The fire outside the hall burned wildly, and the wind blew through it.

Nakamura Koichi heard Yusuke Koemon's words, his right hand holding the long knife tightened, the muscles in the corners of his eyes shrank, and he showed a cold look:

"Konoemon Tainori...... He's already told you......"

"yes. If my father hadn't told me, how would I have known that there was such a top-notch warrior as you hidden in this city? ”

Yusuke Konoemon smiled mockingly, looking down at the man condescendingly.

Koichi Nakamura didn't speak, stood in place, and bowed his head slightly.

Yusuke Konoemon continued:

"Koichi Nakamura, no, meet and build - you were defeated in the battle between the Iron Country and Yuyin Village, and you were captured by Sanshoyu Hanzo. The samurai of the Iron Country thought you were dead, but they didn't expect you to surrender to Yuyin Village and become a subordinate of Sanshoyu Hanzo......"

"A few years later, you escaped from Yuyin Village again, and were seriously injured and dying by the ninjas sent by Yuyin Village, but you were extremely lucky to be rescued again and have survived to this day."

"It's ridiculous, it's funny that you have betrayed twice and can survive until now. It's just a pity, but you probably didn't expect that my father, Konoemon Tainori, was once a samurai in the Iron Country...... At that time, he was just a middle-aged samurai who did nothing in the Iron Country, but because of trivial things, you didn't like it back then, and you were just a teenager at that time and punished him wantonly, so that he had to be reduced to a ronin samurai. Who would have thought that he would suddenly rise to prominence in this land of the Fire Nation and even become the lord of a city......"

“…… And during the parade three years ago, although those memories are extremely distant—but my father still remembers you so deeply that he can even recognize your form from the crowd at a glance......"

“…… The so-called wonder of the world's encounters is nothing more than that......"

Yusuke Konoemon's tone was a little indifferent, a little sarcastic, a little banter, all of which combined to form a strange and strange tone.

He stood on the steps, looking condescendingly at the man in front of him, a strange smile mixed with murderous intent and slander on his beautiful face.

Tsuji Shofuki gritted her teeth gently, the stinging pain coming from her back made her speechless, but her heart was full of shock as she listened to the previous words.

The man......

The man named Koichi Nakamura......

There is such a past!

I never knew that he had such a past, and Tsujizo's heart was full of depression.

Koichi Nakamura stood at the door of the hall, hanging his head slightly, as if he had lost all his fighting spirit.

But Yusuke Konoemon still said in that mocking tone:

"Meet and build...... You're really pitiful—wandering around the world like a lost dog, becoming the target of both the Iron Country and the Rain Hidden Village, because you want to live, but in the end, you fall into an even more miserable situation...... You're like that—"

"Even if it's just a lost dog, isn't it still feared by your father?"

Just as Yusuke Konoemon was talking eloquently and mocking wantonly, all of a sudden, the man named Koichi Nakamura, no, named Shuzo Aimi, raised his head, and his voice broke through the wind like a knife light, instantly cutting off the atmosphere that was suppressing him!

And he also raised his head, and between his eyes, there was a scorching heat like a flame!

Yusuke Konoemon's voice paused.

He squinted, his face darkening.

Seeing each other, he ignored it indifferently, and said coldly:

"Three years ago, Konomon Tainori threatened me to help him clean up the underground forces of Tsujino Castle on the condition that he would report me—and I did; Later, he asked me to unify the underground world of Tsujino Castle for him and help him form a big force, which I did; Later, he asked me to return this power to him, and I obeyed him and did not hesitate to relinquish power......"

“…… But, all this is just because, he made a promise with me that as long as he dies, after you inherit the position of city lord, he will drown this news in this world and give me freedom - but, I didn't expect ......"

He raised his eyes, which were filled with a killing intent as bright and white as snow, as if blood was roaring in the wind!

"Not only did he not keep his promise—as his son, you actually took the smoke away to coerce me!"

"Since this agreement has become a joke, let's just kill it!"

Seeing each other and building step by step, although the body was covered with bruises, the unprecedented momentum was condensed on the body, like a storm swept in!

The guards in the hall immediately rushed up to him, rushing in front of him with their blades, the blades were staggered, the heads fell to the ground, and in an instant, several heads were in different places!

Tsujizo looked at all this vaguely, and when she heard the words of the previous meeting Shuzo, her heart was full of uncontrollable shock and pain.

Tsujizo's previous opinion of that man, his anger at him, and his incomprehension of him were all explained in the previous words!

In an instant, many things that I thought I had thought in the past were turned over at this moment!

"Why...... ...... way"

Tightly bound to the pillar in the middle of the temple, Tsuji Zofu bit his lower lip tightly, and unspeakable pain rose in his heart.

If I had known earlier......

If you had known earlier......

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Tsuji Zofu looked up with difficulty to find that the young man was suddenly standing beside him.

He looked up at the battlefield in front of him with a smile on his face.

Although the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all elite, they were all slashed and killed like ordinary people in the face of seeing each other.

However, for some reason, there was no trace of panic on Konomon's face, but a smile on his face, as if he still had many hole cards in his hand!

"Yusuke Konoemon, you ......"

The man trampled on the blood fiercely, his eyes like a bloodthirsty wolf, but when his eyes touched the smoke of Tsujizo beside him, his eyes turned to surprise and joy.

“…… Smoke, don't be afraid, I'll get you out right away......"

As he spoke, he broke through the obstacles and struck here, his body like the wind!

But at this moment, Yusuke Konoe suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, smiled, and stabbed it hard at Tsuji's skull!

A strong warning arose in his heart, and in an instant, Tsuji had only time to close his eyes!

"Ding!"

"Whew!"

Two soft sounds.

Tsuji opened her eyes with difficulty, and the light poured in from all directions, allowing her to see the scene in front of her clearly.

- The man, the man named both Koichi Nakamura and Shuzo Aimi, bowed his head deeply, and the black-handled long knife slanted out in a strange attitude in the perspective, shooting down the previous dagger and lying in the air.

However, right on his chest, a sharp knife tip came through!

There is a hint of electric light on the tip of the knife, which looks dazzling and eye-catching.

Bright red blood flowed from his chest, and the man stood silently in place, as if he had been transformed into a statue in an instant.

The immovable "statue" moved slightly, moved, and raised its right hand with difficulty, and the long knife fell to the ground with a "clang".

Shuzo raised his head slowly, and a smile that seemed to be sad and happy appeared on his face, just like what Tsuji Shuzo had seen back then.

The right hand slowly moved forward, but it was in mid-air, stopping dozens of centimeters away from Tsujizo's face.

"Smoked ......"

His face twitched slightly, and an indescribable sadness spread from his face.

Blood spilled out of his chest, like a red flower, slowly overflowing, down his arms, down his fingertips, and finally dripping to the ground.

Tsuji's eyes were blank.

Under the strong emotional impact, countless complicated emotions are intertwined in the brain, and everything finally rises away like a boiling lake, and even makes her break through the cage of pain! A terrible roar that is not human!

"Ahh
