Two samurai pulled out their long swords and blocked the way out of the slums.
The sharp long swords that were forged from fine iron were pointed at Aoyama. The samurai that were tasked to guard Hualien and her brother did not act rashly. They felt that Aoyama was not easy to deal with, or perhaps, they did not have full confidence in dealing with him, because just by looking at his attire, they could tell that he was not simple.
Wearing an exquisite aqua blue colored robe, a Hyorinmaru on his waist, and a head full of white hair, Aoyama had always been a very conspicuous person. Even if he had received the education of [Roots], he still did things his own way, and he did not have the low-key and secretive nature of a [Roots] ninja.
Thus, the two samurai stared at Aoyama with vigilance and did not rush to make a move. The strength of Aoyama was one thing, but from the looks of it, Aoyama's identity was also not simple. This caused the two samurai to have fear in their hearts. If Aoyama was a noble family's disciple that came out to play, they would not dare to provoke him. Thus, the two samurai could only release a signal, and a pigeon soared into the sky.
"Takumi … Can I call you that?" Ignoring the samurai's question, Aoyama slightly tilted his head and asked for the youngster's opinion.
Raising his head, Takumi went into a daze and did not react for a moment. Shouldn't we be dealing with the samurai that are blocking the way right now? Why is he suddenly talking to me again? However, after hesitating for a few seconds, he still gave a reply.
"Yes."
"Very good, Takumi, now look carefully, what exactly is strength?" Aoyama smiled slightly, and his cold gaze swept across the samurai in front of him.
"Wind Release · Shuriken."
Two shurikens instantly flew out from his fingers, wrapped in a cyan colored wind blade, and like two huge windmills, the two shurikens were pushed out horizontally, easily cutting the two samurai in half. Blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing high up into the air and then sprinkling on the ground.
Aoyama had many ways to get rid of these two samurai, but he chose the most bloody way. The sight of blood gushing out made his heart tremble slightly. It was a feeling of joy.
She couldn't help but recall Danzō's comment that he was suitable for rooting. This was what Danzō had said when he was arguing with the Three Generations. Aoyama used to scoff at this comment, thinking that the old man was just boasting, purely to argue with the Three Generations. Only now did Aoyama start to believe that perhaps he really was suitable for rooting.
Because from the very beginning, Aoyama didn't have any qualms about killing people. He might have felt a little hesitant before he killed someone, but when he actually did it, he didn't hesitate at all. Killing people didn't seem to burden him at all.
The smell of blood spread out, and the people who were watching the show disappeared without a trace. Tomi's golden eyes reflected the broken bodies of the warriors. There was no fear, no disgust. Instead, there was a little bit of joy and desire.
Even Hualien, who seemed to be very timid, didn't show any discomfort at the bloody scene in front of her. She just looked a little absent-minded. It seemed that she was familiar with this kind of bloody scene.
"This is power, the power to kill." Aoyama stepped on the red ground, and in the shallow pool of blood, a little ripple splashed out.
Aoyama stared at Tomi's eyes and said word by word, "Do you see? Power is such a simple thing. In this world, the power to kill is the only thing you can rely on to survive. Status, power, and money are also power, but compared to the power to kill, they are still a little bit weaker. You should understand what I mean. "
Both Tomi and Tomi showed a painful expression, especially Tomi, when he heard Aoyama's words, he couldn't help but nod. Indeed! Status and power are things that are easy to lose, and once you lose them, you will be at the mercy of others.
Aoyama took the silent Tomi and Tomi away, leaving a trail of bright red footprints, and disappeared at the end of the road.
"Captain, Yuichi and Shiro were killed, it should be a ninja." After a long while, a samurai who came first was shocked, looking at the four parts of the body on the ground, he shouted loudly.
A burst of footsteps sounded, and thirteen samurai with swords came up. Looking at the bodies of their companions on the ground, they all showed a sad expression. In this world, samurai were declining, and they were all from the same sect, so they were usually very united. At this time, seeing the death of their fellow disciples, how could they not be sad?
"Captain, these are the two shurikens I found, the enemy is a good fighter, he easily killed Yuichi and Shiro." The samurai who came first found two shurikens and handed them to the samurai with two swords at his waist.
The middle-aged warrior with two swords and a determined face looked at the two ordinary shurikens and threw them away. His eyes became cold as he glanced at his subordinates whose eyes were red with anger.
"I don't care who he is, since he killed Yuichi and Shiro, then we will make him pay the price, not to mention that we have Ono sama's orders, if there is a mistake, we will be kicked out, so kill that ninja."
The cold tone with a strong killing intent, the words of the middle-aged samurai made the samurai's blood boil, and they shouted to kill the bastard ninja who dared to kill their brothers.
The samurai's blood was boiling, but the middle-aged samurai who was the captain still remained calm, he commanded his subordinates to catch a few beggars and idlers around, and asked about Aoyama's appearance, then he took his men to chase after him.
Ono Yuzaburo was a noble with a high status in the surrounding hundreds of miles. In the entire Waterfall Country, he was considered a powerful noble. His residence was quite majestic, built on the top of a small hill, overlooking the town.
Walking on the bluestone mountain road, there were rows of cherry trees planted on both sides. Unfortunately, it was not the blooming season of cherry blossoms, otherwise, the scenery here would be very beautiful. Aoyama secretly praised, then took Hualien and Shiro to walk up the mountain towards the luxurious residence.
As Aoyama and Hualien walked, they left light red footprints on the bluestone mountain road, the color was so light that it was almost invisible, but the smell of blood still lingered.
"Are you really sure? Ono has a lot of samurai under his command, those two just now were just the lowest ranking samurai. "Takumi was a little nervous, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people who are stronger than me in this world, but in this small place, no one can be my opponent. Of course, it is better to be safe than sorry, if there is really such a troublesome enemy, I will leave you and run." Aoyama said with a smile.
"Eh?"
Hualien Takumi's complexion became pale, he stopped walking and stared at Aoyama's back view. This answer is a bit too honest, isn't it? Hualien Tong, on the other hand, was able to tell that Aoyama was joking, and compared to her brother, she was a lot calmer.
"I am lying to you, Takumi, you are too gullible, you should learn from your sister, don't believe others so easily." Aoyama turned around and smiled, then cast her gaze towards the bluestone mountain road.
"Someone is chasing after us, the two of you come behind me." Aoyama took a step out and stood in front of Takumi and Tong, then stared at the mountain road that they were walking on.
Hearing Aoyama's words, Takumi was startled, he stretched out his hand and grabbed onto his sister's hand, then carefully retreated a few steps and hid behind Aoyama's back. His heart was beating like a drum, I hope that Aoyama is really that formidable, if not, what if the joke just now comes true … Takumi didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Very quickly, light footsteps could be heard, 14 samurai had caught up to them, and they were shouting aggressively while staring fiercely at Aoyama and Hualien.
