Once inside, he was directed to the rooms of the lord who
had taken interest in his goods. He made an appointment
and took his meal, doing nothing to attract suspicion. In the
evening, he met the lord, and made a fine sale. Appearing
pleased and tired, he was given a place among the servants
for the night.
Once night fell, Kenji’s real work began. He turned his
clothing inside-out and changed from his merchant disguise
into his black Ninja uniform. For weapons he had the
merchant dagger in his belt and the four throwing knives
from the wooden box. He had caught sight of the standard of
the enemy’s top general earlier in the day. Cautiously he
made his way through the shadows of the captured castle
toward the general’s quarters in order to spy on the general’s
condition.
