People in Hokage, start as Tachibana Ukyo

Thousands of meters away from Tahara Castle, there is a barren mountain covered with snow all year round.

There is no human habitation around the barren hills.

There are occasional wildlife sightings, but they quickly disappear.

In a relatively hidden place, there is a cave that is glowing with wisps of fire.

Amano sat casually in front of the fire, adding dry wood to the fire from time to time.

There was an iron pot on the fire, and the tempting aroma came out from the iron pot from time to time, and soon spread.

The tangy aroma fills the whole cave, making people feel like they are in a gourmet city.

Not far from Amano, the knife was lying there quietly.

All the injuries on his body have been healed by Amano.

At first, the weak breathing gradually became stronger, and then remained in a relatively stable state.

Apart from his being in a bit of a mess right now, he really couldn't see any signs of injury.

If people who don't know the truth see the appearance of the knife at this time, they will probably only think that he is asleep, and they will never think that not long ago, this sturdy man almost lost his life.

Perhaps it was because the fragrance permeating the entire cave was so enticing that the drowsy Dai Dao gradually showed signs of waking up.

He sniffed it suddenly, opened his closed eyes suddenly, and his eyes fell on the hanging iron pot involuntarily.

The tempting aroma he smelled just now came from the iron pot.

Under the continuous roasting of the flame, the aroma in the iron pot seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

That mellow taste undoubtedly aroused the glutton in Dai Dao's body.

He couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva with the knife, and his unsatisfied stomach also growled at this time, making "gurgling" sounds from time to time, as if reminding him that it was time to eat.

"you're awake!"

Suddenly, Amano's voice rang in his ears.

It was only then that he came back to his senses with the knife, and he turned his gaze to Amano who was on the side.

The eyes of the two men met.

Looking at Amano's star-like eyes with a knife, his heart trembled slightly.

From the young man in front of him, he felt as if he saw the boundless starry sky.

That profound and vast temperament shocked him extremely.

This is the first time I have seen a young man with such a temperament with a knife, and looking at the young man's attire, he seems to be a samurai as well.

If I remember correctly with the knife, this young man was the one he met before he fell into a coma.

I remember at that time, bringing the knife reminded the young man to let him go.

Unexpectedly, not only did the young man not leave, but he seemed to have saved him.

"You saved me?"

He looked at Amano with a knife, with a hint of gratitude on his face.

Amano smiled lightly and jokingly said, "Who else do you think besides me?"

"Thank you for saving your life!"

Standing up quickly with a knife, he solemnly thanked Amano.

"Don't do that!"

Amano waved his hand, then pointed to the broth in the iron pot with his finger, and said with a smile, "Do you want to try it?"

Daidao had long been salivating over the delicacies in the iron pot, and was invited by Amano, without the slightest hint of coddling, he scooped a bowl for himself right away.

The two ate like this.

Eat and talk.

Amano also learned why he was hunted down through dictation with a knife.

It turned out that the warriors who chased and killed him just now were all from the Hojo clan in Tianyuan Castle.

This family took a fancy to the younger sister Xiangling with a knife, and arrested his younger sister, saying that they would sacrifice it to Lord Muramura.

In order to save his sister, he fights with a samurai of the Hojo clan with a sword.

Although his strength is good, facing the siege of many Hojo warriors, he gradually struggled.

Then, he broke through the siege and escaped.

However, the samurai of the Hojo clan obviously didn't want to let him go, and came chasing and killing him all the way.

If he hadn't just bumped into Amano, even if he didn't die, he would be captured by the Hojo clan's warriors.

At that time, what awaits him is also a dead end.

Fortunately, I was lucky with a knife. I ran into Amano, and was rescued by Amano. I was lucky enough to save my life.

Amano looked at the knife with a gloomy face, and his mind moved slightly.

The purpose of his coming to the Iron Country this time is to find an extremely cold place to comprehend [The Force of Frost].

Although he has a map of the Iron Country in his hand, Amano doesn't know the real extremely cold place.

If there is a native of Iron Country as a guide, it should be easier for Amano to find the so-called extremely cold place.

Thinking of this, Amano asked Dai Dao, "Da Dao, are you familiar with the Iron Country?"

