Konoha: The Man Who Became the Fourth Hokage

Chapter 326: For the sake of truth, sacrifice the value of falsehood

Chapter 326: For the sake of truth, sacrifice the value of falsehood

“rider?”

Lancer held the red magic spear in her hand, and at this moment her eyes became slightly solemn.

She originally thought that the opponent who could engage in such close combat with her and suppress her should be Saber.

I didn’t expect it to be a rider…

cavalry.

A being that is good at riding mounts to fight.

“What? Are you going to do it again?”

The red-haired man waved at Lancer provocatively.

“Oh, what a man who doesn’t understand romance.”

“You can’t kill me.”

“It’s just the first night, there’s no need to fight so hard.”

Lancer made a beautiful gun flower, glanced at Jiu Xing frivolously and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, Lancer, Jiu Xing and Altria all looked into the distance at the same time.

“Shirou!”

Altria’s face froze.

She wanted to rush to her students, but subconsciously looked back at Illya, and then her eyes fell on Lancer, who wanted to leave but stayed because of an unexpected incident.

“Stay still and protect Illya. I’ll go over.”

Jiu Xing glanced at Altria, then rushed in the direction of the young man.

Looking at Jiu Xing’s departing back, Lancer’s eyes fell on Altria.

“Alala, Rider actually kept you here.”

“Is this confidence in me or confidence in you?”

“Rider’s Master?”

Altria looked at Lancer calmly, her aura not inferior to his:

“You can try, Lancer.”

“Nice to meet you, young man.”

The beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes performed standard aristocratic etiquette towards the boy named Emiya Shirou.

“This, what is this…”

Emiya Shirou did not feel relieved at all by the other party’s seemingly friendly behavior.

He even took a step back as if facing a terrifying monster.

The reason is simple: there is a being standing behind the beautiful girl.

He has strong muscles and a powerful body, and his height alone is almost three meters!
There is a terrifying aura around him that can make people feel scared at a glance!
Especially since the giant on the other side was holding a stone knife in his hand that was bigger than Shirou Emiya himself!

“What’s this?”

Shirou Emiya couldn’t help but tremble as he looked at the huge ‘monster’ behind the other party.

“Really? These guys actually dragged ordinary people into this.”

“I don’t know what it means, but you can only blame it on bad luck.”

“Berserker.”

The girl called softly.

The giant behind her began to move step by step.

With every step the other party took, the ground trembled slightly. Emiya Shirou had no way to escape.

The ‘monster’ swung the huge weapon in his hand, obviously to carry out the girl’s order.

The ordinary people who witnessed the Holy Grail War will be “cleaned up”.

Bang! !

At this moment, accompanied by the huge stone knife, the whole earth collapsed and soil and rocks flew everywhere!

“Are you okay, boy?”

At this critical moment, a black figure burst out with indescribable speed and rushed in front of Shirou Emiya!

Jiu Xing struggled to resist the opponent’s stone knife, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch under the opponent’s terrifying force.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Jiu Xing could only cancel the Five-Tails’ Boil Release and switch to the speed of the Seven-Tails. At this moment, he was facing the terrifying power of Berserker. Even if he had A+ strength, he could hardly contend in this sudden state.

Shirou Emiya stared at the man who had saved his life again with wide eyes, gasping in fear.

“Thank you, thank you.”

However, at this moment, under the gaze of Jiu Xing and the girl opposite, a hint of scarlet appeared on the back of the boy’s hand.

“Rider, even so, are you going to save him?”

The girl chuckled as she looked at Jiu Xing who was defending against Berserker’s stone knife.

Jiu Xing looked at the young man in front of him named Emiya Shirou, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Forget it, do as you please, I don’t care.”

Jiu Xing exerted force suddenly, pushed away Berserker’s stone knife, and looked at Emiya Shirou, the smile in his eyes was gone.

Wha, what?
What happened?
Why did this person, who just now came to save me with such kindness, ignore me now?
Emiya Shirou didn’t understand why the other party’s attitude changed so quickly.

“You are a very sensible rider.”

The girl glanced at Jiu Xing, then spoke to the Berserker-class Servant.

“Berserker, kill him.”

