The work The Basilisk Scrolls.
It tells the story of the 19th year of Keicho.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, in order to choose an heir and to weaken the ninja forces...
Decided to let the Iga and Kouga ninja clans...
Fight each other on behalf of his two grandsons, Takechiyo and Kunichiyo.
The specific rule was that Kouga and Iga...
Would each select ten strongest ninjas from their villages and write their names on the Ninja Scroll.
Any means could be used, as long as they could kill the opponents.
Whichever side had surviving ninjas on the list in the end...
Would be the winner.
The winning side would become the shogun's ninjas for generations.
The candidate supported by the surviving winner would also become the future third Shogun.
But in this Naruto world...
Tokugawa Ieyasu's name remained unchanged.
But he was downgraded from Shogun of the world to a Daimyo.
And the population of the territory he ruled also shrank by dozens of times.
Becoming the Daimyo of an ordinary small country.
However, even so, his encounter hadn't changed at all.
Still facing a succession crisis, and also decided to hold a death game.
At the same time, it was also to deplete the top experts of the two clans.
At the end of the work...
He unsurprisingly dispatched the samurai army to exterminate the already heavily damaged two clans.
It seemed that no matter which country's Daimyo...
They all felt uneasy about ninjas. But this was human nature.
Rasa's figure flickered in the woods, like a ghost.
Half an hour later, Rasa arrived a few miles outside the village of the Iga clan.
He hid in a big tree.
Feeling the weak Chakra reactions emitted by several people around...
These were the hidden sentries posted by the Iga clan outside the village.
Just as Rasa wanted to enter the village...
He suddenly saw a man and a woman walking under the tree.
Rasa looked closely.
After identifying the man and woman, a strange smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect to meet a couple so coincidentally as soon as he arrived.
It seemed that the people who were a couple in the original plot...
Were also a couple in this Naruto world.
The relationship hadn't changed.
But this made it even more exciting.
A dozen meters away under the tree.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman were strolling together.
The man wearing coarse black clothes, with a small braid tied at the back of his head and a strand of black bangs hanging down on each side of his forehead...
Was Yashamaru, one of the Iga Ten.
Rasa glanced at Yashamaru a few times and stopped paying attention.
Just a low-budget puppet master.
The kind who only used special hair to attack and couldn't control puppets.
He turned his greedy gaze to the quiet girl in a kimono next to him.
Staring at the girl's chest shaking with her steps, Rasa thought secretly:
"Looking down at Hotarubi from above, those two mounds look bigger than imagined."
"But that makes sense. Kimonos don't really show one's figure."
The girl next to Yashamaru...
Was his fiancée, Hotarubi.
Hotarubi, one of the Iga Ten.
Hotarubi wore a dark kimono and had black bangs covering her forehead.
The long hair at the back of her head was left unmanaged, allowed to drape smoothly over her back.
She was a slender, well-behaved girl who looked as quiet as a lady from a noble family, but had a pitiful expression.
She mastered the 'Butterfly Control Jutsu', able to control special spirit butterflies to confuse others, which was considered a relatively low-level genjutsu.
At the same time, she kept a white snake.
The white snake had a certain ability to distinguish and could bite others unexpectedly at critical moments.
It was obvious that this man and woman were still very reserved when staying together.
This could be seen from the distance between them when walking.
When walking, there was a distance of three fists wide between them, and they didn't hold hands.
From their actions of looking at the trees around them from time to time...
It could be seen that they seemed to care very much about the eyes of those hidden sentries.
This seemed to be the reason why the two didn't get too close.
Rasa smiled and disappeared from the tree.
"Hotarubi, the Daimyo is holding a meeting tomorrow. It seems there is something important. Grandma Ogen asked me to go with her."
The somewhat evil-looking young man looked embarrassedly at the hidden sentries in the trees.
He said softly to the girl walking silently beside him, his tone carrying a hint of showing off.
A trace of joy appeared on Hotarubi's quiet face. Her gentle tone carried a hint of happiness:
"That's great. This means Grandma Ogen values you very much."
Hotarubi was very satisfied with her fiancé.
He was only a few years older than her.
His strength was enough to rank in the top five in the village.
Most importantly, he was very handsome, with regular features and a smile carrying a hint of evil charm.
Among the men in the village whose looks were generally strange, he was enough to rank first.
Yashamaru smiled proudly and touched his head.
Although very proud inside...
In front of his fiancée, he still said modestly:
"Not really. Grandma just thinks I'm too young and wants to take me to see the world."
