Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 18 The Demon Sword
"Then, Master Matsuda should tell us the things we concealed, for example, what is that thing?" Tokugawa Yukimura said, staring into Matsuda Rentaro's eyes.

After the disguised ninja left, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone in the Matsuda family stared at their young master, lest he would conflict with the samurai in front of them.

"This is something that our Matsuda family did wrong, and I will explain it clearly to everyone." Matsuda Rentaro's words made everyone feel relieved, "Take the young lady down to rest." Matsuda Rentaro touched sister's head, said softly.

"Brother." The little guy looked up at his elder brother, his wet eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Tokugawa Yukimura also nodded to Brother Heikiyo to pay attention to their safety. Although the fake butler was seriously injured, he still had accomplices hiding in the dark, so he had to guard against them.

After giving the order, the two moved to the tea room and sat down.Matsuda Rentaro made a pot of tea for both parties, and then slowly explained the whole story.

"Your Excellency Tokugawa must also know that my Matsuda family is in poor condition recently." Matsuda Rentaro said.

"I heard that your family's financial situation is not very good." Tokugawa Yukimura replied, taking a sip of tea.

"Since my father has gotten older, he has become more and more incapable of casting. As the heir, I also have physical limitations, so I can only do some paperwork." Rentaro Matsuda smiled bitterly, "That's it We missed a lot of orders, the Ninja World War is an opportunity for other workshops, but compared with them who are getting more and more prosperous, the Matsuda family is even worse, not to mention there are other factors."

Tokugawa Yukimura couldn't help but nodded when he thought of the gambling Matsuda Hibiki.

"In this situation, several mysterious people found my father and wanted to cooperate with him to create a new type of ninja. I later found out that those were the traitorous ninjas of the wuren. They stole the ninja clan of the wuren. The information about the beheading broadsword in the Kirin Seven Ninja Swords asked my father to create a similar ninja sword for them. My father also thought this was an opportunity to revitalize the Matsuda clan, so he agreed to cooperate with them."

"Oh?" Tokugawa Yukimura thought of the weird ninja sword he encountered, and asked, "They succeeded?"

"No, to be precise, they failed. What my father forged in the end was a demon sword."

"Demon Sword?"

"That knife not only absorbs blood and destroys Chakra, but also amplifies the killing desire in the user's heart, turning him into a beast that can only kill. Those rebels could not accept this result, and finally kidnapped my mother and threatened my father I didn’t expect that they would attack my father if the transformation was unsuccessful.” Rentaro Matsuda knelt on the ground and begged, “Please help me rescue my mother and avenge my father.”

"This is natural, and this is also my mission." Tokugawa Yukimura quickly helped him up, "The last thing that ninja said was that demon sword?"

"No, the demon sword is already in their hands. I think what they want is my father's casting notes and other materials. They see that there is no hope of transformation, and they are going to bring the materials to find new collaborators."

"Well, I promise, they won't succeed." The two had an in-depth discussion on the enemy's plan, and then reached an agreement.

The first night of frequent incidents passed like this. Early the next morning, after a busy night, the three people who had set up the security devices met in the courtyard. from the current situation.

"There are three identified enemies now. Apart from the butler, there are two other servants who are also fake. No one has seen them since last night, but according to the degree of injury of the fake butler, at least within three or four days. You don’t have to worry about the enemy’s attack.”

Tokugawa Yukimura also told the two of the conversation last night, and both of them thought silently after listening.

"If what Matsuda Rentaro said is true, then we are in quite a lot of trouble." Hirakiyojikang also became worried rarely.

"Hmph, he didn't hide everything, just like the whereabouts of the knife, it's not where he said it was at Rebellion."

"Hey? Yukimura, how do you know?"

"It's the body of the deceased." Pingqing Jiding replied, "The deceased was obviously killed by a knife from the front, but there was no expression of surprise on his face, and there was no sign of movement. It may be possible if he was attacked from the back. This shows that , the deceased accepted death voluntarily, and considering the characteristics of the demon sword and Mr. Yukimura's attack, then there is only one truth, Masao Matsuda committed suicide."

"Yeah," Tokugawa Yukimura also sighed, "The ghost-faced man who attacked me at that time should be Masao Matsuda. He attacked me under the control of the demon sword, and fled quickly after he woke up. The ninja wanted to prevent me from catching him. He stopped me when he discovered the deal between them. It's just that they didn't expect that Matsuda Masao, who was unwilling to be controlled by the demon sword, might choose to commit suicide in order not to hurt his family."

"Then if it's suicide, where is that demon sword?" Pingqing Jikang asked in confusion.

"It's Rentaro Matsuda," said Tokugawa Yukimura, "who knows his father's meditation habits, he naturally went to the quiet room to find his father immediately after hearing the sound, and then happened to meet Matsuda Masao who returned and committed suicide in the quiet room, to understand the situation He hurried to our place after he hid the demon sword, which is why he was the last one among the crowd to get there."

"This nasty little boy dared to deceive us, and acted in front of us in a serious manner. But why did he hide that ominous demon sword? Didn't he know that his father committed suicide only because he couldn't control the sword? Is it?"

"You have to know that people who are about to drown will grab any life-saving straw. Even if the Matsuda family survives this crisis, their decline is inevitable, unless they can really master the casting process of the demon sword and successfully transform it. Besides, he is a smart person, and a smart person has one characteristic, that is, he thinks that others can't do it doesn't mean he can't do it, so he hides the demon sword without hesitation."

"Then should we help him? His actions are obviously playing tricks on us, putting us in danger. If you want me to say, just beat up this little boy, and then pat his ass and leave." Pingqing Jikang muttered .

"Idiot, just follow Yukimura-sama's orders for this kind of thing."

"Of course we need to help. Isn't this our task, and I'm very interested in that demon sword."

On the other side, stroking the glowing red blade of the demon sword, Rentaro Matsuda muttered to himself: "Father, I will definitely transform 'Sakurabuki' successfully and lead the Matsuda family to glory again."
