On a sweltering night, Kannaten walked on the road, and the streets were empty and looked empty.

He looked up at the sky, the moon was dark and the stars were dark, and the evening breeze was cool, blowing the trees, making a rattling sound of leaves rubbing.

"It's going to rain? Huh......"

According to Akamedo's memory, Kusanagi Sword was at his house, and it was hung on the sword rack in the hall in a grand manner, disguised as a fortune sword, and a large number of incense candles were placed around it, the kind that smoked it, burning twenty-four hours a day, to ensure that guests who dared to approach Kusanagi Sword would not be surprised by the inexplicable rising mist.

From this point of view, this Kusanagi sword should not be taken very seriously by the Court of Silence.

This is not difficult to understand, because in this world, the Kusanagi Sword is not synonymous with a divine sword or artifact, but a sword system. Just like in the previous life of Kannatian, the ten-fist sword does not refer to a single one, but refers to a long sword with a length of ten fists and width, also known as a ten-grip sword and ten bundle of swords. Among them, the more famous ten-fist swords, there are Tianyu Yu Slashing Sword, also known as Budus Soul Sword, Snake Zhizheng, Tianten Holding Sword, and Tianzhi Yuzhang. Both of these swords can be seen as the prototype of the ten-fist sword held by Uchiha Itachi.

No matter how garbage the Kusanagi Sword is, it is definitely a divine weapon, and Kannaiten is still very interested in it.

However, what intrigued him even more was the Silent Garden, a behemoth lurking in Tokaido.

This organization has always belonged to the very mysterious kind in Kannaten's heart, but today, Kannaten has finally unveiled a corner of its mystery. A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen, and Kannatian was also able to understand how big the ambition of this organization is.

Combining the information that Kannaten himself knew, and seizing the memories of the members of the Silent Court such as Misaki and Akamedo, Kannatian suddenly discovered that the Silent Court seemed to want to make a big news.

"So, let me try to speculate......" Kannaten thought inwardly with a relaxed smile on her face.

About twenty to thirty years ago, Madara Uchiha was completely familiar with and mastered the power of the eye of reincarnation, but, obviously with the power above the human world, Madara still did not let down his vigilance, in order to fulfill his lifelong wish- To create a perfect new world, Madara chooses a more troublesome, but safer approach: he begins to divide his power and plan among many gifted children, hoping that when they grow up, they can become a good pawn, so that Madara can control the situation behind the scenes without having to take action himself.

As a result, a number of genius boys have risen, and among them, some have become the top leaders of the ninja village, such as dragons, some people are in the daimyo's mansion, playing life, such as delusion, and some have created organizations to try to gather the power of their companions to achieve their dreams, such as Nagato of Akatsuki, and the leader of the Court of Silence, God.

However, there is one person who does not get supreme power, not the wisdom of battle, nor any name or will, but ...... Lifespan, or rather, youth, health.

The daimyo of the contemporary water country, he was bewitched by Madara and accepted the gift of the devil, so a strange phenomenon appeared, and after many years, the daimyo who had reached the age of sixty or seventy had maintained his physique, appearance, and mental state in his prime. On the other hand, Madara, a ninja who is infinitely close to the "immortals", can almost be called the strongest ninja in human history, but he ages extremely fast.

The daimyo will always keep Qin Chun, which does not have much impact on the vast majority of people, but there is one exception, the son of the daimyo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Land of Water, is absolutely unwilling, he can't sit back and watch this phenomenon happen, the father looks younger than the son, what is this concept? If nothing else, the crown prince will never be able to inherit the throne of the daimyo, and will live in the shadow of his father for the rest of his life, passing by the throne at his fingertips, and the loss is completely unimaginable to ordinary people.

So, of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joined the Court of Silence, and under the protection of the Prince, the Court of Silence became a semi-official and semi-civil organization, which successfully passed the most difficult initial period of the organization, and slowly grew, attracting many sword masters, mercenary leaders, pirate captains, monks, cultists, and magnates to join. Unlike the Ninja Village, which only recruits and cultivates ninjas, the Court of Silence has taken a different path and has become a stronghold of the forces of the old era.

In the year 46, that is, this year, the daimyo aged overnight, which marked the exhaustion of his lifespan that Madara had received from him, and not only that, but the daimyo forcibly lived the life of a middle-aged man at an advanced age, so much so that he consumed twice as much energy as an old man of the same age. As a result, even his unused life was deprived. The Daimyo's sanity collapsed at one point, and he had no interest in politics at all, and the outbreak of war gave careerists the best chance.

Kannato stumbled and rose to prominence at the best of times, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the opportunity to steal the seal of the daimyo and began to meddle in domestic affairs to a limited extent. The Silent Court, which had consciously accumulated enough strength, also began their plan, that is, through the Great Treasure Seal, opened a casino in the name of the Daimyo, and induced gamblers to buy the gambling game won by the Land of Water, and in secret, mobilized the members of the organization to collect war intelligence in all aspects, and sold the Land of Water at a necessary time in the future, so that the Land of Water would be defeated in the three wars, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting money, accumulate funds for the growth of the organization, and at the same time weaken the Land of Water, the overlord of the East Sea Road, so that the organization has more room to survive.

If the plan goes well, the Silent Court can imitate the establishment of the Ninja Village back then, creating a paradise that only belongs to swordsmen, monks, mercenaries and other remnants of the old era, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also smoothly inherit the Great Treasure, use the power of the Silent Court, and fight against the Mist Hidden Ninja Village, gradually depriving the Ninja Village of all kinds of privileges, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of centralizing power, so that Tokaido can return to the situation of the Warring States period where the daimyo ruled everything and had the absolute right to speak.

