Chapter 76: Victory over Misaka, Fantasy Collapse Unlocked (Fifth Update)

"Since you can create your own sword techniques, then you must be most skilled in swordsmanship."

Mifune gripped his katana Kurosawa in his right hand, but did not draw it.

"almost."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"And where's your knife?"

Mifune looked him up and down and asked.

A ninja's satchel can only hold small ninja tools like kunai and shuriken; it certainly can't hold a sword.

Knives are usually hung at the waist or placed on the back.

"My knife is rather special."

Xia Mu formed hand seals and summoned Yuan Shizuka.

He already has two knives, one Thor's Sword and one Cat Cutter.

But it would be difficult for those two swords to cut through Mifune's Kurosawa.

The Thor's Sword itself is not very sturdy; in the original work, it was even broken by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Needless to say, Nekogiri isn't a famous sword; it's just a sword with a little chakra metal added to it.

Therefore, Natsuki intends to use Sarutoshi.

Sarutoshi already possessed an indestructible body, and with the added enhancement of ten shadow magic techniques, his hardness surpassed that of Mifune's Kurosawa.

However, cutting it still requires some skill, such as repeatedly striking a certain spot on the blade.

"What's going on?"

The other samurai were puzzled by Sarushizu's appearance.

"This is... the Third Hokage's summoning beast?"

Mifune had a broader perspective than other samurai, immediately thinking of Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma.

Yes and no.

Xia Mu explained, "It's not the Hokage's summoning beast, but it does come from the ape clan."

As he spoke, Sarutoshi's body shifted, and a katana quickly appeared before everyone.

Xia Mu casually placed the samurai sword at his waist.

"I've heard of the ape race before, but I never expected to see it with my own eyes today."

Mifune said earnestly, "Please enlighten me."

Xia Mu's self-created Water Breathing Sword Technique was enough to make him take it seriously.

Now they've even brought out a summoning beast just like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's status and strength, it's impossible for him to casually give his summoning beast to an eight or nine-year-old child.

Xia Mu must have some extraordinary abilities.

Mifune was previously very confident of winning the battle, but now he is somewhat unsure.

No matter what, he has to win.

Sword Technique: Iai Slash!

Mifune's body vanished instantly, leaving only a streak of light flashing rapidly through the air.

While both techniques involve the sword technique Iaijutsu, in his hands, the speed is much faster than that of Yagyu Musashi and Miyamoto Jiro.

Ittō-ryū (One-Sword Style), Iaijutsu (Quick Attack), and Shishi-sō (Lion's Lament)!

Enhancement Magic!

Natsuki had already guessed that he would use the sword technique Iaijutsu, so he also drew his sword.

He transformed into a streak of light and crashed into it.

The sound of something cutting through the air was followed by a piercing metallic explosion.

The terrifying power created wave after wave of air that spread outwards.

The onlookers frowned instinctively, but their eyes remained fixed on the scene.

The two people who had disappeared reappeared.

The two samurai swords remained locked in a stalemate.

"This—this—"

"Are they evenly matched? Am I under an illusion?"

"His swordsmanship is no worse than Lord Mifune's?"

Miyamoto Jiro and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces showing disbelief.

"Well done!"

Rope Tree immediately shouted excitedly.

Minato Namikaze leaned forward instinctively.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity to understand Xia Mu's strength.

A look of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

She had assumed that Natsuki's strength was considerably inferior to Mifune's.

"That's truly remarkable!"

As Mifune praised, he suddenly raised his hands and then lowered them.

In a very short time, he unleashed tremendous power, delivering a downward slash aimed directly at Xia Mu's katana.

One-Sword Style: Thirty-Six Troubles of the Phoenix!

Xia Mu did not take the blow head-on. Instead, he stepped back, and the sword wave exploded outwards like the wind.

Mifune's expression remained unchanged; he changed his downward slash into a horizontal one, directly splitting the sword wave in two.

Sword Technique: Sky-Splitting Slash!

Mifune flicked his wrist, and chakra surged into his Kurosawa.

A blade of light, shaped like a crescent moon, struck Xia Mu.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu immediately stopped in his tracks, raised his katana, and countless streams of water surrounded him.

Enhancement Magic!

He leaped up and, using the strength of his body, brought his katana down on Mifune's head.

The blade shattered.

With a clang!

Mifune used Kurosawa to block Natsuki's samurai sword.

But what he didn't notice was that in both collisions, Natsuki's katana landed at two-thirds of the way down Kurosawa's blade.

Xia Mu was able to be so accurate because he had the ability to see a thousand miles.

A telescope can accurately hit a target several kilometers away, let alone Kurosawa at such close range.

Mifune Ryuichi's Tachi: Flame!

Kurosawa lit up, shimmering with a blue light.

Mifune gripped Kurosawa tightly, and the instant he channeled chakra into him, he created distance and suddenly flung him away.

A powerful sword aura appeared in the air.

Its enormous size resembled a forty-meter-long sword descending from the sky.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

Xia Mu unleashed several slashes in an instant, finally blocking the sword energy with a single strike.

Countless shockwaves exploded like fireworks.

Xia Mu uncontrollably retreated, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

"Very good!"