The man and woman chatted very restrainedly.
As they walked farther and farther, the hidden sentries around became sparse.
He didn't know when it started...
The distance between the man and woman became closer and closer.
From the original distance of three fists...
To two fists, then silently to one fist.
With the swing of their steps, they could touch each other's waist.
Suddenly, Hotarubi felt her hand held by the other party.
Her fair face turned completely red instantly. She lowered her beautiful head silently but didn't struggle free.
Hotarubi only felt a feeling of electric shock constantly surging into her brain.
Her originally steady heartbeat suddenly raced.
An inexplicable atmosphere flowed between the man and woman.
Seeing she didn't say anything, Yashamaru was happy.
He looked up at the surroundings and walked toward a more remote forest.
That side was completely out of the village's control range, with absolutely no hidden sentries.
However, they didn't know...
A few meters behind them, there was always a person hiding in the tree, watching the performance of the two.
As the atmosphere between them became sweeter...
The man in the tree became more and more excited.
His eyes were full of the desire to destroy beautiful things.
"What a sweet couple."
"Strange. Obviously I'm a pure love party member; why do I just want to do things only perverts would do now?"
Rasa put away the perverted smile on his face, mocked himself, and followed closely behind the couple.
Holding hands was fine.
But Rasa wouldn't allow further contact.
Rasa had already regarded Hotarubi as one of his harem members.
Rasa, realizing his possessiveness was becoming stronger, mocked himself...
And continued to stare greedily at Hotarubi's elegantly twisting back.
"One of the side effects of exchanging for the Advanced Poison Resistance Physique is that desire becomes several times stronger. Sure enough, it's not just talk."
Rasa found that the desire in his heart was becoming stronger and stronger, almost uncontrollable.
This also caused his behavior when excited to be completely different from his usual gentle self.
Soon, Hotarubi and Yashamaru walked to a forest with a stream.
Not far away, there was a smooth and flat boulder.
Several people could easily lie on the boulder.
Yashamaru pulled Hotarubi directly to sit on the boulder.
Hotarubi's face was completely flushed now.
She turned her head shyly, not daring to look directly into the man's eyes next to her.
She never expected...
Obviously, she and her fiancé hadn't even kissed before, or even held hands.
Now not only did they hold hands...
They even seemed about to skip many steps in between and do that kind of thing directly!
Yashamaru swallowed. Just as he was about to say something, his ears suddenly moved.
Yashamaru's evil face showed an incredible expression.
He suddenly let go of Hotarubi's hand, looked vigilantly at the forest on the left, and roared:
"Who is playing tricks there? Come out quickly!"
Such a loud voice should have spread directly to the distant forest, startling birds and beasts.
However, Yashamaru's roar echoed strangely within these dozens of square meters.
As if the surroundings had been isolated by something invisible, and even sound couldn't get out.
A few seconds later, a man in black carrying a thick bundle on his back and looking travel-worn walked out of the forest on the left.
The man in black didn't wear any mask on his face.
His face, although stained with dust, looked very handsome and gentle, but now wore a strange and perverted smile.
Rasa laughed strangely:
"I deliberately didn't hide my footsteps, walking over step by step."
"Even so, it took you more than twenty seconds to react. You really disappoint me, Yashamaru!"
Yashamaru looked at this man in black in disbelief.
Was this the result of him deliberately not hiding his footsteps?
Such weird movement techniques, must be an expert!
His heart beat rapidly, and dense sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yashamaru didn't speak, but Hotarubi beside him stood up bravely and probed:
"Who exactly are you?"
"Someone from Kouga?"
"Have you forgotten the No-Hostilities Pact?"
Hearing his fiancée's words, Yashamaru woke up from fear. He added hurriedly:
"Yes, exactly!"
"If you dare to act privately and break the No-Hostilities Pact, just wait to accept the Daimyo's wrath!"
The strange smile on Rasa's face became even brighter. He shook his head:
"Who said I'm from Kouga? I'm just an ordinary passerby."
"Ordinary passerby? Who are you kidding!"
Hotarubi wanted to speak to settle the matter peacefully.
But Yashamaru beside her said angrily first:
"Apart from people from Kouga, who else has such weird movement techniques!"
"Take this!"
While saying this, ten black threads had wrapped around Yashamaru's hands at some point.
With the movement of Yashamaru's hands, the ten black threads flew toward Rasa with the sound of breaking wind!
In the distance of dozens of meters, the threads flew to Rasa in less than half a second!
