Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 597 Ah, you are the guardian deity born from the Great Spiritual Vein?!
The white-clad ninja looked very serious, but Isayama Naraku's expression was somewhat subtle upon hearing this.

How should I put it? It's like a primitive person sharing the technique of polishing stone tools with you, a modern person. In a supernatural world where spiritual power and magic prevail, someone tells you that practicing swordsmanship will make you stronger, which would feel a bit absurd.

You should know that modern exorcists, like those guys from the Countermeasures Bureau, are already using modern exorcism equipment to perform exorcisms.

As for swordsmanship with cold weapons, it's not that you can't become stronger by practicing it, but the increase in strength won't be too great. It's quite different from what I expected, where the other party might teach some kind of cultivation method that could greatly enhance spiritual power.

"Can this really make my daughter and Kagura stronger?"

Isayama Naraku couldn't help but ask.

Why not?

The white-clad ninja responded by holding up a sign, his pale gold eyes fixed on Isayama Naraku with a hint of confusion, as if he couldn't quite understand the question Isayama had asked.

"Then, I'll leave my daughter and Kagura in your care, Lord Shirakage."

Isayama Naraku had a lot to say and a lot to complain about, but in the end, out of politeness, he placed his hands on his knees and bowed to the white-clad ninja.

[Let's not delay, let's start our training to get stronger!]

As a summoned creature, the White Shadow Ninja is a mission execution machine, a symbol of efficiency.

The villa by the sea also has a training dojo.

The White Shadow Ninja had Yomi Isayama and Kagura Tsuchimiya wield bamboo swords and began rigorously training them using what was called a swordsmanship training manual, which was actually a swordsmanship practice manual specially tailored for the two by Broly.

[Your movement is incorrect. Your sword swing should be like this.]

[Wrong. When jabbing, the foot on the same side should step out halfway across the bayonet for maximum power.]

The angle of the slash needs to be adjusted to significantly increase its power.

……

Isayama Yomi knows how to use a sword, but now, under the guidance of the White Shadow Ninja, she feels like a naive child learning swordsmanship for the first time.

Even a very simple forward slash will be pointed out by the opponent for being incorrect in the details, thus requiring various minor adjustments to the movement.

Isayama Naraku, Isayama Mei, and Imano Setsuna watched from the side with somewhat strange expressions. In any case, they couldn't see any difference between the slight adjustment of their movements and the original movements. And could this really make Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura stronger?

However, Broly was quite satisfied. He had long had complaints about the girl's various flaws in swordsmanship. Now, his summoned creature had been assigned as his mentor, carefully guiding the girl and other girls on the minor flaws in their swordsmanship. This gave him the feeling of watching a damaged antique being restored, which was extremely satisfying.

The training continued from morning until noon.

The aroma of food wafted through the air, and Mei Isayama, wearing an apron, busied himself in the kitchen.

She then sent Broly to fetch someone.

"Sister Huangquan, Sister Kagura, it's time to eat."

Hearing this, the girl and the girl who were practicing their swordsmanship earnestly turned their gazes toward the white-shadowed ninja.

Adequate rest is also necessary.

This was the master's intention, and the white-clad ninja naturally had no objections, raising his sign in response.

"Teacher Baiying, would you like to come along?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya asked, "Izayama Yomi is also looking over here."

Although they haven't felt any real improvement in strength yet, the two are still quite respectful of the white-clad ninja who has been carefully instructing them on swordsmanship for most of the day.

I am a spirit; I do not need to eat.

"No problem, spirits can eat too."

Isayama Yomi didn't care and, as if they were old friends, pulled the white-clad ninja away.

The white-clad ninja glanced questioningly at its master beside it.

Broly didn't know what Yomi Isayama was going to do, but he instructed his summoned creatures to act according to the girl's wishes.

The white-clad ninja was pulled to the dining table. Isayama Yomi found an incense burner from somewhere, poured rice into it, and lit a long incense stick.

"Ding ~"

He struck the bronze bowl beside him, making it ring out clearly, and then respectfully offered three sticks of incense to the white-robed ninja.

Kagura Tsuchimiya followed suit, placing three incense sticks into the incense burner. The two then clasped their hands together and bowed to the white-clad ninja.

"Teacher Baiying is a spirit, so we just need to worship her as if she were a dead person."

Seeing the boy's curious gaze, Isayama Yomi explained something to him.

"I see."

