Showdown!【6000】

At the foot of the mountain to the north——

Divisions 1, 3, and 6 are ready to go.

Standing in front of the team, the general manager, Saitoichi and Inoue Genzaburo all looked forward to it, waiting hard for the promised light.

Finally...a bright orange fire suddenly lit up on the top of the mountain, lighting up the night sky.

Looking at the fire that finally appeared, Saitoichi silently raised his left hand, holding the resident of Sheshu Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunishige around his waist, and said in a deep voice:

"Okita-kun, Mr. Inoue."

Souji nodded vigorously, and then pulled out Kaga Kiyomitsu from his waist neatly:

"Follow me!"

In an instant, the three squadrons roared and seized all the roads into the mountain, heading straight for Gaotori City on the mountain!

…

…

"Hey! What's going on? What's with that ball of fire?!"

"That seems to be the direction of the Black Gate!"

"Is the Black Gate on fire?"

"Oops! It's not that the black door is on fire, it's that the black door has been opened!"

"What? How is it possible?! Why was the black door opened?"

"Don't worry about it! Come over and take a look!"

Seeing something strange at the Black Gate, the nearby guards rushed over to check.

After arriving at the scene, they saw that the straight-shaped door tip of the black door had been taken off and discarded casually on the ground.

The two doors, which are more than 3 meters high, have been opened in an "eight" shape.

Right in the center of the door, a figure wearing a black ninja uniform...that is, Mai Kinoshita was standing proudly, staring at the newly arrived enemy soldiers without fear.

In today's era, ninja has long become a historical term.

Ninja uniforms that blend into the night only exist in people's imaginations, and almost no one has ever seen the real thing.

Seeing this female ninja who seemed to have traveled through time from the Warring States Period, the guards who rushed here all froze in place with expressions of astonishment.

Of course, the shock and confusion are only temporary.

Compared to the existence of this female ninja, the loss of Kuromon made them feel more emotional.

Anyone with a little brain understands: At this juncture, once the black door is opened, what will be the consequences!

As expected——

"Kill her! Take back the Black Gate!"

Someone roared.

Immediately afterwards, they desperately attacked Kinoshita Mai! In an attempt to take back the black gate!

The female ninja spread her legs silently, lowered her center of gravity, and took a stance.

Suddenly, a knife struck her head diagonally.

Funny to say, although Mai Kinoshita put on an impressive fighting stance, she did not fight head-on with the enemy group in front of her.

She was seen jumping upward slightly, dodging the incoming blade effortlessly.

In the next breath, when her delicate body began to fall, she stretched out her right leg, like a dragonfly touching water, and the small toe of her right foot lightly touched the back of the knife that had been hollowed out and had not yet been withdrawn.

The back of the knife is only half a finger wide, and it is already very strenuous just to press your toes against it, and it doesn't look like you can use it to draw strength.

However... Kinoshita Mai's body seems to have no gravity!

Then she landed lightly on the back of the knife, then jumped up lightly and returned to the air.

Someone stood on the sword... Although Kinoshita Mai quickly jumped away, the sudden increase in weight was enough to make the swordsman drink a pot.

"Ahhhhh!"

The swordsman screamed, staggered a few steps because he couldn't control his body balance, and then fell hard.

Similar scenes are constantly playing out at the scene——

"Ah! There she is!"

"Stab her with a gun! Hurry up and stab her with a gun!"

"No! Her speed is too fast! I can't keep up!"

Kinoshita dances nimbly and gives full play to her agility.

Sometimes she steps on other people's heads, sometimes she steps on other people's shoulders.

Sometimes she leaps in the air, sometimes she runs on the ground.

Just like this, it repeatedly uses force to jump and shuttle, just like a butterfly flying through flowers.

The guards were in a state of confusion due to her torment, and the scene became chaotic.

They said they were fighting... more like they were catching a naughty, cunning cat.

They used knives to chop her, stabbed her with guns... They tried every means, but they couldn't even touch a corner of her clothes.

It's like swatting a mosquito - you clearly saw it and reached out to swat it as quickly as possible. You thought you hit it, but in the end it "teleported" to another place.

In terms of personal combat power alone, Mai Kinoshita, who is not good with weapons and is only good with fists and kicks, is far from outstanding.

She is better at assassination than fighting head-on.

However, when it comes to agility and flexibility, even among the powerful Shinsengumi, few people can compare with her!

Of course, at this time, Kinoshita Mai was not completely dodging.

While dodging, she used every opportunity to punch and kick the enemy several times, knocking him off his feet.

After her repeated maneuvers, the guards at the scene were fooled by her.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kinoshita Mai is stalling for time.

Why is she stalling?

What is she waiting for?

Regarding this series of questions, her enemies soon received the answer——

"kill!"

"I saw it! It's the black door! Rush in!"

"Look! It's Miss Kinoshita!"

Outside the black gate, touches of light green color fill the end of the mountain road!

The soldiers of the 1st, 3rd, and 6th Divisions rushed towards the Kuromon Gate with all their might, rushing towards the Black Gate... no, straight towards Kotori Castle!

The people who are leading the charge are none other than the captains headed by the General Secretary.

Looking at Kuromon, who was already close at hand, and Kinoshita Mai, who was fighting with the enemy group, the Souji issued a new order without hesitation:

"Attack in! Kill the enemy whenever you encounter them!"

After saying that, she lowered her upper body slightly and accelerated suddenly!

In order to be able to command the first team of soldiers in real time, she had been holding back her strength just now and tried her best to match the speed of her subordinates.

But now, she has no worries!

In the blink of an eye, she was out of touch with her subordinates behind her.

In the blink of an eye, she has arrived at Kinoshita Mai's side, fighting the enemy side by side with her!

Compared to Mai Kinoshita, who became a female ninja, Souji, the female samurai, is the best at killing enemies and trapping enemies!

She was like the incarnation of a yaksha, slicing someone's neck open with one knife, and then slashed in the opposite direction, slicing off the second person's heavenly cap. When she retracted the knife, the turned-back blade chopped off the third person's head.

In the blink of an eye, the unlucky ones who died under her knife fell to the ground.

With such a performance, he truly deserves to be the number one Shinsengumi general under Aoto!

Following closely behind, Saitoichi, Inoue Genzaburo, and other soldiers joined the battlefield one after another, showing their fangs.

At this point, the battle here is a foregone conclusion.

Quantity, quality...nowhere on the other side is dominant.

What is there to say about this one-sided battle?

Within a few moments, the inside and outside of the Black Gate were completely purged.

Genzaburo Inoue turned to Saitoichi who was not far away and shouted:
To be continued...
