Konoha branch family is really blind

Chapter 43 Sword of the Iron Country
"If you have this awareness, then I don't worry. I will leave the rest to time. You have to watch more and learn more." Yuan Zhimei started a new round of shogi after saying this, the cruel Hinata Masahiko began to feel sour...

Due to the need to take care of Daimyo's feelings, the ninjas couldn't move forward at their speed, so the one-week journey took them nearly three months. Fortunately, they also set off half a year earlier, so there was still plenty of time of.

Their target country of iron is different from the five major countries, and there is no so-called daimyo, and the highest leader is a general.This is because their entire country was established by the most powerful general in the original ancestral country leading loyal subordinates, so the whole country advocates the way of swordsmanship, and ninjas are almost extinct. Negotiations and daily meetings are held here.

The former general of the country of iron just passed away not long ago, and now his beloved disciple, Mifune, is taking over.

Today's Mifune is less than 30 years old, and his strength still has a few years to improve, but looking at the country of iron, he is also the strongest swordsman, so Hinata Masahiko really wants to challenge his kendo.

"Hehe, I have seen that you have become more and more distracted when playing chess recently. I think you must be a swordsman with such a long sword hanging around your waist. And the kendo atmosphere in the Iron Kingdom is the best in the world. You Go, I have so many people protecting me, there is no problem, but remember not to embarrass me."

Hinata Masahiko knew that this was the opportunity Minamoto gave him to perform, but he was still grateful: "Yes, thank you, Daimyo-sama."

As the visit of the fire country daimyo, it was naturally arranged by the iron country general's residence to receive it with the highest standard, so Hinata Masahiko is not far from Mifune's residence.And because he was holding the Land of Fire Daimyo Token, he quickly found his destination.

"Please come in." As Mifune, who once devoted himself to kendo, although he now has more responsibilities to govern the country, he is still very frugal in his daily life. He does not have many servants to serve him, and he has absolute confidence in his own strength. , so he was alone in the main house, and replied when he heard a knock on the door.

After receiving the permission, Masahiko Hinata opened the door and entered, and saw that the whole room was extremely empty, with only simple tatami mats, a tea table and a knife holder for the large items. He had a simple understanding of the owner of these items, Mifune, and then He said calmly: "General Mifune, I am Masahiko Hyuga from the Land of Fire, and I am also one of the members who accompanied us to protect our daimyo this time. Thanks to the benevolence of our daimyo, I was allowed to challenge the powerful swordsmen of your country. I don't know if you can allow it here?"

"Why not? We people in the Iron Country are very fond of swords, but you are so young and you are still a ninja. Although you are definitely not weak to participate in the task of protecting the daimyo, are you also strong in swordsmanship?" Mifune saw. He is only a boy in his teens, so he can't help being a little contemptuous, but after a careful look, he found Hinata Masahiko's difficulty with his proficiency in sword qi, and said: "Young ninja named Hinata Masahiko, your waist Is the sword hanging in the middle really yours? If so, can you show me it?"

"Of course." Hyuga Masahiko said decisively, and then quickly pulled out the third generation of Onitoru from his waist, and an evil sword energy gushed out. Although Hyuga Masahiko still can't control it perfectly, it can be considered barely controlled .

Mifune, who was "stuck" by Sandai Kitoru in the hands of Hinata Masahiko, did not speak for a long time, because he loves swords and knows swords more than swords. The excitement can be imagined, he said tremblingly: "Young man, is this sword of yours the Onitsu series created by the original Onitsu craftsman? However, the first and second generations of Onitsu should have been destroyed by my teacher. What's the matter with you?"

"As expected of the general of the Iron Country, I have really good eyesight. I bought this from a shop in Konoha Village. According to the boss, it was the third and last Onito made by the original Onito craftsman. Oni Toru, but do you mean that you want to destroy it?" Hyuga Masahiko asked.

"Of course not. Since the swordsmen and swords don't belong to my country of iron, our country of iron has no reason to destroy them as a neutral country. And I see that you are sane now, and you are obviously not controlled by it. You will probably use it in the future Let's be more proficient. As for your challenge to the swordsman, I promise you, you go and try it with my subordinates and disciples first, their strength is not bad." Mifune said straightforwardly.

In fact, Hinata Masahiko also knew that he couldn't embarrass himself, and probably he was reluctant to destroy such a good knife, as can be seen from his almost overflowing fanatic eyes.

Then Mifune brought Hinata Masahiko to the kendo field, and he sent someone to call for his two disciples and subordinates—Chongsuke and Rikaku.

The two are now a few years older than Hinata Masahiko, but neither of them is over 20 years old, so it is perfect for a written test with Hinata Masahiko.

"You go first, Lijiao, who told you that you lost to me yesterday, haha." The bald-headed Chongsuke slapped Lijiao's back from behind and pushed him forward.

Rikaku retorted a bit, but thinking that he really lost yesterday, he swallowed his breath and said to Masahiko Hinata: "Boy, I know you are a ninja from Hokage, but I'm not afraid even if you use ninjutsu. You can't lose in the way of the sword."

"Don't worry, I won't use other ninjutsu. This time I came to improve my knowledge of kendo, so I will only use our Konoha's swordsmanship." Hyuga Masahiko said sincerely, and then both sides bent down and bowed to each other This is the etiquette before the kendo competition.

Hinata Masahiko used the dance of the crescent moon that he had already learned. At first, with the help of the two shadow clones, he was caught off guard when he hit the inner corner, but then the offensive gradually weakened, and he was pressed and hit by the inner corner instead.

"You lost, but you only use swordsmanship. If you use other ninjutsu, I guess I can't stand it long ago. I admit that Konoha's swordsmanship is not weak, but that's all." After all, Kakuro is still a young man, so he still has a little pride in his heart, said after defeating Hinata Masahiko.

The somewhat speechless Chongsuke stepped forward to help Hinata Masahiko, then patted the buttocks in the inner corner with the hilt of his sword and said, "What are you so proud of? He was younger than you and almost beat you to the ground before using ninjutsu." Are you ashamed?"
