"Who! How dare you break into Isshin Dojo!"
"That silver-haired one, put away that arrogant look in your eyes!"
"Brothers, drive out these unidentified guys!"
Dozens of apprentices wearing white training uniforms, holding bamboo knives, surrounded him menacingly.
Most of them have never seen the world, let alone read today's newspapers.
In their eyes, this is a sacred land of swordsmanship. Even if the king comes, he must be polite. How can they tolerate this group of outsiders running wild?
Faced with this group of ants who don't know the heights of the sky.
Tobirama stood there, not even bothering to take his hands out of his pocket.
Hancock behind him was about to explode, but was stopped by his look.
"Too noisy."
Tobirama faintly spit out three words.
Immediately, his ruby-like eyes condensed slightly.
Haoshoku Haki.
Buzz!!!
An invisible shock wave, centered on Tobirama, swept across the entire yard instantly like a breeze.
There was no sound.
But this crushing will, for ordinary people, is like the sky falling and the earth falling!
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Dozens of apprentices who were clamoring to kill people just now suddenly turned over Byakugan and fell to the ground like wheat, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.
The world is quiet.
"Humph, a bunch of trash."
Tobirama stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked straight to the corridor of the dojo.
There, Koushiro was standing in cold sweat.
Obviously, this secretive swordsman is sober.
Moreover, he knew exactly who the silver-haired man in front of him was.
That Emperor Uchiha who killed Celestial Dragons, deposed the general, and offered a reward of one trillion!
"Huh..."
Koushiro took a deep breath, suppressed the fear of facing the apex predator in his heart, pushed up his glasses, and bowed deeply to Tobirama:
"I didn't expect that the legendary His Majesty Emperor Uchiha would come to my little dojo in the countryside."
"I wonder what your Majesty has to do with your visit?"
Koushiro is a smart man.
Facing this kind of monster that can destroy the world, there is no point in resisting.
He just wants to keep the dojo and these children.
Tobirama walked up to Koushiro and his eyes fell on the white scabbard on his waist.
"I don't like beating around the bush."
Tobirama Stretch out a hand, palm upward.
"That knife, Wado Ichimonji."
"I'm attracted to it."
"Hand it over."
The tone was calm, but it conveyed a sense of natural domineering.
It's like asking for tribute from a minister, which cannot be refused or discussed.
Koushiro's body stiffened suddenly.
It was one of the twenty-one skills of the Great Knife. It was the inheritance of his family, and it was... planned to be left to his daughter Kuina.
"Your Majesty..."
Koushiro had a look of embarrassment on his face, and the fingers holding the handle of the knife turned slightly white, "This knife is a family heirloom. It is of great significance to me, can you..."
"Meaning?"
Tobirama chuckled lightly and interrupted him.
"In front of me, weak people have no qualifications to talk about meaning."
"I am informing you, not discussing with you."
"Or hand in the sword."
"Either I kill you, flatten this place, and then take the knife away."
"It's your choice."
The cold murderous intent instantly locked onto Koushiro's throat.
As long as he says no, his head will fall to the ground in the next second.
Koushiro smiled bitterly.
He glanced at the unconscious children in the yard, and finally sighed.
It is easy to die for the honor of the family, but these children are innocent.
"I... understand."
Koushiro took off Wado Ichimonji from his waist with trembling hands, lifted it up with both hands, and prepared to hand it to Tobirama.
"Stop!!!"
Just then.
A clear but angry shout came from the dojo.
A girl with short blue hair and eyes as stubborn as a wolf rushed out suddenly.
Kuina.
The talented girl who dreams of becoming the world's greatest swordsman even though she is a girl.
She held down her father's hand, guarding the knife tightly, and looked directly at Tobirama with her angry eyes:
"That's my knife!!"
"That is the glory we want to protect!"
"You robber! Why would you take it away with just one word!"
"Kuina! Shut up!"
Koushiro's face changed drastically and he was scared to death.
This is the murderous Devil! If you contradict him, you will die!
"Quickly apologize to Your Majesty! Back off!" Koushiro wanted to pull his daughter behind him.
"I don't!!"
Kuina shook off his father's hand, pulled out a bamboo knife, and pointed at Tobirama:
"So what if you are the emperor?! If you want this knife, you have to step over my corpse!"
