Whoosh! In the sky, Susanoo was dispelled.
Lin Yu, Yugao, and Yugao landed on the ground.
Lin Yu looked at Zatoichi in front of him, and his eyes stopped on the three swords on Zatoichi's waist. In his mind, he recalled the conversation with Cape Town half a month ago.
Cape Town said that Zatoichi became a Samurai at the age of ten. Now that he was sixty years old, he had handled many famous swords, and each sword was a stage in his life!
Samurai were good at imbuing Chakra on their swords with superb swordsmanship to hurt the enemy, and the power was unpredictable.
Almost all Ninjas who had reached the level of Jonin could use the same technique freely.
But few people knew that this technique of imbuing Chakra with weapons was divided into two stages!
The first stage was to wrap Chakra around the surface of the weapon to increase its power. Once the Chakra was removed, the weapon would also return to its original characteristics, and there would be no change. Most Samurai and Ninja's mastery of this technique stopped at this stage!
The second stage was to integrate Chakra into the weapon itself, changing the characteristics of the weapon from its essence. In the field of Swordmaster, this process was called 'Forging Sword'!
The birth of a famous sword was not just the completion of the quenching process after it was out of the furnace, but in the hands of a Swordmaster, after years of 'Forging Sword', it could become a world-shocking famous sword!
At that time, Cape Town recalled, "I fought with Zatoichi 40 years ago. At that time, I was already 40 years old, and Zatoichi was just in his early twenties. I remember very clearly that the sword he used was called 'Mikazuki Munechika', and it was the first sword he handled!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu was curious, "Mikazuki Munechika? The profound meaning of Konoha's Swordsmanship, the Dance of the Three Suns and Moons, is it related to this? "
Cape Town said, "Ah … You mean the Swordsmanship created by Nidaime Hokage? When Zatoichi was 15 years old, he visited Konoha as a representative of the Land of Iron. He used his self-created Mitsukita no Tsuki to exchange pointers with Nidaime Hokage's Thunder God's Sword!"
"Although Zatoichi lost in the end, his outstanding swordsmanship left even the Second King Yanluo in awe. He took fragments of Zatoichi's Flow of Three Suns and Moons and combined them with his own Shadow Clone Technique to create the Dance of Three Suns and Moons."
"I see."
"When I was defeated by Titama in Zatoichi, Mikazuki Munechika had yet to be forged into a famed saber. But when I fought him, Mikazuki Munechika had already become a famed saber. I didn't even have time to form a hand seal before victory was decided …"
After so many years, Kakuzu's dark green eyes were still filled with sorrow. It could be seen that the defeat had left a deep impression on him. However, he didn't feel any unwillingness. It could be seen that he was completely convinced of his defeat!
"By the way, you said before that it was the Daimyō of the Waterfall Country who sent Zatoichi to find you? But that was 40 years ago. The age doesn't match! "
Cape Town said, "Ah, I just forgot to say that it was the Daimyō of the Waterfall Country, the father of that pig-headed Daimyō!"
"But why would a person like Zatoichi serve the Daimyō of the Waterfall Country?"
Cape Town said, "At that time, ninjas rose, and samurai declined. As the leader of the Iron Country at that time, Zatoichi worked for the survival of the samurai race and was hired by various countries …"
"But compared to the samurai with a single method, people obviously preferred to hire ninjas who were good at a variety of ninjutsu, had a wide range of uses, and were more loyal to interests. The samurai's situation was difficult."
"In order to change the situation, Zatoichi invited master craftsmen to cast a pair of swords, 'Muramasa' and 'Murasame', and transformed into a two-blade swordsman. They used the Yin and Yang attribute Chakra to forge Muramasa and Murasame respectively."
"After ten years of war, I don't know how many people died under the swords of Muramasa and Murasame. So many that the blades of the two swords were stained with blood! Among the dead, there were ninjas, samurai, and even civilians … "
"Those two swords were forged into 'demon swords', demon swords Muramasa and demon swords Murasame!"
"Because of Zatoichi's efforts, the samurai's predicament was obviously improved, but when he returned to his hometown in glory, his wife and daughter were killed by his enemies!"
