Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

The next day, around nine o'clock in the morning, Kurosaki Ichigo took Nariko to the Tsui Gorge that Kakuzu said.

Although the name is Doi Gorge, it is actually a valley. At this time, the surging river with white water splashing under the valley is roaring and flowing southward. The rumbling sound of the water is clear even from the canyon. Audible.

"This...it's so high here..." Nariko stood on the edge of the cliff of the valley and looked down. She could almost see a few faint white clouds floating in the valley, and she couldn't help but smile. Bai just glanced at it and immediately retracted his head, "If you fall, you will definitely die miserably."

"It won't be miserable, because you will lose consciousness in an instant, and be reduced to pieces by the huge force, and then be sucked into the rapids without leaving any traces. How about it? Do you feel better?" Hu couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he looked at Nali who was following behind him and still looked frightened.

Naliko pursed her lips: "Are these words of comfort to you? Everyone will become more frightened after hearing what you say."

"Then why don't you come here quickly and stay next to the cliff? Come on, we will be there soon." Kurosaki Ichigo accused mercilessly.

"Ha" Naliko said loudly and somewhat discouraged, "How far is it still? You told me so an hour ago, but after walking for so long, you still haven't arrived yet."

"It's right over there" Kurosaki Ichigo pointed impatiently into the distance as he walked over.

Naliko looked in the direction of Kurosaki Ichigo's finger, and she saw a black line in the distance that was only the size of a hair, looming in the clouds and mist, connecting the two sides of the valley.

"Is this the Long Bridge you mentioned? It looks so far away." In order to clearly see the black line representing the long bridge, Naliko's whole delicate face wrinkled, and she used her hands to fight. A pavilion was built in front of me, but all these efforts failed to make the black line clearer.

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo had already walked up to Nariko, grabbed her hand in front of her eyes, and dragged her away from the edge of the cliff. At the same time, he explained to Nariko: "Yes, speaking of this, the Toi Bridge The origin of the sword is still somewhat mysterious. I have seen it in the family secret collection. It is said that the ancestor of the ninja, the Six Paths Sage, once traveled to the mainland for training as a young man. This place is not called the Kingdom of Sichuan, but small tribes that are enclosed by valleys and mountains."

At this time, the large amount of ninja materials and legends that Kurosaki Ichigo had read in order to find a way to return to the original world came in handy. Nari, who is still a little girl at heart, couldn't help hearing the stories told by Kurosaki Ichigo. Somewhat fascinated, I forgot to complain about being tired, and just listened to Kurosaki Ichigo's story while being pulled by him to continue on my way.

"Sennin of the Six Paths' act of selfless devotion moved Niwa Takaki, the leader of the most powerful tribe among the small tribes in the Kingdom of Kawa at that time, so he gave up the leadership of the tribe and decided to become a follower of the Sage of Six Paths and follow him to establish The fetters in people’s hearts lead to embarking on the path of seeking the truth.”

"What happened next?" Naliko was fascinated and asked immediately after Kurosaki Ichigo finished a description.

"Later..." Kurosaki Ichigo swallowed a sip of saliva to moisten his throat and continued, "Later, the Six Paths Sage and Niwa Takaki built a bridge in Kawa no Kuni so that various tribes could communicate with each other. However, they However, his behavior aroused the suspicion of another powerful tribal leader Mizutani Chuan. He believed that the Six Paths Sage wanted to open up roads to various places and then attract outside troops to conquer this land, so he ordered the Six Paths Sage and Niwa Takaki to be killed. Several of the followers followed and were all arrested. The Immortal of Six Paths abided by his creed of not using power beyond ordinary people and was captured without mercy, but the behavior of the Immortal of Six Paths made Mizutani even more suspicious, so he insisted on executing the Immortal of Six Paths regardless of the advice and opposition of his subordinates. and his followers."

"Ah, this person named Mizutani Chuan is so abominable and ungrateful that even a good person like the Sage of Six Paths must be killed." Nariko looked worried for the ancients. She didn't realize that the two of them were gradually approaching their destination, Tsui. The shadow of the bridge was also clearly visible and getting closer, but he couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next? Did the Sage of Six Paths finally use his power to teach that Mizutani River a lesson?"

"How is it possible? Sage of Six Paths is a very principled person." Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and objected.

"Is it because the former subordinates of Niwa Takaki and other followers came here, and then wiped out Mizutani River's tribe and saved these people?" Nariko continued to ask.

"No." Kurosaki Ichigo's answer was more straightforward this time.

"Then... that... that means Mizutani Chuan's subordinates betrayed him and helped the Six Paths Sage and others to escape." Nali continued to guess without giving up, but immediately rejected her previous guess, "No, no, it should be Shui Guchuan." Mizutani's subordinates were dissatisfied with his behavior, so they rebelled and overthrew Mizutani, right?"

