"The Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages have all come!"
The Battle of Swords arrived as scheduled. Wang Hao, as one of the nominees for the Battle of Swords, had arrived early and looked towards the main stage with a glint in his eyes.
There are six chairs on the main stage. The one sitting in the very center is Amane Admiral, the leader of the Land of Iron, and the Third Hokage is to his right.
This can also be considered a ranking of strength. As the host country, the Admiral of Land of Iron naturally has its leader and general sitting in the middle position. Then, the Village Hidden in the Leaf of the Land of Fire, as the strongest ninja village, surpasses the other four major ninja villages and is qualified to sit in the middle position.
Next are the four ninja villages: Village Hidden in the Sand, Village Hidden in the Clouds, Village Hidden in the Stone Village Hidden in the Mist.
Wang Hao had originally thought that it would be good enough if the second-in-command of the five great ninja villages could come to watch the battle, but unexpectedly, the Kage of the first-in-command came, which was very strange.
"As the only independent country in the Land of Iron Shinobi World, the five great ninja villages used to hold the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron Admiral resolve conflicts that they could not resolve. As the sole leader of the Land of Iron, the five great ninja villages are naturally very concerned about the next Admiral."
However, the Kage of the five great ninja villages have gathered here not only to discuss the aftermath of the Second Great Ninja War, but also to meet you, the most outstanding samurai in the Land of Iron's thousand-year history.
Seeing Wang Hao's confusion, Kurosawa Shichirō explained, a smile of immense pride and satisfaction on his face.
He couldn't be more satisfied with this disciple. He was incredibly talented and hardworking, and now even the only limitation he had in terms of age had improved his strength.
Three days ago, this monstrous disciple broke through to the realm of High-Dan Swordmaster, becoming an unparalleled powerhouse on par with Admiral Amane.
In this era where the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, and Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Shinobi World, have both perished, this being is the only god, far surpassing Hanzo of the Salamander, the so-called demigod of the Land of Rain.
More importantly, this prodigy disciple is young enough and has a lot of room for improvement. It's not impossible that he could eventually become an Invincible figure like the First Hokage.
Even the five great ninja villages dared not underestimate such a powerful figure.
This is an honor!
So, my information was leaked?
A cold glint flashed in Wang Hao's starry eyes; he realized his information had been leaked.
In the past six months, although he has made a high-profile move to eliminate all the Ancient Sword Dao- wielding schools in the Land of Iron, it has been done in secret, and all the Ancient Sword Dao- wielding schools have joined forces to block the news.
His exchanges and discussions with the sword masters of various schools were even more secretive, known only to the sword masters themselves. Unexpectedly, in the end, the five great ninja villages still found out about it.
" The New Sword Dao is backed by the five great ninja villages, so some secrets are naturally hard to hide from them!"
Kurosawa Shichirō's expression was also very unpleasant. With the existence of those samurai who cultivate Chakra in the New Sword Dao, their Land of Iron was like a sieve, making it very difficult to keep secrets.
This is a disgrace to a country, and as one of the country's older generation of leaders, he was naturally very unhappy.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Sword Dao has indeed declined and will disappear into history in another ten or twenty years. In this respect, it cannot compare with the New Sword Dao.
"Teacher, please don't worry. Once I become the new Admiral of the Land of Iron, I will surely revive the Ancient Sword Dao. There will be some pleasant surprises then."
Wang Hao's words revealed absolute confidence, because he had prepared a huge surprise that was sure to cause a sensation throughout the Land of Iron and even the entire Shinobi World.
The presence of the Kage from the five great ninja villages to watch the battle presents a perfect opportunity.
The Battle of Swords of the Land of Iron have a long history and have become a tradition. Starting with the weakest, high-ranking Swordsman and even those who have just entered the Initial-Dan Swordmaster all jump onto the arena to fight, showing their Sword Dao to the fullest.
These people are not aiming for the position of Admiral; they are simply seeking fame for themselves, their Sword Dao school, or their family in the Battle of Swords.
For example, Wang Hao's junior brother, Kurosawa Juhachiro, had the same idea back then.
But in the end, things are different; it's a true battle to the death, all for the chance to fight Admiral Amane and thus gain the position of Admiral.
The First Tier was quickly completed. Before the true powerhouses could even step onto the stage, Wang Hao appeared in a flash, wielding the Kurosawa Divine Sword, and coldly declared, "No need to waste time, come at me all at once!"
Following the tradition of the Battle of Swords, the ten strongest nominated warriors will fight each other, each taking three turns. The final selection will be based on the number of wins and performance in the battle, until the strongest warrior who will fight Admiral Amane is chosen.
This battle would take at least half a day. Although Wang Hao had the patience to wait, his next plan required a stunning victory.
Therefore, he prepared to challenge all the participants, and to challenge them all at once.
"Arrogant!"
A New Sword Dao swordsman was furious and jumped onto the ring, ready to teach Wang Hao a lesson. Unfortunately, as soon as he jumped onto the ring, Wang Hao glanced at him.
That sharp gaze was like a divine weapon, carrying an extremely refined sword Sword Force. The warrior who was about to break through to the Initial-Dan Swordmaster was sent flying backward with a miserable scream.
"Ah!"
The warrior, who was sent flying off the stage, covered his eyes and screamed in agony.
" Sword of the Eye! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Upon seeing this scene, Admiral Amane, who had been half-closing his eyes on the main stage, suddenly opened his eyes wide and became excited.
