Chapter 26: CH-25



"You don't seem like much," his voice boomed in the room.

the man himself was packed with muscles all throughout his body, his prominent eyebrows were squinting In a frown and with a katana hanging off his belt, he looked every bit a samurai.

"Hahaha, Hizuna, don't embarrass the young man," the lord spoke, barely containing his laughter.

"Hizuna, right?" I spoke, looking directly at the man, "You see, I will crush that arrogance of yours when we actually battle."

"Save your words." He was smirking at me. He took his katana out of his sheath.

His blade sparkled in the sun; its light grey edges seemed to bend light at its arrival. Pointing his blade at me, he spoke.

"You see, I doubt you can defeat me," he smirked once again, irking me to ask.

" And why is that?" I unsheathed my blade as well. Its dark blue sheen came to the light, casting a beautiful pattern of shine.

"Interesting," he spoke amused, "Can you do this?" He asked innocently.

The very next second, chakra flowed outside his body, covering his blade... Dark blue chakra covered his blade in a layer, sharp enough to cut rock.

'Chakra sword.'.

His smile widened at seeing my look.

'Fuck, this just got a bit difficult.'.

"Hahahaha, young Hizuna, the man must have been tired; let him rest." The town head turned his gaze towards me; his eyes glinted with mischief. "The battle will occur around three hours from now; consider the challenge accepted, young warrior.".

He pointed his hand at Hizuna. "Should you win, you will take his place in the grand championship." His hand shifted to point at me. "And if he wins, you die... acceptable?".

I nodded at that; I knew the rules since the start...

Hizuna had already sheathed his katana at this point. He turned towards the head and spoke, "May I leave now, my lord?".

"Yes, Hizuna, farewell," the lord replied.

The next second Hizuna bowed down and exited from the place, before giving me a last look.

'Fuck off'...

I was in deep trouble, distracting myself from the thoughts. I looked at the solitary room; it was filled with regal chairs that were collecting dust; the sunlight was already illuminating the emptiness of the room.

'Besides, I could probably think better without an old geezer staring at me.'.

"I shall take my leave too, my lord." I bowed down to the man.

Hearing something being thrown at me, I instinctively caught the object in my hands.

Turning my head upwards, I saw a dark red sheath covering a katana in my hands; its handle was made of black leather, and its hilt had gold struck in it.

Looking at the lord who had thrown me the katana, I turned towards him questioningly.

"I saw your katana, boy; I am a fair man. You shall fight him on equal grounds." His face scrunched up a little. "Not that hunk of metal you call a sword.".

' Some other day I would beat you up for calling my precious sword a 'hunk of metal ' .'.

However, seeing a way of evening the odds, I could resist my urge.

He spoke once again, "Hizuna is the pride of Hirakuri town... However, being one of the six dragons has clouded his head with arrogance." His face had suddenly aged in a day. "In his sheer arrogance, he has done countless crimes that should reward death..."

He continued looking downcast, "However, this tournament is too important for our town, Hirakuri. If we win, the prestige alone shall make the town free from the upcoming conflict.".

'The noble war that has been going on in this land, is this town one in the crossfire?' ...

However, the question begs Regardless, why tell me this?.

'I haven't even met this man before.'.

I looked at him while tying the new katana to my back. "Why are you telling me this? I doubt these matters are such a common thing to discuss.".

He laughed at that, his voice booming in the empty room, "Fool, do you not know who you resemble?".

He looked at me seriously, "You give me the same aura as him, very weak in comparison to his; however, I can see him in you.".

'Who?'

He continued, "Do you know who won the competition twenty-one years ago?".

"Who?" I questioned once again.

" Him, Sakumo Hatake, It was a day of shame for the samurai to have lost at their art to a ninja; however, everyone acknowledged him as the strongest." He looked at me as if seeing some figure behind me. "Do you know who he defeated?"

A moment of silence later, he spoke a shocking truth.

"Mifune, the current head of the Land of Iron.".

His smile stretched to the brim, "Show me what I am seeing is right, and I shall give you as many recourses as I can to win this championship.".

'He is excited.'

He didn't even know me, yet just a faint resemblance bought such a reaction from this man...

'Even in death, your name lives on, Sakumo.'.

Unsheathing my blade, I slashed my katana upwards. "You shall see the answer in my fight.".

Putting my blade back, I bowed to the lord, "I shall take my leave now, lord.".

He nodded, and I exited the hall.

Seeing the guard still there waiting for me, I spoke, "Take me to the guest room.".

The man in armor nodded to me and started walking in front of me.

Throughout the walk, the guard kept looking at me, occasionally sneaking glances.

"If you want to know when the fight is, it's in three hours." I spoke to him clearly, satisfying his curiosity.

He acted like he didn't ask that; however, the glances stopped.

A few minutes of walking around the place, I stood in my room.

The gaurd had left a minute ago, and I finnaly had the place to myself.

for three hours, but that could extend depending on the result.

Looking at the katana in my hands, I pulled along its red embroidered sheath; the blade slipped through the opening and landed in the clear air.

'Only one thing left to try.'.

'Chakra sword.'.

Chakra flowed out of my meridians and latched onto the blade; its chakra metal stabilized my chakra as well as aided it.

I urged my chakra to keep sharpening.

sharper

sharper

'Yes, this is it.'

What lay in front of my eyes was a huge chakra sword a meter and a half in length, its huge aura brimming with life.

'Now the odds are finally even.'. I smiled.
