Chapter 158 In-depth Iron Mountain City (4000)
Ningko Hirata seemed to understand the meaning of Kazuya's words, and stopped asking questions, but fell silent thoughtfully.
This also made He Ye breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, things like making up nonsense with reason and evidence really tested his on-the-spot resilience.
Both of them stopped talking, and Kazuya focused on manipulating the huge Nine Tails to shuttle through the clouds, flying at full speed, and not long after, the two had arrived in the sky above Iron Mountain City.
"According to Anayama's information, the last time your younger brother Kuro appeared was in this city." Kazuya glanced at Ningko Hirata and pouted at the city below, "If there is no accident, when the information reaches Anayama At the time of Shanshou, Sanfuan had already organized a manpower to search and arrest Tieshan City... So, we were actually one step too late."
"Then Kuro, will he..."
Ningko Hirata didn't finish his words, but the implication was already very obvious.
The girl frowned, looking at the city below, a layer of lingering melancholy shrouded her brows and eyes.
"Nine times out of ten, Mifune hasn't found Kuro yet." Kazuya expressed his judgment, "Your brother is the only known heir to the orthodox aristocratic family of the Iron Kingdom who is still outside Mifune's control. If he is caught or killed, it means that the era of nobles has officially come to an end... Unless Mifune has some special plans, if he captures Kuro, he will definitely spread the news."
"So you don't need to worry about it for the time being." Kazuya paused and added another sentence.
"That's good, that's good...then what are we going to do?"
After hearing Kazuya's conjecture, Ningko Hirata's mood obviously improved a lot, and she quickly asked about her next plan.
Hearing this, Kazuya smiled inexplicably.
Ningko Hirata couldn't see the change in Kazuya's expression because of the mask of the evil spirit, but the girl shuddered for no reason... a bad feeling emerged spontaneously.
"Let's go ahead and have a look at the city." Kazuya said while manipulating Nine Tails to descend and approach Iron Mountain City.
At this time, the sky was getting late, the sun was sinking to the west, and there was a magnificent and eye-catching fire cloud in the sky. The huge figure of Nine Tails was hidden quietly by the cover of the cloud, and was not discovered by the residents and guards in the city. It is still falling continuously.
"This height is almost the same, and it can't go down any more."
Under Kazuya's careful control, Kyuubi stopped at an extremely dangerous position and was suspended. At this height, if someone looked up at this time, they would probably find Kyuubi's existence.
"Eat this, then follow the pose I did, and do the same."
He also groped in his arms for a while, took out two Yueyin candies that had been prepared, and handed one to the dazed Hirata Ningzi.
"What is this?" Ning Zi looked at the candy in his hand and asked curiously.
"Yueyintang, you can understand it as a special drug." Kazuya explained casually, "After taking it, follow me and do an action, you can eliminate the traces and hide your body, unless you are too close, otherwise you will not be able to see it." Someone will find you... hurry up and do it with me."
While speaking, Kazuya stuffed Yueyin sugar into his mouth along the gap under the mask, and after swallowing it in one gulp, he put on a "Yueyin" pose.
The next moment, his figure quickly faded under Ning Zi's surprised gaze, and finally only a vague and faint outline remained.
Seeing this, Ningko Hirata couldn't help but lament in her heart the magic of Master Hashirama's methods, and then quickly took Yueyintang, and imitated He and also made moves.
The figure of the girl faded away.
Kazuya saw Hirata Ningko's figure disappear, and suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart... I don't know the effect of Yueyintang, can it evade the detection of Kaleidoscope Sharingan?
Immediately, three sickle-shaped patterns appeared in his eyes, and he carefully looked at the position where Ning Zi's figure disappeared.
Under the insight of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, the figure of Ningzi, which had faded to only a transparent outline, reappeared. Although it did not return to the appearance before taking Yueyintang, it was already obvious enough to be easily found. .
"Sure enough, there is no way to truly hide..."
He also sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, I took it out to check the effect now, otherwise, in the future, I will take Yueyintang in actual combat, thinking that I can avoid the pupil's insight, but the enemy finds out... that would be too much fun.
