Chapter 166 Let’s Fight First (Subscribe)
In the simple living room,
When they heard that one commission would be enough for them to eat for most of their lives, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura were obviously moved, and their expressions were full of joy.
But in front of them, Sakata Gintoki, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly calmed down with his flattering face.
His personality is similar to Jiraiya, both of them are usually careless and look like a very unreliable and awkward leader.
But when they are really in danger, he can be serious and give his companions around him a sense of fullness and reliability.
"Who...are you?"
The look in the dead fish's eyes is very deep, full of inquiry, "You seem to know me...us? Do you know where we come from?"
Three questions in a row, each one more difficult to answer than the other.
And standing behind him like a younger brother, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura also realized something and looked at Ryosuke with vigilance.
"Me? My name is Hyuga Ryosuke, from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire."
After watching them calmly for a while, Ryosuke chuckled and cancelled his transformation technique. By the way, he also took out the ninja forehead protector that proved his identity.
When he raised his palm to form a seal, the three people in front of him had already tensed up.
They recognized Ryosuke's identity as a ninja from the moment he closed his palms. Gintoki even picked up the wooden sword on the table and went straight into a state of combat readiness.
In those blood-red eyes, there was a strong concentration.
"Don't be nervous..." Raising his hand to indicate that he had no ill intentions, Ryosuke said gently: "In fact, before the formal commission, I have a small request, which is that I hope you can fight with me." "Of course, it's just a simple competition, not... a life-and-death battle." After a pause, he explained: "I need to consider your strength first, and then I will propose the task I want to entrust according to the actual situation." "But you haven't answered my second and third questions yet." Sakata Gintoki was not fooled, and continued to stare at Ryosuke, "Do you know where we are from? Did you pull us here?" The previous question was no longer a question, but he raised a new question. "Don't say more if you are testing me. I do know where you are from." Ryosuke did not deny this, "But for more detailed information, you need to let me see your strength first before you can tell me." He didn't believe that these people would only be at the level of ordinary Chunin. Even if they didn't have chakra, they wouldn't be so weak. Especially since they met, Ryosuke has been observing the physical condition of the three of them with his white eyes. Among them, the weakest is of course Shimura Shinpachi. Not only is he the weakest among the three in terms of physical strength, but he also cannot compare with the other two in terms of the degree of training.
The second is Kagura.
However, Kagura's physical strength is different from that of Sakata Gintoki and Shimura Shinpachi.
As an alien like Otsutsuki, she, who was born as a night rabbit, does not have the terrifying ability of Otsutsuki, but only has extraordinary strength and recovery ability.
But in Ryosuke's eyes, her degree of training and level are not as good as Gintoki.
But if we look into the bones, meridians, or the tightness of muscle cells, her potential is extremely huge, far exceeding Gintoki.
As for Gintoki...
Ryosuke looked at his messy body and really couldn't make a comment.
Strictly speaking, this guy should have had his limbs amputated because of diabetes and be lying in bed.
Although the combat power of the funny and depressing fan cannot be compared with regular comics, it is a comic, and now Ryosuke is facing an alien from a real world.
So... he didn't look down on them because of Jiraiya's evaluation, nor did he look down on them because of what he observed with his white eyes.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent.
Kagura and Shimura Shinpachi, who were standing behind Gintoki, were a little anxious.
The problem had been made so clear, and it was no longer just about the content of the commission. It was very likely that the person in front of them knew about their origins and how to go back.
But although they were anxious, the Yorozuya team was always centered on Gintoki. He had never agreed to it, and they had no way to make a choice for him.
And Gintoki himself was staring at Ryosuke with his blood-red eyes at this time, without much expression on his face.
Whether it was the number of breathing or the frequency of heartbeat, it was extremely normal, and Ryosuke could not feel any emotional changes at all.
"...If you don't agree, I can also tell other people about this information. I believe many people will be curious about you."
Facing the silent Gintoki, Ryosuke spoke again, "But I can promise that I won't kill you. After all, I still need you to help me complete some commissions."
And this time, Gintoki finally agreed, "I accept this request."
When answering, his expression did not change at all. He was serious and indifferent, which made people feel a little suppressed unconsciously.
"Very good."
But this sense of oppression is of no use to Ryosuke.
A satisfied smile appeared, and his eyes were full of expectations...