"Lord Mifune has gained the upper hand!"

"As expected, Lord Mifune is even stronger!"

The other samurai became excited upon seeing this.

Tsunade, Nawaki, and the others showed expressions of worry.

Xia Mu stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, he was indeed inferior to Mifune.

But this is not a battle of pure swordsmanship.

"Your swordsmanship talent is, in my opinion, the strongest."

Mifune said regretfully, "It's a pity you're not a samurai from the Land of Iron."

After speaking, he lunged forward again, and Kurosawa, like a giant dragon, bit at Natsuki.

Enhancement Magic!

Water Breathing - Land Form - Twisting Vortex!

Xia Mu twisted his body and struck Kurosawa two-thirds of the way in with his knife.

Michiru felt a slight tremor in his arms, but he quickly regained his balance. Kurosawa spun around and swept out again.

Enhancement Magic!

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu met the attack with a slash.

With a clang!

Both sides stepped back.

But Xia Mu had to take a step back.

Even with the enhancement magic and the Water Breathing technique, his physical attributes are ultimately inferior to Mifune's well-honed physique.

Even so, the fact that they were able to fight him and only fall slightly behind was enough to shock Miyamoto Jiro and the others.

For the first time, they learned that someone actually possessed such terrifying swordsmanship talent.

Even Minato Namikaze felt his scalp tingle watching it.

He definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Natsuki before he learns the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The two swords clashed repeatedly.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows.

There is no doubt that the three ships have the advantage.

However, Natsuki also has an advantage: he has a lot of chakra, which allows him to continuously use enhancement magic and Water Breathing.

"Um?"

Mifune suddenly let out a soft "hmm" and quickly distanced himself.

He looked down and couldn't help but frown.

A crack appeared at two-thirds of the way down Kurosawa.

This was the first time he had seen it damaged since he owned Kurosawa.

"The indestructible bodies of the ape race are indeed well-deserved."

Mifune took a deep breath and said.

"After the battle, I'm willing to pay for the repair of this katana for you."

Xia Mu pretended not to know anything and spoke up.

"unnecessary!"

Mifune immediately said, "But it really should end this! Try this!"

Secret Sword - Snowstorm Slash!

With a fierce shout, Mifune unleashed a torrent of chakra from his entire body.

With him at the center, a storm was formed.

Kurosawa, on the other hand, emitted a strong blue light.

The light covered the blackness and continued to spread outwards.

Xia Mu immediately realized that he couldn't catch it.

In the instant the three ships moved, he used the white jet.

A massive blue sword aura, accompanied by a gust of wind, hurtled towards Xia Mu.

Wherever it passed, the ground cracked and gravel flew everywhere.

Tsunade instinctively stood up, ready to rescue Natsuki, when she witnessed an astonishing scene.

Just before the blue sword energy reached him, Xia Mu soared into the sky.

It truly soared into the sky.

Countless plumes of smoke lifted him up into the air.

The blue sword energy immediately missed its target.

A huge trench appeared in the ground.

Mifune was momentarily stunned.

His eyes reflected Xia Mu in mid-air.

Clearly, his Secret Sword - Snowstorm Slash had no effect.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Tsunade looked surprised.

"It can actually fly?"

Minato Namikaze was also seeing a flying ninjutsu for the first time, and he was immediately stunned.

"That's so cool!"

Rope Tree shouted excitedly.

Enhancement Magic!

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu plummeted rapidly through the air, surrounded by flowing water.

As they approached Mifune, a sharp sword light descended.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Mifune reacted quickly, gripping Kurosawa tightly and slashing upwards to block Natsuki's katana.

It's now!

Xia Mu's gaze sharpened, and he stretched out his left hand, causing the cat-cutting creature to fall into his hand from his shadow space.

Enhancement Magic!

Double fan-shaped slash!

The katana that Nekogiri and Sarushizuki transformed into crossed to form a fan shape.

The center of the fan shape is precisely two-thirds of the way from Kurosawa.

A deafening impact was followed by a crisp sound.

To everyone's astonishment, the famous sword Kurosawa broke.

The tip of the knife flew out and landed on the ground.

Mifune gripped the broken sword and instinctively stabbed at Natsuki.

White Snake!

Natsuki threw away the cat cutter with his left hand, and smoke billowed out.

The smoke, resembling a white snake, immediately enveloped the three boats.

Natsuki raised his right hand, and the katana was pressed against his neck.

Mifune was stunned.

After a long while, he finally let go.

The broken sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

When a samurai voluntarily discards his sword, it means he has admitted defeat.

Miyamoto Jiro and the others stood there like wooden figures, speechless.

"We won!"

Rope Tree immediately shouted.

Yakushi Nonou also subconsciously stood up.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, she would definitely have run up to them.

Tsunade smiled with satisfaction, but then a headache followed.

Because Natsuki performed too well.

It's really inappropriate for them to defeat Mifune so rudely and break his famous sword Kurosawa so soon after becoming allies.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the fourth ability of the Heroic Spirit Emiya template: Fantasy Collapse.]

Xia Mu looked at the line of text that appeared in front of him and thought to himself that he had finally unlocked Fantasy Collapse.
