A random person walked on the street. On his leg had a crescent moon tattoo.
Like usual, he just aimlessly walked around since the downfall of the Kozuki clan. He was now a samurai without a goal. Not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, there was a movement in his pocket.
He reached his hand out and found a mini octopus hiding in his pocket. He was very surprised since the entire body of this octopus was made up of water.
He took the paper that the water octopus was holding.
"This is." he exclaimed in shock. Before he said a word, he stopped at the right time.
'A waning crescent moon. This means the Kozuki clan returned. But it's too soon.'
Although he was very shocked, he still hesitated since he didn't know if this was a true message or not.
Not only him, others who received the same message also expressed their doubtfulness on their face.
The message told by Kuri Kozuki didn't arrive on the schedule. 20 years later. But there was still much time before their return.
They doubted the credit of this message but also, inside them, they hoped this was the truth. They had seen bad things caused by Orochi's authority.
"Even if it is false, I still fight for it."
He hurriedly went to his house in order to decipher the message.
In the corner, I looked at them leaving in consideration. This was part of my plan.
How to win over the number of troops and ninjas.
There was a funny tactic that I thought feasible. That was turning enemies into friends.
Like a certain golden-haired boy. Naruto.
Obito who kills his parents. Naruto said "I forgive you." -> Give his eyes in the final war.
Nagato who kills his teacher. Naruto said "I forgive you." -> revive the entire village.
Sounds stupid but works very effectively. Even I couldn't see this coming.
However, this was an inspiration. To know more, I learned some tricks from the internet.
"Don't worry. You are not alone." I said.
If I am not wrong, Orochi's force should be around 4 000 or less. His time as shogun wasn't too long to build a big-armed force.
"This will distract the fake Orochi for a while" I made my way to a prison built by a beast pirate.
"There were Yakuza who were loyal to the Kozuki clan. The only thing I do is to release them." A sinister smile appeared on my face.
"And I will be fishing in this civil war."
The war between old shotgun and new shotgun.
To do a little favor for the rebel win, I decided to destroy their ammunition storage house.
I used vision to form a mini octopus and hermit crab.
"Now go and destroy their weapon, my minion. Ha ha ha." I gave them a command and they followed my order.
They inserted their water body into a gap between buildings.
"People will love this firework." I wiped my happy tears.
"Now, it's time for my speech to instigate their rebel spirit." I readjusted my costume before giving a speech in a lively street.
"Hello. Lady and gentlemen. It's me, Furina. You must have heard about me somewhere." when I introduced myself, I could see their tiredness on their face. Now, they looked like a zombie.
"Working too hard but can't have 3 meals each day. You guys seem like in a worse situation than the last time I saw you." I said out loud.
"I can not understand why you guys want to live in this country anymore. The truth is right before your eyes. That mountain" I pointed at a dead mountain with no living plants. "That land used to plant rice. Now. It's gone. A limited supply of food. Limited clean water. As a result, the prices are on the sky. You are living in a hell."
I laid my hand on my forehead.
"As an outsider, I can't understand why you guys sell your effort at a cheap price."
As a human, I could understand why they silently accepted this living hell. Because they had a weak will. A bird in a cage. With no will of freedom.
Are they angry about their living conditions?
Obviously yes.
It was their fear of death that held them back from freedom. And now, I came to this place again to instigate the will of freedom.
After observing for a while, I could see their acceptance of my words.
They had been holding their anger for too long. It was easy to provoke them in this period.
"Because of that, I deeply sympathize with your life." My fake tears dropped from my cheeks.
"I have seen this case before. A bird in a steel cage. It can fly freely or sing freely. It has to imprison their mind in a small space."
For children who were brainwashed by the teaching made by Orochi, they all thought this peacock-like person was very rude to their shogun. They wanted to take down this girl by themselves so they tried to find the nearest stone to throw.
Only adults understood the hardship. Children didn't get hit by social and got protected by their parents all the time so they didn't know this too much.
"But at the same time, I also saw the will long for freedom in that bird. How beautiful it was? So tell me. Do you want to be a free bird or a cage bird? I want to know your opinion. If you want to hear my answer then I want to be a free bird." I raised my hand high.
"Since freedom is good" From my sleeves, water birds flew out to the broad sky representing the symbol of freedom.
I bowed my head with my head. From the corner of my eye, I could see the team of guard making their way towards me.
'Damn brats.'
Those guards were probably reported by those brats who followed behind them.
"It's time for an entertainment show. Who wants to see some magic tricks." I put my hand into my hat.
After struggling for a while, I took out a white paper.
"The magic trick today is a water tank."
Out of nowhere, the water tank appeared from the air and dropped onto the stage.
"As you see. This water tank is filled with water." I saw and opened the lid. "I will escape this tank while"
I took out a handcuff and a steel chain.
"Being cuffed by those things. Let's see how I escape this tank." I cuffed myself and entered the tank. The lid automatically closed after I entered.
After entering the tank, I struggled to open the cuffs. The guards have already surrounded the tank waiting for me to emerge to surface.
However, after 1 minute of struggling, I couldn't open the cuffs by myself.
The audience watched me with bated breath. They all thought that I would drown to death.
Just as they thought I had already finished myself. A bubble appeared blocking the sight.
They couldn't see what happened in the tank.
Only after the bubble disappeared, the only thing they saw was the costume.
Only a costume was found, for the girl, they didn't see.
"Ta-da." I shouted to the crowd from the rooftop. "I have escaped without drowning to death."
They gave a huge applause for my performance.
The guards didn't do so. They made their way towards me.
"Anyway. Have a good day." I dropped the smoke grenade and disappeared.
The guard's face filled with bewilderment.
"Ninja."
"Report to HQ that we have a rebellious ninja here."
That night.
One of the guards who joined the chasing game with Furina left for his home.
After arriving at his home, he felt something odd. He opened the door and saw a ninja team in his house.
"How can I help you?"
"Bravo for your performance. I am almost fooled by your action." a person emerged from the shadow.
"Do you know what you have committed?"
"No. I haven't" He denied sincerity.
He has always been a diligent in his job. How can he harbor a bad intention?
"Liar."
A leader of the ninja team tore the picture.
"Then how can you explain this."
Behind the picture was a map of Wano country and many letters tried to decipher the message.
"You are good at lying." The leader of the ninja team showed a paper with a waning crescent moon on it.
"Seize him." Many shadows jumped from every corner. They hit him making him kiss the ground.
"Tell me. Where are they?"
"They. I don't know any of them."
"Good. You are in charge of breaking the peace of the country. Arrest him to public prison waiting the day of public execution."
"Yes, sir."
"Look like some rats still lurking in the corner of this country."
He couldn't understand why he was arrested but he will prove his innocence before people. Someone will understand him.
However, no one will.
He was just one of the victims involved in the grand scheme.
