Before reading this chapter, I recommend you to read Chapter 352 "The Strangeness of Source One" and Chapter 353 "Don't Be So Arrogant Within My Attack Range". I buried one in these two chapters until this chapter

It was just revealed, but it seems that no readers have noticed the foreshadowing about Mamiya before.

Among all the people, only Amachi recognized what Shintaro looked like because he was the "original ninja" in Shiranui.

On the way to pursue Shintaro, A-Machi frequently climbed tall trees to look for Shintaro.

Although his close combat ability is mediocre, in addition to his good level of jujitsu, Atachi is average in the three arts of stealth, breath holding, and assassination. But he is also a kunoichi after all. Climbing a tree like this is not suitable for him.

It's nothing to her.

A large tree several meters high, Omachi can climb up as if flying.

Although this example may not sound very nice, Atachi's climbing speed is really like that of a monkey.

Since he has no idea of ​​Shintaro's whereabouts, he can only rely on Amachi's eyes to track him.

Atachi's eyesight is very good. Even a bee hundreds of meters away can be clearly seen by Atachi. His dynamic vision is excellent. This is one of the reasons why Atachi's marksmanship is so good.

After climbing up a tall tree again, crouching on a thick trunk and quickly looking around, A-Machi finally saw the face he had been looking for.

"I saw Shintaro!"

As Machi jumped down from the tree, he said to Lin and others under the tree.

"Shintaro went in that direction!" Amachi pointed in a certain direction, "There are three people following him!"

"Your eyesight is really amazing..." After praising Atachi for helping him a lot, Lin waved her hand and motioned for the people around her to follow and pursue Shintaro.

Every time they walked a certain distance, Atachi would climb a nearby large tree or a higher house to confirm and correct their pursuit direction.

When A-Machi climbed up a tree again, she suddenly saw more than twenty black figures approaching them from the north at great speed.

Looking at these twenty or so black figures, A-Machi's pupils shrank slightly, and then he hurriedly shouted to Lin and others below:

"An enemy is approaching!"

As soon as A-Machi's warning sounded, more than twenty black figures jumped out from Lin and others' field of vision.

Looking at the more than twenty men in black who suddenly appeared, different people had different expressions.

Almost everyone, headed by Lin and Mamiya, had serious expressions on their faces, staring closely at the twenty or so men in black who suddenly appeared.

Only Yuan Yi showed strong surprise when he saw these twenty-odd men in black... no, to be precise, after seeing the black costumes on these twenty-odd men in black.

This group of men in black are all full of murderous intent, and you can tell at a glance that they are coming with bad intentions.

And in fact - it is indeed the case.

As soon as this group of men in black appeared, an old man in the leader waved his hand, and a kunai shot out from his palm and flew straight towards Yuan Yi.

Facing this shuriken that was so fast that only its afterimage could be seen, Genichi didn't even move his brows. He only turned his body slightly to one side to avoid the shuriken.

After the shuriken flew past him, Genichi murmured in a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"This method..."

Seeing that this group of men in black launched an attack on them, and after confirming that these men were enemies, Lin no longer hesitated and waved to the gunners behind her.

Although looking at the attire of these men in black, they did not seem to be ninjas from Shiranui, Lin had no interest in knowing the identities of these enemies.

Now she just wants to use the big cannon to blow away these people, and then continue to chase Shintaro.

However, as soon as Lin raised her hand, Yuan Yi shouted to Lin loudly:

"Xiao Lin, you take the rest of the people to chase that Shintaro."

"I'll stay and deal with these people."

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Lin cast a puzzled look at Yuan Yi.

"I have a deep grudge with this group of people." Yuan Yi said softly, "My grudge with them must be settled by myself. No one can interfere."

"Hey!" Yuan Yi shouted to the group of men in black, "I should be your target, right?"

The leader of the old man said solemnly:

"Our target is only Kinoshita Genichi. We don't care whether the others are dead or alive, where they are going or what they are going to do."

"...I understand." After looking at the serious-faced Genichi for a while, Lin nodded vigorously, "Let's go."

Lin led everyone around the group of men in black.

As expected, this group of men in black did not attack Lin, A-Machi and the others, and just let them leave.

After Lin and the others left, only Yuan Yi and the twenty-odd men in black were left standing facing each other.

"Are you from Iga?"

Yuan Yi's tone was full of affirmation, even though the sentence pattern he used was that of a question.

"I haven't seen this costume for a long time. I haven't seen it for 40 years..."

"The unique technique of throwing shurikens has also not been seen in 40 years."

Just after seeing the black costumes of these men in black, memories that had been sealed for a long time began to emerge in Yuan Yi's mind.

After seeing the way the old man threw shurikens just now, Genichi finally determined the identity of this group of people - the ninjas of Iga.

The old man who just threw the shuriken at Yuan was Hannosuke.

"Since you still remember our Iga costumes and shuriken throwing techniques..." Hannosuke said in a calm tone.

"Of course I remember it." Genichi smiled, "After all - the battle with you Iga no Sato 40 years ago was the first time I used the Mugo Two Sword Style to fight against someone."

"This is a very meaningful battle to me. It's hard not to remember it deeply for you ninjas in Iga."

"I never thought that I would be able to see this costume and Iga no Sato's ninjutsu again in my lifetime."

"...Genichi." The black shadow gradually increased on Hannosuke's face, "I have been waiting for a full 40 years, and finally I have the opportunity to take revenge on you."

"The revenge for the destruction of Iga no Sato... I will take it back from you now!"

Hannosuke slowly pulled out the ninja sword from his waist.

After Hannosuke drew his sword, the other subordinates behind him drew their own weapons.

The expression on his face did not show any change. Yuan Yi put his hands on the hilt of the Yangshen and Yanrong swords on his left waist.

Canglanglanglang...

As the blade was pulled out inch by inch, the sword light reflected by Yangshen and Yanrong under the sunlight gradually covered Yuan Yi's face.

"bring it on."

The left and right hands holding Yan Rong and Yang Shen naturally dropped down.

“I didn’t expect to… become Iga’s enemy again…!”

…

…

Shintaro took three of his cronies to look for Etaro.

"Sir Shintaro!" One of the three cronies shouted at Shintaro, "Those people are still chasing us!"

Shintaro glanced behind him and frowned.

As early as just now, Shintaro noticed a group of people following them from a distance.

Shintaro originally wanted to ignore them and get rid of them directly.

But I didn't expect that these people were chasing me very closely, and they couldn't get rid of them even if they wanted to.

Shintaro is now a little worried that the group of people following him far behind may be the group of people with big guns...

If a bunch of "Ku" were following them, Shintaro wouldn't care.

But if the group of people with big guns are following them, it is a threat that cannot be ignored.

"Sir Shintaro." Another confidant asked, "What should we do? Should we continue to ignore them?"

"...Follow me." After being silent for a while, Shintaro ran towards a dojo not far away that was usually used to train newcomers.

While running towards the dojo, Shintaro took out a black pill from his arms.

…

…

"They ran into that house!" Amachi, who had just located Shintaro and the others' positions once again, jumped down from the tree, "That house seems to be a dojo specially used for training ninjutsu."

"Dojo?" Lin frowned.

Because A-Machi was not familiar with the "Shin Shiranui" that moved its base to Edo, so A-Machi could only roughly infer that the house might be a dojo based on the size and shape of the house.

Lin asked the gunners to conduct a final inspection of the big tubes in their hands, and then, under the guidance of Atachi, they rushed straight towards the dojo.

When they first entered the dojo, the first impression they had on Lin was that it was quiet and they couldn't hear any sound - but this was normal, after all, no one would be training in this dojo at this time.
