"I'm really sorry, everyone, for causing trouble to you last night." Okisuke rushed to Akado and his group who were having breakfast early in the morning.

"Have you found the prisoner who assassinated the daimyo?" Moonlight Hayate put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked curiously.

Okosuke shook his head and said: "I didn't find it, but I found traces of their temporary stay last night. There is also a serious injury between them, and he can't run far."

"Then can we leave now?" Chitang couldn't wait to taste the breath of freedom.

"Okay, if you have any needs, you can ask us, and we will consider it as compensation." Okisuke's words made Chitou very excited.

Moonlight Hayate noticed the excited Akado and said to Okisuke: "I would like to ask you, sir, if you can teach the swordsmanship of the student next to me. He has great enthusiasm and talent for swordsmanship."

"Oh" Okisuke glanced at Chido with interest.

"I can't talk about coaching, but I can pass two moves."

"Really?" Chitou was trembling with excitement when he heard that he could compete with this one of the few Iai Sword masters in front of him.

"Don't be afraid, Akado. Trust me, the process won't be slow. As soon as you close and open your eyes, it's probably over." Sugitagawa patted Akado on the shoulder and consoled him.

Chitang shook off Tagawa's hand and rolled his eyes at him, "This is how you comfort others. Prepare to be single for a hundred years."

"Let's just stay in this courtyard. There are a lot of people outside." Chongsuke looked behind him and motioned for the samurai beside him to get out of the way.

"Okay." Chitou leaned over, holding the knife sheath with his left hand and the handle of the knife with his right hand, staring fiercely at Okisuke who was standing upright.

Moonlight Hayate waved his hand and retreated to the front of the room with Unomi and Sugadagawa.

"Carefully observe the battle of the Iron Kingdom warriors."

Unomi and Sugidagawa remained silent in the tense atmosphere and nodded blankly.

"Excellent eyes, how long have you been practicing swordsmanship?" As a master of swordsmanship, Okisuke knew when he saw Chitou's posture that the child in front of him was not just a showman who only knew how to use swords.

"Seven years."

"Yes, you have had this kind of momentum after seven years. Your teacher's evaluation of you is quite accurate."

"Senior, I prefer to put this kind of praise behind you."

"Haha, come on over, kid." Chongsuke restrained his breath and his eyes were as bright as fire.

"excuse me"

After the words fell, Chitou moved like a giant. After a moment of intertwining, under the surprised eyes of several samurai, Chitang appeared behind Okosuke, his hand still maintained the movement of waving the sword, and Okosuke behind him It seemed that he was unable to react in time, and he kept his stance unchanged from the beginning, and it seemed that the knife had not even left the scabbard.

"It's over, Akado wins." Sugidagawa stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

"No." Moonlight Hayate frowned and said, "Osuke has drawn his sword."

Shantagawa rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why didn't I see it?"

"Look at Akado's sword, it's trembling." Unomi next to him said without blinking, observing carefully.

Chitou withdrew his sword, turned back to look at Okisuke with complicated eyes, lowered his head and said, "I have learned a lesson."

The moment he swung the sword, Chitou only saw a white light blocking his sword and crossing his cheek. The cold sword body made him feel cold. Is this the strength of Master Iai Zhan? Sure enough, he is still poor. Too much.

Okisuke nodded expressionlessly and left the courtyard with the samurai around him. Before leaving, he looked at Akado who looked depressed.

"I take back my previous comment."

"You are not only very good, you will definitely surpass me in the future if you work hard."

Chido's expression relaxed a little, and it seemed that getting Okisuke's approval meant a lot to him.

"Okisuke-sama, is that kid very powerful?" The samurai who was walking on the street and patrolling beside Okusuke couldn't control his heart and asked curiously.

Okisuke nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Konoha is indeed the greatest ninja village with so many talents." After that, he took off his scarf.

Only then did the samurai around realize that the scarf Okisuke had taken had been broken into two pieces.

A few days later, an anonymous letter was delivered to the house of samurai commander Mifune.

Mifune took the letter from his disciple, opened it and read it, frowning.

"Terada, inform Okisuke and ask him to take people to the Prime Minister's Mansion to control Rintaro Hirayama, give him this letter, and tell him to find out everything in it."

