Neo-Saitama. High above the airspace of the advertizing Tuna-Zeppelins, stands a super high rise pent-house. Shielded from the heavy metal acid rain by a skylight window, in a laxury kitchen stands an evil ninja, Jade Mamushi. The ninja chose a knife from a wall hanger to cut up a whole Maguro tuna.

"Mmm…Mmmm…"
Jade Mamushi slices through the red flesh. Though not as skilled as an Itamae, but with a practiced hand. Beside him is a bottle of balsamic soy sauce, fresh organic pepper, cooking oil, and a bowl full of various herbs mixed according to the recipe.

Fawoo… Electronic gagaku and incense fills the room. The savory smell of roast beef is coming from the oven. On the walls are shodo callligraphies that reflects this ninja's wealth and values. "Violent", "Pillage", "Mamushi", and "Murder"… After wiping his hands with a clean napkin, Jade Mamushi reached out to his mobile device. He starts uploading pics of his cooking process to the IRC-SNS.

"Mmm…Mmmm"
His photo archive isn't sorted into folders. Next to the cooking images are photos of a young man with his nose scraped off, a girl locked up until she only had skin and bones left, and a brown teddy bear bought as a present, all mixed togher in no particular orders. Just scenes of his everyday life.
Fawoo… "We have a visitor," the Maiko interphone tells.

The ninja stops his hands, looks up to the clock and gives a dubious look.
There's still an hour left to the Bureiko home party, where he invited his friends and followers to trade slave Oiran and stocks. Now should be his personal hobby time.
"Domo. It's Jade Mamushi. Who's this? You're a bit early, bro. Even the Teriyaki's not ready yet. I see that you're so hungry that couldn't wait…"

When he wiped his hand with Tenugi and took the IRC phone on the wall, a hellish voice full of hatred answered.
"Domo, Jade Mamushi-san. I am Ninja Slayer."
"What the!?" Jade Mamushi opened his eye wide out.
"You… You must be…" As he puts down his phone in a hurry, a creaking sound came from the front door.

"What…From the entrance…?" In the slightest seconds that Jade Mamushi thought of his next move, SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The pent-house door with triple security was destroyed by Karate.
Fawooo… In a room filled with electronic Gagaku, an ominous figure in a ninja suit boiling in red and black emerged from the dust.

Jade Mamushi held his breath. The unknown ninja is wearing a Menpo with "NIN" "SATSU" engraved on it. Trembling in fears to the dreadful Kanji, Jade Mamushi answers.
"Domo, Ninja Slayer-san. I am Jade Mamushi."
A ninja must answer an Aisatsu. It is even written in the sacred book of Kojiki.

"What the hell are you…" While backing away, Jade Mamushi hides his right hand and whips out a dangerous blade from his sleeve.
"It's just a little surprise, right? Don't you think breaking the door is going a bit too far? Hey, relax…"
"Yeeart!"
"Aaaagh!"  
Even quicker than Jade Mamushi's ambush, Ninja Slayer's fist was smashed into his face.

Jade Mamushi jumped back and took his defense posture, but…
"Yeeart!"
"Aaaagh!"
Before he could guard, another punch struck his face. The moment Jade Mamushi staggered, Ninja Slayer caught his neck and smashed it on the cutting board, in company with the tuna flesh.
"Yeeart!"
”Ooooff!”
Jade Mamushi strugles, but can't get loose! What a brute strength!

"It… Can't be…"
"Yeeart!"
"Aaaagh!" A blow in the head! Jade Mamushi strugles.
"I… I surrender. Just listen to…"
"Yeaaart!"
"Ooooff! W, what the hell do you want…!"
"Do you know a man called Satsugai?" The death bringer's eyes glared in red and black. The name immedeately chilled down Jade Mamushi's spine.

"Right. You know him." Ninja Slayer sharpend his eyes.
Jade Mamushi realised that the killer read his pupil constriction.
"Wait…but, why would you know Satsugai-san's name…"
"Yeeart!"
"Aaaagh!" "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything I know! B, but…even I don't know what he actually is…!"

"……" Ninja Slayer became silent.
"There's a file in the UNIX deck. Just a few bits of information. That's all I've got."
He's telling the truth. You can see that from his face.
And…NAMU-AMI-DABUTSU… yet the grim reeper has no mercy on his prey.
But Jade Mamushi still has a trump card in his hand.
A card given to him from Satsugai.

"Let me read a death Haiku"
Jade Mamushi trembled. The restraint slightly weakened. 
(Now's the chance!)
The chance to use the gifted Corpse Napalm Jitsu "Yeeart!"
"Aaaagh!"
Ninja Slayer struck down his fist!
"Yeeart!"
"Ooooff!"
"Yeeart!"
"Ooooff!"
The skull crushes!
"SAYONARA!"
Explosion and Scatter!

Even after Jade Mamushi had exploded and scattered, Ninja Slayer continued to destroy the cuttingboard and the whole dining room with boiling hatred in his fists. The tuna flesh scattered around the Unix desk and the souvenir pennants on the wall.
Hong Kong! London! Okinawa! Egypt!
"Yeeeeeeeart!"
