Both A-Machi and A-Tsuku were grabbed by Yoshihisa's left shoulders and pinned to the ground.
Their left shoulders were grabbed, their left arms were unable to move, the weapons in their hands had been knocked away, and their feet were unable to kick Yoshihisa due to the angles, so the only means of attack the two women had now was... their right fist.
The only means of attack left were so weak and powerless - but the two women still swung their right fists firmly and without hesitation, hitting Yoshihisa.
If we talk about which fist is the most powerful between the two, it would naturally be Azhu's.
Because the fist that Azuki swung at this moment... was struck out using the forbidden technique of Iga-ryu: using strength!
Looking at Azhu's punch that was thrown with all his strength, Yoshihisa's eyebrows raised slightly, but he seemed to have already expected Azhu to use this move and did not show too much surprise.
The determination of A-machi and A-tsuku to attack Yoshihisa even though they only had one right fist left was worthy of praise - but the fists they swung were destined to have no effect.
The close combat skills of the two girls... can only be used against ordinary people, there is no possibility that they can be effective against Yoshihisa.
Jijiu, whose vision had recovered a little, turned his head to avoid the fists of the two women, and then threw his head to the left and right - his hard forehead hit the fists of the two women before they could retract them.
A-Ming and A-Tsuku felt as if their fists were hit by a piece of iron. A strong sense of numbness and soreness spread throughout their right palms and right forearms. They couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain, and the two girls' right fists fell limply to the ground.
The half of his face that was smashed by Ating's bullet and his left shoulder that was hit by a bullet have now been restored to their original state under the repair of the "immortal power".
As for the wakizashi that Azuku had just chopped at and was still embedded in his left arm, Yoshihisa had no time to pull it out, so he just let the sword remain in his body for the time being.
Looking at the two women who had been caught in his hands and pressed to the ground, with no chance or strength to resist, the deep voice like the devil's whisper once again flowed from Yoshihisa's lips.
"Since you are wearing the Shiranui ninja outfit... then you must be a remnant of Shiranui."
Yoshihisa first glanced at Atachi with a look that showed neither sadness nor joy.
"... Well done. It has been at least twenty years since I suffered such a big loss in a confrontation with a fellow ninja."
"And being made so miserable by a female kunoichi... this is the first time in my life."
"What's your name? I want to know your name."
Yoshihisa asked Atachi for his name.
And Ating’s response was——
Whoosh! His fist swung, creating a tiny sound of breaking wind.
Ating gritted his teeth, trying to endure the numbness in his right hand which had not yet recovered from Yoshihisa's headbutt, and threw another right hook at Yoshihisa's head.
"You don't want to tell me your name..." Yoshihisa easily dodged Atachi's punch again, "...then forget it."
Bang!
After saying that, Yoshihisa, whose agility and reaction speed were far superior to Atachi's, headbutted Atachi's fist again before he could retract it.
"Ah...!" Ating couldn't help but let out another cry of pain. The back of her right hand, which had been hit on the head again, became slightly swollen and fell to the ground. Her right arm, wrapped in an even stronger sense of numbness, could no longer be lifted.
After knocking down Atachi's newly swung fist with his head, Yoshihisa slowly turned his head.
His cold gaze, devoid of any emotion, slowly turned to...Azhu.
“…I was not mistaken.”
Yoshihisa stared at Azuki's face, and a strange smile slowly appeared on his face.
"You are Feng Shang's granddaughter, right?"
Feng Shang——Azhu's grandfather. Suddenly hearing her grandfather's name from Yoshihisa's mouth, Azhu's eyes, which were staring at Yoshihisa, suddenly froze.
"When I saw you at Longshui Temple last night, I felt that you looked familiar."
"At the time I thought: This is impossible, how could Feng Shang's granddaughter be here."
"Now that I've gotten closer and looked at your face carefully... I'm sure I didn't recognize the wrong person."
The pain in his eyeballs had begun to subside gradually, and Yoshihisa, whose vision had recovered significantly, squinted his eyes and met Azhu's gaze, which was fixed on him.
"If I remember correctly...your name is Azhu, right?"
"It's been a long time since we last met. I never thought... that I would be able to run into an 'old friend' at this time and in this place."
The strange smile on Yoshikyu's face grew bigger and bigger.
For no reason, he felt a little curious about why this "old friend" appeared here.
"Why...are you here?"
