But when he turned back, the shadow suddenly disappeared. When he tried to chase Maitreya again, he saw that he had already disappeared.
———————————————————————————
dividing line
At this time, Bai Di San Taifu was in dire straits.
Outside the Jonin Pavilion, I saw a dark crowd of ninja troops armed with bows and arrows. Kuami, who was commanding under a giant umbrella, had already put on Jonin clothes in advance. He thought he had a chance to win.
The narrow hut of Bai Di San Taifu was already filled with all kinds of hidden weapons and arrows, and he barely had a place to put his feet when he was barefoot.
He didn't expect that Kuami, whom he cultivated with his own hands, would betray him so heartlessly, but he didn't get angry and yelled in despair, because as the oldest jounin in Iga, he had been accustomed to such betrayal and subversion after many years of experience.
.
"Hehehehe!!! Quickly! Kill this old guy for me! I've waited too long!!! Quickly! Quickly!" Kuang Ami was holding a giant umbrella and jumping back and forth with both feet, like a butt.
A monkey that has grown backwards.
"What are you so proud of?" At this moment, an old man wearing a long robe and a black hat suddenly appeared in front of him.
Behind him, four ninjas wearing white masks stood solemnly. The strange thing was that there was no expression on the masks they wore.
"Oh! Your Excellency Fujibayashi!" I saw Kuami, who was arrogant just now, bowing obediently: "This time I was able to obtain the power of Igari thanks to your great help."
The old man who was called Fujirinza didn't appreciate it. He looked at Kuami who nodded and bowed coldly: "Don't do this to me! I'm not an idiot like Baiji Santafu who will be flattered by you.
If you are confused, give me some reality. I helped you capture Iga. How can you thank me?"
At this time, the ninja troops around Kuami saw this person and all started talking: "Oh! That person is Igari's Jonin, Fujibayashiza!"
"It is said that when he was young, he competed with Momochi Santao for the position of Iga jounin!"
"I heard that Bai Di's men defeated that general."
Suddenly, Fujibayashi threw a dart! The arrogant ninja was immediately choked by the dart! He fell to the ground and died.
"As we agreed before," Fujibayashi said disapprovingly: "I don't care about anything else if Igali is attached to Xuanyuanli from now on, as long as I obey Xuanyuanli's command."
Kuangami's face suddenly turned redder. He didn't expect that Fujibayashi would suddenly reveal their secret discussions: "Your Majesty Fujibayashi~~"
"Is there any problem? Do I need to hide anything? What is Igali like now? It's a mess! Is it still as prosperous as it was when our Fujibayashi, Hyakuchi, and Hattori families ruled? I just want everyone here to know that I
I will definitely get back what Fujirinza has lost!" It was obvious that this old man with gray hair on his temples was still brooding over the frustrations of his youth.
At this moment, Baiji Santafu suddenly appeared on the high platform of the Jounin Pavilion, risking being hit by a hail of arrows!
He showed no fear when facing the hundreds of archers who were aiming at him, and he did not show any shyness when facing Kuang Ami who shamefully betrayed him.
He just stared at Fujibayashi who was wearing a robe, and slowly said: "Brother Fujibayashi, you finally showed up~!!"
Fujibayashi didn't say a word as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, but Kuangami felt guilty: "Why are you still standing there? Shoot him to death!"
The archers of the Igari Ninja Army were stunned for a moment, not knowing who shot the first arrow first, and then the arrow rain began to sweep across the land in dense masses!
I saw that Bai Di San Taifu was not panicking. His left and right hands slowly transformed into the form of Yin Yang and Tai Chi. There seemed to be limited suction between his hands! Those arrows like locusts were sucked in by him at once.
"Is this!!?" Kuami opened his mouth in fright, and was too stunned to give orders. The rebel ninja troops under him were also stunned, and some even dropped their bows and arrows on the ground in fright.
.
"Is this the Tai Chi Hunyuan Divine Skill of China?" The well-informed Tenglinzuo also changed his expression. He knew that this was an unparalleled and miraculous skill that some people could not understand even after practicing all their lives. He did not expect that it would be so soon.
