Working together, Gui and Kondo didn't take much time to kill all the more than thirty Narakus.
Looking at the crow corpses on the ground in front of him, Kondo shook the blood off his sword and asked at the same time: "Is this all?"
"No..." Gui shook his head, "The opponent is Naraku after all. Our position should have been exposed when we were discovered. It can't end like this without sending reinforcements."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Tu heard the crows of several crows above his head. He looked up and saw only the tail wings of the crows that had just passed overhead.
"Don't tell me...!" Gui noticed something, turned around and started running, "Kondo! Hurry up!"
"What's going on?" Kondo asked as he followed.
Gui said with a solemn expression: "We are the ones who are being restrained! It is impossible for reinforcements to come! Most of the enemy is already... directly above Gintoki and the others!"
"So, uncle, he is also in danger!" Kondo looked solemn.
At this time, Gui suddenly saw Sasaki not far away to one side, holding a pistol calmly and aiming at himself and Kondo. Gui didn't have time to think too much and stretched out his hand to push Kondo!
boom! !
Gui's left abdomen was instantly stained red with blood!
"Gui!" After Kondo shouted, he hurriedly leaned down to check Gui's situation, but the sound of gunshots that followed did not give him this opportunity.
Kondo, who had no time to think about it, lowered his head to help Gui and walked deep into the forest. He found a big tree and hid behind it.
"Hey! Gui! Cheer up! Gui!"
"Don't yell..." Gui, who was holding the wound, raised his head, "It's just an extra belly button. It seems we can't care about others now. This is a terrible time."
At this time, Kondo, who turned around and looked through the tree trunks, discovered that Sasaki was slowly walking towards him with a group of members of the Kaikai team...
…
On the other side, Gintoki, Fourteen and others who were still climbing on the cliff were also attacked by arrows from the crows above the cliff.
All the people had no choice but to hide and climb up.
"Don't panic! Use the cliff as a shield! Cover yourself!" Fourteen shouted, while the sword in his right hand continued to resist the arrows shot from above.
Kagura, who held the umbrella to the limit of endurance, gritted his teeth and began to climb up at high speed, "These despicable people are here to play dirty tricks! Everyone, follow me!"
But just after he finished speaking, a rock that Kagura grabbed was destroyed by an arrow shot from above. Kagura, who was the only one to grab this object, was stunned for a moment and then fell down...
"Kagura-chan!!" Shinpachi shouted loudly.
But at this moment, a hand tightly held the falling Kagura.
Seeing Sougo holding the sword in front of him, one hand clawing at the rock wall and the other hand grabbing himself, Kagura looked in disbelief.
But at this moment, the crows lined up on the cliff began to draw their bows.
"The second wave is coming! Kagura!" Gintoki reminded loudly.
"Sougo!" Fourteen also shouted.
"Let go... let go quickly!" Kagura shouted to Sougo.
Just as the Narakus were preparing to shoot arrows again, they suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from the ground behind them, and it was getting closer and closer.
The Naraku people who were startled by the noise turned around and became alert. The buzzing sound was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, the ground seemed to begin to shake. All the Naraku people were ready.
boom! !
A big hole appeared in the ground, and a passage was drilled out by the drill bit in Elizabeth's mouth!
Saito, who was hiding behind Elizabeth, rushed in front of all the Narakus in an instant and killed several Narakus in an instant. At the same time, inside the cave, the anti-barbarian patriots and members of the True Selection Team climbed up one after another. The crows rushed towards the crowd, and the battle began!
Standing high up, Hagi looked at Gintoki and others who were climbing up in the chaos below, and said to himself lightly: "Oh, they are just bait to attract our attention and firepower. I didn't expect to take the opportunity to dig in the back." Let’s launch a raid through the tunnel.”
As he said that, he looked at the crow sitting on the back of his hand and said, "It seems they have better spies than you. Giving up the crow... seems to be a very necessary thing. The hawk... will do more than you." Okay."
At this time, Yamazaki climbed out of the cave entrance, lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked at the crows in the sky and said: "As a senior spy, let me give you a suggestion. Just fly in the sky like you and only look down. It’s not enough to just look at the top. Paying attention to both the top and the bottom at the same time is the iron rule of supervision. Crow-san.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamazaki was finally used as a stepping stone by Elizabeth and Saito.
…
Looking at Gintoki and the others who were fighting with the crows below, Hazi, who was standing high up, said to himself lightly: "It's quite capable to get to this point, but..."
At this time, Gintoki suddenly discovered something. After killing a crow, he quickly jumped aside and blocked a flying arrow with a wooden knife.
This wave of arrows shot straight from above injured many people.
