Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

As for being reinstated by the "Ninja Village"... Haha, Ayane is doing just fine outside now and has made new friends. Why would she want to go back to that village that always ostracized and was hostile towards her? There's absolutely no need for that!

Seeing that Li Xin was so firm in his refusal, Hayabusa said nothing more, but instead said to Li Xin, "Alright then, I'll leave Ayane in your care from now on."

Since he entrusted Ayane to Li Xin's care, he believed that Li Xin could take good care of Ayane and respected Li Xin's arrangements for Ayane.

Li Xin smiled slightly, then, as if remembering something, asked Hayabusa, "By the way, Hayabusa, what's the state of the Hajinmon who betrayed 'Shinobi Village'?"

In the previous "Black Dragon Pill" incident, Ayane's master, Genra, the leader of the Hajinmon, colluded with Hayabusa's uncle, Murai, to plan the annihilation of "Hayabusa Village". After the plot was exposed, Genra led his trusted subordinates away, while Ayane, as a "remnant" of the Hajinmon, was expelled from "Shinobi Village".

Hayabusa Ryu once said that "Shinobi Village" would hunt down the traitors, the Hajinmon, and now almost a year has passed, and we still don't know what the outcome is.

It was also Ayane's bad luck that she ended up with such a biological father and an adoptive father, which made her situation more and more embarrassing.

Hearing this question, even though he was wearing a mask, Li Xin could sense Hayabusa's embarrassment. Hayabusa said, "Well, the other party is also a ninja, and an elite one at that. They are very familiar with ninja techniques, so... I couldn't find them."

Well, they made such grand pronouncements before, saying they would tear the Overlord Sect to pieces, but a year has passed and "Ninja Village" hasn't even managed to find the traitor's whereabouts. It's really quite shameful.

Think about it again. More than ten years have passed since Raido's incident. The "Ninja Village" still couldn't find Raido. In fact, when Raido returned to Tokyo, he needed another ninja village to remind him that this village was no good!

After sparring with Ryu Hayabusa, Li Xin and Ryu Hayabusa returned to "Hayabusa Village" together. Ryu Hayabusa invited Li Xin to stay for dinner, after all, he had kept Li Xin sparring with him for so long, it would be too much to not even treat him to a meal.

"These are just wild mountain foods, not as refined as those from big cities. Please don't find them offensive, Mr. Ashin."

At Hayabusa's home, Hayabusa's sister-in-law, Momiji, served food to Li Xin and Hayabusa. Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "How could that be? I've tried Momiji's cooking before. Even famous chefs in big cities might not be able to compare to you."

These were just polite words, but they made Hongye blush. She grabbed the tray and ran away in small steps, her ponytail swinging rhythmically as she ran.

Although Hongye says it's just wild food from the mountains, it's actually all fresh, seasonal wild game. The mountains and fields are full of precious treasures, and even though it's winter now, Hongye, who grew up in the mountains, can always find the best ingredients.

Therefore, a meal made with top-quality wild game is indeed more precious and delicious than expensive high-end dishes in big restaurants.

After enjoying a delicious meal prepared by Momiji with Ryu Hayabusa, the two chatted for a while. Ryu Hayabusa then asked Ryu Hayabusa, "Ryu, how strong is that Hayate?"

He was somewhat worried about whether Gale could kill Lei Dao. After all, Falcon Dragon had said before that Lei Dao was able to injure Zi Dian, the former sect leader of the Heavenly God Sect, more than ten years ago. Now that so much time has passed, Lei Dao's strength has probably increased again.

"Don't worry, Ashin, there won't be any problems."

Unlike Li Xin's concerns, Hayabusa seemed to have great confidence in Hayate's strength: "Hayate is a friend I grew up with. I know his strength very well. Although he is young, he has already surpassed his father and is even stronger. He has also mastered the secret technique of the Heavenly God Gate, 'Sky-Splitting Swift Thunder Kill'. As long as Lei Dao has not stepped into the extraordinary realm, he cannot be Hayate's opponent."

Hearing Hayabusa's certainty, Li Xin felt relieved. The two chatted for a while longer when suddenly a ninja burst into Hayabusa's house, shouting to him, "Lord Hayabusa, something terrible has happened! The leader of Hayate has been injured by Raido!"

Li Xin: "..."

You promised there would be absolutely no problem!

Hayabusa had just been telling Li Xin how formidable Hayate was, when he suddenly heard the news that Hayate had been injured by Raido. Hayabusa was shocked: "What?! How could this happen!"

He immediately asked, "How is Gale doing now?"

"Leader Gale is currently seriously injured and unconscious, and has been placed at home. The Heavenly God Gate is in complete chaos. We request Lord Hayabusa to go and take charge!"

