"Let him run away again!"
The moon was sparse, and in the darkness after the sun had set, Okusuke punched the tree, breaking the big tree abruptly, and said angrily.
They chased them all the way from the capital of the Iron Country to remote rural areas, and then into this forest, but they still let the white-eyed wolf escape!
With Kenshin escaping, everyone could only mow in the woods depressedly. A samurai sat next to Okisuke depressedly and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Sir, who is this Himura Kenshin? He has such strong swordsmanship skills..."
After hearing his words, a trace of recollection flashed across Okosuke's eyes, and he sighed.
"It's no wonder you don't know that Himura Kenshin's original name was Shinta. His whole family died at the hands of gangsters. By chance, he was discovered by Admiral Mifune and became his apprentice. He has been practicing secretly for so many years and was only recently born to execute Task."
The samurai asked curiously, "But why did he later change his name to Himura Kenshin? And what about the rumors that he also received the inheritance of a mysterious swordsman?"
The Iron Country is a neutral warrior country, and as we all know, neutral countries are generally not weak.
To be able to maintain neutrality in today's turbulent ninja world, the Iron Kingdom's military strength is not weak, and the most famous one is General Mifune.
Besides him, there are four masters—
Okisuke, Satoka, with a sword and Himura Kenshin.
The first three are all veteran strongmen of the Iron Kingdom, and they are no less competitive than the jounin of the ninjas outside.
And Himura Kenshin is a swordsman who suddenly appeared in the past few years. There are many rumors about him. Some say that he is a killer secretly cultivated by Admiral Mifune. Others say that in addition to the traditional swordsmanship of the Iron Kingdom, he also obtained a top swordsman from the outside world. His inheritance gave him the strength that many warriors longed for throughout their lives at a young age.
All in all, this is a very mysterious samurai...
Okisuke's pupils shrank, and after thinking for a while he whispered:
"Himura Kenshin does have the inheritance of another top swordsman, and you may not believe it, but his master..."
He slowed down, as if he was telling a shocking secret, and said cautiously, "But he is still connected with the Shichibukai, who was famous in the ninja world! And his current name is because he said, 'The name Shinta is too weak.' And modified.”
"Shichibukai?!!!"
Everyone was extremely surprised. Who in the world today doesn’t know about this organization
The demons were strong enough and powerful enough, but they still fell into the hands of the Shichibukai.
Aizen must be so awesome, he played tricks on all the forces of the five major kingdoms, and forced out Madara Uchiha and Sage of Six Paths who were hiding behind the scenes of the ninja world. He is from the Shichibukai.
Even if we don’t talk about what happened ten years ago, Suzuki Tongilo, who recently made a mess in the Land of Waves, was also a member of the Shichibukai.
It can be seen from this that how terrifying this organization is... When it moves, the world will move, and when it is safe, the world will be safe!
And now, Okisuke actually said that Himura Kenshin was involved in such a terrifying organization? !
"But... didn't it say that the Shichibukai has been disbanded?"
A warrior around him reacted, and he said in surprise and curiosity.
"This... I'm not sure. But I heard from the general that the Shichibukai is an organization that guards the Soul King. Above them, there is the Soul King's bodyguard Zero Squadron. Maybe that person is Zero Squadron. Be part of the team."
Okisuke scratched his head. He didn't know much about the Shichibukai. Mifune only mentioned these words occasionally.
"Then if we go after Battousai now... wouldn't that make the other party angry?"
Some people were a little afraid of the reputation of the Shichibukai, and suddenly wanted to give up. Anyway... Admiral Mifune was fine in the end, wasn't he
"Nonsense!" Okisuke frowned and scolded, "If you are afraid of power and ignore the righteousness, what kind of samurai are you? Himura Kenshin failed to kill him. Even if the crime does not lead to death, he must be captured and treated well. Interrogate!”
Okisuke, who is already in his forties, values these things more than young people, but perhaps it is because he is getting older and has a higher status.
Those with vested interests will always try to maintain the old order unchanged. This is especially true for the Iron Kingdom, which still insists on establishing a country based on samurai in the ninja world where ninjas are popular.
