Naruto: Starting with Dual Kamui

On this day, Mifune, the samurai leader of the Iron Kingdom, visited the Hidden Ninja Kingdom all the way and asked to see Zatoichi. After getting Yu Huang's permission, the former master and apprentice met.

Decades later, the two couldn't help but reminisce about old times. After reminiscing, Mifune removed the plate armor from his chest, revealing his scarred chest. A brand new knife wound separated the other old scars, which were deep enough to reach the bone, which was particularly conspicuous.

"" Although Zatoichi can't see things with his eyes, his mind's eyes are clear and clear: "Is this aura Mikazuki Sect close?"

Mifune said in a solemn tone: "Miyamoto is back. Not only did he take away your Mikazuki Munechika, he also tried to get his hands on your demon sword."

Muramasa, Murasame, and Zatoichi forged two swords when they were just three years old. That was the age when Ichi, the god of samurai, had the most murderous and violent spirit. The two swords took away countless lives. The murderous spirit and violence of the sword holder Rage, the obsession and resentment of the murdered person, entangled in the sword, eventually turned into a vicious demon sword

It is said that the black sword is the strongest sword.

But the demon sword is an evil sword

The evil energy emanating from the blade will confuse your mind if you get close to it. If you touch it directly, you will be swallowed up by evil thoughts and turn into a murderous demon.

After the death of his wife and daughter, Zatoichi lost all hope. In order to prevent the demon sword from being acquired by someone with evil intentions, he did not leave it in the famous sword palace of the Iron Country, but abandoned it in the deep valley.

The place where Zatoichi abandoned the Demonic Sword was called Netherworld Valley. It was a dangerous place that the leaders of the Iron Kingdom did not dare to approach.

It is said that Netherworld Valley is more dangerous than Hell Valley. It is shrouded in black mist all year round. No one who enters that black mist can come out alive.

It is said that the black mist will only completely dissipate on every blood moon day, but you can enter safely. Once the blood moon passes, the black mist will cover you again. If you fail to come out in time, you will be sucked into the darkness. You can do whatever you want. Even the power of the heavens cannot come back.

The so-called blood moon day is a total lunar eclipse, which occurs once a year and is extremely short.

The whites of Zatoichi's eyes were split and he looked at the ceiling: "Counting the time, it's almost the day of the blood moon. Is Miyamoto prepared?"

Mifune said: "Master and disciples know that you are a reclusive person. I am here to say hello to you. The Iron Kingdom has full authority to deal with the issue of the one-armed sword. However, if an unexpected situation occurs, I hope you can Be prepared.”

Zatoichi said: "Ah, then I'll trouble you."

Mifune stood up and looked at the blind old man in front of him with confusion. He couldn't figure out why the former samurai god would devote himself to the country of ninjas, but he never asked.

As an old man, he has his own considerations. Mifune sighed softly in his heart and bowed solemnly to Zatoichi: "Master, please take care of yourself and leave me."

The next day, in the Yuhuangcheng dojo, Zatoichi held a bamboo sword in his hand, standing still.

Xiaoxue wore a snow-white swordsman's robe, her purple hair was combed into a single ponytail, hidden in the back collar, and the slanted bangs in front of her forehead covered her right eye.

"Teacher Zatoichi, please give me some advice." After Xiaoxue saluted as a swordsman, he stretched out his hand and grasped the delicate handle of Xiaoxue's sword at his waist.

This posture, Iai.

Iai is a sword-drawing technique that kills the enemy at the moment the sword is drawn.

It seems simple, but it requires a lot of practice to master. Xiaoxue has only practiced this Iai move since she became a disciple of Zatoichi.

"Huh" she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Ninjas who use swords may not be so particular, but samurai who specialize in sword skills have advanced breathing techniques, a technique that can enhance concentration and control to the extreme.

唰

The moment he opened his eyes, Xiaoxue's figure disappeared.

Ding

The delicate sword light flashed straight. Xiaoxue was already behind Zatoichi, frozen in the posture of wielding the sword. The wind blew her waves, and her eyes were filled with kaleidoscope patterns.

嗡

The bamboo knife used to block in Zatoichi's hand buzzed and trembled. After a few seconds of banging, the lower edge fell off and the break was neat.

The corner of his stubble-covered mouth evoked a happy smile: "You can teach a child."

"Huh" Xiaoxue breathed out, slowly sheathed Xixue, wiped the sweat on her pretty face, turned around and said: "Teacher, it's you who accepted the offer."

There were four other people watching near the dojo.

Naruto and Sasuke.

Hinata behind Naruto, Sakura next to Sasuke.

Sakura said disapprovingly: "Just cutting off a bamboo, is it worth making such a fuss?"

What do you know, Sasuke, the frog in the well, expressed his disdain for Sakura's short-sightedness.

He stared at Zatoichi with a pair of Sharingan eyes, and quietly clenched his palms: Yuki's movement of the sword was not caught by my Sharingan. Such a swift and violent sword blow, the blind old man actually blocked it with a bamboo sword, and chopped it off. The power did not affect him at all, and he obviously kept his hands on who it was.

Naruto also sighed: "I didn't expect that Yuki's swordsmanship would be so superb after not seeing each other for a short time. Hinata, how did that uncle come to be Yuki's swordsmanship teacher?" He asked Hinata.

Sasuke also looked at Hinata.

"Naru, Naruto-kun, I also heard from Yuki that the uncle called Zatoichi is known as the god of warriors. He once fought with his father and never lost." The father Hinata mentioned was the father. Referring to Lin Yu, she is now Lin Yu's goddaughter.

"What?" Naruto exclaimed: "Can you compete with Uncle Shadow?"