"He wanted to find his enemies to avenge his wife and daughter, but he found that his enemies also had wives and daughters … When will revenge end? Zatoichi stood in the heavy snow for three days and three nights, and finally gave up on revenge. After burying his wife and daughter, he abandoned the two demon swords that were extremely murderous in the deep valley. He left Mikazuki Munechika in the Iron Country's Nameblade Hall and destroyed his eyes …"
Lin Yu was surprised, "Did he destroy his eyes on his own?"
Cape Town said, "That represents a kind of determination, the determination to turn a blind eye to all the disputes in this world! But for a samurai, abandoning the sword means abandoning the belief. He was spurned by the samurai of the Iron Country and left his hometown. "
"He had more than one enemy. When they heard that he abandoned the sword and destroyed his eyes, they all sought revenge. Zatoichi was seriously injured and fell in the snow of the Waterfall Country. He was saved by a young man, and that young man … was the famous pig head of the Waterfall Country later."
"Perhaps it was the nature of man at birth that the pig-headed young man didn't ask about Zatoichi's origin and birth, and helped him unconditionally … For a full ten years, Zatoichi didn't pick up a samurai sword again. It seemed that a generation of swordsmen was going to decline just like that."
"But when he was 40 years old, Zatoichi opened the 'Mind's Eye'!"
"Mind's Eye?"
"Ah … a unique power. Although he couldn't see things with his eyes, his heart could perceive the emotions of people and even all things. He could see more clearly and more thoroughly than when he didn't lose his eyes. The samurai soul that had been immersed in it for a long time was stirred again!"
"Coincidentally, the death of the Waterfall Country's Daimyo happened, and there was no successor. It was another unpredictable battle for the throne! The young man who saved him back then was no longer naive and pure. It turned out that he already knew about Zatoichi's origin, and was waiting for an opportunity. He used all his wealth to forge two treasured swords, Autumn Water and Hell Demon, and gave them to Zatoichi. He also knelt in front of Zatoichi and promised that after he became the Daimyo, he would treat the people of the Waterfall Country well! "
"Zatoichi used those two treasured swords to help Pig Head ascend to the position of Daimyo. That Daimyo did indeed fulfill his promise at first and promoted benevolent governance … Zatoichi walked around as a righteous hero, using the water and fire attributes to forge Autumn Water and Hell Demon respectively. Ten years later, he forged another two treasured swords. That was when Zatoichi was 50 years old."
"I don't know what happened after that. Zatoichi lived in seclusion. His name occasionally appeared in the streets, but it was forgotten by the public. He was the God of Samurai, and only a few people remembered him. Those who had personally experienced that powerful fellow are no longer in this world. I also only heard recently that he held an important position in the Country of Darkness, but I didn't expect that he would be the Country's Protector General … In short, Shadow, I hope you don't underestimate him!"
Returning from his thoughts, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed.
The Mikazuki Sect was close to the Iron Country's Famed Blade Hall. Demon Blade Muramasa and Demon Blade Murasame had both been abandoned in the deep valley.
At this moment, there were three swords hanging from Zatoichi's waist. Two of them should be the famed swords – Autumn Water and Hell Demon!
As for the third one … he didn't know where it came from! He was now in his sixties. Presumably, the third sword must be related to the blank decade that Cape Town didn't know about. It must be an earth-shattering famed sword!
"Jie Jie … Brother-in-law doesn't have to deal with this old man. Let me deal with him!" At this moment, Xi Yan took the initiative to volunteer. The killing intent on her body rose, and she was about to turn into lightning!
However, she saw Zatoichi's big hand gently holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Whoosh!
The scene suddenly changed. Like an ink painting, countless splash-ink sword energy wreaked havoc on Xi Yan's body!
"Xi Yan!!!" Xi Yan's beautiful face turned pale. Lin Yu pressed on her shoulder. "Don't panic!"
Zatoichi released the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
The scene returned to normal!
Thump!
Xi Yan was unscathed, but she collapsed in exhaustion. Her hands supported her body on the ground, and her shoulders were trembling. "I can't elementalize … Damn blind old man! What demonic technique did you use just now?! "
Zatoichi said calmly, "Your killing intent was too heavy, and I unconsciously attacked. Don't worry, it was just an illusory sword intent attack, but the other two seemed to be able to sense it. Presumably, it's because of the Sharingan …"
Lin Yu sighed. "I didn't expect … that a person like you was hidden in the small Waterfall Country. Xi Yan, take Xi Yan and retreat further away. Next, let me deal with the world's strongest swordsman!"
