Enma!

"I've already spent so much money, why did she suddenly disappear? Is it because I'm broke?!"

"Komurasaki, hehe, my Komurasaki..."

Oh, so the big star of the sex industry says so.

How do we find her?

The face beneath the Kozuki Sukiyaki mask was slightly flushed.

He was nothing like his foolish son, who had never been to a place like this before.

Even though he was there to find his relatives, he still felt somewhat awkward.

Naito smiled, grabbed Kozuki Sukiyaki's shoulder, and in the next instant, the two soared into the sky. Their speed was so great that even with people coming and going around them, no one noticed them at all. They only felt a blur before their eyes, and then the two disappeared.

The two landed directly on You Guo's roof.

Conventionally, the higher the rank of a geisha, the higher the level of their residence, right?

At this moment, in a room on the top floor of the Youguo Hotel.

"Komurasaki, are you sure you want to accept Orochi's invitation?"

A man sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, his hands on his knees, his fingers gripping the hem of his kimono so tightly they almost tore the soft fabric apart.

The man had light blue hair, which was tied into a huge bun on top of his head and hung forward like a fluffy tail.

Anyone who has lived in the Flower Capital for even a short time knows this man: Kyoshiro the Napping, the head of the Kyoshiro Family, a well-known ronin leader in the Flower Capital, who has now even accepted Shogun Orochi's invitation to become the general's bodyguard.

But at this moment, the ronin leader, who always presented himself as a dissolute figure, opened his narrow eyes wide and looked eagerly at the woman in front of him.

The woman knelt on a cushion, lightly strumming a shamisen.

She wore a gorgeous kimono, and her beautiful emerald-green hair was styled into an intricate bun, adorned with tortoiseshell and gold and silver hairpins.

She was a young, but exceptionally beautiful woman.

The woman lowered her eyes, strumming her shamisen as she spoke slowly, "This is a good opportunity to get close to Orochi, and besides, as a geisha, I can't disobey the shogun's orders, can I?"

"But, Komurasaki, no, Hiyori!"

Kyoshiro, formerly a retainer of Kozuki Oden, said Denjiro gritted teeth in a low voice, "That despicable and shameless Orochi is not the kind of guest you usually entertain. He will never be satisfied with just listening to you play the koto and sing!"

"I will do my best to deal with him,"

The woman winked playfully. "Besides, isn't Mr. Denjiro here? And—"

She paused, her eyes somewhat downcast, "You are already enduring humiliation and suffering, and the entire Wano Country is tormented. As the daughter of Kozuki Oden, a daughter of a samurai family, how can I not even bear this little bit of shame?"

"..."

Looking at the woman's calm face, Denjiro opened his mouth, but then didn't know what to say.

"Wow, what an impressive level of awareness."

The paper door to the room was suddenly pulled open, and a voice filled with interest drifted out.

"Who?"

Denjiro's expression suddenly changed.

Did you hear me?

Oh no!

We have to get rid of this guy!

Luckily, he came secretly; otherwise, the trouble would have been even greater after the murder!

His hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw it in the next instant.

But.

Naito glanced at the two panicked figures in the room and simply smiled. "How would you rate your granddaughter's determination, Kozuki Sukiyaki?"

Denjiro was about to draw his sword and slash someone, froze. He looked up in astonishment at Naito, and then at the guy behind Naito who was taking off his mask.

The tengu mask was removed from his face, Kozuki Sukiyaki finally revealed his true appearance. "I heard everything, it was Denjiro and Hiyori, right?"

When Denjiro saw his face clearly, his pupils dilated in shock.

"Hiyori has never seen me before, but Denjiro, you saw me when you came to the Flower Capital with Oden, didn't you?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki glanced at her bewildered granddaughter, then at Denjiro appearance had changed drastically since their first meeting.

"Sukiyaki... Sir..."

Denjiro's voice was weak and his mouth was trembling, "You, you're still alive?"

