4. Auza and Ninja Organization Meeting

The meeting was attended by Joseph, Master Yamaji, Dilly, Big D, Aska, and Lil.

Auza and the Ninja Organization held a conference. Joseph emphasized that, as a businessman, he was not interested in battles or victories but in collecting data. He expressed admiration for Higan’s prowess in single-handedly defeating a squad of Ninjas—an elite force capable of overpowering an entire military platoon. Joseph speculated that Higan would eventually make his way to Auza City. However, Aska assured him that Higan would be unable to breach Auza City’s security system.

Master Yamaji then used his Shadow Manipulation Jutsu to strangle Lil, who had been boasting excessively during the meeting. Yamaji asserted that Higan should not be underestimated and that their primary focus should be uncovering Higan’s secret Jutsu. He deemed Higan’s FBI ally insignificant and stated that he could easily handle him. Yamaji urged his colleagues not to complicate matters or create unnecessary problems. Joseph agreed with Yamaji’s assessment.

After the meeting concluded, Joseph confided in Dilly that he was thrilled to test the strength of Ninjas to gather data for Auza’s prototype weapons. Meanwhile, Zai approached Master Yamaji and offered to eliminate Higan if given the task. However, Yamaji prohibited Zai from confronting Higan, explaining that someone else had already been assigned to uncover Higan’s secret Jutsu. Master Yamaji assured Zai that they both did not need to get involved until the task was completed.

5. A Past as Ninjas

As Higan rode his motorcycle along the road, memories of his past as a Ninja resurfaced. At the time, Higan, Zai, and Mari were part of a team tasked with eliminating mafia bodyguards. They eventually executed the Mafia Boss, who was lounging among several women. The team successfully completed their mission of recovering classified state documents stored by the Mafia Boss.

In recognition of their achievements, the Ninja Elders bestowed names upon Higan, Mari, and Zai, who had previously operated anonymously. The elders also entrusted each of them with a unique secret Jutsu, which was forbidden to be disclosed to anyone. The elders reminded them that their missions would only grow more perilous but expressed their confidence in the trio’s abilities, believing they were destined to become future leaders of the organization.

Higan, Mari, and Zai gathered in a room to discuss their new names. Zai brought sake so they could savor their moment of joy. Higan warned Zai not to recklessly disclose their secret Jutsus while intoxicated. Zai reassured them, stating he would never do so, as there might come a day when he would have to face Higan in battle. While pouring the sake, Zai declared that their bond was thicker than blood and that sharing a drink was a symbol of their pact to risk their lives for their missions. The three then raised their cups and drank together.

Higan, Mari, and Zai embarked on another mission to infiltrate their target’s residence. They successfully eliminated several bodyguards and their boss. However, Mari hesitated to attack the boss’s wife and child, who were hiding in a closet. As a result, Mari was shot by the boss’s wife. Higan retaliated by killing the wife and escaped with Mari into a forest to treat her injuries.

Feeling ashamed and not wanting to burden Higan or jeopardize the mission, Mari attempted to end her own life. Higan managed to stop her and confessed his love for her. They shared an intimate moment. However, Zai caught them embracing.

6. Guide to Infiltrating Auza City

A mysterious figure called Higan to explain the security system mechanisms of Auza City. The advanced AI technology scans everyone entering the city. If someone is unauthorized, they will be detected immediately. The airspace is also tightly secured with an electromagnetic shield that only wind and rain can penetrate.

Therefore, Higan must enter the city through the underground tunnels and infiltrate cautiously. He must avoid surveillance cameras, laser traps, and military troops. The mysterious figure will then open the laser gate so Higan can enter Auza City.
