<h4>The Attack on Tenryu Village</h4>


    The sky darkened over Tenryu Village as a chilling wind swept through the streets. The villagers, unaware of the danger approaching, continued their daily routines—until a loud explosion shook the ground.


    BOOM!


    A wave of black flames engulfed the village gates. The Shinsei group had arrived.


    At the front stood Shidou, his Hadara Eyes glowing like two piercing suns in the darkness.


    Behind him, the five other members—Renzai, Zadara, Veydris, Kairo, and Zyren—marched forward, their overwhelming power suffocating the air.


    The Tenryu Village warriors rushed forward to defend their home. Hundreds of trained fighters stood ready, weapons drawn.


    But—


    Shidou raised his hand.


    And in an instant—


    Everything changed.


    A shockwave erupted from his palm, tearing through the battlefield like an unstoppable force. Warriors were blown away like leaves in a storm, their bodies slamming into buildings, crushing bones and shattering walls.


    Screams of agony filled the air.


    Veydris unleashed a deadly shadow technique, swallowing entire squads in black voids.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    Kairo moved at lightning speed, cutting down warriors before they could even react.


    Renzai summoned a storm of spears, impaling defenders one after another.


    Tenryu Village, the home of Raizo, Izuki, and Kenzo, was falling apart.


    Shidou smirked, his eyes scanning the destruction.


    "Now… where is Izuki Raiken?"

    <h4>Izuki’s Training Begins</h4>


    Far from the village, deep within a hidden mountain sanctuary, Izuki stood across from Raizo, his fists clenched.


    His body was exhausted, drenched in sweat from hours of intense training.


    But his eyes burned with determination.


    "Again," Raizo ordered, his voice calm but firm.


    Izuki gritted his teeth and charged forward.


    He swung a blazing punch, infused with the new energy Raizo had taught him to control.


    But—


    Raizo dodged effortlessly, appearing behind him in an instant.


    "Too slow."


    Before Izuki could react, Raizo placed two fingers on Izuki’s forehead—


    And BOOM!


    Izuki was sent flying, crashing into the rocky ground.


    Dust filled the air as Izuki coughed, trying to push himself up.


    "Your anger makes you reckless," Raizo said. "You have power, Izuki, but you must learn to control it."


    Izuki clenched his fists.


    "How do I control it?!" he shouted, frustration burning inside him. "I want to be strong enough to kill Hadara!"


    Raizo’s golden eyes locked onto Izuki’s.


    "If all you seek is revenge, you will fall like the others before you."


    Izuki froze.


    Raizo walked closer, placing a hand on his shoulder.


    "I will teach you techniques that no one else in this world has ever mastered. But first, you must let go of your hatred and focus on your strength."


    Izuki took a deep breath. He still felt the pain of losing his parents, but Raizo was right.


    If he wanted to defeat Hadara and the Shinsei group, he needed more than just anger.


    He needed to become stronger than ever before.


    "Teach me, Master."


    Raizo nodded.


    "Then let’s begin."