[Be content, kid. 】Yinglong said helplessly in his mind, 【After all, Yueyin Tang is only something researched by the monks of Xianfeng Temple. According to your words, the "mystery" of candy is far worse than that of the kaleidoscope writing sharing eyes in this world. , can play a certain effect is not bad, how can there be so many strong pupils in the world who can reach the level of Kaleidoscope Sharingan? 】
[The problem is that the strength of my imaginary enemies is all at the Kage level, and basically they all have a pair of eyes that start with Kaleidoscope Sharingan. 】He also smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful, 【Unfortunately, I originally thought that everything in "The Book of Weiming" was the same as Immortal Slash, with its own rules, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it can be played perfectly. to the effect. 】
[That would be too mysterious. ] Yinglong was even more helpless.
[The nature of this world is actually quite mysterious. 】He also pouted.
At the level of consciousness, he had an argument with Sakuraryu, and then refocused and returned to reality. In fact, not long had passed. Kazuya maintained his kaleidoscope Sharingan, and nodded to the translucent girl beside him.
"Are you ready?"
"What are you preparing for—ah!!!"
Ningko Hirata was only halfway through her puzzled words. Suddenly, the condensed Nine-Tails Chakra disappeared out of thin air and lost its foothold in the air. The girl immediately let out a scream, and her whole body fell to the ground uncontrollably !
"Wuhu!"
Kazuya's body was also falling downwards, but his emotions were completely different from Hirata Ningko's. Feeling the oncoming wind that almost suffocated him, Kazuya couldn't help laughing happily stand up.
Then the wind poured into his mouth, almost blowing out his tears.
"Divine power!"
Before his expression uncontrollably turned into a mask of pain, the black pattern in Kazuya's eyes twirled, and he activated the pupil technique at the last moment.
The figure of Ningko Hirata disappeared into the air at the same time as him.
……
……
"I personally respect you very much, Hashirama-sama." Ningzi Hirata said, "I support your decision unconditionally...but before you do it next time, can you let me know in advance?"
"If you notify in advance, it won't be interesting."
Kazuya replied with a smile.
A moment ago, Kazuya released the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and he and Ningko Hirata fell from mid-air. When they were about to fall to the ground and fell into meatloaf, Kazuya pressed the dead line and activated "Kamui", allowing the two The person instantly shifted to a deserted alley not far away.
Because the two had changed into specially prepared clothes before leaving, they avoided the embarrassing scene of changing clothes in the alley.
Jizo's portraits have already been spread everywhere in the ninja world, so if Kazuya wants to sneak into Iron Mountain City, of course he can no longer wear a mask.
Fortunately, when he was in the ninja school, he had always been a top student alongside Kakashi, and his basic ninjutsu mastery was extremely solid. Although he hadn't used it for a long time, it was still simple to pinch a face again with the transformation technique.
This also disappointed Ningko Hirata, who was quietly spying on Kazuya and wanted to take a look at his appearance.
"Don't think about it." Kazuya rubbed his face, feeling a little uncomfortable with this new face, "My real face should be printed in your textbooks, if you want to read it, you can stick it on the wall for a night when you go back .”
That's not as exciting as seeing a real person face to face... Hirata Ningzi swallowed his words back.
By the way, the person Kazuya chose to pinch his face was Genichiro Ashina.
In the original time and space of Sekiro, Yixin's grandson of the sword master Wei Ming, the next generation leader of the Wei Ming Kingdom, is obsessed with the power of Long Yin, so he snatched the royal son who was pregnant with Long Yin from the wolf.
He can be regarded as a BOSS character in the early and mid-term, but in the final battle, he also made an appearance for... Kazuya suffered a lot in his hands back then, and there were three or four broken handles alone.
But this time he chose to look like Xianichiro Wei Ming, there was no special reason, it was just because although he was a paranoid with Wei Ming and Long Yin in his head, his appearance was still normal and handsome.
It's better to bear this face than to become that old man Wei Mingyi.
After finishing the disguise in the alley, He also walked out with Ningzi who wore a silk scarf around his face as a disguise.