"Did you just bump into me here by chance?"
"Or..."
Jiku paused.
"Did you come to me specifically to avenge the murder of your family?"
Perhaps it was stimulated by the pain, or... it was a reaction to what Yoshihisa had just said, Azuki's face no longer showed the timidity and fear that he had shown when fighting with Yoshihisa.
"……No."
The girl stared into Yoshihisa's eyes without flinching.
“Neither!”
Under the dark clouds, the girl's eyes sparkled with determination, like bright stars in the night sky.
"I'm here... to take my family back and get revenge on you, you bastard!"
The girl clenched her right fist again and struck out! Towards Yoshihisa! Towards the enemy in front of her!
This punch of hers was still delivered using the forbidden technique of the Iga-ryu: using the power of energy.
Unfortunately... a similar scene happened again - Yoshihisa dodged Azuki's fist by simply turning his head, and then used his headbutt to knock Azuki's fist down.
Looking at Azuki who had followed in A-Machi's footsteps and whose right hand was hit by his headbutt and had a big bump, Yoshihisa said coldly:
"Your power... is still far from perfect."
His right hand was injured - Azuki's last means of attack was also lost.
But even so, Azuki still stared at Jijiu.
He stared at Yoshihisa with a look that seemed like it could shoot out two sharp arrows at any time.
Facing the gaze from Azhu, the strange smile on Yoshihisa's face slowly disappeared.
"...The way you and your sister looked at me when you were fighting me... were really similar."
“Just looking at it… makes me feel irritated!”
"Why are you looking at me like that--!"
Snap! Snap! The five fingers of Yoshiku's hands, which were tightly grasping the shoulders of Atachi and Azuki, suddenly crossed!
He no longer held the two girls' shoulders.
Instead, he grabbed the two girls' necks!
The two girls whose necks were grabbed immediately found it difficult to breathe, and subconsciously reached out to grab Yoshijiu's hands that were around their necks.
"Okay, the game is over."
Jijiu returned to his emotionless and cold look.
"I'm no longer interested in either of you."
"So - hurry up... die!"
After saying that, Yoshihisa tightened his grip on the two girls' necks!
The fair faces of the two girls...in the blink of an eye, turned into a strange color of red and purple.
His two feet kept staring at the ground.
Both hands were scratching at Yoshihisa's hands that were pinching their necks as if they were grasping at a life-saving straw.
How great is Jiku's power?
But after just a breath, Azhu, who could no longer breathe, began to feel his consciousness begin to blur...
Azhu had often heard before that when people are about to die, they will recall their past lives.
But now, Azhu was surprised to find that this rumor... didn't seem to be entirely correct.
At this moment, her mind was not recalling her past experiences.
She only thought of her family.
Thinking back to my parents who I had not seen for 5 years and still haven’t found…
I recalled... a certain beautiful figure...
The hands that were scratching Yoshihisa's palms...had lost their strength and slowly loosened and dropped.
When his hands fell to the ground and his consciousness was about to fade away——
"Ah...Jiu..."
Azhu muttered...his sister's name in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
…
Swish!
…
The sound of the sharp blade piercing through flesh suddenly reached the ears of Atsuchi and Azuki who were almost suffocating!
Startled by the sound, Ating took the lead in resisting the pain of suffocation and slowly opened his eyes.
sword.
After opening her eyes, the first thing that caught Atachi's eye was... two swords.
Two swords...pierced Yoshihisa's chest from behind!
Azuki opened his eyes almost at the same time as Atachi and saw the two sharp blades that suddenly appeared and pierced through Yoshihisa's body.
Uncontrollable surprise appeared on the cheeks of the two girls.
And the one who couldn't hide the surprise on his face... was Yoshiku.
The sudden sharp pain in his chest caused Yoshihisa 's expression to change drastically.
And at the same moment when these two swords pierced Yoshihisa’s chest—
“Haaaaaaaaaaa——!”
Roars from a man and a woman burst out from behind Yoshihisa.
Then, it felt like being hit and pushed away by a wild bull - Jijiu felt something hit his back hard.
Yoshihisa, who was completely caught off guard by this sudden attack, was knocked off the bodies of A-Machi and A-Tsuku and fell to the ground in front of him, landing flat on his face.
As he fell to the ground, Yoshihisa finally had a chance to look behind him, towards the place where he was attacked.
