Chapter 27 Behind the scenes
You know it's weird feeling at peace, I mean yes even here blood shed is a regular thing I mean it's the 1500's you could challenge someone to a fight to the death for stepping on your shoes but there's something tranquil about it you know, it's a fresh air from nejire.
Here I don't have to look over my shoulder everytime I wake up, I here the sweet sounds of birds chirping, chickens crowing and the town's people hawking, rather than that of blades clashing and flesh being cut... Although there is something relaxing about that as well.
I make my way to the bathhouse, with my towel, a nice walk to the bath without booby traps and dead bodies "Kinda boring..... but peaceful" I say as I open the bath door and catch an arrow fired at my face "Booby trapping the door my lord? Really?" I say to nobunaga in a sarcastic tone "It was lady Otsuya's idea and I thought it would be funny" Nobunaga says holding in her giggles, I drop the arrow on the ground and close the door "and what if I didn't catch it?" I ask "stop making jokes Yasuke you're not good at it" she says with a straight face as I chuckle a little "okay but then what of it was someone else that walked in? I ask "Then they should be dead for walking in on me during my bath time" she replies.
I see lady Otsuya just chilling with her boy under water all the way up to her neck "Still modest Otsuya? You know as a warrior if you get embarrassed when people see you naked then you have a weak spot that can be exploited "I say to her while scratching my palm.
"And as a warrior you should be smarter about which arrows you catch and which you dodge Yasuke " she replies
I paused and stared at and said with a suspicious tone ".....what do you mean by that?" I ask
"I've been working on a new itching cream since you got here.... And it was all over that arrow you caught with your bare hands" she says to me in a condescending tone
I break out in a nervous sweat still itching my hand "Looks like it's been kicking in little by little, shoul9d kick into full effect in 3...2...1" she says with a confident smile. o
"Shit shit shit shit shit!!" I yell as I run to the bath water to try a wash of the itching cream, but it has no effect I'm still itchy as hell "I can still see your tiddies" I say to her while itching my voice sounding like I'm in pain but I still manage to crack a smile before she cracked my skull with a bucket.
I slowly open my eyes and wake up to the site of Nobunaga looking down at me smiling, my head on her lap as she braids my hair "Don't worry about the itch lady Otsuya will Otsuya already put a cream on your hand to reverse the effects of the itching cream" she says trying not to laugh "I don't ever think I've seen you in such a vulnerable state Yasuke, it's quite hilarious" she says chuckling "fuck you too" I say to her looking at her with a bit of annoyance trying not to laugh as well "Now tell me Lord Nobunaga.... Why are you touching my hair" I say to her pointing a comb at her neck "Now Yasuke we agreed, no trying to kill me till I've achieved my goal" She says.
I put down the comb and relax "I remember, so I'll have to make sure to help you achieve that goal as soon as possible" I reply her.
"Attaboy" she says with a grin
"Oh and I won't be trying to kill you my lord, you've been a dead woman walking since the day you didn't kill me when you had the chance" I say to her smiling back innocently
"That asssssin confidence radiating from strenght is just something to behold, that's why I like you Yasuke, you need to replicate yourself into my soldiers, I need more warriors that can get the job done, fighters as twisted in the head as you, I need assassin's to do my bidding" she says grabbing my face and staring into my eyes with a sinister smile.
I can't help but smile back because there's something seriously psychotic hidden within this woman.... And I love it.
"Why does it sound like you are trying to pitch me something, little Nobuna" I say to her in a condescending tone.
She picks up the comb and points it to my chest "What did I tell you about speaking to me in a disrespectful manner Yasuke, you mistake my fascination for weakness?" She says
"What did you say about killing eachother before your goal is achieved? Put that down Nobuna" I reply her
She drops the comb "smart mouth piece of shit" she says
"You love me. so what's the pitch?" I say in a boastful tone.
"The foreignerd whisper of special groups of assassin's all over the world, a lot of countries seem to have them, but apparently their all myths, cause anyone said to have seen them never made it out alive, and apparently the first group of them, were a group of women from Africa" she explains
"The agojie?" I ask
"No they are common knowledge, there was another group, that have wiped their records almost like they didn't exist, the jahannama or as I like to refer to them the hell hounds of Africa, legend says, they still exist in this day and age, hiding in the shadows, hunting their enemies, you wouldn't happen to be one of them would you? Yasuke" she says
"Part of an elite group of african fantasy women assassin's? No... No I do not believe I have the facilities for that" I reply
"You talk in such weird ways sometimes yasuke, well I had to ask since you're black and an assassin" she says
"You mother f-" I try to say before I am interrupted by Lord Nobunaga
"I want one" she says interrupting me
"An African? What I'm not good enough for you?" I say Jokingly
"No you fool" she replies and pulls my hair in a painful manner
"Ow! I'm kidding" I say laughing. "Not the fool of owarri calling me a fool" I say slightly chuckling.
"Ha ha ha" she laughs sarcastically. "I'm serious Yasuke, I want a group of assassin's like yourself, a secret group non existent to the world, do you know what I could do with that?" She states
"Unite Japan, I'm assuming" I say to her
"Rule Japan" she replies.
"I will stand at the pinnacle and show the world that even their gods can not stop me" she says as she chuckles maniacally
I can't help but smile and be amazed by Nobunaga devotion to her cause in a day and age like this she rules over men and leads them in battle, and not a single one can best her in combat, not to mention her battle iq is magnificent, she kinda reminds me of Queen Amina of Zaria I have so much to learn, I wonder what plans she has for the secret assassins, I never heard about them in the history books.
"I heard the shinsingumi will be coming for me, bring me one or 2 alive and we can bend them to our will" she says
"You want me to tame the enemy?" I ask
"I want you to bring me the strongest warriors and turn them into wild dogs only obedient to me" she says
"Aii bet" I reply
"Huh?" She looks confused
"Fashi" I reply
"What fish?" She asks
"I'm just messing with you little Nobuna" I say with a grin on my face
"Ha ha ha, you have 3 days to do it or I'm executing you" she replies
"What the fuck?" I whisper.
"I hear word that the shinsingumi are quite the force to be reckoned with, I want you to infiltrate them and bring me a few as recruits, and pick up any strong warrior along the way" she says
"You want me to hunt the wolves of shibuya? And make them swear loyalty in 3 days?" I ask
"Pretty much" she replies.
"Fine but I'll need lady Otsuya's help" I say
"Alright, the both of you should be gone by sunset" she says.
I guess, I'm about to write history with my own hands, the shinsingumi were said to be some of the strongest warriors in this Era, this will be entertaining at the very least.Download Novelah App