Sasuke was shocked: Can that blind old man fight against the shadow monster with only a knife?

In the lounge after finishing the guided practice.

Yuki was sitting on the futon, communicating with Zatoichi.

"Teacher Zatoichi, yesterday I heard from my father that the samurai leader of the Iron Country came to you and mentioned a man named Miyamoto the One-Armed Swordsman, and he seemed to be trying to harm you. Who is that One-Armed Swordsman?"

If it were anyone else, Zatoichi would definitely not want to mention these past events, but he regarded Xiaoxue as half a daughter, and he did not shy away from it: "The great warrior who was as famous as me in the Iron Kingdom came from the same sect as me, so he can be regarded as my junior brother. .”

Xiaoxue was surprised: "Junior brother, do you also have a master?"

Zatoichi smiled lightly: "Of course, samurai swordsmanship comes from the same line. If you don't get the guidance of a famous teacher, how can you enter the palace? My teacher was once a powerful swordsman named Yojimbo Sanjuro. He also forged many famous swords in his life. .”

Xiaoxue murmured in her mind: What a weird name.

She asked: "Compared with the teacher's teacher, who is more powerful?"

A pun from the city said: "A samurai has the highest honor of cultivating disciples who surpass themselves. Teacher Yojimbo deserves this honor."

In other words, is Zatoichi-sensei more powerful? The implication of the teacher's words is that he also wants to train me to be a person who surpasses him in swordsmanship. I must practice diligently and not live up to the teacher's expectations.

Xiaoxue asked again: "Then why did your junior brother Miyamoto turn against you?"

Shi Weiluo said: "Junior Brother Miyamoto's swordsmanship talent is not inferior to mine, but he is impetuous and too competitive."

"He started late. At that time, the master was already old. He occasionally asked me to give guidance to his junior. The junior was dissatisfied and felt that he was not valued by his master. He wanted to prove himself, so he challenged me many times."

"At that time, I was obsessed with swordsmanship and didn't know how to deal with the world. I responded with all my strength every time. I defeated my junior brother many times and he challenged me 108 times in total."

Xiaoxue said: "How many times have you defeated him in total?"

"107 times."

"Did he win the last time?"

"No, there was no winner that time. He was trembling all over and didn't pull out the sword for a long time. In the end, he let it go. Since then, he has become much calmer, no longer rashly launching challenges, and practicing his sword skills steadily. It’s also progressing very quickly”

"But later I discovered that his competitive spirit has never changed."

"One day many years later, I returned from a training trip and found that my master had suffered an accident. He was killed by a single blow in his sleep. This is impossible. The master had already awakened the swordsman's instinct. As long as there was murderous intent within ten meters, he would be killed. Even in his sleep, he can instantly use his sword to defend the enemy."

"Afterwards, I found out that the master's food and drinks were poisoned, and he was completely unconscious, and he was the one who succeeded. The first person I thought of was Miyamoto. When I was away, he took care of the master's daily life."

"When Miyamoto appeared in front of me again, he was holding the famous sword that the master used during his lifetime. It turned out that he had long planned to assassinate the master, get his famous sword, and then defeat me."

"I was filled with grief and anger. I defeated Miyamoto with Mikazuki Munechika. I thought of my friendship with my fellow disciples and did not take his life. I just chopped off his dominant hand. For a single-sword warrior, the dominant hand represents life. Losing the dominant hand , also represents the end of the samurai career."

"I buried my master and his famous sword together, and left Mikazuki Munechika in the famous sword hall. When the ninjas rose, the samurai's survival status was challenged. I was ordered to become the leader of the Iron Country. I also cast Murasame Muramasa and created my own double swords. school"

"For many years after that, there was no news from Miyamoto. Later I found out that he never gave up his identity as a samurai. With hatred for me, he worked hard to practice swordsmanship with his left hand, and finally reached the level of perfection. He was known as the one-armed sword. Later, , he even killed the third generation Mizukage"

"The Third Mizukage" Xiaoxue was surprised.

The Third Mizukage, compared to his predecessor, Kiden Gengetsu, and his successor, Gotachibana Yagura, seem to be less famous. They are like passers-by in the history of ninjas, leaving no dazzling deeds.

But only those who lived in that era knew the horror of the Third Mizukage. He was the real inaugurator of the Blood Mist Era, and Yagura was only his continuation and promotion.

The feared Kirigakure ninja unit also originated from the period of the Third Mizukage. Only because the things he had done were too horrific, information was completely blocked by Kirigakure, making him seem unknown.

"After Miyamoto mastered the swordsmanship, he came to me again to seek revenge, but was defeated by me again. This time, after he was defeated by my sword, he escaped desperately with serious injuries. Since then, there has been no news from him. Everyone thought he was dead. I didn’t expect that he survived tenaciously and endured it till now. He even tried to go to the Netherworld Valley of the Kingdom of Iron for my demon sword.”

At this time, a figure passed by outside and quietly put his ear to the wall, listening to the conversation inside. It turned out to be Sakura.

She eavesdropped like this for a long time, and suddenly found that the sound inside stopped.

"Ahem!" Then, two warning coughs sounded.

No, she was discovered and she ran away quickly, thinking as she ran: Demon Sword, Kingdom of Iron, Netherworld Valley

She stopped and rolled her eyes: If I tell Sasuke-kun about this, he will definitely be very happy. After all, he looks very excited when he sees the shadow daughter practicing sword skills. Then Sasuke-kun and I will The two of them went to the Netherworld Valley of the Kingdom of Iron to look for the legendary demon sword. Ah, it’s so romantic just thinking about it.

"Go and tell Sasuke-kun right away." So, she happily went to find Sasuke.
