Chapter 74 The Rope Tree That Can Breathe Through Water (Third Update)

The next afternoon.

The metropolis of the Iron Country.

Natsuki and the others followed Tsunade into the Daimyo's residence.

The daimyo of the Land of Iron sat in a high position, flanked by samurai with katana at their waists.

"Daimyo."

Tsunade bowed slightly and said.

"Princess Tsunade, welcome."

The Daimyo of the Land of Iron spoke very politely.

Xia Mu's heart stirred.

In the original work, Tsunade is often referred to as a princess.

For a ninja, this is impossible.

The reason is that ninjas actually have a very low status in the ninja world.

Ninjas were essentially henchmen or mercenaries of the daimyo, and were extremely humble in front of the daimyo.

Tsunade is an exception.

Whether it's ninjas from other villages or daimyo and nobles from various countries, everyone who sees her will address her as "princess."

"Daimyo."

Tsunade took out a scroll and said, "This is intelligence that our Konoha Village received not long ago."

After she finished speaking, a young samurai walked up to her, took the scroll, and handed it to the daimyo of the Land of Iron.

The daimyo of the Land of Iron opened the scroll and began to read.

After a moment, his expression became very serious.

"Mifune, you take a look too."

The daimyo of the Land of Iron casually handed the scroll to the young samurai.

When Natsuki heard the name Mifune, his gaze fell on him.

In the original work, his main role is concentrated in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

He was already 65 years old at that time, and his appearance was quite different from that of a young man now.

"Daimyo, although the Land of Iron is a neutral country, we now have a common enemy, so Konoha hopes to form an alliance with you."

Tsunade explained her purpose for coming.

The alliance might seem to favor the Land of Iron, since Konoha is stronger than it, but that's not actually the case.

Between the Land of Iron and the Land of Rain lies the Land of Fire.

In other words, if Amegakure wants to attack the Land of Iron, it will most likely attack Konoha as well.

"I agree."

The daimyo of the Land of Iron exchanged a glance with Mifune and then agreed.

Although Amegakure is a small ninja village, its strength far surpasses that of the Land of Iron due to the presence of Hanzo.

If the Land of Iron were to face the Hidden Rain Village alone, there would only be one outcome: defeat.

Although they are separated by the Land of Fire, Amegakure can take a detour, and Konoha can give way.

"I still trust Konoha Village's reputation."

The daimyo of the Land of Iron then said, "Mifune, go and prepare the alliance treaty immediately."

"Yes, your name."

, 7

Mifune nodded and then turned to instruct his men to make the arrangements.

"Preparing the treaty takes time, so we'll sign it tomorrow morning."

The daimyo of the Land of Iron paused for a moment, then said, "You must be tired from your journey. Go and rest first, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

"Daimyo."

Tsunade said calmly, "My students have long admired the swordsmanship of the Land of Iron. I wonder if we could hold an exchange meeting?"

The daimyo of the Land of Iron subconsciously looked at Natsuki and the others.

He quickly laughed and said, "Of course."

Xia Mu and the others looked to be only eight or nine years old. No matter how strong they were, they were at most Chunin.

Tsunade's admiration for the swordsmanship of the Land of Iron was probably not just polite talk; logically and emotionally, he should have agreed to this exchange meeting.

"Mifune, you get ready."

The daimyo of the Land of Iron ordered, "Go and summon all your senior and junior brothers and students."

"Yes, your name."

Mifune said calmly.

His idea was the same as the Daimyo of the Land of Iron: that the children, including Natsuki, had come because of his reputation.

Tsunade could guess what they were thinking, but she didn't say anything.

Because words are useless; everything must be proven by results.

"How about we schedule it after the dinner?"

The daimyo of the Land of Iron thought for a moment and then asked.

"Can."

Tsunade nodded and said.

After the matter was settled, Natsuki and the others followed Mifune to the rooms arranged for them to rest.

Soon, it was time to eat.

The daimyo of the Land of Iron took them very seriously, and the dishes he served were all delicious and visually appealing.

It tastes good, but it still can't compare to the food Xia Mu makes.

After the meal, we went to the exchange meeting.

The exchange meeting was held in the courtyard of the Daming Mansion.

Although it was already dark, under the illumination of various lights, it was no different from daytime.

"Let me introduce you to our guests."

Mifune raised his hand and said, "This is my student, named Yagyu Musashi. His strength is roughly equivalent to a Chunin."

"I want to challenge him!"

Rope Tree said impatiently.

"Nawaki, let's wait until Mifune finishes his introduction."

Tsunade glared at Nawaki and said.

Mifune continued his introduction.

Although many samurai came, the vast majority of them were Chunin-level, and a few were Jonin-level.

"The first match: Yagyu Musashi versus Nawaki!"

After confirming the intentions of both parties, Mifune spoke loudly.

"Rope Tree, keep it up!"

"6

Xia Mu spoke up.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely beat him!"

Nawaki said with a broad smile, "I learned your Water Breathing technique!"

After he finished speaking, he went onto the field carrying his greatsword, Samehada.

Yagyu Musashi subconsciously looked at the greatsword Samehada.

Is this also a knife?

"careful."

Mifune's gaze sharpened as he recognized the greatsword Samehada. "This is one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, the greatsword Samehada."

Upon hearing this, Yagyu Musashi immediately became cautious.

He had heard of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were very famous.

Sword Technique: Iai Slash!

With a sway, Yagyu Musashi charged towards Nawaki.

As he approached him, he suddenly drew his sword.

The knife moved like lightning, its tip piercing straight into the heart of the rope tree.

Nawaki immediately used Water Breathing when he saw him move.

Water Breathing not only enhances the power of Water Release techniques, but also provides comprehensive physical strengthening.

He immediately caught the trace of the blade's gleam, which was previously invisible.

Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!

Nawaki gripped the greatsword Samehada and hurled it directly at the enemy.

The water gushed out, forming a huge arc of light in front of him.

With a loud bang!

The katana and the greatsword Samehada clashed.

Yagyu Musashi felt a jolt in his body and kicked his feet backward.

"Again!"

Rope Tree shouted excitedly.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

He twisted his body, and the Greatsword Samehada followed his movement, forming a spinning slash from top to bottom.

The water flowed around him, rotating like a waterwheel.

Yagyu Musashi was horrified.

He instinctively raised his knife to block, but it was too late.

The immense force caused his katana to bend.

The water then crashed onto him.

Yagyu Musashi screamed and spun around on the ground twice like a top.

The daimyo of the Land of Iron and Mifune and the others fell into a deathly silence.

What seemed like a sure victory turned into a crushing defeat in the blink of an eye.

But can we blame Yagyu Musashi?

No.

"What kind of swordsmanship is that?"

Mifune couldn't help but ask.

He considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, having heard of all kinds of sword techniques, big and small, in the ninja world.

But this sword technique was unheard of.

"The Breath of Water".

Nawaki raised his hand and said, "It's a sword technique created by Natsuki himself."

Mifune subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing.

Upon seeing that it was Natsuki, he was stunned.

His first reaction was that Rope Tree was lying.

How could an eight or nine-year-old child possibly create such amazing swordsmanship?

Even in the Land of Iron, one would need to be a sword master to create such a sword technique.

A swordsman's level is equivalent to a Jonin.

But Rope Tree had no reason to lie.

Lying, especially in front of Tsunade, damages the reputation of Konoha.
