The Proper Way to Use Blade One
What is the most terrifying ability of the Uchiha Clan?
Sharingan!
Even powerful ninjas can easily fall into the Sharingan's Genjutsu if they're not careful, let alone samurai who can't cultivate Chakra.
When Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou Mangekyo appeared, all the samurai except for Rikaku instinctively took a step back.
This is a biological instinctive reaction when faced with danger.
Although Rikaku didn't retreat, his heart began to race uncontrollably, and his palms were soaked with sweat.
If he could, he really didn't want to confront the Uchiha, even though he didn't know why the Hokage of Konoha would protect a boy of unknown origin.
"Stop!"
Mifune also ran over at this moment, looking in surprise at Uchiha Itachi's grim face.
"What happened?"
Rikaku quickly came over, leaned close to his ear, and recounted the entire story of Uchiha Kei.
After hearing the cause of the matter, Mifune looked at Uchiha Kei with suspicion.
He was tall and slender with handsome features, and looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
The clothes they were wearing were normal clothes, without any family or village markings.
Isn't he from Konoha? And not from the Uchiha?
But if neither of those is true, then what reason would Uchiha Itachi have for protecting her like this?
However, even Uchiha Itachi could not threaten the samurai of the Iron Country!
"Konoha Hokage, please remember your place! This is the Iron Country! Are you a samurai who intends to threaten us on the soil of the Iron Country?"
Mifune's eyes also turned cold.
He knew the consequences of offending Uchiha Itachi.
The reason he rushed over so anxiously was to prevent any conflict between the two.
However, Mifune was also furious that Uchiha Itachi had threatened samurai from other countries without even knowing the facts.
"Threaten?"
Uchiha Itachi's usual calm demeanor had vanished.
His handsome face was covered in frost!
It had been a long time since Uchiha Kei had seen Uchiha Itachi like this.
If he hadn't helped Uchiha Itachi become Hokage, Itachi would probably be this cold-hearted person now.
"If you dare touch him, I promise..."
Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Mifune with cold, murderous eyes.
"I will wipe out your Iron Country, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!"
Mifune's expression turned serious, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the boy beside him.
For the sake of a young boy, Uchiha Itachi's words were undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Iron Country!
Who exactly is this boy?
This actually elicited such a strong reaction from Uchiha Itachi.
"Is that so? I'd like to see how your Konoha manages to wipe out my Iron Country."
Surprised as he was, Mifune snorted coldly, clearly unfazed by Uchiha Itachi's threat.
Uchiha Itachi didn't bother with any more words. A Kunai instantly appeared in his hand, and he raised his foot to charge forward.
Mifune also drew his sword in an instant, glaring menacingly at Uchiha Itachi.
"Itachi, wait."
Just as Uchiha Kei Uchiha Itachi was about to rush forward, Uchiha Kei grabbed his hand.
Uchiha Itachi looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Jing?"
"There's no need to fight to the death; it's just a small misunderstanding."
Uchiha Kei smiled at him, then looked at Mifune.
"You must be Admiral Mifune of the Iron Country?"
Mifune showed no kindness towards Uchiha Kei, and snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"So what if it is?"
"That would be great."
Uchiha Kei wore an innocent smile.
Seeing that smile, Uchiha Itachi suppressed the urge to retreat and stubbornly stood still.
Jing, that guy...
Are they planning to swindle Mifune?
"I've long heard of Mifune's amazing swordsmanship; I'd like to experience it for myself."
Mifune was taken aback, then noticed the Ninja Blade in his hand.
The material is dark, the blade is uneven and pitted, and the edge is dull and lifeless.
It's less of a knife and more of a mold that hasn't been quenched yet.
But for some reason, this dark Ninja Blade held a strange and strong attraction for him.
It's like a cat seeing a mouse, a dog seeing...
Cough cough cough.
Mifune blushed, coughed a few times, and said seriously, "Not many people who have witnessed my swordsmanship have survived."
This statement, even if it's a reminder, is still a threat.
