"Looks like we've met again... Kage Rigakure, long time no see, it's good to see you again, these Hashira's that are with me know you pretty well, what have you been doing?" Kataku Sukure inquired, his eyes serious. He notices him and looks back at the Hashiras. "For me, bravery won't get you anywhere unless you have experience, and sheesh, there's so many of you! Countless Shira's and Hashira's joining the party! What a surprise!" Kage Rigakure responded in a surprisingly pleased tone as the three in front of him stopped and glared at him. "You won't scare us like that, Kage Rigakure! You were once a traitor! You betrayed that legendary swordsman! Now, we don't trust you, or the only three of us!" Kataku Sukure said in a menacing voice. Everyone in the underground land looks at him with disbelief. They began murmuring as some of them remained silent and solemn. A number of them were enraged and furious since betrayal is the sole word that might lead to a Hashira's death. "You have my word... And yes, I betrayed him, but not humanity this time. He will come back... But as a soul of a newborn human... That soul can be split or can stick into one. I'm the last of his men. Now I won't let it die here, Kataku Sukure... The Man Behind Mirishi Kutaki, a real Myth living to date, sure took you a while to recognize yourself," Kage Rigakure said, as that made all of the Shiras shiver. When they heard him speak, the Shiras all shivered. The Hashiras were just standing there, yet several of them were shivering. Fukeshin Gakure appeared suddenly to the side of Kiroshuku. He was on his right side, away from the Hashiras and Shiras. Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure maintained their calmness and lowered their heads. They were so serious as their eyes couldn't be seen due to their lengthy hair. "In that era, you have some difficulties and losses. You lose more than just your wife, you're behind a giant tree that was at least seven hundred feet tall and it's thick. I don't even believe in the first place that this land existed. We can't even explain how mind-blowing it is. If this were ever written in history, what do you think they'd write? There were a bunch of massive trees and giant vines around this land! It was a huge piece of land! It has crops, and the crops are large! What are your thoughts on that narration, Kage Rigakure? It's not the best, but at least he tried to express himself, some people don't even try," Kataku Sukure stated sarcastically, his eyes enlarged and enraged as he glared at Kage Rigakure. "What are you trying to point out then, Kataku Sukure?... Just straight to the point already! You're wasting time... And who are those two Hashiras that are behind you?... What do you think of them?" Kage Rigakure asked as he glare menacingly. A couple of seconds is past and he was completely unfazed. "I'm trying to point out that you already knew since you were born, that you forgot this day! You can hold a sword even though you're just a child, and you can swing that sword as you swing it before. Now tell me, are you one of the swordsmen who got reincarnated in the Myth Era? There was a fairy tail that led me to the Legends Era, and it was also a Swordsman's Era with Legends. You won't believe these legends... Actually ended an era, a war, and a multiverseal conflict!" Kataku Sukure stated, and every Shira and Hashira looked at him when they heard multiversal dispute. The air was thick where they were talking. It looked like Hashiras was about to clash. They were quiet, yet the air wasn't the same as the ground they were standing on. The two Hashiras who were behind Kataku Sukure are utterly unfazed and half of their bodies remain unfazed, demonstrating how terrifying they are. "He's more dangerous than us, he's a Shadow Guard Hashira, no one has ever or even survived fighting and betraying one," a Hashira whispered to Kataku Sukure. It was the one on his right, behind him. He spoke into his right ear. "Stop whispering, would yah?... Just say everything you have to say. Every man has his reason. It can be bad, it can be good, it can be meaningful, or it can be meaningless. I've seen the worst Era's. I was here, and three Era's have been made in just 65 years. A lot of Shiras are hearing this and I'm pretty sure they have no ideas. Even if this is written as history, they will all have no idea about what happened to the past Hashira's, to the past Legendary Swordsmans ever born. If it's a fantasy, it could be worse. If it's Dark Fantasy, it's much worse, and I'm one of them. I should've wished I was in a Dark Fantasy so I could die young, but I don't think I am, I'm more than just dangerous, I enjoy being alone, but that doesn't make me dangerous, I'm just a beast hiding in the shadows alone in the corner guarding a hidden area, a beast is a dangerous, yeah... But a beast will not harm anyone even if that thing or living thing gets in his way, but if you destroy his kinds of things, kill or hurt someone he loves, or even if it's a friend, it will hunt you down for the rest of your life," Kage Rigakure said menacingly as he stared into Kataku Sukure's eyes. "The Hashira and Shira! Will all be teleported by me! Kiroshuku Hakure! A former master and a former Shira, all you should know is that everything on the surface is most likely dead. They were all killed and three Hashira's of the north are remaining. They are not here to join us, they are fighting above us on the surface with more unknown masters like Rengoku. In Kage Rigakure information, masters have fled with unknown children, probably they're their students. We have backups that will arrive by morning and they are the Legend's Behind the Masks. They were called legends for a reason... I just have no idea why they aren't teleporting yet!" Kiroshuku Hakure exclaims, serious, and a spirit mask appears on his face, a colorful white mask. His hair is green, and his eyes are vivid green, like a leaf and a green breeze. "Fukeshin before you go... Can you check the force field wall? The path you walked on a while ago?... I sensed something strange and it was bothering me. I need to talk to these idiots. I'll come right behind you. Kiroshuku come with him if you want, Shira's and Hashira's! Wait for them both before you attack and don't leave here! You might all get lost if you walk on that path! That path is not only a path! It's a deadly maze!" Kage Rigakure shouted, which made them turn around and look up. Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure are seen walking up the path. All of the Shiras and Hashiras that were down there had now discovered they were stepping on grass with their boots. They were enthralled, and their eyes expanded as they took another glance around at their surroundings. "What do you think that man is thinking? Kage Rigakure is a mysterious man, in my opinion, and I have no idea what he's talking about. Maybe he's right... After all, I'm just a Shira swordsman, and you, Fukeshin Gakure... You're a Hashira, you know a lot of things that I don't know, like what that Hashira said, multiversal conflict, what do you think that means?... If I know what it means I probably don't know how to handle it," Kiroshuku Hakure said in a low voice as they walked down the path. They were walking on the ascending path. "I don't know what that man's thinking but. I know for one thing that he can solo the Hashira and Shira that is on this ground. If a fight occurs in this underground hidden land, it will get destroyed. It's a fight between a Hashira and a Hashira that won't go well, they will just make another destroyed land and will destroy the entire northern wind, but I wonder where the hell the floating island came from... I'll have to ask Rengoku and Katrina about it, they were both there, it's far from the mainland and the far north, I wonder if the far north would take action, it's been a while since I saw them moving, they're more hazardous... Dangerous like Kage Rigakure, he's different, different from anybody else I've seen, Kiroshuku Hakure, based on his aura, presence, stance, and attitude. You need to start to be careful from now on. He mentioned the Dark King's troops. If they got a sense of this place, the whole north wind is doomed," Fukeshin Gakure said in a low voice. He said it in a serious tone as they heard rumbling in the far distance. They both have their heads raised as they glance and as they walk. They saw something different in the path inside the cave. They can see the force field wall has giant cracks and the giant vine has cracks. They can see it from a far distance away. They began run as the Shira and Hashira became concerned. Kage Rigakure looked up and stopped chatting to Kataku Sukure. He looked up at Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure, who were running up. "Tsk! They've found the path... Now it's dangerous inside, all of you will hear an explosion and an actual rumble any minute now. I sensed an unknown looking down at us, it was on the surface... It must be an enemy, it's hearing sound waves from this distance," Kage Rigakure said as he raised his head and glanced. "Who are they, Rigakure?... I thought you had this place sealed up," Kataku Sukure said as he glanced at him and at the two in the distance. He sees Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure vanishing insight. They walk inside a cave and see the silent destruction that has happened. "Something bad happened here, surely it isn't a Shira or a Hashira doing, it must be a mob, if it's a mob, then this entire place is in danger, the force field wall is destroyed, what the hell happened here," Fukeshin Gakure muttered as they both saw enormous fractures on the ceiling and ground. There was a clear way front of them, but it was silence and simply darkness. The way has grown enormous. They notice someone approaching in the distance. They noticed dark particles traveling around its body in an unusual manner, and it was glowing in the dark. In the distance, an unknown dark is approaching them, followed by two other unknowns. The eyes of Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure expanded when they realized who was in the distance. "They don't know the place yet. If we defend it here, then they won't get a single touch of the place inside or even sight," Fukeshin Gakure whispered as he drew his sword with his right hand. Kiroshuku Hakure did the same and nodded as their vibes suddenly changed. Kage Rigakure has his eyes closed as he sensed full calm on the path but heard footsteps approaching that made him shudder and get shivers. He looked up again, his eyes widened. Suddenly, he began to run, and he ran by Shira's and Hashira's. Kataku Sukure and the other two unknown Hashiras trailed behind him. A loud roar could be heard above them. A tremendous boom noise suddenly erupted above them, causing everyone to look up. Suddenly, they see large fissures in the ceiling. That made Kage Rigakure and Kataku Sukure stop running and look up. Kage Rigakure was furious and he was completely unfazed. He was more mad and angry than he ever was. He exhales and a sudden calm occurs around his body. He lowered his head down and breathed. "It has begun, destruction cannot be prevented. They're starting to come down here, all Shira's and Hashira's need to get ready, but I'm sure they're ready every time," Kage Rigakure thought as he glanced. Suddenly, his eyes widen as he sees Fukeshin Gakure, and Kiroshuku Hakure get sent back. They both grunt in the middle of the air and fall. They were about to reach the ground when all of a sudden small vines broke the ground underneath and restrained them both. As soon as they touch the ground, small vines circled their hands and feet and body and restricted them from moving. Fukeshin Gakure manages to swing his sword before it catches him and the same as Kiroshuku Hakure. They both jumped back as they looked up. They reached Kataku Sukure and Kage Rigakure, which were behind them. "What happened?" Kataku Sukure and Kage Rigakure inquired together. Behind