Naruto: Eight Gates Hidan

Chapter 67 Kasuga Mountain City
The city-state where the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni lives is called Kasugayama Castle, which is located in the southerly area, close to the mouth of the river. It is relatively rich in supplies and has the reputation of fertile soil in southern Sichuan.

The daimyo's residence is in the northeast of the city, and the prefecture occupies a very large area. The daimyo himself lives in the castle tower in the center.As for Xin Yaoji, she lives in Ji Yao Pavilion on the south side all the year round.

Xinyao relies on Fei Duan very much, but in the mansion, she also has to show the temperament of a famous lady.Because of Fei Duan's special status, no one dared to order him casually, and he still only accepted Quan Ying's deployment.

After staying in the mansion for more than half a year, I haven't seen the Otonin Assassin show up for a long time.Even though Hiduan was patient enough, he also began to feel bored.Occasionally accompanying Xinyao to visit his father in the Tianshou Pavilion, what he sees is always a drunk and rice bag who indulges in wine, sex and pleasure.Fei Duan didn't like him very much, and an old servant reported that this incompetent daimyo invited him to join his guardian ninja many times, but was rejected.

"Master Fei Duan. He will be upset if he always refuses my father's words." Xin Yaoji whispered on the way back.

"Unhappy? Then you want me to leave you?"

Fei Duan pinched her little Qiong's nose.

"No," Xinyao said shyly, "it's just that my father puts his temper there."

"it does not matter!"

The relationship between Daimyo and Ninja Village is somewhat complicated.It can be said that the daimyo is the most powerful person in the country, while Ninja Village is just its military institution.But in the ninja world with ninjas as the core, ninjas are almost the country's main military reserve force.

When the daimyo is weak and incompetent, Ninja Village, who is in charge of the military, will naturally become tough.Of course, personally speaking, Hiduan doesn't care.And no matter how stupid this daimyo is, he will not easily offend the person appointed by Senna-sama.At that time, Master Quan Nai's words were mostly said to the old servant on purpose, so as not to cause any troubles by this big name who doesn't have long eyes.

As the dark executioner who purged the rebel forces, Hiduan knew exactly how bad the country had become under his rule.The first daimyo, in order to maintain the stability of the country in the three wars, traveled around, and finally died of old age and illness. Fortunately, the eldest son took over and the situation was stable. Otherwise, he probably would not have survived.Either they were invaded and destroyed, or they were killed by the rebel forces.

"Lord Fei Duan, I heard that a new samurai has arrived today, should we go and have a look?" Xin Yao was wearing heavy attire, shaking Fei Duan's sleeve.

Fei Duan was a little distressed. These old appearances and makeup were under the banner of solemnity, but in fact they were nothing more than squeezing people's free souls.

"Samurai? Guard your guard?"

This land is also composed of two kinds of power, one is the ninja and Tangyin sect, and the other is the recruited samurai.It is also the backbone of the mansion stationed all year round.If the defense force of the daimyo mansion was composed entirely of ninjas, it is estimated that he would have been manipulated into a puppet long ago.

"Yes, the previous old warriors are all getting old, so a new batch of newcomers have been replaced."

"Young man? Tsk tsk, little pervert, who do you fancy again?" Fei Duan teased.

"No way!" Xin Yao said coquettishly, "You are the only one in my heart!"

Fei Duan felt a little flustered, and his steps became much lighter.

The new samurai were young men in heavy armor.And this armor is also exquisite, it is said that it was custom-made from the Iron Country.The country of iron is also the only country that does not rely on ninja villages, but only on samurai.Covered by heavy snow all the year round, it is the lack of resources that sharpen the warriors' excellent sword skills that makes it a very discourse neutral country among the five major powers, and many major issues will be discussed there.

The selection criteria for the warriors is also very simple, one-on-one combat.Among them was a samurai who made Fei Duan take a closer look. He was wearing smaller armor, but his moves were extremely fierce, with the vicious tendency of exchanging injuries for death.

"Something interesting!"

Fei Duan praised.

