    Prior to the moment when his vehicle lost control and collided with a roadside fence, Yuhiko Ito never imagined he would be in peril.


    After all, Yuhiko Ito was under the protection of the entire Koka Ninja n.


    In fact, it could be said that among the prominent Japanese families, only his ninja group had remained unscathed, with no casualties or losses inbat.


    In contrast, the younger and middle-aged members of the Tenglin family had nearly been annihted, while the Iga family had suffered a significant reduction in theirbat strength.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, Ito’s greatest oversight was his overly casual approach to this outing.


    He believed that since he was going to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for questioning and to assist with the investigation, and with a police officer driving ahead of him, there was no reason to suspect danger on his journey. Surely, no one would think to target him on the way to the police station, right?


    This misced confidence led him to forgo arranging a substantial number of ninjas for his protection.


    Little did he know, the police car that was supposed to clear the way had already beenpromised by Mr. Matsumoto, who had set a trap for him.


    Yuhiko Ito’s motorcade abruptly lost control due to a series of salings that the Iga Ninja had strategically ced along the road!


    Salings are amon weapon used by Japanese ninjas, typically made of metal and adorned with spikes. When scattered on the ground, these salings expose multiple spikes pointing in various directions.


    Historically, when a Japanese ninja was being pursued, they would drop salings behind them, causing the pursuing enemy to step on them, often resulting in painful injuries.


    Modern ninjas have significantly upgraded this weapon; today’s salings are crafted from durable tungsten carbide alloy, recognized as one of the hardest materials on Earth,parable to diamond in hardness.


    With such advanced salings, puncturing any rubber tire bes a simple task!


    The reason Yuhiko Ito’s convoy lost control so dramatically was that the tires of each vehicle were punctured by several salings, leading to a simultaneous loss of control and a crash into the roadside.


    At the moment of impact, the cigar that Yuhiko Ito had just lit fell onto hisp, causing his body to jolt from the force of the collision.


    Fortunately, this seasoned individual had good safety practices; despite sitting in the rear seat, he had fastened his seatbelt.


    Had he not done so, the violent impact would have been enough to send him crashing into the front seat, and he would have had an 80% chance of losing his life from such an injury.


    As the chaos unfolded, several of Ito’s bodyguards and two ninjas exited their vehicles and surrounded Ito’s car.


    Suddenly, six Iga ninjas sprang into action from the oppositene, each wielding a ninja sword and charging forward with lethal intent!


    Hiroshi Tanaka, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned pale and eximed to Yuhiko Ito: “Guild Master! Where did these ninjase from? Could they be sent by Takahashi?!”


    Just as Yuhiko Ito was about to respond, he let out a shout of surprise, looking down to see that his cigar had burned through his pants, leaving a painful mark on his inner thigh.


    He quickly snatched up the cigar and tossed it aside, eximing: “Where is the police car that was leading us?”


    The driver replied, “Mr. Ito, the police car has already left…”


    “Left?!” Yuhiko Ito cursed in disbelief, “We’ve been ambushed, and they just drove away?! Is this even human?!”


    Suddenly, Hiroshi Tanaka had a realization and blurted out: “Guild Master, do you think the police officers intentionally lured you out?”


    Yuhiko Ito roared in anger, “What kind of despicable beast would calcte such a thing against me?!”
