Ichiro Sakabe was secretly happy when he saw Tokiaki agreed to accept him as a disciple.
He was chosen by his master to raise and protect Tamamo for more than ten years, so he was certainly not a short-witted person. It seemed like he was suppressing Hattori just now, but in fact he was just pretending to make the young man appear helpless in order to hope that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would show mercy.
His move was not for the sake of Hattori Heizaemon, but in the hope of deepening the bond between the two parties, so that when the enemy they encountered was too strong, Cao and Toki would retreat and abandon Tamamo no matter what.
Now that the plan was sold, Ichiro Sakabe put on a kind face, took the young man with him, and patiently taught him Chinese while walking. The young man was also smart, and he quickly learned the basic titles such as "master" and "apprentice", and followed him around Around Qian, Master, Master couldn’t stop shouting.
Shi Qian accepted a disciple for the first time, which was naturally new. Seeing his respectful behavior, he became more and more interested and said to him: "Since you want to return to the Song Dynasty with me, the name Hattori Heizaemon, in Chinese, It's inevitably too long, so I need to change it to a shorter name."
Ichiro Sakabe translated for him. After hearing this, the boy immediately knelt down and muttered a string of words. Ichiro Sakabe smiled and said, "He wants to ask Master to give him a name."
Shi Qian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking that I don't know how to write poems and lyrics, so how could I get a good name? Subconsciously looking at Cao Cao, Cao Cao shook his head and chuckled: "Your own apprentice may be called Hattori Kitty or Hattori Puppy. It's up to you."
Shi Qian shook his head and said, "This is my disciple who opened the mountain sect. It's better to have a more resounding name."
After thinking hard for a moment, he suddenly felt blessed and said happily: "Yes! I have to practice these skills from a young age. At his age, although he can practice, he will inevitably suffer a lot and must endure what ordinary people can do. Only when you can't bear the suffering can you achieve success in your art. From now on, just call yourself Hattori Shinobu in the name of tolerance."
"Hatto, Shinobu, Shinobi, Shinobi Hattori!" The young man heard Ichiro Sakabe relaying the meaning of Shiqian and muttered it several times. He liked the meaning of the word "nin" very much and thanked him repeatedly: "Master, disciple, Shinobi Hattori!" !”
——Many years later, this son became a master of the art and returned to Fusang to recruit disciples. When passing on the art, he always emphasized the word "forbearance". Later, it evolved into a rule that his disciples could not exceed, and was known as the "Tao of Tolerance". Its various skills are called ninjutsu. Those who follow the Way of Ninja and inherit Ninjutsu are called ninjas.
In addition, because he was concerned about his master's "Flea on the Drum" passing on his skills, Hattori Shinobi divided the ninjas into three levels according to their abilities, namely jounin, chunin and genin. Only those with superior skills can surpass all other ninjas. , can be called the "god flea".
The God of Ninja is also the God of Ninjutsu.
This is a later topic and will not be mentioned.
But he said that everyone walked forward for another ten or twenty miles, and gradually arrived at the edge of the forest. Shi Qian pointed and said: "Brother, when we came out of this forest, there was a camp. There were more than a hundred people in the camp, all carrying long knives, using big guns, and wearing Armor.”
Cao Cao sneered and said: "Since we agreed to send them to Kyoto, we will naturally kill Buddha if we stand in the way, and kill people if we stand in the way of others."
Ichiro Sakabe said in shock: "Master Wu, there are more than a hundred enemies, and there are many skilled warriors among them. We must not underestimate him."
"A good warrior?" Cao Cao frowned and touched his belly - inside his robe was the fish scale armor taken from the Holy Mother of Wuling, and then touched his waist - above the belt, hanging a giant python that was full of food. The Hualong Sword, which had been painstakingly worked on, laughed loudly, with murderous intent showing up, and said proudly: "How can it be that there are only a hundred or so people in my eyes? You just stay here and wait for the good news."
After saying that, he stepped out, Shi Qian straightened his back and followed closely behind. Ichiro Sakabe gritted his teeth and shouted: "You two adults are helping each other in a righteous way, how can I be timid and fall behind? You guys guard the algae girl, I want to kill the enemy side by side with these two adults!"
Shi Qian nodded and said, "No wonder your master entrusted his daughter to his care. He is indeed a good man!"
The three of them strode outside the forest, only to see a small camp blocking the road. Outside the camp, several sergeants wearing straw sandals, walking clothes, and sleeveless bamboo armor saw them. They exclaimed and ran away screaming. Enter the camp.
Ichiro Sakabe whispered: "These people are all ashigaru, and those who are ashigaru are infantry. They must have gone to invite samurai to fight."
Sure enough, in just a moment, more than a hundred people rushed out of the camp gate with a lot of noise.
Cao Cao looked around and saw about twenty people in the group, wearing various iron armors. Some were holding long knives, ranging from five feet to one foot long, or holding long spears with the spearhead as long as a sword. He knew that It must be the "nodachi" and "big spear" that Ichiro Sakabe mentioned. I couldn't help but laugh: These Fuso people are short in stature, but they like to use such long weapons. Is it to make up for their lack of length?
The eighty or ninety people behind were all wearing straw sandals and cloth, wearing bamboo armor covering their chests. They had spears with long bamboo handles and short heads, and some of them were holding long bows and arrows. He thought to himself: From this point of view, if the so-called ashigaru are ordinary soldiers, those samurai are similar to generals.
