Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 5
Tokugawa Yukimura, who was full of food and drink, lay in the oversized bath, saying that he was so comfortable that he didn't want to move a finger.

Of course, this wasn't pure enjoyment either. Many herbs were added to the bath that were beneficial to his current condition.This is also due to my own status, ordinary people will go bankrupt after a few visits.

It was the first time for Tokugawa Yukimura to look at his own appearance through the emerald green pool water.Short black hair, a resolute face, and brown eyes with a maturity that does not match his age.

"I didn't expect that I would still be able to rely on my face for a day." Tokugawa Yukimura said proudly while touching his face.

"Master, here is your change of clothes." Rina's voice suddenly came from outside the bathroom.

"Oh, I see." Tokugawa Yukimura, who was immersed in his fantasy, blushed a little, as if he had done something bad and was caught.

But then he couldn't help laughing. Could it be that he was affected by his body and became younger mentally?

He shook his head, not thinking about it.Feeling the water in the pool slowly getting colder, he got up and left the bathroom.

Wearing loose clothes, Tokugawa Yukimura sat cross-legged under the porch, carefully maintaining his samurai sword.

Weapons are the other half of a warrior's life, but they can't be sloppy at all.

Use rice paper to lightly brush off the sundries on the knife body, then apply powder and oil, and finish meticulously according to the order in memory.

I don't know if it's an illusion, it seems that there is a trace of bright red seeping into the blade, which cannot be removed.

A little restless, Tokugawa Yukimura knew that he was worried about tomorrow's task.Or is there a lingering fear deep in my heart?
Thinking of the overwhelming thunder and lightning, Tokugawa Yukimura looked at his knife, "Can I cut it with a knife?"

There was no answer, and thinking too much was asking for trouble, so he picked up the knife and jumped into the courtyard to practice the knife.

I didn't practice any subtle moves, just basic knife skills such as sweeping, chopping, dialing, cutting, sweeping, smashing, chopping, and thrusting.

After practicing several times, the mood slowly calmed down, brushed off the snow on his body, and slowly walked back to the verandah.

"The moves are smooth, it seems that your swordsmanship has improved again." Mifune stood not far away at some point and commented, it seems that it has been a long time.

"Father." Tokugawa Yukimura greeted Mifune with some awkwardness. To be honest, no one is used to having an extra father.

"Don't be too polite, just sit down." Mifune nodded, beckoning Tokugawa Yukimura to sit down.

"Yukimura, I saw that you were obviously scattered when you first practiced your sword moves. Is there something on your mind?"

"Father," Tokugawa Yukimura hesitated, "Can swordsmanship really compete with ninjutsu?"

Mifune took out his bong, lit it, took a deep breath, and the orange-red light went on and off.

"It seems that this mission has a great impact on you. Why, are you scared by ninjutsu?"

"Yeah," Tokugawa Yukimura did not hide, "Although I am sure that I can defeat this ninja this time after working hard, but what is even more powerful, I can't imagine what to do in the face of overwhelming ninjutsu."

Mifune tapped the table with a bong, and said: "The sword cuts the body, and the heart cuts the soul. A hero in the sword can also divide mountains and seas. Besides, that level is still too far away for you."

"Yes, I understand." Tokugawa Yukimura replied respectfully, although he still didn't take it seriously in his heart.Because he knows that in another ten or twenty years, by the Fourth Ninja World War, it will completely become a fight between gods and gods. Without the strength of a movie, you can't even count as a supporting role, and you only have a few scenes for the old man.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Yukimura sighed in his heart, who told him that he only saw Payne Liudao attacking Konoha at the beginning, and only heard a few words from others later.If I had known earlier, no matter how bad Hokage was after it collapsed, I would have insisted on watching it.

Afterwards, Mifune gave Yukimura advice on the problems that arose during practice, and then let him go to rest earlier.

However, Tokugawa Yukimura's curiosity and desire for ninjutsu was buried in his heart like a seed.

At night, in the dead of night, a tall rich man's residence in the village still hasn't rested.

A chubby adult looked at the ninja wrapped in black armor standing in front of him, and asked, "How is the end of the matter?"

"There was no accident. The corpses of Guitou and Mingtou have been disposed of, but there are still a few traces noticed by Anbu." The ninja replied without a trace of emotion.

"Hmph, two trash, even a brat can't handle it well, they deserve to die. What about the two Anbu?"

"Please rest assured that they will never appear again."

"The best situation is as you promised, don't make me look down on you ninjas any more."

Hearing this, the ninja raised his head and said, "It's not up to you to judge how well we work." His words were filled with murderous aura.After speaking, he disappeared in an instant.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his temples, and said angrily: "No matter what, they are all lowly ninjas, a group of rats in the gutter."

This failure also made him feel pressured. You must know that it is not a joke that the three ships have coerced the entire Iron Kingdom for more than ten years. The heads of countless enemies have proved this point.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat regretful, but at this point, he could no longer turn back. Whether it was colluding with reactionary ninjas or attacking Mifune's son, any leak would be a disaster.

"If you want to blame, it's because you've been sitting in that position for too long, and your son is so talented that we can't see any hope." He clenched his fists and strengthened his belief.

On the other side, Shinsuke Sakamoto didn't take a break either. He was practicing swordsmanship, and he was doing chopping training again and again.Looking at his hardworking figure, his uncle Sakamoto Satoka behind him had to sigh: "You are really hardworking!"

"I can't help it. I'm not a genius like my younger brother. If I don't work harder, I will be left far behind by him sooner or later." Shinsuke Sakamoto replied without stopping his training.

"Hmph, no matter how talented you are, you're still just a child, and you can never be considered a qualified warrior. This time, he fell badly."

"Yeah, that's why we seniors need to give him more support and let him avoid detours." Shinsuke Sakamoto stopped, turned around and said to his uncle with a smile, "What do you think, uncle?"

"As long as you understand it yourself, I hope he will recognize you as a senior in the end." Satoshi Sakamoto shook his sleeves, turned and left.

"Of course I know what I'm doing, after all, it's her child. I hope you grow up soon, Yukimura." Shinsuke Sakamoto looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

The night is getting deeper, and no one knows how many undercurrents there are under the peaceful surface.
