Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

The further north you go, the lower the temperature becomes. A few hours later, Kurosaki Ichigo and his party have arrived at the border of Iron Country, more than 100 kilometers away. Snowflakes are falling from the sky.

"Hey, it's snowing." Kurosaki Ichigo stretched out a hand, and the snowflakes fell on his hand, and then melted into little drops of water, leaving only a hint of coolness.

"T-Is it necessary to be so surprised?" Koharu heard Kurosaki Ichigo's words when he went to bed and curled his lips.

Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head and glanced at the corner of Koharu's mouth before nodding: "It's indeed surprising, because I haven't seen snow for a long time before."

After turning to bed, Koharu blushed under Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze and muttered: "What a fuss..."

"Let's take a rest here first, Lord Hashirama." Takayama Morigen stopped and said to Senju Hashirama.

"That's fine." Senju Hashirama raised his head and glanced at the sun. According to calculations, it should be almost twelve o'clock now, so he nodded in agreement.

After hearing Senju Hashirama's words, the ninjas relaxed, while the samurai stood upright until Morigen Takayama turned around and nodded at them with satisfaction before sitting down to rest.

After sitting down, the samurai took off their helmets one after another, revealing their faces. Kurosaki Ichigo looked and found that the young samurai who introduced him to the history of the Kingdom of Iron had long gray hair and a chin. He had a beard and looked about 15 years old.

Feeling Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze, the samurai turned to him and smiled: "Nice to meet you. My name is Abe Mifune. You can just call me Mifune."

"Kurosaki, you can just call me Kurosaki." Kurosaki Ichigo sat on the ground and said while taking out a rice ball.

When Koharu went to bed, she saw Ichigo Kurosaki taking out rice balls and twitched his mouth: "How many rice balls did you bring with you? You have been eating these things these days, right?"

"That's embarrassing." Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Koharu who was sleeping, "Because the military food pills are really unpalatable, I asked Jin Nai to make a lot of rice balls."

"Hmph," Koharu heard Kurosaki Ichigo calling Uchiha Gina's name so naturally when she went to bed, and couldn't help but feel angry and snorted coldly, "Eat yours."

Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned by Koharu's sudden anger, but Koharu didn't give him a chance to react and stood up and walked to the front.

"Are you also a swordsman?" At this time, Mifune sat on the open space left by Koharu, who had moved to bed, and pointed at Mahenge, who was Kurosaki Ichigo.

"That's right..." Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and hesitated before replying.

Mifune seemed to have remembered something and said: "Speaking of which, I remember that there was a ninja from outside. He once practiced swordsmanship with Takanoguchi, the previous generation's master of Hanren Kuanshin. However, it is said that that ninja practiced for a while. After a while, he was driven away and left the Kingdom of Iron because his character did not meet the requirements of the Cold Blade Kenshin Ryu."

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his eyebrows and remembered a person he had met before and said, "Well, is that ninja called Sakaibo?" Half a month ago, he had specifically inquired about the ninja who used sword skills and fought with him. So remember this name.

"Well, the name should be correct," Mifune raised his head and recalled, "Have you seen him before?"

"I fought him once." Kurosaki Ichigo said calmly. Although it was only his shadow clone that fought Sakaibo that time, the terrifying sword skills that seemed to be able to freeze blood still left a very deep impression on him. impression.

"How is his swordsmanship?" Mifune came up curiously, "I have never seen the swordsmanship of Hanren Kenshin-ryu."

Ichigo Kurosaki asked strangely: "Have you never seen it before? Didn't the disciples of Hanblade Kanshin-ryu guarding that ice field take action?"

Mifune nodded: "Yes, there were people who challenged them at the beginning, but because they were ruthless and powerful, no one dared to challenge them gradually."

"So powerful" Kurosaki Ichigo said with doubt on his face.

Mifune said solemnly: "Of course, it is rumored that every generation of Hanren Kenshin denizens since Yagyugawa Kuaishou can understand one of the strongest swordsmanship, Tachi. It is said that this is a curse and a contract. Due to Yan Zongxiang's imagination He wanted to spy on the Temple of Gaotian, so the gods killed him and punished his descendants for guarding the Temple of Gaotian forever, and understanding the Ichi no Tai Sword is also a reward from the gods to those who guard the Temple of Gaotian."

"It sounds like a fairy tale. It's really boring. Are you teasing me out of some bad taste?" Kurosaki Ichigo yawned.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's attitude, Mifune was very angry, so after thinking about it, he made up his mind. He first looked around and found that no one was paying attention to his side, then he moved next to Kurosaki Ichigo and used a small The voice said: "I'm not making this up. Although no one has dared to challenge the successors of Cold Blade Kenshin-ryu for a long time, every general will come to them for a spar after taking office, but each spar is conducted in the dark. , no one knows the specific circumstances and results of the discussion.”

