"Little, Little Quan Quan..." Hana felt a chill run down her spine. This address sounded so out of place. The uncle she first met, Little Quan Quan... Pfft.
Upon first meeting Ryozo, she didn't feel awkward or anything: "Izumi is a child from a branch family; by seniority, she's my adorable nephew~"
"Wow! Nephew? Uncle, how old are you?"
"I just turned forty this year."
“I remember when I first met you, you were already forty-one years old last year…” Hana shuddered: “You’re really of a high generation!”
Liang San scratched his head: "There's nothing I can do. My father was sixty-eight years old when he had me. It's not something I could choose. My eldest brother's grandson is only five years younger than me."
"Sixty-eight years old..." Hana was surprised: "Is your father still alive? If he is, I know a very powerful old man in China. Maybe I can introduce them to each other and they can go clubbing together or something."
"Well, I'll pass on the message when I see Dad next time."
Well, it seems that the ancestor of the Chujian family is still alive, and he is a monster who is nearly 110 years old. Hanon couldn't help but feel wistful: "Are martial artists in the New World all so long-lived? I feel like my enthusiasm for martial arts has suddenly increased."
"Um, if there's nothing else, please leave." Hatsumi Ryozo suddenly said, "There was a commotion outside, was that caused by you? I'm hiding here to avoid trouble and have no intention of fighting anyone, so... please leave."
This time it was Shino's turn to complain: "Hey! You idiot coach! You're the head coach of the Ninja Academy, how come you're not even struggling?"
To everyone's surprise, Ryozo's reply was very self-righteous: "Because I hate trouble... Honestly, I never wanted to be a coach in the first place."
"Then, how did you get here?"
“These Westerners approached me and asked me to teach ninjutsu. At first, I refused. My life is about freedom, how can I be confined to one place? But they offered me too much money, and I happened to be short of money.”
Hanon sighed, "Uncle, so you're the kind of person who says 'no' but your body says 'yes'..."
Ryosuke shrugged: "I could argue a bit, but that would be too much trouble. Just think what you want..."
His nonchalant attitude infuriated Shino: "You wage thief! Once this is over, I'm going to tell the school and get you expelled!"
"Oh dear, this is a problem." Ryozo's already sleepy expression became even more miserable: "Being a ninja is a very expensive hobby. This ninja school not only pays a high salary, but also provides all sorts of interesting equipment. I'm really reluctant to part with it."
So Ryozo turned to Kanon and said, "How about we exchange a few moves to make it a token exchange, so I can report back to my superiors?"
"I couldn't ask for more." Hanon had only entered after sensing Ryozo's "qi" and had long been looking forward to fighting this master: "Actually, I've met your nephew, Izumi, but unfortunately, I've never had the chance to officially fight him."
Hanon didn't need to warm up anymore; she was already quite warmed up after the fight. "Now that I'm facing you, my uncle, I guess it makes up for the regrets of the past."
“This is troublesome. It sounds like you have some grudge against Koizumi.” Ryozo’s brows furrowed slightly. “There’s a cause for every grievance, and a debtor for every debt. If you want to settle your score, you should go find the person in charge.”
“I know, I’m a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and I won’t use excessive force unnecessarily.” Hanane said, “Then please make your move…?”
Although he agreed to fight Kanon, Ryozo remained completely still throughout the entire fight, not even bothering to move his buttocks.
"Uncle?"
"Um, could you please turn off the mechanism in the training room, blonde American girl?" Ryozo hesitated for a while before finally giving his reason: "There are swords and blades here, it'll be dangerous."
"The switch is inside the training room..." Shino said, laughing and crying at the same time. She pointed to the wall not far from Ryozo and sure enough, there was a button. "Idiot coach! You've been here for so long and you still can't find the button in the training room?"
"Heh, I see. What a terrible design. You have to go through the swords to press the switch." Ryozo stood up, walked over, and pressed the button.
"Tch, it's obviously because you're too lazy..." Shino was still muttering to himself.
Hanon shook her head: "As expected of a top master of Aikido."
The sword mechanism on the ceiling was always in operation, and it would fall if it detected the slightest human movement. However, from the moment Ryozo stood up until he pressed the button to turn off the mechanism, the sword did not fall at all!
This level of Aikido is almost at the level of fantasy.
However, Hatsumi Ryozo denied it, saying, "You're wrong. I'm a ninja, you know. This isn't Hatsumi-ryu Aikido, but Hatsumi-ryu ninjutsu."
"That's perfect." Kanon got into a fighting stance: "I've been fighting ninjas these past few days~"
"What an energetic young lady." Ryozo made no move, not even bothering to beckon to Kanon, and said expressionlessly, "I'm fine, we can start anytime... Hmm?"
