Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 555 - 552: The Four Great Sealed Ninja! [Fourth Release]

Chapter 555: Chapter 552: The Four Great Sealed Ninja! [Fourth Release]

The ferocious storm raged wildly around Mount Fuji, with fierce winds and explosive thunder.

Tens of thousands of cherry blossom trees on the mountain were bent and twisted by the gusts. Many buildings with unstable foundations were also completely destroyed.

Major General Yoshio Yamamoto of the 13th Division commanded tens of thousands of soldiers to enact a tight blockade around the holy mountain, preventing Immortal Master Li from escaping under the cover of the stormy night.

However, due to the severe weather, reconnaissance aircraft were unable to take off, so their only option was to rely on manpower for scouting, leaving many soaked through like drowned rats.

Martial Arts Experts like Miyamoto Chuan remained awake, gathered in the main hall, fully prepared for any event.

But at this moment, their concerns were not solely on Immortal Master Li.

Many "people with ambition" had already turned their attention to the future of Japan’s Martial Arts after this great battle.

Japan’s Sword Saint, Miyamoto Musashi, had met a grisly end, and the top masters at Iga Palace had suffered nearly half casualties. Their strength was no longer enough to uphold the banner of being the number one pillar of Japan’s worldly society.

After this war, the entire Japan’s Martial Arts world would undergo a major reshuffle.

By then, who would take over Iga Palace to become the new Martial Arts hegemon and take the reins of Japan’s Martial Arts was a big unknown.

Beichen One-Sword Style, New God Yin One School, Hagai Lineage, Treasure House, Yagyu Shingan-ryu, and Kashima Shinto School—these six schools, along with Iga Palace, were known as the seven pillars of Japan’s Martial Arts, each with considerable strength.

If Iga Palace were to vacate the position of hegemon, they would surely fight to the death for it. If not handled carefully, Japan’s worldly society might plunge back into the chaos akin to the Warring States Era![Note 1]

However, as the apparent Steering Person of Iga Palace, Miyamoto Sakura did not involve herself in these matters.

She merely stood in the pouring rain like a statue, motionless as she gazed at the volcano crater of the Holy Mountain.

At that moment, Huo Wu approached, looking at Miyamoto Sakura in surprise.

"Princess, why are you still standing out here in such a violent storm?"

Miyamoto Sakura did not answer Huo Wu’s question but instead stretched out her fair fingers toward the volcano crater.

"Lord Fire Shadow, don’t you find today’s thunder and lightning rather unusual?"

Huo Wu looked in the direction of Miyamoto Sakura’s pointing finger, and her pupils constricted sharply.

"What’s going on? Why is the lightning striking the Holy Mountain?"

Miyamoto Sakura said, "That’s because there is a lightning device inside the Holy Mountain."

Huo Wu was shocked: "A lightning device?"

Miyamoto Sakura nodded and responded, "Yes, this lightning device was set up by my grandfather. He wanted to harness the power of Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire to break through the Life and Death Shackles. However..." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Huo Wu eagerly asked, "However, what?"

Miyamoto Sakura looked at Huo Wu and said emotionlessly, "However, my grandfather is already dead, and this lightning device, even if it could attract lightning, shouldn’t be as densely concentrated as it is now!"

Upon these words, a shock surged in Huo Wu’s heart.

"Are you saying that the Huaxia monster, Immortal Master Li, is drawing down the Heavenly Thunder to make a breakthrough?"

Miyamoto Sakura did not respond, which was as good as confirming Huo Wu’s suspicion.

In a panic, Huo Wu immediately took out a Yellow Talisman and ignited it with an incantation.

The orange flame flickered eerily in the torrential rain.

"Immortal Master Li is likely inside the Holy Mountain Underground Palace, drawing the Heavenly Thunder for a breakthrough. Hurry here immediately!"

This was a Ninja Divine Talisman, a secretive Secret Manual of the Ninja Family, which could be used to transmit messages through thought.

