My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Seeing Sakata Gintoki looking so tired, Okita Sougo still just pointed at his eye sockets expressionlessly and reminded him lightly.

"Boss, dark circles under my eyes."

"He was beaten by some thugs."

After saying these words with the same expressionless face, Sakata Gintoki and Okita Sougo turned around at the same time and walked towards the stairs.

...Sister, I am really lucky. It is difficult to find such upright friends in a long life, but in my life, I have met three such upright friends.

At the same time, at a cargo port in Edo.

"drink!"

Without hesitation, Hijikata Toshiro raised his samurai sword and chopped down a ronin who was rushing towards him from top to bottom. The sword flashed and blood splattered everywhere.

Then, Hijikata Toshiro sprinted a few steps and rushed into a group of Ronin again. His superb swordsmanship efficiently and quickly took the lives of the Ronin, and the ground was quickly covered with large amounts of blood.

Of course, none of these bloodstains belonged to the Shinsengumi's Vice Commander Oni.

The deputy director of the Shinsengumi, named Hijikata Jushiro, has practical swordsmanship honed through hundreds of battles. This gap in strength cannot be simply made up by relying on numerical advantage.

While effectively chopping down the anti-foreignation ronin, Hijikata Toshiro also kept himself tightly entangled in a group of anti-foreignation ronin, making the anti-foreignation ronin who were armed with guns hesitant and dared not shoot at will.

boom! boom! boom!

Of course, this situation of entanglement between the enemy and us did not last from the beginning to the end. Occasionally, when Hijikata Toshiro temporarily broke away from the entanglement with the anti-foreignation ronin, the anti-foreignation ronin who were armed with guns seized the opportunity and madly fired at Hijikata Toshiro.

However, for Hijikata Toshiro, it was not particularly difficult to avoid these bullets by relying on his intuition and reaction developed from hundreds or thousands of battles.

He rolled on the ground to avoid several bullets aimed at his heart and head, and then Hijikata Toshiro dodged into the narrow passage between the containers.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it could be called a downpour, and under the washing of the rain, a large amount of bloodstains scattered on the ground of the entire port also flowed into the sea in the port with the water.

Taking a deep breath, Hijikata Toshiro casually took out a grenade from his arms, pulled the safety, paused for three seconds, and then threw it out.

The anti-foreigner ronin who were so bloodthirsty after being slaughtered by Hijikata Toshiro only rushed towards the container room where Hijikata Toshiro was hiding. They never thought that Hijikata Toshiro would have a grenade in his hand, and they never thought that Hijikata Toshiro would use delayed throwing to deal with the grenade.

The moment the anti-foreignation ronin saw the grenade thrown from the gap in the container, the grenade suddenly exploded, engulfing the entire group of anti-foreignation ronin in the flames.

boom! ! !

Accompanied by a huge explosion, a group of Ronin who were still alive and kicking just now were instantly turned into countless broken limbs and bodies. The following Ronin also subconsciously stopped and did not dare to get closer for the time being. They all looked at the rising smoke from the explosion in surprise and doubt.

Taking another deep breath, Hijikata Toshiro supported himself on his katana and stood up with his tired body. This high-intensity battle lasted for such a long time that even the deputy captain of the demon was almost at his limit.

If he leaves now, the Deputy Director of the Shinsengumi can still save his life.

However, we cannot do this. The most important task has not been completed. At this level, it is not enough.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the smoke from the explosion completely obscured the Ronin behind him, Hijikata Toshiro picked up his samurai sword and rushed into the Ronin from the billowing smoke again, entangled the Ronin once again, and made the other Ronin who were holding guns afraid to shoot easily.

Although he roared loudly with a ferocious face, trying to vent all the anger in his heart, at this moment, the consciousness of the man named Hijikata Toshiro remained cruelly calm.

This is also a matter of course.

Among his companions who came to Edo from Bushu, those who could not remain calm during the battle had all died. Similarly, the enemies who could not remain calm during the battle had all been hacked to death by the Shinsengumi's Vice Captain.

Volume 4, Edo Chronicles: Chapter 221: Prey

"This is different from what we agreed on, Mr. Kuraba!"

Standing on top of the container, the leader of these radical anti-foreigner ronin complained dissatisfiedly to the arms smuggler Kurangba Touma who remained expressionless beside him.

"Didn't you say that you had bribed the shogunate's lackeys?!"

While complaining anxiously, the leader of the anti-barbarian ronin cast his eyes downwards. This place had already been transformed into a Shura hell. Hijikata Toshiro, who was sending his subordinates into hell one after another like a bloodthirsty devil, was extremely uneasy.