Seeing that the strange man in black didn't make any move, seemingly not reacting...
Yashamaru breathed a sigh of relief, and even a smug smile appeared on his face.
What?
This strange guy seemed to only have weird movement techniques. He was scared by him for nothing.
The woman's hair in his hand, refined by a special secret method...
Was enough to easily shatter a boulder two meters thick and four meters high!
However, the smile on Yashamaru's face froze instantly less than a second after it rose!
The expressions of smugness and fear mixed on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.
Yashamaru moved his hands desperately. His fingers even bled from being strangled by the threads due to excessive force.
But the black threads, only a few centimeters away from Rasa...
Remained motionless as if fixed firmly!
Rasa gently raised his left hand, which had been behind his back, to the top of his head.
Under the sunlight, several fine Chakra threads could be faintly seen.
Rasa looked at Yashamaru, who was desperately moving his hands, with a strange smile.
"This is Puppet Technique."
As Rasa said this sentence...
His left hand moved, and the originally motionless black threads...
Instantly shuttled back in the opposite direction at a speed several times faster than when they came, binding Yashamaru firmly!
A few seconds after binding Yashamaru, the sound of breaking wind rang out.
Hotarubi, who had just used the 'Butterfly Control Jutsu' and summoned twenty brightly colored special spirit butterflies around her...
Ready to join the battlefield, she realized then that it was already over!
Looking at this battle that ended instantly within ten seconds—no, it should be said to be a crush!
Beads of sweat also appeared on her white forehead.
Finally, she gritted her teeth. The twenty spirit butterflies just summoned around her flew toward Rasa rapidly.
At the same time, a small white snake crawled out from her shoulder.
The small snake crawled nimbly to the ground.
Its whole body perfectly hidden in the grass, crawling toward Rasa.
After doing all this, Hotarubi didn't even look at Rasa's side.
She immediately pulled out a small knife from her waist.
Hotarubi took the small knife shining with cold light under the sun...
And slashed directly at the firmly bound Yashamaru next to her!
Snap!
With a harsh sound...
The small knife held in Hotarubi's hand broke directly into two halves!
The black threads binding Yashamaru firmly were not damaged at all, only a blurred white mark remained.
Looking down at the knife broken in half, Yashamaru regretted it immensely.
Why did he use so many special secret methods to temper this hair to be so hard and sharp?
But soon, Yashamaru looked up at Rasa expectantly.
He held the last hope in his heart.
Hoping this mysterious man in black could be trapped by Hotarubi's genjutsu.
However, he was disappointed.
He saw the mysterious man gently pinching the white snake's seven inches (vital spot) with his left hand, while the corpses of more than twenty spirit butterflies lay on the ground!
Seeing this situation, Yashamaru's legs began to go soft. He wanted to collapse directly on the ground.
But his body was firmly bound by the wire threads. He couldn't even collapse on the ground!
Hotarubi looked in horror at the man in black who easily solved the spirit butterflies she was proud of in a few seconds...
And also easily subdued her hidden trump card, the white snake.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the man in black, which had not moved from beginning to end, moved.
He took a small step forward with relaxed steps.
As relaxed as taking a walk in his own back garden.
But as this man in black got closer and closer...
More and more fine sweat appeared on Hotarubi's face.
Hotarubi took a deep breath, a certain determination showing on her face.
She gritted her teeth and pulled out the last small knife hidden in her bosom, protecting directly in front of Yashamaru.
But as the man in black got closer and closer, finally walking to a distance of only two meters from the two...
The determination on Hotarubi's face disappeared, replaced by despair.
She was usually best at raising various animals and therefore had subtle animal intuition.
She didn't notice it before, but now that the distance between the two was so close...
Hotarubi finally discovered.
The gap between herself and the man in black in front of her was like heaven and earth!
Hotarubi understood that even if she fought this man in black in close combat, she would probably be easily subdued by him in one move.
Hotarubi dropped the small knife she was holding tightly onto the ground.
She tried hard to suppress the trembling rising subconsciously in her body and bowed deeply to the man in black in front of her.
"My Lord, since you are not from Kouga, I apologize here for the rudeness of the two of us just now!"
Rasa raised his eyebrows. He was originally prepared to defeat Hotarubi in close combat.
But he didn't expect her to be so tactful.
But saving some effort was also good.
A lewd smile appeared on Rasa's face. He said softly:
"Miss Hotarubi, you offended me. Is bowing and apologizing enough?"