As soon as his eyes swept behind him, Jijiu's expression, which was already filled with astonishment, suddenly changed again.
Behind Yoshihisa, the person who pierced his chest with a sharp blade and knocked him to the ground was none other than Hatsukiri, who should still be unconscious, and Shibata, who was kicked away by Yoshihisa just now!
Hatsukuni and Shibata, each holding a sword, pounced on Yoshihisa, pierced his chest with their swords from behind, and then used the momentum of the pounce to knock Yoshihisa to the ground.
After Yoshihisa was thrown to the ground, the two knives that pierced Yoshihisa's chest were like two sharp nails, nailing Yoshihisa firmly to the ground.
The offensive of Hatsumitsu and Shibata has not stopped yet.
It would be better to say that now is just the beginning of their attack!
Clatter...Hatsumitsu took out all the remaining shurikens on his body, then held a shuriken in each hand and stabbed at Yoshikyu's two hind arms!
The sharp sword tip pierced through Yoshihisa's back arm and sank into the soil beneath him!
After nailing Yoshikyu's two back arms to the ground beneath him, Hatsumitsu took up two shurikens without any pause and stabbed Yoshikyu's other parts! He also connected Yoshikyu's other parts to the ground!
As for Shibata, he pressed his body tightly against Yoshihisa's back, and then, together with Hatsumitsu, "nailed" shurikens into various parts of Yoshihisa's body.
--hateful!
Yoshihisa suddenly realized what Hatsumitsu and the others wanted. He gritted his teeth, gathered his strength, and lifted his body upwards, trying to push Hatsumitsu and Shibata who were pressing on him away, and to pull his body away from the ground where he was nailed together!
The process of separation is of course extremely painful.
The two swords on his chest and the shurikens that Chu Guang and the others had currently stabbed into him tightly connected his body to the ground beneath him.
It can be said that every time Yoshihisa's body moved, the piercing pain was enough to drive a person with weak willpower crazy.
Yoshihisa is worthy of being the current leader of Iga-no-Sato.
It was obviously painful every time he moved, but he didn't even groan.
Under Yoshihisa's resistance, Hatsumitsu and Shibata suddenly became like crew members sitting on the shaking deck of a ship, their bodies swaying violently along with the restless "deck".
After Yoshihisa was knocked to the ground, A-Machi and A-Tsuku, who were finally able to breathe, were now covering their necks which had a big red mark from being pinched, and opened their mouths wide, greedily swallowing all the air around them.
The sudden change made the two women extremely confused.
But fortunately - although confused, the two girls were not slow or stupid.
Seeing how Hatsumitsu and Shibata had just thrust their shurikens into Yoshihisa's body, and how they now looked like they could be knocked flying at any moment by Yoshihisa's attempt to stand up, Atachi immediately realized what the two were preparing to do, and realized what he should do now.
A-Machi, who was still struggling to catch his breath, pounced on Yoshihisa, pressing his body firmly on Yoshihisa's left leg, and shouted to A-Tsuku:
“Azuki…! Ahem! Come on! Ahem…! Hold down this guy’s other leg!”
After hearing Atachi's reminder, Azhu, who was slow to react, also woke up quickly - without hesitation, he imitated Atachi's previous action, pounced over, and pressed his whole body on Yoshihisa's other leg.
After A-Machi and A-Tsuku pressed forward, Yoshihisa suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
His two legs were held down by two adult women, A-Machi and A-Tsuku - this was too fatal for Yoshihisa who was trying to get up.
Strength comes from the earth - this is an eternal truth. Even though Yoshihisa is an "immortal" with "immortal power", he cannot violate this truth.
Both legs were held down by the two women, which made it difficult for Ji Jiu to use the method of "kicking the ground" to exert force! He could only exert 50% of his 100% strength at most!
Even for Yoshihisa, it would be impossible to push away the four adults who were pressing on him, two of whom were on his legs, in such a short time!
With the help of A-Machi and A-Tsuku, the pressure on Hatsumi and Shibata was greatly reduced. They stabbed Yoshihisa with every shuriken they carried at a faster speed.
Yoshihisa's expression at this moment... simply "ugly" is not enough to describe it.
Every time Chu Guang and the others "nailed" a shuriken into his body, it became more difficult for him to pull his body off the ground...
If Jijiu wanted to push away the people who were pressing on him...it was not impossible.
But - this will take some time.
