Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 583: Operation Sky-cutting, Kamikaze Squad
"Daoist name Tiantong, future Heavenly Master, Operation Jietian..."

The ninja repeated what Onijima Shigeo said, puzzled, "Mr. Onijima, we have been here for some time, and we have heard of the Taoist priest, the Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. Do you mean that he is the real culprit of the Bincheng tragedy?"

Shigeo Onijima stared at the ninja head and said, "Didn't Ono-kun make some progress in his investigation? Could it be that the progress you mentioned is not the little Taoist priest of Mount Longhu?"

He couldn't help but question the abilities of the Higashiyama ninjas.

This group of tools, which were once very useful, have been sealed in the mountains for a hundred years. Their members have gone through many changes. Do they still have the courage they once had?

In response to Onijima Shigeo's question, Shinobu said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Onijima, our investigation is strictly in accordance with the instructions of the Palace Master."

"Before coming to China, the chief priest said that the murderer was extremely powerful and had a terrifyingly high level of attainment in swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is the art of killing and cannot be achieved behind closed doors. This person must be very famous in the martial arts world."

"Moreover, with such strength, it must have taken a huge amount of time to hone it. This person can't be too young, he should be over fifty."

“So, we have been investigating in this direction.”

"In China, there are not many people who meet these requirements. Our current target of investigation is the head of Liuyun Sword Sect."

"This person is just over fifty years old, has a high level of cultivation, and is extremely skilled in swordsmanship. He has learned the true teachings of the sect and is very famous in the martial arts world."

"However, when the Bincheng tragedy occurred, he was a guest in Fujiyama. He has an alibi, but Yi Ren has too many ways to cover up his tracks, so he cannot get rid of suspicion. Therefore, my people have been secretly investigating him."

"As for the little master you mentioned, I know him. He is a Chinese hero, and he was in the Northeast at the time. However, he is not famous for his kendo skills, and he is not over fifty years old. Therefore, he is not on our investigation list."

Shigeo Onijima frowned, not satisfied with the result.

At this time, the two-powered monk next to the ninja head, Shobei, suddenly said:

"Master Guidao, have you forgotten? Since our birth, we have existed as tools. Since we are tools, we should not have our own thoughts, so we have been doing what you arranged."

After Shobei finished speaking, he glanced at the ninja leader. His words were addressed to both Onijima Shigeo and the ninja leader, intending to remind the ninja leader not to have any illusions about these people, as they don't treat us as human beings at all.

However, the ninja leader had a blank expression on his face and didn't seem to have heard it.

On the other hand, Shigeo Onijima relaxed his brows and thought, although he is not very flexible in doing things, he is indeed a good tool. Flexibility is used to describe people, not tools.

He nodded and said, "In that case, have your people give up investigating the Liuyun Sword and start attacking the Little Heavenly Master."

The ninja put one hand on his chest, bent down and said:

"I will send out my most elite ninja to assassinate him and bring his head to the general."

Hearing what the Ninja Head said, Master Dehong could no longer sit still and said in a deep voice:

"No, no, no, Ono-kun, you misunderstood us. It's not that you send ninjas to assassinate, but that you cooperate with us to assassinate. With your abilities, you are not capable of doing this yet."

His professionalism was questioned, and he frowned and said:

"Master, assassination is different from dueling. This man is very strong, I admit that, but even lions have times when they nap. My people will seize this momentary gap at all costs to take his life, even at the cost of their own lives."

"Amitabha, benefactor, in the face of absolute strength, your so-called tricks are simply not worth mentioning."

Master Dehong chanted a Buddhist name, and his originally compassionate face suddenly became as cold and sharp as a knife. The ninja standing in front of him felt as if a knife was pointed at his eyebrows.

"What do you think of me, Mr. Ono?" asked Master Dehong.

"Master is very powerful. There are not many people who can defeat him in Biheshan." Shinobu said in a deep voice.

"But I am no match for him!" Master Dehong raised his broken arm: "This is the price of provoking him."

Although Master Dehong is the abbot of the Tiantai Sect, since ancient times, the Tiantai Sect in Japan and the Tiantai Sect in China have had close exchanges, and it is common for monks from both sides to exchange practices.

In his early years, when the previous dynasty had not yet fallen, he traveled to Japan and practiced for a long time. It was also at that time that he became a traitor.

After returning to China, with the support of the Tiantai Sect of Japan, he became the abbot of the Tiantai Sect of Shenzhou. Although he appeared to be highly respected, he secretly passed some information to Japan.

