Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 587 My Summoned Creatures Are Full of Drama! (Part 2)
The shadowy ninja's malevolent crimson gaze made Kagura Tsuchimiya instinctively take a step back. The reality of the battle was completely different from her experience training at the dojo, leaving her feeling stiff all over.

Kagura Tsuchimiya bit her lower lip hard, the pain diluting the growing fear in her heart. She took off her schoolbag and held it in her hand, as if preparing to use it as a weapon to defend against the shadowy ninja. It was the only thing the girl had at hand right now.

"Kagura, run!"

Isayama Yomi, who had been blasted away, noticed the situation and anxiously called out to the girl.

The next moment, the motionless shadowy ninja resumed its movements, moving like a rabbit, instantly appearing in front of the girl and kicking her.

Before Kagura Tsuchimiya could react, a tremendous force came from the schoolbag in her hand, pressing down on her chest and sending her flying backward.

Perhaps because she had practiced kendo since childhood, the girl subconsciously adjusted her posture in mid-air after being kicked away, but she only rolled several times on the ground.

Is this what real combat is like? Ouch...

Kagura Tsuchimiya sat up, but her elbows and knees already had varying degrees of abrasions.

Meanwhile, the shadowy ninja became somewhat nervous after kicking the girl away.

The girl's frailty was beyond its imagination; its entire body remained in a kicking motion.

After confirming that the girl was alright (not dead), he withdrew his kicking leg, appeared unharmed, and then walked towards her.

"Don't come near Kagura, you bastard!"

Upon seeing Kagura Tsuchimiya injured, Yomi Isayama's eyes reddened. He rushed over from the side with his sword, and upon getting close, unleashed a powerful slash at the shadowy ninja.

"Dang~"

However, the ninja sword, imbued with special black flames, easily deflected the attack, and the shadow ninja countered with a new move, slashing the blade towards the girl's wrist.

Isayama Yomi stepped back to dodge, but it seemed a bit too late. However, she actually released the hilt of her sword and sped up her dodging movements.

After spinning half a circle, he caught the falling Lion King with his other hand and launched another slashing attack on the shadow ninja.

The girl's swordsmanship has reached the threshold of a world-class swordsman, and her ability to not be bound by rigid sword techniques is the best example of this.

But the difference was too obvious. The shadow ninja simply spun the ninja sword in his hand, held the blade horizontally in front of him, and easily caught the beautiful counterattack.

The shadowy ninja raised his leg and kicked out to the side. The girl, who only had time to raise her hand to block, was kicked away to the side.

The Lion King spun around and landed on a sand pile not far away, while Yomi Isayama, who also fell to the side of the sand pile, let out a cry of pain.

Her right forearm, which she used to block the kick, was burning with pain. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hair clung tightly to it, making her look quite disheveled.

"Sister Huang Quan!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya snapped out of her daze, quickly stood up, and ran over. Her small face was full of tension and worry for the girl.

"I'm fine, step back behind me..."

Isayama Yomi gave a somewhat forced smile, then protected the girl and stepped back, pulling the Lion King out of the sand pile again, and summoning Ranguren once more.

His eyes were fixed on the approaching shadowy ninja, his mouth moving as if he were whispering something to the girl behind him.

"Kagura, run!"

As the shadowy ninja approached, Ran Honglian, who had been summoned again, charged towards him, while Isayama Yomi charged from the other side, attacking from both sides with her spirit beast.

Kagura Tsuchimiya obeyed the girl's words and ran off in another direction.

Do you think you can escape?

The shadow ninja pressed the button on the sliding toy transformation device, and the device emitted a new recorded message.

It dodged the attack of the scorching lotus once again and kicked the multi-eyed red lion away.

Then, with another sword strike, he sent Isayama Yomi flying, sword and all.

"Kagura, now's the time!"

A black briefcase was thrown at her. The girl who had run away didn't run away, but instead went around to retrieve the briefcase that had fallen next to a broken bench in the park.

Following Isayama Yomi's whispered instructions, Tsuchimiya Kagura pulled the detonator in her briefcase and threw it towards the shadowy ninja as soon as Isayama Yomi and Ran Guren were knocked away again.

"Bang~"

The briefcase fell to the ground and, just as Nikaido Kirito had described, it exploded like a bomb, sending steel bullets soaked in spiritual water flying out at close range.

Ran Honglian was retrieved, Isayama Yomi hid her body in the sand pit, and Tsuchimiya Kagura also found cover to hide after throwing away her briefcase. The shadow ninja took the hit of the fragmentation grenade alone.

