Aino

 

Unlike the space where the military was supposed to gather, Yan Ri was welcome to head to a different tent with the general.

It is clear that the military does not want to discuss matters with those who are not from the military as well.

The tent is quite large, quite commensurate with the position of Aino who was introduced as the daughter of the general, with a fairly warm tapestry. A rather rare luxury found on the front lines of the team.

There is a small table, complete with one small teapot containing tea and 2 small cups to welcome guests.

Aino's sitting attitude also tends to be formal, occupying the soles of his own feet. But his clothes are a bit free. Sleeveless t-shirt of ordinary cotton cloth, the pants are short enough to show how good the thighs are, if not blocked by a small table.

His hands and feet were bandaged white, and his hair was ponytailed. Very fitting with the typical small body size of Shogun's citizens.

Although it feels very stale, serving warm tea that is available is certainly reasonable. Yan Ri took a sip of the tea served quietly.

" miss , if I may, can the lady tell me the matter here , it is possible that I can help the general and the lady " .

" I said thank you earlier, introduce my name Aino, but I don't think there's anything to tell the corpse ."

Aino flicked her hand , and followed the movement of a few needle spikes .It was not difficult for Yan Ri to dodge. Even his sitting posture as if not moving, was still the same. But all those needle spikes seemed to pass by without scratching Yan Ri's body in the slightest.

Realizing that all his attacks were not met with the target, Aino took a small knife from behind his back, the Shogun country referred to the small blade as a kunai.

Then attack with close combat , while occasionally throwing a sharp-edged star, commonly called a shuriken.

It seems that Aino's skill is to control the movement of objects, every shuriken thrown is always looking for its target.

" Iga Stream, moon breath, 3rd slash of the silver moon "Aino began to release his slash-shaped machete that resembled the shape of a crescent moon from the katana sword he had reached.

Aino smiled at the sight of her target almost being split by her manager. Arrived , Aino's feelings were dim.

In an instant, Aino moved. Being in the position Yan Ri had previously sat in. While Yan Ri was sitting where Aino was standing before. With a slash of silver crescent aura almost made his neck descend into the tapestry.

But Yan Ri stopped that slashing aura with her black sword.

" Very miss was killed by the style of the lady herself, it would feel silly .But I know the lady just wants to test it out, can we start talking good ?" .

" I'm sorry sir for the sassness earlier, but we must know clearly the ability of the master before receiving the help of the master, lest the master be killed without knowing what or could be a burden for us , ' he said , considering our opponent is very strong." explained Aino.

Aino continued his explanation. She is not actually the daughter of the Hung Tao general. But escape from the Shogunate.

Aino is actually the daughter of a Daimyo, a landlord who has autonomous power under the influence of the Dai Shogun's rule.

In general, the martial world in the Shogunate was determined by the shinobi and samurai swordsmen.

Samurai were swordsmen who lived by the way of the sword. Shinobi are those who live as weapons. Humans who make themselves as weapons, of course for those who are willing to give a suitable price.

In general, there are 2 major streams in the Shogun's shinobi world.2 these are the Iga and Kouga streams.

The soul of competition between these 2 streams makes them never get along. They always choose the opposite position in choosing the employer they defend.

Problems tapered when the political world of the Shogunate was ignited. The Dai Shogun as the ruler felt one of his subordinates Daimyo as if he wanted to rebel.

The problem began when the Dai Shogun proposed the idea of uniting one world one ruler.

According to one of his subordinates sayu Daimyo, the military aggression plan requires a large budget. And the solution offered by the Dai Shogun is also limited to raising taxes to support a stronger military.

Daimyo reckons the plan will burden people recovering from the typhoon.

But the Dai Shogun's advisers deflected Daimyo's report as if Daimyo wanted to fight the Dai Shogun's rule

 

.

 

The adviser was a member of the Kouga school. And the Kouga Stream is a specialist shinobi manipulating humans.

The Kouga school follows the path of the god oni kibutsuji muzan. Their mainstay is blood. The moves that manipulate the body so that it has the strength, speed, and recovery of the body instantly.

The risk of using the Kouga flow blood style requires a sufficient intake of human blood. They can take in nutrients by eating humans and drinking their blood.

The Dai Shogun has also been affected by the promise of the Kouga school to obtain eternal life and absolute power. Be the Dai Shogun to be the appropriate puppet for the Kouga stream.

The opposite of the Kouga flow is the Iga flow. Iga flow relies on breathing style according to natural elements. In contrast to the bloodline that gives instant strength, this breath is very dependent on training methods and no one achieves quick results.

Seeing the Kouga flow supporting the Dai Shogunate, the Iga flow supporting Daimyo .This is the beginning of the Iga clan disaster. The Kouga stream is able to get instant results at the expense of humans.

The results are easy if there is a ruler who is used as a puppet. While the flow of Iga is not able to follow the rate of increase in the strength of the Kouga flow .

Daimyo is eventually defeated, his daughter is evacuated to her neighboring country and happens to get help from the Hung Tao general of the Ryuun empire to babysit her daughter.

So when the castle of Daimyo was leveled, the hime, princess, had a chance to escape. Followed by some shinobi who are in charge of guarding the princess.

But the real problem is not finished yet, Kouga's flow of war power continues to chase the fleeing princess. They assume the identity of a pirate or criminal who interferes with Ryuun's imperial sovereignty in the central plains.

The Kouga school kidnaps many children to be made oni, demons, like other members of the Kouga school. They continue to grow stronger as the number of children they have kidnapped.

Even they built their headquarters similar to a fortress that was strong enough and made it difficult for the kingdom to eradicate them.
