Chapter 655: Madara Shinden: The Legend of Kusanagi Blade
Madara eats his breakfast while silently listening to the discussion and rumor of the surrounding people. He pays close attention to the discussion of the shinobi groups.
After an hour, Madara departs the tavern after gathering enough information. He walks through the streets of the commercial district of the village, purchasing supplies and sorting out the information he just overheard.
'Looks like my speculation is correct. The shinobis of the Land of Earth are uniting under the banner of the Kamizuru clan. Their purpose is unclear to others, but this group is amassing a large number of weapons, armor, and other war supplies.' Madara wonders.
'What could be their purpose? Could it be?' Madara narrow his eyes.
'Then there is also the matter of civil war in the Land of Water. Various forces are entangled with each other, making the situation more chaotic than usual. So much so that even merchants and traders are being constantly attacked and plundered.'
Hmm...
Suddenly, Madara's eyes narrow. He feels a murderous intention locked onto him.
Madara keeps walking forward. He glances at a dark corner from the corner of his eyes. His lips curl slightly.
'A group of mischievous rats!'
Whoosh...
In the next instant, Madara disappears from their vision.
AH...
The group of shinobis hiding in the dark corner suddenly frowns.
"Where is the target?"
They look at each other and attempt to search Madara's trail.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, Madara's voice echoes in their ear above their head.
They raise their heads and notice Madara standing on the roof of a nearby house. Madara folds his hands and calmly glances at this group of ragtag bunches.
He senses their chakra signature and doesn't find any significantly powerful opponents.
"So, a group of wild thugs! But they seem to have lots of innocent blood on their hands."
Swish...
According to the rumor, the Sōgen clan possesses a powerful sword called the 'Kusanagi blade'. This blade is also infamously known as the 'Grass-cutter blade' in the Land of Grass.
The legend comes from the tale of an unknown shinobi. The unknown shinobi wielded the blade to single-handedly cut down an entire foreign invading army.
Rivers of blood flowed from the massacre, and the surrounding land was painted red from the bloodbath. The infamous place where the battle took place is called the Kama Plain. The forest surrounding the plane is called the red forest because of the blood-red leaves of the surrounding tree.
After that legendary battle, the Kusanagi blade came into possession of the Sōgen clan and was passed down as an heirloom. Not much is known about the Kusanagi blade since it didn't appear after that battle. It's said that the Kusanagi blade can extend its reach endlessly to strike the enemy down, no matter the distance.
Madara reaches the rendezvous point and meets with the other members of his clans. He summarizes his encounters and listens to the rest of them. After a few minutes, the remaining members also arrive and the group sets off.
After traveling non-stop for an entire day, the group finally reaches the border of the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.
Madara glances at the bottomless ravine, separating the prosperous land of grass from the rocky terrain of the Land of the Earth. The distant Ishiyama mountain range stands tall, separating the two countries from each other.
"Let's rest here for the night and we will cross the mountain range tomorrow!"
Madara glances at his slightly exhausted group and gives orders. The exhausted group relaxes slightly and takes out their rations and chakra pills to recover their stamina and strength.
As for food, some dry rations and beef jerky are enough nutrition, to recover lost energy. After filling their stomach, Madara signals Ekizo to scout the surrounding area again.
After half an hour, Ekizo returns with a few wild fruits and berries.
Madara hears his report while he distributes the fruits to other Uchiha clan members.
"Very well, take some rest while I keep a lookout!"
Whoosh...
The group quickly disperses and conceals themselves in the forest to hide and sleep. Madara also carves a hole in a hollow tree and conceals himself.
With such a small group, sleeping in the open is akin to inviting disaster and unknown enemies. Lighting a fire is equivalent to shining a beacon on this dark night.
The members of the group take turns to sleep and keep a lookout.