Broly nodded, but what intrigued him was whether it was truly effective to worship the White Shadow Ninja, which was his own summoned creature, in this way.
With that in mind, he asked his summoned creature directly, "Do you feel like eating?"

A faint power is traveling with this smoke.

The white-clad ninja responded by holding up a sign, and surprisingly, it actually worked.

“In ancient times, many demons and spirits gradually evolved into local deities by accepting offerings from humans.”

Seeing the situation, Isayama Naraku also came over and said something. What puzzled him was that a powerful spirit like the White Shadow Ninja should not be so unknown.

The head of the Isayama family could not have imagined that the White Shadow Ninja was a summon that had only been created for less than half a month. It was only because of the summoner's own strength that it had excessive stats at birth.

While everyone else ate, the white-clad ninja accepted offerings of incense.

In the afternoon, sword training continued.

[Very good, today's training is over. I'll come again tomorrow.]

As dusk fell, the white-clad ninja held up a sign announcing the end of training.

"Oh, thanks for the guidance."

Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura instinctively expressed their gratitude.

However, the white-clad ninja had already vanished into the light, and it was unknown whether he had heard it or not.

"Ugh, I'm so tired. So many muscles in my body are sore."

When I finished showering and lay in bed preparing to sleep, the fatigue accumulated from a day of exercise gradually became apparent.

Many muscle groups that were not previously activated are now feeling sore and numb.

"Sister Huangquan, let me give you a massage."

Broly volunteered.

"Thank you for your help!"

Isayama Yomi did not refuse. Dressed in white pajamas and lying on the bed, she let the boy fuss over her.

"Broly, I want one too."

Kagura Tsuchimiya heard Yomi Isayama humming comfortably as the boy's small hands massaged her, but she also raised her hand; she was tired too.

"no problem."

Broly gave an OK sign and had the girl lie down next to him, while he sat sideways on Isayama Yomi's butt.

His hands pressed on Isayama Yomi's lower back, while his feet rested on Tsuchimiya Kagura's back, performing a massage to relax her muscles and improve blood circulation. Muffled moans and groans filled the air for a while, then with a loud bang, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Hey, what are you all doing in the room?!"

Mei Isayama pushed open the door and rushed in, thinking something terrible had happened inside, but what she actually saw after pushing open the door was not the scene of two horses driving two cars that she had imagined.

“Broly used to be a massage therapist, and he’s helping us relieve physical fatigue.”

The boy held Isayama Yomi's hands and stepped on her buttocks, making her look like a fish lifting its body. The muscles in her chest and arms were stretched, causing her to let out a comfortable groan. While groaning, she answered her cousin's question.

"Is that what it looks like?"

Isayama Mei was a little confused when she saw the boy stretch Isayama Yomi's front half to its limit, then suddenly let go, letting his cousin fall onto the bed, revealing a flushed expression that was easy to misunderstand, like she had just finished intense exercise.

Then, he instructed Kagura Tsuchimiya, who was standing next to him, to have the girl raise her hands to hold the back of her head. He quickly came behind Kagura Tsuchimiya, reached his hands through her armpits, then through the arm loops formed by the girl's arms, crossed his hands and pressed them against the back of the girl's neck, and then lifted the girl's shoulder and neck muscles.

"Hmmmm~"

Kagura Tsuchimiya also made some sounds that could be easily misunderstood. Although their posture looked very intimate and they were pressed together, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

"That's how it is, Sister Ming, Broly is really good at massage. After he did that, I feel my fatigue is easing."

Kagura Tsuchimiya gave it a perfect score. The boy's actions only made her feel comfortable. Although he occasionally touched some sensitive spots, he did not make her feel repulsed.

Their frequent interactions had made her accustomed to boys.

"They do look very professional..."

Mei Isayama had to admit this.

She saw only comfort on her cousin's and the Tsuchimiya family's faces.

It made her want to lie down on the bed and receive a yoga spa treatment from the boy.

The next day, the white-clad ninja came to teach again.

The Shadow Ninja's role was temporarily ended, and he was ordered offline by Broly to no longer be a nuisance.

However, the summoned creatures' actions were under Broly's control, while the actions of the other creatures were not.

The day after they moved, Jinguji Ayame came to visit them with gifts.

The reason given was that the talisman had cured her paralyzed lower body, and she had come to thank Isayama Yomi.

