Shikari Gakure, Monoke Gakure, and Rikezi are walking in a straight path. They're walking in a brick path and a post lights every side of them every meter.
"It's going down hmm I can't believe this place it's been a long time since I see this kind of thing that is exposed outside," Rikezi said.
"I think like is the most talkative of us," Monoke Gakure said. "Huh!?" Rikezi said as they looked in front of them and their eyes are widen.
They stopped for a moment seeing the kingdom in the distance surrounded by water and a lot of ships sailing around.
"There's a whole castle in the middle what?!" Rikezi said in a surprising tone. Suddenly there's a knight attacked them with more knights surrounding them. Shikari Gakure pulled out his sword and swing towards the sword of the knight that coming towards him, he cut the knight's sword making him kneel and unhold his sword.
"Hold it right there! Swords are not prohibited!" The knight said that one of the groups as more hundreds of knights comes in and surround them.
"I don't they know the Swordsman's Era yet or even the other nations, I guess this is the only way to talk to their leaders or they have the king," Rikezi said as he looked at Shikari Gakure pulled back his sword holding it there.
Suddenly there's a horse comes in and the knights give ways. They see a woman riding a horse with a crown on her head.
"Who are you, people? It's been a long time since I got visitors," the woman said. "This is maybe a predicament, a woman, a queen?" Rikezi said as he whisper.
Monoke Gakure steps in and talks to the woman. "My name is Monoke Gakure this is Shikari Gakure and Rikezi," Monoke Gakure said as he bowed and they all 3 knelt to give respect.
"I'm the Queen, this is the Kingdom of heaven, somewhere in Far Northwest, now speak to me why are you here at my kingdom's property?" The Queen asked.
Rikezi looked at Monoke Gakure turning at him slightly so he doesn't get a notice from the Queen.
"We're from the east, Shira's Swordsmans from the east, we're here to check the kingdom or yours," Shikari Gakure said as he stand up and the knights looks at him menacingly as they removed their helmets.
"That's why! We wonder why you are strong because you're a Shira Swordsman nice to meet you," the Queen said as he smiles at Shikari Gakure who remains serious.
"Come on it's almost night, we gotta head back to the kingdom before it's night," the Queen said as Monoke Gakure and Rikezi stood up as the knights stayed looking at them.
She turned around her horse and the knights moves around to give more space for the queen.
"My name is Queen Regina, you can call me Queen, Knights! Ready to close the gateway!" Queen Regina said as Shikari Gakure, Monoke Gakure, and Rikezi followed behind her.
The knights follow them from behind as knights look at their surroundings also Shikari Gakure Monoke Gakure and Rikezi.
"The forest is always dense tonight so if you have assassins they should come out," Queen Regina said as she ride the horse going towards a pathway towards the inside of the kingdom.
"We're not expecting any assassin today," Rikezi said. "Shikari Gakure looks like Rikezi is inexperienced," Monoke Gakure said as Shikari Gakure facepalm.
Rikezi accelerated his walk and punched Monoke Gakure who was unmoved and continued walking.
They reached the walking pathway. The queen gets off her horse and one of the knights gets her horse. They walk in a completely impact wooded path towards the kingdom.
There are big walls around the kingdom with knights guarding on the top of the wall. The Gate is opened by the guards inside. The gate is fully metal.
"Wow! Look at the river, this wooden path is amazing, but down there is dangerous, I don't wanna fall there," Rikezi said as he looks to the side of the wooden path that they were walking. There are sides are a lot of water surrounding the kingdom, the waters are moving quickly.
They reached the gate that is opened. The queen is leading their way. "Do you have a King? Queen Regina?" Rikezi asked as he sees Queen Regina ignore him.
Monoke Gakure looked at him and sees the knights behind him looking at him. Suddenly there's a sword comes in flying towards the Queen.
Rikezi quickly pulled out his sword and goes behind the Queen. He changes the course of the sword.
"Looks like we've got company, the Dark Swordsmans are here," Monoke Gakure said as he turns around and sees the Dark Swordsmens in the dense forest in the far distance.
"Rikezi?" Shikari Gakure asked as he looked at Rikezi who is stunned. Shikari Gakure quickly runs towards Rikezi who got stabbed by the Queen in the back.
Queen Regina quickly removes the knife that she stabbed in the back of Queen Regina.
"Surround them! Their traitors to our Kingdom!" Queen Regina said furiously. Rikezi dropped down dead.
"Rikezi!!!" Shikari Gakure shouts furiously and reached towards Rikezi who is bleeding on the ground. The queen steps in on the Gate.
The knights are on the ground but Monoke Gakure and Shikari Gakure are on the wooden floor with river water moving below them.
"Tsk! Rikezi!" Shikari Gakure shouts again furiously as he knelt to Rikezi and touches his back that still bleeding.
"You will pay!!" Shikari Gakure shouts at the Queen who is inside the Kingdom laughing. Monoke Gakure pulled out his sword and sees the knights are removing something in the distance.