However, with a clanging sound, the ninja sword in the shadowy ninja's hand deflected the incoming steel bullet.

The explosion came quickly and went away quickly.

"Did you make it?"

Isayama Yomi raised her head from the sand pit and looked in the direction of the shadowy ninja.

Then, the girl saw the shadowy ninja, almost unharmed.

The shadowy ninja had only a hole punched in the black armor on his shoulder, which was soaked in spiritual water.

But the hole is now being rapidly repaired by the black flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"how come?"

The self-defense weapon that the countermeasures bureau gave her had absolutely no effect.

"Some petty tricks are nothing more than the futile struggles of the weak."

If it weren't for ensuring the safety of this toy transformation device that could be used as a mouth substitute, the Shadow Ninja might not have even been hit by a single Spirit Water Steel Bullet.

"This is the end. I will show you my final mercy!" (The shadowy ninja assumes a stance indicating he is about to deliver the final blow.)

However, it must be said that the recorded lines from the transformation device are quite useful in setting the atmosphere.

At least for now, the girl felt despair.

Being knocked down twice left her feeling weak and powerless.

I can get up, but my hands and feet are weak.

"Snapped!"

A stone was thrown at him, and the shadowy ninja chopped it away.

"Don't go near Sister Huangquan!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya held a stone in her hand, her body trembling slightly, yet she bravely faced the dangerous enemy for the sake of the girl on the ground.

If this were a real battle, the shadow ninja would swiftly behead the girl in front of him before going to behead the girl over there.

But this wasn't a real battle; it was a training mission assigned by the master.

So, just as the shadowy ninja kicked Tsuchimiya Kagura to the ground and was about to kill the girl with his sword, the young girl screamed "No!" with bloodshot eyes. "HENSHIN!"

The White Shadow Ninja, a righteous ninja spirit who plays a crucial role in saving the day, makes his appearance right at the right moment in the plot.

As it walked towards us, bathed in the setting sun, it took out a sliding transformation device, just like the one used by the Shadow Ninja but in a different color, and inserted it into its belt.

Platinum-gold flames ignited, condensing into platinum-gold armor on the white-shadowed ninja, distinct from the armor worn by the black-shadowed ninja, causing the opponent to stand still.

The shadowy ninja stopped in his tracks, preparing to kill the girl. His crimson eyes turned to the white-clad ninja, as if his attention had been completely drawn to a suddenly appearing nemesis.

This was supposed to be an act.

However, once the white-clad ninja took out a toy transformation device and completed a transformation similar to his own, there was no need for acting anymore.

The crimson light in the black ninja's eyes burned like flames. It stared at the white ninja, its scarlet eyes seeming to question: Why did you imitate me?

In response, the white-clad ninja drew his ninja sword, which was burning with platinum-gold flames, and charged forward, answering it with the sword: This is to better complete the mission assigned by my master!

Broly's character design for them is that they are two sides of the same coin: the Shadow Ninja represents evil, while the Shadow Ninja represents justice.

The Shadow Ninja chose to portray a villain in this world's Kamen Rider tokusatsu series to demonstrate his own evil nature.

So, it also has to follow suit and use the same method, except that it plays the role of a righteous knight in a tokusatsu drama to show its own righteous attributes.

Well, it's definitely not because they saw the Shadow Ninja and got a toy transformation device that looks similar to their owner's side-sliding phone, which then led them to want a similar side-sliding transformation device.

[Learn from the spirits!]

The clash of blades produced a tremendous noise. Unlike the restrained training that was meant to suppress the girl, the Black Shadow Ninja used his full strength when dealing with the White Shadow Ninja!

All of this is to complete the task assigned by the master!

The white-clad ninja showed no mercy either, its pale golden eyes meeting the crimson eyes of its counterpart. The two summoned creatures simultaneously turned and delivered a spinning kick to each other, transforming the clash between ninja swords into a leg-to-leg collision.

Still shaken, Isayama Yomi held the terrified Tsuchimiya Kagura in her arms and watched from the sidelines as the two black and white ninjas fought, their battle creating a whirlwind around them.

If it weren't for the pain in her body, Yomi Isayama would have almost thought she had stumbled into the filming set of a Kamen Rider tokusatsu drama, the kind shown on TV with lots of special effects.

"Sister Huangquan, should we..."

The girl wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but the other girl stopped her.

"The situation is unclear, so it's best not to act rashly, lest we attract attention..."

