Chapter 972: , Sensing Between the Strong

This pair of swordsmen, who were among the best in the Ninja World today, finally completed an unknown contest in the form of an aura duel.

The final result ended in a complete victory for Hanzo of the Salamander.

"Hoo."

After Mifune stood firm, he exhaled heavily.

He didn't expect that after many years, although he was no longer the unknown person he used to be, and had made great progress in strength, he was still not Hanzo's opponent.

Obviously, he was not the only one who had made progress over the years.

Hanzo of the Salamander had also long since gone from being the Rain Ninja leader who was not famous back then to becoming the world-renowned Demigod of the Ninja World.

For Mifune, who wanted to wash away his shame, his mood was naturally a bit low at this moment.

The duel and probing between the two stopped at the right point; as leaders of their respective countries, the two naturally knew the control of the scale.

"So it was you..."

Finally, it was Hanzo of the Salamander who spoke first, breaking the silent atmosphere between the two.

Obviously, Hanzo had recognized that the samurai who had just challenged him was the unknown samurai he had let go of by a slip of thought back then.

Only at this time, Hanzo had already judged from the other party's pomp and aura that the former unknown samurai had probably become the head of the Land of Iron today.

"It is me."

"Lord Hanzo, after many years, I didn't expect to meet again in the Land of Iron."

Mifune responded, telling words that only the two of them could understand.

To this, Hanzo just nodded and then stopped speaking, but the flash of appreciation in his eyes did not escape Mifune's eyes.

Seeing this, Mifune's expression was a bit complex.

It was hard for him to say clearly what kind of emotion he had for Hanzo at this moment.

To say he didn't hate him would naturally be a lie.

But to say he didn't have a little gratitude and respect would also be impossible.

After all, if it weren't for Hanzo's mercy back then, he would have already turned into dry bones in the grave.

And this time meeting again, Mifune had the idea of taking the opportunity to wash away his shame and let Hanzo look at him with new eyes.

Just didn't expect that this time, it was still Hanzo of the Salamander who occupied the upper hand with an overwhelming advantage.

But now, seeing that Hanzo did not take advantage of the victory to make things difficult for him, but instead showed relief, it was naturally normal for Mifune's heart to be full of complexity.

Finally, Mifune gathered his thoughts, threw all the messy emotions to the back of his mind, then respectfully bowed to Hanzo, and made a "please" gesture.

"Lord Hanzo, everything has been arranged properly, but some members participating in the gathering have not yet arrived, please come with me."

Mifune naturally knew the importance of this time, and told Hanzo about the current situation concisely.

To this, Hanzo just nodded indifferently, as if everything was within his expectations.

Thus, under Mifune's leadership, Hanzo of the Salamander entered the core hinterland of the Land of Samurai.

At the same time.

In the town, in a room that was atmospheric, clean, and impeccable inside.

A burly man with light yellow long hair and a majestic face was standing by the window, looking at the snow scene outside the window.

Behind him, a young man with the same hair color, also burly, but with short hair, stood silently behind him.

If anyone from the Land of Lightning saw these two, they would definitely be shocked and show a look of reverence, because these two were none other than the Raikage father and son of the Cloud Village.

"Bee, a strong person has come."

Suddenly, the Third Raikage did not turn his head, but spoke directly to his son behind him.

"Can you feel the exact identity of the other party?"

Hearing this, Bee asked his father with a serious face.

The Third Raikage slowly shook his head; when strength reached the level of the Third Raikage, unless the other party deliberately hid it, as long as they were within a certain distance, both sides would vaguely sense each other's aura.

A subtle induction generated when the auras of "Super Kage-level" powerhouses rub against each other.

And this ability was not a detection radar, and it was far from being so divine that one could know exactly who the other party was from far away.

However, even so, it was enough to explain the problem.

This powerhouse suddenly came here, and there was only one purpose, which was to be summoned by that Mizukage.

And as the Raikage father and son were the first to arrive among the many forces, their attitude was naturally self-evident.

Regarding Mizunuki Ryosuke's plan, they were undoubtedly the most direct supporters.

The Third Raikage's eyes were serious; he knew the significance of what Mizunuki Ryosuke was going to do, so although he didn't know the identity of this Super Kage-level powerhouse, the Third Raikage still intended to go and meet the other party to probe the other party's bottom line.

"Bee, come out with me."

Thus, the Third Raikage turned around and walked toward the door.

Seeing this, Bee also roughly guessed his father's thoughts, so he just nodded and followed behind the Third Raikage.

When Mifune led Hanzo of the Salamander into the town, Hanzo's body trembled imperceptibly, and then a flash of coldness crossed his eyes.

For a moment, Hanzo's thoughts were thousands of miles away, as if he understood something.

"Has someone already come a step ahead?"

He suddenly asked Mifune in front, his expression carrying a bit of inexplicable meaning.

Hearing this, Mifune hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth.

"It is the Third Raikage of the Cloud."

This was not because of the old friendship between the two, but because Hanzo of the Salamander would see the other party sooner or later, and it was no big deal for him to reveal some wind.

Hanzo of the Salamander nodded, indicating that he already understood.

Seeing this situation, Mifune did not say much.

A moment later, Mifune brought Hanzo to the post house where he was temporarily placed, but who would have thought that at this time, two figures, one old and one young, like iron towers, had been waiting here for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 974 =====
