Chapter 1730

However, the use of the shuriken is quite different from that of a dagger.

The dagger is mostly used for piercing and cutting whereas the shuriken is normally used for throwing.

It can be said that the shuriken would be closer related to the flying daggers used by the Circus Dagger Masters, which performed by throwing their daggers at moving objects.

If martial arts is about glory and righteousness, then Japanese ninjutsu would more closely resemble cruelty and heartlessness.

Ninjas do not like face-to-face confrontations. They prefer attacking from the dark where their victims have no idea where they are. This is the ultimate path a ninja would pursue.

They like to use weapons such as shurikens, darts, and blow darts. They also like coating their blades with highly toxic substances so their opponents cannot escape death even if they were to fail in the upfront assassination. In case they fail, the toxins would work their magic and eventually kill the opponent.

A minute had passed and Aota was still unable to detect any movement from Charlie. His hearing has covered almost the entire park and after a moment, he concluded that there was only one living being in the park, and that was himself.

Aota couldn’t help but ponder.

Where did the Oskian go? Did he escape? Or did he go into hiding?!

If he escaped, then how did he escape so quickly?! Could it be that he knows how to use the transportation jutsu? Or was it due to my carelessness that he was able to snake himself out of here?

If he had hidden himself, then how did he manage to stay so still for a whole minute? He could hold his breath, but how did his heart stop pounding? Wasn’t that a little unrealistic?

If it was the former, then the responsibility rested on his shoulders and it would be due to his mistake that his target was able to escape. If that was the case, then all he needed to do was to go back and report this, then pay the penalty and make sure that he paid more attention to his work the next time.

But if it was the latter, then this person’s strength and ability would simply be unfathomable!

Thinking of this, his body trembled and he was sweating cold sweat profusely.

Therefore, Aota grasped his shuriken even tighter in his hand. Without making a sound, he turned around and looked at his surroundings very carefully. He was afraid that the enemy might suddenly ambush him.

After turning two rounds, he confirmed that there was no one around. He then slowly loosened his breath.

Just as he was about to leave the scene, he suddenly felt a gentle tap on his left shoulder!

Immediately he turned around like a madman. He was covered in cold sweat as he quickly released the poison-coated shurikens at the direction behind him.

The two shurikens that were released had no target to strike. Thus after flying out a few meters, the shurikens stuck themselves onto the wall.

D*mn it!

Where was the person?!

Aota was beyond shocked but he dared not leave his hands empty. He immediately reached into his clothes pocket and retrieved two more shurikens!

Aota, who was holding the shurikens, shouted out in fear, “Who is it?! Show yourself!”

At that moment, he felt someone tap his right shoulder twice!

This time round, Aota was so scared he almost pissed his pants.

He jumped forward like a madman and at the same time, turned his head angrily. He then threw both shurikens in the direction he was facing.

Sadly, there was nothing there. Not even a shadow could be seen.

Aota was scared stiff and quickly retrieved the final two shurikens.

During this moment, a sound rang out from behind him. “It seems like Japanese ninjas are nothing too impressive. Disappointing!”