After the black and white ninjas clashed in a real fight, she realized that the black one had been toying with her, or rather, playing cat and mouse. If he had been caught sneaking away, she wasn't confident she could protect the girl beside her in her current state.

"Such a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy will surely be detected by the Countermeasures Bureau, and they will arrive very soon."

As Yomi Isayama said this, she thought of Broly, who had gone to buy drinks, but in the current situation, she didn't want the boy to come over because it was too dangerous.

The two summoned creatures fought recklessly, but because their spirit levels were the same and their moves were similar, neither could break the other's attacks.

Just when the girl and the girl thought that the two unknown spirits would fight until the countermeasures bureau's support arrived, the black and white ninjas, who were fighting, suddenly staggered in one direction at the same time when they clashed again.

The black and white ninjas looked in the same direction and could sense the displeasure hidden in their master's heart. That last action was a reminder to them: Once your role is over, hurry up and leave!
The shadowy ninja glared fiercely at the white-shadowed ninja, then forced him back with a single sword strike. He retreated to the shade of a tree, disappearing into the shadows as he made his exit.

The white-clad ninja did not pursue them. Instead, it turned to look at the girl and the girl on the other side. Under the watchful gaze of Izayama Yomi, who had pulled Tsuchimiya Kagura behind her, it took out a horse charm given to it by its master and handed it to the girl.

"This is?"

The white-clad ninja showed no hostility, nor did he exude the ominousness and resentment of the black-clad ninja. Therefore, when Isayama Yomi saw the other party hand her a stone with an imprint but made no further move, she couldn't help but ask.

[These are healing items; possessing them can heal injuries.]

The white flame materialized into a sign, which was held up by the white-clad ninja, bearing the following message.

"Thank you."

After thinking for a moment, Isayama Yomi felt that the other party had no reason to lie to her like this. After hesitating for a moment, she took the horse talisman from the white-clad ninja.

As soon as Isayama Yomi got the horse talisman, she felt a tingling and itchy sensation in the swollen area of ​​her right arm, which miraculously had a healing effect.

"Kagura, here you go."

"Eh?"

After confirming that the item truly had the effect of healing injuries, Isayama Yomi handed the talisman to the girl. Tsuchimiya Kagura was taken aback when she received it, but after feeling her injuries being healed, she quickly stuffed the talisman back into her hands.

"My injury isn't serious, so please take it, Sister Huangquan."

White Shadow Ninja: "..."

However, it also faces an awkward situation where the girls and young women are not cooperating in advancing the plot.

Fortunately, Broly finally returned with the drinks.

"Clap~"

The convenience store bag fell to the ground and made a sound.

"Sister Huangquan, Sister Kagura, what happened here? Are you injured?"

Broly pretended to have just returned and was shocked by the mess in the park. After seeing the injuries on the girl and the girl, he became nervous and asked questions.

"Ah, was it you who hurt Sister Huangquan and Sister Kagura?"

Then, he glared angrily at the white-clad ninja, and in an impulsive manner, raised his small fist and charged towards the white-clad ninja.

"No, Broly, it wasn't this... uh, the ninja spirit that hurt us (the white-clad ninja reveals his identity to the girl while holding up a sign), but another evil ninja spirit that hurt us, and this one is actually our savior spirit."

Broly, who was rushing forward, was stopped by Yomi Isayama. He did not resist, but asked, "Ah, is that so?"

That's right, that's correct!

In coordination with its master's performance, the white-clad ninja actively used the white flames on its body to create a sign, and then raised the sign to respond.

After calming the worried boys, Yomi Isayama asked the white-clad ninja, "May I ask who you are, and who were the guys who attacked us?"

[I am the White Shadow, and that guy is the Black Shadow. We are two sides of the same coin, ninja spirits. The Black Shadow represents the evil side, which commits countless evil deeds, while I represent the good side. I have always been trying to stop him from doing evil.]

The white-clad ninja answered, paused, and then raised the sign again: "As for why the shadow attacked you, I think it was because of this Tsuchimiya-san."

Throughout the long years, in order to escape my pursuit, it has been searching for an external force to disrupt the balance between us.

Meanwhile, the Tsuchimiya family's spirit beast, Hakuei, seemed to have been targeted by the shadowy figure.

Isayama Yomi: "..."

The people in the Countermeasures Bureau were right after all.

There really is someone—no, an evil ninja spirit—who has set its sights on the Tsuchimiya family's bloodline!
