"Dazzling Blazing Cut of the Blue Flame, One Slashed!" The unknown captain releases a technique as he reaches the giant energy ball and slices it into two. The flames burst towards the tip of his blade and a fierce hit blew the giant energy ball far to its side.
Then a light flashed brightly as the split energy ball slammed to the ground and a giant tree. It got pulverized the same as the ground it landed on. The unknown captain immediately turned around and grabbed Sezikiri and flew away.
He flew towards the gate and immediately hid behind a wall as suddenly a massive explosion occurred. The unknown captain quickly lay down and Sezikiri remained standing and confused about why he lay down.
A violent tremor on the ground knocked him to the ground, and a tremendous furious wind blasted the giant gate that was laying on the ground away. Half of the walls were destroyed, and a massive hole was created outside the village. The light stopped next to the wall, and nearly half of the forest was devastated.
After a few minutes, there was only a strong wind blowing them. Last time, there was wind, shock, and explosion that might crush you. The unknown captain stood up and stabbed his sword in front of him with his right hand. When he looked up, he noticed that a large portion of the wall had been blown away.
"That damn explosion almost destroyed my entire village!" he screamed angrily, standing straight and clearing his throat. He began to walk, his eyes widening in shock at what he started to sense. He re-sheathed his sword, extinguishing the blue flames.
"Yeah, good thing you came here up front and that didn't happen, what did you do anyways? And by the way, my name is Sezikiri," he inquired, looking at the unknown captain in front of him on his right. He was getting closer. That drew the mysterious captain's attention to him. They approached the gate and began to peek outside, and what they saw caused their eyes to widen.
"I'm Captain Regaku... I've cleared out the entire land behind him, it's safe to enter there, and I'm guessing you're reinforcement? Where are the others, why are you alone, and why the hell are you naked?" the unknown captain inquired. As soon as he asked, he saw him sigh and make a sorrowful look. He eventually grasped what was wrong.
"They were all killed by Five. The Darkening of the Fifth Dimension, that's him... He came and he's the reason your village nearly turned to dust," Sezikiri remarked solemnly. That causes his eyes to widened.
"Well, I'm sorry for your loss, but where the hell is he? The one we'll be fighting, the Burraku named Five," Captain Regaku said, looking around at the forest in the distance, which was completely dark due to the wind. Only five trees remained in the distance.
The crater was so large that they could see the enormous trees in the distance. They could also see massive trees falling to the edge of the two craters. They were stunned, but it was right in front of them. They could tell that they were not facing a typical dark swordsman, but rather something considerably worse.
"I run through here, and the last time I saw him was near those five trees that are still standing, maybe he fled because he saw you and got scared," Sezikiri joked. Captain Regaku looked around with a serious uneasy expression.
"No, he's here," Captain Regaku said, prompting Sezikiri to look around. He looks even within the crater and at the five massive trees in the distance. He blinks once, and the massive branches in the distance are immediately severed. It tumbles and rolls down to the massive craters. However, he sees no one and no slash cut.
"How do you know?" Sezikiri inquired, his gaze drawn to Captain Regaku. He took a deep breath as an unknown figure emerged from the darkness in the distance. Five emerged from the shadows, his eyes expanding and grinning at them.
That answers Sezikiri's question as he menacingly strokes his blade. He clears his throat and realizes they are in serious threat. He could clearly see his eyes enraged and upset, wondering how he was still alive and who the man next to him was.
"I'd like to ask, is everyone inside the village evacuated? Because this could blow things up and I don't know how much time is left till he does that fierce energy ball once again. Also, where is the head of this village?" He asked as Captain Regaku began walking without fear.
"I left Farrel with Sukune and Sakana, my students... One of them is badly injured, and it's Sukune. He needs medical attention, and I need to get him to the nearest hospital," he explained as Sezikiri trailed behind him.
They reached him and moved at least a short distance away. They could both see Five laughing in the distance for no apparent reason. He held a bomb in his left hand and a sword in his right, both of which were pointing down at the ground.
"I heard your name is Five, what brought you here?" Captain Regaku inquired as he noticed Five raise his head and stare menacingly at him. He laughed even more as he saw his tremendous beast-flaming aura behind and inside him.
"Nothing, just passing by, slaughtering humans left and right... What do you care? I also have an offer for you," Five grinned as he noticed Captain Regaku glaring at him.
"What is it?" he questioned, nodding and turning to his right to look at the crater next to them. He stared out into the distance at the big trees being blown by the wind.
"Be a Dark Deity Swordsman, be our dark flaming swordsman as the darkening of the ninth dimension, if you do that you'll preserve your skills and go beyond me, what do you say?" he replied, as Captain Regaku menacingly smirked at him.
"Who in the world made you think I'm falling for that, and why the hell would I accept it? I'm not a fool you could just play on, I suggest you leave my precious forest, you leave this village, and I would guarantee you no one needs to get hurt," Captain Regaku replied menacingly, glaring at him and not blinking once in the previous minutes.
"No one needs to get hurt? Let me clarify to you swordsman that you'll be the one who gets hurt here, just like your immortal friend. I will eradicate this village unless you don't kill me even though the sun will rise in just a few minutes," Five said menacingly as he smiled at Captain Regaku behind the mask. He did the same as he drew his sword with his right hand.
Five notices his sword's blade explode into orange flames. It gradually turned blue as he tightened his grasp on his blade, only his right hand holding it. He could feel the heat of his fires from afar. From a distance, he appeared dangerous, and there was a breeze blowing around his cloak.
"Immortal? This one right here? Hmm? That's not possible, but I'll believe him for now, and I think that's why he's naked. Let's start this fight so we can get things done faster," Captain Regaku said menacingly as he flew towards Five, leaving a blue trail behind him.
He reaches Five within a second. He swings his sword with both of his hands from the right to the left towards his waist but he sees him immediately jump backward and threw a bomb towards him with his left hand. He immediately swung his sword from the left to the right and cut the bomb but light flashed as soon as he cut the bomb and it exploded.
A massive cloud of smoke arose, and Five emerged from behind the black smoke in the distance, landing on the ground and smoldering. Captain Regaku was returned to his starting point. He landed on both feet while raising his sword and swinging it down in the air with his right hand.
He slash, and a furious soaring blue flame slash attack flew towards Five, clearing the massive black fog in the distance. His eyes widened as he saw the fiery cut approaching him, capable of severing him in two. He swiftly avoids it by turning to the right.
"This damn blue-flaming swordsman is skilled, I'm sure he fought a lot of us, which makes sense, those flying slash attacks are no joke!" Five exclaimed as he noticed Captain Regaku in the distance swung his sword once more and vanished in thin air.
That caused his eyes widen even more as he glanced left, right, and above him, not seeing him but catching a surprised look from Sezikiri. Captain Regaku appeared above him, poised to slash him in the head, when four little explosives engulfed Captain Regaku's sides. As he learns it was a trap, it flashes and he sees Five smiling at him.