The Bincheng incident caused a big stir, so he naturally received an order from the Tiantai Sect of Japan to find the murderer.

He had no idea at first, but what Yuan Jingui spread made him suspicious. With the mentality of giving it a try, he began to make trouble for Zhang Zhiwei.

In his opinion, this was a matter of killing two birds with one stone. If the rumors were confirmed to be true, then it would naturally be a credit. If not, he could also take the opportunity to warn the Taoist priest. No matter how he looked at it, he would not lose out.

But he never expected that from top to bottom, the people of Longhu Mountain were filled with evil tendencies and gangster-like behavior, and it was impossible to reason with them. Laonan from Qinglong Temple was almost beaten to death.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away from Longhu Mountain, but was hit by a thunderbolt from Zhang Jingqing when turning a corner.

Although the thunder did not take his life, it broke his arm and seriously injured him. It was the people from Japan who rescued him and took him back to recuperate.

However, although the price he paid was high, the trip to Longhu Mountain also made him certain that Zhang Zhiwei was the murderer of the Bincheng tragedy.

After recovering from his injuries, he came to Bincheng for revenge.

Although this meeting was invited by Shigeo Onijima, it was he who took the lead.

The ninja took a look at Master Dehong's arm and didn't say anything. He still insisted on his previous idea that assassination was different from fighting. If it happened to his people, it would be more than just a broken arm.

Master Dehong saw what the ninja leader was thinking. He took something out of his arms and handed it to the ninja leader.

"Mr. Ono, please look carefully!"

"A mirror?"

Shinobu looked at the heavy bronze mirror handed over by Master Dehong in confusion. It looked like an antique. The back was very rustic and its age could not be identified, but the front was polished to be smooth and translucent, and could reflect even a person's hair clearly.

"No matter how much you say, it is better to see it with your own eyes. It contains the information you want to know!" said Master Dehong.

Shinobu lowered his head and looked down, only to see ripples on the mirror surface. An image began to appear, showing the scene of Zhang Zhiwei entering the Great Shangqing Palace and stunning the head of the Natural Gate with a glance.

In this scene, Shinobu was relatively calm. After all, he was not at the scene, so he could not feel the oppression in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes. He also did not know the identity of the head of the Natural Gate, and thought he was some unknown person.

But when he saw the fight between Zhang Zhiwei and the monk Le Nan from Qinglong Temple, he lost his composure.

Especially after his blood and energy expanded and he changed from a medium build to a two-meter giant, his expression began to change.

When he saw Nan using his Dharmakaya, stepping on the lotus platform and using all eight arms, but still being defeated, his hand holding the cane actually began to tremble slightly. The fact that an experienced ninja could tremble showed how shocking this incident was.

The scene ends when Monk Nan is defeated, and the embarrassing scene of Master Dehong is not shown in the mirror.

Shinobu couldn't calm down for a long time. He was lost in thought, muttering to himself:

"So young... so powerful... it's unheard of. Even if the demon used the power of the demon sword Hirimaru to its fullest, it might not be enough... This is too scary..."

"Mr. Ono, I think you understand our intention!" said Master Dehong.

Before this, he had also shown this scene to Onijima Shigeo and Tsuchimikado Yokou. The two of them, who had originally looked down on Zhang Zhiwei, gasped and broke out in cold sweat after watching it, and vowed to get rid of this man.

To this end, Shigeo Onijima did not hesitate to put aside the dignity of an army general and invited Navy Admiral Yujiro Takeshita to attend the meeting.

But unfortunately, Yujiro Takeshita seemed to have too deep a prejudice and did not come.

Shinobu nodded and said, "I understand. Although I have been involved in China for a short time, I also know that Taoism is roughly divided into two sects, Zhengyi and Quanzhen. Zhengyi is mostly worldly, while Quanzhen is mostly otherworldly."

"This person is from the Zhengyi lineage, and he single-handedly caused the Bincheng tragedy. He is so murderous that he is even more murderous than us, who exist only to kill people."

"He is so young, and if he gets older, I'm afraid no one will be his opponent."

Onijima Shigeo nodded and said, "Indeed, there will be a war between the Empire and China. If we can't kill this man in the cradle, how many warriors of our Empire will die in the future?!"

The ninja leader said: "In this case, we at Bihe Mountain will fully cooperate, and I will also participate in this operation!"

"Teacher Ono..." Shobei wanted to say something, but was stopped by the ninja leader.