As soon as the words were spoken, accompanied by the surprised voice of Ryozo upon first meeting him, Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion" had arrived.
This move was undoubtedly extremely fast and powerful, with astonishing destructive force—Kane truly treated this battle as if it were a do-or-die match against Izumi!
However, after touching Ryozo, Kanon suddenly felt the force shift. Even with her level of control over the flow of power, she couldn't stop the inertia and passed by Ryozo, crashing into the wall.
"Boom..." The wall was smashed open by Hanon, leaving a large dent, and dust scattered everywhere.
"Oh my god..." Before Ryozo could react, the female ninja Shino at the door was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground: "I really fought this monster twice yesterday?"
She now realized just how "gentle and considerate" Hanon had been when they fought yesterday; what if such a terrifying impact had come crashing down on her...
Kanon's attack was deflected and she crashed into the wall, but she immediately pulled out her fist, activated "Unbreakable," and switched to a defensive stance. In just one exchange, it was clear that Ryozo's strength was undeniable, and she naturally had to be wary of his pursuit.
But even after the smoke cleared, Kanon hadn't been attacked, and Ryozo was nowhere to be found in the entire training room.
"Ah! He ran away?" Shino exclaimed in surprise. "But I was right at the door, and I didn't see anyone run out!"
“He ran away, but he didn’t leave the house,” Hanon said to Shino, her eyes narrowing.
Immediately afterwards, Hanon suddenly punched the wall next to her, and the seemingly ordinary wall suddenly rippled and... wrinkled.
That wasn't a real wall, but a hyper-realistic canvas used in camouflage.
Ryozo emerged from behind the canvas at first sight, dodging Kanon's punch, which was incredibly powerful, slamming the disguised canvas into the wall.
"Oh my, you can sense the presence of 'ki'?" Ryozo clicked his tongue. "My ninjutsu disguise is flawless, but my Aikido skills are not yet at their peak, so I can't completely hide my aura. And you just happen to be a formidable opponent with keen senses."
Author's Note: Some people on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) previously suspected that Ryozo was Izumi's grandfather, but Izumi belongs to the branch family, so he is not the eldest grandson of the eldest brother mentioned in Kengan. Actually, when Izumi first met him in Kengan, he mentioned that he went to train with a "relative who runs a ninja dojo," which was Ryozo. However, according to Yabako, Ryozo and Izumi's relationship was not very close, after all, they are from the main family and the branch family.
The fourth update is still today.
Section 482, Chapter 476: The Guardian's Guard
"Wow, what a strong little girl." After a couple of moves, Ryozo also gained some understanding of Kanon's strength: "I haven't seen such a fierce fighting style in a long time."
“Then…” Ryozo raised his hand.
Hanon immediately became highly alert: "He's about to make a move!"
However, Ryozo suddenly loosened his fist, and a smoke bomb fell from his palm, hitting the ground and exploding with a "bang," sending up a cloud of smoke.
"Cough cough, what kind of operation is this?" Huayin was choked and hurriedly waved her hand to clear away the mist.
She was still driving "Bu Bao" in case of a surprise attack by Ryozo, but it was all in vain—Ryozo jumped onto the wall after detonating the smoke bomb, then used the momentum of the rebound to accelerate and ran towards the door in one breath.
"Since you can sense the 'qi,' then the disguise won't work anymore. If you want to escape, you'll have to force your way in!"
...Upon first meeting Ryozo, his aversion to trouble and lack of effort were already off the charts. He had no desire to fight a tough battle against an opponent like Kanon.
"Damn, speechless." Hanon was both amused and angry by Ryozo's antics, and hurriedly chased after him. Ryozo's ninjutsu was excellent, but his speed wasn't very fast. The training room was so big, how could Hanon catch up with him...? "Danger!" Hanon was startled and took a half step back. A sword fell from above her head and stuck straight into the floor in front of her.
It turns out that Ryozo's jump towards the wall wasn't for leverage, but to turn the switch on the training room back on, thus stopping Kanon's pursuit.
What a brilliant plan!
"Hehehe, showing off your speed right from the start is a mistake~" Ryozo thought smugly, "Knowing you can unleash such speed, of course I had to find a way to delay your actions, and this practice room was the best choice. The little girl is still too young, lacking combat experience, hahaha...ha?"
A murderous aura emanated from behind Ryozo, drawing ever closer.
As soon as Ryozo turned around, his vision was filled with a huge fist—it was Kanon's heavy blow.