For the past few years, Baidi has been living in seclusion without engaging in political affairs, just to practice this skill!
At this time, there were more and more arrows gathered in the hands of Bai Di San Taifu, and they were densely packed into a ball.
He suddenly threw the arrows in his hand towards the people under the high platform with all his strength! The arrows shot by the people were shot back one after another! He knocked down most of the archers.
Four people wearing white masks behind Fujibayashi suddenly sprang out from behind him and used extremely fast movement skills to cut down several arrows that were shot at him!
At this time, Kuangami's giant umbrella was turned into a hedgehog by random arrows. He dropped the umbrella in a hurry and raised his long knife with a shake: "Don't be complacent! Mr. Fujibayashi is here! You have no chance of winning!
I advise you to be obedient and hand over your Jonin token!"
I saw a flash of cold light! An arrow penetrated Kuangami's body like it was holding the wings of the wind.
"Ah!" Kuami was shocked! He never expected that the arrow from Baidi would be so fast! His eyes and touch didn't react at all before he was shot through the chest!
His men immediately felled the trees and dispersed, and within a short time they were gone and out of sight.
Witnessing Kuami being killed, Fujibayashiza was indifferent: "It saves me the trouble of doing anything. A clown like this has no use value anymore."
He waved his hand slightly, and the four ninjas wearing white masks behind him immediately dispersed! They all held small spherical objects in their hands.
"Explosive pill!" Bai Di San Taifu was shocked! He knew that this thing was Xuanyuanli's secret secret killer weapon. Once it was hit or hit nearby, it would be injured by the air waves and fragments generated by its explosion.
! He quickly pulled out a few arrows from the wall and threw them at the four people respectively!
But these four ninjas had obviously received very strict training, and a few tendons easily dodged the rapid arrows released by Bai Di. The formation they set up was to throw bombs at them from several different directions.
Baidi, blow it up alive!
"Let's see if you can survive this attack now?" Fujibayashiza was obviously very well prepared. He stood not far away and looked coldly at the helpless Momochi Santao.
At this moment, one of the ninjas suddenly fell down without saying a word!
Behind him, a tall man holding a sword slowly walked out of the shadows.
"Hattori Hanzo!" Fujibayashiza and Momochi Satafu were both extremely surprised, with strange expressions on their faces. The past events unfolded page by page before their eyes.
At that time, the Hattori family, the Fujibayashi family, and the Momochi family were collectively known as the three Iga jounin families. The most powerful Hattori family at that time was Hattori Zenji. Momochi Santao and Fujibayashiza were both his disciples.
At that time, Hattori Zenji was quite outstanding in terms of martial arts and command and management ability. Coupled with the help of two powerful disciples, Fujibayashiza and Momochi Santafu, Igari became the largest ninja organization in Japan.
But then something surprising and inexplicable happened. Hattori Kanji, who had always been as healthy as an ox, suddenly fell seriously ill and died within a few days!
Everyone had doubts about the death of Hattori Watanabe. Many people suspected that Fujibayashiza, who was the heir at the time, poisoned Hattori Watanabe in his eagerness to rule Igari.
Because he had a fierce quarrel with Hattori over the expansion of his territory before he fell ill! When Hattori was furious, he once said: If you go against me again, you will be removed from your status as heir!
So everyone unanimously supported Momochi Santao to ascend to the position of Iga jounin. Even though Fujibayashi defended himself in every possible way, no one believed him. In the end, Lin Tengza ran away from Xuanyuanli in grief and anger, which became the history of Iga.
He was the most prominent fugitive nin. Hattori Kanji's wife took his young son and took refuge in the Tokugawa family in Mikawa.
After many years, when the three families of Hyakuchi, Hattori, and Hayashito reunited, things had changed. The three pillars of Iga in the past had their own identities and belonged to different forces.
"Hattori Hanzo! What do you want to do? Do you know that you are probably plotting against someone else! Don't you want to know the real culprit who killed your father?" Hayashi Toza, who had been silent all this time, said something shocking!
