Creating Navy In Naruto World

Chapter 5: CH5 One Sword Style



The Land of Water has seas on all four sides. Apart from the largest main island, there are islands of various sizes in the surrounding waters. Due to inconvenient transportation, islanders mostly adhere to their own customs and live accordingly.

Kadan Island, located in the Northeast of the Land of Water, is adjacent to the Land of Sea.

Nearly a hundred thousand residents inhabit this island, with most relying on fishing for a living, and their main source of income is trade with the Land of Sea.

For a long time, the renowned warrior family, the Hoshino family, has ruled this island.

However, soon this island is about to change hands.

As the sea wind roars, a three mast ship navigates the sea. The emblem of the Shimizu family flutters in the wind.

In a finely decorated cabin, Shimizu Akihiro sat in the main seat, while Vergo stands silently beside him.

Below, the female rebel shinobi, now bound and treated for injuries, has awakened and was kneeling with a somewhat pale face.

Shimizu Akihiro opens his fan with his right hand, gently fanning himself, looking down at the female rebel ninja and smiling lightly. "What's your name?"

The female rebel ninja lifts her head, looks at the expressionless Vergo, and sighs. "Saku Ryoko."

"Why did you attack us?" Shimizu Akihiro continues to inquire.

Saku Ryoko hesitates for a moment. "I received a mission at the underground black market. The mission was to kill you."

"Underground black market?"

Shimizu Akihiro's hand with the fan pauses, then he closed the fan thoughtfully. The Black Market, if he remembers correctly, is a vast underground organization spread throughout the entire ninja world.

There, various assassination missions targeting leaders of nations and even strong ninja from hidden villages are frequently posted. However, for him, a failed son of a daimyo, even stripped of his main family status, with no name or power, why would someone put a bounty on him in the Black Market?

This doesn't make sense!

A sudden insight flashed in Shimizu Akihiro's mind.

Because he suddenly realized that his existence seems to have indeed affected certain people.

For example, the ruling family of Kadan Island?

"Kadan Island? It seems the next period won't be boring..."

A cold light gradually spreads in Akihiro's eyes, and a cold smile appears at the corner of his mouth.

Then, Shimizu Akihiro shifts his gaze back to Saku Ryoko, picks up the Great Grade Sword Shusui beside him, slowly draws it from the sheath, and without looking back, says, "Vergo, do you know the way of the sword?"

"No," Vergo shakes his head, "I prefer using bamboo or old tree branches as weapons."

"Is that so? What a pity."

Akihiro sighs.

Meanwhile, Shusui has been completely drawn from the sheath.

Putting down the sheath, Shimizu Akihiro stands up, bending his right arm holding the sword upward, and with his left hand from the inside, grasps the lower part of the right arm, assuming a peculiar stance.

"One sword style."

Shimizu Akihiro slightly closes his eyes, his lips about to move.

Then.

In the sudden change of expression on Saku Ryoko below, her eyes suddenly open, and he swiftly swings his right arm, propelled by his left hand.

"Thirty-Six Pound Cannon!"

Swish!

A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly resounds, a white cutting air current spiraling out.

"Wait! Don't kill—"

Boom!

Saku Ryoko's terrified voice is instantly drowned in the huge roar.

"What happened?!"

The huge roar startles the warriors outside the cabin. Led by Kitano Ichiro, three warriors rush into the cabin.

However, when they see the scene in the cabin, each of them is filled with shock.

In front of the main seat, Shimizu Akihiro holds a black-purple long sword, in a swinging posture.

On the wooden cabin wall opposite them, as if bombed heavily, there's a large hole. Outside the hole is an endless sea, and the sea breeze with a fishy smell keeps blowing into the cabin.

And the female rebel ninja they had sent into the cabin earlier is nowhere to be seen.

Kitano Ichiro looks at the slowly sheathing Shimizu Akihiro with shock.

Did His Highness cause all this?

"Ichiro."

At this moment, Shimizu Akihiro had already returned Kushi to its sheath. He turned his head, glanced at Kitano Ichiro, and said, "Prepare a new room."

"Yes... Your Highness!"

Under Shimizu Akihiro's gaze, Kitano Ichiro shivered, immediately regained his composure, and quickly turned, leading three still dazed warriors out of the cabin.

The cabin instantly quieted down, with only the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the hole.

Shimizu Akihiro sighed slightly and placed Shusui aside.

Immediately afterward, he felt a strong sense of fatigue and soreness in his arms.

"Indeed, although I can barely unleash the Thirty-Six Pound Cannon once now, I've basically reached the limit of my body..." Shimizu Akihiro moved his arms, feeling the pain of strained muscles, and smiled helplessly. "It seems I need to start exercising to improve my physique from today."

As for Saku Ryoko?

Shimizu Akihiro never believed that gender could be a reason to spare someone who sought to bring harm.