Of course, the battlefield will not be the central capital of the Iron Kingdom.
No matter whether it was Ryosuke or Sakata Gintoki, no one wanted to attract too much attention.
First, they left the outer city together and returned to the wild.
Then, Ryosuke took them to an open flat ground they found on the way.
In front of them, there was not even a trace of green vegetation on the barren land, let alone piled up rocks.
There was no shelter to hide, no extra place to escape, and no one would disturb them. This was the best place to fight, allowing people to exert their strength without worries.
Facing Ryosuke's familiarity, as if he had set up a trap for them to step into, Shimura Shinpachi next to him asked with some doubts: "Ryo... Mr. Ryosuke, did you plan to fight with Gin from the beginning?"
"Or..."
Ryosuke just opened his mouth to reply.
In front of him, a sharp blade was coming.
"Stupid, stupid, he doesn't think fighting is a turn-based game, right?"
Then, a crisp and mocking voice sounded, and a red umbrella was waved from another direction.
It turned out that after arriving at the battlefield, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura had unknowingly surrounded Ryosuke from two different directions.
And Shimura Shinpachi's opening was the signal to take action.
"Interesting..."
Ryosuke's expression became a little subtle.
In the past, he always used tactics to calculate others, but he didn't expect that he didn't pay attention just now and let these two little guys take the lead.
However, although the evasion directions on both sides were blocked, Ryosuke didn't intend to dodge at all.
The two people's sudden attack was very fast and abrupt, but it still seemed extremely slow under his white eyes.
Bang——
Dust flew, and there was a huge roar.
Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura were surprised to find that the weapons they held tightly in their hands could not move forward, as if they were blocked by something.
They wanted to pull back, but they were also clamped by a huge force and could not retreat.
"Shinpachi-kun, I saw your thick eyebrows and big eyes before, and I really thought you were an upright person."
A gentle voice sounded from the dust.
When the dust and fog dissipated, Ryosuke's figure was clearly revealed between the two people. Standing in the same place without moving at all, he just stretched out his two palms with a calm expression, and each palm used two fingers to pinch the sharp blade and the tip of the umbrella. "Although I have some reservations, you don't have to suppress yourself." As he said that, he calmly let go of his fingers and let the two people withdraw their weapons. "Because Mr. Ryosuke said that he wanted to test our strength, I attach great importance to fighting with you." After withdrawing his blade and stepping back a few steps, Shimura Shinpachi smiled awkwardly, "Since it is a battle, shouldn't there be some tactics?" "It should be so." Ryosuke did not refute, nor did he think it was a sinister thing. He just said it casually. Originally, he thought this guy would be an old-fashioned person. After all, he is a samurai who has inherited the dojo, and he is still very young. For the spirit of Bushido, he should be very strict. Maybe... after coming to this world, this guy has experienced something. "The opponent is a ninja, so there is no need to hold back." Gintoki, who had not participated in the brief fight, waved his wooden sword slightly, and his dead fish eyes became sharper, "You have been here for so many years, you should know what kind of monsters the ninjas here are." "This is not a role-playing game, and the demon king will not wait for us to level up little by little before appearing." "Yes!" After being verbally warned by Gintoki, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura also restrained their expressions. "Come on." Looking at the three people in front of him who were getting serious with great anticipation, Ryosuke did not refute Gintoki's comparison of himself to the demon king. With his current strength, he is indeed a demon king in this ninja world. Whoosh whoosh whoosh——The sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another. When moving quickly, the robes of the three people rustled under the impact of the airflow. Ding——But unfortunately, their speed and strength still disappointed Ryosuke. Once again, he easily blocked Shimura Shinpachi's long sword, but this time Ryosuke did not choose to hold the blade.
By combining the iron block, finger gun and the change of the nature of earth attribute chakra, he used his fingers instead of the sword to delicately block Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura's attack again.
Ordinary iron block techniques cannot be moved during use, but both Bruno and Ryosuke have found new ways to use it to make up for this defect.
Bruno relies on the inertia of movement and moves like a wheel.
Ryosuke, on the other hand, uses other abilities to make up for this defect.
As for his technique, the eyes of the two people who launched a fierce attack in front of him were obviously incredible.
They seemed unable to believe how a human could compare the strength of his body with the hardness of iron.
Ryosuke did not pay much attention to the reactions of the two.
