"Hehe, anyway, the Bronze Scroll is of no use to the Tang Family, unlike this flower base. In the end, it's us sisters who benefit, and it even made you offend that Japanese woman. Come on, let's go back. My sister and I will treat you and Meiqing to dinner."
Tang Huanhuan giggled and said.
"Just in time, I'm getting a bit hungry."
Qin Yang smiled and said. These two sisters indeed have pleasant personalities.
At the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel, the two sisters of the Tang Family ordered a full table of dishes. After the meal, Qin Yang stayed at the hotel, while Long Meiqing went back to pack her things, both preparing to return to Yunshui City the next day.
Night fell, and a crescent moon moved into the night sky.
In a single villa located on the outskirts of the Capital City, the structure inside the villa was entirely Japanese style, with a wooden grand hall and screen partition, and a wooden dining table.
At this moment, some exquisite Japanese dishes were placed on the table, and three figures were kneeling at the dining table. However, none of their gazes were on the food.
Among the three, two of them were Asakawa Kaori and Kikuchi Yumi. The other person, also a woman, was named Suzuki Baihui, older than Kikuchi Yumi, with sharp eyes and short hair, looking neat and tidy.
"That damn Chinese pig dared hit me!"
Asakawa Kaori's face was icy, touching her fair and delicate cheek. The five red marks had been treated with ointment, and there was no sign of a slap.
"Miss Kaori, that Chinese person is not simple."
Kikuchi Yumi said with a serious expression.
"Kikuchi Jonin, you just said that Chinese boy didn't use any complex Seal Technique and was able to conjure a Fire Dragon and over a hundred Ice Cones?"
Suzuki Baihui looked at Kikuchi Yumi with a very serious expression on her face.
"Yes, Senior Suzuki, that Chinese boy used a very simple Spell Seal to conjure the Fire Dragon and Ice Cones, easily defeating my Ninja Technique."
Kikuchi Yumi nodded, looking respectfully at Suzuki Baihui.
In the hierarchy of Japanese Ninja, ranked from low to high, are Lower Ninja, Middle Ninja, Upper Ninja, Human-level Ninja, Earth-level Ninja, and Celestial Ninja. The hierarchy is strict; lower-level ninjas must show respect to higher-level ones. Suzuki Baihui in front of them is a powerful Human-level Ninja.
If Upper Ninja level ninjas are the mid-upper strength of the Asakawa Clan, then the Human-level experts are the top-tier force. Their strength is comparable to Huaxia's Celestial Tier experts.
"Senior Suzuki, I want that Chinese person dead!"
Asakawa Kaori gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness. Even her grandfather, Asakawa Kenji, who was a legendary figure in Japan, never hit her, yet a Chinese dared to. With her pride, how could she accept that?
"Miss Kaori, this matter seems to have another mystery, perhaps this is a great rise opportunity for the Asakawa Clan."
Suzuki Baihui's eyes shone with brilliance.
"What do you mean?"
Asakawa Kaori was startled, looking at Suzuki Baihui.
"Senior Suzuki, are you saying that the boy could be..."
Kikuchi Yumi's eyes flashed, as if thinking of something.
"Correct, that boy is very likely a descendant of Huaxia's Yin Yang Family!"
Suzuki Baihui nodded, sharp eyes flickering with light.
"Huaxia's Yin Yang Family?"
Asakawa Kaori and Kikuchi Yumi exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming more serious.
"Miss, although I don't want to admit it, you should be aware that my Great Japanese Empire's ninja art is not of our own creation. It was passed down from Huaxia's Yin Yang Family's Five Elements Skill in Ancient China."
Suzuki Baihui said solemnly.
Asakawa Kaori gritted her teeth, her face slightly unpleasant as she nodded. She had heard about this from her grandfather, Asakawa Kenji. The ninja art she always took pride in was actually passed down from the lowly Chinese. This made her feel uncomfortable, but it seemed to be an unchangeable fact.
"Though our Japanese ninja art originates from Huaxia's Yin Yang Family, through the explorations and creations of past sages and predecessors among Japanese ninja, we've created lots of new Ninja Arts and have become very powerful, such as you, Senior Suzuki, who can assassinate Huaxia Celestial Tier experts."
"Those Chinese people are shallow in knowledge, not understanding the inheritance and development of their national cultural heritage. Like mentioning Go, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement—who in the world remembers that these all originate from China? They only remember these are our Great Japan's Go, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement!"
Asakawa Kaori's voice carried an inborn pride and confidence. The Yamato Race of the Great Japanese Empire is the most skilled in learning. The Chinese people don't treasure their own inheritance, and sooner or later those precious things will become owned by the Yamato Race.
"Kaori believes the same of Ninja Art; through our Yamato Race's inheritance and development, it has already surpassed Huaxia's Yin Yang Family."
Asakawa Kaori's voice was proud and assured.
"No, Miss, you're mistaken."
Upon hearing this, Suzuki Baihui slowly shook her head, her gaze becoming more serious.
"Hmm? Senior Suzuki, where did Kaori go wrong?"
Asakawa Kaori was taken aback, her gaze turning to Suzuki Baihui.
"Miss, Go, tea ceremony, and flower skills, as you said, the Chinese people are unambitious and don't understand their national heritage, so these have been carried forward by our Yamato Race. But ninja art is different."
Suzuki Baihui stared directly at Asakawa Kaori, her expression solemn.
"Our Japanese ninja art originates from Huaxia's Yin Yang Family's Five Elements Skill. The Five Elements are: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The Huaxia Yin Yang Family believed these five elements constitute the world's essence, so when their Yin Yang Art spread to our country, the predecessors established five kinds of ninja: Gold Ninja, Wood Ninja, Water Ninja, Fire Ninja, Earth Ninja."
"Later, through the development of the Iga and Koga schools, we also have Thunder Ninja, Wind Ninja, Medical Ninja, and so on. Finally, through continuous learning and creation by various predecessors, we incorporated some Huaxia Daoist Curse Arts, Sealing Skills, and Esoteric Divination Skill, thus forming today's Japanese Ninja Art of the Great Japanese Empire."
Suzuki Baihui explained.
"Senior Suzuki, Kaori knows this. Our Yamato Race is indeed adept at learning and creating, and our Ninja Art is vast and profound."
Asakawa Kaori nodded in acknowledgment.
"Miss, what you don't know is, our Ninja Art is actually only..."
Suzuki Baihui paused, gritted her teeth, her face somewhat awkward.
"Senior Suzuki, only what?"
Asakawa Kaori looked towards Suzuki Baihui.
"Only the superficial aspects of Huaxia's Yin Yang Family."
Suzuki Baihui glanced at Asakawa Kaori and Kikuchi Yumi, taking a deep breath, speaking in a low voice.