He had just been chosen by the Holy Grail and was qualified to be called a Master.

At this moment, there is no time to even summon servants, which is undoubtedly the best time to take action!
“Young man, take care of yourself. I’m leaving.”

Jiu Xing turned around and left, and waved his hand at Emiya Shirou who was almost powerless to fight back against Berserker.

Berserker’s stone knife made a sound of breaking through the air and chopped towards Emiya Shirou.

Shirou Emiya looked at everything in front of him with trembling eyes.

He is dying?

Is he going to die?
Driven by his instinctive desire to survive, Shirou Emiya almost subconsciously raised his arms to block himself.

At this moment, the surging magical power exploded with Emiya Shirou as the center!
A silver-white figure holding a huge sword appeared in front of Berserker and the girl, accompanied by a huge amount of magic power!

bass!
The silver-haired man calmly neutralized Berserker’s attack, then looked at the boy lying on the ground in the dull eyes of the girl and said:

“Servant, Saber.”

“I have come to obey the summons. I ask you, are you my Master?”

The young boy stared blankly at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, not knowing how to start talking for a moment.

“Phase, phase summons?”

The girl was dumbfounded by what she saw.

Compatibility Summoning, as the name suggests, is to directly summon the servant that best matches your personality without using any relics.

But this will also lead to many uncertainties.

It is very likely that an unknown person in history will be summoned, who will then be easily killed by the enemy and withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

However, even affinity summoning requires summoning circles and summoning spells!

How on earth did this guy in front of me do it!
Not only was a servant summoned without any summoning circles or spells, but this servant was also the most balanced Saber among the seven classes!

Not only that, but this unknown Saber looks like a pretty powerful servant!
Saber looked at the sword-like Command Seal on the boy’s hand, and said calmly:
“Thus, the contract is established.”

Then the silver-white man pointed the sword in his hand at Berserker without showing any fear and said:
“If you want to kill my Master, you must first step over my dead body, warrior who has lost his mind.”

The girl gritted her teeth in anger as she watched the scene in front of her.

She is so envious!
He seems to be a servant with a very easy-going personality!
Jiu Xing couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the scene in front of him.

In the face of death, the potential is unleashed to turn the tide…

This reminded him of his son, Uzumaki Naruto.

This is definitely the treatment of a destined protagonist.

But Jiu Xing just made a rough guess, the destined protagonist?

How could it be so easy to encounter?
……

It’s hard to say…

Should we kill him now?

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, the silver-white swordsman set his eyes on Jiu Xing.

He then took a defensive posture and quickly retreated to Shirou Emiya, taking him away from there.

“Oh, he ran away~~rider.”

The girl’s eyes fell back on Jiu Xing.

“You’re running away, why are you looking at me?” “Be careful or I’ll send you offline.”

Jiu Xing said as he looked at the girl in front of him who looked exactly like Irisviel.

Compared with this girl and Madam Ellie, it is obvious that Madam Ellie is cuter.

“Hmph, you can try it. Berserker is invincible.”

The girl snorted lightly and didn’t care about Jiu Xing’s threat. Then she jumped nimbly and landed directly on Berserker’s shoulder.

“See you next time, rider.”

As the girl finished speaking, Berserker pushed his entire body downwards, then suddenly bounced, crushing the ground, and leaped away into the distance.

When Jiu Xing returned to Altria, Lancer had not left yet. He was still leaning on his gun and looking at him with interest.

“Rider, I helped you protect your Master, how are you going to thank me?”

The moment Lancer’s words fell, Altria’s words rang out.

“I did not accept your help, Lancer.”

Lancer’s expression froze at Altria’s words, and then he looked at Altria with an unhappy face and said:

“What if there are assassins nearby? Wouldn’t you be dead?”

“No ordinary servant can defeat her.”

Jiu Xing ignored Lancer’s words and walked straight towards Altria.

“You mean, I am also what you call a ‘normal Servant’?”

Lancer’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Jiu Xing thought for a moment, then looked at the spearman in front of him seriously and said:

“It’s a 50-50 match, but if it’s a protracted battle, you definitely won’t be able to beat her.”

Artoria has Avalon, so perhaps that won’t have any effect on the evil of this world caused by the Holy Grail.