"This man is the devilish vice-captain, Hijikata Jushiro, who is revered even by the Shinsengumi. Once he sets his sights on us, it will be difficult for us to escape. The Shinsengumi's reinforcements should be arriving soon..."

"……Do not."

The uneasy and anxious speech was suddenly interrupted. The leader of the anti-foreign ronin was stunned for a moment, and cast a very puzzled look at the arms merchant with a kind face. However, Kuraba Touma continued to narrate in a calm tone and slowly.

"If reinforcements were coming, they would have come long ago. I'm afraid he really went alone."

"……one person?!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the anti-foreign ronin was stunned.

"Why is this the leek, dark sulfur, IV, land fin, right? "

"who knows."

The kind-faced arms smuggler shook his head.

"As a businessman, I really cannot understand the thoughts of the samurai sages, but if that is really the case..."

Although Hijikata Toshiro was almost at his limit after charging back and forth, continuing to fight beyond his limit could even be called a normal thing for him. However, in a battle, accidents could never be prevented. As Kuraba Touma finished his words, when Hijikata Toshiro was running among the Ronin like a devil, sending one Ronin after another to hell, one of the Ronin was so frightened that he raised his gun and fired randomly without even aiming. Even several of his own people were knocked down by this terrified Ronin.

But here lies the coincidence.

A bullet was fired right in front of Hijikata Toshiro who was rushing forward. When he noticed the bullet, Hijikata Toshiro was no longer able to stop his steps. Then, the bullet penetrated Hijikata Toshiro's right calf.

The pain from the bullet piercing his body paralyzed his nerves, and Hijikata Toshiro, who had been supporting himself with his right leg, fell directly to the ground where heavy rain was pouring down.

When this situation happened suddenly, Hijikata Toshiro subconsciously turned over and used his samurai sword to block the sword of a ronin who was slashing at him.

Seeing this scene, Kurama Touma couldn't help but smile.

"...If that's the case, then all we need to do is get rid of him alone and let this samurai disappear without a trace."

……

Dragging his paralyzed right leg, Hijikata Toshiro struggled to hold on to the surface of the container, supporting his body and gasping for breath.

There were no Ronin who could still stand around, and the price Hijikata Toshiro paid for achieving this was that he himself could not stand steadily and had basically lost his ability to fight. He would probably die soon.

Sitting down with the help of the surface of the container, Hijikata Toshiro took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and lit it.

The area where Hijikata Toshiro had already hacked everyone to death was now surrounded by Ronin again. Kuraba Touma, the leader of the Ronin, and many Ronin armed with machine guns stood on the container right in front of Hijikata Toshiro, guarding against the Shinsengumi's vice-captain, who showed no expression even though he was facing a desperate situation.

"What a shame."

Looking at Hijikata Jushiro below, Kuraba Touma spoke proudly.

"Mitsuha will also feel sad, as her old friend is about to die."

"I originally wanted to get along with you. If I could get the Shinsengumi to back me up, I could trade freely."

"That's why I approached the team members' relatives and even went to their homes to propose marriage. I never expected that he would be such a sickly person."

"I originally thought that if I could control my sister, it would be easy to control Sougo-kun. However, the doctor said that she doesn't have much time left. I feel very sorry."

Hearing this, there was no other expression on Hijikata Toshiro's face, he just talked to himself calmly.

"From the very beginning, you were using her to win us over..."

"I love her deeply!"

Hearing Hijikata Jushiro's words, Kuraba Touma laughed out loud as if it was natural.

"Merchants all like things that can bring them profit. However, it was just a prop. I have already given that defective ordinary person happiness. She should be grateful to me."

After listening to the arrogant speech of the big businessman, Hijikata Toshiro took out a lighter from his arms, lit another cigarette, took a puff, and showed a sarcastic smile.

"...Humph, I have no right to blame you. I'm just like you, and I've done a lot of excessive things in the past."

"Look, in the end, I even had to chop off her husband before she died. I was really too extreme..."

"So, we are birds of a feather?"

Zang Chang Dang Ma spoke indifferently.

"To think that Vice-Captain Ghost would say something like that, it seems we have a lot in common."

"Oh, it's not a big deal actually."

While speaking calmly, Hijikata Toshiro stood up again with the help of his katana, swung the katana in his hand, and prepared to attack again.

"I just want the woman I love to be happy."

"I can't swing a sword in a place like this. I just hope she can have an ordinary family with an ordinary person, have ordinary children, and live an ordinary life."

"That's all."

"Oh, that's it."