As soon as the divine talisman’s flames extinguished, a transient figure emerged from the rain.

Immediately, they saw a feminine-looking, fair-faced man, emitting a yielding aura, enter Huo Wu and Miyamoto Sakura’s field of vision.

Seeing this person arrive, Huo Wu was overjoyed.

"Shui Ze, you’re here!"

Shui Ze, one of the Five Great Sealed Ninja, known as the Water Shadow Ninja.

"Sister Huo Wu, what is so urgent that you summoned us here?" asked Shui Ze.

Huo Wu pointed towards the direction of the Underground Palace and reiterated the message that had been sent through voice transmission.

While they were speaking, a dazzling golden figure appeared above the palace amidst thunder and lightning.

Then, they saw a man in golden armor, wielding a Golden Battle Axe, who shrank the ground beneath his feet to approach them swiftly.

Gold Shadow Ninja, Jin Xing!

He stepped forward and asked Huo Wu, "Is Old Five dead?"

Old Five, referred to by Jin Xing, was naturally none other than the Earth Shadow Ninja. Among the Five Great Sealed Ninja, the two of them shared the closest relationship. Even though they weren’t blood brothers, they were closer than actual siblings.

Huo Wu’s face colored with guilt as she answered, "Yes, Earth Shadow was too overconfident and careless. In the Holy Mountain Underground Palace, he was decapitated by a single sword strike from Immortal Master Li!"

With Huo Wu’s confirmation, Jin Xing was infuriated with shame and anger.

"Damn it, Immortal Master Li dares to slaughter my brother. If I don’t kill him, I, Jin Xing, swear I’m not a man!"

During his outrage, he swung his Golden Battle Axe fiercely, cleaving a two-story pavilion in two, terrifying the people inside, who were sleeping, so much that they ran out in a panic without even dressing.

"Gold Shadow, what has infuriated you so much?"

Before the voice faded, a cherry blossom tree appeared to sprout legs and dashed towards them at great speed.

Upon a closer look, this was not a cherry blossom tree, but clearly a person.

Who else could transform themselves into the shadow of a tree but the Mu Ying Ninja, Musheng Liuu?

Jin Xing’s face showed displeasure as he voiced firmly, "Old Two, you’re late!"

Musheng Liuu, true to his name, was tall and slender like a willow tree and had a fair and handsome face, a perfect example of a beautiful man.

He brushed the mud off his clothes and casually replied, "What can I do about the transportation situation in Beihai? You guys know what it’s like. Can you blame me?"

Upon seeing this, Huo Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brothers, now is not the time to talk about this. The Huaxia’s monstrous youth, Immortal Master Li, has within the past three days, slain the Old Sword Master Miyamoto Musashi, and our Ninja Family’s Earth Shadow, while also brutally slaughtering numerous Japanese Warriors!"

"Right now, he’s hiding in the Holy Mountain Underground Palace, and it’s highly possible he’s using the Heavenly Thunder to break through. So no matter what, we must slay him before his breakthrough. Otherwise, if he successfully overcomes the bottleneck, our Japan Martial Arts will likely be plunged into an irrecoverable disaster!"

As she spoke, she pointed emphatically towards the Holy Mountain Volcano, covered in dense lightning.

Jin Xing, Shui Ze, and Musheng Liuu, the three Sealed Ninja, realized the gravity of the situation.

"Let’s go, head to the Holy Mountain Underground Palace, and encircle Immortal Master Li. I refuse to believe that the four of us, Great Sealed Ninja, can’t together slay one youth from Hua Country!"

As soon as their words fell, the Four Great Sealed Ninja marched robustly towards the Holy Mountain Underground Palace.

After hesitating for a moment, Miyamoto Sakura swiftly followed suit.

...

Note 1: The Warring States Era mentioned here refers to the period from the latter stage of Japan’s Muromachi Shogunate to the Azuchi Momoyama Era, roughly equivalent to the Ming Dynasty period in our country, distinct from our Spring and Autumn Warring States period.