Kurosaki Ichigo smiled but shook his head.

Naliko said discouragedly: "Ah, couldn't it be that Mizutani suddenly realized his conscience and released the Sage of Six Paths and started to follow him? This plot is too cliche."

"Of course not," Kurosaki Ichigo continued to deny, "Forget it, let me tell you. Mizutani Chuan decided to inflict the most terrible fire torture on the Six Paths Sage and his party. On the day of execution, just when the fire was lit, suddenly The heavy rain from the sky extinguished all the flames, and the people in the tribe believed that this was a sign from heaven, indicating that the Immortal of Six Paths was a great sage recognized by the gods, and asked Shuituguchuan to release all the Immortal of Six Paths and his followers."

"Ha, then Mizutani Chuan was so scared that he let the Sage of Six Paths go." Nariko laughed heartily, as if she had seen Mizutani Chuan's embarrassed smile.

"It's not that simple." Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Nariko, as if to say don't use your weak IQ to guess my story, which made Nariko's fair little face blush with anger. He said loudly: "Then what will happen next?"

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat and continued: "Ahem, even though Mizutani Chuan's subordinates tried their best to persuade him, Mizutani Chuan still firmly believes in his guess, well, it's almost the same as you."

"Speak more seriously," Nariko glared at Kurosaki Ichigo angrily and pinched his arm lightly.

Nari didn't use any strength, so Kurosaki Ichigo just smiled and continued: "Next, Mizutani Chuan, who did not believe in evil, sentenced the Sage of Six Paths three more times. One was exile, which was to tie the person to a stone. Then he threw it into the rushing river down the valley, but as soon as the Six Paths Sage fell into the river, he immediately floated to the surface and stayed where he fell.

"Suitani Chuan failed again and used tiger torture. He tied up the Immortal of Six Paths in a cage containing several tigers that had been starved for three days. Who would have thought that the three tigers with red eyes from starvation would behave well after seeing the Immortal of Six Paths? She had to fall asleep next to him like a kitten.

"The frustrated Mizutani finally resorted to tree torture. At that time, there were many large trees tens of meters high in the Kingdom of Sichuan. Mizutani tied up the Sage of Six Paths and hung him to the top of the tree. Then he cut off the rope and tried to throw the Sage of Six Paths to death. As a result, just when he was about to land, the Immortal of Six Paths was supported by a gust of wind and landed smoothly, unscathed."

"Wow, Immortal of Six Paths is so awesome." Nariko was obviously stunned by Immortal of Six Paths's tricks. She couldn't think of any other way to sigh other than being a salted fish who only shouted 666.

"In view of the failure of these executions and the repeated advice from his subordinates, Mizutani was shaken, but he was still suspicious, so he put forward the conditions for releasing the Sage of Six Paths, which was to build a bridge in the most dangerous Noboribetsu Valley. At that time The reason why the Noboribetsu Valley is called this is because it is impossible to climb over it. Ordinary people will not climb up here. Once you climb up here, it means you want to commit suicide and die. The mission of the Six Paths Sage is to build a bridge across this valley. Of course he succeeded in the end, and his work was the Toi Bridge."

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo pointed at the Dui Bridge that was already in front of him: "After this bridge was built, in order to commemorate the great achievements of the Six Paths Sage, it was named Dui Bridge, and this Noboribetsu Valley is also Then it was renamed Toikyo.”

"Ah, does this bridge have such a beautiful legend?" Nariko ran a few steps with a hint of curiosity and nostalgia to the front of Dujing Bridge. This is a bridge made of wood with a width of nearly 10 meters and a length of nearly one kilometer. The bridge is almost five or six meters thick at the base alone. It has stood on the top of the valley after thousands of years of wind and rain. If the legend of the Six Paths Immortal had not been spread, one would really have to wonder who this is from the sky. The work of the gods.

"Mizutani River unified this area through the bridge built by Rokudo Sage and established the country of Sawa. However, due to the tyranny of his descendants, Niwa Ike, a descendant of Niwa Takaki who followed Rokudo Sage and left, returned to this country and overthrew the country. The rule of the Mizutani clan.”

Ichigo Kurosaki followed up and explained to Nariko, and took Nariko to the bridge. Although the bridge deck under his feet was made of wood, the sound of the collision was like steel, and Nariko couldn't help but rush there. Very novel.

Seeing Nariko's eyes, Kurosaki Ichigo understood what she was thinking, so he smiled and said: "This is the iron fairy wood made by the legendary Six Paths Sage, which is as hard as steel..."

But before Kurosaki Ichigo finished speaking, he saw the figure of a man standing on the bridge in the distance. He stopped talking and said loudly to the figure, "Hey, Kakuto, it's not too late for me to come. "
