Now that they have controlled much of the positioning of the Samurais, the beggars are now able to masquerade attacks into the ones they are trying to protect in the shadows. The ninjas themselves.
Phantal, Commander Won Do, and Commander Pang Yuan, had a plan now to attack first the Mikkei Gong Ninjas. The target of this attack is to eliminate over and over again the Ninja Star and Queen Reiko Straw through Reiko Sagara.
With 10 000 person army of beggar cultivators now fighting against the whole of the Japanese order, the Japanese Shogunate now issues an all out war with the beggar army.
The fight of the distraction is intense but more so is the retreat of Reiko Sagara from harm. Reiko, now activated as a Straw, have now to flee and battle the beggars attacking her at a grand scale. Almost 500 beggars are on the hunt for her, with only 13 of the Mikkei Gong Ninjas including Mikkei Gong himself.
"Madam Reiko, we suggest returning to your husband Forest of Life." - Mikkei Gong
"It seems that she is the target now." - Kazuki of Mikkei
"We'll have to go to our reserves down at my Father." - Reiko Sagara
"Not to disturb your husband for the important match up." - Kazuki of Mikkei
"Yes, he'll be fighting Hans Jenfield and his gang of opressors." - Reiko Straw
Following the beggars side of the story, Beggar Army Elite Shinichiro Hamazaki is on their tail. Making blue spiritual blades out of ki, he makes a breath and then a released: "Saibachi-wa!" - then throws them in Reiko Straw's direction. Their first combat encounter has begun.
Saibachi-wa, a technique of infusing chi in the lungs as ki, then by duality of sides, transfers each ki from each lung to each of their respective arms. Means, philosophy of duality to move the aspects of chi. It is a bipolar attack of possibly continues attacks with each lungs as cartridges of the attacks.
"Everyone! Ready yourselves from the top, we are now under attack!" - Mikkei Gong
"Kazuki! Counter!" - Reiko Straw
Kazuki counters with her Kunai infused with ki but the kunai was slice. Though deflected slightly, still formed a slash in Kazuki's side of the torso.
When everyone stopped, everyone showed themselves. Plenty showed themselves as beggars in the streets. All standing up and throwing away their stash used to earn coins. Then the ramble begins as the Mikkei Gong Ninjas are in building windows attached like mantises ready to fight.
The beggars running around the sides of the buildings while shooting at the ninjas arrows and slings. The others surround the Three: Kazuki, Mikkei Gong, and Reiko Straw.
As this is happening, a total of 11 from both sides of the windows of the building rushed down deflecting the projectiles and throwing shurikens and slashing the beggars they need to encounter.
The other ninjas, just still are not affiliated in the war lies still and are observing the battle. Though watching, "Hachemeru" an old master of ninjitsu, tries one of the beggars if they, the ninja association is the target. Killing off one Elite Beggar cultivator in the process and wounding the other three. But no response was made. In no quick decision, they did not rush to leave but observed still the situation.
The beggars, not paying any attention to the other ninjas. Focused solely their attack on Reiko Straw. Causing Mikkei to be wounded protecting her.
Then like a spiral of fast attack and ambush, and assault, the other of Mikkei Gong Ninjas reinforce the centerfield of the Beggar Army assault. To fight alongside their master Reiko Straw and their Boss Mikkei Gong.
