Uchiha's Blade

Ever since Mana left the world of Ghost Slayer, Teriya has been always ready.

Now that he is going to go with Mana, apart from saying goodbye to Mrs. Tianyin, he doesn't have much preparation to do, even the luggage is packed early in the morning.

Tokito Muichiro was more relaxed.

After Wu's tragic death, everyone was assigned to different jobs. The pillars felt that the responsibilities on their shoulders in peacetime were much heavier than before.

Naturally, Shitou Muichiro also went.

After all, he is the youngest among the pillars.

During the nearly one year since Mana left, Tokito Muichiro has been studying at school, living in a uniformly allocated dormitory, and the main source of income is to work part-time as the school's swordsmanship coach while studying, and the retirement pension given to him by Yuya Miyayashiki gold.

Therefore, he lived in the dormitory of the school before. His life was very simple, and his personal belongings were few. At this time, he packed up quickly. He only needed to hand over the matter of the fencing instructor.

Yes, although it is a peaceful time, Wisteria Academy still retains swordsmanship courses.

After all, it is not easy to organize large-scale gun use training at this time, but Chennai judges that the current international situation and the domestic situation are not very peaceful, and there is a great possibility that there will be another war in the future. In the chaotic era, there is armed protection It's better to be yourself than nothing.

And none of the people who had received gun training before was let go, and they all found ways to arrange them in the various industries under the Ghost Killing Squad. When needed, they could pull out a team of horses to equip them at any time.

If there is a difference, it is probably that the previous swordsmanship course was compulsory, but the current swordsmanship course is optional.

After a brief exchange with everyone, Mana held a special meeting with Yoya Ubuyashiki, and Shinobu Butterfly, Nezuko and Mr. Ryotaki also participated in the meeting.

In this small meeting, Mana roughly revealed a little about the future development: "I have made a judgment before, saying that the future world will not maintain stability and peace for a long time, and it is true. The new world I went to this time is in terms of time. , it is probably how the world has developed decades backwards, so I can now say with certainty that World War II will break out in the future, and this country will also become one of the main participating countries. From this point of view, I suggest that the Ghost Killing Squad be transferred, and the main target will be in the United States for the past 50 years, and in the next 50 years... you can consider returning, but I recommend going to China."

Mr. Ryotaki said: "Miss Mana, if this country is also involved in the war, then as citizens, is it inappropriate for us to act like this?"

This is a relatively mild question. If it is not gentle enough, it should probably be said that what is it to be a deserter when the country is in trouble!

Chennai had expected this for a long time, she took out some documents from the Gouyu seal and said: "This is what I found out, the actions of this country during World War II, are you sure you want to stay and support such a war?"

To be honest, when I saw this document for the first time, even though I was already shocked once, Mana was inevitably shocked a second time when I accepted the memory.

At this time, several people who participated in the meeting showed even worse reactions than Mana had before.

"how come……"

"Manna, is this true?"

Nana was silent about this.

She knew that everyone didn't really want an answer, they just couldn't help denying it, or in disbelief.

To be honest, she couldn't help but have the 'is this real' reaction at first.

Because it has completely exceeded the scope of war, and many have even exceeded the bottom line of human civilization, even if it is called a devil, it is indescribable.

After a long silence, Yuya Ubuyashiki said dryly: "If this is really the case, we should stop it after we know..."

"Teacher Yaozai," Mana said, "Do you really think this is feasible?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki remained silent.

Even he understands that if a change is to be made, it must involve everything from the emperor down to the soldiers and all related personnel. Compared with it, it is easier to subvert the country directly.

Mana made everyone calm down before continuing: "That's why I chose the United States. During the Second World War, the American mainland was hardly affected by too many wars. There is a better development environment there. Most importantly, If you want to do the right thing, staying here is totally unacceptable."

If the few people in the Ghost Killing Squad were in a state of war, the entire Fujisan Mountain would be gone with an artillery battalion.

"I understand."

Putting aside the illusion of whitewashing and tearing apart the naked reality, Yoya Ubuyashiki has to admit that if they want to try their best to do something righteous, then the only way to go is to leave.

At least then they can choose to support the Allies, or make more efforts.

Staying here is hopeless.

After confirming this point, Yoya Ubuyashiki finally understood why some things that Mana asked him to do when he first came back seemed a little inexplicable at the time.

Mana breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words of Yuya Miyayashiki: "Since everyone agrees, let's do this next."

Mr. Ryotaki did not speak.

It wasn't that he disagreed, he was just different from the others present.

Others have more or less higher affection and trust for Mana, but Mr. Ryodaki is different, he doesn't get along with Mana much, and the relationship can only be said to be mediocre.

Therefore, he could feel the coldness in Mana's eyes when he said the previous words more keenly than others.

