The Spear Knights of Nirwana

Seppuku Ritual

***

Mori Yoichi is the name of the Mori Shinobi tribe who became the leader of the Tsuki Clan attack on Daimo's orders.

The Mori tribe of two Shinobi are extremely capable and the Five Shinobi mainstays three of them are Mori Ginjiro, Mori Katashi and Mori Yoichi.

Now Yoichi is completely helpless in the condition of his body bound and mouth in a clothed with white cloth.

Actually Tian Feng wanted to force Yoichi to say where the Mori Tribe was, but instead of answering Yoichi instead intended to bite his own tongue so that his tongue was broken and Tian Feng did not get any answers from him.

Luckily Tian Feng soon found out so he quickly held Yoichi's jaw open and stuffed it with a cloth.

"I admit your loyalty to your tribe chief! Though Katashi alone no longer want to gather with you and prefer to live together with his lover from the Tribe of your sworn enemy Kusa Tribe!" tian Feng's words were then translated by Naomi.

Yoichi glares and is shocked to hear Tian Feng's words translated by Naomi, whom Yoichi knows Katashi has long gone on a stint to find Ginjiro's killer and kill him.

But until now there has been no news from Katashi so all the Mori Tribe assume if Katashi might be killed.

Now he has learned the truth if Katashi is actually still alive, worse yet Katashi is actually together with the Kusa Tribe who became their sworn enemy.

"Hows it? Do you still not want to tell me where your hiding place is? You need to know if I came here just to say this to your tribal leader and have no other intentions!" said Tian Feng.

Even though Tian Feng had said so, yet Yoichi remained in disbelief and preferred to shut up.

"Alright if you still won't tell me! I wonder if later you can withstand the torment from me!" tian Feng said then he went out.

Naomi immediately followed out after she finished translating Tian Feng's words, "What are you going to do to her?" ask Naomi.

"Do you have satanic leaf powder?" tian Feng asked.

Tian Feng was sure that there must be a Shinobi who had the powder because he knew that there was a certain Shinobi who had it.

"Where did you know and hear about the powder?" ask Naomi.

"From Katashi!" replied Tian Feng.

"Ow so..! Actually I don't have it, but one of our Shinobi bodyguards has it, let's ask him!" said Naomi then she and Tian Feng went to meet the Shinobi who had the devil leaf powder.

Devil's leaf fur powder is a very fine white powder, although fine but the powder can cause itching throughout the body.

How to use it is enough to sprinkle a little of the powder on others, but can not use hands and try the sower should not be exposed to the slightest bit of the powder, but can not use it, otherwise the person in the sow and the sower will both feel itching, and itching all over the body will still be felt for up to two days.

After obtaining a pack of leaves from the demonic leaf powder, Tian Feng and Naomi immediately went back to meet Yoichi.

Tian Feng showed the small leaf roll that contained the powder to Yoichi and explained it.

Yoichi certainly knew of the powder so he felt panic and fear. Indeed the powder would not kill him, but if Tian Feng sprinkled a little into his body, then he would be greatly tormented by the itching, let alone he was in a bound state.

Tian Feng hadn't sown it yet, but Yoichi had already imagined the itch and also imagined how tormented it would be, even more tormented than suicidal, and if you can choose Yoichi would rather die than have to be tormented by itching.

"Yesop..! Ummm..!" said Yoichi trying to speak.

"What's? I don't understand what you're saying!" said Tian Feng who was playing Yoichi more and more.

Yoichi obviously felt annoyed because he realized that Tian Feng was deliberately playing tricks on him, in addition, Tian Feng slowly opened the package of leaves, making Yoichi increasingly struggling to say something.

Tian Feng tells Naomi to open the cloth that coagulates Yoichi's mouth so that Yoichi immediately speaks.

"I beg you not to do that! I'll say it!" said Yoichi who panicked as well as tell the location of his tribe is located.

"Your tribal chief must be so proud of you!" tian Feng said as he patted Yoichi on the shoulder then he placed the short sword beside Touchi then opened the bond that bound Yoichi's body.