Onijima Shigeo laughed: "Don't worry, Ono-kun, His Majesty the Emperor will not treat you unfairly. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement."

The ninja's eyes lit up. The reason why he had traveled across the ocean to come here was simply to exchange his military merits for acceptance in the new world, and to use the heads of those Chinese as stepping stones for them to embrace the new world.

"So, General Onijima, what is your plan and how do you want me to cooperate?" asked the ninja.

Shigeo Onijima clapped his hands, and soon a group of people walked in from outside the shrine.

These people were all dressed in black kimonos, with short swords and guns in white sheaths on their waists, and white socks and wooden clogs on their feet. They passed under the torii gate in unison, stopped in front of the main hall, and then dispersed into two teams standing on both sides of the aisle.

“General, the Kamikaze Squad has arrived. There are 34 samurai, 19 Yin-Yang masters, 17 priests, and 107 sharpshooters who are proficient in firearms. A total of 177 people are here.

The secretary presented the list to Onijima Shigeo and said, "General, please take a look."

Shigeo Onijima took the list and handed it to the ninja leader: "Ono-kun, what do you think?"

The ninja leader squeezed through the list, took a look, and said, "There are witches and priests who are good at cursing, there are also Yin and Yang masters who can drive away gods and ghosts, there are also warriors who attack head-on, and a large number of sharpshooters who have obtained Qi. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely die, but the target this time is very special. If he wants to leave, he can't be stopped!"

Guidao Shigeo nodded: "I think so too, so they are just feinting, and they can even be sacrificed when necessary. As long as the little Taoist uses up his Qi and changes his Qi when dealing with them, revealing a flaw, it will be a sure kill!"

Sacrifices... Will these warriors who live in the sunny world also become tools when necessary? Or, in other words, they are actually tools...

Shinobu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and said:

"General, I understand what you mean. Leave this decisive move to me!"

"No, Ono-kun, you shouldn't say leave it to me!" Onijima Shigeo laughed, "You should say we!"

"What does General Onijima mean?" the ninja asked in confusion.

"We will attack together this time!" Guidao Shigeo drew the long sword from his waist: "You, Master Dehong, Lord Ye Guang, and I will give a grand funeral to that little master."

Shinobu was stunned. He had never expected that Shigeo Onijima, who was in a high position, would personally take action. If such a big shot took action personally, what else could he worry about? He immediately assured:

"You will definitely live up to your mission!"

At this moment, Zhuang Bingwei on the side frowned secretly. At this moment, he was struggling between his conscience and his conscience.

Inside his body, a person who looked and dressed the same as him, but had a more ferocious temperament, was cursing:
"Idiot, baka, baka yalu! Shobei, you're crazy. That old man Ono is going to take Biheshan to his own death. We have clearly left Japan and set foot on this rich land."

"This land is in the midst of war right now, and they are too busy to care about us."

"Next, we just need to walk away and live in anonymity, then we can start over and embrace a bright future and a brand new life."

"But Ono, this old and pedantic guy, wants to take everyone's lives and help those disgusting guys."

"Now, he is going to assassinate the man called Little Heavenly Master."

"Once this happens, he will lead us into an irreversible abyss."

"You know, that little Tianshi has a very special status among the Chinese aliens. If we really kill him, we will face the wrath of the entire Tianshi Dao."

"Not to mention us, the Bihe Mountain Ninjas. Even the Bihe Mountain's Tiantai Sect can't stop us."

"At that time, in order to protect ourselves, we could only rely on the military and become their killing tools forever."

"Ono's vision is as short as his height. He says he wants to lead everyone out of the fate of being tools, but in fact, he is leading everyone into the abyss."

"Shobei, stop following the old man. Let's go, leave here, give up those tools, and embrace a new life!"

As he spoke, he opened his arms, as if embracing freedom.

"Chubbye, I know what you're thinking. I can't say your thoughts are wrong. I also want to leave, but I can't abandon Ono-sensei, nor can I abandon everyone. They are my ties!"

Shobei shouted in his heart.

Immediately, he cut off the conversation with his "national teacher" - the inner demon Chubei, and returned his attention.

At this moment, the ninja leader was discussing the details of assassinating the little master with them.

"The specific steps have been completed, but General Onijima, how do we assassinate the other party? We can't go to Longhu Mountain. There are so many people there, I'm afraid we will be discovered before we even get close." said the ninja.

He seemed to have great interest in assassinating the young Taoist priest, and Zhuang Bingwei saw a long-lost excitement in his eyes.