He had to use brute force to push away Atachi, Shibata and the others on his back, and at the same time, break free from the "nails" that were piercing his body to the ground... It would take at least 10 seconds...
10 seconds - this time is more than enough for Chu Guang and the others!
Ignoring Yoshihisa's struggle, Hatsumi drove one "nail" after another into Yoshihisa's body with the force of a swift wave. In the blink of an eye, Yoshihisa's body was "studded" with "nails".
His palms, arms, shoulders, chest... in short, all the joints were pierced by one or more shurikens.
——How can I... just let you guys control me like this!
With his facial features twisted into a ferocious shape, Yoshihisa poured all his strength into his arms.
There are now three shurikens stuck in each of Yoshihisa's arms. His idea is simple - free his hands first.
As long as your hands are free, you can do a lot more.
Yoshihisa endured the pain of the sharp blade cutting his flesh and raised his arms to free them from the shuriken that nailed his arms to the ground.
But when his arms were about to be free again——
Buzz...
Jijiu suddenly felt... a cold metallic breath coming from his forehead.
He raised his bloodshot eyes and looked up—Hatsumi, who was half-kneeling beside him, pointed a shuriken at his forehead with an expressionless face…
“Don’t move.” Chu Guang said in a serious tone, “If you move even a little bit, I will stab your head into the ground.”
"Ha... finally... I've knocked you bastard down..." At this time, Asai's slightly weak voice suddenly came from not far away.
Atachi, who was still pressing hard on Yoshihisa's legs, quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound - Asai and Shimada, who had just been knocked down by Yoshihisa's blow, were now supporting each other and walking towards Atachi and the others with a slightly staggering step.
"Mr. Asai, Mr. Shimada." Seeing the two men coming, Shibata quickly showed them a happy smile, "Thank you both for your knives!"
"You're welcome..." Asai smiled slightly, "I'm glad I could help in the battle with this bastard..."
The two swords that Hatsumitsu and Shibata used to launch a sneak attack on Yoshihisa, piercing Yoshihisa's chest and pinning Yoshihisa's chest to the ground were the swords of Asai and Shimada that they had just borrowed from these two people.
“…Hatsumi…!” Yoshihisa, whose head was the only part of his body that was not nailed to the ground and could move freely, gnashed his teeth and said, “How did you… get close to me!”
"I actually wanted to ask you this question." Chu Guang said calmly, "Although Shibata and I are both good at 'stealth skills', I am not confident that I can successfully sneak attack a monster like you who has the 'immortal power'."
"I launched a sneak attack on you with a gambling mentality of 'the success rate will definitely not be too high, let's give it a try'."
"I myself did not expect that the sneak attack on you would be so successful. It is really cause for celebration."
After hearing what Hatsumitsu said, Yoshihisa's expression immediately froze.
——What happened…? Why didn’t I notice that Chu Guang and the others were approaching me just now? !
He questioned himself loudly in his heart.
Soon, he found the answer himself.
——The girl’s gunshot!
Yoshihisa suddenly came to realize that the "culprit" of all this was the "zero-distance shooting" that Ating launched at his face when he just pinned Ating to the ground!
Although he dodged the shot from Ating, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at his head, so the deafening sound of the gun still made his ears "boom" until now, and his head was slightly dizzy...
It was this gunshot that weakened his hearing, causing him to fail to notice Chu Guang and the others approaching in time...
"Then how did you wake up?!" Jijiu asked Chuguang loudly again, "Logically speaking, you can't wake up so quickly!"
"Then... I have to thank my excellent companion." Chu Guang's mouth curled up slightly, forming a shallow arc. "Although he gave me a hard time, it was also thanks to him that I was able to defeat you."
"Ms. Hatsumitsu!" Shibata, who was still pressing down on Yoshihisa, looked so moved that he seemed about to cry when he heard the word "excellent" mentioned by Hatsumitsu.
Hatsutsuki calmly told Yoshihisa about the contributions of his outstanding companion.
It turned out that - after being kicked away by Yoshihisa, Shibata, who didn't know what use he could be of, suddenly thought: If the person he relied on and trusted the most, Hatsumitsu, could wake up... maybe it would bring about some new changes in the battle situation.
So, Shibata ran to the unconscious Chuguang and slapped him left and right to wake him up...
When Hatsumitsu was awakened by Shibata, Yoshihisa was just pressing A-machi and A-tsuku to the ground.
