Rebirth Of The Mightiest Disciple (Reboot)

Chapter 389: Akabanetou

"How did this guy survive with his intelligence?" Kenichi couldn't help but ask seeing the way Tsuji was training.

"Dumb luck maybe?" replied Niijima

During the training session Inspector Honmaki and his partner came by to visit as well as ask advice.

Sakaki took them to a different room where all the masters sat and listened to him. While the disciples were given some time to rest.

It was about Akabanetou, Japanese swords gathered by the Weapon Supply Camp Base of the U.S. forces 8th division, were being stolen, and the likely suspects were Yami, or more specifically the armed division of Yami, though there seemed to be one unarmed assailant within the group. Seeing as they couldn't risk Yami growing in power, Ryozanpkau as a whole decided to intervene.

"So are we going to intervene?" asked Takeda as he slid open the gate letting the masters see that other than Kenichi everyone was listening to their conversation.

"No," replied Akisame with a serious face, "This mission is far too risky for you all. We allowed you to get away with DFOD because you were invited, as well as a few underground society missions, but this time, the risks are too great."

"Ba, this is a good training trip for my disciple!" coughed Shiba, hopping into the conversation "I usually don't care about shit like this, but this will be beneficial for my disciple. I will help you for once and I will bring my disciple with me just to watch"

"That's a good idea. I will bring my daughter and my disciple with me to let them watch" Shizuha stated.

Saeko stared at her sister and Rukia understood what she wanted and couldn't help but sigh in frustration, but in the end she accepted that Saeko will go either way so this way she could at least protect her and said "I will also help and bring my sister with me"

"Then I will follow Papa" said Renka as she looked at Kensei who couldn't say no, knowing that it won't end in a good way if he said anything else and only nodded his head.

Seeing where this was going the masters discussed how to play this while Kenichi continued to lay down in a corner.

"This is gonna go well" Kenichi said as he walked into the museum beside Shigure and Sakaki.

Based on Akisame's calculation, their location had a 65% chance of being hit. The other masters of Ryozanpkau were at other locations, defending their assigned location. Unkita was with Akisame as he was also his disciple so Akisame allowed him to follow him to let him see how to deal with armed fighters with his jujitsu. James Shiba took Takeda to another museum to protect. Miu and Natasha were with Shizuha at another location. Saeko with her sister in another and Renka with his father in another. The others of Shinpaku Alliance were left on standby, as they didn't have any masters to protect them if needed. Kaname was tempted to call her grandfather to be her chaperone her for the trip but decided against it.

"Though I am not sure we should have brought all the kids along. We should have at least made sure they kept themselves hidden." Kenichi added to which Sakaki nodded his head as well

"Like a mother hen!" pointed out Shigure with a small laugh, causing Kenichi to stop in his tracks as instead of Sakaki he was being called the mother hen.

Though before he could say anything, Shigure approached him leaning forward and looking up at Kenichi's face.

"I suppose..... it's a good thing though. For if or when... we have kids"

Kenichi's mind stopped as he let the words sink in.

"EEEEHHHHHH" shouted Sakaki in surprise while Kenichi was struck in silence.

Suddenly a sword descended towards Sakaki, intent on cleaving his head off his neck. Sakaki, though however shocked he was, was prepared and immediately countered, quickly flipping himself to dodge the sword while kicking back at his opponent.

"They're here!" shouted Sakaki.

"Already fighting them," replied Shigure as she clashed blades against the Kukuri master.

The two fighters of Ryozanpaku pushed their respective opponents away, allowing them to land from a distance before regrouping with an Armored Axe master.

"So, these are the members of Ryozanpaku? A warning, you shouldn't stick your necks into things that don't involve you at all," declared the armored axe master.

"Kenichi, protect the swords" ordered Sakaki before engaging Yami.

Sakaki fought against the Katana master while Shigure dealt with the Kukuri master. However that left Kenichi to deal with the Armored Axe master. Kenichi ducked under a swing of the Axe as he lashed out with a punch forcing the Armored Axe master to use the handle of the Axe to block the punch but the swing had enough strength to push him backwards. Though that's what the Armored Axe master wanted as right behind him was the sword he came for and he hurriedly broke the glass cover and took the sword before dodging a kick from Kenichi.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and in came Kii Kagero.

"Oooh female swordswoman! Please give me back my beloved Setsunmaru!" cried out Kagero.

"Wait, Kii Kagero," said the Armored Axe master as he held out the sword he had just stolen, "This is one of the best of the Akabanetou that we have liberated for Yami. There are many in the organization who want this. However, since Kushinada-dono wishes it, in these special circumstances, we will grant you ownership of this blade."

Before he could properly pass the blade, Kenichi kicked it out of his hands, forcing it to spin into the wall. Sadly, before Kenichi could reach it, Kagero had already taken the blade out from the wall just as Kushinada walked into the room with Chikage in tow.

"Ooh, this is quite bad. Am I supposed to fight four people from Yami at once?" taunted Sakaki as he parried an axe blow.

Meanwhile, Shigure and the Kukuri master were exchanging blows when Shigure suddenly overpowered her, slashing her opponent's shirt into pieces as well as part of her pants. Before the Kukuri master could do anything, the fight between Kenichi and the Armored Axe master suddenly exploded right between the two. While Sakaki was overpowering the Katana master.

While they fought, Kagero, and Kushinada easily followed the fight, though Kushinada kept track of Kenichi's fight against the Armored Axe master. It is one thing to fight against an unarmed master but it's another to fight against an armed master when you have recently entered the master class. This clearly showed how talented Kenichi was and how much of a threat he could become for Yami in the future. Though even if that was true Kushinada won't deal with Kenichi as he was a motivator for her disciple and it was clearly showing as not only Chikage is well on her way to enter expert class but the disciples of other masters were improving as well especially Tirawit and Sho Kano.

"What is the condition of the Akabanetou? Can you use it?"
