If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 310 A worthless human life

There are five ninjas climbing the long rope, two of them are female ninjas and three of them are male.

They were all hired by Translator Yamashita through past relationships. The five of them all came from the same school and were all good players in the school.

Using their own evaluation standards, they are chuunin.

Ninjas are not as described by a certain eye legend in later generations, who can change the terrain at every turn and throw all kinds of messy escape techniques at will. Similarly, the number of jounin is also very rare.

The so-called ninjas do know some five-element escape techniques, which are derived from the five-element techniques brought back by the envoys sent by the Japanese country to the Central Plains.

Although the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty only learned a superficial knowledge at that time, it was still regarded as a secret technique by the Japanese court at that time, and a special person was sent to learn it to protect the Japanese king and the female family members in the inner palace.

However, later on, when the power of the Japanese king fell and the samurai came to power and the shogunate came to power, this part of the palace secrets was leaked out and gradually evolved into the so-called ninja school.

Most of them have not been able to learn the complete Five Elements spells, and the inheritance they can retain may only be one or two superficial Five Elements spells, and more of them have retained the practice methods developed by the Japanese court based on the Five Elements spells.

Those who can practice according to these cultivation methods to the stage of refining and refining Qi according to the Taoist realm can be called Jonin.

This level of cultivation is nothing compared to the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, there can be some supernatural powers among mortals, and one can be compared to ten.

However, these ninja training methods are special, and coupled with hundreds of years of improvement and evolution, they have formed a special set of breath gathering, concealment and stealth methods, which can be regarded as a lineage of their own.

Generally speaking, they will be divided into different schools according to the different cultivation methods they master. The strongest among these schools can establish the so-called ninja li, thus developing into a more powerful force.

For example, Iga and Koga on Honshu Island are two famous ninja schools, each with its own ninja.

It's just that the group of ninjas hired by Yamashita are not that powerful. Iga and Koga were able to establish a ninja li because they each had dozens of jounin, and they were large enough to form a ninja army, so they could receive orders from the local area. Daimyo's war hires made a lot of money.

There are only three jounin in their school, one of whom is an old ninja, and there are only a dozen chunin. The total number of people in their school does not exceed 100. Naturally, they are unable to establish a ninja li, and they just opened one in the mountains. With the settlement and fields, a small village was built.

In the past, their school would accept employment from the big names on Kyushu Island and do tasks such as spying on the enemy and stealing information. Because there were not many people, the money they could earn was naturally not much, so it was difficult for the school to develop greatly.

In the past, they could still make a living. However, after Zhu Zhanquan wiped out the so-called big names and various forces on the island, these ninja sects quickly lost their past important source of funds, and now they can only rely on a few donations. Businessmen worked as guards to earn money to support their families.

This time they were willing to take on such a dangerous job and sent all the few experts here because the green-robed official promised to pay a very generous reward and had an official background. Their school also wanted to take the opportunity to compete with Zheng Fan got involved so that he could receive commissions from Zheng Fan and maintain the development of the school.

So the five ninjas who were climbing the rope gritted their teeth and struggled to climb up. Even though the hundred-foot-long rope was very swaying, if they were not careful, they would fall down and be shattered to pieces.Although they were also tied with ropes to ensure their safety, no one could guarantee that the hundred-foot-long cable would not suddenly break.

After all, they had climbed dozens of feet above the ground at this moment. The strong wind was blowing in their ears, as if they were standing on the top of the mountain. The rope was also being blown around, making it difficult to hold on firmly. , it is also very laborious to climb up.

But none of them checked out, and they were all trying their best to climb up.

It has to be said that the Japanese are very energetic in some aspects. Although it can be said that they like to go to extremes and extremes, in many cases they can indeed achieve things with this energy.

Just like now, although one of the three long ropes fell due to the looseness of the arrow, the two people on this rope fell instantly, but the remaining three people did not seem to see it, and they still looked uncomfortable. Climbing up Fuyun Mountain and vowing not to give up.

Zuo Changshi and others at the foot of the mountain saw this scene and couldn't help but feel frightened. They felt that these ninjas were really ruthless and unique in some aspects.

This made Zuo Changshi have some thoughts and wanted to hire this group of ninjas and even take them under the command of the prince.

It's not that Zuo Changshi has any evil intentions, but he feels that if these ninjas are used to spy on military formations or serve as guards for the palace, with their unafraid of death, they are indeed good candidates.

"Two of them died. Do we need extra money?" Zuo Changshi asked Yamashita with some worry when he saw a ninja going to collect the bodies of the two people who fell.

"Why do they need extra money? They accepted the task and have already agreed on the reward. No matter what price they pay, they must complete the task. It is normal for people to die." Yamashita has no feeling about this, just like death Not two people are the same.

But this is actually normal. After all, Japan has more than 1000 earthquakes throughout the year, and human life is worth less than dog meat.

After all, in Japan, if you want to eat dog meat, you have to spend a lot of energy, but if you want to kill someone?For a samurai, there is no need for a reason. You just don’t like it, or you have bought a new sword and want to try it out to kill people, or even just want to kill people for fun. There is no problem. Just draw the sword and kill it. .

In the Japanese country, as long as a samurai did not encounter someone with stronger force, there was no problem at all in hacking a few civilians to death, and he did not even have legal responsibility.

Even though we are now under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the court has strict laws and samurai like Yamashita can no longer kill people at will, but this concept of devaluing human life will not be changed for a while.

Not to mention the Japanese country, even in the Ming Dynasty, not everyone cared about the life and death of the people.

So for Yamashita, the fate of the ninja?When they get paid, they have to work!
When Zuo Changshi heard what Yamashita said, he couldn't help but sigh, these ninjas are really miserable, they have done all the dirty work, and then they still don't have money to buy their lives?
"They are really dedicated!" Zuo Changshi suppressed this sentence, and at the same time he also felt that these ninjas might be of great use.
