from three generations

Chapter 26 The Mountain of Blood Mist (for further reading)
This is a small town near the Kyoto area.
As soon as Hiruzaru Sarutobi and his group entered, countless eyes in the city focused on them.

In the era of war, except for the prosperous cities that did not experience the war, the rest of the small towns lacked military strength, and basically experienced the baptism of soldiers and bandits.

Often there will be a starvation, thousands of miles of bones.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group all had ruddy complexions and were equipped with swords, obviously looking like wealthy people who are not short of food and clothing.

It is particularly obvious in this dilapidated small town.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi lightly glanced at the refugees who were curled up beside him, and the refugees unconsciously avoided their eyes.

There is no need to see the swords they are equipped with. Just because they are stronger than ordinary people, the refugees put out their thoughts of rushing forward and looting their homes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored these refugees, no matter which war-torn era would have such a scene,
Although capable, Sarutobi Hiruzen has no intention of being a saint,
Even from the perspective of time and space energy, only the fluctuation trajectory of extraordinary power can generate a large amount of energy,
Just changing the ordinary history is completely thankless for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Maybe even if the country is unified, it is not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen spreading his own chakra seeds and ninjutsu.

When Ji Guoyuan looked at these poor refugees, he felt a little bit unbearable, so he distributed some of the food they had.

Of course, Ji Guoyuan also does not want to change this era, this is his belief.

Not long after the group walked on the road, a plainly dressed man approached them.

"It's Sarutobi-sama"

"And Mr. Jiguo?"

The man saluted the group of people respectfully,

"I'm Zheyi"

"He's a member of the Product Family..."

"Specially for adults"

Obviously, the product industry is all over Kyoto and the surrounding areas, so it naturally has its own forces and intelligence forces.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded his head,

"Let's go, take us first"

Zheyi respectfully led the way ahead, and brought the group to a stronghold in a short while.
It is a tavern, and it seems to be a product-rich industry.

In one of the spacious rooms of the tavern,

The crowd finally got down,
And there are some relatively rich food and drinks in the room.

Of course, due to geographical restrictions, the supplies in the small town are limited, and these foods seem a bit crude.

"Sorry, my lord"

Zhe sat on his knees and bowed slightly,

"There are limited conditions here,"

“Couldn't be more entertaining”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't care about these things, and asked directly,

"How's it going.."

"I heard that three batches of swordsmen from the Ghost Killing Squad have fallen here..."

Ever since the swordsmen of the Demon Killing Squad learned how to breathe, they were sent out by the head of the product family to cleanse the ghosts in the Kyoto area.

Ordinary ghosts are naturally no match for swordsmen who have learned the breathing technique.
But some special evil spirits are powerful, even a swordsman who has learned the breathing method is no match.

"The ghosts here are in Mount Kirishima"

Zheyi explained,
"It's the hill to the southeast of the town,"

"It was originally famous for the white mist floating on the mountain all year round,"

"But then ghosts occupied it, and often captured humans who went up the mountain to eat..."

"Mt. Kirishima was renamed Blood Mist Mountain by many people"

"As for the swordsmen who went in from the Demon Slayer Squad..."

A look of sadness flashed across Zheyi's face, and he was also very sad for those companions.

He is also a poor man whose relatives were killed by ghosts, but because he doesn't have any talent in swordsmanship or martial arts, he can't join the ghost killing team and become a swordsman.
Can only be a peripheral intelligence member,

"Never come out again..."

"No one can bring information about the ghost"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded upon hearing that,

The swordsmen of the ghost killing team sent in the past are naturally stronger than each other, and there is no shortage of talented swordsmen who can quickly master the breathing method.
And the ghosts in the Blood Mist Mountain can kill all the ghosts, obviously at least they have the strength of the later generations.

'I just don't know whether to wind up or down.'

Hiruzaru Sarutobi estimated, and said in his mouth,
"Then do it right now,"

"Let's go straight there"

"How is it, Yuanyi?"

Ji Guoyuan also nodded,
"That's natural. If you can get rid of the ghosts earlier, you can reduce the number of human casualties..."

Although they had been exhausted for many days, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and his party were not ordinary guys, and they were not too tired after arriving at the destination.

And Chang Hao on the side couldn't speak, so naturally he had no objection.

After leaving the city again, I walked a short distance and arrived at the foot of Mt. Kirishima.

At the foot of the mountain, Zheyi's mission was naturally completed. The battle with ghosts is not something ordinary people can get involved in.

Kirishima Mountain is indeed as its legend says,
The entire mountain starts from the mountainside, and because of the water vapor and terrain, it is shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

With the beautiful natural scenery in the mountains, there is also some hazy beauty.

It's just that under this beauty, not only is the danger from evil spirits, but for ordinary people, even the ruggedness of the mountain road is enough to get lost in it.

In this environment, even many probing ninjutsu are useless,
Fortunately, the original swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad left their unique mark on the mountain.

The ghost killing teams of this era do not have magical crows to convey information, and generally pass information about ghosts in the form of imprinted codes.

Everyone followed the information left by the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad to the area near the top of the mountain.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned suddenly,

As the altitude gets higher and higher, the fog in front of you becomes thicker. Not only that, but from the perspective that ordinary people cannot see,

In the white mist in front of his eyes, there was also a layer of extremely pale red mist hidden in it.

A deep bloody smell spread unknowingly.

"The so-called Blood Mist Mountain..."

“It's apt”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at it lightly, but didn't take it too seriously.

No matter how gaudy the ghosts on Mount Kirishima are, with the combination of Ji Kuni and Hiruzaru Sarutobi, when the ghost king comes, he has to kneel here and kowtow to beg to be let go.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, the goal this time is no different from Caifeng.

"Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka."

Suddenly, there was a faint and regular chopping sound, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Over there, my lord!"

Changhao's ears moved, with the blessing of Chakra, his five senses also surpassed ordinary people, and he immediately discovered the source of the sound.

Everyone rushed over,
In a dense fog, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a woodcutter was chopping firewood on the flat ground, with a wooden house behind him.
It looks like a resident living in the mountains.

It can be seen that the man is holding a huge axe and easily splitting the tree trunk hugged by one person into two, which is obviously not the strength of ordinary people.

Combined with the legend of Blood Mist Mountain, the identity of the guy in front of him is self-evident.
