On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

The second stage of the nature change is much more tiring than the first stage, not to mention that the practice of water breathing will increase threefold in the future.

"Focus on your training. Everyone at the orphanage is waiting for you to earn money to renovate the orphanage," Yongze encouraged.

Kabuto suddenly realized that Nagasawa was right. The Dean and the others were still waiting for him to become a ninja and make money. Mutual understanding could wait. The most important thing was to become stronger as soon as possible and then do missions to make money.

Although he wanted to apologize, he still wanted to fulfill the expectations of the dean and Yongze first, rather than some strangers.

……

"Musashi, if you want to become a true swordsman, you must feel the breath of all things. At that time, even without using chakra, you will be able to easily cut through steel with your sword."

On the road to the Land of Rain, Nagasawa guides Musashi's training.

Since Musashi was a samurai from the Land of Iron, Nagasawa thought about it and decided to train Musashi using the training methods of swordsmen among pirates.

Musashi broke through in that battle, and his current level is probably Special Jonin. His swordsmanship has reached the Jonin level, but he is not good at other things.

Although his swordsmanship makes him very strong in battle, Musashi's chances of winning against a Jonin from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages are still very small.

However, if Musashi were to master the Breath of All Things, his attack power would greatly increase. Not to mention that his strength would jump directly to the Kage level, he would be able to easily bully ordinary Jonin.

With the added benefit of chakra, he could still put on a show in the early stages of Naruto.

Musashi nodded and, as Nagasawa had instructed, began to earnestly sense the breath of all things.

Although the idea of ​​feeling the breath of rocks, flowers, and trees is ridiculous, if someone else said that, Musashi would immediately draw his sword and chop them up. You have to come up with something better to fool people.

But if the person who said this was his father, Musashi would believe it.

Because when Nagasawa fought him, he did not use chakra to assist him, but he still managed to unleash sword energy, which was even stronger than the sword energy that he had added wind chakra to.

It could easily shatter his sword aura, which was aided by chakra.

This reminded Musashi of a question he had pondered before: in ancient times, were swordsmen of the samurai era able to unleash sword energy using their own power?

At that time, ninjas had not yet appeared, and naturally there was no chakra; it was still the era of samurai.

Were the samurai of that time able to unleash sword energy? Is it true that one cannot unleash sword energy without chakra?

Musashi didn't know this before because the samurai era is too far removed from the present, and samurai who didn't use chakra have long since become dust of history.

But now that Musashi knows, it should be possible.

He also wants to become a swordsman like his father, who can unleash sword energy without using chakra!

As if sensing Musashi's thoughts, Nagasawa spoke up to remind him:

"Chakra is also your own power. Don't think that because it's a power used by ninjas, you should abandon it. Combine chakra with swordsmanship, and you will go further."

Yongze knows those diodes all too well; he's always thinking about going to extremes. Can't he just find a balance?

Musashi smiled sheepishly, thinking to himself that his father seemed to have mind-reading abilities, as his thoughts had just been uttered.

"Dad, it's raining." Gao Qiao suddenly felt raindrops falling on his head.

Yongze looked at the sky, which had been clear just moments before, but suddenly turned gloomy, and raindrops began to fall.

If his true form were here, he could certainly perform a feat of slashing open a clear sky with a single hand and a single sword, but as for shadow clones, forget about it.

“Let’s go to the village ahead,” Yongze said.

Upon arriving in the village, the villagers initially didn't want Yongze and his companions to enter after seeing their ferocious appearance. However, after assessing the strength of both sides, they obediently allowed them to go in.

"There's so much rain in the Land of Rain. The sky was clear one minute, and then it suddenly started raining," Musashi remarked.

This was his first time traveling abroad for experience; he had never been to other countries before.

This is the norm in the Land of Iron; the samurai don't want to deal with ninjas.

After all, their status had been replaced by ninjas, so it was impossible for a samurai to like ninjas. Not only would ninjas not believe it, but even the samurai themselves didn't believe it.

Samurai from all over the world united to form the Land of Iron, which allowed them to barely survive in this world of ninjas.

Therefore, the Land of Iron is a neutral country, neither declaring war on nor forming alliances with any other nation, making it an anomaly among all the nations in the ninja world.

In addition, the Land of Iron itself is quite powerful, and its location is often covered by heavy snow, making it not a good place. Therefore, the ninja nations made an agreement that as long as the Land of Iron remains neutral, they will never attack it.

Therefore, the Land of Iron doesn't encourage going to other countries for training; they just stay in their own Land of Iron.

Having left the Land of Iron, the samurai realized another fact: this world belonged to ninjas, and the era of the samurai was long gone.

It would be better to stay in the Land of Iron, where at least everything is pretty much the same as before.

If it weren't for a chance encounter that led him astray, he would probably have stayed in the Land of Iron forever.

“It’s called the Land of Rain, so it’s only natural that it rains a lot,” Gao Qiao chimed in.