This made him couldn't help thinking, if they didn't choose to go to the United States, but stubbornly wanted to stay, or even 'dedicate their loyalty to the country', what would Mana do?

This question was answered after the meeting.

When there were only Mana and Mr. Rinaki on the road, Mana took the initiative to say: "Please don't worry, I won't choose to kill everyone, at most I just erase your memory with illusion."

Mr. Ryotaki: "... Do children think so much now?"

Mana smiled and said, "I'm different, I'm going to be a child of Hokage."

Ubuyashiki Yoya is a young man who looks thin and gentle, but once he has made a decision, he is absolutely sloppy in his actions.

When Mana took Teriyaki Teriya and Muichiro Tokito to leave the next day, Yaoya Ubuyashiki was already preparing to write a plan.

Mana certainly feels much more at ease that someone as reliable as Yuya Shiki Yoya can entrust her.

As for how to take Teriya and Tokito Muichiro away, Mana felt that it was too risky to directly use the usual method of flying thunder god.

In fact, the more convenient and safer option is... to put people into the mirror world first.

Then wait until another world, just let the person out again.

This time, Mana deliberately perceives the process of time travel more seriously, hoping to find a way to slightly influence time.

...At least don't wear it for decades.

But when she started to act, she found that going back was completely different from when she came back. The power from the slate in her body was like a traction thread, guiding her to the most definite point.

Following the power of the Dresden slate, when Mana reappeared in the room, the clock on the wall was less than half a minute past her departure.

At the same time, what she felt was a strong joy and joy.

"This is... a slate?"

Mana frowned slightly.

Obviously, it was Slate who pointed the way back for her, and after she came back, she showed such obvious joy.

This abnormal situation is impossible even if Mana wants to ignore it.

Or, from the very beginning, she felt that all this was too strange.

The slate actively rejected the colorless king of the previous generation, and then quickly chose her to become the new colorless king. Even though it was a slate that seemed to have no thought, this kind of action itself already had clear purpose.

Mana also thought that the stone board had no thoughts before, and it may take a long time to figure out this problem.

but now……

"I think I have to go to the Pillar Tower again."

Thinking of this, Mana said to Teriya and Tokito Muichiro: "I have something to go out, if you want... I will leave a shadow first. Let's take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."

The apartment that Yuanyue sold is still very high-end, Hui Lizai looked at the surrounding environment, in his era, even the rich and powerful could hardly live in such a house, right?

And you can see from the window that they are in a very high place now, how tall is this building?

Can ordinary people's houses be built like this now?

But Hui Lizai is not an ordinary person. Before he came, he knew that this world was nearly a hundred years away from his own time, and he was prepared for any unexpected situation.

After leaving a shadow at home, Mana rushed all the way to the Pillar Pagoda. She came in a hurry this time, which made the rabbits think that something terrible happened to her. When Mana said that she wanted to see the golden Wang, take her in immediately.

...Although there is nothing wrong with it, if the colorless king comes to chat with the gold king, the gold king will not be able to drive him away.

Walking into the Imperial Pillar Pagoda, the closer Mana gets to the stone slab, the more she can feel the joyful emotions conveyed by the slate.

Therefore, the first thing she said when she saw Dajue on Guochang Road was: "Is the slate okay?"

Dajue on Guochang Road was unclear, so he said, "What? Did you get any news?"

Mana raised her hand: "I have a... very wonderful feeling, the power transmitted from the stone slab, with a feeling of 'very happy'."

This description of Guochang Lu Dajue is also very surprising: "Happy? Are you referring to some kind of emotion?"

Mana nodded: "I left for a while before and came back later, this is the feeling of Shiban, it seems to say 'Welcome back' to me."

Dajue Guochang Road thought for a while and said: "I haven't noticed any changes in the stone slab recently. No, it seems that there are indeed some differences. Compared with before, his power is better controlled."

Since the slate was brought to this country, it has been kept by Guochang Lu Dajue. This is not only because Guochang Lu Dajue is the one who brought the slate, but also because he is currently the strongest king. This powerful, foolproof posture suppresses the power of the slate, keeping the number of outsiders affected by the slate at a low level.

The power of the slate has always been active, but sometimes it is more active, and sometimes it is less active.

Recently, the power of the slate has entered a relatively stable state again. Guochang Lu Dajue thought this was just another cycle.

But... according to what Mana said, it seems that there are indeed traces to follow.

This time, the quiet period of the slate's power happened precisely after Chennai became the colorless queen.

Now that I think about it, it is not unreasonable to say that these two things are related.

Dajue on Guochang Road frowned tightly, but finally said: "Then, come with me, seeing the stone slab with your own eyes may be useful."

