Middle of the night. An army of dark mobs and undead with the Dark Shira's are marching towards the East village in the middle of the dense forest as Shira Swordsmans remained in the shadows hiding their presence.
The finest swordsmans that is remaining outside are all heavily wounded in the dense forest but getting protected now by the Shira's of the village in the shadows as they fought some of the darks that remain in the far distance of the dense forest.
Hiroshi Gakure reached the front gate of the village east as he looked around him that is covering him and around him a dense fog as he sees in the distance as he walks out in the dense forest an Unknown Swordsman standing in the middle of the gate.
"That man... It can't be..!" Hiroshi Gakure said in a surprising voice as his eyes are widen as he sees the swordsman has an earring and a hat covering his face as he looked down and a sword and a masked hanging in his sword.
Hiroshi Gakure turns serious as he walks towards the Unknown Swordsman who is blocking his way towards the front of the village as the fog becomes denser.
The Unknown Swordsman begins to walk towards Hiroshi Gakure who stops and looked at the Unknown Swordsman who is looking down as he slowly reaches for his hat.
"You must be one of the masters, Hiroshi Gakure... Fukeshin Gakure tells us to meet with you and have a talk, let's get this in personal... Where are the other masters? Tell them that the village needs them once and for all, that's all the message that Fukeshin Gakure wants to say to you," the Unkown Swordsman said as he stopped in front of Hiroshi Gakure who stop too.
"What has happened to him? I don't have any contact with the other masters, but I will try, but they will come as they sense in the wind that something strange is happening, they will quickly gather their students and defend or fight for the village," Hiroshi Gakure said in a serious voice as he looked a Hiroshi Gakure who has his left eye inside glowing but it's normal glowing, unlike Shikari Gakure's color white.
"You really are one of the masters, let's get inside and talk to a better place somewhere inside you're village," the Unknown Swordsman said as Hiroshi Gakure smiled at him. The Unknown Swordsman turned around and walk back to the village as Hiroshi Gakure followed him.
"The world will have its better days once again once these walls are gone," Hiroshi Gakure said. "You're right, once your village walls are gone and defeated the darks the world can be greater again not only these places there will be more," the Unknown Swordsman said as they both continued to walk.
The guards opened the gate as Hiroshi Gakure and the Unknown Swordsman walked into the village seeing the fifth army and Chief Makurin is nowhere to be found except for the sergeants of the fourth and fifth. The guards quickly close the gate.
They both turned to the left towards the other part of the village where to the left are the walls of the village that is greater than a castle. Hiroshi Gakure and the Unknown Swordsman are quiet as they reached a quiet and peaceful place with a big tree to their right. They both stop.
"This is probably the perfect place," the Unknown Swordsman said as he turns around behind him. Seeing Hiroshi Gakure who stands in front of him. The unknown Swordsman is taller than Hiroshi Gakure. The Unknown Swordsman reaches for his hat slowly removed it from his head.
He slowly removed it as he put it on his left side hanging. Hiroshi Gakure sees the Unknown Swordsman has a scar on his left forehead. "What's up with you? What do you seek?" Hiroshi Gakure asked.
"I seek for peace and a better world, I've been traveling all around the world and sees in myself everything around me is a complete opposite compared to my prosperous village, that's why I seek for peace and a better world," the Unknown Swordsmen answer.
"Well don't lose your point of life keep it up and you're head, I will make sure to reach the messages to the other masters, and now let's get to the point," Hiroshi Gakure said as he looked at the Unknown Swordsman.
"Before that, I need to ask you something... For a master what do you seek?" The Unknown Swordsman asked as he sees Hiroshi Gakure smiling at him as he slowly pulled out his sword and show it to the unknown Swordsman.
"I seek and fight for a better world and the peace of my village I'm ready to sacrifice myself for the village even though if I die alone," Hiroshi Gakure answered as he lowered his head down smiling.
"I don't fight for my village, I fight in the others who live outside the walls... But all I get and see are many suffering loss of life and many other more," the Unknown Swordsman as he sees Hiroshi Gakure pulling back his sword.
"What do you know about our village?" Hiroshi Gakure asked as he looked at the Unknown Swordsman who is touching his scar. "Nothing, we just got here, Fukeshin Gakure didn't give us any details because he didn't think that we can make it this far," the Unknown Swordsman answered.
"Fukeshin Gakure, we consider him a hero because he did so much for us when we helped him because our village was still suffering so much then," the Unknown Swordsman said as he exhale and inhale.
"What happened to him when he got there?" Hiroshi Gakure asked as the Unknown Swordsman looked at him in the eyes. "We helped him survive, we found him in the middle of a dense cave and water flowing inside the dense cave, he's also heavily wounded," the Unknown Swordsman answered.