Therefore, Hatsumitsu quickly formulated a battle plan of "surprise attack on Yoshihisa, knocking Yoshihisa to the ground, and pinning him to the ground", and then borrowed the swords of Asai and Shimada, who could no longer fight.
What happened next... everyone knows.
After learning that this was how Hatsumitsu woke up, Ating and the others quickly looked at Hatsumitsu's face.
Her fair and delicate face... is indeed a little red and swollen now...
Faintly, it seems that some palm prints can still be seen...
"...Heh...I see...I was...defeated by your cooperation..." Yoshikyu slowly lowered his eyes, staring at the dirt under his nose, his face expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
It would take at least several seconds for Yoshihisa to break free from the control of A-machi and the others, as well as the "nails" on his body - even if he could do it.
Such a long time... is enough for Chuguang to chop Yoshihisa's head several times.
The winner...has been decided.
"Hurry up and chop off this guy's head!" Asai shouted, "Chop it off quickly, and we can have peace of mind sooner!"
As soon as Asai finished shouting , Shimada, who was supporting him, immediately shouted:
"Kill him now!"
"Yes! Miss Hatsumitsu! Kill this beast quickly!" Shibata followed closely behind.
Crash...
The rain is falling gently.
In the heavy rain, everyone shouted and urged Hatsumitsu, the only one who still had enough strength left, to swing his sword and kill Yoshihisa.
And amidst all the shouts... a low, trembling voice sounded slowly.
“Forgive…Forgive me…”
The owner of this begging voice...is none other than Yoshihisa.
At this moment, everyone looked at Yoshijiu who suddenly begged for mercy with a bit of surprise.
Chu Guang's brows also raised slightly at this time.
After everyone's eyes were focused on Yoshihisa, Yoshihisa, who had just lowered his head, suddenly raised his head -
The leader of Iga Village, who had maintained a calm and indifferent expression and forced Atachi and his companions into a desperate situation with his powerful posture, has disappeared.
Now, all that is left is an old man with tears streaming down his face and an ugly appearance.
"Please, spare me!"
the old man shouted.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
"If you can spare my life, I will leave here immediately! I will never come back to offend you again!"
"Please! Please! Please let me live! Please! Please! Please..."
Every time the old man shouted "Please", he shook his head and banged his forehead against the ground, kowtowing to Chu Guang and others.
His strength was so great that in just a moment, one could see traces of blood flowing down the old man's forehead.
Crash...
The rain flowed down the old man's face, mixing with the blood, tears and snot on his forehead to form a pink liquid that covered his entire face.
A-Machi, Asai... everyone except Hatsumitsu couldn't stop the shock on their faces.
They had also seen people crying and begging for mercy in the face of death.
But these people...are mostly weaklings with extremely poor strength and mental ability...
A man like Yoshihisa, who is a local tyrant but begs for mercy without dignity... This is the first time they have met...
"Spare your life?!" Shibata, who was also stunned like Atachi, slowly revealed a ferocious expression, "Spare your life! Then who will spare the lives of those you killed?!"
Shibata, who was pressing on Yoshihisa's back, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the back of Yoshihisa's collar, then shook Yoshihisa's head hard, knocking his forehead heavily to the ground.
"Do you know why I put my head on my waist with Hatsumitsu and vowed to destroy Iga-no-Sato together with Miss Hatsumitsu?"
Shibata's eyes slowly turned red.
"You beast, do you know how many innocent people have been poisoned by you?! Killed by you?!"
"In order to ensure that there is enough fresh blood, we collect orphans everywhere, and even kidnap or rob children who have the potential for ninjutsu!"
"Do you remember Ye Jilang? Humph, I'm sure you don't remember this boy who is completely insignificant in your eyes!"
"He is one of the children you forcibly snatched away because of his potential in ninjutsu!"
"He just wanted to go home secretly... to see his parents who he hadn't seen for years because you had forcibly abducted him... but you brutally killed him in the name of strict discipline..."
Tears as big as beans... began to roll down Shibata's eyes and flow down his cheeks.
"He is a soldier who is insignificant in your eyes and can be killed at will."
"But to me, he is an irreplaceable friend!"
"You are a beast with blood on your hands! What qualifications do you have to beg for mercy here!!"
After saying that, Shibata slammed Yoshihisa's head into the ground again.
