Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 465 Today, we bring you the terrifying truth about ninjas!
"Ninjas do exist."

Inside the shop, Jagi spoke in a voice that only Yamoto could hear, with a very direct and affirmative tone.

They are not the ninjas commonly found in fantasy works, but rather something more special.

"Aieee... Ninja? How could something like that possibly exist?"

The girl's voice trembled, her expression filled with tension, and she vehemently denied it. A chill ran down her spine; "Ninja Reality Shock Syndrome" was beginning to manifest in her.

Monsters, superpowered individuals, aliens, people from other worlds… their existence is acceptable, but ninjas are the only exception, and there's a reason for that—

Ninja reality shock (NRS) is a mental disorder that occurs when an ordinary person sees a fictional ninja that should not exist.

The main reason is that after the massacre of ninjas in the Heian period, the instinct of fear of ninjas was engraved in the DNA of mortals, and the brain produced symptoms in order to protect itself.

The common symptoms are incontinence (but occasionally some people can lock their bladders) and a state of confusion and disorientation. In severe cases, there is a possibility of death.

Although Kyoto Castle is an iconic landmark that attracts tourists from all over the world, ordinary citizens and tourists can only reach the outer perimeter of Kyoto Castle, while the interior of Kyoto Castle is under heavy security.

On the surface, it's for the protection of cultural heritage, but the real reason is that this is the base of the evil ninja organization, Sin & Punishment Studios.

The Lord of Punishment's ever-present web of illusion-real transformation techniques has the effect of dispelling all doubts in Kyoto about the existence of Punishment and ninjas.

It is mainly applied to ordinary people. A very small number of ordinary people will continue to have doubts, but they will be regarded as mentally deranged and automatically eliminated by society, keeping the secrets of Kyoto and the punishments.

Therefore, Yamoto Koki was completely unaware of the existence of ninjas.

"Peace of mind."

Jagi extended his finger and gently pressed it under the girl's nose. As if by magic, the girl, who had fallen into a state of confusion after hearing the word "ninja," instantly calmed down.

——Secret Kong·Dingshen.

In the parlance of this world, what he just used was the miraculous acupressure technique of "Secret Acupoint Technique." Of course, although this technique is highly practical, he has only used it a handful of times... and it can only be used in situations like this.

"Next, we'll reveal the harsh reality of ninja life, the story of the birth of the progenitor of ninjas..."

"Please continue..."

The girl took a deep breath and answered with a firm gaze. The panic she had just experienced was an irresistible reaction etched deep into her mortal DNA, but with the help of the "Secret Hole Technique," she had completely calmed down and was now demonstrating her strong mental fortitude.

The history before the Heian period was shrouded in darkness. These ninja myths were passed down among true ninjas, but over thousands of years, after being recorded on scrolls and circulated among wandering ninjas, they underwent various changes, misunderstandings, and deliberate alterations, and soon no one could distinguish what was real and what was fiction.

Finally, there are many different historical accounts regarding the origin of ninjas, which can be roughly divided into three categories—

The first version is that long ago, the first master of the Phantom Rotation Technique created the Phantom Ninja World and left behind four incredibly powerful golden weapons of the Phantom Rotation Technique. After the master's death, his two sons swore to protect these weapons, but the elder brother, King Kaman, harbored evil intentions and attempted to monopolize the weapons, leading to a world-spanning war between the brothers... This was later disproven by the research of Professor Umino Sudo of the Department of Archaeology at Shin-Saitama University.

The second version states that the first ninja god was born before an eternal, unchanging green curtain that had no beginning and no end. The ninja god initially heard a voice from beyond the realm. That voice seemed to possess boundless power; even a lingering echo could shake the boundless green expanse.

The God of Ninjas unleashed the Ninja Scroll "Rain Ninja Secret Technique" and gathered the original "Rain Clay" to distribute among the ninjas of the ninja world...

Later, research by Professor Umino Sudo of the Department of Archaeology at Shin-Saitama University and his student Katakura Fujio also disproved this claim.

These are all illusions created by real ninjas, hidden in the dark side of the world! They are all lies! Experts have debunked the myths; ninjas simply do not exist!
Clearly, the third one is the "correct history".

—In the ancient times.

—Also known as the Dark Ages or the Age of Myth.

It was roughly between 3000 and 2000 BC.

The progenitor of ninjas, "Katsu Manmatsu," was born.

He is the father and ancestor of all ninjas, the ninja among ninjas, in other words, the wrathful one (nunja). The turning point of this world was the birth of the ancestor of ninjas, "Katsu Manmatsu"!

Just like in the Haruhi Suzumiya world, where various powers erupted because of Haruhi Suzumiya's single thought, in the Hokuto world, the heavens chose the Hokuto progenitor, Xiuxuan, and the Superman Fist Technique began to be born!
Influenced by Katsumanmatsu, ninjas were illuminated by his radiance and began to be born in large numbers.

With the birth of many disciples and apostles of Katsumonosong, powerful ninjas and clans flourished everywhere. The ninjas secretly manipulated and ruled all civilizations around the world, and countless myths and legends arose during this time. The true identities of religious gods or legendary figures from various places were all ninjas, and these ninjas were as powerful as gods.

Later, Katsumatsu's last apostle, "Hattori Ninja," led the "Six Knights of the Ninja" to raise the banner of rebellion against the Angry Ones. After a fierce war, the ancestor of the ninjas was defeated.

"Ninjas ruled the Heian period with karate, but the Heian period was not peaceful—ninjas fought ninjas, ninjas ruled over ordinary people, ordinary people rebelled against ninjas, ordinary people fought against ordinary people… The subsequent history is as you know: the Industrial Revolution broke out, two world wars broke out, space exploration came to a standstill due to the Y2K incident and electronic warfare, but…"

Jia Ji didn't continue, but Xiao Ji picked up where he left off, unable to resist speaking up—

"But the ninjas didn't disappear; they simply 'left the surface stage.'"

In a strange, immersive feeling, as if she were being bathed in flowing water, she—Yamoto Koki—listened to the man from another world recount such incredible events… and her heart was not at all afraid, but rather surprisingly calm.

"Hello!"

The girl suddenly sneezed cutely.

She tightened her thick school uniform, feeling that this winter was particularly...cold.

Because terrifying, ruthless ninjas might be lurking around her!
