Right at that moment, a fierce battle was raging outside the cave where they were hiding. A group of Stone ninja were fighting against Juuzou Biwa and his squad of Mist ninja. Juuzou swung his Executioner's Blade, and with a single slash, he decapitated a Stone ninja.
"Is that him?" Natsuhi blinked, glancing at Kusuo beside her. He just nodded seriously. "This is a good opportunity for you to observe his strength, so you'll have some experience when you face him later." During his last battle, Kusuo had suffered because he was unfamiliar with his opponent's fighting style.
"Lord Kusuo, entrusting such an opponent to Natsuhi... won't it be too much for her?"
Kusuo looked at Natsuhi, then said meaningfully to Kuroko, "That's something you don't need to worry about. I hope that in the future, you will all learn some new combat techniques from her."
Hearing this, Kuroko's eyes widened. The Demon Slayer Corps was not weak. Even against ordinary Anbu or the Hokage's personal guards, they could easily win. Yet Kusuo was suggesting that Natsuhi would be the one to teach them. He looked at her again, but this time his gaze was filled with respect and suspicion. To receive such a comment from Kusuo meant that she must have some merit. But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the current Natsuhi wouldn't stand much of a chance even against him. He had no idea why Lord Kusuo would choose such a person to train the Demon Slayer Corps.
"What is the progress on Ibiki Morino's side?" Kusuo asked.
Kuroko immediately knelt on one knee. "Reporting, Lord Kusuo, our progress has been very smooth recently. We have obtained all the information on the other Tailed Beasts and are currently in the process of verifying it. If all goes well, it won't be long before we can extract all of their chakra."
Hearing this, Kusuo nodded with satisfaction. "You've done well. In that case, you will stay here for now. There are some things I need you to handle."
Faced with Kuroko's questioning look, Kusuo simply glanced outside at Juuzou Biwa. Kuroko immediately sucked in a breath of cold air but didn't dare say anything more. After all, this was a mission given to him by Kusuo. He knew very well what the consequences would be if he failed to complete it.
"I won't let you do it alone. Natsuhi will be there to help you. You just need to provide her with good support." Hearing this, although Kuroko was a little dissatisfied, he was also very surprised. No matter how he looked at her, her combat ability seemed average. If a real battle broke out, especially against an opponent like Juuzou, he had no idea what she could possibly do.
"You can start by carefully observing his moves," Kusuo said, noticing Natsuhi's dazed expression. Her attention snapped back. Juuzou's speed was much faster than the last opponent she had faced, and his handling of the Executioner's Blade was incredibly fluid. He was countless times stronger than Jinpachi Munashi.
"If I asked you to fight him right now, would you be confident?"
Natsuhi hesitated for a moment. "What kind of weapon is he using? It's as rare as the last one. I've never seen it before. If I knew more about the weapon, I might be confident I could kill him." This time, she was much more cautious. She had suffered quite a bit from her opponent's strange weapon last time.
Seeing her response, Kusuo nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. You were able to think of this so quickly." He hadn't expected her to progress so fast. "The weapon he's using is called the Executioner's Blade. And his strength is also very great. You can take a closer look."
As he spoke, Juuzou, with his blade, cut down another ninja. The Executioner's Blade began to greedily absorb the man's blood, and a satisfied expression appeared on Juuzou's face. "As you can see, that is the power of this sword."
Seeing this, Natsuhi also grew tense.
