Izumo is a region of Japan.

There were three feudal domains in the Izumo area: the Matsue Domain, the Musato Domain, and the Hirose Domain, to which Ogata belonged.

In such a vast land as Izumo, Sakakihara Denichiro is called "Izumo Matchless" - you can imagine how strong Sakakihara Denichiro is.

"When my brother was young, in order to hone his sword skills, he began to travel all over the world and challenge masters from all over the world."

The color of memory on the face of the half-guard became more and more intense.

"With his own talent and his own strength, my brother gradually made his own name, and gradually became known as 'Izumo Unmatched'."

"And yet...... Not long after his brother received the nickname 'Izumo Muso', his brother met a ...... Very quirky guys. ”

"My brother's encounter with this strange guy was completely accidental."

"The two of them just walked opposite each other on a narrow road, except that the guy accidentally bumped into his brother's shoulder when he passed by him."

"My brother's biggest flaw is that he is too short-tempered."

"After being hit on the shoulder by that guy, my brother immediately demanded that guy apologize quickly."

"If that guy is willing to bow his head and apologize, this little thing can be passed like this."

"It's just that not only did that guy not apologize......"

"He also provoked his brother and said, 'Shouldn't you be the one who should apologize?' No matter how you look at it just now, you're the one who should be avoided, right? ’”

"I don't remember if that guy said it at the time, but that's what the guy said at the time."

"You can probably guess what happened next."

"The angry brother directly pulled out the knife and wanted to duel with that guy."

"At that time, my brother won consecutive battles and was dubbed 'Izumo Unequaled', and he was in high spirits."

"My brother was quite confident at that time."

"I'm very confident in my swordsmanship."

"I'm confident that I'll be able to teach this rude person a good lesson."

"But who knows...... The elder brother soon stopped laughing......"

"After the brother drew the knife, the guy drew the knife too."

"The guy pulled out his knife and his slasher in one fell swoop."

"The swordsmanship of Erdaoliu has had a long history since it appeared."

"But very few people can master this kind of 'evil sword' like the Second Sword Stream."

"At that time, it was the first time my brother had played against a second-sword swordsman."

"But the confident brother at that time, after seeing that guy pull out his double knife, he still didn't take that guy seriously."

"Confidently believing that no matter how many knives this guy pulls out, the one who will emerge victorious will be him."

And then ...... After about 2 breaths, the outcome of the battle was clear. ”

"My brother has no way to fight back."

"That guy only used one blow to defeat his brother, who was already 'Izumo Muso' at the time."

"That was the first time my brother had been defeated since he traveled far and wide."

"At the same time, it was also the worst defeat."

"After defeating my brother, the guy gave him the book."

Speaking of this, Hanbei nodded at the book he was holding in his hand.

"Huh?" Ogata looked at the book in his hand, "That guy is so dignified, why did he suddenly send books?" ”

"That's why I said it was a weirdo......"

After a light sigh, the half-guard continued:

"In this book, there is a record of the two-sword swordsmanship used by that guy."

"After the guy threw the book to his brother, he said, 'You are quite talented, I wrote this book myself, and it records the two-sword sword technique I used, you can see if you can understand it.'"

After leaving these words, the man walked away.

Hearing this, Ogata felt like he was already confused.

After listening to the master's story, Ogata also felt that that guy was too strange.

After slashing his opponent with a sword, he gave him a secret book of the swordsmanship he used—this act was incomprehensible to Ogata's eyes.

The story of Sakakibara Hanbei is not yet finished.

"Brother hasn't seen that guy since he left."

"This duel has a great impact on my brother."

"The original unruly and irascible personality has converged a lot. The character has become much calmer. ”

"If the previous brother was a sharp knife, then since the fiasco was defeated by that guy, the brother has learned to hide the cold light and the edge."

"Perhaps because his mentality and personality have become much more stable, after a few years, my brother finally mastered all kinds of swordsmanship and created a new genre that belongs to him - Sakakiwara Ichito-ryu."

"So from a certain point of view, my brother and I have to thank that eccentric second-class swordsman, if it weren't for him shattering his brother's unbeatable self-confidence, otherwise my brother might not be able to create a new genre in the future."

"And my brother has been studying and studying this book since he got this book from the hands of that second-class sword master."

"In the hope of mastering the swordsmanship recorded in this book."

"But until my brother died of illness, my brother didn't master this 'selfless two knife stream'."

"On the eve of my brother's death, he entrusted me with this book."

"It was only then that I learned from my brother that he had been defeated by an unknown second-rate swordsman."

"After getting this book from my brother, I have been studying this 'selfless and two-knife stream'."

"It's a pity ......"

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on the half-guard's face.

"My talent is dull...... I didn't even understand what this book was talking about......"

"Until now, I have gray hair, and I haven't been able to master the one-and-a-half-move of this 'selfless two knife flow'."

"But if I keep this book in the cabinet dusty, I really don't want to ......"

"It's like guarding a mountain of gold, but you can't dig gold out of it."

"So, I made up my mind a long time ago that I would entrust this book to the most talented disciple in our library in the future."

"Let's see if the most talented disciple in our hall can comprehend this one-and-a-half-move set of two-sword swordsmanship that once defeated my brother with one move."

"Originally, I was going to entrust this book to Mikami."

"But now, I've changed my mind."

The half-guards straightened their waists, which had been a little bent.

The excess emotions on his face are also removed, leaving only a serious look.

"Ogata, I've already decided—I'm going to entrust you with the 'No Self Two Knife Stream'!"
