The haori that Ogata was wearing at this moment was the haori that Omachi had bought for him before and was embroidered with the Ogata family crest.

From last night to now, although I haven't had time to take a shower, I still have time to change into new clothes.

When Master Sengen shouted "Stop this man" to the four Iga ninjas disguised as monks beside him, Ogata pulled out the Daishiten from his waist almost at the same moment.

Da Shitian stabbed forward, and then stabbed one of the four ninjas who rushed towards him away. The ninja who was stabbed away was like a cannonball, flying past the escaping Master Xianyuan.

It passed by and then hit a certain pillar of the house hard, shaking off a lot of dust on the beams.

After stabbing the ninja away, Ogata turned the blade and drew an arc to the right, cutting down the other ninja. Then he drew a half arc to the left, killing the remaining ninja.

The other two people also turned into corpses lying on the ground motionless.

The two sweeping monks were so frightened by the changes that happened in front of them that they collapsed on the ground and even forgot to scream.

Ogata, who quickly eliminated the four ninjas, quickly raised his head to look for Master Sengen...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Although Master Xianyuan is old, his running speed is not slow at all. After getting rid of the generous cassock that hindered his movement, he has turned around and entered the corner of a certain corridor.

As he ran away, he shouted "enemy attack" again and again.

For someone like Master Sengen who was obviously a high-ranking member of the Toyotomi Army, Ogata naturally had no reason to let him go.

Ogata was seen vibrating the sword, shaking off the blood attached to the blade of Da Shitian, and chasing Master Xianyuan in the direction he left just now.

The body has been strengthened by the "power of immortality", so how fast is it?

In just a blink of an eye, Master Sengen's figure reappeared within Ogata's field of vision, and he was pulled closer by Ogata at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Master Xianyuan looked back hastily.

Looking at Ogata's face getting closer and closer, Master Xianyuan not only had the blood on his cheeks dissipated, but also the blood on his lips disappeared.

Just when Master Xianyuan was about to despair, a series of sounds sounded like sounds of nature to him.

Whizzing!

Bursts of sharp breaking wind sound hit Ogata.

Ogata's eyes twitched slightly, he quickly stopped his steps, and at the same time, he jumped slightly to the side.

The moment he ducked to the side, he saw shurikens flying past his side.

Looking in the direction from which the shurikens just flew, two "monks" with bare heads and shurikens between each finger of their hands were seen squatting on the beam not far away.

Blah blah blah...

At the same time, Ogata heard dense footsteps coming from the corridor ahead on the left.

Seven "monks" who looked like Buddhist disciples, but were holding wakizashi, shuriken and other weapons that had nothing to do with Buddhism appeared from the corridor to the left of Ogata.

Looking at the ninjas who came for reinforcements after hearing the "enemy attack" he just said, Master Xianyuan was overjoyed, gritted his teeth, accelerated his pace slightly, and faced the ninjas who came for reinforcements.

Ordered:

"Stop this guy! Stop this guy at all costs!"

The ninjas who came for reinforcements came towards Ogata in a formation that semi-surrounded him.

"There shouldn't be many normal monks here in Xianyuan Temple..."

After complaining like this in a low voice, Ogata quietly held the knife in front of him.

"Everyone, please let your horses come over."

…

…

Among all the people, the first person to recover from the panic was Toyotomi Nobuhide.

He regained his calm demeanor and asked the ninja who came to report the news calmly:

"...Where is Ogata Ittousai currently?"

The ninja swallowed hard, moistened his dry throat, and quickly conveyed all the information he knew so far to Toyotomi Nobuhide.

"Ogata is currently at Sengenji Temple!"

"Just now, he suddenly appeared in Xianyuan Temple! The guards of Xianyuan Temple are now fighting Ogata! The battle situation... is quite urgent! We can't stop him!"

"Besides Ogata Ittosai, have you met anyone else?" Toyotomi Nobuhide asked, "Have you met an elderly man?"

"No! Only Ogata has been found so far!"

"..." Toyotomi Nobuhide fell silent.

He lowered his head slightly, placed his right hand naturally on his right knee, and kept raising and lowering his index finger, tapping his knee rhythmically.

