Mifune's face turned red. Although he had rich combat experience, it was his first time facing a tailed beast.
The former "demigod" Hanzo of the Salamander, although his fighting power is stronger than that of the ordinary tailed beasts, his absolute power is much inferior to that of the tailed beasts.
What makes Salamander Hanzo so fearsome is that he is almost perfect with no weaknesses and his toxicity is like a moving plague.
Mifune was not just excited to see the prey and wanted to test the power of the Tailed Beast Ball, but it was also an instinctive result of years of samurai training.
The orthodox Iron Country samurai are fundamentally different from swordsmanship ninjas like Ganliu and Hatake Sakumo.
Although sword-fighting ninjas also practice the way of the sword and are quite skilled at it, their goal is still to achieve victory through force.
Samurai, however, regard kendo as their belief. Sometimes, for the sake of their inner persistence, they will give up their desire for victory and even be willing to sacrifice their own lives.
It was difficult for ninjas to understand these stupid people.
It is not without reason that the samurai who did not know how to adapt lost to the ninja in the competition.
But this is precisely the point that we cannot give up.
Just like a ninja who doesn't use chakra, a samurai who gives up sticking to his own path is no longer a pure samurai.
The only samurai kingdom in the ninja world - the Iron Kingdom - has always inherited the samurai tradition that is old-fashioned to the point of being harsh.
Although swordsmanship ninjas also use swords, their use is actually not much different from kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools. Although they also practice spiritual training to hone themselves, it is chakra that supports the foundation of their strength.
Samurai are different. Although modern samurai also use chakra, they regard the sword as a part of themselves with a sharp blade infused with strong will. They use it to vent the power of their own practice and give feedback to themselves, which complements their strong will and improves each other.
"I was reckless, but when I see such a strong enemy, I can't help but test my own strength."
Although the direct attack of the Tailed Beast Ball was broken by Mifune's sword, the scattered Tailed Beast Ball exploded instantly, and the impact of its release was the most terrifying.
Even with Mizuki's timely rescue, Sanfen was not unscathed. Not only was he in a mess, but the tip of the sword in his hand was missing. The broken corner flew and scratched Sanfen's cheek, leaving a line of blood, and a strand of his long hair behind his head was also cut off.
Looking at the completely broken sword in his hand, Mifune felt extremely sad.
"It's such a pity that a partner who has followed me for decades has come to the end like this."
Is a samurai still a samurai without a sword?
Mizuki looked at Mifune and asked helplessly:
"Senior, do you have any spare weapons? Long swords, long knives, etc.? Now is not the time to equip you with weapons..."
For most ninjas, the strict requirements for weapons are not that high, but if a samurai does not have a suitable weapon, his strength will be greatly reduced.
"An Xin, this is the biggest war in the history of the ninja world, how could I not prepare in advance?"
Throwing the broken sword aside without any nostalgia, Mifune took out a scroll, unfolded it, bit his finger, and pressed it on the rune on the scroll...
"You have been carrying a sword for decades, and you just lost it like that?"
Without even raising his head, Sanchuan refined the not-so-much chakra and poured it into the scroll.
"A broken sword is already dead. Even if it is repaired, it is no longer the same companion it once was. The way of the samurai is to die on the battlefield. It is a great honor. There is no need for unnecessary weakness."
Well, the values of samurai and ninjas are indeed quite different. It’s okay if they don’t have a close relationship, but after getting along for a long time, it does feel a bit strange.
Compared to these trivial matters, Mizuki was really surprised to see a serious samurai leader performing ninjutsu.
Although I only used props to perform simple prop spiritualism, this can be considered as not doing my job properly, right?
Sure enough, the samurai who adhered to tradition were more or less influenced by the ninjas.
A moment later, a luxurious long sword that was entirely silver from the handle to the tip of the blade appeared in front of Shuimu.
This weapon, which looked more like a ceremonial sword than a killing weapon, immediately attracted Shuimu's attention.
In Shuimu's eyes, this sword is not as simple as it appears. The pure murderous aura emanating from the blade is so strong. The sword of killing without any impurities makes Shuimu feel uncomfortable when he is close to it.
"This sword is not simple. What is it called?"
"Murasame..."
Sanchuan picked up the long sword and swung it casually. A silver light that could not be followed by the eyes flashed across the sky, and a deep sword mark appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of him.
"You have a good eye. This sword is a secret sword worshipped by the Iron Country. It is said to be a divine weapon that has been passed down for countless years in ancient times. In order to compete with various ferocious beasts for food, the arduous human beings had to fight back with their weak bodies. And this sword is the peerless divine sword that our ancestors refined with the blood of countless foreign races. The legendary heroes even wielded the Murasame to kill the devil."
“That’s really amazing!”
Shuimu pretended to admire!
No one can tell how true this seemingly plausible myth is.
However, this sword does have the meaning of a sword of humanity. In addition to the toughness and sharpness of the artifact itself, the killing power it contains is indeed eye-catching.
The history of ninja is only a thousand years old, but the history of mankind is much longer than that.
Although the history that can be traced back is less than a few hundred years, to be more accurate, it is not even a hundred years.
Due to the long years of war, the humans in the ninja world have no history to speak of.
But as a group valued by the ninja world, some things have been passed down.
Not far away, Jiraiya, who was fighting two tailed beasts alone, found it difficult to take care of all aspects. Suddenly, several tentacles composed of red tailed beast chakra stretched out from under the ground and grabbed Mizuki and Mifune in a cage-like shape.
"It's really haunting!"
It’s not that the three of them are not strong enough or are no match for the two perfect-form tailed beasts, but that they are hesitant.
The Four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Zi possesses the power of the Hell Realm, and the Five-tailed Jinchuriki Han possesses the power of the Shura Realm. Although their direct combat capabilities are average, they possess the power of Yin-Yang escape granted by the Rinnegan. If they get too close, problems may easily arise.
As for medium and long-range combat, it is inevitable to engage in a war of attrition with these huge monsters in terms of strength.
In fact, many methods are not very effective against these immortal monsters.
Mizuki, who had not been able to find a good opportunity, was getting a little anxious and was hesitating whether to reveal some cards. At this moment, Sanfen, who was protected by Mizuki behind him, suddenly flashed forward. Silver light swirled, and the sword blade was like a swirling storm, which crushed the surrounding tailed beast chakra tentacles into pieces without any delay.
"pretty……"
Shuimu couldn't help but admire.
The attacking ability is good and it is quite pleasing to the eye!