"Familiar! Of course I am familiar!" Nodding with a knife, the whole person seemed to be lost in memory, "I followed Master to many places in the Iron Country. It can be said that my footprints have been left everywhere in the Iron Country. If Your Excellency If you want to go somewhere, I can show you the way, but I have to rescue my sister first!"

When he said this with a knife, his eyes were extremely firm.

As for Amano's title, he made a decision after changing into Tachibana Ukyo's appearance.

In the future, Amano will act under the name "Tachibana Ukyo" when operating in the Iron Country.

Now that Amano is dead on the bright side, let him disappear completely.

Amano didn't want to make the major ninja villages focus on him again just because of a name.

"Bring a knife, how about we make a deal?" Amano's voice sounded again.

"What deal?" Dao looked at Amano suspiciously.

"As long as you promise to be my guide, I can help you save your sister!"

Amano looked at the knife with a serious expression on his face.

"Really?" There was a hint of joy on the face with the knife.

Not long ago, a samurai from the Hojo clan hunted down the man with a sword and attacked Amano before he fell into a coma.

Today, Amano is standing here perfectly.

As for the Hojo samurai who attacked Amano, they didn't see them with their knives, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Just because Amano rescued him from the encirclement of those Hojo warriors, it can be seen that Amano must have extraordinary strength.

With Amano's help, the chances of saving his sister Xiangling with a knife will undoubtedly increase greatly.

He has no reason to refuse!
Looking at the excited smile on the downcast Dai Dao's face, Amano nodded slightly.

"Okay! As long as His Excellency Youjing helps me rescue my sister, I am not only willing to be His Excellency Youjing's guide, but even if I sell my life to Your Excellency Youjing, I am willing!" When he said this with a knife, his face was extremely solemn. It turns out he wasn't joking.

"Don't do that!"

"Your Excellency, the iron country samurai promises the most, this is my promise to you, whether you agree or not, I will do it!"

Looking at the look of admitting death with a knife, Amano couldn't say much.

After a rest, the two of them prepared to leave for Tianyuan City.

at this time.

Inside Tahara Castle.

The residence of the Hojo clan.

The lights were already brightly lit, and there were patrolling warriors everywhere.

The further you go in, the greater the intensity of the patrol.

Wanting to invade the Hojo clan's mansion without anyone knowing it is undoubtedly a dream.

Of course, this is only for general enemies.

If the visitor has special abilities like Amano, these patrolling samurai alone cannot be foolproof.

Deep in the mansion is the forbidden area of ​​the Hojo clan.

There is enshrined Mr. Murasame of the Hojo clan, who is also the object of the Hojo clan's preparation for sacrifice.

The contemporary head of the Hojo clan, Yuichi Hojo, is kneeling in front of a shrine.

However, what is enshrined in this shrine is not a statue of a god, but a sword that is blood-red in color.

The long sword made a low trembling sound from time to time, and at the same time exuded a compelling killing intent.

This killing intent is so strong that it seems to be able to affect people's minds.

Hojo Yuichi knelt in front of the shrine, his expression extremely painful, as if he was under great pressure.

"Master Murrayu, calm down, the sacrifices will be assembled soon, and then you can have a full meal..."

As soon as Hojo Yuichi's voice fell, Tachi, who was already restless, suddenly quieted down.

Hojo Yuichi wiped the sweat from his forehead, saluted respectfully, and then left the room.

After leaving the room, Hojo Yuichi's expression changed, and his whole person began to change obviously.

He changed his submissive appearance just now, and a majestic expression began to appear on his face, and his every move showed his identity as the hero of the Hojo clan.

Just then, there was a loud noise from the courtyard not far away.

Hojo Yuichi frowned on the spot, and ordered to the guard beside him, "Go and see what happened?"

"Yes!"

Not long after the guard had left, a burst of fire shot into the sky.

"It's on fire, put out the fire!"

"Quick, quick, bring the water!"

"Don't be dazed, put out the fire!
……

Looking at the flames soaring into the sky, Hojo Yuichi's entire face immediately sank.

"I'd like to see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"

Throwing down these words angrily, Hojo Yuichi didn't hesitate much, and even rushed towards the burning courtyard.
