The Step-by-Step Battle: Killing Fūma Kotarō Solo, the Livestream Explodes! The Price of the Substitute Doll

One of the most renowned ninjas of the Warring States period, Fūma Kotarō.

If he had lived in that era, he would more accurately have been called the leader of the Fūma Band—a mercenary captain, in other words.

But now, no one cared about those details.

Uesugi Tetsu included.

This was not only because his reputation rivaled that of Hattori Hanzō, whom he had once met, but also because...

The label above his head was blood-red, representing an extremely high level of threat.

In the distance, the deputy instructor, whose expression had remained calm all this time, raised his brows slightly. After glancing back, he shifted his feet and stepped in front of Akiyama Kai.

—The latter had already begun gasping for breath after seeing Fūma Kotarō's true form.

"A Great Ninja... The Hōjō Clan was actually willing to openly release an existence like this?"

The deputy instructor looked toward Uesugi Tetsu. When he saw that his expression had likewise become solemn, he was instead less worried.

If Uesugi Tetsu had remained careless and underestimated his opponent, then he would have been worried about the outcome of this battle.

As things stood, it seemed he had underestimated this young man.

In the stands, Tamamo poked her little head out from behind the screen of her phone. Her arm had gone numb from holding it up, and she muttered with some confusion, "Who's this guy wrapped head to toe in black cloth? Is he a ninja...?"

The livestream, which already had hundreds of viewers from all over the world waiting in it, voiced the same question.

—After all, among those familiar with Warring States history, only a minority knew of anyone besides the four clans of Oda, Toyotomi, Tokugawa, and Imagawa.

Let alone some mere ninja.

How many people would remember