Of course, what she really wanted was to meet the White Shadow Ninja again.

. . . .

"Lord Baiying, our last meeting was too rushed, and I haven't had a chance to thank you for healing my injuries with your talisman..."

The iris from Jinguji Temple bowed in gratitude.

[I have received your thanks. You may leave now and do not disturb my training.]

The white-clad ninja accepted the thanks and then held up the sign.

"In fact, I have other matters I would like to consult with Lord Baiying."

Jinguji Ayame stood up and said with a serious expression.

The white-clad ninja remained silent, simply gazing at the mature female head of the department in front of him.

"I would like to ask about your background."

Jinguji Ayame had already prepared her speech and was not affected by the increasingly oppressive atmosphere that followed the White Shadow Ninja's silence. She continued speaking.

I don't need to answer any of your questions.

The scenario is used: the white-clad ninja holds up a sign, demonstrating a tough stance.

"Then we can only treat you as a potential enemy."

As soon as Jinguji Ayame finished speaking, a ninja sword was pressed against her neck.

Apart from Broly, no one present could clearly see the white shadow ninja's sword-drawing motion.

"Director!"

The countermeasures bureau members who followed exclaimed in surprise and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Don't be nervous. If Lord Baiying really wanted to kill me, I would already be dead by now. The fact that I'm still alive means that it's not a bloodthirsty spirit."

Jinguji Ayame raised her hand to stop the rash actions of the countermeasures bureau members behind her, but her expression remained unchanged.

Of course, when the ninja sword was placed in front of his neck, the man's pupils were still slightly constricted and his body was somewhat tense. However, he had excellent control over his expression and was also very resilient to psychological pressure, which is why he looked like he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Your Excellency White Shadow, your evil side has taken something very important from us, and based on our speculation, we have reason to suspect that you and your other side may be putting on a show."

Therefore, if we cannot understand your background and the origins of your other side, we will absolutely not be at ease and will inevitably remain wary of you. We hope you can understand.

Jinguji Ayame stared straight at the white-clad ninja and calmly explained the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau's reasons for doing what it did.

Humans, even if I were willing to tell you about our origins, you probably wouldn't believe me, and I have no way to verify what I say.

The white-clad ninja stared at Jinguji Ayame with his pale gold eyes, seemingly scrutinizing the head of the countermeasures bureau in front of him, but in reality, he was counting down the time he would spend intimidating her with a tough attitude.

"The question of its origins will be raised, so this is the best approach: first, use a strong stance and a powerful attitude to deflect the question."

If the other party is afraid and intimidated by the tough attitude, then so be it. This is the ninja way of the White Shadow Ninja Spirit, and there is no need to explain anything to humans.

But if the other party isn't afraid, then you should pretend to be helpless, only able to answer their questions, but first make it clear that you can't provide any verification of the answers...

Having mastered quite a few tricks that make it easier for people to believe in the character settings, White Shadow Ninja perfectly embodies these tricks.

"You don't need to worry about that; we will judge the truthfulness of what you said."

Jinguji Ayame answered with a smile, and from the White Shadow Ninja's reaction of sheathing his sword and being willing to answer the question, she had already made some judgments in her mind.

[To explain my origins and those of the shadowy figure, we must first discuss the world. How do you humans perceive the composition of the world?]

"Uh, a planet?"

Sakuraba Kazuki answered instinctively.

Our perception is based on colors, on good and evil. This world is divided into black and white, good and evil. Black represents evil forces, while white represents righteous forces. We are a unique being born from the interplay of black and white, two sides of the same coin...

The White Shadow Ninja begins in the dojo to recount his predetermined origins and background, which draws inspiration from the Yin-Yang balance theory of the adventure world.

After all, it's a rule that has already taken shape in another world. If you really want to talk about it, the idea that doing bad things will be punished is also widely circulated in many worlds.

The concept of black and white ninjas is to personify the concepts of good and evil into individuals. If someone questions it, let them verify it with the world themselves.

"Ah, so you are actually the guardian deity born from the great spiritual vein?!"

Isayama Mei exclaimed in surprise.

Some people present suddenly realized what was happening, while others looked bewildered.

Broly was one of those bewildered people.

Isn't this about the conflict between good and evil?
What exactly is a Great Spiritual Vein?
How did their own summoned creatures suddenly become known as guardian deities?
"Sister Huangquan, what is the guardian deity of the Great Spiritual Vein?"