"That's it," Hao said calmly to the people below who had stopped fighting because of a wave of arrows. "Even if you stand on the top of the cliff, you are still far away from the sky. Going forward, there is only Yatagarasu. The road to hell can only be reached by leading the way. If you want to move forward, abandon your dirty bodies, and your souls can still go to hell with the crows... "
"It's you!" Gintoki stared at Yuki above his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"ShiroYasha, do you want to leave this life that your teacher saved for you here?" Hazuru looked at Gintoki below calmly, "You want to use this life that you exchanged for your teacher's life in this kind of situation?" Is there nothing worth protecting at all?”
"Shut up…"
"Songyang would definitely be sad if he knew about it."
"Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up?!"
"Gin-san..." Shinpachi noticed something was wrong with Gintoki and shouted quickly.
"Forget it, then I will send you to Songyang, together with them..."
Seeing Gintoki clenching his fists and staring at him, Kagura hurriedly pulled Gintoki's sleeve: "Calm down! Gin-chan!"
Gintoki, who forced himself to calm down, raised his head and asked, "Why...are you still alive? He...he won't let you survive."
Gintoki remembered that time (at the end of the Alluring Chapter), when he looked in from outside the gate of Edo Castle, and he clearly saw Hagi's body at that time.
"As long as there is carrion, the crow will not die so easily. That beast killed me twice, but I was still alive because carrion... is everywhere."
"Hmph! You're really lucky!" Gintoki spat, and then tightened his grip on the wooden sword in his hand, "Then, if you can't do more than three things, leave your final answer to me!"
As he said that, Gintoki glanced at Fourteen who was standing aside, "Let's go quickly. It's not the police's job to clean up the crow's droppings. Go clean up the orangutan's droppings quickly. This person... is my guest!"
Sougo stood up at this time and looked up at another wave of enemies above - a group of Kaisui team members headed by Nobune.
Sougo looked at Nobume and said calmly: "Then boss, you will be in charge of that side, and leave this to me."
"Sougo..."
"Actually, I wanted to go with you, but unfortunately, Kondo-san still has a mission for me." Sougo interrupted Shizuo who was about to say something, "I am Okita, the captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Team. Sougo. Your mission is to lead the charge and fight a bloody path. And you are, Hijikata Jiro, the deputy commander of the Shinsengumi Oni. Your mission is to keep moving forward without looking back. Hijikata-san... no, deputy commander, director. It’s up to you.”
Fourteen, who was protected by everyone and opened a straight passage, said calmly: "Listen to me, I will add the last one to the rules of the true selection group, even if it means violating the four rules that you have risked your lives to abide by so far. Even if you have sixteen laws, you must still let me live!!"
Just like a signal, the battle begins!
Everyone rushed towards the enemy, just to clear a bloody path for Fourteen and the others.
…
On the other side, in the forest, Sasaki was leading a group of members of the Kaihui team to search slowly. After sending a text message to Nobuame that "an orangutan was found in the forest", he waited for several minutes but still didn't get it. reply.
"If you don't reply to the message, do you just take one look at it as usual? I guess Miss Nobunaga is also in trouble..." After muttering to himself, Sasaki put away his mobile phone and looked up in front of him. forest, and continued calmly: "That's it, Mr. Kondo, unfortunately, we have deployed manpower all over the island. You have no way to escape. They came here to save you, so how about saving them?" It's very simple, as long as you die. Just help us end this farce. Okay, come out quickly."
After listening to Sasaki's words, Gui, who was hiding behind a tree, gritted his teeth and insisted: "Kondo, I'm going to attract their attention, and you take the opportunity to run away. I'm here to save you, but I can't hold you back." My legs will cause you to be buried with me."
"Really?" As he spoke, Kondo helped Gui up, who had lost a lot of blood. "Then it's even now. You were the one who protected me just now, and now it's you who are holding me back."
"Kondo...you..."
Kondo looked forward and said slowly: "I was about to be executed. I thought that if my death could protect my comrades, I would have no regrets. But you saved me and gave me a lot of desires. . I want to see them again, and I have made a friend who I want to have another drink with. Gui, I don’t want to die yet, and I don’t want you to die, so I beg you again..."
With that said, Kondo looked at Gui, "Please help me again, Gui, in order to be able to see them alive. As long as you don't die, as long as I don't die, we won't die!"
While saying this, Kondo and Katsura swung their swords at the same time to kill two Mikai team members who came from the grass on both sides.
"Never let go."
Looking at Kondo's serious look, Gui didn't answer, but the equally serious look ahead said everything.
Sasaki, who raised his gun and led a group of soldiers to surround the two, sighed in his heart.
Nothing has changed, nothing has changed about that man.
Sasaki's thoughts were pulled back a long time ago. After his proposal to "establish a rogue group" was adopted, he met Kondo for the first time who came to Edo with a group of people due to a recruitment order.
At that time, even if the Ronin who gathered because of the recruitment order were ordered to discuss and decide on the team structure, it was of no use at all. The Ronin refused to obey anyone, and they only fought each other every day.
