309 Journey to the East: Twelve Lessons for Ninjas

He didn't know how long he had been trapped in the mysterious sea, but he was in a great mood after being reborn. At the same time, he began to have second thoughts about his original plan.

I originally thought that with my cultivation level and the system's incredible power, I would definitely achieve something on this trip to Japan: teach the ninjas a lesson, deal with the Emperor, and see which cultivation sects there were in Japan, so that I could crush them all and wipe them out.

Then we could have a proper tour, what a pleasant journey! But all of this was ruined by the system's severe damage and hibernation.

As the saying goes, the older one gets in the martial arts world, the more timid one becomes. This time, through his adventure in the mysterious sea, Shangguan Yun realized that he couldn't be too blindly arrogant. Who knows which burrow might be hiding great danger, or what kind of hidden tricks each sect might have up its sleeve?

Therefore, Shangguan Yun decided that this trip to Japan should be carried out discreetly, with a secret infiltration, and if things became unsuccessful, they should make a hasty escape.

However, if possible, he still wants to teach those ninjas a lesson first. Recently, the ninjas have been the biggest trouble for him. They have carried out several assassination attempts, and there are also many ninjas in the Special Higher Police's intelligence department.

With this in mind, Shangguan Yun quickened his pace and headed straight for the Japanese archipelago.

However, as dusk approached, Shangguan Yun finally reached the location of Kyushu Island. Although riding the paper crane at night was not a problem for Shangguan Yun, he still did not like traveling at night.

Otherwise, he could find a place to rest first, and then it wouldn't matter if he continued on his journey tomorrow, Shangguan Yun thought to himself.

Mount Aso, located in the northeastern part of Kyushu Island, within Kumamoto Prefecture, is a blue-green, majestic, and towering volcano covering an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers. It is a frequently erupting, compound active volcano.

The towering column of volcanic ash in the distance also caught Shangguan Yun's attention.

In the northeastern part of Oita, at a dock where many fishing boats were moored, Shangguan Yun stepped ashore from a deserted spot. As the day grew hot and evening approached, people should have already closed their doors and windows, but here it was a bustling and lively scene.

The dock was brightly lit, and many people carrying large and small bags, with heavy steps and reluctant expressions, boarded fishing boats of various sizes under the organization of some police officers.

In order not to attract the attention of the locals, Shangguan Yun put on the samurai outfit he had worn in Ryukyu.

"Kula...you guys don't crowd, let the women and children get on the boat first...keep up, keep up...hurry up...don't bring too much stuff...this boat is full, get on and off in another boat..."

Several police officers meticulously directed the people who had fled their homes for refuge.

Watching the slowly moving crowd, Shangguan Yun didn't care where they were going. The centuries-old hatred between the Japanese and the Chinese made him feel a sense of schadenfreude.

With a mocking smile on his lips, Shangguan Yun walked towards the island, and through what he saw and heard along the way, he basically understood the origin of all this.

In recent years, Mount Aso has been very turbulent, especially a few days ago when it inexplicably erupted again, and on a large scale.

The surging lava and volcanic ash not only flooded vast areas of farmland and houses, but also caused numerous casualties.

As a result, many people in the northwestern coastal areas are now choosing to leave by boat. Kyushu Island is not large, so most people choose to go to Honshu, where the land area is much larger and should not be affected.

As Shangguan Yun walked, he couldn't help but think about the dangers he had experienced in the past two days. Occasionally, a bitter smile would appear on his face. He twisted his slightly sore neck and continued walking in the opposite direction from the crowd.

The volcanic eruption had little effect on him, and the night view in Japan was still beautiful. A gentle sea breeze blew by. Looking at the Japanese people whose families had been destroyed, a cold glint flashed in Shangguan Yun's heart, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred.

A nation or a people, once it chooses the path of war, whether by choice or by force, must take responsibility for its choice.

There are no innocent civilians in war; everything serves the war effort. An unarmed civilian can take up arms and become a soldier at any time. This principle applies equally to both sides in a war.

War is cruel; it's either you die or I die. The losing side always suffers endless misery. Both sides sometimes use various means to weaken the enemy's fighting strength and potential.

Invaders who use the guise of protecting civilians to burn, kill, and plunder are far more shameless than bloodthirsty and ruthless enemies. In this respect, Shangguan Yun actually admires the Japanese. At least they are not so hypocritical. An invader is an invader, and there is no one they cannot kill.

Similarly, Shangguan Yun also gloated over the suffering of the people of Dongying, wishing they would all die at once, so that Dongying would lose its war potential and there would be no need to fight.

However, that's impossible. If it weren't for the fear of the backlash from Heaven, Shangguan Yun sometimes had the urge to rush into Japan and carry out a massacre.

Calming down, Shangguan Yun frowned deeply, wondering what was wrong with him lately. He felt his personality was becoming somewhat extreme, increasingly bloodthirsty and murderous.

He shook his head, when a heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out in the night wind.

"Ah...don't kill me...please...ah...puh...my child...spare her...please...please..."