Judging from the boy's age, he's only about fifteen or sixteen. Even if his swordsmanship is impressive, how impressive can it be?
Do you think everyone is a psychopath like Twilight Shadow?
Mifune was completely unaware that, besides Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Kei, who else could be so fiercely protected by Uchiha Itachi?
Uchiha Kei curled his lip.
You're really good at pretending; he hasn't even dared to say that yet.
Seeing Uchiha Kei's dismissive attitude, Mifune also became somewhat angry.
Who is he!
The General of the Iron Country!
The spiritual leader of many samurai!
A legendary master of Iaijutsu!
How dare a young boy look down on him!
"Don't say I'm taking advantage of your youth; I'll give you three moves!"
Sanhuan confidently placed his hand on the knife, standing ramrod straight.
Itachi, standing next to Uchiha Kei, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
What did he hear?
Let Jing make three moves?
You're really bold! Call Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and see if he dares to brag like that.
Despite his inner grumbling, Itachi didn't say anything to stop him.
He knew Uchiha Kei; unless someone had seriously offended him, he generally wouldn't kill anyone.
It's quite possible that he was beaten black and blue.
"Really? That's great!"
Uchiha Kei feigned a look of surprise, which made Itachi's teeth ache again.
Jing's shamelessness...
It seems to have gotten much thicker.
Mifune smiled slightly at his surprised expression.
"Young man, it's only three moves. Wait until those three moves are over..."
Before the Mifune could even finish showing off, the wind was already whistling towards them.
"What?!"
Mifune froze, staring at the Ninja Blade that was now almost within reach.
Speed...
That was incredibly fast!
However, Mifune was a seasoned veteran, and his reaction speed was naturally extremely fast. He instantly held the hilt of his sword in front of him, blocking Uchiha Kei's blade.
Uchiha Itachi frowned as he watched Kei's speed.
That doesn't seem right.
Given Uchiha Kei's strength, he could unleash dozens or even hundreds of slashes in an instant; his movements were truly as swift as lightning!
But what about now?
He barely came close to Mifune!
No, no, this isn't Jing's ability!
When Uchiha Itachi saw Jing's slightly strained face, his heart skipped a beat.
He could tell that Jing wasn't acting; this strike had genuinely put him under pressure!
"Ta-da!"
Three attacks from tricky angles were successfully blocked by Mifune, and Uchiha Kei was already panting heavily.
Only then did he realize just how terrifying Jiang Hao's seal truly was!
Chakra is gone.
Ninjutsu cannot be used.
Kekkei Genkai cannot be used.
Even their improved physical abilities were sealed away!
After three strikes, his stamina was almost completely depleted.
Mifune narrowly escaped Uchiha Kei's Mifune slashes, his face showing utter astonishment.
This kid has amazing swordsmanship!
It's simply unbelievable that such a swift sword strike can be performed without using Chakra!
But...
It's time for everything to come to an end.
Mifune tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Kei with the fierce intensity of a hawk.
"Iaijutsu!"
Mifune's figure suddenly became elusive, as if he had become an illusion, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
A sense of extreme danger instantly surged into Uchiha Kei's heart.
He couldn't block that blow!
Itachi's eyes were also fixed on the two people in the arena, his Mangekyo spinning strangely.
If Kei is in danger, he will use Genjutsu on Mifune without hesitation!
Just as Mifune's blade was about to touch Uchiha Kei, the surroundings suddenly changed.
In Uchiha Kei's view, the surroundings seemed to have frozen in time.
The illusory Mifune became solid again.
The worry was barely concealed on Itachi's face.
His heart, however, was pounding violently, as if something was about to leap out.
Uchiha Kei fell into a strange state.
In this state, all he could see was the dark Ninja Blade in his hand.
Slowly raising his hand, he held the Ninja Blade high, Uchiha Kei's eyes became empty.
"Knife."
Uchiha Kei's cold voice rang out slowly.
"One!"
Time seemed to stand still, but it was suddenly released at that moment.
Mifune's pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw...
A knife slashed fiercely at him...
Soul!