them, Hashira and Shira wield their swords menacingly. At the entrance, they notice three unknown insights. "Looks like we've got a party in here! A hidden land! What a surprise! And Hashira's and Shira's special meeting! I guess one of the Hashira's can teleport and I guess it's the east! East loves teleporting! They're like a bunch of maggots! Now, where am I? Oh yeah! Those two got sent back. I'm the Dark King's left hand! Fu! The swordswoman of the Dark King and his left hand! You will all perish in here, we are mighty Darks sent from hell to kill every single one of you. If you all die here, no one else will be able to stop us from conquering every nation!" She said as she knelt and flew down. As she flew down, she drew her sword in the middle of the air. She reaches Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure, both of whom adopt a defensive posture, although they are slow. Fu smiled as she prepared to swing her sword diagonally and slash them both. Suddenly, Kage Rigakure appeared in front of her, which made her eyes widen and lose her smile. He swung down his blade and she didn't realize it. She raised her blade and decided to defend, but she saw her blade wouldn't make it. Suddenly, the two unknown dark swordsmen appeared at her side and collided their blades with his. They both defend her and both of their blades collide with Kage Rigakure's blade. "Tsk...! I was about to cut her head off but these two appeared! I'm faster than them three, but in combination I'm slow! Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure still don't understand the fighting, but what happened is really exciting! I can't imagine everything just happened in a second!" Kage Rigakure thought as he walked backward, smiling behind the mask. Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure have already separated themselves from the four. Kataku Sukure suddenly emerged behind the three, while two unknown Hashiras appeared in front of the three. They are holding their swords in their right hands. Kataku Sukure was preparing to swing his blade down towards her, while the two unknown Hashiras were about to swing their blades upward toward the two unknown darks. Suddenly, just as their blades were about to reach them. They vanished with a smile. They both slammed to the ground, spitting blood and dropping their swords. Kataku Sukure's blade is caught between the Dark Swordswomen's fingers. She was simply gripping Kataku Sukure's sword with her thumb and index finger while smiling back. She was laughing as he realized he couldn't even flinch his sword. He tried pulling, pushing, and shifting it, but he couldn't. He was sweating when he noticed she was only holding it with her index and thumb fingers. "You're weak! I can't believe you are a Hashira or a Shira, but I guess the speed that you showed is a Hashira level, but it was not near the man who almost cut my neck. The two Hashira's that are with you are already down," she said as she pulled his blade and he also got pulled towards her. Then she raised her right leg and kicked him in the face, making him send back and let go of his blade in the middle of the air and his mask got destroyed. "Hey! Hey! Looks like the three of you are down! My name is Fu, and these two Dark Swordsmen on my sides in front of me are the Dark King's shadow hands, the one on my left is named Valkyrie, and the one on my right is named Cavalry, known as the Dark King's widows," she said menacingly. She doesn't feel threatened by simply standing straight in the face of many Shiras and Hashiras. They wore odd darkly patterned earrings. The three Hashiras were mercilessly beaten and severely injured by a single kick. They were all threatening. Except for the other Hashiras, all of the Shiras take a defensive posture and hold their blades in their right hand. Fukeshin Gakure stood tall, gripping his sword in his right hand. Kiroshuku Hakure was taking a breather and kneeling on his right knee, staring. "Tsk...! It's difficult to keep up with Fukeshin Gakure. I can't believe how fast the Hashira's are, and they're not even at their peak. And I can't believe it again. The Hashira's of the south are known to be more powerful than any nation. How did they get defeated in a single kicked? And also Kataku Sukure? He easily got taken down and I saw her holding his blade with just two fingers. With just her fingertips. Are you kidding me?" Kiroshuku Hakure thought. He thought more than just that and he thought its ridiculous. Kage Rigakure was standing in front of them. "A spirit mask?... I see! You're a wind Hashira! Right?" Fu inquired as they all stared at him. Kage Rigakure glanced at him and then back at her. "He's a Shira, but don't underestimate him, you three will fight me, my name is Kage Rigakure, I'm sure you three heard my name in the dimensions that got destroyed," he remarked as the three Darks got shivers when they heard his name. They began to take a step back. "They called me a Hashira?... What is she saying? I've been using these spirit masks since I was a child, and when I lose my normal masks, do these spirit masks enhance me?... I need to try it," Kiroshuku Hakure pondered as he noticed Kage Rigakure to his right about to step his right feet on the ground and stroked his blade menacingly. Suddenly, Kiroshuku feels a sudden calm around him as he suddenly vanished. All of a sudden, in front of Fu. She swings down her blade as soon as she sees him materializing. Her blade reached him but he suddenly vanished in front of her and that made her kneel to avoid what was behind her. She hears someone landing behind her. She slowly stands as she has her eyes widened. She looked at the two dark swordsmen in front of her that were at her side. Her eyes widened even more in surprise. She notices that they have both been decapitated and are missing their arms. Their arms had been severed, and they were lying on the ground. That caused her to turn around and see Kage Rigakure looking down at Kataku Sukure, who was just waking up.
