Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 307 304. Cultural Festival (8): The Biography of Kanjiro·End
The curtain fell and rose again, and the scene changed to the imperial city.

The lord of the country, wearing a luxurious kimono and a super high tasseled crown, sat on the viewing platform at the back, with solemn and majestic sword-wielding guards on his left and right.

Kanjiro and Hachijo Kazuo walked onto the stage from both sides of the stage and faced each other.

"Domo! I'm Saber Kanjiro in the countryside!!" Kanjiro pulled out his bamboo sword and glared angrily: "I have fully experienced your despicability! Fight me now, don't run away anymore!"

"Domo! Country Saber Kanjiro = San! I am the nobleman of Ashina Kingdom, elegant Saber, Hachijo Kazuo!" Hachijo Kazuo pulled out his sword with force and calmly, and sneered:
"Kanjirou=San, don't try to smear someone's innocence! Now I will fight you to the death in an upright manner and prove that I am the strongest Saber in this country!"

[Although Hachijo Kazuo was shocked by the fact that he failed to kill Kanjiro, he had already learned that one of Kanjiro's arms was injured, so his confidence increased and he believed that he had a chance to win. 】

"Drink! Take the move, Kanjiro = San!!" Hachijo Kazuo shouted and charged with his sword.

"Hey!!" Kanjiro immediately swung his sword to fight back.

[However, to Hachijo Kazuo's expectation, Kanjiro's arms showed no signs of injury at all, and he came forward with swords in both hands! 】

"Aiieeeee! Is the information false?!" Hachijo Kazuo was immediately frightened: "Why! Why did your arm recover?!"

"Of course it's thanks to the healing medicine provided by San, the benevolent swordsman, and my anger towards you!" Kanjiro glared ferociously and launched a fierce attack:
"Hachijo·Ichino=San, be prepared to wake up! The anger I felt when I was assassinated three times, the anger Okada Kazuri=San was used to death by you, the anger you tried to use despicable means to win without a fight, all my anger, Just lick it clean!"

Slash, slash, slash, then Zanshin, then tea ceremony·Zen, then slash again——

"Aiieeeee!!" Hachijo Kazuo was beaten back and forth and was no match for Kanjiro. Gradually, even the remaining energy for him to scream disappeared.

Just like chopping melons and vegetables to torture a weak chicken, Kanjiro easily defeated Hachijo Kazuo.

"Okay! Okay! What a wonderful Bushido entertainment!" The Lord of the Country walked down from the viewing gallery with great joy and applauded Kanjiro:
"Kanjiro=San, you defeated Hachijo Kazuo=San! You are qualified to bear the title and status of Ashina Kingdom's number one swordsman!"

"It's an honor!!" Kanjiro bowed to the Lord of the Country: "However, I have something to report to you, Lord of the Country = Sama!"

"What's the matter?" asked the Great Lord.

"Hachijo·Ichino=San is actually a despicable villain. He sent three robbers to attack me on my way to the imperial city in an attempt to assassinate me." Kanjiro took out a token of the Hachijo family from his pocket :
"This was given to me by Ichisato Okada before he died. He identified Hachijo Kazuo as the employer who sent him to assassinate me."

"You actually have the token of the Hachijo family. It seems that what you said is true." The Lord of the Country stared at the token of the Hachijo family and nodded slightly.

"Kingdom=San! Kanjiro is lying!" Hachijo Kazuo got up from the ground and struggled: "I did not send an assassin to kill him! All of this is his own words, and they are all fabricated! This He must have stolen the token too!”

"You say this is just one person's words?" Kanjiro sneered and said, "I have a witness!"

"Witness? Who?!" Hachijo Kazuo said in panic.

"It's the old man!" At this moment, the benevolent swordsman came out:
"I testify that what Kanjiro San said is true, every word is true!"

"You are the Benevolent Swordsman!" Okuninushi and Hachijo Kazuo recognized this person at the same time, and other background actors on the stage also shouted together in shock.

"I am not strong enough and was almost killed by an assassin on the way. Fortunately, I was saved by the benevolent swordsman =San!" Kanjiro said:

"He voluntarily came to the Imperial City with me to expose the despicable deeds of Hachijou Yinan=San!"

"That's right." The benevolent swordsman nodded.

"So that's it. Since the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, Hachijou and Ichiman = San, you can't defend yourself at all!" The Lord of the Country stroked his fake beard: "Put Hachijou and Ichio in jail, and he will be sentenced to death at eight points per village on another day!"