Kanon's fists aren't actually that big, but when Kanon combines her "mind, intention, and energy" into one, the heavy punches she delivers based on the "Exploding Core" technique have an indomitable spirit, demonstrating her determination to destroy everything.
Faced with such a powerful blow, Ryozo Chujian had no choice but to back down.
What's more, the girl in front of him didn't slow down at all. She threw a punch while protecting her head with one hand, completely unafraid of the swords falling from the ceiling. She threw a punch at him despite the rain of swords!
"Eeeeeeeeea—" The sword fell, but Kanon didn't scream; the heavy punch came, but Ryozo didn't scream either. It was Shino, who was standing at the door, who screamed instead.
In an instant, Shino first saw Ryozo throw a smoke bomb and then rush towards the doorway where he was. Then, Kanon chased after Ryozo without dodging the swords. Ryozo dodged, and Kanon's heavy fist came crashing down on his face... Although Kanon stopped at the last moment, as mentioned before, Kanon's heavy fist was incredibly powerful. Shino had been frightened once yesterday, and now, recalling the fear of being dominated by Kanon, he screamed.
"Waaah... Waaah..." The fist stopped, and the strong wind blew Shino's hair, which made the female ninja cry.
Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion" scared Shino so much that her legs went weak and she collapsed. Now, the "Exploding Core" heavy punch has scared her to tears. I wonder how scared Shino will be if another powerful attack appears. Judging from the current situation, it wouldn't be surprising if Shino peed her pants from fright.
The battle will continue, and even more powerful attacks will inevitably follow. After all, although Ryozo is determined to escape, a strong person is still a strong person, and he is completely unharmed.
"Super strength, super speed, super defense..." Ryozo sighed. He had realized the reality: he couldn't easily escape this practice room from Kanon.
"I had planned to run away after a couple of moves, so that I would have something to say if the Ninja Academy investigated later. But since I can't escape, I have no choice but to fight head-on."
"You're only just realizing this?" Hanon walked back to the wall along the path she had come from and shut the mechanism. "Stop with all this nonsense and let's have a fair fight."
"Oh, little girl, you don't understand. Making the fight never happen—that's the highest level of martial arts." Ryozo seemed completely devoid of any martial artist's awareness, spouting utter nonsense: "Uncle hasn't practiced martial arts in years, so please go easy on me!"
Ryozo's response was Kanon's attack, this time not a heavy punch, but a finger razor.
Kanon was not affected by Ryozo's negative attitude and went all out from the start: "Sorry, uncle, I don't quite understand the idea that a good warrior doesn't achieve great feats."
"It's alright, you'll experience it soon~" Ryozo's lips curled into a slight smile. This person wasn't as lazy as he seemed. Just like Izumi in the past, he was sloppy and unkempt, but when facing Kano Awakening, didn't he also give it his all and do his best?
The moment Hanon's "razor" touched Ryozo's body, she felt light and jumped up.
"Huh? This is... let's try again."
After landing, Kanon immediately threw another straight punch. This time, the result was even more exaggerated. With a "bang," a tremendous force of recoil suddenly arose from Ryozo's body, sending Kanon flying five or six steps away!
"Whew, that was great! Let's do it again!"
For her third attack, Kanon circled directly behind Ryozo, twisted her arm muscles, and transformed it into a Rakshasa Palm, aiming straight for the back of Ryozo's head—this was a killing technique. The Rakshasa Palm was incredibly powerful, and since the back of a human's head was unguarded, if it were hit, it would probably explode like a watermelon.
However, Ryozo managed to defend against the attack. He didn't even turn around—he didn't have time to turn around either, as Kanon was too fast. But when the Rakshasa Palm struck Ryozo on the back of the head, it was Kanon who jumped up and tumbled twice in mid-air before regaining her balance.
This time, Kanon stopped and no longer rushed to attack.
"Tsk tsk, don't you want to try again?" Ryozo was a little smug; he wasn't a very calculating person.
"No need, that's enough." Hanon wasn't holding a grudge; her face was beaming with a delighted smile. "Uncle, you said you haven't practiced martial arts in years, but your Aikido is so strong it's like sorcery!"
Ryozo used the ultimate defensive technique of "First Encounter Aikido", called "Guardian of Guard". A martial artist who reaches this level has an Aikido level that is basically equivalent to a weakening and neutralizing force that is effective anytime and anywhere. No, it is even more advanced and can even counterattack the enemy, which is similar to the feeling of Kanon's "Hosen" technique.
When I first met Ryozo's father, Goichiro Tsukami, a master of Aikido, he also reached that level at the age of seventy. How long did it take Ryozo?