“You… are right…!” Jijiu, whose face was bruised and bloody, said in a trembling voice, “I… am a beast!”
"Just treat me like a dog and spare my life!"
"Please! Please!"
Yoshihisa slammed his head against the ground again and again.
"First light! First light!"
Jijiu looked at Chuguang with hope, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Chu Guang! I have always regarded you as my own granddaughter! I raised you like my own granddaughter! Do you still remember? I risked my life to save you when you fell into the water!"
"Please! Please, for the sake of our friendship, spare my life!"
"Please spare my life! Please spare my life!"
Crash...
The rain continued to fall without any let-up.
Everyone remained silent as they watched Yoshijiu crying and begging for mercy.
Amid the heavy rain, the only sound left was Jijiu's kowtow.
One after another...
“Ha, hahahaha…” Shibata laughed and made a blatant mockery of Yoshihisa, “Yoshihisa, you have come to this day…”
"I never thought that the leader of Iga-no-Sato would be a coward who fears death..."
"...Okay, Shibata, stop talking."
Suddenly - Hatsumitsu interrupted Shibata's laughter.
When Shibata showed a puzzled look towards Hatsukuni, Hatsukuni lowered his eyes and looked at Yoshihisa who was still kowtowing with a calm gaze.
"…'People who sacrifice themselves generously are often just another form of cowardice. Even if they are condemned by thousands of people and endure all the humiliation in the world, those who are willing to endure humiliation to complete their missions and aspirations are the real heroes and the real ninjas.'"
Chu Guang’s words… seemed to have some magical power, causing Jijiu to stop kowtowing.
Between heaven and earth, there was only the sound of rain... and the mournful tone of the first light.
"In the past, I actually didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence you once warned me seriously."
"It was not until I decided to destroy Iga-no-Sato that I gradually understood what this meant."
"When the butcher's knife is about to be swung, he will die with his chest held high and his head held high, and die heroically - this is indeed very cool and noble."
"But—so what?"
"What can I gain from sacrificing my life?"
"It's nothing more than preserving the so-called self-esteem and leaving behind a beautiful reputation."
"But - only when people are alive can they have hope and a future."
“Only then can you realize your ambitions.”
"If you die, you'll have nothing."
"Those who seek death for the sake of reputation and dignity are just another kind of cowardice."
"When it is time to die, one can face death bravely and die heroically. When it is still necessary to live, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, one must strive to live, even if it means drinking muddy water, even if it means begging for mercy from someone who has killed someone and taken his wife. This is a truly brave person, this is... a true ninja."
"In this era when samurai have begun to degenerate and there is almost no place for ninjas, it is a blessing for martial arts to have a true ninja like you."
“…He…Hehe…Hahahahahaha…!” Yoshihisa, who had stopped kowtowing and buried his face in the ground since a while ago, suddenly let out a low laugh.
"It seems... you have indeed understood the meaning of what I told you back then... Haha... my advice to you back then was not in vain..."
Jijiu slowly raised his head and looked at Chuguang.
There were no more tears or snot on the old man's face.
His eyes and his expression returned to being that of the arrogant leader of Iga Village.
His cheeks and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he showed a wicked smile to Chu Guang.
Yoshihisa looked at Chuguang with a meaningful look, then slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, put his forehead on the ground, and slightly lifted the back of his neck.
“…Do it!”
There are no unnecessary movements.
There were no more superfluous words.
Just adjust the neck to a position more suitable for the first light chop.
He just said to Chu Guang, "Do it."
"...Ms. A-machi. Can you lend me your wakizashi?"
"..." Atachi didn't say anything, but silently pulled out the wakizashi from his waist and handed it to Hatsumitsu.
After weighing the knife handed to him by Atachi, Hatsumitsu placed the blade against the back of Yoshihisa's neck, adjusted the position, and slowly raised the knife...
Chu Guang’s face… had been expressionless and indifferent since just now.
But at this moment, after slowly raising the blade, the expression on Chu Guang's face...slowly underwent subtle changes.
Because of the angle, A-Ming and others were unable to see Chu Guang's current expression.
Only the sky, the earth, the wind, and the rain saw the first light at this moment. What did it look like?
…
…
"...Thank you for taking care of me over the years."
…
…
Buzz——!
A white blade flashed...
Crash...
The heavy rain washed away the hot blood of the last ninja.