There was a rare hint of anger in Zang Zhang Touma's tone.

"The samurai's thoughts are indeed not something that lowly people like us can easily guess. Well, there's nothing more to say. Get ready, fire..."

Mysterious Voice: "...I advise you not to say that last word aloud."

He raised his hand and patted Zangchang Touma's shoulder, and the young man with gray and white hair slowly walked out from behind Zangchang Touma.

Glancing nonchalantly at the startled Kurama, the young man with shaggy gray hair stated casually.

"Otherwise, it would be like this."

Before he finished speaking, Shang Yang had already raised his other hand, and his slender index finger and middle finger were combined into a sword finger, stabbing towards his side at a speed beyond human vision.

puff! ! !

The leader of the anti-barbarian ronin, who was originally standing next to Kurama Touma and subconsciously raised his samurai sword to chop at Shang Yang, was pierced in the chest by Shang Yang's sword finger without a trace of fireworks.

The leader of the anti-foreign ronin suddenly stopped his attack and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

"Uhhhhh!"

Volume 4: Edo Chronicles: Chapter 222: Reversal

This was not the end. After his slender index finger pierced the heart of the leader of the Ronin-slaying Warriors, the young man with gray hair directly pulled out his index and middle fingers from the chest of the leader of the Ronin-slaying Warriors, and took advantage of the momentum to strangle the leader of the Ronin-slaying Warriors with his backhand.

He lifted the leader of the anti-foreign ronin with one hand. His face turned pale instantly, and his eyeballs bulged out like a fish out of water. A large amount of blood from the ruptured heart artery gushed out from the wound.

Then, the young man with gray hair grabbed his throat, lifted the body of the Ronin leader up again, and gently squeezed it with his right hand.

...Clack.

The larynx and vertebrae in the neck and throat were instantly crushed by the terrifying force.

Almost at the same time, the radical anti-foreign ronin leader opened his eyes wide and breathed his last.

He casually threw the body of the leader of the anti-foreign ronin from the container and dropped it to the ground. Shang Yang glanced at the anti-foreign ronin who were scattered around the container with panic-stricken and terrified expressions, and casually put down his right hand.

Then, he still kept his left hand on the terrified Zang Changdang's shoulder and squeezed it gently.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"

The right shoulder bone of Zang Chang Dangma was instantly crushed into a pile of debris by Shang Yang. The pain of broken bones and dislocated nerves made this arms smuggler who had been living a life of luxury for many years have big beads of sweat on his forehead.

However, these sweat beads cannot be seen in this pouring rain.

After letting go of Zang Changdangma's right shoulder, Shang Yang's figure disappeared in an instant, and what followed was the sound of bones breaking and continuous screams coming from the surroundings.

Zang Chang Touma, who had just been released by Shang Yang and had no time to catch his breath, was grabbed by the throat again by Shang Yang in the next moment and lifted up like the leader of the anti-foreign ronin.

Desperately grabbing Shang Yang's wrist with both hands, Zang Chang Dang Ma's expression was filled with extreme pain, and there was also a hint of deep pleading in his eyes.

When his throat was grabbed, he saw that the dozens of anti-foreign ronin who were holding machine guns on the container had all fallen down, their necks twisted to varying degrees.

Just like the leader of the anti-foreign ronin just now, these crazy radical anti-foreign ronin were strangled to death by the terrifying young man in front of them, with their throats and cervical vertebrae crushed.

"You're shameless and have no bottom line in making money. The so-called scum among businessmen probably refers to you."

"Although I may be considered a businessman, I do not intend to cross the line as a human being and use innocent women as bargaining chips like you did."

Having said that, Shang Yang sighed, looked at the arms smuggler he had lifted up in the air, narrowed his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Your high talk about businessmen really makes me feel physically disgusted."

"In that case, I don't intend to be a businessman anymore. This identity is useless now, so I'd better give it up as soon as possible."

"However, since you consider me a qualified businessman, I will offer you another transaction and ask you to take your leave as a merchant by selling the 'goods' you have sold. This should be a very appropriate way for you to say goodbye, consistent with the ideals you advocate."

"Since Mr. Kuraba has chosen to become an arms smuggler, selling dangerous illegal weapons to radical anti-foreignation ronin to make a fortune, I will sell you and the radical anti-foreignation ronin to the Shinsengumi."

Having said that, Shang Yang shifted his gaze to Hijikata Jushiro who was standing in front of the container opposite, raised his voice, and asked loudly.

"Mr. Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, how about purchasing this 'goods'?"

"...Tsk, mind your own business."
