Chapter 393: Kushinada's strength
Dear, oh dear. To think such a thing would happen," sighed Kushinada as she saw all three armed masters losing the fight, "That's enough, children."
'The master is going to move' thought Chikage
Kushinada jumped down right in the middle of Sakaki and Shigure.
"This is fun you are finally willing to fight! I will capture you and present you as a present to the old man" Sakaki said and instantly responded with a jumping kick, which turned to be a feint as he quickly switched to a punch.
However, his punch instantly phased right through Kushinada, much to his surprise. Suddenly, two Kushinadas appeared before the both of them, each carrying the unconscious masters and throwing them in the air.
'What the!? As soon as I hit her, it's an after image.' thought Sakaki and Shigure.
The Armored Axe master, who was still conscious caught the two masters and said "Thank you for the help Kushinada-dono"
"Oh! I remember those after images. It's Mikuchin how have you been"
'He is only realising who she is now' thought Chikage
Despite Sakaki and Shigure attacking the images, they couldn't get a lock on her at all despite their skills.
The Axe Master ran away from there while his disciple carrying the Katana disciple followed him, Kenichi didn't even looked at him as he was watching the fight between Kushinada and the two masters of Ryozanpkau.
Sakaki tried to chase after the Armored Axe master as he made his escape with the remaining disciples, only to be seemingly cornered by three Kushinada. Yet the real one suddenly attacked Shigure, who only just managed to block the attack, though the kick sent her stumbling a bit.
'It's just like the Elder's bunshin technique! She's using her incredible speed and Ki feints to take them both at the same time! It's nothing like my clon technique but it's still good. Even if I move at this speed I won't be able to create a clone like this, maybe it's the way they move!' thought Kenichi as he started to follow Kushinada's leg movement, even though she was moving at incredible speed that even Sakaki and Shigure couldn't see her. Kenichi was able to follow her as he himself was faster than Kushinada when he moved at full strength and though he is currently only 1/4th at power his eyes can follow her.
Since Kenichi started focusing on Kushinada's leg movement he didn't saw the look on the face of a copy of Kushinada staring down at him, looking down at him in interest.
'Is he following my movements. How is it even possible ? Now that I don't have that big bloke in my way, I can get a much better look,' thought Kushinada as she stared down at Kenichi with curiosity. There was just something that was throwing her off when she looked at Kenichi. His age didn't seem to just match what she saw. Chikage may be very mature for her age, but she still displayed tendencies common for her age. Kenichi, however, was an enigma for her, something she wanted to solve. Moreover his strength was absurdly stronger than anyone she has ever known even, Hayato wasn't this strong at his age.
"Sakaki!" shouted Shigure as she attacked the illusion, throwing a dagger at the illusion that was near Kenichi to drive her away.
Sakaki nodded as he suddenly sat down, "We at Ryozanpkau never fight 2 on 1" he said as he caught the hand of Kushinada coming for him which turned into a copy of her making him smirk and say "It's amazing you can make them so real."
Since Sakaki sat down, it allowed Shigure to fight this one alone. Shigure found herself being surrounded by four clones of Kushinada before quickly jumping to safety. Just as she landed though, she found Kushinada already behind her, grabbing her kimono and lifting her up in the air like she was a piece of paper.
Shigure quickly managed to draw her sword and slice at Kushinada's head, only for it to be another illusion. Shigure rolled onto the floor, staring up at her opponent without getting back up, using the ground to protect her back, closing her eyes.
"Hey, Kenichi!" said Chikage, finally piping up while her master was taking care of Shigure, "Let me tell you while you have a chance. Don't delve any deeper in this world. I'm sure you noticed already that the further you go, the more dreadful things you fear will come to pass. And for some reason, I just don't know why, but I don't want you to experience that."
Kenichi shook his head before smiling at Chikage, thankful that this part hadn't changed much other than Chikage calling out to him by his name which showed she was much closer to him than real Kenichi.
"Thanks, but from where I am is a bit different from where you are. That's why I want you to come to my side and see what it's like here."
Those simple words shook Chikage's heart, her usually dull eyes gaining a small shine of wonder as Kenichi extended his hand to her.
Kushinada frowned, slightly distracted at the sudden change from Chikage. The small distraction allowed Shigure to throw her chain at Kushinada's, letting it wrap around her torso. As Shigure raised her blade to cut Kushinada, her eyes narrowed before turning around and cutting directly behind her. A second later revealed that the 'caught' Kushinada was just another illusion while Shigure managed to cut Kushinada's wooden bead necklace as well as a small part of her open white Kimono, revealing just a bit of her red areola, though not cuts.
"Not bad" said Kushinada
"The scent of your beads they smell like sandalwood" explained Shigure while pointing at her nose.
"It's about time so I am leaving" Kushinada said as without the two masters seeing she had already lifted Chikage up to her arms, preparing to jump off the ceiling.
"You fight pretty well. What's your name, girl?" asked Kushinada.
"Kousaka Shigure," replied Shigure.
"I'll be sure to remember that," hummed Kushinada as she jumped off, hopping off various rooftops to escape.
"Maybe I should try and see if I am able to copy her movements and see if I can make clones like that as well. It's a nice way to avoid a fight and help your comrades to get away"