Many warriors lowered their heads in shame. It was obvious that they had also developed fear before. However, this is also normal. After all, if what Okisuke said is true, then they will probably be facing an unreachable mountain.
And even if we don't talk about the mysterious Zero Division, just one Himura Kenshin may not be an enemy they can handle.
Then everyone fell into silence, and no one broke the peace again.
until…
In the distance in the dark night, at the end of the grass and trees, a figure slowly walked out.
He is thin and has red hair. He wears a scabbard on his waist that is very valuable at first sight, and the long knife in the sheath is already unsheathed and held in his hand.
Himura Kenshin!
At this moment, his eyes were fierce, revealing murderous intent, and he was approaching everyone step by step.
"Hmph, are you finally showing your true colors?"
The warriors were all experienced in battles and were ready for battle.
Okusuke held the long sword in his hand and said contemptuously, "Himura Kenshin, although you are strong, have you forgotten that your nickname is Battousai? The most difficult thing for you is your drawing sword, but now Do you want to deal with so many of us now that you have already drawn your sword?!"
However, Kenshin didn't speak, and still approached step by step. The beautifully crafted long knife in his hand reflected the moonlight, revealing the coldness...
Being ignored in this way, as the leader of the samurai, Okisuke was furious and shouted:
"Stop looking down on others!"
He drew the sword in an instant, and the sharp cold light cut through the air, and the whistling wind was cut away, straight to the heart of the sword!
However, despite his slashing, Kenshin just continued to move forward silently, seemingly unresponsive.
The two figures passed each other, and Kenshin continued to move forward. However, a huge blood mark suddenly appeared behind Okosuke who rushed over and was about to swing his sword!
Blood spurted out and swayed in the air. The scarlet red was dyed black in the night. It sprayed into the sky and fell to the ground feebly.
Just like Okisuke himself who rushed over with great momentum but was stunned and didn't know why he failed!
He never imagined that Himura Kenshin would be so fast!
How is this possible? No matter how strong he is, I haven't seen him take action before. Although there is a gap between them, when did the gap become so big? !
He doesn't accept it!
However, this is the fact. Whether he accepts it or not, the truth is that his angry blow is not even qualified to stop Kenshin!
"Strange...monster..."
At this moment, all the samurai felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. To be able to kill Okusuke so easily in seconds, I am afraid that even Mifune Admiral, the strongest samurai in the Iron Kingdom, cannot do it!
They retreated unconsciously. Even though they had a numerical advantage, under this pressure, quantity was nothing!
The man in front of them is a devil!
Kenshin is still moving forward, without saying a word, silent, holding the sword in his hand.
Under this pressure, the warriors knew that they had no way out, so they simply decided to fight for their lives and fight to the last possible limit!
Anyway, if you retreat, giving your back to the opponent is basically equal to death for a swordsman. Now if you fight hard, you may still have a chance of survival!
Dozens of swordsmen showed their murderous weapons and rushed towards Kenshin with low roars. The latter seemed to be captured by the minds of the warriors, and his pace became slower.
The next moment, Kenshin's eyes suddenly moved, and he covered his head with both hands. At this moment, he was confused mentally, angry, and his sword was also confused!
good chance!
Although the samurai didn't know what happened, they also knew that the opportunity at this moment was the best time to capture or even kill Himura Kenshin. If this opportunity was missed, there would be no next time!
Their swords became faster from the previous desperate fight, and no one knew when Himura Kenshin would return to the terrifying appearance before.
At this moment, the Shichibukai and the Zero Division were all forgotten by them!
boom!
However, just as the distance between the two parties became shorter and shorter, balls of flames suddenly appeared in the sky!
It's the ninja's fire escape!
Himura Kenshin actually colluded with ninjas? !
They had never thought about whether the ninja was pretending to be Himura Kenshin to do all this.
After all, although the ninjutsu of a ninja can pretend to be someone else's, the swordsmanship cannot be copied. This is a skill that people have studied for decades of practice!
So, when the ninja showed up, they just thought that Himura Kenshin was in cahoots with the ninja.
