Chapter 413 Ogata VS Shuntaro [Explosion 1W5](1/7)
Yesterday's chapter was blocked, maybe because someone reported it...
I have made modifications and am silently waiting for the ban to be lifted...
For those who didn’t have time to read yesterday’s chapter, go and read it elsewhere.
What a pity for those very talented commentators...
[Thank you to the new leader for "making the hero burst into tears"! I originally planned to post an update today, but because of the appearance of the new leader, I will post more today! Update 1W5! Please thank the new leader.

"Shuntaro-sama! Shuntaro-sama!"
As soon as Shuntaro returned to Shiranui, he heard calls one after another coming from behind him.
After hearing these calls, Shuntaro was stunned for a moment before he realized that someone was calling him.
In the past two days, Shuntaro has been going to watch the "Gozen Trial Match".
In front of Majima Goro and others, Shuntaro always used the name he used before becoming a ninja in Shiranui: Goryoku.
Because he has been used to hearing people call him "Foroku" for the past two days, and now he suddenly switched to "Shuntaro", which made him a little uncomfortable.
Shuntaro turned his head and looked back.
He saw a ninja striding towards him.
This ninja is relatively unfamiliar, probably a lower-level chuunin or genin.
This ninja didn't say any nonsense. When he came to Shuntaro, he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully:
"Shuntaro-sama, Enma-sama is looking for you."
"Lord Enma? Okay, I understand."
It's dusk now.
The sunset has dyed the sky a dazzling golden yellow.
Shuntaro was bathed in the glow and quickly ran to the mansion where Enma lived.
Arriving at Enma's mansion and entering Enma's room, Shuntaro saw Enma sitting cross-legged on the tatami.
"Shuntaro, you're here, sit down wherever you want." Enma pointed in front of him.
Shuntaro has never been someone who cared about etiquette.
Even without Enma's advice, he would carelessly choose the more casual "sitting cross-legged" instead of the formal "sitting kneeling".
As soon as Shuntaro's butt touched the tatami, Enma asked:
"I heard that you have been going to watch the "Yu Qian Trial Combination" in the past two days. How about "Yu Qian Trial Combination"? Is "Yu Qian Trial Combination" good to watch?"
"Yesterday was boring." Shuntaro said, "Today is finally a little more interesting because we eliminated a lot of inferior people yesterday."
"How's his fight, Kitaro?"
"I'm sorry, Enma-sama, as you know, the relationship between Kitaro and I has never been good. I didn't pay attention to how Kitaro was playing."
"Ha... you are considered companions after all, so it's better to take care of each other."
Balrog sat up slightly straighter.
"Okay, let's talk about business."
"Shuntaro, I have a mission for you."
After hearing the word "mission", Shuntaro's brows raised slightly.
"After Shintaro's tracking, we finally found the hiding place of the traitorous ninja."
"If it takes too long, he may change his hiding place or find that we have found him."
"So make a quick decision and capture that traitorous ninja alive tonight!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Balrog's face.
"If you dare to help the Kus escape, you must be sentenced to death in front of all the ninjas in the village! Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
"If we can't capture him alive, just..."
Balrog raised his hand, gestured with a hand knife, and slashed his neck horizontally.
"I leave this task to you, Shuntaro."
"I will assign Zhou Taro, who is good at using hidden weapons, to be your assistant."
"Do it at twilight nine o'clock!"
The majestic voice of the demon fell.
A hint of hesitation appeared in Shuntaro's eyes.
The flickering look of hesitation was like a swaying flame.
Shuntaro slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, when he opened his eyes again, the hesitation in Shuntaro's eyes had completely dissipated.
"Understood."
"In addition to Shuutaro, I will send 4 more chuunin and 10 genin to attack you. Is this enough combat power?"
"That's enough." Shuntaro nodded lightly.
…
…
Enma watched Shuntaro leave.
After confirming that Shuntaro had left, Enma shouted toward the door:
"Pass the order!"
A ninja who had been guarding the door of Enma's room quickly entered Enma's room, and then knelt on one knee in front of Enma.
"Go and call me Taro Ji and Taro Shu." Enma gave his order concisely and concisely.
The ninja responded loudly and then left the Balrog's sight at a speed as fast as the wind.
Gokutaro, who was responsible for participating in the "Gozen Trial Combination", had just returned from the martial arts trial venue at this time.
Just after returning to Shiranui, he received a summons from Enma, which made Kitaro very unhappy.
But the dissatisfaction ended with dissatisfaction. Although Ji Tairou acted arrogantly, he never dared to have any disobedience to Enma.
Shuutaro arrived in front of Enma one step ahead of Gokutaro.
In Jiji, after everyone arrived on Tuesday, Balrog didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point.
"You two should also know that we caught a 'Ku' named 'Akang' in 'Ku Village' last night."
"This Akang is a big fish. It is very possible that he has closely assisted the traitorous ninja who helped the Kus escape."
"After torturing him for a long time, he finally admitted the crime he had committed."
"Not only did he confess that he had closely assisted the traitorous ninja."
"It also revealed who the outsider in the village was who had been cooperating with the traitorous ninja."
"Oh?" Zhou Taro raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? What kind of ungrateful guy dares to cause trouble for us Shiranui?"
"That guy is said to be quite famous in Edo."
As the demon spoke, he sneered and shook his shoulders.
"She is a woman who works in Yoshiwara and is nicknamed 'Yoshiwara Toxin'"
"Melon show."
"Melon show?!" Kitaro screamed.
"Jutarou, what's wrong?" Enma cast a confused look at Jitaro, "Do you know this person?"
"I know her." Jitaro nodded vigorously, "This person is well-known in Yoshiwara. Although I haven't seen her much, I heard that although she is small, her swordsmanship is very good."
"I seem to have heard of this person." Shutaro nodded and agreed, "It is said that she frequently went out to Yoshiwara to catch those who failed to repay credit or made trouble and absconded in Yoshiwara, so she was also a minor in Edo.
A famous person."
"Oh..." Enma cast a somewhat stern gaze on Kitaro, "I almost forgot, you kid, Kitaro, has been hanging around Yoshiwara day and night since we moved our base to Edo..."
Hearing Enma's words, a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Ji Tairou's face.
After Ji Tairou coughed softly a few times, the expression on his face returned to seriousness:
"Lord Enma, are you sure that Gua Shengxiu is one of the masterminds behind the defection of the Kus?"
"In my impression, she seems to be just an ordinary person working at the Shirobei Club in Yoshiwara."
