I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 72: That night and the profound meaning that Master never taught

Into the night.

Endo Nakato dreams of that afternoon that changed his life again.

As the knife plunged into the man, he heard his mother scream and cry.

Mother rushed over, hugged the dying man, and dragged him desperately to keep him away from Endo.

Endo Zhongren didn't understand, didn't understand why his mother wanted to protect this man who beat and scolded her all day long and often didn't go home at night.

But one thing he understood was that he was strong enough to take away the lives of others at will.

Master's last teaching before his death echoed in Endo's ears: "Swordsmen need to step over the corpse of the enemy to grow."

Is the fallen man in front of you an enemy? Yes, obviously, every day when this man comes back, he puts his anger at the company on his mother, beating and cursing, "I saved your stray **** and your wild child."

Ever since Endo Zhongren can remember, this man has not changed his swearing words.

In the past, Endo Nakato practiced swordsmanship with his master and came back very late. Most of the time when he got home, the man was already asleep.

But since the death of the master, Endo Nakato was kicked out by the uncle who inherited the dojo.

"Your sword carries an evil spirit, I can't leave you in our dojo," the uncle, who has become the chief teacher of the dojo, looked at Endo Zhongren coldly, "I also want to take back the gift from my brother. Your rattan pattern, from now on, your rattan pattern is not allowed to appear in your pattern."

After the uncle finished speaking, Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother rushed up and held Endo Zhongren, and then the gentle third Senior Sister took scissors and cut off the coat of arms on Endo Zhongren's Taoist uniform One piece - that's the part of the vine pattern that the master gave him.

Endo Nakato cried heart-breakingly at the time, but now that I think about it, I don't feel distressed at all.

He even threw away the rest of the code tattoo, which was once a treasure.

The current Endo Zhongren is a homeless wild dog.

Especially after stabbing the knife into the man's heart, he even lost his last place to stay.

Endo Nakato stopped looking at the woman who had become a stranger because of his hysteria, and walked out with a **** knife.

At the time he lived on the fourth floor of a six-story apartment building, an entire floor filled with office workers.

Nakato Endo opened the door, entered the corridor, and walked forward step by step.

On his left are the closed doors.

To his right is Tokyo's night sky, where the stars are blinded by neon lights.

Endo Nakato walked to the stairwell step by step, he didn't know where he was going, he only remembered the last words of Master.

The swordsman grows by stepping on the corpse of the enemy.

He needs enemies, he needs corpses.

To become an invincible swordsman.

As for why he wants to become an invincible swordsman, that is of course because he has nothing but this now.

He moved forward step by step, holding a **** knife in his hand.

Suddenly, the uncle of the landlord ran up the stairs with a baseball bat in his hand.

The first thing he did when he went upstairs was to shout, "What's going on? Who's shouting? Do you know what time it is?"

Then Uncle Landlord saw Endo Nakato with a sharp blade in his hand.

"Endo? What's wrong with you? Put the knife down! Quick!"

Uncle yells at Endo Zhongren.

—is the enemy!

Endo rushed forward, swiftly and ruthlessly.

But because he didn't consider that the knife in his hand was the kitchen knife at home and was too short, the landlord didn't burp the fart immediately, but covered the wound and ran away while making a pig-slaughtering sound, leaving a place behind bright red.

Endo Zhongren did not pursue.

This person is so bad that he doesn't even have the qualifications to be an enemy.

Endo moved on, went downstairs, and followed the road in front of the apartment.

Everyone who saw him on the road fled in panic, none of them worth fighting for.

Until he encounters a patrolman on a bicycle.

"Stop!" the patrolman shouted, aiming his gun at Endo, and at the same time reporting on the walkie-talkie, "I found the prisoner named by the police, who is about thirteen to fourteen years old, with a sharp weapon..."

Endo rushed out, the kitchen knife in his hand reflecting the lights of the Tokyo Tower in the distance.

The patrolman was shocked and pulled the trigger in a panic——

Endo tilted his head to avoid the first shot, and then he slammed his right foot on the ground, forcibly reversed the direction of the attack, and avoided the second shot of the patrol officer.

The bullet bounced off the road and shattered a street lamp in the distance—

The kitchen knife was cut in the hands of the patrolman.

"Ahhhh!" the patrolman screamed.

But the knife slashed at the watch and failed to cut off the patrolman's hand.

The gun fell to the ground, but there was a chain attached to the holster on the patrolman's belt.

