Chapter 108 Is that so...
"I want to be stronger!"
“…Why are you looking for me?”
Wolf asked in confusion as he looked at Inosuke standing in front of him.
Inosuke's answer was more decisive.
"Because you are strong, I want to be as strong as you!"
Looking at Inosuke's serious face, there was a hint of hesitation in Wolf's eyes. Considering Inosuke's talent, he was indeed very suitable to be a ninja, but in the end, the hesitation in Wolf's eyes turned into determination.
"You want to become stronger... go find the Fuzugawa."
This era no longer needs ninjas...
Hearing what the wolf said, Inosuke shook his head and refused.
"No, even if you don't want to teach me, I won't learn from him!"
Although his expression hidden under the mask could not be seen, Wolf could clearly feel the change in Inosuke's emotions and said secretly in his heart.
Glass heart...
"Damn that shady old man with a sword on his back!"
Seeing that Wolf was still unwilling to give in, Inosuke had no choice but to give Wolf a strange nickname. Then he sat back angrily, his eyes fixed in the direction of the brothers Busuigawa and Tokito.
The wolf didn't care at all. Inosuke's interruption just now was just a small episode. At this moment, he started studying the large sword on his back.
He pulled it out slowly and held it in front of him, but no matter how you looked at it, it was just a large, hard sword, and it did not absorb his life force when he pulled it out.
But when Wolf transformed into Shura and faced Yu Hu in the Sword Forging Village, the large sword did turn into the red Immortal Sword [Bai Lei] in his memory.
I'm afraid that only when you become Shura, the Undying Slash will appear...
But now…I can’t even maintain my sanity as Shura.
Thinking of this, Wolf frowned, not because he longed for Shura's powerful strength, but because the current situation was not safe.
Last night, Kokushibo's words seemed to be expressing a request or intention for cooperation, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that the other party also came to you with a purpose.
And the other party's goal is exactly what he is most reluctant to do, but if Kokushibo finds out that he doesn't have the strength he had then...
Even if I can defeat the stronger Kokushibo now, will the flames on his body draw out the red flames in my body?
None of this is known...
Holding his left arm, the wolf lowered his head and kept thinking in his heart.
But at this moment, the call of Busei Gawa reached his ears.
"Hey! Hirata! You kid, I've called you so many times and you still haven't come to your senses. Come on and eat, or we have to keep going!"
Snapped!
A grilled fish was slammed heavily in his hand. When Wolf slowly raised his head, he could only see the back of Busei and Amane who was looking at him worriedly.
His eyes gradually returned to their usual calmness.
Yes... The purpose of his trip was to change Minako back to her original form...
Walking to the campfire and sitting down, the wolf quietly ate the grilled fish, and Tianyin's worried look gradually turned back into a gentle smile.
Since early this morning she noticed that the wolf was different from yesterday. Although the wolf's face was still expressionless, there was deep worry in his eyes and he was thinking silently from time to time.
All of this exposed the wolf's uneasy heart at the moment. Seeing the wolf return to normal, she naturally felt happy for the wolf.
However, the three children on the other side of the campfire were not in such a good mood. Muichiro poked the big bump on his brother Youichiro's face and asked curiously and surprised.
"Why can you cut yourself when you swing the knife, brother?"
When Youchilang heard this, his face turned dark, but Wuichilang still kept poking him.
"I'm sick!"
After a loud roar, he gently pushed Wuichiro's shoulder, and Wuichiro's body immediately went limp like a deflated ball and collapsed to the ground. He wanted to stand up, but the pain in his waist and abdomen made him scream involuntarily.
"very painful!"
Then he gave up struggling and lay on the ground, looking at the vast blue sky and muttering to himself.
“…Even if you can use the sword form, it won’t work if your physical fitness can’t keep up…”
"Huff, huff, huff."
The sound of wolfing down food was heard at this time, attracting Wuichiro's attention.
Qiang propped up his arms and looked at Inosuke in a stiff posture. Sure enough, the other party was holding a grilled fish in one hand and eating it with meat and bones. At the same time, he stared fiercely at the wolf who was eating the grilled fish slowly, and showed a provocative smile from time to time.
With a puzzled expression, Muichiro asked him.
"Inosuke, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Inosuke turned his head, his mouth and hands still moving. After stuffing his mouth full of fish meat and mumbling something, he went back to staring at the wolf.
"I'm competing with that shady old man to see who can eat faster!"
Dark uncle? It must be Mr. Hirata... Inosuke is giving random nicknames again...
With dead fish eyes, Muichiro looked at the wolf opposite who was silently eating fish, and then he looked at Inosuke.
"Mr. Hirata doesn't seem to have any intention of competing with you..."
"Shut up, brother, this abominable uncle... the mountain king asked him to teach him some skills, but he dared not agree!"
Ichiro, who was sitting next to Inosuke and had been a little unhappy since a while ago, suddenly remembered what Wolf said to him yesterday, and spoke in a faint voice into Inosuke's ear.
"He himself said that if a child learns his skills, he will never grow taller..."
"Huh? Ahem!"
Hearing this, an image appeared in Inosuke's mind.
The thin man stood among a group of wild boars and shouted loudly.
"I am the king of the mountain!"
However, due to his short stature, he was completely blocked by the wild boars even with his hands raised high, and he did not have any dignity as a mountain king.
The imagination ended, and Inosuke, with his mouth full of fish, shuddered and shouted in fear.
"I don't want to be a dwarf all my life!"
The wolf, who could hear their voices, stopped eating the fish and looked at Inosuke calmly, with the corners of his mouth lowered slightly.
I really want to beat him up...
But Inosuke didn't notice anything wrong with the wolf. He looked at the wolf with pity in his eyes and muttered something in a voice that the wolf couldn't hear.
"How pitiful... I forgive you..."
But the mumbling was deafening to the wolf, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Tsk..."
! !
Hearing the wolf smacking its lips, Uzui Kawai who was beside the wolf looked over in horror. This was the first time he heard a wolf make such a sound. He quickly looked at the wolf's left arm and breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing.
Then he looked at the other side of the camp where Youzhilang was sitting there, looking unhappy, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.
Muttering to himself.
"Did I teach you badly..."
The wolf with a gloomy face turned his head and looked at Busou curiously. Tianyin, who was standing next to him, saw Busou remained silent and came to the wolf and whispered
"Just now, when Ichiro was learning the Ichi-no-kata, he often hit me, but Ichiro learned it very well, which made Fuzugawa doubt himself... Oh, if only their ancestors' breathing method had not been lost..."
Hearing what Tianyin said, Busui suddenly remembered the only upper-rank demon who knew the breathing method, Kokushibo, whom he had fought in the Swordsmith Village.
At this moment he said this in a self-deprecating manner.
"Hmph... The breathing method of the Upper Rank One is definitely ancient enough. Maybe it will be suitable for that brat."
Looking at the somewhat lost Busou, Wolf stroked his chin, not knowing what he was thinking, while Tianyin frowned and patted Busou on the back lightly.
"Please don't say that, Mr. Busuigawa... And the breathing method of that devil must not have been passed down."
Just when Busei was about to say something, a heavy breathing sound was heard from the side.
call!
Then, a long stream of white air came out of the mouth of the wolf that stood up.
His figure suddenly changed from before, and his right hand slowly climbed up the handle of the knife.
Then pull it out suddenly!
Wow!
The sharp sword wind mixed with the golden crescent flew through the air and flew towards the dead tree in the distance.
boom!
The dead tree fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust on the ground.
Under the astonished gazes of Busei and Amane, Wolf sheathed his sword, slowly turned around and glanced sideways at the two of them.
"Is... is that so..."