He had never been to the Land of Rain, because the Land of Rain did not welcome other caravans to enter, so naturally he could not come here to do business.

Clang!

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was kicked open forcefully.

Two rain ninjas wearing raincoats and oxygen masks walked in and asked:

Have you noticed any suspicious-looking people lately?

The villagers timidly pointed at Yongze and his two companions, then quietly backed away, starting to create distance between themselves.

The two Rain Ninjas began to scrutinize Nagasawa and his companions, then pulled out several portraits, compared them, and found that they were not the same people.

"Forget it, they don't look like they're from the Land of Rain. They might be spies. Let's just arrest them while we're at it," one of the Rain Ninja suggested.

Their boss looked really bad today; if they don't get anything out of it, they're probably going to have a hard time going home.

Even though we didn't capture the Akatsuki members, catching a spy from another village isn't bad.

Perhaps these three are actually members of the Akatsuki organization, since they possess portraits of Akatsuki leaders, while these three could be considered ordinary members.

“Hmm.” Another Rain Ninja nodded, agreeing with his companion’s assessment.

"This world is really full of scoundrels. I didn't expect to run into them again so soon after leaving the Land of Grass." Gao Qiao silently adopted an attack stance when he saw that the two Rain Ninjas were about to make a move.

Previously, due to Inoue Taketsu's protection and his social class, he had not experienced much darkness.

But after following Yongze, he truly witnessed all sorts of things.

Local officials relentlessly collect taxes, while officials from the Ministry of War rob people of their belongings in the streets…

The land of grass has completely rotted away.

"Dad, leave these small fry to me, you don't need to lift a finger."

"Gao Qiao, don't interfere. You've only been training for a month; it's a bit too much to deal with ninjas."

After saying that, Musashi drew his two swords, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

He has never fought against the ninjas of the Land of Rain.

Although Gao Qiao was somewhat unwilling, he knew that his strength was indeed lacking and that he might be a hindrance in the fight, so he obediently took a step back.

Chapter 147 Special Operations Platoon

The two rain ninjas exchanged a glance, then vanished from their spot, each throwing two kunai at Musashi.

Musashi narrowed his eyes and saw the thin steel wire tied to the end of the kunai.

Concentrating his chakra on the blade, Musashi swiftly unleashed two wind blades.

"Dual-wielding Wind Cutter".

Two cyan wind blades flew out instantly, not only slicing the kunai away, but also cutting the steel wires that were attached to it.

The two Rain Ninjas showed a hint of surprise on their faces, not expecting that this person dressed as a samurai was actually a strong person.

However, the two Rain Ninja were ninjas who had experienced war, and they quickly reacted, drawing the short blades tied to their legs and rushing towards Musashi.

However, Musashi was faster than them!

With a burst of chakra in his feet, Musashi's speed increased dramatically. Gripping his twin swords tightly, he raised one of them and slashed at one of the Rain Ninja.

when!

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

Rain Ninja quickly held his short blade in front of him, blocking Musashi's slash.

However, Musashi is a dual-wielder!

Musashi suddenly slashed at the Rain Ninja with another sword hidden behind his back.

Tear!

Rain Ninja uniform was ripped open, and bright red blood began to flow wildly from the cut on his abdomen.

Musashi touched the ground with his toes and took a big step back, dodging the attack from another Rain Ninja.

Musashi shook his head, feeling a little regretful. If the Rain Ninja hadn't reacted in time, or if he had already reached the Iron-Cutting Realm, the Rain Ninja he struck would have died instantly.

Musashi gripped his twin swords tightly, preparing to charge again. The Rain Ninja he had struck was already seriously injured, and now was the time to press his advantage.

Dual Blade Style: Wind Net!

Dozens of cyan sword energies were unleashed by Musashi's twin swords, forming a large net of sword energy with only narrow gaps, which attacked the two Rain Ninja.

The uninjured Rain Ninja grabbed the injured Rain Ninja and attempted to use a ninjutsu. After being shredded by the sword aura net, he retreated frantically, trying to escape.

But how could Musashi let this arrogant Rain Ninja get away?

He suddenly unleashed a sword aura towards the roof.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The area struck by the sword energy collapsed rapidly, and the falling debris slowed down the two Rain Ninja.

This slowdown allowed the massive net of sword energy behind them to catch up with the two Rain Ninjas. Dozens of sword energies instantly tore them to pieces, splattering crimson blood everywhere.

"My lord, spare my life!" The villager was dumbfounded and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yongze and the other two.

The ninja world is so cruel. Even though Nagasawa borrowed his house to take shelter from the rain and Musashi even damaged his house, he still had to kneel down and beg for the three people's forgiveness.

Because he had pointed at the three people with his finger when the Rain Ninja asked if there were any suspicious people.

Musashi looked at Nagasawa, who shook his head.

Musashi understood Nagasawa's meaning and sheathed his sword.