Although he was dodging the attacks of the two, his attention was always wandering around, on Gintoki who never made a move.
Just now, after seeing his ability, Gintoki did not show any surprise, and looked knowledgeable.
Suddenly, Sakata Gintoki, who was under Ryosuke's attention, disappeared from his sight, moving at a speed several times faster than before.
But soon, as more chakra gathered around his eye sockets, he was exposed to Ryosuke's sight again.
At this time, he had already hidden behind Shimura Shinpachi...
Ding——
The crisp sound of metal collision sounded in an unimaginable way.
Ryosuke used his simple body to bounce off another attack of Shimura Shinpachi, and the next second, the figure in front of him suddenly retreated to the side.
Hidden behind him, Sakata Gintoki had found the right time and rushed forward with a stab, replacing the original position of Shimura Shinpachi.
His eyes flashed red, and his aura and the wooden sword in his hand were completely integrated at an instant. The whole person was like a sharp long sword, showing its edge.
Is this swordsmanship...
Obviously there is no chakra, and obviously no extraordinary physical fitness.
But at this moment, the danger signal sent by Sakata Gintoki's sword made Ryosuke dare not resist in the same way as before.
He changed his fighting rhythm calmly. His body was like a piece of paper, floating to the side with the strong airflow generated by the long sword.
The next moment, he dodged the umbrella bombarded by Kagura in the same way again.
This strange way of dodging caught the three people in front of him off guard.
And Ryosuke, of course, couldn't just defend and dodge all the time.
"If that's all, you've disappointed me a little. Maybe... I should get rid of you here, three invaders from another world."
With a cold voice and a murderous intent, Ryosuke's fingers suddenly stabbed at Kagura's head.
In the instant counterattack, Kagura only had time to raise the umbrella in her hand to resist.
But the next moment, her special metal umbrella was directly pierced by Ryosuke's fingers.
Fortunately, Kagura herself had retreated while the umbrella was resisting.
"Mr. Ryosuke, you..." After all, he was just a young useless samurai. Shimura Shinpachi was a little flustered by Ryosuke's regret, especially after seeing his powerful strength. But the next second, Ryosuke, who had just chatted with them during the battle, approached him at an extremely fast speed with a cold expression and stretched out his terrifying slender fingers. "Get out of the way!" Under the glaring sunlight, Gintoki's pupils contracted, and his body unconsciously took a step forward, stretching out his arm to push away Shimura Shinpachi, who had a dull look. Puff---The sound of blood and flesh stirring sounded, which was very clear in this barren land. Retracting his blood-stained fingers indifferently, Ryosuke easily pierced the guy's arm, and even left two big holes in his hand bones. "A Gin!" "Gin-chan!" The shouts were in unison and urgent. A more violent and powerful knife than before. Next came the umbrella, which was wrapped in huge power and made a roaring sound just by waving it in the air.
Unfortunately, in order to avoid their attack, Ryosuke stayed away from their attack range.
And the white eyes with a faint fluorescent light locked on Shimura Shinpachi who swung the knife and Kagura who was staring at him with the umbrella in her hand.
Just now, Ryosuke's white eyes clearly saw an indescribable energy bursting out of the bodies of the two.
This energy caused their speed and strength to increase rapidly in a short period of time, so that they were able to swing and attack him that he dared not easily block.
Is it a power that only appears with the outburst of emotions? Or... it is a stress response that the body can instinctively make when a companion is in danger and feels that his life is threatened.
Ryosuke is a little unsure about how this power appeared.
It is like Bruno's devil fruit, which makes it difficult for him to understand.
But he needs to observe.
Thinking of this, Ryosuke's eyes are back on Gintoki.
Even though the bones of his arms were pierced, and even though blood was splattering from the two large holes, this guy could still hold his wooden sword tightly, and his grip was tighter than before.
And in Ryosuke's observation, the changes in Gintoki's body were more complicated than those of Kagura and Shimura Shinpachi.
Those body functions that had become somewhat sluggish due to illness and hidden injuries started to work quickly again, and in a more intense way, improving his physical fitness.
This method is like being blessed by chakra, and the various functions of the body are amplified.
But Ryosuke suspected that the power obtained by this method might be overdrawing the vitality of the human body itself, and that the human body would squeeze the vitality in exchange for a short-term improvement after sensing danger.
