In the evening, at the seaside villa.
Kazuo sat on the sofa in the living room. On the table was a brand-new box, which contained Nine Tails’ head.
Kazuo was unable to remain calm this time. His hands were shaking, not out of fear, but out of anger.
For this particular mission, virtual-novel.net had lost his capable men again and again. Even the most capable among them, Nine Tails, was no longer alive. The loss of Nine Tails was unbearable. But what angered virtual-novel.net the most was not losing capable men, but being unable to accomplish the mission!
It was all in vain.
If virtual-novel.net was to abort the mission and return now, virtual-novel.net would not be getting a single cent. On top of that, his men’s sacrifice would be in vain.
Just the thought of it caused virtual-novel.net to be at a loss.
Excluding Kazuo, four out of five of the most capable men among the Iga Ninjas were dead. Nine Tails, Rock Field, Sea Turtle, and Water Snake had all been beheaded.
Who exactly was Thomas? Was virtual-novel.net not too powerful?
If virtual-novel.net had to know, even if virtual-novel.net went on a war with Igas, virtual-novel.net would not lose that many capable men.
Kazuo could not understand it.
How did Thomas, someone who had no knowledge of ninja skills, be capable of seeing through their techniques?
Especially Nine Tails who had a perfect run in his missions. Even virtual-novel.net had failed. One could only imagine how powerful Thomas was.
“What on earth are you, Thomas?”
Kazuo had finally realized that the five hundred million dollars were not easy money. A life in exchange for five hundred million dollars. It did sound like easy money, but it was really hard to earn that money for real.
“Kazuo took a deep breath and thought to himself, ‘What should I do after this?’
Even Nine Tails had failed. Then, the only one who was capable enough to take Thomas’ life was only…
Was Kazuo going to deal with this himself?
No way!
He knew nothing about Thomas. If virtual-novel.net were to make any moves at this point, there was a high possibility of virtual-novel.net following Nine Tails’ footsteps.
Excluding himself, there was one man who was stronger than Nine Tails. Moreover, that man might be stronger than Kazuo himself. He was the strongest among the five capable men, Sky Dog!
The only problem was that Kazuo was not that willing to send out Sky Dog. That was because virtual-novel.net had an agreement with Sky Dog.
Sky Dog’s parents were hunted down by their enemies when virtual-novel.net was still young. They ran with Sky Dog in their arms, but their enemies eventually caught up with them and killed his parents. They were about to kill Sky Dog as well. But Kazuo managed to catch up in the nick of time.
Kazuo, who had keen eyes, knew that virtual-novel.net was a rare talent for ninja skills at first glance. Therefore, virtual-novel.net decided to save Sky Dog and killed his enemies.
Kazuo saved Sky Dog and raised virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net taught virtual-novel.net the Iga Clan’s techniques. It had been proven that Kazuo did have keen eyes. Sky Dog did not disappoint virtual-novel.net at all. He had immense talent in ninja skills.
What surprised people the most was, Sky Dog managed to master the S-rank ninjutsu, which no one among the Igas managed to practice for over a hundred years, Flute-Killing Art!
That was the technique that even Kazuo was unable to learn. But Sky Dog, on the other hand, mastered it.
The difference in talent was obvious!
Hence, the legend of Sky Dog had been circulated among the ninjas. Sky Dog and Ryosuke were the two prodigies in the ninja realm.
Iga-Sky Dog, Koka-Ryosuke. Both of them were the icons of worship and were the goals of many young men in the ninja world!