Boom boom boom…
They slashed at the fireball with their long knives. After an explosion, they got together again. In the smoke, there was no longer the figure of Himura Kenshin in front of them!
… … …
The stream meanders, the water is clear and shallow, washing between the big rocks and fine sand. Under the moonlight, there is a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
Itachi placed Kenshin on a big stone beside the stream, looked at his frown and closed eyes, and said thoughtfully
"What a demon sword... It can actually control people's minds. Fortunately, Himura Kenshin was determined to fight against him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take him away at that moment... "
After receiving the notice from Nagato, he came to the Kingdom of Iron to look for Kenshin. He found him about half an hour ago.
At that time, Kenshin was about to rest. He put the sword beside him, but when he was about to take it off, his expression suddenly changed and he pulled out the long sword instead.
In Itachi's eyes, an extremely weird mental wave came from the sword at that moment, and then that mental wave assimilated into Kenshin's body.
Then, he walked towards the gathering place of samurai as if he was being controlled...
He observed it for a while and then suddenly took it away at that moment.
He looked at the exquisite long sword and did not touch it carelessly, so he was still in Kenshin's hand—
Even though he was unconscious, Kenshin still didn't let go of the demon sword.
"Has there ever been such a weapon in the ninja world?"
Just when Itachi was curious, the unconscious Itachi struggled to wake up. He looked at Itachi with some confusion and some understanding.
"who are you?"
His voice was cold and guarded
Even if he didn't take action while he was unconscious, it didn't mean that Itachi was definitely not an enemy.
Kenshin is no longer a fledgling child. He is no stranger to various methods in the ninja world, so he will not let down his guard easily.
"You don't have to be like this." Itachi said while still thinking about the demon sword in his mind
"Himura Kenshin, a samurai general of the Iron Kingdom, was wanted for assassinating General Mifune two days ago. And now, do you want to know what happened?"
A trace of pain flashed in Kenshin's eyes, and disappeared the next moment. He replied coldly.
"No, I think I already know what's going on."
He inserted the long sword in his hand into the scabbard, as if to completely seal the demonic sword.
"You must have been manipulated by him for the second time." Itachi didn't care about the cold words in Kenshin's mouth, but said to himself.
"The first time you were manipulated you didn't have any consciousness, but this time you should have a faint feeling, so do you think you can slowly master it?"
Kenshin's pupils narrowed, "Who are you?"
"Itachi Uchiha." Itachi said his name generously, and then said, "However, my current identity is Akatsuki Suzaku."
Uchiha…
A member of the Konoha Uchiha clan
And Akatsuki... Kenshin has heard about this organization, but he only knows that it is a terrorist organization composed of a group of extremely dangerous people. Their specific costumes and codenames Kenshin really don't know...
But these two identities are enough. Kenshin also wants to know what purpose such a person has in finding him.
So he said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to deal with the Iron Kingdom?"
Itachi said directly, "I'll help you solve the problem with this sword. You join Akatsuki."
It was very straightforward, Itachi didn't want to embarrass anyone, and if he didn't want to join the team, he wouldn't force it.
The current Akatsuki is not too short of people, or in other words, as the ninja world is getting stronger and stronger, it does not need too many weak ones.
Himura Kenshin is a rare talent, but that's all. Who among those who join Akatsuki is not a rare talent
Kenshin did not answer the question, but said slowly, "With Xiao's intelligence network, you should know about me. Not long ago, my master appeared in front of me again."
Upon hearing this, Itachi became serious. Of course he had seen what those samurai said before in the file given by Akatsuki, but now it turned out to be true
The matter involves the Shichibukai, Team Zero and the Soul King again, how could Itachi not take it seriously? !
But at this moment, although he wanted to know what happened, Itachi did not speak, but waited for Kenshin to speak.
"This sword is called Muramasa. It is a demon sword. It contains the ancient god named 'God Anubis'. My master told me that if I can fully master it, then I can fully inherit him. mantle."
Kenshin said, "I can feel that Muramasa has his own destiny, and God Anubis also has his own will. I don't know what method you want to use to help me master it, but I don't need it. I will rely on it." He can control Muramasa and God Anubis with his own abilities!"
