sun Yixie also pointed at Huang Donglai and said: "His name is Edo Xudong."
"Ah?" Keijiro was a little confused when he saw this. Firstly, he didn't understand why the two people in front of him didn't introduce themselves but chose to introduce each other. Secondly, he was quite surprised that they both had last names.
So why is this scene happening?
In fact, it was because before Sun and Huang landed in Japan, they argued for a long time about what false names they should use in Japan.
Sun Yixie planned to use the name "Mitsui Hisashi" from the beginning, but was naturally ridiculed by Huang Donglai. When Huang Donglai planned to call himself "Da Kongyi", he was definitely greeted with "Go away" and "Are you worthy?" Such a backlash.
Finally, after a while of wrangling, the two made an appointment, and the other party would choose a name for themselves, and it would be good or bad.
So, we saw the boss's reluctant expression and the "mutual introduction" operation when they were asked for their names.
"Hahaha...Okay, Edo-kun, Kameda-kun." Fortunately, Keijiro has a very open-minded personality. He believes that if others want to explain many things, they will naturally explain them. If they don't want to explain, asking will only make everyone uncomfortable, so He didn't ask any more questions. He was just stunned for a second, and then he happily continued, "I'm grateful to you both for taking care of me today. How about it? Do you want to come with me to find a place to have a drink? I'll do it. Treating me as a thank you to you two."
When Sun Huang saw that such a talkative Japanese knight took the initiative to invite him, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
It didn't matter whether they were invited or not. The point was that they were unfamiliar with each other. It was better to have such a guide than to wander around on their own. They could get some useful information from Keijiro.
Therefore, the two of them just exchanged glances, then both put on a "bold expression" that was not inferior to Keijiro's and agreed with a smile.
But they didn't know that this would lead to a fight in all directions in Chuanpengzhuang, and the sword master of Yanliu Island would become famous.
