She serves only the current monarch of the Sakura Kingdom and does not obey anyone's orders.
They are silent and omnipresent, like a person's shadow, appearing suddenly from some corner and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Such assassins are one in a million!
It can be said that only one such person can be encountered every few years, standing out from the crowd, standing atop the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, sitting on a throne piled with bones, and becoming a god-like existence among the death warriors.
It is divided into the upper and lower quarters.
They are all like dragons, appearing only briefly and never quite.
Many of the young assassins, despite having lived under the system of the Sakura Kingdom for many years, had never seen the legendary Gento, except for this forty-something-year-old Shimizu.
He met her once when he was young.
The alley was not dark; the fire beside him burned brighter and brighter, its crimson light illuminating Zhi Shui's profile. His eyes were deep, and his lips were tightly pursed.
Look at the skyline in the darkness.
It was as if I had fallen into a memory.
That was many, many years ago.
Zhi Shui was just a greenhorn, full of arrogance! He wouldn't submit to anyone.
Although he wasn't ranked at the very top among the assassins, given his age, his future prospects were limitless.
The nobles of the Sakura Kingdom also noticed him and secretly praised him.
Shisui was thrilled, feeling that one day he would become the leader of the assassins, enter the inner sanctum, serve the monarch, and become a first-class swordsman unparalleled in the world.
With this determination, he was decisive and ruthless in almost every mission he went out to carry out, and he always managed to get away unscathed after completing the mission.
Their skills in wielding the katana became increasingly refined.
Its status among its peers has been steadily rising.
Becoming a top-tier assassin is just around the corner.
However, life's journey is always full of drama. He survived countless dangerous and extremely difficult missions, whether it was assassinating foreign officials across the ocean or plotting to kill a criminal tycoon. But in a sudden accident, Zhi Shui almost lost his life...
He will never forget that day.
The rain was continuous, drizzling and persistent.
The sky was gloomy, as if covered by a thin film that could be easily punctured.
Everything was wet, and water was dripping from the eaves of the houses in the small village.
A group of assassins, having nothing better to do, were sparring with each other, forming a small circle.
Suddenly, someone said that the monarch had arrived.
At that time, the former monarch was in high spirits, and the Sakura Kingdom was at the height of its power!
The former monarch was a ruthless and powerful figure with an excellent international reputation.
The assassins all worshipped him.
When they heard about this and rushed over, they saw it in the alley.
The monarch and a woman stand facing each other.
Zhi Shui didn't know how to describe the woman's appearance. She was like someone who had stepped out of a painting, with extremely cold eyes and features, full of artistic beauty.
From top to bottom, she was flawless, with well-defined features and lips as thin as cicada wings.
She is quite petite.
She looks frail, yet she possesses an incredibly powerful aura!
Even the monarch of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom could only rival her.
The woman had only three people with her, while the monarch had a massive crowd of nearly a thousand!
From the Heavenly Stems to the Earthly Branches!
Not one was absent!
Without the monarch's order, no one dared to take a step forward.
"I'm taking these three people with me." The woman said casually, seemingly unaware that she had ventured into the lair of wolves and was in danger of being chopped into pieces at any moment.
"Water Garden, you're gone. I never thought you'd come back. I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Upper Moon assassins. You can leave!" The monarch arrogantly raised his chin and said authoritatively, "Upper Moon assassins, stay!"
It turns out that this beautiful woman's name is Shui Ting.
Zhi Shui looked at her and thought to himself that it was a pity, as this was the first time in his life he had met someone so beautiful.
But the next second he was stunned!
Stringman!!
It really is a string person!
These fellow assassins looked at each other, their eyes revealing shock.
Having heard countless tales of the stringed instrument player as a ghost, this is the first time I've ever seen its true form!
Zhi Shui hurriedly looked over...
He was utterly astonished.
Standing behind the water pavilion was an old man in his fifties, with a kind smile, a hunched back, and hair that was almost completely white!
She was just a girl dressed in rags, her face covered in dirt and dust, as thin as a bamboo pole, her hands swinging back and forth in her empty sleeves!
He was just a chubby little boy with a smile on his face, fidgeting with his fingers, his face covered in freckles and pockmarks...
These people?
What the hell does it have to do with the word "legend"?
Is the monarch mistaken?
The monarch could not possibly be mistaken; these three unassuming individuals were none other than the Upper Moons of the Sakura Kingdom!
Upper Ninth String: Nogi; Upper Seventh String: Ruki; Upper Second String: Fukumo.
Before Zhi Shui could finish his internal monologue, Shui Ting's melodious voice, as clear as a silver bell, rang out.
"They volunteered to come with me, are you going to stop them?"
Voluntary?
All the assassins were stunned.
They never imagined that Upper Moon had left voluntarily.
These people are born to be monarchs, and they will die to be monarchs' ghosts! Where is their freedom? To leave means to betray them, and they will be torn to pieces immediately!
Aren't the stringed instruments supposed to only obey the monarch's orders? How come...
He will obey this woman's orders and leave the Drum family.
“They had no choice.” The monarch stretched out his hand and pointed.
Yes, assassins never have a choice.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be called suicide squads.
