Chapter: 1940
Because Itoh Yohiko was surrounded by the entire Koga ninja group's protection.
It can be said that only his ninjas among Japan's prominent families were unharmed and not reduced in combat strength.
Except for him, almost all the young men of the So family had perished, and the Iga family had lost half their combat power.
However, Itoh Yohiko's greatest oversight was being too careless this time out.
He thought to himself, "I'm going to Tokyo Police Department for questioning and investigation, with a police car leading the way ahead. There's no way anyone would ambush me on my way to the police department, thinking about causing trouble."
It was precisely because of this that he didn't arrange too many ninja guards to protect himself.
However, he had no idea that the lead police car had already been coerced by Matsumoto RyĆjin and laid a trap for him, waiting for him to fall into it.
Itoh Yohiko's vehicle suddenly lost control, mainly due to the massive amount of caltrops placed on the road surface by the Iga ninja.
Caltrops are a type of weapon commonly used by Japanese ninjas, which typically consist of long metal products with sharp spikes that protrude in different directions when scattered on the ground.
In ancient times, Japanese ninjas would use caltrops when being pursued to create obstacles behind them, allowing pursuers to step on them and be impaled by the spikes.
Currently, ninjas have upgraded caltrops to use extremely hard carbon steel alloy, which is also the hardest metal material in the world, with a hardness comparable to diamonds.
Therefore, using such caltrops could easily puncture any rubber-made tires.
Itoh Yohiko's vehicle lost control instantaneously because each tire was stabbed by several caltrops, resulting in all four wheels losing control and crashing into the roadside barrier.
At the moment of impact, Itoh Yohiko's lit cigar suddenly fell onto his pants leg, and he himself was shaken to the core.
Luckily, the old man had good safety habits, even when sitting in the back seat, he still wore his seatbelt.
Otherwise, it would have been a violent collision just now, and even the best car couldn't withstand his inertia.
If they crashed into the front passenger seat, I'm sure they would have died on the spot.
At this moment, Itoh Yohiko's bodyguards and two ninjas had already gotten out of the two cars in front and back, surrounding Itoh Yohiko's car.
Just then, six Iga ninjas suddenly appeared from the opposite lane, each gripping a ninja sword tightly with their hands, looking ferocious!
The second driver, Tanaka Hiroichi, was shocked pale, turned his head to say to Itoh Yohiko: "Chairman! What kind of ninjas are these? Are they sent by Takahashi Masahiro?"
Itoh Yohiko was about to speak when suddenly he let out a yelp and looked down, only to find that his pants had been burned through and a scar had appeared on the inside of his thigh.
He quickly grabbed his cigar and tossed it aside, hastily saying: "Where are the police cars leading the way?"
The driver spoke up at this moment: "Chairman, the police cars have already left..."
"What?! Itoh Yohiko exclaimed, eyes wide with shock and anger: "We're being ambushed! They're actually driving away from us? Are they even human?!
Tanaka Hiroichi suddenly looked enlightened, and said out loud: "Chairman, those police officers might be intentionally luring you out to trap you!" JrNovels.com
