Chapter 1718
The leader of the ninjas observed his surroundings and saw that Aman Hotel was not far from the
opposite side of the building, so he immediately ordered, "Number Two, we willnd on the roof of
Aman Hotel to monitor them. Number Three and Number Four, look for a suitable ce to hide
downstairs. Keep our target under our eyes at all times!" i
The voices of the three men immediately resonated over the inte, "Okay, Senior!"

Aman Hotel. Immediately afternding, the lead ninja contacted Takahashi Machi, Eikichi’s father.

Machi was at the hospital now. His eldest son, Eikichi, was still undergoing surgery to imnt tes
in both arms. After the surgery, he would have to stay in a cast for at least three months to recover
gradually.
After receiving the call, Machi immediately asked, " Fujibayashi-san, how are things going?"
The one called Fujibayashi-san was the leader of the four ninjas. 5
His name was Fujibayashi Masatetsu, and the Fujibayashi n was one of the four great ninjutsu
families in Japan.
In the course of the development of ninjutsu in Japan, there was once a master of ninjutsu named
Fujibayashi Yasutake. Yasutake was once a famous schr of the Tokugawa family, one of the top
families in Japan.
In 1676, he wrote a book called , whichbined the essence of martial arts from Chinese and
Japanese masters. His reference included the famous of Chinese history. His book waster
regarded as the encyclopedia of ninjas. 11
Since then, the Fujibayashi family had gradually be one of the top ninjutsu families in Japan.
Masatetsu was the sessor of the Fujibayashi family.
In Japan, the ninja had always been dependent on the top families to survive. During the Warring
State period, there were arge number of ninjas working for the great families of Japan and the
Shoguns.
Although ninjas were bing rarer in the modern days, the true ninja masters were still
dependent on the top families.
This was mainly because the ninja ncked sufficient earning power. As modern society became
safer, more civilized, andwful, they could not earn money by killing people, so they could only
continue t o be dependent on the influential families and be worshipped by the members of these
families, s
The term "worship" was a nice way of describing
captivity.
In reality, it became a kind of a hobby for all the big families in Japan to keep these ninjas in
captivity and give them enough money and respect to make them work for the family.
Masatetsu was the ninja master that was under the Takahashi family''s captivity. 6
On the phone, he reported, "Takahashi-san, we’ve tracked down the guy’s location. He is now at a
building across the street from Aman Hotel in the center of town. I''m now keeping a close watch on
him from the roof of Aman Hotel, waiting for your next instructions."
"Good! Very good!"
Machi was finally relieved by the news. He then ground his teeth and said, "As long as I’ve found
him, I can avenge my son!"
With that, he ordered, "Fujibayashi-san, you must keep your eyes on him at all times-follow him
wherever he goes, and wait for my next order. If he tries to leave Japan, kill him!"
Masatetsu said, "Don''t worry, Takahashi-san. From now on, I will not let the target escape from my
eyes!"
Machi said, "Great! Fujibayashi-san, when this is done, I will give you a generous reward, at least
five million dors!" s
Masatetsu grinned gleefully. "I thank you in advance!"
Then, something struck Machi''s mind, and he quickly said, "By the way, Fujibayashi-san, Jaime
Schulz, the eldest son and grandson of the Schulz family, is staying at Aman Hotel. If possible,
please monitor him for me, too. I want to know who he met at the hotel, who he called, and what he
said." 5
Masatetsu immediately answered, "No problem! I''ll go check on him right away!"
