🕑 Added 2025-01-11 11:50:08 +0000 UTCWhen they saw the unfamiliar figures, no words were spoken. Instead, they immediately aimed their weapons, firing a barrage of bullets with deadly speed, creating an explosive sound that echoed throughout the room.

...
Nobu Yoshioka, or more commonly known as Kagenobu Yoshioka, is a warrior whose strength is hard to match.
Facing a hail of bullets pouring down like a storm, Nobu showed no fear whatsoever. Calmly, as he swung his long sword, he created a mesmerizing dance in the shimmering silver light reflecting off the blade.
The sound of metal echoed in the air, "Clang! Clang!" Dozens of bullets aimed at Nobu were deflected one by one, repelled by the graceful movements of Nobu's sword. The silver light produced by the sword seemed to protect Nobu in the chaotic battlefield.
However, no matter how strong Nobu's abilities were, his sword did not possess the same durability. After an intense battle against Lance, the stainless steel blade was already filled with small cracks. Now, struck by dozens of bullets at once, the sword finally gave in. In a matter of seconds, the blade broke, leaving only the hilt in Nobu's hand.
"Bang!"
With seething anger, Nobu stepped back for a moment. He gripped the remaining hilt tightly and threw it with all his might.
The broken hilt soared through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound. In an instant, the object pierced the eye of one of the assassins nearby Nobu.
"Bang!"
The head of the unfortunate assassin exploded like a watermelon struck by a hammer, scattering bone fragments and brain matter in all directions. This horrific sight momentarily silenced the other assassins, fear overtaking them.
Taking advantage of this brief pause, Nobu quickly shed his cloak, revealing a backup weapon tucked at his waist. He then drew the weapon with a graceful motion and leaped into the crowd of assassins like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
The weapon now in Nobu's hands was the Lock Sickle, or Kurasigama, one of the unique weapons in ancient Japanese martial arts. This weapon features a design that combines an iron ball with a long chain connected to a long-handled sickle blade.
The combination of the soft and hard parts makes it highly flexible, capable of attacking from a distance using the iron ball or tearing apart an opponent's body with its sharp blade up close.
However, Nobu's Lock Sickle was not an ordinary weapon. Its design had been specially modified, featuring a short spear-shaped blade with a single edge, better known as the Kyoketsu-Shoge. With this weapon, Nobu was not only deadly but also nearly unstoppable.
In the Daredevil story, Kagenobu Yoshioka once nearly tore Daredevil apart using this weapon. Now, on the blood-soaked battlefield, Nobu once again showcased his skills, utilizing every movement with deadly precision.
These assassins were clearly no match for Daredevil. As Kagenobu Yoshioka approached them, not a single one had a chance to fight back.
With his expertise, Kagenobu swung the Lock Sickle like a deadly nine-section whip. The weapon danced in the air like a living silver serpent, moving with incredible agility and speed. The sickle blade at its end spun wildly, rising and falling, reflecting and decapitating enemies in the blink of an eye.
The bodies of the helpless assassins fell one by one, creating pools of blood on the floor. Their numbers were vast, yet they were nothing more than mere practice targets for Kagenobu.
However, this time Kagenobu's subordinates were no longer just spectators. With full confidence in their leader, they advanced to face the assassins. Hidden, ferocious weapons began to be unleashed one by one, each carrying a terrifying threat.
There were weapons spinning wildly like deadly discs, some shooting straight like arrows, others curving unexpectedly, and some bouncing and colliding with one another.
Some appeared to bite their prey, and some even pierced the ceiling before falling with deadly speed.
However, no matter how erratic the movements of these weapons were, they always landed where they were supposed to—hitting the target precisely.
The assassins, once confident in their strong firepower, had now become victims in a massacre that unfolded with terrifying speed. Within minutes, they were wiped out by a group of ninjas using only cold weapons.
Amidst the chaos, Albino's voice sounded hoarse. Albino stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He felt as if he were dreaming.
The reputation of The Hand had long been known in the underworld. However, for those who had never seen The Hand up close, it was hard to imagine how terrifying this organization was.
The assassins were not soldiers. Even a trained regular army would collapse if it lost more than half of its members. No wonder the remaining assassins, despite their hands stained with blood, began to lose their sanity. Fear gripped them. With faces pale as if they had seen a ghost, they screamed and fled aimlessly, leaving their fallen comrades on the floor.
In a short time, the headquarters of the assassin organization fell silent once more.
"It seems we can continue," Kagenobu said coldly, with a calmness that was frightening.
Nobu turned to Lance, who was casually leaning against the wall, as if enjoying this bloody spectacle. Kagenobu's gaze sharpened, like a predator stalking its prey. Nobu's eyes glinted with a menacing red, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a threatening smile.
Kagenobu pointed to the large room in front of him, which was nearly ten times larger than the space they were currently standing in. "Over there," Nobu said in a low but forceful voice. "It would surely be more enjoyable to fight in that place."
Lance tilted his head slightly, almost smiling, but he decided against it. "Don't you need a break?" Lance asked casually, almost mockingly.
"No need!" Nobu Yoshioka replied firmly. With a light flick of his wrist, Nobu snapped his sickle, and the bloodstains on the silver blade vanished, leaving a cold and threatening silver gleam.