"We need to get out of here, we have nothing to with it, we're was not expecting this," Monoke Gakure said as he holds his sword hardly.
Shikari Gakure stands up furiously releasing Dark Aura behind him showing it to the Queen who suddenly sits down on the ground when she sees Shikari Gakure looking at her furiously.
"We will get Rikezi and come back in this Kingdom to kill them all," Monoke Gakure said as Shikari Gakure pick up Rikezi's dead body but before he pick up Rikezi the platform he's currently standing broke and they fall to the river.
"Tsk..!" Shikari Gakure said as he looked at the Queen who is looking at him as he falls in the river.
They fall in the river water with Rikezi's dead body that still bleeding.
In the east, inside the heads underground facility. The heads of the west and east are talking.
"The circumstances are far more dangerous we can't let them go in!" Leo said as he tap the table hard.
"The Glacians can't fight they can only show and tell us hope, they can say to us what are the other nations are up to and there's more!" Leo said furiously in the conversation.
"The Date Æ has started we're done here, heads of the West Kingston be careful at the village," Shimodo Rou said.
"This is ridiculous," Professor Dinger said at his table. "Professor it's the sake of the people and for the next generation, we need to risk, a whole army is enough to defend the village with more other Shira's that will join," Shimodo Rou said.
"What would you do if any of those Shira's didn't join, what if they didn't show themselves what if Shikari Gakure is on the other part of the West or far northwest what would you? And he doesn't know what's happening he trusted you to protect the village Rou!" Professor Dinger said as he walks towards Shimodo Rou.
"Generals you can leave we're gonna talk about these in another day first stay on guard on those gates and make sure no one gets in," Shimodo Rou said as the Generals slowly leave the room one by one.
"One day the swordsmans will fall under the hands of one leader because of his leadership but that will change if you think wisely," Leo said as he leaves the room. He walked to the door that was currently opened by the Generals that leave.
"Shimodo Rou you need to take a break, for now, think carefully of the decisions you have us," Professor Dinger said as he walks to the side of the table.
The 5 Greats are in the West coming in the front gate. "Hmm, there's a lot of swordsmen guarding here..." Katrina said as she stop and sees many dead bodies getting carried by other swordsmens.
"Like the heads say stay on guard as they ordered as for," Agatsuma Hit said as he tap Katrina and walks back outside.
"Hey you must be, the Five Greats, nice to meet you all Five, I'm one of the Special swordsmens of the west, our work is to destroy the one who destroyed us and..." The special swordsmen said as he stop and sees Himura Kiri coming to his side.
"This is Kevin the Special swordsmen of the west, I'm Himura Kiri one of the Shira's in the village, as you see everything in here is destroyed, and also Shikari Gakure, Monoke Gakure, and Rikezi are going to the far northwest you should go there because we got here under control," Himura Kiri said in confident.
"Are you sure because we just got here and everything is destroyed, I sense more dead inside... I'm sorry for the loss of your people," Stuyuri Shi said as Himura Kiri nodded at him.
"We're fine that now we're here, other more Shira's are going towards Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure, and I got a messenger bird that they found the area of my army that died," Himura Kiri said as he lowered his head down.
"What!? So there's more!?" Hashibira Kosuke said in a surprising voice. "Yes but I don't remember anything that happened, there's something in there that you must check but I'm not coming back there for now without my papers again," Himura Kiri said in an angry voice.
"Okay, Let's move were going to the Far Northwest," Himura Kiri said as they all Five walked each other.
"The northwest is a completely different place the Shira's..." Kevin said as he got scared.
"Rikezi I hope he's safe," Himura Kiri said as he lowered his head down.
In the Far South. Gakushin Gakure reached the far south with another ship. "Gakushin Gakure I think we're gonna float this ship and you might need to swim or we just gonna connect this to the other ship back," Karl said as he sees the people waving at them.
"Connect it to the ship so that you captains can leave and easily come back," Gakushin Gakure said as Captain Edward Smith on their sides.
"I thought Edward Smith you'd be sleeping on your bed tonight," Karl said as he hard control the ship.
"Yeah but I wanna see the new continent that I've been dreaming for years to see," Edward Smith said as Karl manages to connect the Ship to its back and dropped the anchor.
"This ship has an automatic anchor so we should be fine," Karl said as he clicks a button in one of the buttons inside the Ship, and the anchor falls to the bottom making the ship not move.
Gakushin Gakure quickly goes outside and Edward Smith. "They're here, that takes them a long time... We should help them, or should they just swim," Miki said.
"Imagine it's another Bunshin of Gakushin Gakure," the other swordsman said as both Miki and Trixie got stunned.
"I'll leave them just there hehe!" The swordsman said as he quickly leaves and goes towards Gakushin Gakure and Edward Smith who were aboard the stuck Ship.
They can see a girl in the distance holding a sword with her. "Gakushin Gakure is someone with you?" Miki asked.
"Yes it's Fudo Toka, will talk about it later because of the heads," Gakushin Gakure answered as he walked by past him.
