Chapter 445: Target Ye Qiu!

Japan.

Last night, a light snow had just fallen, and the air was rife with a piercing chill.

However, this did not hinder Tanigayama Shirou’s training. As the latest leader of the Ninja lineage, Tanigayama Shirou, with his overwhelming strength, had defeated all opponents and claimed the throne of Japan’s most fearsome power.

The cold wind bristled, and Tanigayama Shirou, wearing only a thin layer of single clothing, remained undisturbed, practicing until he lost himself, sitting motionless in the snow. His breath was peculiar, as if it merged with the surrounding world.

The breeze blew through the cherry trees, and the snowflakes accumulated on the branches fell from above Tanigayama Shirou. However, a magical scene soon unfolded: the falling snowflakes did not land on Tanigayama Shirou but instead changed direction above his head, automatically shifting to a spot around one meter away. It seemed as though a force was invisibly emanating from Tanigayama Shirou, repelling the snowflakes.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached, disrupting Tanigayama Shirou’s training, and he opened his eyes.

"Tanigayama-san." The visitor was none other than Fujikawa Ueno, who had now fully recovered from his injuries, had regained his strength, and had come especially to express his gratitude to Tanigayama Shirou for his help.

"What brings Fujikawa-san here?" Tanigayama Shirou had not seen Fujikawa Ueno for some days. Since Fujikawa Ueno had returned from China in a sorry state, he had been silent for quite a while.

"I have come specifically to thank you, Tanigayama-san, for your help back then, and at the same time, congratulations on becoming the leader of the Ninja lineage. From now on, within Japan, aside from that one person, there will be no one who can stand against you," said Fujikawa Ueno.

"My goal is China. Fighting with that person is meaningless."

"Tanigayama-san surely has great ambitions. I wonder, have you heard any news about the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword?" suddenly Fujikawa Ueno changed the subject.

"Oh? You know?"

"Yes." A glint flashed in Fujikawa Ueno’s eyes, and Tanigayama Shirou became slightly more serious, asking, "Have you come here this time because of the Kusanagi Sword?"

Fujikawa Ueno nodded earnestly, pausing before he said, "The earliest rumors about the Kusanagi Sword were in a mining area in Myanmar. At that time, Ozawa Ichiro, who went in search of it, was an old friend of mine; unexpectedly, he would die in a foreign land."

The decapitation of Ozawa Ichiro and his unexplained death within the mine had caused quite a stir in Japan. After all, Ozawa Ichiro was no ordinary man; in Japan’s Martial Arts circle, he wielded considerable influence. With Ozawa Ichiro’s death shrouded in mystery, Japan’s Martial Arts circle was outraged, prompting the Japanese government to pressure Myanmar for a reasonable explanation.

Although the Myanmar government had a fair idea of who the murderer might be, the Chinese government also intervened. Myanmar had always been highly wary of China. As neighbors, even if Japan were powerful, it was still separated by China. Hence, Myanmar was half-hearted about the investigation and did not delve too deeply into the matter.

But Japan was hardly likely to let the matter rest so easily. Even if the Myanmar government did not provide an explanation, Japan would use its own power to uncover the murderer.

It was after Du Hao provided a clue that Japan then discovered that the likely murderer of Ozawa Ichiro was a young man named Ye Qiu.

Tanigayama Shiro, deeply engrossed in his cultivation at the top floor, had just finished a conflict and was in the midst of recuperation. He hadn’t paid much attention to the matter at hand, but when Fujikawa Ueno brought it up again, it immediately piqued his interest.

"Mr. Tanigayama, the death of Ozawa Ichiro was at the hands of that very Ye Qiu who left me in a terrible state. I must go to Hua Xia again, for my own sake, to seek justice for Ozawa Ichiro," Fujikawa Ueno said.

"Ye Qiu?" Tanigayama Shiro had heard this name more than once and now the mere mention from Fujikawa Ueno turned his expression sour, hinting at a deep-seated hatred for Ye Qiu.

"Fujikawa-kun, from what you say, I assume you have news of Ye Qiu."

"Indeed, he has returned to Hua Xia. This time, I am determined to kill him," Fujikawa Ueno said.

What he dreaded wasn’t Ye Qiu, whom he saw as no threat; it was rather the mysterious figure who had intervened before, the legendary master. This time, however, Fujikawa Ueno was confident he could eliminate Ye Qiu because that legendary master wasn’t by his side.

"Regarding Ozawa Ichiro’s death, my suspicion is that he might have discovered the Kusanagi Sword. That despicable Hua Xia person must have ambushed Ozawa Ichiro; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against Ichiro’s strength. My mission this time is not only to kill him but also to retrieve the Kusanagi Sword," Fujikawa Ueno declared with a determined tone, his anger simmering in his eyes, suppressed but ready to erupt in formidable fury.

"The Kusanagi Sword is a divine artifact of our country. If it really has emerged, we cannot allow it to fall into the hands of foreigners. Fujikawa-kun, this matter is of great significance. I will send a master with you. Even if you encounter a legendary realm adversary, you will be able to withstand," Tanigayama Shiro said, much to Fujikawa Ueno’s delight. With such a powerful ally, his upcoming trip was sure to be impervious, smiting both gods and Buddhas along the way.

"Thank you, Mr. Tanigayama," Fujikawa Ueno expressed his gratitude with a bow.

"You and I have been friends for many years. I don’t wish to see you end up like Ozawa Ichiro, dying in a foreign land. Hua Xia is, after all, a vast country with its own martial tradition. Without having broken through the legendary realm, you are indeed facing much danger."

"Kawano Yase, you will accompany Fujikawa-kun to Hua Xia." As Tanigayama Shiro uttered this name, Fujikawa Ueno was taken aback, feeling both surprised and pleased. Kawano Yase was Tanigayama Shiro’s direct disciple and among the younger generation in Japan’s martial arts circle, he stood out as one of the most brilliant figures.

To say the least, even Fujikawa Ueno himself wasn’t confident he could defeat Kawano Yase, whose strength was beginning to surpass that of the older generation of martial artists.

As Tanigayama Shiro finished speaking, a young man appeared out of nowhere, with a puff of white smoke trailing behind him, prompting Fujikawa Ueno to sigh in admiration. The way of the ninja was completely unpredictable and overwhelmingly powerful, which made them the class of adversary he least wanted to face.

The young man before him was not old, but to be ranked as the top among the younger ninja was a testament to the exceptional nature of his skills in the ninja arts.

"Good, with Kawano Yase’s assistance, that Ye Qiu definitely won’t be able to escape. This time, I want to see if he will still be lucky enough to have someone rescue him."

Fujikawa Ueno sneered. Of course, he was aware of the stir that Ye Qiu had caused in the West, but he didn’t believe that Ye Qiu had the ability to kill top martial artists like Bai Xiong Ju Lu. In his mind, it must have been that mysterious legendary realm master who intervened, allowing Ye Qiu to escape calamity. In terms of real strength, Ye Qiu was merely a somewhat exceptional martial newcomer. Fujikawa Ueno was confident that without the legendary realm master’s interference, he could easily slay Ye Qiu.

"This time, I won’t flee in disarray. Ye Qiu, wait for me to come and kill you!" Fujikawa Ueno said coldly.