The competition ended soon, and ten guards were selected according to the rankings, including the original guards, who were also wiped out in the challenge.

Xin Yao presented awards to every warrior, especially the first warrior who won the laurels. When Xin Yao asked him what he wanted, the answer he gave surprised her a bit.

"You want to challenge me?" Fei Duan was a little taken aback.

"Yes!"

The voice is still a little immature, it seems that it is a young boy.

"Interesting! Come on."

Fei Duan disappeared, and appeared in front of him the next moment, looking at him with his hands behind his back.

The young samurai's sword is very fast. Although the tricks are mediocre, every time he swings the sword, he has an indomitable momentum.

But these things are not enough for Fei Duan.The instant body technique is the best application of body technique and chakra proficiency. The opponent's knife can't touch Fei Duan at all, but he was almost beheaded several times.

The young samurai suddenly retracted his saber, lowered his body, and gradually grasped the handle of the saber.

"Interesting!" Fei Duan could see that he was gathering momentum.

Soon, a white light flashed the moment the knife was unsheathed, and the young warrior shot instantly.Before Fei Duan could raise his sword in the future, the two of them crossed each other.

"I won!"

The knife twirled a few times in the boy's hand before sheathing it.

But when he turned around, Fei Duan was standing next to Xin Yao intact.The original place was nothing more than an earth escape clone, which turned into dust as the sleeves were cut off.

"This"

Xin Yao kicked Fei Duan, thinking it was not good for him to tease others like this.

The gulf between samurai and ninja is not so easy to bridge.Although the sword is fast enough to intimidate the ninja to some extent, there are too many ninjutsu that can play with the samurai in the palm of his hand.

"I don't agree!"

The young warrior took over the armor, revealing a pair of familiar eyes.

"Huh? It's you!"

Xin Yao was a little surprised, the other party was still an acquaintance, that is, the boy Fei Duan had rejected.

Hidan was not surprised, he heard that he had picked up a samurai sword.Hidan knew which way the kid was going to go.

"In such a short time, you have honed yourself to this extent, your character is commendable!"

Fei Duan applauded.

"But it doesn't change anything. The gap between you and me hasn't changed a bit."

Hearing this, the young man trembled. He put in ten times and a hundred times of effort, thinking that he could finally stand in front of that man and let him face him squarely, but he didn't expect that he was still like this.

"Is it because you are a ninja?" the boy asked unwillingly.

"No," Fei Duan shook his head, "The fear we face is different, and the height that people can see is also limited."

"I've drawn the ridge for you, so that you can understand the gap and the high point to look up to."

"It's true that you have extraordinary perseverance in not being knocked down, but what you pursue is victory! So you sharpen your sword and try to defeat the enemy quickly, but you never think about reaching the same height as me in terms of strength."

Fei Duan was a little sorry, the other party took a fork in the road.It is like a man sharpening his knife, trying to make up for his own strength with weapons, but actually unable to cut the stone because he does not have enough strength.

"Then can I worship you as my teacher again?" The stubborn boy never gave up.

"No, you are not this material." Fei Duan shook his head, the practice of ninjutsu is not that simple.

"However," Fei Duan raised his voice, "If I have time, I will teach you how to make the knife in your hand faster and more powerful."

Hidan's words ignited hope in the boy's heart.He longed to become stronger, longed to change his powerless appearance.

"But you have to understand that in addition to beliefs, people also have a goal."

"Only in this way can we go further and be more determined!" Fei Duan persuasively and persuasively.

The young man took a deep breath, and looked at Xin Yao under Fei Duan's astonished eyes.

"Guard you, my Highness!"

Looking at the boy kneeling on one knee, Fei Duan had black lines all over his head.This young man probably fell in love for the first time, and was fascinated by Xin Yao at that time.

Isn't this finding a rival for yourself?
Xinyao was a little surprised at first, but was amused when she saw Fei Duan's aggrieved look, and winked at Fei Duan, angrily, he flicked her on the forehead while others were not paying attention.

Alas. asking for trouble!Fei Duan felt a little bitter.