"Lord Lord = Sama! Spare your life! I repent! I sincerely repent! Please be more open! Aiieeee! Sayonara!!!" Hachijo Kazuo screamed miserably and was dragged off the stage by two soldiers.

Then, the lord of the country looked at Kanjiro again and announced: "You defeated Hachijo Kazuo and won the title of the best swordsman of Ashina Kingdom, and I will not break your promise! From now on, you will be the best swordsman of Ashina Kingdom." General, as long as you serve me, you will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth!"

However, Kanjiro bowed slightly and said: "Please allow me to refuse, Okuninushi=Sama!"

"Why? Did I not give enough?" The great king was quite surprised:

"[Greed is a taboo for swordsmen!], Miyamoto Musashi, a great swordsman and strategist in the Warring States Period, said this motto. You must be able to recall it involuntarily, right?"

"It's not greedy, Grand Lord =Sama!" Kanjiro shook his head and said: "It is precisely because you have given me so much that I have to refuse."

"What does this mean?" The great king was puzzled.

"The whole world is the land of the king. However, with what the king can do, how can he protect the common people in the world?" Kanjiro replied:
"After all, there are suffering people in this world who are ignored by the king. I am willing to give up my glory and wealth, follow the ambition of the benevolent swordsman = San, and become a wandering swordsman who travels the rivers and lakes and fights for the suffering people."

Hearing this, the Great Lord couldn't help laughing: "It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! I thought you were just greedy, but I didn't expect you were ignorant!"

After saying that, the Great Lord clapped his hands, and several soldiers holding bamboo swords surrounded him.

"What does this mean, Grand Lord = Sama?" Kanjiro asked in confusion.

"You and the benevolent swordsman are exactly the same, the same fools!" The Great Lord said coldly: "The benevolent swordsman made the same decision when he was named the first swordsman by me. What I regret most is letting him go!”

"Such a powerful swordsman is allowed to roam the world without being under my control! Such a dangerous person will sooner or later become a serious problem for me! And now, how can I allow you to become a threat to me? !”

"I have no intention of threatening the rule of the country's lord = Sama!" Kanjiro hurriedly defended: "I just want to help the poor people, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

"How do you know what you are thinking when you say this?" The great king said proudly: "It just so happens that even the benevolent swordsman is in the imperial city today, so I will kill both of you!!"

The surrounding soldiers were getting closer and closer, gradually forming an encirclement.

"It's no use talking anymore, just get out." The benevolent swordsman drew his sword directly and charged at the soldiers:
"Get out of the way! Ah!!"

"Guah! So strong! Sayunara!!" The soldiers were no match for the benevolent swordsman and were beaten back steadily. "We can only fight." Kanjiro also drew his sword and drove away the soldiers who tried to arrest him.

"This level alone cannot stop us, Grand Lord =Sama!" The benevolent swordsman's eyes were as sharp as a razor.

"Of course, the benevolent swordsman = San! I know this very well!" The great king pulled out the bamboo sword from his waist and came forward.

"You want to stop us with your own hands?" The Benevolent Swordsman asked: "But your strength is far from enough!"

"I know it well, so I found a helper this time!" said the great king.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man wearing a vagabond costume broke into the stage, brandishing a bamboo sword and attacked the benevolent swordsman.

"Who are you?" The intruder swung his sword very fast, and the benevolent swordsman was unable to defend himself in the battle with the guards.

"Domo! The benevolent swordsman = San! Ahem, is that how you greet me?" The intruder saluted very politely, coughed a few times, and then introduced himself:
"Natural Rishin-ryu Okita Souji! I am living here, and I accidentally received a meal from the country's lord = Sama, so I fight you here! Please enlighten me!"

The actor who plays "Okita Souji" is naturally Harumasa Harumasa, the consultant teacher of the Kendo Club, who is also the hidden final boss of this stage play. Teacher Zaihara is also a practitioner of Natural Rishin-ryu in reality, and has already reached the level of Fuyo Kyden.

At the same time, the audience in the audience was also surprised by this sudden super expansion:

"Isn't this the Heian period? Why is there Okita Souji?"

"Souji Okita was a swordsman during the Tokugawa period, right! Haven't you learned the history of screenwriting?"

"Don't be embarrassed, Okita Souji did appear during the Heian period! This matter has been recorded in the "Type/Moon History"!"

"Is that actor the club teacher of the Kendo Club? He looks so handsome!"