For decades, the stone slabs have been kept between the stone slabs under the imperial pillar tower.

Mana followed him and asked, "Aren't you worried about what I will do? What if I lie to you?"

Guochang Lu Dajue snorted: "Then I will kill you here!"

When he said this, he was so confident and domineering that people couldn't help but praise him as the king of gold.

Mana blinked: "No, it's not that you are confident that you can kill me, but... you have seen through me completely."

Guochang Lu Dajue's eyes revealed a bit of pride: "Of course, young people should not underestimate the old man too much. After all, after living for so many years, it will never be in vain."

Mana puffed up her face: "The old man will be hated by the young people!"

This made her think that maybe it was intentional that Guochang Lu Dajue had so readily agreed to give her part of the property, and even agreed to the conditions of heavy industry without caring.

Seeing her frustrated appearance, Guochang Lu Dajue has rarely been complacent for decades, but he is originally a majestic and calm character, and he will not show it at this time.

While speaking, they had reached between the thrones, and Mana saw the Dresden Stones for the first time with her own eyes.

The tablet itself, which gives the Seven Kings great power, is surprisingly unpretentious.

From the outside, the color is no different from ordinary gray rocks, but there are wonderful patterns on the surface of the stone, and the size is not very domineering, about the size of six tatami mats.

"Is this the Dresden Stone?"

Guochang Lu Dajue said, "Why, feel disappointed?"

"No," Mana slowly took a few steps forward: "That feeling...is indeed from the slate."

After saying this, she simply sat on the ground in an unladylike manner: "Do you mind if I study it here?"

Guochang Lu Dajue sat down opposite her in the same free and easy posture: "Please go ahead."

Mana raised her eyebrows, then closed her eyes regardless of Guochang Lu Dajue, and began to enter the state of preparation for immortal mode.

In this state, she can almost become one with the surrounding environment, and her perception and sensitivity are multiplied.

When the red spots emerged from Mana's face, even Guochang Lu Dajue couldn't help but let out a gasp.

This was a state he had never seen before, but he didn't say much, but continued to watch quietly.

Chennai's is another feeling.

In the state of fairy mode, she could have sensed the existence of natural energy, but this time, in addition to the natural energy floating in the surrounding environment, in her perception there was also a region as bright as the sun, where it was as bright as day.

That's where the slate is.

Then, in her conscious world, there appeared an indistinguishable male and female image of a young man with silver-white hair, who looked about the same age as Mana, but had a completely different demeanor from ordinary children.

"slate?"

A smile appeared on the child's face: "It's me, nice to meet you."

Although she had guessed before, Mana was still surprised when the other party admitted it: "So, the Dresden Slate has its own will?"

Shi Ban said: "It can't be said like this. I don't have the complex thinking of human beings. Mine was born out of people's hopes and desires, and became the embodiment of this power."

Mana nodded casually: "I'll talk about that later, what's going on with you...?"

The white-haired boy walked up to her lightly, and rested his head gently on her shoulder: "I like you, you have an aura similar to mine, but it is older, and you are a loving elder."

Mana did not push away the slate, but continued: "I don't understand, please explain in more detail."

She is not from this world at all, how could she have an aura similar to that of a slate?

Slate's tone was clever: "It seems that you still don't understand, you are not human at all."

Mana: "...???"

Why is it suddenly not human!

Probably because her bewildered expression was too funny, Shi Ban did indeed laugh.

"Haven't you noticed? There is only a small part of you that belongs to humans, and more than half of it comes from a power similar to mine. You can call it some kind of eternal will, while the other half comes from another A thing... a species, a species I've never seen before."

Mana: "...I really feel weird when you say that."

"You are very strange," Shi Ban said, "Haven't you ever thought about why there are so many people in your world, and you are the only one who accidentally crossed over to another world? Whether it is Sharingan or space-time ninjutsu, they all You are not alone, so why is it you?"

Mana really didn't think about this question before, she always thought it was just an accident.

"So, it wasn't an accident?"

"of course not."

Slate explained: "The power in you that is similar to mine belongs to the original power of the world. Although it is well hidden, I can smell it. This power makes you a special part of the world. The power of other people and the world is a completely different thing, so they will be trapped inside the world, but you have a part of the same source with the world, so you can easily fall out of the world compared to other people."

Mana: "So, I'm really not human? But I clearly—"

I obviously have parents.

I just haven't seen them...

This sentence was on the tip of Mana's tongue, but half a word could not come out.

Yes, everything about her parents was told to her, she never met them or spent time with them.

Even Madara-sama only mentioned her father, never her mother.

Slate held out his hand to her: "Hey, I really like you, if you are willing to give yourself to me and be with me, this world is your home."

Mana's wavering was only for a moment, and she quickly strengthened her determination: "No, I want to go back, I must go back."

