Outside the village of the north. Domei and Blue were running in a path and were in a hurry. Blue was carrying Fudo Toka as they run fast in the forest near the north. "We still haven't left the area! Domei! We should fasten our footwork, we've run past a lot of special swordsmens and Shira's, I hope they make it in time," Blue said as he heard Fudo Toka dozing as he carries her. "She has fallen asleep... Let's move in the air, Blue," Domei said as he sees Blue turn around and nodded. They flew up and touch down a giant tree branch and they're they jumped and continue heading west. "It's a complete disaster of what has happened in the village back there, Blue. I don't even know if we will still see something if we came back... Kiroshuku and the others I hope they're all okay," Domei said in a concerned voice as they speed up and speed up. Fudo Toka was hugging Blue while she was dozing and Blue was holding her with both of his hands. "Domei we should start speeding up and speedin
"Generals! Let us begin our meeting, we are The West providing protection to other nations... Probably all of you who are here have heard that the north is under attack, and the enemies launch a full-scale attack on their village. The General of the Fifth Army is with his soldiers, swordsmen ready to march. We are late with the information, and the south does not yet have it. The east has already taken action, and now the others who have arrived, as well as the assassins, will defend the whole village for almost a year," the unknown man added, sitting in front of a round table with additional unknown individuals. "Kingston, you're the main head of this village, taking action as one of the friendly nations is required, but I disagree with deploying the fifth army alone that doesn't have any Hashira with him or another army there to back him up, remember that the Burraku's launch a full-scale attack, meaning that a whole nation of Darks will attack the north," the General of the fourth
An unknown Hashira was walking in a hallway underneath the capital of the south. It was a hidden hallway and in the distance, there was a door. He can hear his footsteps as he approached. He gets there and unlocks the door. Everyone in the room fell silent for a split second as he entered. The room held fourteen persons in total. He is one of fourteen persons present. He walks in, closes the door behind him, and proceeds to the round table. They were all seated in front of a round table in a big room beneath the Capital. "Heads of the south, deploying your army is reckless because it is far from the north, let the west and east take care of it because they are the ones closest to the village. I already deployed my Shira's to the North Wind," a Hashira stated to the unknown man on the opposite side of the table. He's one of the heads, and he was seated with a serious face, while the other two on his side were staring at the Generals and him. "Every army is ready to act at any time
Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure were at the bottom of the ravine. Fukeshin Gakure has had both of his eyes closed for the past couple of minutes. He was leaning against a wall and holding his sword in his right hand. After a couple of minutes, he gradually opened both of his eyes and feels dizzy. "It's finally over... Ah! I hated coming here, I shouldn't have come if they just want me to teleport all of them here, such a bother," Fukeshin Gakure sighed as he turned to his left and began to walk. Kiroshuku Hakure formed an expressionless face behind him as he walked with him down to the ravine. They walk past the wreckage of houses and massive pillars. The enormous vines are the same. They were on the hunt for the huge vine's primary body. They both look around when they smell blood coming in the distance. They glance in the distance and find corpses lying at the bottom of the ravine. There was blood splashed everywhere in the distance, and it appeared that a massacre had taken
"Are you saying you'll teleport every single Hashira and Shira inside this hidden underground land, ÆShin?" Rigakure questioned, turning around menacingly and glaring at him. "Yes, is there a problem with that? Maybe it's time to introduce this magnificent place to all of the Hashiras and Shiras, we were all talking to each other lately in the spirit dimension, it didn't take that long... One of the Hashira's of the north wind doesn't have its mouth, but we're all sure he did the job done," Fukeshin Gakure replied, making him glare even more and see he's furious. "I won't let you teleport every single one of them here... And there's one more Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure, that's a spirit realm you're talking about... The spirit dimension is a real thing where every swordsman's spirit is there, you're talking in a different place. That place is where every Hashira and Shira can talk even if they're far away, I was invited in there to get in late, in fact, I was there, I looked
"Looks like we've met again... Kage Rigakure, long time no see, it's good to see you again, these Hashira's that are with me know you pretty well, what have you been doing?" Kataku Sukure inquired, his eyes serious. He notices him and looks back at the Hashiras. "For me, bravery won't get you anywhere unless you have experience, and sheesh, there's so many of you! Countless Shira's and Hashira's joining the party! What a surprise!" Kage Rigakure responded in a surprisingly pleased tone as the three in front of him stopped and glared at him. "You won't scare us like that, Kage Rigakure! You were once a traitor! You betrayed that legendary swordsman! Now, we don't trust you, or the only three of us!" Kataku Sukure said in a menacing voice. Everyone in the underground land looks at him with disbelief. They began murmuring as some of them remained silent and solemn. A number of them were enraged and furious since betrayal is the sole word that might lead to a Hashira's death. "You h
"How long do you think you'll sleep?... Kataku Sukure? I expected big, but I shoulda expected small because small things always turn into big things... You're weak, Kataku Sukure," Kage Rigakure remarked menacingly as he noticed Kataku Sukure slowly getting up. Kage Rigakure turns around to find that she is still alive and slowly rising. She turned around, furious, and menacingly caressed her blade, which began to gleam. "Hmm? You're alive? You're Fu, right? You're not that weak, but because you're the Dark King's left hand, I don't think you're the Dark King's left hand, since the Dark King made an exact seven main troops, these troops are more powerful than me and I don't see a challenge at all, Fu. I guess you're just a small part of the seven troops," Kage Rigakure said sarcastically. He laughed and giggled as he saw her vanish from where she was standing and saw how angry she was. "You shut the hell up! You punk!" she said angrily as she swung her sword down to his left side
"You're Kage Rigakure, right? I'm Ru... A Dark King troop, we are undefeated, yet one of your men defeated Fu... It's been the last hundreds of years since one of us was defeated by a human. The first human to ever defeat one is you, remember? You defeated me, you let me escape and that counted as being a traitor and betraying your comrades," the unknown Dark said, who was fighting Kage Rigakure and was named Ru. Their blades collided, causing them to fly away from each other. Kage Rigakure comes to a halt and stays firm as he hears the mysterious figure speak, revealing a recognizable face behind the mask that causes his eyes to widen. "Who are you?! Hundreds of years? What are you talking about?! A human can't live long like that! Hahaha!" Kage Rigakure said as he suddenly laughs. He laughs out loud that Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure heard it. "You know I'm right... You were a friend of mine back in the day," Ru remarked, widening his eyes before closing them and opening t
