Chapter 5:
The Tale of a Thousand Lies Volume 2
“ready…. Fight!”
Then the fight begins as both haven’t yet moved from their positions and just stare at each other on who will move first. Rod then slowly approaches to matsushi as he becomes wary of rods actions. then matsushi strikes first with a thrust where rod blocks it with his sword pushing it to the side and swings his other arm towards matsushis head.
Then he kneels down to avoid rods sword hitting in the neck where it was followed by rod swinging once more about to strangle him instead but was countered by a thrust to the side. Then rod dodges by moving the hips to the side before rod put both swords to his neck.
The match was rods win where it was for the best of 3 matches. Sasuke then declares rod as the winner for the first match and readies for the next one. Then matsushi attacks with a slash for the second match where it was countered with one sword as an upper block and a thrust to the stomach. Rod then stopped his attack midway declaring rod for another win.
Though it was clearly another win for rod, matsushi then grabbed another sword where he also imitates rod with dual swords and readies himself for battle. Rod then puts another fighting stance where matsushi now launches another thrust with one sword and rod blocks it with one sword. Rod then slides forward, creating sparks for both swords as rod rotates his wrist to change but matsushi thrusts with his other sword in the stomach where rod blocks it again with his other sword.
With both men giving a loud roar, rod overpowers matsushi by rotating both swords while pushing forward once more, sliding both swords to matsushis throat like a scissor. With both helmets touching each other, matsushi feels the two blades now touching his throat.
As rod backs off, the match was then his win as he bows later to matsushi. It was then the sunrise as matsushi thought of a new dawn.
“boy, its definitely my defeat. I could but also couldn’t read your movements back there, as if you had no style of your own” Matsushi said as he touches his neck
“yes. By the time you said dojo, I thought about a test of strength between warriors.”
“your correct. With this, I can rest as I will give my own daughter to you.”
“what?!” rod and his men said
“this has been our tradition ever since our ancestors for them to test if their daughters would be fit to marry.” Kaori spoke in japanese which rod understood directly
“whoa.. wait a minute, I really thought..” rod
“you refuse to marry my daughter? Then to what do I owe payment for saving her! With this, you now have control over the entire yakuza clan as I will leave it in your hands.”
“hold on a minute, we only just came here for information.” Sasuke said in order to resolve the situation
“shut up insolent fool! Refusing this offer would be a total disgrace to our clan! Do you really want to start a war?!”
Rod and his men backed away for a bit at the statement
“r-rod san.. please take her..” sasuke said as he grabbed his shoulder
“i-idiot! You just revealed my identity! Damn it!” rod said to sasuke who was cowering in fear of whats about to come
“why would you refuse rod san? Im i not enough?” kaori said with a serious face
“to tell you the truth, he already has ,many girls. I saw in his house of a picture with all of them.” Sasuke
“wha—“ kaori
“now your cowering in fear there sasuke san. Please don’t reveal private information—“
“but they were gonna start a war if we don’t—“
“doesn’t mean that you should reveal them. Gosh.” Rod did a face palm
“no matter how many wives you have got, i will still offer my daughter since it is the only honourable way left.”
“father!” kaori said angrily
“ugh.. this has become a mess.” Rod then got his helmet off to reveal his true face
“that settles it! The marriage will start tomorrow!”
“maybe after some rest, please.” Rod said with the inevitable
“okay then, after some rest.”
Then from the back of the audience who was crying for happiness, matsuhiro shows up clapping his hands.
“congratulations boy, you finally have fulfilled my last wish. And not only that, you will also reunite the yakuza for a new dawn.” Matsuhiro
“oh boy.” Rod said as he gulped
