The Legend Of Samurai

Ch 4: Submerged strength

the Main Hall of the Klan

Buamm....

All the disciples and Elders who were teaching inside the Hall were shocked by the sound of the explosion.

After the explosion stopped, the sound of the walls of the Hall collapsed to create a hole with a diameter to be wide. All the teachers and disciples of the Uesugi Clan looked towards the shattered wall.

Suddenly a terrifying aura suppressed the entire disciple within this Hall. Yoshi and the other Elders who were inside the hall immediately calmed down his disciple.

A short time later, after the wall was destroyed, the silhouette of a black-haired man emerged from the dust of the collapse. The man held a black katana in a blue aura. While his wakizashi is still gloved at the waist.

"Yoshi! I want your life-!" Hanbei exclaimed loudly while brandishing his katana. Hanbei further suppressed everyone who was in this hall with his aura.

All the Elders, and disciples turned their heads towards Tanaka Yoshi.

Knowing himself to be the center of attention made himself instantly furious, he already knew this situation would happen. He then ran while pulling the katana from the sheath and berhenri right in front of Hanbei.

"Better we finish this in de-" has not finished talking Hanbei directly cut it.

"No need for pleasantries, you savage man!" Hanbei immediately attacked with a slash aimed at the left shoulder.

Tanaka Yoshi was not at all surprised that he had read his attack, he raised his katana and deflected the slash.

Yoshi jumped back, after fending off Hanbei's attack.

"Why is his strength growing," muttered Tanaka Yoshi quietly.

Hanbei did not loosen his attack he moved forward giving a streak of attacks.

Tanaka Yoshi could only fend off while jumping backwards. However, Hanbei kept attacking fiercely. The fight now looks like a one-sided weight.

The elders who were around the battle area, just watching, they did not want to help the desperate Yoshi. According to them, this was a personal matter between the two Elders.

Yoshi who was getting desperate, still not giving up, he continued to fend off Hanbei's attacks that were getting increasingly deadly.

Some time passed, the result of the fight was vaguely visible.

Yoshi who looked extremely exhausted jumped backwards avoiding Hanbei's attack.

"Wait..." Yoshi said with a disjointed breath.

"I know it's my fault, but is it an exaggeration if you intend to kill me here" he said.

Hanbei, who heard it spit in his face, then again attacked, "Hiswa must be paid with life!"

Yoshi, whose body has been filled with incision wounds, then makes his movement more slowed down, just surviving.

"What do you mean by that?" Yoshi said as he tried to fend off the attack after attack that Hanbei was laying down.

A small crack was seen in Yoshi's katana, after exchanging several dozen moves.

"I admit my mistake Hanbei-Sama, but I swear I didn't mem.." His words were interrupted, as he spewed blood.

Uhuk.

Yoshi vomited blood. In his katana position resting on the floor of the Hall, "Let's finish this by way of my fellow knight!" he said while trying to stand up.

Yoshi intends to use the greatest style he has mastered during his time as a samurai.

"Shadow step!" Tanaka Yoshi exclaimed loudly, pulling out the wakizashi (short sword) that was on his waist, which was, then threw his wakizash towards the exact direction of Hanbei's heart and moved quickly towards the back intending to shake his katana towards Hanbei's neck.

"Dragon pounced on the sky," Hanbei said softly, in a monotonous tone.

Yoshi's eyes suddenly widened uncertainly just slashing the empty wind.

While Hanbei had already disappeared from before him and in one breath he was already behind Yoshi (they were like swapping places) taking a shift to slash his head.

"Die You-!" hanbei.

His rolling head fell to the floor with his eyes still glaring, plus with his wakizashinya that did not hit Hanbei right pierced his own heart. The body that had no life fell to the floor of the hall following his head.

This main hall bears witness to the devastating battle of the two Samurai.

Hanbei re-inserted the katana. And rushed back to take care of the funeral for his wife.

"Who are you?!" Kimura said after seeing someone suddenly appear before him.

At first, only black smoke appeared. However, suddenly some time later the black smoke disappeared, then showed an individual dressed in all black complete with a plain white mask covering his face.

"My goal here is not to introduce myself" the individual said as he walked up to Kimura and crouched down before him, "There is more to the business than just getting acquainted."

Kimura instantly became wary after hearing the mysterious individual's words.

"Tell me what your intention is to come here!" Kimura shouted out loudly in front of the face of the mysterious individual, he did not feel any fear at all.

The individual wearing all black only smiled thinly behind his mask.

"Maybe you won't be able to hear my true intentions" the masked individual said, holding the handle of his katana and intending to pull it out of its sheath.

Kimura was getting more alert.

"I want to eliminate someone who has a relationship with the Uesugi Hanbei Maeda!" he exclaimed, while lifting his katana which was covered in black aura, intending to cut Kimura's body into two pieces.

Kimura then reflexively jumped to the side avoiding the attack.

Even though he covered his face with a mask, it was still apparent from his body's gestures that he was shocked to see the boy had managed to dodge his attack within such a close distance. In fact, he had already drained a quarter of his inner energy into his katana.

His ability was quite good as well, for a child his age, the individual's mind while looking to the right side, where Kimura was now standing, and looking at him with a furious look.

"Now I know the cause of my mother's death and it must be you!" Kimura shouted out loud.

The things around him were flying everywhere.

Kimura looked different from the one before, a red-coloured aura enveloping his entire body. Hair that initially long fall dangled is now lifted up like being on the electric circuit. And strangely the temperature around him became a little hot.

"I will kill you." said Kimura in a very cold tone.

"Oho's so arrogant, you want to kill me, huh? You should practice a few more years to just touch me." the masked individual said as he formed the horses to prepare to attack again, "This time I will not underestimate you anymore."

While preparing to take a swing, he sensed that someone was approaching him. And from the aura of his existence that person was someone who feared him the most to just fight against one, because he knew, surely he would lose.

He quickly moved to attack Kimura.

Kimura who saw the attack pointed at his neck, immediately lowered his head and retorted with a fist that pointed at the stomach of the masked individual.

However, as already predicted his attack would fail to slash the boy's neck. Black smoke reappeared and immediately swallowed the masked individual and then disappeared without impact.

Kimura only punched the wind because the object of his fist had already disappeared. However, the voice of the masked individual was still clearly heard by his sense of hearing.

"At another time we continue this fight, see you..."

Once the individual's voice is no longer heard, the, Kimura fell down in a kneeling position with a face so pale - While Hanbei who felt a strange aura within his Villa immediately spurred his run trying until as fast as possible.

"Son, what happened?" Hanbei stopped at the door of the room, he looked at Kimura who was on the floor kneeling.

Hanbei immediately approached Kimura because his question was not answered.

However, Kimura did not answer his question.