"Now you know what you're supposed to do, right? I've prepared the sword to use it!" tian Feng said then he and Naomi left the freed Yoichi.

Although Tian Feng was not a native of Toakai, he knew the customs and culture of the Toakai people, the custom was named Seppuku, which meant cutting the stomach.

Seppuku is a form of ritual suicide performed by samurai and followed by Shinobi by tearing the stomach and removing the intestines to restore good name after failure while carrying out tasks or mistakes in the people's interests.

Seppuku was part of the bushido code of honor, and was performed voluntarily by Toakai knights who wanted to die honorably rather than be captured by the enemy, or as a form of capital punishment for having committed a serious offense, or done on the basis of other shameful acts.

Usually the ritual of cutting the stomach on a seppuku is performed in front of eyewitnesses, the samurai thrust a short sword, usually a tanto toward the stomach, and then a tanto toward the stomach, and use the short sword to do the slitting motion of the stomach from left to right, and usually the Seppuku Ritual is equipped with white clothes and there is one person who will cut off the head.

Yoichi sat down and lowered his head, lamenting the great mistake he had made.

As one of the most loyal members of the tribe, obviously his name will soon be smeared before the Mori tribe, so the only way is to do Seppuku.

Yoichi picked up the short sword next to him and then he undressed and began to point the tip of the sword or Tanto into his stomach.

Yoichi performs Seppuku without any witnesses or any other preparations, with the other word Seppuku performed by Yoichi is a closed ritual.

Tian Feng and Naomi only heard Yoichi's agonizing roar from within and the voice disappeared.

"What are your plans for Tian-Kun?" ask Naomi.

"Honestly, I have absolutely no problem with the Mori Tribe, but the problem is due to their own actions so I have to deal with them!" replied Tian Feng.

"Does this have anything to do with Katashi and Katsuyuki?"

Tian Feng smiled faintly then he turned his head inside and looked at the dead Yoichi.

"Katashi and Katsuyuki's relationship may be one of them, but the other problem is the Mori chief's order that sends Katashi to capture and finish off my family! If I keep letting it go, in the future they will definitely do the same while at that time I still haven't returned!" said Tian Feng.

"I understand your concern Tian-Kun, but all that might not happen if you don't help us in the first place, you could say that it's all because of us! So let us help you!" said Naomi.

Currently, Saichi is not at home, and five Shinobi and three samurai go to Daimyo's house to report on the Daimo attack.

The security of the Tsuki Clan was currently in the hands of Naomi as well as Tian Feng, so if Tian Feng and Naomi left, then no one else would guard the Clan.

Tian Feng took out a long and curved sword from his Night Sky Ring, then he handed the sword to Naomi.

Naomi was obviously shocked when she saw her father's sword appear just like that in Tian Feng's hands, she wanted to ask but Tian Feng spoke to her first.

"Your father put this sword on me, I will give it back to you!" said Tian Feng.

Had it been since the beginning Tian Feng had shown that slightly curved long sword, surely Saichi and all of the Tsuki Clan would bow down to him because the sword was Tsuki's sword that only the main Clan and his successors had.

Tian Feng obviously did not want that, therefore he did not show it at all and now the sword should be given to Naomi as the son of Hiroshi as well as the main descendant of the Tsuki Clan.

Naomi, who was still curious about how Tian Feng had raised the sword, could only silently grin, she received the sword but her mind was still filled with many questions.

"My task here is done, now I have to go to complete the next task and it is likely that I will go directly to Jiu Kingdom after I settle this Mori Tribe," tian Feng said then he turned around and jumped flying towards the forest.

Naomi herself was speechless so her eyes were only staring at Tian Feng who had disappeared, she was not fukos so did not hear too much of what Tian Feng had told her, and after Tian Feng had disappeared, then he came to his senses and had a chance to remember if Tian Feng said he would go directly to Jiu Kingdom after finishing business.

"You're the only selfish man who doesn't want to understand my feelings at all Tian-kun!" muttered Naomi then she summoned three ronin men to bury Yoichi who was dead because of the Seppuku Ritual.
