I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 128 Saitoichi

Carrying a human head in the street was a bit too scary, so Fujii took off the shirt and package of Blade's shirt and got a few five-yen banknotes. Knowing Kenshin well, he knew that Blade was actually employed by a sinister businessman selling cigarettes, the former Shinsei.

Takeda Kanyanagi, a middle-level member of the group, was killed by Saito Kazuichi in the original history and became one of the few Shinsengumi survivors in the Kenshin world.

Although Kanyanagi Takeda was a cadre of the Shinsengumi, his swordsmanship was mediocre, but he had an outstanding mind. He quickly accumulated wealth by smuggling and selling cigarettes, and dreamed of doing something big.

Edo Castle in the Meiji period has been renamed modern Tokyo. Fujii Shu stood in front of the grand police station gate with a package of human heads.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The two policemen on duty at the door set up long sticks and blocked his way in.

"The portrait of the person, the executioner Batosai, rewarded him with five hundred yen." Fujii Shu picked up the head, unwrapped it, and showed it to them with blood drops still dripping from the blade guard's head.

"I have no chance of catching such a dangerous person alive. Even if I can't get the full reward of 500 yuan, I should give him 300 yuan, right?"

He explained and noticed the plaque in front of the door. The words "Tokyo Police Department No. 4" were written in Chinese characters on a long cypress board.

Department 4? The police station managed by Saito Kazuichi?

Memory review, the battle of Shimaha Fushimi.

After slightly defeating Kenshin, Fujii's left hand was temporarily unable to move, and he met Saito Kazuchi, a Shinsengumi leader who was looking for a duel with Kenshin.

As soon as Saito introduced him, Yamagata Aritomo smiled and nodded to Fujii.

Orders came from outside the encirclement, and the police officers gave way. According to this Kenshin world, Saitoichi met Fujii tree again after ten years.

"This is Lord Aritomo of Yamagata, Secretary of the Army of the Meiji Government."

His thoughts gradually recovered, and Fujii Shu recalled that he was surrounded by police in front of the police station gate, and there were several ungrateful police officers lying at his feet. Fortunately, he was only wounded with his sword scabbard, and no blood was seen yet.

But just as Yoshimura Kanichiro was over his false alarm, a flash of sword light flashed towards him, and he raised his sword to block, but it was a step too late.

At this time, as before, Kanichiro Yoshimura with a shaved head appeared behind Fujii. Fujii, who had lost the mobility of one hand, was in crisis.

Fujii, who was holding a sword with one hand against Saito's hands, whispered in his ear. Perhaps because he was in a virtual world, another side of his heart was revealed, and his bad taste was multiplied.

After pretending that it was impossible to give up, Fujii held the sword in his middle with both hands, kicked off his legs, and struck down with a straight blow to the head.

Are you envious? You got the job of exterminating demons in exchange.

At the end of the joke, Fujii suddenly realized that Saitoichi and Saito Shigure had the same surname, maybe from the same noble family.

Saito raised the blade of the sword and looked at it. There were seven or eight flaws all over the edge of the blade, but the sword of the man opposite him was not damaged at all. As a senior cadre of the Shinsengumi, his sword was naturally a top-notch masterpiece.

, what kind of skills are needed to create the one in Fujii's hand?

"Saito-kun, is this the mysterious swordsman who defeated Himura Battousai as you said before? Please recommend him."

"Man over there, stop!"

"Is this guy an evil spirit?"

He raised his foot and kicked up a flintlock gun on the ground. The gun was still waiting to be fired. Fujii turned around and shot Yoshimura Kanichiro, which missed the mark.

"Are you looking for Battousai? Unfortunately, he was beheaded by me just now. I don't know whether he is dead or alive."

"Everyone, step back."

How was his sword made?

Vine! Well! Tree!!!

How can it be repaired!

Saito covered his wound. The injured position seemed to have been carefully selected and was not fatal. In his opinion, it would be better to just stab him to death. He thought that Fujii Shu felt that he was not qualified enough to die in a duel, deliberately

Spared his life.

Saitoichi addressed Fujii with honorifics. Although he had never forgotten the encounter, the strong still deserved respect. This is the typical thinking of the island nation's samurai.

"Look, it's like this, killing with one blow."

Fujiiju understood the emotion in Saito's glance, chuckled, and moved his injured left hand. His body was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he had already recovered a lot from the injury, and he could barely use it.

"Long time no see, Master Fujii."

An old man in white military uniform waving a folding fan appeared behind the gate. Fujii Shu narrowed his eyes. If he remembered this old man correctly...

"This is Lord Fujii, one of the top three swordsmen in the world, a great swordsman who has defeated Himura Battousai and me in a row, and can travel freely in the Battle of Toba Fushimi."

The secret of Feiten's Sword Style, Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!

Saito glared angrily, seeing his colleagues dying in front of his eyes, but for a moment he had nothing to do with this guy, and he was inevitably doubtful about what Fujii just said.

Fujii turned around and said in a very wicked way, Saitoichi is both an enemy and a friend to Kenshin. The two of them were once butchers, so it is inevitable that they will have some sympathy for each other, right?

Fujii, who could only use his right hand, was stopped by Saito. At Fujii's feet, corpses were scattered everywhere. His clothes were dyed purple, and half of his face was covered with deep red blood. The hand clenched in his right palm was beaten.

The knife is still as bright as new, and the blade is not damaged at all.

"Experience the sword skills of our flying sword style."

Slowly pulling out the sword blade from Saito Ichi, Fujii used his sleeve to wipe away the blood on it, sheathed the sword, passed by Saito Ichi who was half kneeling on the ground, and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Saito Ichi is not a swordsman of the level of Yoshimura Kanichiro. He reacted quickly and swung his sword to meet him. After receiving this direct slash, he was immediately greeted by another cassock slash. Before he could even take a breath, he had to block it again.

A strike against the cassock, two horizontal slashes on the left and right were blocked with great difficulty, and an oblique slash came in the blink of an eye. I tried my best to block it with all my strength. The reverse slash from the bottom up had to be retreated to avoid, until a sudden thrust came from the abdomen.

Passing through, a sharp edge appears.

"Evil ghost? No, no, no, I am the descendant of the Flying Sword, Fujii Itsuki. You must remember it well, Captain Saito."

The two of them withdrew their swords at the same time, turned around and slashed, and then they each took a few steps away after slashing several times.

Kill with one word!

Fujii turned the sword he was holding backwards, turned around and swung it horizontally, receiving a cassock slash from Saito Ichi. Behind him, Kanichiro Yoshimura slowly fell, blood spattered from the part where the sword hit him, and a few drops fell on Saito.

One's face.

"Really? Then let me verify whether you lied?"

As soon as Saito threw away the cigarette butt from his mouth, he didn't believe that any ronin swordsman could kill Battōsai Himura Kenshin.

Fujii threw away the blade guard's head and sword and made a compilation, which seemed a bit nondescript.

Are you a different kind of swordsman who likes Chinese culture? It doesn’t matter, as long as the sword is fast and powerful enough.

Yamagata Aritomo smiled even more, raised his hand and waved a fan to let the surrounding police officers disperse, and invited Fujii Shu inside to drink and talk in detail.

At the same time, Kenshin, who had just escaped with the girl, was escorted to prison by the police because of a fight with Takeda Kanyanagi's men who came to demolish the girl's dojo.
