"Kawamatsu, are you serious? Is the Kaido Beast really dead?!"
Hiyori looked dumbfounded at Kawamatsu, who appeared right in front of her, and exclaimed loudly.
Kawamatsu said slowly, looking warily at Yeruashi and Robin opposite, " It's true, I've double-checked the rumors several times. Everyone says that the Kaido Beast was killed by a young man with silver hair, traveling with a little girl, at the age of about twelve years..."
The longer Kawamatsu spoke, the quieter his voice became, and his eyes, fixed on Yeruashi and Robin, gradually widened.
Kawamatsu's eyes, filled with shock and incomprehension, spasmodically darted between Robin and Yeruashi.
Silver hair, young, twelve-year-old girl...don't the signs coincide with the two people opposite?!
"Kawamatsu?"
Hiyori looked at Kawamatsu with concern, intending to explain the situation to Robin and Yeruashi while his words echoed in her head.
But gradually Hiyori's eyes widened, and then she slowly raised her head, looking at Yeruashi and Robin opposite in a dazed and disbelieving way.
Really they are...
Killed the Kaido Beast?!
Absolute silence reigned.
Hiyori's face had a stunned and disbelieving expression, and Kawamatsu's face was filled with horror and extreme tension.
After a few seconds of silence, Kawamatsu barely recovered and put the blade away, respectfully addressing Yeruashi: "I'm sorry! Sorry for the rudeness!!"
No matter what reason Yeruashi killed the Kaido Beast, it still does not negate the fact that he is the benefactor of the Kozuki Family!
Yeruashi killed Kaido, who had killed Oden in the past.
This was the fulfillment of the Kozuki Family's revenge.
For the samurai of the Country of Vano, this is the highest grace!
"No problem."
Yeruashi smiled.
So cute!
Robin's shining eyes, standing next to Yeruashi, were fixed on Kawamatsu.
Unlike Yeruashi, Robin's reaction to the 'angry talking bird' was completely the opposite.
Kawamatsu hit exactly at the weak point of Robin's 'sense of beauty'.
"The Kaido Beast was the worst enemy of the Kozuki Family, so by killing it, you became our benefactors."
After confirming Yeruashi's identity, Kawamatsu fell to the ground without hesitation, bowed his head, and respectfully said.
His voice was trembling, and tears were pouring from his eyes.
"Kawamatsu..."
Hiyori was very stunned at first, and then gradually came to her senses and also knelt down in front of Yeruashi with her eyes filled with joy.
But at the moment when Hiyori began to kneel, a hand fell on her shoulder.
"Don't get me wrong."
Yeruashi smiled, not allowing Hiyori to kneel down: "I didn't do this for the sake of the Kozuki Family, but because of personal differences with Kaido."
Hiyori was stunned.
Kawamatsu froze and slowly raised his head, looking at Yeruashi with watery eyes.
Yeruashi removed his hand from Hiyori's shoulder: "But everything that follows can be considered my gratitude...I will support you in taking back what rightfully belongs to the Kozuki Family and help you regain control of the Vano Country."
Hiyori froze in place, stunned, when she heard Yeruashi's words, and then knelt down in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you to the benefactor!"
"It is impossible to fully express gratitude for your kindness! Many thanks to the benefactor!!"
Although the Kaido Beast is dead, but even in this case, it will not be so easy to defeat Kurozumi Orochi.
It is not so easy to overthrow a man who has ruled the country for many years.
Not to mention that Momonosuke and the others were sent twenty years into the future.
Now the nine red scabbards will not be able to gather in full force.
But with the support of Yeruashi, the situation will completely change!
With the support of the person who killed the Kaido Beast, Orochi was already far from so scary.
It meant...
That very soon the Kozuki Family's revenge will be finally accomplished!
...
A few days later.
In a bamboo house in the mountains near the flower capital.
Hiyori, originally dressed in worn and shabby clothes, now wore a new kimono, and her cheeks and hair were clean.
Hiyori's pair of big, beautiful eyes shone brightly.
