Chapter 353

Masahiko and Mishima stared at each other for a long time. The situation was extremely awkward.

Samurai's willpower was indeed strong, but Masahiko would never admit defeat.

'I'm at a disadvantage if I keep staring at him like this. Mishima is too ugly, and I feel uncomfortable looking at him. But he's simply enjoying staring at me … 'Masahiko thought to himself.' Looks like I have to think of a way. '

Masahiko pondered for a moment. He quietly condensed the Wind Attribute Chakra on his right hand and formed a weak Wind Spin on his fingertip. With a flick of his finger, a breeze blew toward Mishima's eyes …

Surprisingly, Mishima was able to react. He tilted his head and dodged while his right hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

"You blinked!"

Mishima:???

Masahiko revealed a slight smile, but it quickly disappeared. His expression finally became serious. After fooling around, it was time to get down to business.

"Tell me, what exactly is the matter that angers both men and gods that you even dare to suspect me?"

Mishima slowly lowered his right hand from the hilt of his sword. He pondered for a moment. "I'm sorry, senior. This is definitely not your doing. It's just that the timing of your appearance is too coincidental. Please come with me. "

Masahiko nodded and brought the three children with him as he followed the three boats into his General's Mansion.

Mishima rummaged for a moment and took out a folded map. He unfolded it in front of Masahiko.

"This is a map of the vicinity of the Iron Nation. I wonder which way did you come from, senior."

"The Earth Nation."

Mishima nodded. "As expected. If you set off from the Whirlpool Nation, you might be able to save the innocent people of that nation. "

"Huh?" Masahiko frowned. He searched for a moment on the map and found a nation with a small red cross. "That nation was destroyed?"

Mishima sighed. "I received news yesterday that the nation was completely destroyed."

Masahiko was shocked. "Completely destroyed?"

Mishima nodded to show that it was indeed so.

"Hey, Great Elder, what do you mean by completely destroyed? Could it be … "Xiang Lin's expression turned ugly.

"Ah, that's what you think." Masahiko took a deep breath.

Total annihilation meant that the country had not been annexed by another country, but had been completely slaughtered, from the nobles down to the most ordinary commoners.

This was not something that could be done by a war between nations. it was definitely done by a ninja. But even in the Warring States Period, very few people would do such a thing. What kind of hatred did they have?

After a pause, Mifune continued: "According to the intelligence, there are ninjas who released a large-scale ninjutsu in the country. I have asked Osuke to lead a team to investigate. It is estimated that they will return tomorrow morning. Kan Kuto say, I, Might.

Great amount of!! Masku M.

There are many small countries like this in the vicinity of the Land of Iron. They are under the protection of the Land of Iron. Ninjas rarely appear in these countries.

In today's ninja world, there are still some ninjas who can use large-scale ninjutsu to destroy a country like this. Not to mention others, almost all of them can do it.

Mishima nodded. "This matter will definitely make the people in the surrounding small countries feel threatened. If Osuke can't find anything, I hope that sengoku can help us catch the murderer."

Masahiko's face was full of righteousness. "I will definitely help you!"

Mishima was stunned. He turned his head and said, "Rikaku, arrange a guest room. Sengoku must be tired after such a long journey. It's getting late. Please rest."

Masahiko was helpless. Others didn't believe him. "Don't worry, I will help you investigate this matter. Consider it as a reward for learning Kimimaro's swordsmanship."

Mishima nodded. "Thank you sengoku for your kindness."

Seeing that the samurai named Rikaku had arranged a guest room and was walking over, Masahiko suddenly remembered something.

With a wave of his right hand, the puppet Hanzo appeared in front of them. The light blue enchantment around Hanzo hadn't been removed by Masahiko.

"This is … Hanzo-sama!" Mishima was shocked. He recalled the information he received from the Land of Rain. "He really is no longer in this world."

"Well, not only is he no longer in this world, but his body was turned into a puppet. Now, he is a poisonous person." Masahiko explained. "I remember that you know him. Find someone to bury him. There is no place for him in the Land of Rain."

Mishima took a deep breath and said, "I know, sengoku."

Masahiko nodded, then paused for a moment.

"If I do this, Yahiko will ask the Land of Iron to join the Akatsuki. It will probably be troublesome …"

…

The next day, early morning.

Masahiko took the three children to eat breakfast. A samurai guided them to an open field. Mishima was standing there with a wooden sword in his hand as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Sengoku, I need to test this child's swordsmanship foundation first."

Masahiko turned his head and said, "Kimimaro, you are only allowed to use one bone sword. Don't use any other abilities."

Kimimaro rushed forward, but Mishima was far from being his opponent. Just a light flick of the wooden sword made Kimimaro almost unable to hold the bone sword in his hand.

After a few moves, Mishima increased the strength of the wooden sword, and Kimimaro staggered back to Masahiko's side.

"Just relying on instinct? He still has a lot to learn. "

Masahiko nodded. "That's why I will stay here for about three months. During this time, I will have to trouble you to find someone to teach him swordsmanship, Mishima."

"Three months, barely enough." Mishima replied, "Time is pressing. Before Osuke returns, I will personally teach him some swordsmanship foundation."

Masahiko nodded in satisfaction and patted Kimimaro's shoulder. "Watch carefully and learn well."

"Yes, God!"

Kimimaro learned the basic swordsmanship from Mifune, while Masahiko taught Haku and Xiang Li how to practice.

As time passed, Mishima's face became more and more tense. It wasn't because Kimimaro did something, but because the samurai named Osuke didn't return on time.

It wasn't until noon when the samurai reported that Osuke returned that Osuke was relieved.

Masahiko was also curious about this matter, so he let the three children practice by themselves while he followed Mishima to see the samurai named Osuke.

"Admiral Mishima, this is the young master of the other country, Sho. He was a hostage in this country, so he escaped." Osuke explained the reason for his late arrival and curiously glanced at Masahiko, but he didn't take the initiative to ask.

Masahiko, on the other hand, sized up the young master of the Country of Bi that the samurai had mentioned. He was a six or seven year old pretty boy with two braids on his head and was crying like a weeping beauty.

Masahiko wanted to call Haku over to see who was better. Anyway, Masahiko felt that Haku was slightly better than Osuke.

Thinking about these things, Mishima asked about the situation of the country Osuke.

The samurai shook his head and said, "There are no survivors. The country Osuke didn't seem to be destroyed by multiple ninjutsu, it was more like it was destroyed by a large-scale ninjutsu. The civilians had no chance to escape. It doesn't even look like ninjutsu, it's more like a natural disaster. "

Mishima's face was heavy as he turned to Masahiko.

Masahiko nodded thoughtfully, "Take me to see, there are no more than five people in the world who can destroy a country with ninjutsu. I … probably know who it is."