At this time, Ningko Hirata, who had calmed down a lot, belatedly recalled the fear of "airborne without an umbrella" a moment ago, and endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but complain.
After receiving Kazuya's reply that "it's boring to notify in advance", Ningko Hirata secretly decided that if she didn't have to come forward by herself next time, she would definitely not act with Kazuya.
Hirata Ningko made a decision secretly in her heart, and Kazuya was of course unaware of it.
He didn't bother to know.
At this time, Kazuya's attention was focused on the city he was in.
Iron Mountain City.
Compared with the molten iron city that I visited when I first came to the country of iron, the area of Iron Mountain City is much smaller. Although it is also located in the southern part of the country of iron, it is not a city that focuses on trade.
Therefore, whether it is the number of merchants or the degree of prosperity, it is more than one level worse than Molten Iron City.
It was dusk at this time, and the fire clouds in the sky had not yet faded, but the pedestrians on the street had become sparse.
"Hirata Kuro, where are you hiding, and why did you come to Iron Mountain City..."
While rolling his eyes, Kazuya carefully observed the pedestrians passing by, while thinking about the purpose of Kuro Hirata's coming to Iron Mountain City.
The information provided by the peddler Anayama did not mention Kuro's purpose.
There is not even a guess in this regard... It can be seen that Anayama really doesn't know anything.
The strength of intelligence gathering is still insufficient...
But Kazuya is understandable about this.
As a neutral country, the Kingdom of Iron uses warriors instead of ninjas as its combat power, which is incompatible with the five major countries outside.
Although it is not obvious on the surface, the xenophobia of the Iron Kingdom is engraved in the bones.
It is extremely difficult for a foreign businessman to settle down here, especially when the flames of the Ninja World War have not been extinguished.
Anayama, who was a peddler in Sekiro's original time and space, is an excellent businessman with a keen sense of smell and a delicate mind, but the dilemma in this respect cannot be easily resolved.
So after being left by Kazuya to develop alone in Molten Iron City, even after such a long period of time, Anayama just bought a storefront, which can be regarded as initially recognized by the merchant group of Molten Iron City.
Being able to collect this information is already considered rare, and there is no way to ask too much of him...it is unrealistic.
After this operation is over, we will provide some more funds to Xueshan so that he can continue to expand his power and speed up his development...
[Be careful. 】When Kazuya was thinking and observing the surrounding situation, Yinglong's voice sounded in his mind, with a somewhat dignified tone, 【This is not normal. 】
【explain. ] and also concise.
[There are too few pedestrians, but the life reactions around are abnormal. 】Yinglong explained,【Too many, the numbers can't match at all... at least three times as many as pedestrians, maybe more. 】
【Are you sure you didn't include ants and cockroaches? ] He also asked suspiciously.
【...The old man is [-]% sure that what the old man perceives are human beings, not the...things you mentioned. 】Yinglong sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Kazuya nodded, 【Continue, try to sense the exact location of those people. 】
[Life reaction is too dense, it is difficult. ] Yinglong said, 【I remember you said that there is something called 'radar' in your world... Didn't you bring one with you when you came? 】
[Do you think it is something you can buy casually on the street? ] Kazuya asked rhetorically, 【The night market I go to most often doesn't buy this kind of goods. 】
The communication with Yinglong did not waste time, and after He also learned that there were at least three times the number of pedestrians lurking around him, he still seemed to know nothing on the surface, but the alarm bell had already sounded in his heart.
With so many people gathering at the same time, it is definitely not possible to simply visit the night market or unit building, and there must be other purposes.
In all likelihood, it was because of Kuro Hirata... In other words, Mifune's subordinates have already arrived?
This is not good news for Kazuya, and of course, it is not bad news either.
No matter how strong a samurai's combat power is, there is still a long way to go from the top ninja. With Kazuya's current strength, AOE and single-target blasting are the top characters in the ninja world. , He is not afraid of many warriors.
What Kazuya is really worried about is that once a battle breaks out, Kuro Hirata will take this opportunity to sneak away.
Isn't that a waste of time?
