<h4>Shidou’s Departure</h4>


    The sky was dark—the ruins of Tenryu Village lay in ashes.


    Raizo, Kenzo, and Izuki stood silently, the weight of defeat pressing on them.


    Then, Shidou smirked.


    "This is not the time for battle."


    His Hadara Eyes pulsed with power.


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    "I will give you some time to prepare."


    And with that—


    Shidou teleported away.


    <h4>The Next Step</h4>


    Izuki clenched his fists.


    "We have to rebuild Tenryu Village."


    Raizo turned to him.


    "I will handle that. But you… you need to train."


    Izuki frowned. "Okay… but with whom?"


    Raizo’s expression hardened.


    "With Master Kofi."


    Izuki’s eyes widened.


    Master Kofi?


    The legendary warrior who had mastered a secret art of combat?


    Izuki nodded. "Alright… I’ll do it."


    As Raizo prepared to rebuild Tenryu Village—


    Izuki set out on a new journey… one that would change him forever.
