Chapter 17: Reality is stranger than fiction

 The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The night wind blows up the fallen leaves. Some insects with tenacious vitality are still singing the final song of their lives.

  In the dense forest, Ringo Aeryuri ran hurriedly, ignoring his own injuries. For a ninja, information is always more important than his own life.

  A ruthless man with an unknown identity but incredible strength suddenly came to the Land of Craftsmen. This news must be notified to other people in the Hidden Mist Village.

  Otherwise, with the style of my colleagues, if they met the swordsman, wouldn't they be dead?

  If an ordinary person was injured so seriously, with the dagger fragments in his abdomen, it would be impossible for him to exercise so vigorously.

  In the end, Ringo Yuuri still made it to a town alive, stumbling and attracting the attention of passers-by. After seeing her attire, they all acted as if nothing had happened.

  Ninjas kill people when they are angry.

  On the surface, the people from the Hidden Mist Village came to purchase ninja tools and place orders, so they couldn't be too unique, so they booked a hotel and stayed in the town.

  It is also convenient to observe whether there are any big fish. This is how Maki and his team were targeted.

  The lights were still on when the injured Ringo Ayuri rushed into the hotel. Then, all his anger was gone, and he fell to the ground.

  The girl at the front desk had been replaced by someone from the Hidden Mist Village, who picked up a kunai and rushed out to check the situation.

  After seeing clearly that the person lying on the ground was Ringo Ayuri, he checked and confirmed her identity, then carried her into the innermost room of the hotel.

  About an hour later, Ringo Yuyuri finally woke up. When she touched her abdomen, she found that the bleeding had stopped, but the dagger fragments had not been removed.

  There is no ninja in this team who is proficient in medical ninjutsu, so being able to cast a healing spell is already a top-level treatment.

  In the room, more than a dozen ninjas were sitting together, with two people in the middle being the most eye-catching.

  One is Biwa Juuzou, who carries a beheading sword on his shoulder. His outfit is in the same style as the demon Zabuza, and it is not very distinctive, but the sword is too eye-catching.

  The second one is the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon with long orange hair, teeth as sharp as a piranha, and a body as tall as a small mountain. He and the big sword Samehada wrapped in bandages behind him are equally eye-catching.

  Strictly speaking, there is actually another person who looks more distinctive. In the corner of the room, a shark-faced person stands there quietly. He is the young Hoshigaki Kisame.

  That year, eighteen, I stood in the conference room like a minion.

  Seeing the two Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Ringo Yuyuri hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee in front of them, and said respectfully: "Chunnin Ringo Yuyuri, greetings to the two captains."

  For a moment, the wound was touched again and sweat broke out.

  "Yeah." Biwa Juzo nodded.

  The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost had a stern expression, and with one hand on Samehada's hilt, he asked, "Tell me, why are you the only one back?

  Kaguya-sama, where are the other members of your team?"

  The Samehada pupa moved twice, eager to try, and its powerful aura oppressed Ringo Yuuri's nerves. As long as she couldn't say anything, the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost would definitely beat her with a knife.

  "Captain Kaguya and the others have been killed. I am the only survivor." Ringo Yuuri didn't dare to say anything nonsense and spoke out the most important information in one breath.

  A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Everyone in the room was shocked by the news and started talking about it.

  Who is Kaguya Daiga?

  An elite jonin with the Corpse Vein, whose strength was no less than that of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and who led ten chuunins to clean up the mess, just disappeared without a clear reason?

  This didn't make sense.

  Xiguashan Puffer Ghost was the most suspicious. He pulled out Samehada and placed it on Ringo Yuyuri's head, and shouted, "You're lying!

  An elite jonin plus ten chunins, did he encounter a large force from the other four ninja villages, or did he encounter the shadow of a village?

  There is absolutely no such a powerful existence in the Land of Artisans. Even if there is, why is it you who survived in the end, and not the strongest Kaguya Taiga?  

  There has to be some rationality in telling a lie! "

  Ringo Ayuri wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn't know what expression to make on her pretty face. I also know that storytelling must be reasonable.

  The problem is, reality is so absurd, what can I do? I feel helpless!

  All the ninjas in the room looked at Ringo Ayuri with suspicion. To be honest, this lie was indeed unreasonable.

  For a moment, everyone thought of a possibility. Could it be that Ringo Yuuri had turned against them at the last minute and betrayed them?

  The air was filled with murderous intent, and Samehada seemed to be about to break out of its cocoon and then hammer Ringo Aeryuri to death on the spot.

  Just when Ringo Yuyuri thought that his life was over, the other person in charge, Biwa Juzang, waved his hand and stopped the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon.

  He said in a cold voice: "Tell me everything you have experienced, and don't hide anything."

  Phew, my life is saved. Our own people are more dangerous than the enemy.

  Ringo Yuuri escaped the disaster temporarily, but she knew that if her words or actions became unreasonable, she would surely die.

  His brain was working frantically, recalling the scene at that time, fearing that he had missed something, he said carefully: "It was around dusk, I followed Captain Kaguya and other colleagues to hunt down the fish that had escaped the net.

  We did find one, and just when we were about to catch up with him and kill him, suddenly this man appeared and blocked our way..."

  "Wait a moment!"

  The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost shouted, interrupting Ringo Yuyuri and asking, "Only one person?"

  "Yes, only one."

  Ringo Yuyuri nodded and said with a wry smile, "He was a young man with a long sword on his waist, a cross scar on his face, wearing a kimono, and long red hair.

  He called himself Luo...Luo...Luomura Kenshin, and said that he hated to see people violate the samurai spirit and bully the minority with the majority, and then he attacked us..."

  Everyone made a judgment in their hearts that ninjas are more accustomed to using short swords. This Kenshin Luocun should be a samurai from the Land of Iron. Only they would wear kimonos and carry long swords. They were a group of people who were eliminated by the times.

  Using the samurai spirit as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of ninjas is a bit too much.

  "We initially thought he was a fool, a busybody who looked down on formalities, so we attacked him.   "

  Ringo Yuyuri raised her head, with a hint of fanaticism and longing in her eyes, and said in awe: "Then he proved with his strength that he really has the ability to intervene in this matter.

  The water-style ninjutsu, shurikens and kunai thrown by the ten Chunins formed a net that stretched heaven and earth, but he broke it all in two seconds with his superb swordsmanship.

  During this time, we did not feel any chakra fluctuations. I am willing to guarantee with my life that this is pure swordsmanship!"