"Heavily wounded, I wonder what kind of creatures he fought, or what kind of human he fight against," Hiroshi Gakure said. "You don't wanna know, we fought gigantic creatures and defend for our village, this creature is deadly and devoured more than thousands of our men's, but then he comes in and swing his sword only once and manage to defeated it," the Unknown Swordsman said.
"He's far more powerful than the powerful swordsmans than we thought, but we manage to become powerful as him through all this year's," the Unknown Swordsman said as he becomes serious and suddenly the wind blows strangely at them.
"We're done talking I'm going back to the front of the gate, I'll meet you there if you finished doing something on your own," the Unknown Swordsman said as he begins to walk walking by past Hiroshi Gakure who becomes deadly serious as the wind blows strangely.
"Remember that all around you see in the village or outside of it and far around the north, east, west, and south is full of mysteries that you're people will cant understand once you see it," Hiroshi Gakure said as he begins to walks and turned to his right.
The unknown swordsman stopped for a second and was curious about what Hiroshi Gakure said as he began to walk the front gate of the village as the guards opened the gate to make a way for the Unknown Swordsman. He stands up straight and on guard and becomes deadly serious as he shows his fire aura around him. The fog becomes denser in the east around the dense forest and outside of the village.
In the west. The five greats are outside of the village and once again completed and not losing any members. Ria Koruwe is approaching behind them from inside the village as they don't notice her.
Ria Koruwe is with Himura Kiri who is also walking with her from behind as they walk towards the five greats who are outside the village guarding as the other Shira's remained in the shadows in the middle of the night.
"I guess this night is gonna be something huh?" Katrina said as she asked Agatsuma Hit in the left side of her. Agatsuma Hit remained silent as he looked towards the dense forest in front of him
"The third and fourth got wiped out the fifth can barely stand, we need to protect this village at all cost," Agatsuma Hit answered differently as they heard the gate open behind them. "Ria Koruwe..." Hashibira Kosuke said as he turned around.
"We have Himura Kiti, where's Teramoto Judikishi?" Stuyuri Shi asked as Ria Koruwe stopped and Himura Kiri walked by past her as Ria Koruwe looked at behind Agatsuma Hit the dense forest is having a fog.
"It will be dangerous anytime by now, that fog is thinner in the northeast," Ria Koruwe said as Agatsuma Hit laugh. "Haha! Indeed but this fog is probably covering the whole east by now, this fog is thinner," Agatsuma Hit said as he stop laughing and looked at Ria Koruwe.
"He's somewhere inside the village having something to drink and to eat he hasn't eaten in a while because he doesn't have any money lately," Himura Kiri answered as Stuyuri Shi and Himura Kiri looked at each other. The others remained silent.
"He's been wandering outside that's why he needed to do his job as a Shira but how he can do that if he doesn't get any salary from the heads for quite a while," Stuyuri Shi said as he looked at Himura Kiri who looked to the left.
"The heads are having a problem with that but they have enough and more than money to do supply all the lost," Himura Kiri said as suddenly the dense forest the west becomes denser than usual as the dense forest with the fog becomes one becoming a dense fog and a dense forest.
"We need to be on guard and stay alert we will hide in the shadows for now around the village," Himura Kiri said as the five greats and Ria Koruwe nodded as they all seven vanished in a blink of an eye. The Shira Swordsmens of the west are in the shadows of the dense forest hiding their presence as they keep hidden around the village in the dense forest in the big trees around it.
Ria Koruwe is in the middle of the dense forest with Hashibira Kosuke and Hashibira Komoto on guard in the shadows as Ria Koruwe leaned on the tree behind her as she pulled out her scythe from her back and stabbed in the ground as she eats her circled rice that she was carrying.
Hashibira Komoto and Hashibira Kosuke stayed in the shadows around in the middle of the dense forest of the west as they were on guard and had their swords glowing and more Shira's with them in the shadows.
On the left side of the dense forest of the west. Agatsuma Hit and Katrina are on the left side of the dense forest as they're with more the other Shira's and finest swordsmans hiding in the shadows and the big trees on top.
Agatsuma Hit pulled out his sword and sat down on the ground as Katrina remained standing as Agatsuma Hit is on the floor behind her sitting down.
On the right side of the dense forest of the west. Himura Kiri and Stuyuri Shi just arrived on the right side of the dense forest as the moon is in the sky in the middle of the night.
"I will go to the shadows and you will probably turn into a paper the other Shira's will be hidden until the enemies arrived," Stuyuri Shi said as he vanished in the shadows and becomes hidden.
Himura Kiri's body slowly turned into per as all of those papers flew up to the sky towards the big trees and big tree branches around the west dense forest on the right side of it as the wind blows making the paper fly even faster in the air.
