The breeze passed by.
The air was filled with the fragrance of the morning dew.
The purple-haired girl drove away the ninja dog by her side before drawing the sword.
It was the Shinobu she borrowed from the Inuzuka clan.
Now that the instigator has been found, Maoyue Xiyan naturally let it return.
The next thing she has to do is to defeat the Uchiha boy in front of her.
Uzue Xiyan didn't know exactly what kind of mentality he drew against a five-year-old blind boy.
Perhaps it was because I wanted to find out the truth about the disappearance of Xi Rihong yesterday, and I wanted to protect my companion and prevent her from being harmed.
Or when I heard that Chiba easily defeated Asuma at the Maruko shop with his superb swordsmanship at Yuhihong, the idea of wanting to fight Chiba emerged in Uzuki's heart.
What is the reason, Uzuki Xiyan can't tell, she herself is a very complicated person.
However, she knew that next she had to deal with the person in front of her with all her strength.
Not only for the evening red, but also for myself.
Because she herself is also a swordsman.
Having inherited Konoha Ryuu's swordsmanship, she trains hard every day, and it is her primary goal to further her swordsmanship.
Challenge the limit is the best way to break through the bottleneck.
She never considered herself a genius, she was just the hardest one.
When she was still at the ninja school, she knew someone who could be regarded as an opponent.
A swordsman named Moonlight Hayate.
Like himself, he is also the successor of Konoha Ryuu's swordsmanship.
Uzue Xiyan also recognized the opponent's strength.
The countless encounters between the two have allowed their swordsmanship to continue to improve.
However, when Moonlight Hayate revealed a feeling of Ruowuruuo to Uyue Xiyan, Uyue Xiyan stopped looking for Moonlight Xiyan to practice his sword.
She doesn't hate each other, but, at least at this stage, constantly breaking through and surpassing herself is Uzue Xiyan's primary goal.
And this time the opponent is Uchiha Chiba.
A man who inherited Marine Admiral Fujitora's swordsmanship.
The fighting spirit revealed from Uzuki Yuyan's body made Chiba realize the deepest ambition in the opponent's heart.
Only a swordsman can understand a swordsman.
"That's it, you…are you someone with such ambitions?"
Chiba spoke calmly.
He stood in front of Maoyue Xiyan with a cane in both hands.
Not moving like a mountain.
"I don't simply think that asking about the truth about Xi Rihong is an excuse."
"It's just that your ambition will not deceive people."
The moment she heard these words, Maoyue Xiyan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Is it an excuse to ask the truth about Xi Rihong?
Uzue Xiyan couldn't admit it.
However, as Chiba said, she has an almost crazy desire to fight against her opponent who is also a swordsman.
In this age of war, who is not crazy?
As long as you can become stronger, what about crazy?(Read more @ mtlnation.com)
Thinking of this, Maoyue Xiyan smiled.
"Sure enough, the swordsman and the swordsman… can understand each other!"
"you are wrong."
Chiba calmly corrected.
"Swordsman and swordsman can indeed understand each other, but…that is based on mutual equality!"
"You are simply seen through by me!"
As he said, Chiba slowly drew out his crutch and sword.
It was an unpretentious gesture of drawing a sword.
Shake it lightly.
In the air, cold light flashed by.
"Hidden in this knife, can you really see through the ambition?"
"And the weight contained in this knife, can you really bear it?"
···
At this moment, Chiba looked up.
Face the purple-haired girl in front of her.
And at this moment of raising the head, what bloomed out was a devil-like fragrance.
Uyue Xiyan had never felt this way before.
The person in front of her was obviously a teenager five years younger than herself, and she couldn't even see the other person's eyes.
but–
The feeling of being stared at made her all the hairs stand upside down.
That kind of keenness like a deer to a lion made her shudder in just a moment.
A flash of cold light suddenly made Uzue Xiyan's pupils shrink.
that moment.
She seemed to see countless slashes flying towards her.
In the next second, she was cut into pieces by this invincible slash and fell into a pool of blood.
Is this illusion?
No, this is an illusion.
Uyue Xiyan's right hand has been placed on the hilt of the sword around her waist.
She wanted to pull the knife out.
but–
The knife at this time seemed to be frozen in the scabbard.
The knife on his waist was terribly heavy.
Is she unable to pull it out?
No, she didn't dare to pull it out.
She didn't have the courage to face the young man with a knife in front of her.
Obviously Chiba is standing in front of him.
He did nothing.
Just standing there quietly holding a cane sword.
However, she just can't move.
Can't understand.
why?
This–
Is it the opponent I just provoke?
Who is he?
Who is he?
Where is the gap between me and him?
At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Such a gap is called a level!"
After all, Chiba took the knife back.
After speaking, he turned around and picked up the dropped ball.
Chiba touched it, and found that there was still residual temperature.
Then he smiled.
"Well, it shouldn't affect the taste!"
With a cane, Chiba's figure drifted away.
Wait until Chiba is far away.
The trembling on Maoyue Xiyan's body barely stopped.
——Such a gap is called a level!
Chiba's words seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
Who is he?
Just a five-year-old boy.
Why can you release such a momentum?
That kind of momentum seems to have gone through thousands of tempers.
The current Uzue Xiyan couldn't understand it.
The coercion that came from Fujitora's smile, in the time of One Piece, there is such a collective name.
——Great Swordsman!