However, Kurosaki Ichigo still looked unbelieving. Mifune was a little helpless and could only change the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. You said you fought against Sakaibo, what was the result?"

"He is very strong, so I must have lost." Ichigo Kurosaki thought for a while and said, "But I didn't see how exquisite his swordsmanship was. I can only say that it is very powerful and consumes a lot of money. And He seemed to go crazy after using those sword skills."

"What? It's not detailed at all," Mifune said disappointedly.

Seeing this, Kurosaki Ichigo twisted his neck and stood up and said, "Okay, I still have some impressions of Sakaibo, so I will just show it to you."

Mifune raised an eyebrow: "Why, do you still know the swordsmanship of Sakaibo?"

Ichigo Kurosaki impatiently lifted Zhenheng and waved it twice: "You only need to see something like that once to have an impression, so it's probably okay to use it to demonstrate it to you." He said it lightly, but I don’t know how amazing it is to be able to demonstrate the opponent’s moves just by watching them once.

"Tch, you talkative guy, I want to see if you are as good as you say."

Mifune jumped up and pulled out his sword. He was not angry, but rather curious about Kurosaki Ichigo. Mifune knew that Kurosaki Ichigo had no need to lie to him, so he wanted to discuss with him and say Such words would only irritate Kurosaki Ichigo.

"What's wrong, Mifune, why are you drawing your sword?"

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo and Mifune were finally noticed by others. Takayama Morigen frowned, stood up in displeasure and asked coldly.

"Morimoto-sama" Mifune's expression changed, and his back immediately straightened up. He had only wanted to compete with Kurosaki Ichigo before, but he had forgotten that this time the leader of the group was Takayama Morigen, who was known for his strictness and arrogance, "I. ..I just want to spar...with this Kurosaki-kun."

"Nonsense," Takayama Morigen scolded, "Kurosaki-kun and the others are guests, how can you use force against them?"

Mifune lowered his head under Takayama Morigen's scolding. Senju Hashirama stood up to help him and said: "It's okay, Morigen. It just so happens that Kurosaki, the kid, can't stay idle either. It's okay to let the two of them compete. Anyway, now is our recess time."

"Hey, I didn't say I wanted to spar with him," Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and sighed.

Senju Hashirama chuckled: "Little...Kurosaki, don't be so heartless. It's not good to always look like this."

Seeing that Senju Hashirama was very supportive of the competition between Mifune and Kurosaki Ichigo, Takayama Morigen nodded to Mifune and said, "Let's stop there."

Mifune's face showed an excited look: "I understand, Mr. Morigen"

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but take a step back when he saw Mifune excitedly holding the knife with both hands: "Hey, hey, don't talk to yourself."

Iai

The cold sword light suddenly reflected Kurosaki Ichigo's face as white as snow, and then a sharp light flashed across Kurosaki Ichigo's chest.

"What a powerful sword technique." Senju Hashirama couldn't help but clapped his hands, "The sword was drawn out in an instant, leaving only the light of the sword without seeing the shape of the sword."

Takayama Morigen's face softened slightly and he said: "Mifune has been learning the Iai way from General Musashi since he was a child. His achievements now are not that great. Mr. Hokage, you praise him too much."

Regardless of the mutual humility from the top management, Mifune sheathed his sword and said seriously to Kurosaki Ichigo: "Why don't you take action yet? Kurosaki, I won't be so merciful next time."

"Looks like I can't escape." Ichigo Kurosaki sighed, then raised his hand slightly to his chest, "Come on, I'll show you Sakaibo's moves."

"I'll wait and see." Mifune smiled slightly and drew his sword out of its sheath.

swish,

The skyrocketing sword light was even stronger than before, and its speed also frightened many people around. Moreover, Mifune drew the sword without any warning, and the angle was equally tricky, tilting towards Kurosaki Ichigo's neck from bottom to top. Flirted up.

Seeing such sword skills, the people around him couldn't help but worry about Kurosaki Ichigo. When Koharu went to bed, he covered his mouth in worry. However, before people's worried expressions could be revealed, Mifune's sword had already approached Kurosaki. Saki Ichigo.

The corners of Mifune's mouth raised higher, thinking that he had already decided the winner. Of course, the most important thing about the Iai way is to switch freely between swinging and sheathing the sword, and to send and receive it as you please, so he was not worried that he would hurt Kurosaki. Ichigo's.

Ding,

At this critical moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's Zhenheng blocked Mifune's sword with a single wave. Then he twisted his right wrist and Zhenheng pointed at Mifune. At the same time, a spinning force appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo. Protect the blade.