The true shogun of Wano Country is still alive!?

"Yes--"

Komurasaki, also known as Kozuki Hiyori, asked in a similarly confused voice, "Grandfather?"

"Yes, it's him."

Naito placed a hand on Kozuki Sukiyaki's shoulder. "Hiyori, you don't want anything to happen to your grandfather, do you?"

"Huh?"

Chapter Forty-Nine: Enma!

Naito sat cross-legged on the soft cushion.

Two knives rested on his knees, one of which was the Nidai Kitetsu, which he had obtained from Kozuki Sukiyaki.

The other sword has a white hilt and scabbard, with a three-lobed guard.

This sword is called Ame no Habakiri, one of Kozuki Oden's two swords, Great Grade Sword personally forged by Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Having already obtained the Ame no Habakiri, the other sword certainly wouldn't be left behind.

Naito was still holding a knife in his hand.

Aside from the purple color of the hilt and scabbard, the overall design is similar to Ame no Habakiri, with the tsuba also being three-lobed.

This sword is called Enma, Famous Sword said to be able to destroy even hell, and it is also ranked among the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords.

Great, one of my goals for coming to Wano Country has been successfully achieved.

Naito played with the knife, then looked up with interest at Denjiro, who was protecting Kozuki Hiyori and Kozuki Sukiyaki behind him.

"No need to be wary, you are not my enemies."

Who exactly are you?!

Denjiro, of course, would not put down his sword just because Naito said that.

By threatening Sukiyaki- sama's life, they forced Hiyori- sama to hand over the two beloved swords left behind by Oden- sama.

This man is clearly not an ally.

"Seriously, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Naito's lips twitched. "What I mean is, you're not worthy to be my enemies."

"Ah!"

Kozuki Hiyori, suddenly cried out in surprise.

Denjiro instinctively turned around and saw that Kozuki Sukiyaki had already placed a knife against Kozuki Hiyori's neck.

"Sukiyaki Master--"

Denjiro felt a chill run down his spine.

What exactly happened?

Is this Sukiyaki Master a fake?

"Grandfather?"

Kozuki Hiyori was equally shocked.

Then they heard it.

Kozuki Sukiyaki raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you? You're not qualified to be my enemies."

"...!"

Denjiro's hand holding the sword felt weak, his throat was dry, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

What, what exactly is this?

Sorcery?

Is this guy even human?

"What exactly did you do to Grandfather?!"

Kozuki Hiyori's eyebrows furrowed as she stared intently at Kozuki Sukiyaki's aged face, questioning him almost through gritted teeth.

"Hmph,"

Naito, possessing the body of Kozuki Sukiyaki, chuckled softly, casually retracting the knife from Kozuki Hiyori's neck and placing it against his own. "Hiyori, you don't want your grandfather to die either, do you?"

Kozuki Hiyori's body was going weak; the courage to question Naito had vanished.

What exactly do you want to do?

"If you want your grandfather to live, then don't resist."

Naito snapped his fingers lightly.

Kozuki Hiyori collapsed to the ground.

"Stop!!"

Denjiro finally roared, pointing his blade at Naito, "What have you done! Wake up Hiyori- sama!"

Naito looked at him.

This man is quite strong among the Nine Red Scabbards, only inferior to Ashura Doji, Inuarashi, and Cat Viper. He's definitely at the level of the Tobi Roppo, and quite strong within that rank.

So.

A wicked smile bloomed on Naito's lips again. "You wouldn't want Kozuki Hiyori and her granddaughter to die in front of you, would you?"

"..."

Denjiro remained silent.

And so, this guy also collapsed limply.

Naito couldn't help but laugh.

That's why I said Kaido and Orochi could win.

That's too easy, isn't it? They're just taking advantage of idiots.

Soon, Kozuki Hiyori and Denjiro slowly woke up, and Kozuki Sukiyaki, who had been possessed by Naito, regained control of her body.
