Seeing the figure of Akechi Mitsuhide disappearing into the night, Shibata Katsuie's face was a little cloudy.

The conversation between the two just now made her a little difficult to digest for a while, to be honest, she didn't want to get rid of Niwa Nagahide, not only because of her identity as a childhood friend with the other party, but also because she understood how Niwa Nagahide led Owari to destruction but not to Nobunaga, if she couldn't see Niwa Nagahide destroy the Owari forces they had worked so hard to build, she wouldn't have cooperated with Akechi Mitsuhide, she really thought she couldn't see that the other party was using her?

Her idea is simple, work with Akechi Mitsuhide to bring down Niwa Nagahide, and then prevent Akechi Mitsuhide from further expanding his influence in Owari, so that she and the other party can form a counterbalance.

No one is a fool, no one will be led by the nose, and they all have their own calculations.

As for the means proposed by Akechi Mitsuhide, she immediately vetoed it, and she couldn't do it.

However, she probably would never have thought that this person she couldn't do would propose to get rid of her.

Even if it's a childhood sweetheart, it can't withstand the benefits, and there may be other reasons, but after all, it can't hide its intentions.

The moment he turned back to the house, the guard beside him suddenly fell to the ground, not even a trace of life.

Shibata Katsuya stood still, a fist suddenly slammed in, and the strength of the fighting energy that accompanied the shaking air made his eyelids jump, and he was hit by this attack under the inevitable avoidance, and the whole person was knocked upside down and smashed the courtyard pillar behind him.

The pain in his body and the blood that could gush out of his body at any time made the Shibata Katsuie, who could not be stopped, feel like a great enemy, and as an S-class powerhouse with a few Owari, there were very few people who could inflict heavy damage on themselves under an instant sneak attack.

There would be no such person in Owari, so it could only be from outside the school.

Before he had time to think about who it was, the man struck again, kicking out with long legs, and his toes screaming like a sharp sword.

Shibata Katsuie, who had already taken precautions, stretched out his hands and twisted them together, intending to control him.

However, the opponent's feet twisted and dodged like a spirit snake, and kicked them accurately in the chest.

The clothes were torn, revealing the fullness wrapped in a black cloth, and the bare body did not make Shibata Katsuie's complexion change in the slightest, although the opponent's attack was tricky, but it was no longer able to break through his physical defenses when he was on guard.

The man was also a little surprised, but then she was relieved, she knew the information of this No. 1 Owari general, his strongest is not attack, but defense, and martial arts are mostly famous for personal skills.

Against such an opponent, there is no need to get close, and no amount of attacks will only hurt them but not die.

It's just that what if it's a very strong fist?

The momentum around her suddenly changed, as if she had changed into a different person, but when she strode out, the masonry on the ground shattered, and the unfancy punch came with a whine, both pure strength and the strength of the fighting spirit made the air explode.

Shibata Katsuie's pupils shrank, knowing that this trick couldn't be eaten hard, and at the same time, he vaguely felt a little familiar with this trick. Her whole body forcibly broke through the restraints of the opponent's momentum under the attack, and the whole person was short and tried to dodge this move.

However, the fist wind still rubbed against Shibata Katsuya, feeling uncomfortable in her viscera, she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then covered her mouth and nose and knelt on the ground, and the blood beads that flowed from her fingers fell and slowly gathered, she spoke, her voice hoarse, "This is, Honda Tadashikatsu's martial arts, how did you know this move?" ”

The person who came said coldly, "Dead people don't need to know so much. ”

As the words fell, her right hand slowly pressed on the top of Shibata Katsuie's head, who slowly closed his eyes, the regret and unwillingness on his face, and the bitterness on the corner of his mouth all indicated her mood at the moment of life and death.

...

Leaving the Shibata Katsu family mansion, Akechi Mitsuhide felt a little frightened, this kind of restlessness is not much, but every time it appears, something bad happens.

There seemed to be an illusion that she had been lured, and she wanted to go back to Shibata Katsuya to have a look.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally stopped and turned back.

Ten minutes later, she returned to the Shibata Katsu family's mansion again, but the dead silence made her face change immediately.

Without thinking about it, he pushed the door open, the smell of blood penetrated the tip of his nose, and Akechi Mitsuhide's face immediately turned extremely pale.

What she feared seemed to be happening.

The next day, the news came out that there was an accident in the home of Shibata Katsuie, the No. 1 master of Owari, and all his men were killed, and he was also unknown and his life and death were unknown.

'Bang'

Another shot broke the coffee table, Oda Nobunaga endured the grief and indignation in his heart, and looked coldly at everyone present, "I need an answer, why did Katsuya have an accident in our Owari?" ”

Everyone was silent, they couldn't answer this question, there weren't many people who could defeat Shibata Katsuya, it must be a master that none of them could handle, and such a master, how could they deal with it?

However, even if they are not willing to come forward, there are people who want to use this opportunity to make a move, but when they saw a person, they suddenly said, "My lord, I suspect that someone is colluding with external forces!" ”

Oda Nobunaga looked at him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go on, talk about your suspicions." ”

Hearing this, the man seemed to unconsciously glance at Niwa Nagahide, who blinked slightly, and then listened to him, "Yesterday, someone saw Akechi Mitsuhide enter Shibata's house, and then go and return. ”

Everyone turned their attention to Akechi Mitsuhide, who looked calm, but when they saw her glance at Niwa Nagahide, a slight sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth, and then she said solemnly, "I did visit Shibata-sama yesterday, and then left, and I went and returned halfway through. ”

Oda Nobunaga's face became gloomy, and he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes with a hint of murderous intent, and just when she couldn't help but take it down, she continued, "I know you suspect that I am a stranger to the outside, but I belong to the same line as Shibata-sama, and the relationship is even better, so how can I kill the killer?" I have neither the motive nor the strength, and if you insist that I will be the murderer, I have nothing to say, except that it will allow the real murderer to go unpunished. ”

In the end, she deliberately glanced at Niwa Nagahide, a move that made the latter's face change slightly.

Is this going to drag yourself to die with you?