Shi Ban showed reluctance in his eyes: "Don't you like this place? What's wrong with this world? With the power of the king, you can live happily and do whatever you want, but if you go back, there will be bad things." happened."

"Bad things?"

"Well, it's just... Hey, I don't know, but the power in you is a gentle and loving elder, but he is also very sad. Sadness is a bad emotion, right? Humans don't like sadness .”

Shi Ban thought about it and didn't know what to say, so he could only emphasize again: "If you are in a bad mood, don't go back."

Mana shook her head: "Thank you, but I can't give up and go back. If I must go back, do you know what I should do?"

Shi Ban was unhappy for a while before he said sullenly: "You just need to activate that power, and she will guide you back, just like I guide you back this time, but that power will suppress you Very good, even if it can guide you, I am afraid it will not be very accurate, you have to be careful."

"Thank you."

"Hey, think about it again, go back on your word, I won't laugh at you!"

He looks more like a real kid than Mana.

Mana patted his head, unexpectedly feeling a soft touch: "I'm sorry."

So Shi Ban snorted, turned his back and ignored her.

The pure white world in Mana's perception is also fading rapidly.

She opened her eyes again, and what she saw was Guochang Lu Dajue's bright and sharp eyes: "Have you got the answer?"

"Part of the answer," Mana corrected him, "I saw the slate."

"See?"

Sure enough, Guochang Lu Dajue grasped this point very keenly.

Mana hummed: "It's probably something like a mental body or a conscious body, whatever you want to call it, it's probably like this..."

She omitted the part of the information given by the slate that Dajue Guochang Road didn't need to know.

"...In short, the child regards me as some kind of elder."

Guochang Road Dajue frowned: "Is that so? I understand. I will look for more information on this later."

Mana waved to him: "Then I'm going back?"

Guochang Road Dajue nodded absently: "Go slowly."

When Mana went back, her shadow was eating with Teriya and Tokito Muichiro.

The delicacies carefully prepared by the chefs of Totsuki are luxurious tastes that could never be tasted in the Taisho era.

Seeing her come back, Hui Lizai asked, "Has the problem been solved?"

"Yeah!" Knowing the way to go home, Mana nodded in a good mood: "Many things have clues!"

Hui Lizai said, "The person in green clothes sent a letter while you were away."

Although Mana is equipped with what is called a mobile phone in this era, but she is not yet proficient in operating it, Munakata Reji simply wrote her a letter.

Mana picked up the letter on the table and looked at it: "Oh, he is asking me for help."

Munakata Reisi tried to communicate with Zhou Fangzun, Zhou Fangzun himself didn't care about being engraved with the mark of Flying Thunder God at all, and his attitude was very casual.

But Barbara expressed quite fierce opposition.

Munakata Reisi said that there has been a lot of competition between the Qingwang clan and the Chiwang clan in recent years, and the mutual trust may not be enough. If possible, please ask Mana to talk to Zhou Fangzun again and persuade the Barbara people.

Mana handed the letter to Teriya and said, "Isn't this a trivial matter? I'm good at communicating with people!"

Teriya: "No, this..."

Your confidence is completely groundless!

But it's hard to say it too directly.

Huilizai thought for a while and said, "Can you take me with you then? Since I want to help you, I really should know more about these things."

Mana nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that you can go to Scepter4 and get your household registration done."

After saying this, she became happy again.

"Keriya, Muichiro, let's choose a school!"

Holding a stack of information about the surrounding schools, Mana said to the two of them, "Let's talk about Huilizai first, I think Didan Elementary School looks very good."

Hui Lizai said: "You decide."

"Oh, let's talk about Muichiro. Although Teidan Elementary School also has a junior high school, since Teriya went to Teidan Elementary School, Muichiro should change to another school."

"Youth Academy or Sarayashiki Middle School?"

Shi Tou Wuichiro said: "It doesn't matter where I go, it's up to you to decide."

Mana hooked him up to Youth Academy.

"Then, since I have elementary school and junior high school, I'll go to high school. To be honest, let you go to high school. That grade worries me a lot."

She doesn't worry about her appearance, she has a transformation technique to use.

"For high school... Okay, PK Academy!"

'Snapped'

Mana raised her head abruptly, only to see that the window glass of her house was broken, and the wind from outside was blowing in.

Mana blinked, she lived on the highest floor, she couldn't be broken by someone.

Besides, who can escape her perception? Even if there is such a person, such a strong person, he wouldn't sneak around just to smash a piece of glass on her, right?

and so……

"...Isn't it the wind that blows?"

Suddenly, the wind outside suddenly picked up.

Mana: "..."

Although it's unscientific to think about it,... it might really be the wind. "
