Masahiko and Mifune stared at each other for a long time, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

The samurai's concentration is indeed strong, but Masahiko is willing to admit defeat.

"I'm at a loss to stare at it like this, the three ships are too ugly, and I look very uncomfortable. And he stared at me, just enjoying it......" Masahiko secretly said inside, "It seems that I have to find a way." ”

Masahiko pondered for a moment, his right hand quietly condensed the wind attribute chakra, and a faint wind twist formed on his fingertips, and with a flick of his fingers, a breeze blew towards Mifune's eyes......

Mifune was able to react, turning his head to dodge, and his right hand was on the hilt of the knife.

"You're blinking!"

Mifune: ???

Masahiko smiled slightly, and then quickly withdrew it, and his expression finally became serious. When the mess is over, it's time to get down to business.

"Tell me, what is it that people and gods are angry about, even I dare to doubt it?"

Mifune's right hand gradually lowered from the hilt of the knife, and he groaned slightly: "I'm sorry, senior. It's impossible to do this, it's just that the timing of your appearance is too coincidental. Please follow me. ”

Masahiko nodded, and followed Mifune with his three children all the way to his general's mansion.

Mifune rummaged for a moment, took out a folded map, and unfolded it in front of Masahiko's eyes.

"This is a map near the Iron Country, I don't know which way the predecessor came from."

"The Land of Earth."

Mifune nodded: "Sure enough." If you set out from the country of vortex, you may be able to save the innocent people of the other country along the way. ”

"Huh?" Masahiko frowned, searched the map for a moment, and found a country that had been beaten with a small red cross, "The country of the other side has been destroyed?" ”

Mifune sighed: "Yesterday came the news, and the country of the other side was completely destroyed. ”

Masahiko was shocked: "All annihilated? ”

Mifune nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Hey, Great Elder, what do you mean by total annihilation? It won't be ......" Xiang Phosphorus's face was a little ugly.

"Ah, that's what you mean." Masahiko took a deep breath.

Total destruction means that the other country is not annexed by other countries, but is slaughtered by all people, from the daimyo to the most ordinary commoner.

It's not something that can be done by attacking between countries, it's definitely done by ninjas. But even in the Warring States, few people would do such a thankless thing, what kind of grudge and what kind of grudge?

After a pause, Mifune continued to speak: "According to the intelligence, there are ninjas who have unleashed large-scale ninjutsu in the other country, and I have asked Okisuke to lead the team to investigate, and it is estimated that they will be able to return early tomorrow morning." Maybe there are still places where you need the help of your seniors. ”

"Large-scale ninjutsu? There are indeed not many ninjas who can destroy the country, but it is not too few. ”

Although the country is called a country, it is actually not even comparable to Konoha Village, and it is just an inconspicuous dot on the map. There are many small countries like this, and there are many near the Iron Country, all of which belong to the subordinate category of the Iron Country, and are protected by samurai, and there are few ninjas in the country.

In today's ninja world, there are still some ninjas who can use large-scale ninjutsu to destroy a country of this scale, not to mention others, almost all of them can be human pillars, and the matter of two tailed beast jade.

Mifune nodded: "This matter will definitely put everyone in the surrounding small countries in danger, if Okisuke finds nothing, I hope the seniors can help and arrest the murderer." ”

Masahiko once again looked upright: "I have no excuse for this matter!" ”

Mifune was stunned for a moment, turned his head and shouted: "Inside, arrange the guest room, the seniors have traveled hard all the way, it is getting late, please rest the seniors." ”

Masahiko was helpless, and others still didn't believe in this 'righteousness': "Don't worry, helping you to investigate this matter will be regarded as a reward for Jun Malu to learn swordsmanship." ”

Mifune nodded: "Thank you seniors for your kindness." ”

Seeing that the samurai named Rikaku had arranged the guest room and walked over, Masahiko suddenly remembered something else.

With a wave of his right hand, the human puppet Hanzo appeared in front of several people, and the light blue enchantment around Hanzo had not been canceled by Masahiko.

"It's ...... Your Excellency Hanzo! Mifune was startled, recalling the information of the Land of Rain, "He is indeed no longer alive." ”

"Well, not only is he no longer alive, but his body has also been made into a human puppet, and now he is a poisonous man." Masahiko explained, "I remember that you knew him, find someone to bury him, there is no place for him in the Land of Rain. ”

Mifune took a deep breath: "I see, Senpai. ”

Masahiko nodded, then stunned again.

"If I do this, Yahiko will probably be in trouble when he comes to ask the neutral country of Iron to join the Akatsuki Organization......

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Masahiko took his three children to breakfast and followed the guidance of a samurai to an open field, where Mifune stood quietly with a wooden knife in his hand, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Senior, I need to test this kid's sword skills first."

Masahiko turned his head: "Jun Malu, only one bone knife is allowed, don't use other abilities." ”

Jun Ma Lu rushed forward with a fighting spirit, but Mifune was far from being an opponent he could fight now, and with just a light pick of the wooden knife, Jun Ma Lu could barely hold the bone blade in his hand.

After trying a few tricks, Mifune's wooden knife was strengthened, and Kimimaro stumbled back to Masahiko's side.

"Is it just instinct? He still has a lot to learn. ”

Masahiko nodded: "So I'll stay here for about three months, and during this time, I'll trouble you to find someone to teach him swordsmanship, Mifune." ”

"Three months, barely enough." Mifune responded: "Time is pressing, before Okinosuke returns, I'll personally teach him some swordsmanship basics." ”

Masahiko nodded in satisfaction and patted Jun Malu on the shoulder: "Look at it and study hard." ”

"Yes, God!"

Junmaro learned the basic swordsmanship with Mifune, and Masahiko instructed Shiro and Xiang Phosphorus to practice sparring.

As time passed, Mifune's face became more and more tense, not because of what Kimimaro had done, but because the samurai named Okisuke had not returned on time.

It wasn't until noon that Mifune was relieved that Okisuke had finally returned after receiving a report from the samurai.

Masahiko was also curious about this and asked the three children to practice on their own, and he followed Mifune to meet the samurai named Okisuke.

"General Mifune, this is the young master of the other country, who was a proton in this country before, so he escaped a catastrophe." Okisuke explained the reason for being late, and glanced at Masahiko with a little curiosity, but did not take the initiative to ask.

Masahiko looked at the young master of the country of the other in the mouth of the samurai Okisuke, a six- or seven-year-old beautiful man with two pigtails in his hair and crying with pear blossoms and rain...... Little boys.

Masahiko wanted to call Shiro over at that time to make them look better than each other, but he thought Shiro was slightly better anyway.

Thinking about these things, Mifune opened his mouth and asked about the situation in the other country.

I heard the samurai Okinosuke shake his head and say, "There are no survivors." It doesn't look like the country has been destroyed by multiple ninjutsu, it's more like a super-large-scale ninjutsu turned into ruins in an instant, and the civilians have no chance to escape at all. It's not even like ninjutsu, it's like a natural disaster. ”

Mifune's face was heavy and he turned to Masahiko.

Masahiko nodded thoughtfully: "Take me to see it, a ninja who can destroy the country with ninjutsu will not exceed five people in the ninja world today, I ...... I guess I know who it is. ”