Fudo Toka aboard the next Ship and Karl aboard as the Ship stops its engine. "The Ship that we bring was a special we can go back to the south whenever we want but it will take time, we have reserve oil whenever we traveled," Karl said as he hops on the other Ship.
They all go down to the Ship and see the beautiful field and the moon is glowing in the sky.
"Miki is it all clear here?" Gakushin Gakure asked as he sees Miki quickly comes over to him.
"Yes, we travel some of the forests but only some of it at least only a meter something like that," Miki answered.
Trixie is walking around in the land where water is near her. "Try lying down on the ground I know you might be tired because of the travel and only both of us can hear each other there are no more other people," Miki said as he looks around and sees people minding their own business.
"We fought some unknown swordsman in the middle of the ocean special suits with them, we throw the three in the water that we caught," Gakushin Gakure said as he lay down on the floor and look at the sky.
"This is a peaceful place on all earth, and I think the swordsman that you said we never encounter one, I think because there's many of us," Miki said.
"If that's the thing we would need to relocate the Ships or still stay on guard for any intruders," Gakushin Gakure said.
"Look a shooting Star!!" Miki said as he shouts and the people look at the sky seeing a light source quickly going out of sight.
"It's been a long time since I see a shooting star it's been a while since I have peace," Gakushin Gakure said as he smiles and breathes heavily and smells the glance on the forest and nature.
Edward Smith knelt on the ground as he slowly lay down on the ground and stretches and falls asleep.
In the Far Northwest. Shikari Gakure is so wet and carrying Rikezi's dead body with Monoke Gakure on his side. He taps Shikari Gakure who is now in rage mode.
"We're just gonna kill them all as nothing happened," Monoke Gakure said.
"Looks like you need an allied," an unknown voice in the forest said as Monoke Gakure quickly pulled out his sword.
Shikari Gakure put down Rikezi's dead body on the ground and knelt and prayed before standing up again.
"Show yourself!" Monoke Gakure shouts and suddenly he turns around and sees a girl with a Scythe on her back and with 2 men in the forest standing.
"We can make a plan, to assassinate the Queen and take over the city, we're allied with her," the girl said.
"Hmm, she's making fool with us we should end her," Monoke Gakure said as Shikari Gakure quickly stops him using his hand putting it in front of her.
Shikari Gakure walks by past Rikezi body walking towards the girl. "My name is Ria Koruwe," the girl said is name is Ria Koruwe. Suddenly Shikari Gakure quickly stops as he hears Koruwe.
"You know me Shikari Gakure! The day we met they call you glitch, by that power of yours but I acknowledge your power," Ria Koruwe said.
"We're not gonna allied with you, your kingdom has far worst than this, but we will end that kingdom for good!" Shikari Gakure said as he walks back towards Rikezi's dead body.
"Monoke Gakure let's go, let's bury him for now in a peaceful place, that's his last wish that he told me when we met," Shikari Gakure said as he carries Rikezi's dead body again and both of them vanishes.
"Hmm, what a man!" Ria Koruwe said as she walks back into the forest. "Shikari Gakure the swordsman of the east, I believe he's the legend of the..." Ria Koruwe said as she vanishes not completing her sentence.
"We could end them in some different ways," Monoke Gakure said. "We're killing them all I don't care even a Shira gets in our way there all dying!" Shikari Gakure said ss they stopped in a Dark place in the forest.
"We will bury him here and seal magic on his body so no one will return him from being Undead or Dark," Shikari Gakure said as he knelt.
"I will mark my teleportation in this place the special teleportation so I can come back he will not be lonely," Shikari Gakure said knelt and put down Rikezi.
"Shikari Gakure... We should or I should just tell them what happened to the west," Monoke Gakure said as he sees Shikari Gakure nod at him as he knelt on the ground.
He picks up Rikezi once again and puts him on the ground next to a tree in front of him. He put down Rikezi and someone attacked but Shikari Gakure quickly pointed his hands to the attacker and sees that it was a Dark mob.
The Dark mob flew a meters away when he pointed his hands towards the Dark mob.
Monoke Gakure stopped in a place where it's peaceful. Suddenly he shouts. "Ahhhh!!!" Monoke Gakure shouts ang falls to the ground and kneel angry.
The birds flew as he shouts. As he finished shouting the forest becomes peaceful again. Shikari Gakure is kneeling in front of Rikezi's dead body. He looked at the sky and stands up as he sees Rikezi body, he slowly tears out.
Monoke Gakure who knelt on the ground slowly tears out as he stands up and slowly walks.
Suddenly the windblown in both of them. The trees and the leaves move to the left as the wind blow.
Shikari Gakure slowly uses a technique on him, he activates it as he sees Rikezi's dead body. The body slowly eats by the ground and a tomb slowly rises as the tree marked it.
Shikari Gakure touches the tree with his left hand and puts a teleportation mark on the tree.
"I'll remember you, my friend," Shikari Gakure said as he knelt again on the ground. He quickly stands up, and slowly walks towards the kingdom place.