"Sir!" A strong man with an anxious face shouted hurriedly, "We must send additional reinforcements to Xianyuan Temple as soon as possible! It is impossible to attack the few ninjas currently lurking in Xianyuan Temple.

Can't beat that Shura!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, he received Toyotomi Nobuhide's "big reward" and a cold gaze as cold as a knife.

"Mutaro, calm down."

"Stop messing around."

"Let me ask you, since Ogata Ittousai is at Sengenji Temple now, where are my uncle and the others now?"

The cadre who just threatened to immediately send reinforcements to Xianyuan Temple was stunned and speechless, and he looked at each other in confusion with the people around him.

"It's impossible for Ogata to come to Mount Koya alone." Toyotomi Nobuhide said with certainty, "Uncle and the others... must be somewhere in Mount Koya now..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his right index finger again and let it tap his knee rhythmically.

After Toyotomi Nobuhide looked thoughtful for a long time, everyone finally heard his voice again.

Toyotomi Nobuhide's voice this time was an order spoken in an unquestionable tone.

"...Yoshihisa, Takaharu." Toyotomi Nobuhide turned to look at Yoshihisa beside him and a strong man not far in front of him, "You two should immediately lead people to get everyone in the cell to me.

Ship it to Rihui Wan and Hulu Wan."

"Jijiu, it is up to you to take my sister away personally. Make no mistake."

"If the situation requires it, Mr. Hasegawa and the others don't have to take her away, but my sister must be taken away no matter what."

"Without my sister, 'Edo Battle' would not be perfect."

"The rest will follow my orders." Toyotomi Nobuhide looked at the rest of the people at the scene, "We are now withdrawing from Mount Koya in an orderly manner, heading to the coast, boarding the Nikki Maru and Gyoshi Maru, and heading north to Edo."

As soon as Toyotomi Nobuhide said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Toyotomi-sama! Do we want to evacuate Mount Koya now? What should Ogata Ittosai do? Just ignore him?" The strong man who just threatened to immediately support Sengenji's eyes widened.

"Yes. Just ignore him first." Toyotomi Nobuhide said calmly, "The musketeers who participated in the Battle of Osaka last night have not returned yet."

"Currently, only some Iga ninjas and a very small number of musketeers are left behind in Mount Koya."

"With this small force, even if I were to personally lead the team, even if we succeeded in defeating Ogata Ittousai and my uncle, it would definitely be a tragic victory."

"Have I just said it? I hate victories with heavy casualties. I only like complete victories."

"Let's stay away for now. When the conditions are mature, we can slowly deal with that Shura and my uncle."

"and……"

Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes narrowed slightly.

"If my judgment is correct... our best strategy now is to leave Mount Koya as soon as possible."

"If we use all our strength to counterattack Ogata Ittousai now, then we may be fooled by them."

"The sudden appearance of Ogata Ittousai in Sengenji Temple is probably just a bait to tempt us to bite."

"Fooled?" Someone tilted his head and asked doubtfully.

"Why do you only see Ogata Ittosai but not my uncle?" Toyotomi Nobuhide asked everyone in a somewhat impatient tone, "We are pressed for time now, and I don't have time to explain it to you slowly here. I will leave later.

It’s Mount Koya, I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

"Then..." Another person asked quickly, "What should we do with the supplies we currently store in Mount Koya?"

"Yes." Another cadre agreed, "What should we do with the huge amount of materials we currently store in Mount Koya? Are we going to do away with them all?"

"That's right." Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded, "I don't want any of them."

"Those supplies are not things that can never be discarded."

"If we have to take them all away, it will take too much time."

"Just take away the people who are currently in the cells."

"...Toyotomi-sama." Another person asked Toyotomi Nobuhide a question.

The person who raised the question this time was the Hannya who had just been rewarded with a precious sword by Toyotomi Nobuhide.

"If we want to leave Mount Koya now... we must send someone to hold back Ogata's momentum and buy time for us to evacuate."

"Otherwise, if Ogata is allowed to act recklessly, it will be impossible for us to leave Mount Koya."