Kawamatsu entered the bamboo house and respectfully bowed to Hiyori: "Princess, the supporters of our family who answered the call are already fully assembled...you can go out to them."
Another reason that the samurai of the Vano Country did not immediately start a rebellion against the Orochi was the lack of a legitimate heir.
The rebellion against the Orochi Shogun must begin on behalf of the Kozuki Family.
There was no news from Momonosuke right now, so Hiyori was the only legitimate heir.
Now only she could represent the will of the Kozuki Family.
"Okay..."
Hiyori nodded, but instead of looking at Kawamatsu, she turned her head in another direction, " Mr. Yeruashi?"
Yeruashi smiled and nodded gently,"Go."
This Hiyori seemed much more cute and cute than the Komurasaki courtesan from the original.
"Then I'll go, mister."
Hiyori bowed respectfully, looking at Yeruashi with her large and bright eyes, and then walked over to Kawamatsu.
Yeruashi looked away from Hiyori, who had followed Kawamatsu, and shook his head.
At this moment, Yeruashi thought about...did he really become a Lolicon?
But the answer was still negative.
It just so happened that at the moment Hancock and the others were too small.
Sure...
He couldn't deny that little Robin, Hancock, and Hiyori were very cute.
Outside.
At least ten thousand supporters of the Kozuki Family gathered around the bamboo house.
The situation was too much different from the original, when years later, many supporters of the Kozuki Family were exhausted by a hard life or simply killed by Orochi people.
Therefore, at least ten thousand warriors immediately arrived at the call of the heiress of the Kozuki Family!
"Princess!"
"Finally...we met again..."
Seeing Hiyori come out, the numerous samurai gathered around the bamboo house began to cheer and cheer.
Some of them even shed tears from their eyes: "Princess, how glad we are that you are all right..."
"Speak up, Princess!"
"Come on...Let's get revenge on that bastard Orochi!!"
Kawamatsu, Ashura Doji, and the others from the nine red scabbards stepped forward, kneeling in front of Hiyori.
Hiyori looked nervously at the samurai kneeling in front of her.
Eight-year-old Hiyori opened her mouth several times, but did not say anything, being very nervous in such a situation.
There was silence.
Kawamatsu and the others remained on their knees.
Hiyori clenched her fists tightly, feeling that her palms were sweating profusely.
At that moment, she involuntarily turned towards the bamboo house and saw Yeruashi standing in the doorway with a soft smile.
At the sight of this smile, Hiyori's tension immediately weakened greatly, replaced by courage and determination.
Hiyori turned back to the samurai.
Her eyes were shining brightly.
"Kozuki Family Warriors!"
"On behalf of the Kozuki Family, I order...Start a rebellion against Kurozumi Orochi!!"
Hiyori's voice was not very loud, but since everyone was silent, it was clearly audible to everyone present.
All the assembled samurai and Shinobi of the Kozuki Family, including Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu, raised their heads.
In the next moment...
"There is!!!"
The heavens were shaken by the loud cry of thousands of warriors, filled with incomparable fighting spirit and bloodlust!
Yeruashi nodded in satisfaction and returned to the bamboo house.
At this moment, Yeruashi's right hand was stroking her chin, and her left hand was holding a small branch, gently waving it in front of her eyes.
What about...planting a tree in the Country of Vano?
The current Yeruashi, of course, has the ability to plant a divine tree.
To plant, you just need to separate the seed of the divine tree.
A new divine tree will rise from the seed and give the fruit of the chakra, after eating which the power of the Yeruashi should increase by another step.
The only problem was that the divine tree could not immediately produce the fruit of the chakra.
This will take a long time.
But.
If we consider that the world of Van Pease is much larger than the world of Naruto, we can assume that after planting, the divine tree will develop much faster.
Initially, Yeruashi was going to plant a divine tree on the last island of Laf Tail, but after thinking about it a little, he decided that planting in the Country of Vano seemed more appropriate.
After all, there are Shinobi here.
