Syndication: I was a ninja in the Yokai era

1550 AD, Japan.

Musashi Country, Kaede no Village.

It is a small village hidden in a maple forest.

The population of the village is not very large, and the men, women and children together are only in their early fifties.

But it was in such an inconspicuous small village that a great big man was born.

Witch [Kikyo].

“Kikyo-sama is back!”

“Good afternoon, Lord Saint!”

“Who is that boy on Kikyo-sama’s back?”

“I don’t know, it should be a human who was attacked by a monster.”

“Oh, Kikyo-sama is still too kind…”

Villagers with farm tools, whispering.

As a witch with extraordinary spiritual powers, Kikyo can hear these “comments” very easily.

But she didn’t pay much attention to it.

She just carried the unconscious teenager behind her back and led him into a log cabin full of medicinal fragrance.

In the cabin, a young girl was looking at her sister with a bewildered gaze.

“Kaede.”

The witch called out to her own sister, who was not much younger than her, and the expression on her face was quite flat.

“This person will be handed over to you.”

……

Nanxing woke up in a sharp pain.

Because it hurt too much, his limbs subconsciously waved and accidentally knocked over the medicine jar on the table.

“Click-”

The freshly boiled herbs were sprinkled on the ground.

The pungent smell reached the teenager’s nose, making him subconsciously open his eyes.

A face with a slight hint of anger appeared in front of him!

“You knocked over the medicine I worked so hard to get up!”

The girl in the apricot yellow witch robe said with some dissatisfaction.

She herself had some opinions about this teenager of unknown origin.

“My sister always picks up some strange people from outside the village, but in the end she has to leave it to me to take care of.”

She thought with some dissatisfaction.

But he got up very quickly and cleaned up the drug residue on the ground. He ran to the table and reconfigured a new drug.

“Sorry…”

Looking at the girl’s busy figure, Nanxing said with some embarrassment.

He knew that the other party was trying to save himself.

Therefore, despite her somewhat bad attitude, Nanxing is most grateful to her.

——What can truly embody the essence of a person is not words, but actions.

But at the same time, the South Star knows better.

What he should be most grateful for is not the girl in front of him who is working hard for him.

It was the witch who saved him from hundreds of monsters.

And, more importantly.

Although he had never had any communication with the witch, Nanxing felt that he should know the witch’s name.

After all, a witch who can shoot such a powerful devil-breaking arrow as a human being… Come to think of it, it’s probably just that woman.

And a moment later, the answer of the girl in the yellow dress also confirmed Nanxing’s guess.

“Sister Kikyo?”

“After bringing you back, she went out to get rid of the demon.”

“It’s not like I… She’s busy. ”

……

Kikyo is indeed busy.

As a witch who surpasses human limits, she also bears heavy responsibilities that ordinary people cannot bear.

Basically, the entire Musashi Kingdom is within her demon eradication category.

Even if witches in other realms encounter monsters that can’t be solved, they will ask her to help.

Her fame spread all over the world, and she was called [Terran Shuangbi] along with Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, who was the leader of the Onmyoji Division.

It is also the only two people in the world who have the ability to fight against the existence of big monsters with human bodies.

Therefore, it is very common for Kikyo to go out.

Sometimes, it will even go for half a month and not return.

This is also the reason why Kaede is dissatisfied with Nanxing.

——She doesn’t hate Nanxing, but she hates the overly conscientious Kikyo.

Out of her sister’s selfishness, she wants Kikyo to stay more in the village than spend all day in exile.

But at the same time, from the position of the witch, Kaede could not make too much accusations against Kikyo for this behavior.

Therefore, she could only transfer this dissatisfaction in her heart to Nanxing’s body.

“Besides, who are you?”

Brought the re-boiled Chinese medicine to Nanxing and watched him drink it little by little.

Kaede’s face showed a very serious expression again.

She interrogates Nanxing’s whereabouts to make sure he doesn’t endanger the peaceful village.

Nanxing, on the other hand, was a little hesitant.

The identity of his traverser, of course, cannot be said.

That can say identity… There is probably only one left.

“My name is Nanxing.”

“It’s a ninja.”

……

Ninja.

This is a profession even older than Onmyoji.

It is said that as early as the sixth century, Prince Shotoku formed the first ninja army.

Later, ninjas were called “Shinobon”, “Scout”, “Chaos”, etc., and have been passed down from the Asuka era to the present.

So it’s really a very old profession.

But at the same time, this profession is not as respected as Onmyoji and samurai.

“The assassin hiding in the shadows uses despicable means to achieve ulterior goals.”

This is the world’s general impression of the profession of “ninja”.

Therefore, in this country. The status of ninjas is basically the same as that of geisha, at the bottom of society.

Kaede knows this too.

“Ninja?”

After hearing Nanxing’s self-reported door, her gaze sharpened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If you say that she was just dissatisfied with Nanxing just now.

Now she has even brought a little hostility.

After all, the reputation of ninjas is really very bad, worse than the mountain thief.

At the very least, the robbery of the mountain thief is above board and never sneaks.

But what she didn’t know was.

Nanxing is indeed a ninja – but before that, two more words are added.

“Naruto.”