Endo tried to pick up the gun, but several police officers on bicycles had arrived in the distance.

"Surround him! He attacked the police! Feel free to use firearms!"

Endo didn't even think about it, he turned his head and ran.

But after running for a few blocks, Endo saw the police cordon.

Flickering lights illuminate Endo's face, and a loud horn screeching to persuade him to surrender: "You are surrounded! Put down your weapons now! Stop resisting!"

Endo Nakato stops.

Even at night, he can clearly see the weapons in the hands of the police.

Behind the blocking line of police cars, an armored bus just stopped, and the heavily armed Tokyo Special Task Force members filed out.

—This is without a doubt the enemy.

Endo Nakato clenched the knife in his hand.

If I kill everyone present, I will definitely enter a new realm as a swordsman.

Maybe I can feel a little bit of the hem of Master's cloak.

Just as Endo was preparing to burn himself for the last time, the man appeared.

The man was wearing the windbreaker that the detectives liked in the detective drama, and walked out of the police cordon with an umbrella, all the way to Endo Nakato.

The lights of the police car and the flashing police lights came from behind him, framing him, but the lights were too bright, leaving the man's face in relative darkness.

Only the faint red glow from the smoke on the man's mouth illuminated the sparse beard around his mouth.

Endo Nakato realized that it was raining at this time.

"Isn't this just a child, thirteen years old? Or fourteen years old? To use a gun to deal with such a child, the big man above is too nervous." The man's voice came through the rain screen.

After all, he threw the cigarette on the ground, then changed the umbrella in his left hand to his right, and put away the umbrella.

As he tucked the umbrella into a stick and tied it up, he continued: "I don't know what happened to you, but I can't let you walk down the street like this, it's my job.

"Our Police Department's pork chop rice is delicious. Many children like it. Would you like one?"

Endo Nakato rushed directly to the detective, this time he took into account the length of the knife, he would definitely be able to kill him with one blow...

The next moment, Endo's hand holding the knife was hit by the umbrella, and the powerful force directly knocked his knife off-

Endo didn't even see what the detective was doing, his field of vision was filled with the hem of the windbreaker flying up.

Between the electric light and flint, the knife fell on the ground and the rain splashed on the detective's leather shoes.

Endo Nakato landed on the ground a few steps away.

He wanted to crawl towards his knife, and then the sound of dense footsteps immediately surrounded him, and a pair of large hands pressed Endo's face to the ground from behind, his cheeks pressed against the rain-soaked ground.

"Let go of me!" Endo shouted instinctively.

However, this one had the opposite effect, the hand pressing his head harder, his cheeks pressed closer to the ground, and the mouth was deformed and cracked a small gap, mixed with muddy rainwater pouring into him mouth.

At this time, the voice of the man in the trench coat entered his ears: "Don't be so heavy, you're just a child. Although you exercise well, you're just a child."

No, Endo thought, I'm the strongest disciple of Master, and I should have won!

I didn't win because-

Endo's mind slowly replayed what had just happened in that moment.

In terms of technique, I should be better on my side, but the detective was much faster than Endo expected.

This shouldn't be-because in martial arts, the young will always have an advantage over the old. How could a thirteen-year-old child lose to a fifty-year-old criminal police officer in sheer speed?

At this moment, Endo Nakato understands that this is the integration of mind and skill that Master said. This criminal policeman, like his master, has mastered this mysterious and mysterious martial art.

It's the reason why Master didn't give him the exemption!

"Until you realize the unity of mind and skill, I won't give you all the promises, Endo! So you have to work hard." Master once said so!

Endo Nakato stares at the detective, he wants to get the secret of the unity of mind and skill!

As long as I can defeat this detective in the future, I will definitely understand——

So, Endo remembered what the police called the detective.

——White Bird Detective.

Later, Endo managed to get his full name:

Shiratori

This is the name that ~IndoMTL.com~ gave to the detective who gave Endo's fiasco that night.

It is also the name of the detective that Endo Nakato wants to defeat.

Here, Endo suddenly woke up from his dream.

He sits up and says the name silently.

The National Championship, he is returning to Tokyo.

Then he wants to kill a guy named Kiryu and Ma—perhaps this guy also understands what it means to combine mind and skill. He wants to torture the corpses of Kiryu and Ma to find out secrets and learn the secrets that Master has never told.

Then, he will stand in front of the detective and beat him again.

Then, he will become stronger.

The current Endo Zhongren has nothing but a growing obsession.

But this obsession is enough, he wants nothing else.