Of course, the ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and the appearance of Kannaten heralds the failure of the Court of Silence.

According to Kanaten's concept, the Court of Silence is turning back the wheel of history, it is destined to be impossible to succeed, ninjas are the theme of this world, and the rest of the swordsmen, monks, and even traditional nobles all belong to the evil demon outer way, which is the remnant of the times that has been proven backward, and has been swept away by generations of ninjas!

"What are you kidding with a bunch of garbage, and you want to fight against my Kannaten-sama? What do you think of the little mouse in the house?"

Peng! Kannatian kicked the door away and walked into Akamedo's house unhurriedly.

The room was smoky and hazy, and under the rows of lit incense candles, a pair of sword stands were placed, and two men sat silently kneeling behind, their faces hidden in the darkness, unable to see clearly.

"Oh, two?" Kannatian raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, and looked around, "It's a bit famous, sign up, I don't have much time." ”

Kannato came here openly, and he didn't hide the sound of his footsteps, and it was normal to be discovered by the people inside, which he did on purpose, because it helped him perceive the other party's malice, but what he didn't expect was that there was only one malice in the house, but after entering the house, he found that there were two people.

A voice sounded, with a deep sadness: "Forget the name or something, I am the sword burial man, and he is the sword bearer." Our identity, probably you also know, since you are in a hurry, I will make a long story short, the organization please me, bring you a few words. ”

Kannatian snorted: "I still have the time to listen to a few words, let's say it." ”

The Burial Sword Man coughed and said, "Then, on behalf of the leader, I ask you, what does it take for you to abandon your prejudice against us, the Venerable God Naten, the Six Emperors of the Land of Water, or the Six Pillar Gods?"

"There is no such thing as 'bias'. Shen Natian said indifferently, "I treat anyone equally, regardless of his origin, identity, gender, status, and strength, if he is kind to me, I will give him peace, and if he is close to me, let him die, it is very simple." ”

The Burial Sword Man nodded, and sighed: "It is worthy of a man who dares to claim to be a god, the above sentence is what I said myself, and below, it is still the words of the leader: If you join us, you don't need to make any contributions or sacrifices, just keep away and ignore us during this time, then after that, you will get the maximum reward, for example, we can guarantee that you will become the next Mizukage, and hand over the organization's ninja troops to you and become your subordinates." In addition, we can also help you assassinate some of your enemies for free, such as the Hinawa Yuya...... How's that going?"

Shen Naiten smiled inexplicably, and asked rhetorically, "Paying such a big price just to recruit me? Why?"

The Burial Sword Man smiled bitterly: "Your question, the leader has also taken it into consideration, and his answer is: There is no direct conflict between our two sides, and there is not much conflict of interests, and even from a certain point of view, the purpose of our two sides is very consistent, and you are trying to control the entire Tokaido, which is quite close to the organization's plan, and it is completely cooperative." ”

Kannaiten nodded and said, "That's right, I have the Martial Arts Seal and the Taizheng Seal, you have the Great Treasure Seal, I control more than one-third of the ninjas in the Fog Hidden Village, and you control some of the powerful people and big merchants in the Tokaido, which is indeed enough to launch a coup d'état that does not involve armed struggle." ”

Hearing this, the Burial Sword Man's tone became even more bitter: "Although your words sound like you agree, my lord, I feel ...... Hey, there's no sincerity at all. ”

"You're kind of funny. Kannaten was noncommittal and said, "What about the guy next to you, why don't you keep talking?"

"He can't hear ......" the sword bury man sighed, "I can't speak, let alone see things, the five tones are confused, the five colors are blind, the five desires are troubled, if you want to obtain eternal freedom, the pursuit of the supreme self, the only way to give up everything and keep your heart is constant, this is the long-lost Nianliu Kendo, also known as the Heart Sword Stream, Kannatian-sama should have heard of it." ”

Thunder rang out, a thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and the scene inside the room was illuminated in an instant.

I saw two men opposite, one with a vicissitudes of life, melancholy eyes, and shabby clogs on his feet, like the most down-and-out street uncle. The other had his eyes closed, his eyelids sunken in, no sign of his eyes rolling, and a sheathed dagger shrouded in smoke lay across his knees, motionless.

Shen Natian shook his head indifferently and said, "This year, I always meet some strange people who poke their eyes blind, puncture their eardrums, cut off their tongues, don't say a word, don't turn a blind eye, just to cultivate the heart sword technique? This kind of cultivation is too cruel and not the right way. No wonder your Silent Court has never dared to show people with your true eyes, it turns out that the members inside are such a group of evil demons and outsiders, you are actually no different from the Cult of Evil Gods, and you are saying some arrogant words that even you are confused about, but you are doing dirty and despicable villain things, although I am not a good person, but I am far from being reduced to the point of being in the same stream with you, nonsense is here, today you two will die, and the Silent Court will also die at my hands. I am the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, the destiny of Heaven is mine, you people are destined to perish in the corner of history!"

After that, Kannatian took a stride, his body suddenly rose, his bones swelled, his muscles knotted, and with another step, his body shrank and collapsed all of a sudden, and the skin exoskeleton was as smooth and hard as marble.

Kannaten stepped in front of the enemy in two steps, and was about to kill these two members of the Court of Silence in one fell swoop, and snatch the Kusanagi sword!

"Akamedo doesn't even dare to make a move in front of me, you two, you must die here today!"