"Yes." Terada accepted the order and retreated directly.

Mifune stroked his moustache. The searches conducted during the city's closure in the past few days did not find the attacker. Instead, it caused trouble to the residents in the city to a certain extent. Now he suddenly received a conspiracy letter about Prime Minister Hirayama, which confessed that he was the mastermind of the attack on the daimyo and a series of evidence of accepting bribes and sending assassins. This made Mifune both surprised and a little headache.

After a long time, Terada came back from the street and reported to Mifune: "Teacher, Mr. Okisuke found a lot of evidence based on the contents of the envelope that was too late to destroy. Now he has led his people to control Hirayama Mansion and is waiting for your instructions. .”

After these evidences were confirmed, Mifune closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and made a decision in his mind, "Take everyone in his house to prison for custody. It is better to leave this matter to the daimyo to make a decision."

"What about the Konoha ninjas in Hirayama Mansion?"

Mifune thought for a long time, and then said: "They are just a cover in the hands of Rintaro Hirayama, just let them go. Now lift the lockdown and let them return to Konoha."

"Yes"

In the past few days, when he could not leave the city, Chitang had been staying in Pingshan Mansion to eat, sleep, and be in a daze holding his sword.

Seeing Akado's abnormal mental state, Sugitagawa said to Unomi with some concern: "Look at Akado's appearance, could it be that he was too stimulated that day?"

Unomi shook his head and said: "He is such a thick-skinned person. It is impossible for him to be depressed because of such a thing. He should have gained some insights from that competition."

"All swordsmen are like this. When they encounter some problems, they always have to think through their heads and solve them. Don't disturb him. There is nothing to do at this stage anyway, so just let him settle down." Moonlight Hayate looked at Chitang with gratified eyes and gave instructions to the two people beside him.

"it is good."

At this time, Okosuke walked straight in from outside the door, glanced at Chitou who was in a daze, then looked away, and said to Moonlight Hayate and others: "The city has been unblocked, you can leave now."

Sugitagawa asked curiously: "Has the murderer of the daimyo been caught?"

Chongsuke shook his head, "No, but the mastermind behind it has been found out."

"who is it"

"Master of the place where you are standing now."

Sugitagawa rubbed his face, trying to digest the shocking news, while Unomi and Moonlight Hayate beside him fell into deep thought and began to think about the ins and outs of this mission.

"Rintaro Hirayama left us here, isn't it an act of trapping himself?" Unomi thought about it, but she couldn't figure out the purpose of his mindless behavior.

Moonlight Hayate held her chin and said: "The purpose of dragging us until night should be to expose ourselves to the surveillance of the samurai later. When we are cleared of suspicion, the Prime Minister will naturally be thought of as someone else." Framed and thus removed myself from this matter." Moonlight Gale thought for a long time, only thinking of this most likely explanation.

Unomi snorted coldly, "It's unnecessary."

Sugitagawa didn't want to think about such a brain-consuming thing, so he pushed Akado in front.

"time to eat"

Sugitagawa said with shame: "How can you think about food now more than me?"

"Then why are you looking for me?" Chitang asked speechlessly.

"We can go back to Konoha."

"Oh, let's go, let's go." Chitang jumped up from the ground, his dejected look gone.

Unomi also came from behind at this time, "Why do you change your face so quickly?"

Chitang spread his hands, "There is no way. If you can't figure it out, you can only think about it later. You can't think about practicing swords all your life. People, you have to figure out when to work hard and when to relax. Don't waste your life. That’s it.”

At this time, Rintaro Hirayama passed by the door with a group of samurai.

"Hey, Prime Minister, are you going for a walk?" Chitang greeted enthusiastically.

Rintaro Hirayama turned his head, glared at him gloomily, and walked away without saying a word.

"What's wrong with him today? Wasn't he still smiling at dinner yesterday?" Chitang scratched his head and said in confusion.

"Well, the Prime Minister is the mastermind behind the assassination of the Daimyo." Sugitagawa told Akado the truth.

"what"

Shiro left the bounty house that was engulfed in flames behind him. The scroll in his hand contained Zabuza and the decapitation sword, and he looked into the distance with his deep eyes.

"Are you going back to Kirigakure Village again?"