In the front gate of the east. The unknown Swordsmen are sensing unknown auras around the dense forest in the dense fog in the front of the village as the Shira's is nowhere to be found.
The Unknown Swordsman slowly reached out for his hat and slowly removed it from his head as he let go of it and falls to the ground. He grabbed his mask on the left side of him that is hanging and put it on his face covering it as an army of darks started walking out in the dense forest as two Shira's appeared on the left and right side of the Unknown Swordsman to help him.
The Unknown Swordsmen pulled out his sword that is have red stains on it and with a red handle. He holds his sword as he sees a Dark Shira Swordsmen signaling to the army behind him to stop.
The Unknown Swordsman slowly walks toward them as Chief Makurin watches on top of the wall with the other guards as the fifth army watches the Unknown Swordsman walk towards the Darks as the soldiers get worried.
The Shira Swordsmen that appeared around him slowly walked with him as they both pulled out their glowing swords and suddenly a masked appeared in their faces and covered it. The Shira's slowly becoming faster and faster as they both run past the Unknown Swordsman charging right at the Dark mobs and the Dark Shira Swordsmen with another Dark Swordsmen.
A familiar swordsman is walking out in the dense forest as Chief Makurin's eyes widen as the Shira Swordsmen quickly stop and go back to the sides of the Unknown Swordsman as he stops the same.
"What's the matter?" The Unknown Swordsman asked the Shira Swordsman who fall back and goes to the side of him and stops. "That swordsmen are with us I can't believe he got controlled by these darks!" The Shira Swordsmen answered on the left side of the Unknown Swordsman.
A sorcerer is walking out of the village with Fukushima Gakure on his side. "So looks like he loses his mind, Gakushin Gakure would be so upset when he sees he's only student turned into a dark Swordsmen," a girl's voice said who is the sorcerer as the Shira Swordsmen and the Unknown Swordsman turned around and sees a girl with a cape and a hood covering her with Fukushima Gakure behind her.
"I will take care of Shin, Fukushima Gakure clears the way like the heads ordered to you," the sorcerer said as she walks towards the three in front of her.
Fukushima Gakure flew past her as he flew towards the dark mobs and dark Shira Swordsmens as he flew by past the Unknown Swordsmen and the two Shira Swordsmen who quickly followed him from behind as they flew towards the darks and more behind the darks showing an army behind them. Hundreds more are walking out in the dense forest as the dense forest has more dark mobs and undeads.
"What do you think you're doing Unknown Swordsman?" The sorcerer asked as she walked by past the Unknown Swordsman. The Unknown Swordsman stands up straight as he suddenly vanished and now he's in front of the three Swordsman who flew.
The Unknown Swordsman swing his sword once and made a shock wave making the dark mobs fly a meters away as the dark swordsmens and dark Shira managed to withstand it.
The sorcerer is stunned as she slowly prepares to cast a spell as she pointed her two hands towards the three-four swordsmans that charge towards the darks as another Shira Swordsman appeared behind the Sorcerer protecting her.
Fukushima Gakure swings his sword in front of three dark mobs beheading them. The dark mobs slowly turn into dust as they leave a dark spot on the ground as the other more dark mobs charged at him.
The dark swordsmen and the Shira Swordsmen are fighting left and right as the ground there fighting on slowly cracking and their swords collided making a great impact and small shockwave on the ground. They both flew back as the Unknown Swordsmen flew towards the dense forest holding his red sword as he suddenly uses an unknown technique making his sword flame in a mythic color burning the darks into dust.
The fight goes on as the sorcerer puts a barrier around the four as Dark Shin is slowly walking towards the sorcerer. Shin is looking at the sorcerer menacingly as she puts a shield around her as the Shira Swordsmen behind her slowly show themselves and walk towards Shin as Shin strokes his sword menacingly.
The sorcerer quickly steps back as she sees Shin is completely unchangeable as she sees the dark aura behind him that is currently covering him preventing him to turn back himself.
"Tsk.!! Step back when you can't handle him, he's completely different than others, they might do something big to him unlike the others, I'm closing him in once I'm done, give me some time," the Sorcerer said as the Shira Swordsmen turns around and nodded. He quickly turned around and sees Shin vanish in front of him and suddenly a foot appeared in front of him and he got kicked in the face making him fly away.
He slammed to the ground destroying the ground hard as the Shira Swordsmen spit out blood he quickly stand up as he feels the pain that he got from that kicked and from that slammed on the ground.
He pulled out his sword and step in his left feet making a crack on the ground and flew towards Shin and kicking him back in the face. Shin flew back onto the dense forest as the dense fog vanished because of the kicked that he got. The other dark mob charged at them as they decapitated them as they flew towards them. The Shira Swordsmen stay on his ground as he waits for Shin to come out in the dense forest.