Tobirama looked at this girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, but her eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Interesting."
He raised his hand to stop Hancock who was about to take action, and also stopped Koushiro who wanted to protect his daughter.
"Little girl, why do you ask?"
Tobirama took a step forward, and the oppressive feeling like a deep ocean instantly made it difficult for Kuina to breathe.
"Just because I am stronger than you."
"The truth of this world will always be in the hands of the strong."
"Since you are not convinced..."
Tobirama put his hands behind his back, his eyes joking:
"I'll give you a chance."
"Attack here."
"As long as you can make me take half a step back, I don't want this knife anymore."
"Arrogant!!"
Kuina is a young man at heart after all, and to be so despised, the pride in his heart completely exploded.
"I want to become the world's greatest swordsman!!"
"Drink!!"
Kuina gave a sweet shout, and moved swiftly. The bamboo knife in his hand stabbed Tobirama's throat with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
This sword is fast, accurate and ruthless!
There are even some prototypes of cutting iron!
However.
In Tobirama's eyes, this movement was as slow as a snail.
Dang!
There was a crisp sound.
The bamboo knife stopped in mid-air.
It wasn't that it was blocked, but that it was stopped by the invisible chakra wave on Tobirama!
"Too weak."
Tobirama didn't even move his hand, just a slight vibration of chakra.
Boom!
Kuina felt a huge force coming, the tiger's mouth burst open, and the whole person flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily on the wooden floor five meters away.
"Ahem..."
Kuina was in pain so much that tears were rolling in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
"Kuina!" Koushiro was so distressed that she wanted to step forward.
"Don't come here!"
Kuina shouted, supported his body with trembling arms, and stood up unsteadily.
The white training clothes were stained with dust and blood, but her eyes still did not extinguish.
"It's not over yet..."
"I can still fight!"
She rushed forward again.
Chop, chop, stab, pick!
She used all she had learned throughout her life, and every move was a life-threatening stance.
But the result didn't change anything.
Bang!
The first time I was knocked away.
Bang!
The second time he was bounced away by the protective energy.
Bang!
The third time, Tobirama stretched out a finger and flicked her bamboo knife.
The bamboo knife shattered, and Kuina smashed through the paper door and rolled into the house.
Crush.
This is not a fight at all, this is an adult teasing a baby.
"Give up."
Tobirama looked at Kuina, who was covered in injuries but still struggling to crawl out, with an indifferent tone.
"Your talent is good, but in the face of the absolute power gap, the so-called skills are meaningless."
"And..."
Tobirama glanced at her body and said in a cruel tone deliberately:
"You are a woman."
"In this world, women's bodies are inherently weaker than men's."
This sentence is like a sharp knife, accurately piercing the deepest scar in Kuina's heart.
"No... it's not..."
Kuina's eyes were red, and tears finally burst out of his eyes.
She was holding the broken bamboo handle, her nails were deeply embedded in her palm, and blood was dripping from it.
She turned her head, looked at Koushiro who looked guilty and helpless, and cried hysterically:
"Father! Do you think I can't do it too?"
"Just because I'm a girl... just because I can grow... my strength is not as strong as Zoro... am I destined not to become a great swordsman!"
"You said... girls can't become the number one in the world..."
"I don't believe it! I hate this world!"
Kuina's cries echoed in the empty dojo.
That is an unwillingness to fate and an accusation against common sense.
Koushiro looked away, unable to bear to look at her daughter's desperate eyes.
This is true.
In this world, when female swordsmen reach the later stages, their physical disadvantages will become even greater.
However.
Just when everyone was moved by it.
Tobirama smiled.
It's not a mockery, but a kind of appreciation... for discovering the best uncut jade.
"Hate?"
"Aren't you willing to give in?"
Tobirama walked up to Kuina step by step and looked down at this stubborn girl with tears on her face.
"Since I hate the rules of this world..."
"Then break it."
Tobirama stretched out his hand, and a ball of bright white light condensed in his palm. That was Yang Release Chakra, which represented the power of life and physical evolution.
"Little girl."
"As long as you are willing to surrender to me."
"I will grant you... power above all men."
"I can keep this knife for you."
"As long as you nod, I will let you be the only female sword goddess in this world."