The samurai and ashigaru came out of the camp and were about to rush up with a drum. Suddenly they saw Cao Cao and Shi Qian, who were tall and in awe. One of them with particularly colorful armor, probably the leader, opened his hand to stop everyone and rushed towards them. Ichiro Sakabe yelled a few words.
Ichiro Sakabe responded loudly, with a proud look on his face. After hearing what he said, the faces of the samurai and ashigaru changed.
The warrior leader also showed a shocked expression. He looked Cao Cao and Shi Qian up and down, and suddenly spoke in Chinese: "Are you the ones who came across the sea on a giant whale, crushed many of us to death, and killed our scouts?"
A samurai beside him, carrying a nodachi that was more than ten feet long, jumped on his feet and shouted: "They lied! Yesterday, a giant whale did wash up on the shore and crushed my men to death, but I didn't see either of them." .”
This man was the samurai who chased Ichiro Sakabe and others on the coast yesterday, but was later frightened away by the giant whale.
Cao Cao said calmly: "The two of us are sitting astride the back of a giant whale. With your size, naturally you can't see that high."
The warrior was immediately speechless - he was so tall that he couldn't even see what was happening on the back of the giant whale.
Another samurai cried out: "Could it be that Fujiwara Nagami's daughter really has the fate of a queen? Otherwise, why would a strange man come across a giant whale to save her?"
"Bada!" the warrior leader was furious, slapped the man hard, and shouted: "That demon girl is not the daughter of Lord Zhong Nayan, but a fox demon who turned into a beautiful woman. We have been deeply favored by the emperor, how can we let the fox demon A demon enters the capital and confuses the world?"
The samurai carrying the long sword shouted: "That's it! Whether it's a whale or a dragon, as long as we kill them, everything can return to normal. I'll behead this person!"
The warrior leader also wanted to see the skills of Cao Cao and Cao Cao, and nodded immediately. With the roar of the long sword warrior, carrying a nodachi that was more than twice as long as himself, he strode forward, clatter, clatter, and rushed to Cao Cao in the blink of an eye. A few feet in front of him, he yelled "Hey", jumped up, and slashed out the Nodachi fiercely.
Cao Cao was interested in observing Fusang's martial arts skills. When he saw him taking action, he thought to himself: The blade of this sword is so long that it is naturally inconvenient to operate. He can only use the powerful method of opening and closing. However, he is so short and has no great strength. He can't use it forcefully. The knife, however, is inevitably dull.
Then he took a step to the side, avoided the blade gently and deftly, and smoothly pulled out his sword and swung it out. Hearing a clang sound, the wild sword was suddenly broken in two, and all the warriors couldn't help but scream in horror - it turned out that this man used wild swords. The Tai Sword is a famous weapon in Kyoto, but unexpectedly, under Lao Cao's sword, it was as vulnerable as dead bamboo and rotten wood.
The warrior felt a light touch in his hand, and before the cut-off half of the blade hit the ground, he saw his opponent suddenly take a step forward, like a hungry tiger emerging from the forest. Then he felt a chill on his neck, his vision increased rapidly, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "Okay Fast pace, such a fast knife, he took advantage of his height, damn it!" Then he died angrily.
When the warrior leader saw his subordinates being beheaded, he roared angrily, pointed at Cao Cao and said: "This magic sword in your hand can only be used by my lord!" Then he shouted in Fusang language, and more than a hundred people behind him gathered together. Scream, raise your sword and shoot.
Cao Cao shouted: "Tokikan, Ichiro Banbe, you two go around behind the enemy lines, don't let anyone go!"
Before he finished speaking, he roared, slammed into the enemy group, unfolded his sword skills, and the dragon-changing sword turned into a wave of red swords. Wherever it passed, the blade was like wood and the armor was like paper, killing seven or eight people in an instant. The warriors were either beheaded or had their waists broken, causing blood to flow into the sky.
Ichiro Banbe did not expect Cao Cao to be so brave. He was stunned on the spot for a moment and said blankly: "Who else in the world can match such unparalleled skills? It is really a great blessing for the Lord to have such a peerless swordsman come to help. !”
As soon as the leading warrior came face to face with him, he was killed by Cao Cao. The rest of the people couldn't help but be in chaos. Some people shouted and fired arrows lightly. Although Cao Cao couldn't understand Fuso's words, Ichiro Banbe reminded him loudly, and he easily put on the fish-scale helmet and pulled the hidden buckle. , even the front door is covered, only the eyes are exposed.
Several bamboo arrows were shot at Lao Cao, who was protected by fish scale armor in his clothes. The arrows bounced away, and everyone became more and more panicked. He took advantage of the situation and killed more than ten people. The only remaining warrior, whose liver and gallbladder was broken, pointed at Lao Cao and shouted: "You are not a human, you are the devil who came to save the fox demon!"
Then he screamed strangely in Fuso language. Ichiro Sakabe listened and shouted urgently: "Master Wu, they are trying to escape. They say you are Demon King Hashun, holding a magic sword, and you are going to Mount Kurama to ask the Great Tengu Ghost Iphoyan to kill you." you also!"
This is exactly what it is: Tai Ye's sword is long and his armor is bright, and Lao Cao is unparalleled in cutting grass. The demon king appears on Fuso Island, and the Tengu goes crazy in Kurama Mountain.