But when it comes to battles between servants, he’s just being a rip-off.

It is always in full health, and can recover instantly even if injured.

It can also achieve the space defense effect of “blocking”.

Without space-based attacks, most servants would be unable to do anything to her.

If Lancer didn’t have a special Noble Phantasm with targeted effects, he wouldn’t be a match for Altria.

Even if Artoria was hit, as long as she was not killed instantly, she would be alive and kicking again in no time.

In terms of martial arts, the two are evenly matched.

Maybe Lancer is a bit stronger.

“Tsk, your kindness is taken for granted.”

“Hmph, I’m leaving now. Bye.”

“The next time we meet, we will be enemies again.”

After saying that, Lancer leaped and disappeared into the night.

“Is everything okay?”

Altria watched Lancer leave, then looked at Jiu Xing.

In fact, her decision not to take action was a strategy that had already been agreed upon.

After all, who could have known that Rider’s Master would be Saber from the last Holy Grail War?
If any blind master turns his attention to Altria again, I’m sorry…

EX Curry Sticks are waiting for you to be delivered to your door.

“Is Jiu Xing okay?”

Illya came close to Jiuxing and looked around to see if Jiuxing was injured.

“Eh? You seem to care about me at this time?”

Jiu Xing looked at the white-haired loli in front of her who was circling around her with some surprise.

“Tsk, who cares about you?”

“I’m just worried that if you die, no one will protect me and take me away from Sister Liya. What will happen?”

Illya rolled her eyes at Jiu Xing.

“Eh?”

“You little girl, you are so sad.”

Jiu Xing reached out and rubbed Illya’s head, making the white-haired loli so angry that she seemed to want to bite him again, but when she thought of the consequences of the two previous bites, she closed her mouth in displeasure.

“You saw what happened just now, right?”

Jiu Xing looked at Altria and spoke.

“……Um.”

Altria was silent.

She was somewhat caught off guard that her student had become one of the seven masters.

But based on Jiu Xing’s understanding of Altria.

The other party will never attack his own students.

“If possible, if you meet him again in the future, defeat that Saber.”

“Then let Shirou stay in the Cathedral Church.”

Altria spoke hesitantly.

“It’s up to you. I don’t care anyway.”

Jiu Xing waved his hand. The reason he participated in the Holy Grail War was simply because Altria, whom he regarded as a friend, needed his strength.

That’s it.

Jiu Xing does not have a clear wish like other servants.

He comes when his friends need him.

Then have some fun and see your wife.

But this time, something seemed to go wrong with the summoning.

Although various values ​​​​have been greatly improved because of Altria, some memories have been lost, which also caused him to be unable to use several of his treasures.

“Let’s go, I want to eat hot pot tonight.”

Jiuxing waved to call out to Altria, and Illya took this opportunity to jump onto Jiuxing’s back.

“Don’t you need to eat?”

“Just say it has magic power.”

Altria followed Jiu Xing and spoke with a frown.

“Oh, that’s just that I simply don’t want to eat pickles.”

Jiu Xing said confidently.

“Jiu Xing, being picky about food is not a good habit.”

“I’d love to~~~”

Matou family

The purple-haired girl looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with concern.

“Is that so?”

Caster smiled gently as always.

“Don’t worry, my little master.”

“Even if it’s ‘me’, I won’t show mercy.”

Caster gently stroked the stray cats in front of him that he had fed.

“The Servants summoned in the Holy Grail War are merely projections of the original Servants.”

“The projection is fake after all, and my Master.”

The man’s gentle gaze fell on the girl.

“Fake is fake after all, but if this fake can save the truth.”

“Then can this fakeness offer its own value for this cruel truth?”

The man teased the stray cats in front of him. The cats, which were usually very vigilant, acted like docile pets that had been raised at home for a long time in front of the man.

“caster…”

“Why, why are you doing this to me?”

Sakura Matou didn’t quite understand the other party. For the sake of her master, whom she met for the first time, she would not even show mercy to herself?

The man looked at the girl gently and said:
“Because I know myself too well.”

“When I was young, I probably participated in this Holy Grail War just for fun…”
