Chapter 56: Fate One 0
"what?"
"Aren't you going to fight with Yuichi Zero-Shiki?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the puppet with a dull expression on the side, and there was some disbelief and embarrassment in his words. Even through the mask, the wolf seemed to be able to see the other's red face under the mask.
"No... I've never heard of it..."
I wanted to just refuse, but when I saw Toshisaburo blushing from his face to his neck, I suddenly recalled the memory of setting out from Butterfly House to the Swordsmith Village.
------
At the door of the Butterfly House.
Wolf, Uzui and Fuzugawa were waiting for Kage's arrival at the door together. Minako was playing with Kanao on the side, and Shinobu Kocho took time out to see the three of them off.
She moved her feet imperceptibly and moved to the wolf's side, looking at the other's calm face. Her little face was slightly red, as if waiting for the wolf to say something.
The wolf, who had undergone several days of special emotional training from Uzui, naturally understood the meaning in the other's eyes and spoke confidently.
"The pills and [God's Snow] are in the dilapidated temple outside the town where Minako and I lived before..."
He said halfway, observing Shinobu Kocho's expression carefully, feeling a little disappointed... and then he carefully pondered what she meant.
The next moment, an idea flashed in my mind. I seemed to have said a few days ago that I would teach her the Ashina style, but now I have to go to the swordsmith village first. Is this the reason...
Thinking of this, the wolf became more and more certain that this was what the other party meant. He carefully organized his words and spoke.
"I'll be back soon... (I'll be back to teach you Ashina-ryu)"
Sure enough, after Wolf said this, Shinobu Kocho's originally somewhat lost expression began to improve.
"After I come back, I will accompany you (practice Ashina-ryu with you)."
After saying this, Wolf paid attention to Shinobu Kocho's expression, and sure enough, her face turned red. This time he was right.
In my heart, I can’t help but express my gratitude to Uzui for his emotional training.
At this time, Minako had stopped playing with Kanao at some point and was staring at the two of them with a strange and ambiguous look where the wolf couldn't see.
"hey-hey."
This made Kanao, who was standing by, look confused.
At this moment, Uzui also came to the wolf and looked at the wolf with an expression of disappointment.
"I really don't know where you are from, you are already this old and still don't have a wife. When I was your age, I already had three wives!"
After these words were spoken, even the wolf couldn't help but say in his heart.
Obviously, it's the ninjas on your side that are more wrong...
Then Uzui looked at Shinobu Kocho, whose face was slightly red, and Wolf, who was still calm beside her. His expression changed and he let out a strange sigh.
"Alas...it turns out that getting a wife will be more helpful for your emotional recovery..."
"It's still not necessary..."
The wolf quickly refused. He didn't even understand the most basic friendship, let alone love which was obviously much more complicated.
The redness on Shinobu Kocho's face faded away, and she returned to her normal serious expression as she spoke to Uzui.
"Master Yinzhu, please don't lead the wolf into bad things!"
Hearing this, Yu Zui's mouth twitched slightly and a few veins popped out on his forehead.
"You little brat... I'm Zhu! I'm your boss, why are you talking to me like that?"
But in the face of Uzui's questioning, Shinobu Kocho was not afraid. She frowned and continued to stare at Uzui until she glared him away.
There was nothing Uzui could do, he pouted unhappily and muttered something, then turned his head to look at the wolf and touched his chin.
"Tsk... adolescent brat... In that case, Sekiro, I will teach you a new technique that you can use when you don't know how to respond to the other person's emotions."
"what?"
Ignoring Shinobu Kocho who was blushing again for some reason, Wolf looked at Uzui with some anticipation.
"That means putting the other person's situation into your own situation!"
--------
Looking at Toshisaburo whose neck was red, Uzui's words echoed in the wolf's mind, and he imagined what he would do if he encountered such a scene.
As expected... I still can't imagine... Is that guy who married three wives really reliable...
Why not just agree to him... He doesn't look like a bad guy...
Thinking this in his mind, he said this to Toshisaburo.
"If you just want to take a look, then yes."
He handed the wedge pill to Toshisaburo, but the other party pushed the knife back with a red neck and pointed it at the doll called Yuichi Zero-Shiki not far from the wolf.
"To be honest, this puppet is a combat puppet left by my ancestors. It was made to imitate a swordsman who was extremely powerful at the time. In order to restore his sword skills, he had to be equipped with six arms."
Hearing this, the wolf was slightly startled.
It takes six hands to restore his sword skills. It's hard to imagine how strong this swordsman is!
And Toshisaburo hasn't stopped talking yet.
"It is precisely because of his strong strength that he attracts many powerful swordsmen to challenge him, and at the same time he can hone his skills very well, so..."
"Go fight Yoshi Ichiro! I want to see you fight him with that sword!"
Tetsuzuka, who had regained consciousness at some point and stood up, shouted excitedly.
After saying that, he excitedly pulled the somewhat embarrassed Min Saburo to the place closest to the puppet and the wolf, fearing that he would miss any details.
"..."
"it is good…"
Holding a knife in one hand and a key in the other, he slowly walked towards the doll named Yuichiroshiki that the two people were talking about.
After searching around the doll, I finally found the socket for the key on its neck.
Lift the key, insert it into the keyhole and turn it.
With a click, the Yuan 10 type trembled, and then began to move slowly.
Taking advantage of this moment, the wolf took a few steps back, held the knife in front of him and calmly waited for Yuan Yiling's attack.
A swordsman with six arms... Come on...
bass!
The next moment, the puppet's six arms waved together, and it took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the wolf and swung its knife!
clang!
The knife was powerful and deep, but the wolf still reacted in time and raised his knife to deflect it. Sparks flew between the two of them, illuminating the dark forest for a moment.
"Oh!"
Seeing this scene, Koutsuka's eyes lit up. Based on his many years of experience in sword forging, he knew that although sparks flew when the sword in Ugamaru's hand collided with the sword in the puppet's hand, the blade was not actually damaged at all.
The wolf in the fight had no time to pay attention to these things. One of Yuan Yiling's arms holding the knife was bounced away by him, but the opponent had six hands!
Next, two cold lights attacked the wolf closely.
Ding, ding!!
Bounce.
Then the two turned into three, four... until finally six sword shadows slashed towards the wolf at the same time!
But Wolf's expression remained calm, his eyes moved slightly, and his all-seeing ninja eyes allowed him to see the flaws in the impenetrable sword net at this moment!
With a turn of his wrist, he used the wedge-shaped ball to cut at the flaws as if it were his arm!
In an instant, countless sparks exploded in front of the two of them, like fireworks blooming in the dark night.
The two people who were watching the fight were already stunned.
Shocked by the unusual fight between the two, Toshisaburo muttered to himself in a daze.
"This is the first time I've seen someone fight with Yuichiro-shiki like this..."
And Tietsuzuka was beating his chest and stamping his feet excitedly, and the air he exhaled through his mouth shone through the pouting mouth of the Fire Man Mask, just like a boiling kettle.
"The sword didn't break even after enduring such an attack. This is the peerless sword I'm looking for!"
At this time, the sparks in the forest gradually became less and less, and the battle between the two gradually came to an end...