"But he is so sick that he can't even stand still. Does it really matter?"

"Why a man? I remember Okita Souji is not a sickly and beautiful girl?"

"."

"Natural Rishin-ryu Okita Souji = San is a name I have never heard of before! In this case, I have to take it seriously!" The swordsman of Renren became serious, pulled out a short wooden sword from his waist, and changed it to the Niten First-class style. dual-wielding stance.

"Ahem. Up!" Chief Okita drew his sword and approached.

Natural Rishin-ryu is a kendo style that emphasizes adapting to circumstances and reacting naturally to the enemy's movements. This sect coincides with the "wind forest and volcano" mentioned in the art of war, that is, moving like the wind, moving slowly like the forest, attacking like fire, and staying still like a mountain. It combines many factors such as the right time, place, people, etc., to guide the battle towards oneself. favorable situation.

And Teacher Zaihara is a master who has cultivated the Natural Rishin-ryu to the level of mastery and possesses the Immortal All-in-One School.

Just a few moves made the audience applaud - compared to the fancy fists and embroidered legs performed by the student actors before, this is the wonderful swordsmanship that a professional swordsman can show!

However, the benevolent swordsman is also not a good person. Although he wields both long and short knives, what he uses is definitely not Niten's first-class swordsmanship, but a street fighting technique similar to Barton's technique (a combination of stick technique and fighting technique), which is also mixed with various other street fighting techniques. Fighting skills.

Although Natural Rishin-ryu focuses on adapting to changes, it seems a little powerless in the face of Kyushu Makoto, an enemy who is too "random".

While Okita Souji was fighting fiercely with the Benevolent Swordsman, on the other side of the stage, Kanjiro and Okuninushi were also dueling.

The actor who plays the role of Lord Okuno is the minister of swordsmanship. He is not very talented but has rich experience. Kanjiro plays the role of the deputy minister. In a sense, this battle is also a "minister handover ceremony". After all, the kendo minister is already in his third year of high school and will graduate and leave next year.

"Show me your strength, Kanjiro=San! Don't let me down!" Okuninushi swung his sword and said, "Wow!!"

"I am extremely happy, let's fight, Lord =Sama!" Kanjiro swung his sword to meet the attack and shouted passionately: "Eaah!!"

This was the most intense 2V2 melee in the whole show. Both sides showed their superb swordsmanship skills, and the audience enjoyed watching it.

And the final result is naturally——

"Ahem, I lost. The benevolent swordsman = San!" Souji Okita half-knelt on the ground, using his bamboo sword to support the ground: "I am convinced that I lost."

In fact, Teacher Zaihara barely let off steam, and he and Kyushu Makoto had a great time playing.

In the end, Teacher Zaihara was just careless, and Kyushu Makoto used a short sword with one hand to open the sword in his hand, and was then executed with a long sword in the other hand. This is an off-beat move that does not belong to kendo. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you lose.

"What an admirable opponent, Okita Souji=San!" The benevolent swordsman took back his bamboo sword and smiled: "I will probably never forget you in this life!"

On the other side, the Great Lord was half-kneeling on the ground, and the prepared prop plasma flowed out of the corner of his mouth:
"Why. Why do you insist on going your own way and not fulfilling my king's wishes? The Benevolent Swordsman = San, it's all your fault! It's you who have caused this country to have another [Benevolent Swordsman]! This king can't sleep at night!"

"No, Lord of the Kingdom = Sama!" The Benevolent Swordsman came over and said coldly: "How many [Benevolent Swordsmen] there are in Ashina Kingdom is not decided by me, but by you, Lord of the Kingdom = Sama!”

"Well" upon hearing this, the great king was struck by thunder and fell into extreme entanglement and self-doubt. After a moment, he suddenly understood and laughed heartily:

"It's really irrefutable. The benevolent swordsman. Haha! Kanjiro, the benevolent swordsman, I can't stop you! You can leave now! Do what you think is right!"

"Being able to understand this proves that you still have the qualifications to become a wise king. I will take my leave now." The benevolent swordsman turned and left.

"I'm most pleased! And please take care of yourself, Okuninushi = Sama!" Kanjiro bowed slightly and left with the benevolent swordsman.

[In this way, Kanjiro and the Benevolent Swordsman left the imperial city and wandered around the world. They became knights who served the country and the people and cared about the world, and were famous throughout the ages! ! 】

[Congratulations, congratulations, the whole drama is over! ! ! 】