Not to mention the purpose of its establishment - to punish the foreigners, even the most basic internal discipline cannot be maintained.
Of course, there were also Kondo and others who did not participate in the fight. They just stayed in the corner quietly and waved the wooden swords in their hands again and again.
His wooden sword and perseverance finally influenced the ronai who had no discipline at all...
Kondo, who had already become the leader, stood in front of the rogues and said, "That's good. Samurai don't have only one way of living. Confused, troubled, and relentlessly pursuing their own way of living. This attitude is what a samurai is! So, don't bother to pursue it. , struggle and work hard! Choose the path you really want to take and move forward through all obstacles!"
It seemed that he was thinking too much. When Sasaki came back to his senses, he found that the battle was over.
Matsudaira, who was covered in blood, was brought back by several team members. In front of his gun was Kondo, who was squatting on the ground with his back on his back, panting and covered in blood, but his eyes had not changed at all from that time.
"...Yes, our names are..." Kondo turned around and looked straight at Sasaki.
Boom! ! !
Dozens of members of the Kaihui team in the distance were taken to the sky. The next moment, Fourteen, who was leaping high with his sword in hand, looked at Sasaki below and took over what Kondo had just said.
“…What a great team choice!!!”
Sasaki pulled out his sword and blocked Fourteen's blow with gritted teeth. The pistol in his other hand was knocked away by a flying knife just as he was pointing at Fourteen and ready to shoot.
It's Saito Suzu who came with Fourteen!
Looking at the two sides fighting, Sasaki was slightly surprised.
At this time, Lord Matsudaira, who was lying on the ground dying, slowly stood up, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Sasaki, you are almost done, but don't underestimate the criminal's bad guy style."
Sasaki, who was resisting Fourteen's attack, was a little surprised when he saw the several "returning team members" who were originally escorting Lord Matsudaira but turned around and rushed toward him.
Fourteen Thorns came forward and spoke at the same time: "Sir, you should not be in charge of an organization that is not suitable for you. You can't even remember the faces of your subordinates, and you are not worthy of guarding those bad boys."
Only then did Sasaki realize that...those people were the replaced members of the Shinsengumi! Just like that time!
Fourteen, who was forced back by Sasaki, came behind Kondo and protected Kondo firmly behind him: "Bring our general... back."
At the same time, the rest of the Shinsengumi team members also gathered around, tightly surrounding Kondo and Fourteen. Elizabeth had also found the injured Gui and helped him up.
"Fourteen..." Kondo said.
"I kept you waiting, Kondo-san."
"No," Kondo showed a bit of unbearability, "It's all my fault. It's my fault for not living up to expectations."
"We are just like you. We were confused, confused, and confused. In the end, we came back here."
"That's it..." As he spoke, Kondo picked up the sword on the ground and stood up slowly, looking at the enemies who were several times the size of his own. "But it seems that the real road is still far away!"
"Yes, but I understand one thing. Whether it is the path that I really want to take or the path that makes people hesitate, as long as we can walk side by side with you, it doesn't matter where we go! Kondo-san, this is our choice path of."
Looking at the serious expression on Fourteen's face, Kondo looked at the other team members who were looking at the enemy with the same serious expression.
"Then go forward with me. Even if the road ahead is hell, I will never let go. Live and die with me! Shinsengumi-"
With that said, Kondo took the lead and charged towards the enemy.
Fourteen, who faced Sasaki again, said with a ferocious expression: "Get out of the way! Sasaki!"
"If you want to continue to dream, then continue to be stubborn. Even if you do not hesitate to trample on other people's dreams..."
Just as the battle here was getting more and more intense, Sougo, who was fighting Nobunaga on the other side, and Gintoki, who was fighting Odori, received an incredible piece of news from Nobunaga.
That is - the Roshi Group, the predecessor of the Shinsengumi, was once saved by Sasaki's design!
Then... his real purpose was to change this era and let the people gathered to overthrow the shogunate, so he asked Gintoki and others to start a rebellion. He wanted to end this era with his own hands.
"...That man is just like you," Hajime, standing in front of Gintoki, continued, "he is just a man who plots chaos."
At this time, Gincai discovered that there were already several spaceships approaching from the sky! Moreover, without any explanation, it began to bombard the bottom!
"So I said, this is hell."
"Tch!" Gintoki spat.
Soon, a Tiandao people's spaceship landed, and countless crows walked towards it. As soon as they landed, they rushed towards all the "rebels" on the island.
"... Destroy everything and strip away all power." Nobuome said as she rushed towards Sougo.
Sougo, who was resisting Nobunaga's sword, asked: "Are you going to silently watch your general and this country perish together?"
"Because this is my mission."
As she spoke, Nobuame thought of the mission she had failed in - to assassinate Sasaki Isaburo. She chose to "fight" herself because she heard someone's words...
