《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 4 - Nanami (Katanagatari)
Advertisement
Out in the desert, a man and a women stood before a corpse buried in sands.
????: Maniwa Shirasagi.
The man who is wearing traditional japanese merchant clothes was Shang. The clothes he was wearing was collected from one of Maniwa Komori’s items.
Shang went ahead and touch the head of the corpse.
System: Added: Ninpo: Gekirin Sagashi
System: Updated: Body Packing
System: Added: Maniwa Ninja Army’s…..(Kunai, Shuriken, Rations, etc)
System: Added: Maniwa Shirasagi’s…..(Upper body clothes and Upper body components)
Shang’s thoughts: Looks like Collector’s Touch does not collect fully on bodies that are cut into half.
Shang went over to touch the legs which are sticking out of the desert.
System: Added: Maniwa Shirasagi’s…..(Lower body clothes and Lower body components)
Shang was currently trying to figure out Maniwa Shirasagi’s Ninpou before looking at the system store’s given description.
Various clues were given in Katanagatari and Maniwagatari.
One of the clues given in Katanagatari was the chains Shirasagi wore around his waist. Most of the Maniwa ninjas had chains around them are either chain sickles or simply decorations.
Another set of clues in Maniwagatari are Shirasagi’s ability to complete his missions fully, his previous known title and the weapon he no longer carried around in Katanagatari.
Shirasagi was known as the Choso no Shirasagi, which could be translated as Shirasagi of the Longspear. It was the longspear he was carrying that gives him that title but it is mentioned in Maniwagatari that he never used it and he only use that rarely seen Ninpou.
Some fans speculated Shirasagi might be a poison user but that was shot down as Shirasagi’s killer would be dead already if he had accidently let loose Shirasagi’s poison when dumping his body.
One interesting theory that Shang came up would be Shirasagi might a electric user where the long spear is a actually a tool for him to study lightning and the experiments caused him to have speech disorders, making him only able to to reverse talk. This was shot down immediately as if Shirasagi was really a electric user, his deeds should have been investigated by others and his title would be Shirasagi of the Lightning.

Another possibility came through Shang’s mind. If one is to translate Gekirin Sagashi, it would be Wrath Search. A ninja technique that could search the wrath of an enemy would be interesting. Knowing an enemy’s wrath could easily let the user cloud the enemy’s judgement by angering him or her. Angering an enemy could also kill an enemy. One example would be how Zhuge Liang killed Wang Lang with his words in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Shang was done with guessing and decided to view the description of the Ninpou. What he saw surprised him.
System: Skill Name: Gekirin Sagashi
System: Skill Type: Ninpou
System: Skill Target type: ?????
System: Skill Description: ?????
Shang was speechless for a moment that not even the system knows what this Ninpou really do.
Shang looked at the corpse of Maniwa Shirasagi and sighed in disappointment.
????: Why are you sighing at the corpse?
The long black haired woman wearing a green kimono with a pink obi.
Shang: I thought I could get something out of the corpse but my time is wasted on it.
Shang looked at woman and said.
????: Eh~ It doesn’t concern me right ? I am more interested in that presence who managed to hide his killing intent well.
The woman began to walk away, saying.
Shang: Eh? Uneri Ginkaku? Well, don’t kill him. He’s a good opponent for Shichika.
Woman: Good or not is not up to you to say. I will personally test him myself.
Shang: You really do care about your little brother.
Shang: Nanami.