The ninja knelt down on one knee before Hayabusa.

The three ninja villages that live in seclusion in Mount Fuji are closely connected, with the strongest village, "Hayabusa Village," implicitly leading the way. Currently, Hayate, the leader of "Shinobi Village," is seriously injured and unconscious. Only Hayate Ryu, Hayate's close friend and the head of "Hayabusa Village," is capable of keeping the situation under control.

"Take me there quickly!"

Hayabusa said to the ninja who came to deliver the message, then looked at Li Xin: "Xin, I'm sorry, I can't entertain you here. You should go back now."

Li Xin shook his head: "No, Ah Long, I'll go too. I think I can be of help."

Hayabusa also remembered Li Xin's miraculous healing energy and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you!"

....................................

"Shinobi Village," Tenjin Gate, just as the messenger ninja had said, was now in complete chaos. Elderly men dressed in ancient Japanese clothing were arguing and chattering amongst themselves around a gentle woman.

"Lady Acorus, the leader of Gale has fallen into a coma. We must quickly choose a new leader!"

"How dare you! Chief Gale is only unconscious, not dead, and you're already thinking about choosing a new chief! Do you want us to elect you as the new chief? Lady Changpu, I think this man is a traitor who colluded with Lei Dao. Otherwise, how could Lei Dao have entered the heavily guarded village so easily? We should take him down first!"

"Lady Changpu, the leader of Gale is seriously injured. The village's secret healer is helpless. We may need to go outside to find a doctor."

"No way! Have you forgotten the rules of 'Ninja Village'? How can we let outsiders into 'Ninja Village'!"

"Lei Dao has stolen the secret manual of 'Sky-Splitting Swift Thunder Strike.' Catching up with Lei Dao and reclaiming the manual is our top priority! Lady Changpu, please give the order quickly!"

"Mrs. Calamus!"

"Mrs. Calamus!"

The voices of those elderly people in ancient clothes echoed incessantly in the gentle woman's ears like demonic chants, causing her, who was already in a state of mental turmoil due to her child's unconsciousness, to have a splitting headache. She longed to shake off these elderly people with their own ulterior motives and go take care of her child, but because of the long-standing traditions of etiquette, she had no choice but to sit there and continue to endure their endless harassment.

Fortunately, at that moment, a ninja came to report: "Lord Hayabusa has arrived!"

The gentle woman finally showed a relieved expression and immediately said, "Quickly, go and invite Lord Hayabusa in!"

After receiving permission, Hayabusa quickly entered and said to the gentle woman, "Lady Ayame, I have brought a friend with me. He may be able to save Hayate."

"what?"

The gentle woman was first startled, then overjoyed: "That's wonderful, Lord Hayabusa! Quickly, please invite your friend over!"

"and many more!"

An elderly man in ancient clothing stepped forward. He first bowed to Hayabusa and then said, "Lord Hayabusa, I thank you for your concern for Chief Hayate, but our 'Ninja Village' has never allowed outsiders to enter since ancient times. Even Lord Hayabusa cannot disregard the rules of our 'Ninja Village'!"

"That's it!"

The old man in traditional clothing immediately received support from the other elderly people.

For these elderly people who are no longer as strong as the young ninjas in the village, rules are their greatest weapon, and they cannot tolerate anything that breaks the rules.

Suddenly, a sword aura flashed past, leaving a deep, bottomless sword mark at the feet of the old men. The old men were so frightened that they took several steps back, and some of them even sat down on the ground with a thud.

“I said, let my friend in to check on Jifeng’s injuries.”

Hayabusa said coldly.

"Yes, yes... Lord Hayabusa, please proceed..."

The elderly man in ancient clothing who had initially objected swallowed hard and spoke tremulously.

With Hayabusa's "guarantee," Li Xin, who was waiting outside "Shinobi Village," was able to enter this ninja village that had not been entered by outsiders for a thousand years. Although it was described as mysterious, "Shinobi Village" was actually no different from an ordinary mountain village in Japan in appearance. In fact, because it had very little contact with the outside world, it had almost no modern tools and was even older and more dilapidated than an ordinary mountain village. Only the mansion where the Tenjin Gate was located looked a little bit more impressive.

In a quiet room of the Heavenly God Sect, Jifeng was lying on the bed with a pained expression on his face. Li Xin helped Jifeng up and used "Mingyu True Qi" to heal him. As soon as the true qi entered Jifeng's body, Li Xin immediately sensed something. A sinister power was entrenched in Jifeng's body, and Li Xin was very familiar with this power.

"It's the power of Orochi!"

Li Xin frowned.