Hattori Hanzo smiled contemptuously, and after a whistle, a large group of Tokugawa ninjas armed with various weapons appeared behind him. There was also a noise from the Igari sentry not far away!
"I have already brought my troops to attack you, and I won't let you go if one of them is my father's murderer!" What Hattori Hanzo said was even more surprising!
At this time, Lin Tengzuo no longer had the leisurely air he had before. He shouted angrily: "I did not kill the master! I was wronged!"
He pointed at Bai Di San Taifu and said: "He is the real murderer! Only I know this in my heart! The only ones who had the motive to kill the teacher at that time were me and him! Since I am not the murderer! He must be the murderer! He must be
It’s because he has a grudge against the teacher for not appointing him as his successor! Baidi! You have the guts to do it, but don’t you have the guts to admit it?”
"I admit it." Bai Di San Taifu said calmly: "I am indeed one of the murderers."
Hattori Hanzo also changed his expression at this time: "Mr. Momochi! Are you really the murderer of my father? Do you really hate your father for not appointing you as his heir as he said?"
At this time, the Tokugawa ninjas under him could no longer hold it in any longer. A red-clothed ninja holding a hammer shouted loudly: "Chief! What nonsense are you talking to him about? Now that he admits it, kill him!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward.
But Hattori Hanzo stopped him: "Wait a minute! Let's talk about it clearly!"
Then he turned around and asked sternly: "You just said you were one of the murderers, so you have accomplices?"
Bai Di San Taifu still had a very calm expression: "Yes, that person is him, Lin Tengzuo."
"You're talking nonsense! What a fart!" Lin Tengzuo was furious: "I have never had a second thought about my master! That quarrel with the master was just a matter of different opinions on how to deal with the conflict between Igali and Xuanyuanli.
As the heir, I am about to get everything, why should I betray my master?"
"I have been tracing the cause of Master Hattori's death. It was only a few years ago that I roughly understood the truth. It turns out that you and I are both murderers, but we didn't realize it ourselves." What Momochi Santafu said became increasingly elusive.
Hattori Hanzo also frowned upon hearing this: What does it mean to be a murderer without realizing it?
Momochi Santafu then said: "Back then, Hattori-sama's favorite food was river crabs. At that time, in order to please the master, I caught a lot of Sanjiang river crabs and presented them to the master.
But I didn't expect that Lin Tengzuo, who had been competing with me at that time, was restless after hearing this, and immediately presented the precious Yichuan chestnut and Putian salmon to the master. The master was very happy that day and made it into a sumptuous table.
Dinner. But he didn’t know that when river crabs and Yichuan chestnuts are eaten into the human body, they will be highly toxic!
Of course, with Master’s cultivation level, if the poisoning is discovered in time, all one needs to do is practice meditation and supplement it with detoxifying drugs, and you will be fine.”
Bai Di San Taifu suddenly stopped when he said this.
"But I just happened to come in and talk to him about the reconciliation with Xuanyuan Li. As a result, he became so angry that he didn't notice the poison that quietly spread through his body?" Lin Tengzuo also understood at this time.
"You can't tell anything from the appearance of a person poisoned by this kind of poison. After you ran away, I have been thinking hard about the cause of master's death, and I still can't figure it out until" Bai Di Santao took out a book from his sleeve.
: "When I was studying the 'Tai Chi Heart Sutra', the person who wrote this book, Mr. Zhang, narrated a short story about how he rescued a farmer who was poisoned. He mentioned the poison caused by mixing river crabs and chestnuts.
It was so poisonous that I finally realized that the master was poisoned to death by us unintentionally."
Everyone present was shocked. It turned out that the truth was not what everyone imagined. There was no outrageous villain behind it, only Nai.
"Withdraw troops." Hattori Hanzo finally woke up from the silence. He turned around and left without looking back.
After a while, the noise in Igari disappeared, leaving only Hayashi Toza and Momochi Santafu, two half-century old men, looking at each other.