"Is that the Sword of the Eye of Senior Amane 'Heart Moon Style? I never imagined that there would be a junior in the Land of Iron who could comprehend such a profound Sword Dao technique!"
Upon hearing Amane, the Third Hokage, who was sitting next to Admiral, frowned, then smiled and asked.
Back then, Amane Admiral with the First Hokage. Although he was ultimately defeated, he was still one of the few strong individuals in the entire Shinobi World who could be recognized by both the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.
Leaf has been gathering information about Admiral Amane, and the Heart Moon Style Sword Dao he represents is naturally a key focus of their attention.
The Sword of the Eye is an extremely profound Sword Dao technique in the Heart Moon Style, which even caused the First Hokage to suffer a setback back then.
Back then, Admiral Amane was already over fifty years old when he mastered the Sword of the Eye, while the junior named Hao below looks to be only in his twenties.
To have mastered the Sword of the Eye at such a young age speaks volumes about his extraordinary talent.
He naturally disliked these prodigies from other countries. If this weren't the Land of Iron, he would have immediately taken action to nip them in the bud and eliminate a potential threat to Leaf.
The Kage of the other four major ninja villages also had gleaming eyes, clearly harboring similar plans.
Although they regard the Land of Iron as the only neutral country and a buffer zone for their five great ninja villages, they do not want too powerful beings to emerge in this buffer zone.
The mere presence Admiral a Amane Admiral was already putting them under immense pressure; now, with an even more monstrous Amane appearing, how could they possibly feel at ease?
"I had a conversation with that kid some time ago, and I never expected that he would not only comprehend the Sword of the Eye from my few words, but also master it in just a few months. He is a peerless genius, even stronger than me. Given time, he will surely become an Invincible figure like the First Hokage of your village."
Admiral Amane was lavish in his praise, showing great satisfaction with Wang Hao, this rising star of the Land of Iron.
He knew something about the thoughts of the five Third Hokage, but he didn't care. As long as the five great ninja villages didn't openly betray each other, they would never openly plot against Wang Hao.
As for underhanded tactics, they, as samurai, were not afraid.
This is, after all, the Land of Iron!
Even those New Sword Dao schools that have the secret support of the five great ninja villages will make the right choice at crucial moments. Once the five great ninja villages break off relations, these people will inevitably stand on the side of their Land of Iron.
"Then I am quite looking forward to it!"
The eyes of the five Third Hokage flashed coldly, their evaluation of Wang Hao rising to a new level, while their killing intent intensified.
"Since Lord Hao has invited us, then we will not stand on ceremony!"
The six familiar Initial-Dan Swordmaster exchanged glances, chuckled, and jumped onto the arena together, surrounding Wang Hao in the middle.
All six of them are new generation powerhouses of the Ancient Sword Dao school, and all of them broke through to the Initial-Dan Swordmaster after receiving guidance from Wang Hao.
They had indeed witnessed some of Wang Hao's terrifying strength. If it were a one-on-one fight, they certainly wouldn't have the mentality to suffer such a beating, but if they joined forces, they wouldn't be without a chance of winning.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, and with the other party extending an invitation, they naturally felt no shame in joining forces against the foe; in fact, they considered it an honor.
After all, being able to fight against such a prodigy, hailed as the most talented warrior in a thousand years, is something he can boast about in the future!
"If you can draw my Kurosawa Divine Sword, I'll admit defeat!"
Upon seeing an old acquaintance, Wang Hao smiled and decided not to be ruthless.
After all, these people will be his subordinates in the future, and if he cripples them now, he will be the one who suffers the loss in the future.
"You said it yourself, Dan-kun, you can't go back on your word!"
The most dashing samurai's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he appeared even more excited.
The other five warriors were equally excited and did not consider it an insult, because the other party had the strength to back it up.
If they can truly force this monstrous genius to unsheathe his divine sword, their elders will surely praise them when they return home.
" Iaido Slash!"
The six warriors exchanged glances and quickly devised a battle plan. Five of them then used Iaido Slash together, unleashing five sword energies that sealed off Wang Hao's body.
The last person mysteriously vanished into thin air, transforming into an almost imperceptible shadow that rapidly approached Wang Hao.
Facing the combined attack of the six, Wang Hao did not move an inch. Holding the Kurosawa Divine Sword, he skillfully used the scabbard to shatter the five Iaido Slash sword energies one by one. Finally, the scabbard pointed backward, blocking a sword blade that pierced out from the shadows. Immediately afterward, a figure was blasted out of the shadows.
It was that dashing samurai from before!
" The Iaido Slash is the essence of our Kurosawa Sword Dao. I also know all the Sword Dao of your schools. You can't defeat me with just this one move."
Wang Hao maintained his smile. During those four months, he had visited all the Ancient Sword Dao styles in the Land of Iron and even exchanged many of his own deduced Sword Dao techniques for the core inheritance of these Sword Dao.
To be honest, his understanding of those Sword Dao styles is far more profound than that of these six people.
As the strongest Iaido Slash in Kurosawa Sword Dao, Iaijutsu was the focus of his research. He Complete Integration the essence of Iaido Slash from all the Ancient Sword Dao styles and created the strongest Iaido Slash strike.
The reason he didn't want to draw the Kurosawa Divine Sword was to accumulate this Iaido Slash in preparation for facing Admiral Amane.