"'Orochi's Power'? Is that the one we encountered in the 'KOF' tournament before?"

"Hayabusa asked."

Li Xin nodded: "That's right, that's it. It's because the 'Serpent Power' suppressed Hayate's original power that Hayate fell into a coma and couldn't wake up. To help Hayate recover, this power must be expelled."

Ryu Hayabusa thought for a moment, then drew his Dragon Sword.

The Dragon Sword is a divine artifact formed from the righteous energy of heaven and earth. It has the power to drive away evil spirits and suppress resentment. With the power of the Dragon Sword, perhaps it can help Jifeng drive away the "power of the Great Serpent" and restore him.

Just as Hayabusa was about to use the power of the Dragon Sword to expel the "Orochi Power" from Hayate, Li Xin quickly stopped him, saying, "No, the power of the Dragon Sword is too strong. Besides the 'Orochi Power,' I'm afraid Hayate will also be injured by the power of the Dragon Sword."

"What should I do?"

Hayabusa asked Li Xindao.

He's good at fighting people, but he's terrible at saving lives.

"Let me try."

Li Xin said to Hayabusa.

Although getting Chizuru Kagura to exorcise the "Orochi power" would be a piece of cake, she's the president of a big company and has a lot of work to do, so it wouldn't be good to bother her rashly. Therefore, Li Xin wanted to try it himself first, and if that didn't work, then he would bother Chizuru Kagura.

He told Hayabusa to step aside, and Li Xin channeled his energy into his palm, whereupon a peaceful Buddhist light appeared.

The first move of the "Buddha's Palm" technique, "Buddha's Light Appears!"

The Buddha's light shone on Jifeng, but instead of harming him, it eased his pained expression, turning him into a peaceful figure.

Wisps of black energy seeped out from Jifeng's body. When illuminated by the Buddha's light, they vaporized rapidly, like water droplets dripping onto a red-hot iron block.

Sensing that the "Orochi power" within Hayate's body had been expelled, Li Xin withdrew his palm, and at the same time began to make plans in his mind.

Li Xin now possesses two versions of the "Buddha's Palm." The version of the "Buddha's Palm" by the Heavenly Khan is more martial and suitable for duels between masters and one-on-one battles. Each move is not only incredibly powerful but also has unique effects and endless uses.

The "Buddha's Palm" technique on the Buddhist weapon is more like a magic spell than a martial art. It can be powered by true qi rather than by magic power. Although its power is equally great, it lacks variability and requires time to circulate. To be honest, it is far less useful in actual combat than the "Buddha's Palm" version by the Heavenly Khan.

However, although the Buddha Soldier version of "Buddha's Palm" is not as good as the Heavenly Khan version in actual combat, it shows its power in some special situations, such as exorcising evil spirits and saving people.

It can only be said that there are two versions of "Buddha's Palm": the Khan version is a thunderous method to subdue demons and monsters, while the Buddha Soldier version is a compassionate method to save all living beings. There is no difference in quality between the two; they are just different in effect.

Just as Li Xin withdrew his palm, a blue figure rushed into the quiet room and lunged at the still unconscious Ji Feng: "Brother, are you alright!"

The "Serpent Power" on Jifeng had just been expelled, and his body was still very weak. If someone pounced on him like this, he would probably die. Li Xin quickly grabbed the figure and said to him, "Miss, the patient needs to rest. Please do not disturb him."

The person being held by Li Xin was a girl in blue. She struggled in Li Xin's grasp, crying, "Let me go! I want to see my brother!"

Lady Ayame, the mother of Gale, entered the quiet room and scolded the girl in blue, "Kasumi, stop! Don't be rude in front of the guests!"

The gentle woman who had previously been meek and submissive in front of the group of elderly people in ancient costumes finally showed some authority in front of the girl in blue. Upon seeing Madam Changpu, the girl in blue finally quieted down and whispered, "Mother, I was worried about my brother..."

Chapter 635 This is the Ninja!

"Lord Hayabusa, Lord Ashin, you saved Gale, which means you saved our Heavenly God Sect. Please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you!"

Lady Changpu knelt before Li Xin and Hayabusa, her hands on the ground, pigeon-toed, her forehead only an inch from her hands, offering her highest gratitude to Li Xin and Hayabusa.

Noticing her daughter still standing there out of the corner of her eye, Madam Changpu immediately scolded, "Xia, why aren't you thanking our benefactor? Have you forgotten the Heavenly God Sect's family rules?"

After being scolded by her mother, the girl in blue realized what had happened and bowed deeply to Li Xin and Hayabusa Ryu to express her gratitude.

"Alright, Madam Ayame, please don't do this. Hayate and I are childhood friends. If he's in danger, of course I'll help him."

Hayabusa asked Madam Ayame and the girl in blue to stand up, and only then did Li Xin have time to carefully observe Madam Ayame and the girl in blue.

Although this Lady Changpu was dressed in coarse linen, her captivating charm and voluptuous figure were undeniable; she was a gentle and alluring mature woman.

Although the girl in blue, Kasumi, is young, she has completely inherited Lady Ayame's beauty, only slightly more childish than Lady Ayame. Her ponytail looks neat and tidy. Perhaps because she shares the "Shiranui" bloodline with Momiji, she also has an extremely hot figure, especially with the high slit of her blue ninja robe, which goes all the way up to her waist, making her pair of youthful and strong thighs particularly eye-catching.

Speaking of the clothing of the female ninjas in "Shinobi Village," is it copied from the neighboring "Shiranui Village"? Why is it so revealing?

Li Xin muttered to himself.

Besides being beautiful, these two women share another common characteristic: they both resemble Ayane to varying degrees.

No, to be precise, it should be that Ayane resembles two people, because one of them is Ayane's biological mother, and the other is Ayane's half-sister.

Seemingly noticing Li Xin's gaze, Xia glared at him with displeasure. Li Xin smiled and looked away.

After Lady Ayame and Kasumi stood up, Ryu Hayabusa asked, "Lady Ayame, where is Uncle Shiden? Such a big thing has happened, why isn't he here to take charge?"

Zidian is Jifeng's father and the former leader of the Heavenly God Sect. Logically, after Jifeng's accident, Zidian should have taken over the position of sect leader. Why did Madam Changpu send someone to find Hayabusa, while Zidian has not shown up for a long time?

Lady Ayame glanced at Li Xin, then sighed softly: "As for Lord Hayabusa, I won't hide it from you. Actually, my husband's health has never recovered since he was injured by...that person. That's why he hastily made Hayate the leader of the Heavenly God Gate after Hayate came of age, while he went into hiding to recuperate, claiming to be practicing superior ninjutsu."

"Lord Hayabusa should also know about the situation in 'Shinobi Village.' Without sufficient strength, it's impossible to suppress them. If Shiden doesn't show up, those people might not do anything because they're afraid of him. But once they learn the truth about Shiden..."

At this point, Changpu sighed again.

Among the three great ninja villages, "Hayabusa Village" is the strongest, while "Shinobi Village" has the largest population. Unlike "Hayabusa Village" and "Shiranui Village," which are all single-family villages, "Shinobi Village" is a collection of several ninja organizations. Although it is nominally under the leadership of Tenjinmon, each ninja faction in the village has its own agenda. Once Hayate, the nominal leader, fell, those who had always harbored ulterior motives jumped out one by one to try to manipulate Lady Ayame.

Originally, the situation at the Heavenly God Gate wasn't this bad. The Overlord God Gate, which belonged to the same "Mist Illusion Heavenly God Style" as the Heavenly God Gate, had always been a powerful ally of the Heavenly God Gate. With the Overlord God Gate around, even if Zidian was unwell, he could use the power of the Overlord God Gate to counterbalance those ninja organizations. However, the fact that the Overlord God Gate assisted Murai in betraying "Hayabusa Village" was exposed, and the Overlord God Gate became a traitor to "Ninja Village". The Heavenly God Gate's most powerful arm was broken, which is why Zidian doesn't even dare to show his face now.

Lady Ayame said that Li Xin curing Hayate was the way to save Tenjinmon, and this was not an exaggeration. Without Hayate, who was very influential among the young ninjas, Tenjinmon would only have Lady Ayame and Kasumi, and they would soon be swallowed up by the other ninja forces in the "Ninja Village". The "Ninja Village" might even become the "White Village", and then Zidian would only be able to play out the scenes of "incompetent husband" and "kneeling father" on the sidelines.

"Thank you, thank you Lord Hayabusa for saving my brother..."

Xia also spoke at this moment.

"No need to thank me, you should thank Ashin."

Hayabusa said to Kasumi.

Xia rolled her eyes and turned her head away from Li Xin. Just now, Li Xin had been staring at her and Changpu the whole time. Just like those ambitious old men outside, he wasn't a good person.

Lady Changpu asked Li Xin, "Lord Axin, when will Jifeng wake up?"

Li Xin replied, "The 'Serpent Power' on his body has been expelled. With his physical condition, he should be able to wake up soon."

"That's great!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Mrs. Acorus finally felt relieved.

Hayabusa said to Li Xin, "Shin, we really owe you a lot this time. I'll keep an eye on Hayate. If you have anything to do, you can go back now."
