Osaka, Saito's house.

"Father, what did you call me for?" Shinji Saito sat at the bottom and looked at the old man sitting at the top with a respectful expression.

Saito Fukutaro's cloudy eyes looked at his son and said expectantly, "Have you comprehended the sword intent?" ”

Shinji Saito lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Father, I have been in business for many years, and my heart can't calm down. The sword intent is illusory to me, so the sword intent that Yuchi comprehended at the age of twenty-two won the third place in the youth group in this year's Asahi Competition, and when Yuchi is thirty years old, I will let him take over as the head of the family. ”

The current Saito family, Shinji Saito is the head of the family. It's just that he doesn't have talent and likes business.

Fukutaro Saito has two sons.

The eldest son used to be a kendo genius, but when he was young, because he was angry with Tsukahara Miwu of the Tsukahara family, the two signed a life-and-death match, but they lost to Tsukahara Miwu and were stopped and beheaded to death. After the defeat and death, Fukutaro made Shinji Saito the head of the house.

The current Shinji Saito has two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is Saito Yuqi, who comprehended the sword intent at the age of twenty-two and has a good talent, and is now twenty-four years old.

Fukutaro nodded, not disappointed. He had already expected it, but after all, it was his own son, and he still hoped that the other party could comprehend the sword intent. Thinking, he continued to speak, his voice slow, as if every word had been exhausted, "Call your friends back." ”

Shinji Saito looked up in surprise, "Father, Tomoya also has a mission in the Fuming Palace." ”

Fukutaro said coldly, "Every year, the Divine Ghost Fuming Palace asks our family to protect their personal safety and help them exorcise ghosts. The mission is so dangerous, but there is no benefit, is it really when we are a welfare home? ”

The gods and ghosts of Fuming Palace are not good... Saito Shinji has more respect for the gods and ghosts Fumei Palace.

Fumeigu is an organization of onmyoji and shrine maidens located throughout Japan and headquartered in Kyoto, but it is too mysterious and rarely known.

However, after Fukutaro finished speaking, his mood also eased, and he said, "Let Yuqi replace Tomoya." I just got the news that the heir of Yanagi Flying Sword Stream has appeared? ”

"Yes." Shinji Saito said respectfully, "It's all over the Internet now, but it's NHK building momentum for the Jade Dragon Banner, so I don't think there's any need to pay attention to it." ”

"I remember that Tomoya was also a high school student, so let him go to the competition." Fukutaro coughed, and under Zhenji's puzzled eyes, "I have been informed by the Takeda Sword Saint that at the end of this year, he will set up an inheritance in Yuanling Mountain, and at that time, the most powerful person under the age of eighteen will be selected from the eight clans as a successor." ”

"Then there is no need for us to mix with the Jade Dragon Banner, wouldn't it be a show of strength for friends to participate?" Shinji Saito looked puzzled, you must know that his second son Tomoya did not participate in this year's Asahi Competition, and it was his disciples who participated.

Cough...

Fukutaro shook his head, "The Takeda Sword Saint asked to be selected from the eight clans, but he didn't say that it was our current eight clans. ”

You must know that there are hundreds of kendo schools in Japan, and although the Saito family is one of the eight major kendo families today, who knows if there will be some geniuses in other small families that have declined?

At that time, these small families will bring the geniuses of the younger generation to Yuanling Mountain, and their current eight clans will have to compete with these people to determine the final eight clans. Then do a competition to determine the strongest one of the younger generation, in order to get the inheritance of the Takeda Sword Master.

And the Tsukahara family, who got the news, happened to see Kigoro making a lot of nonsense on NHK's show, so he made a decision.

That is, the major schools that are still cultivating the ancient kendo are required to let the younger generation participate in the Jade Dragon Banner.

The Tsukahara family, as a towering mountain in the ancient kendo world, has far-reaching influence in the business and political circles, so no one dares to resist this notice.

As for the purpose of the Tsukahara family, it is also obvious. That is to see if there are any geniuses in other kendo schools today. Make preparations for the inheritance of Yuanling Mountain.

The Zhutian Sword Master gathers the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, and the natural logistics created are amazing. As the strongest kendo family in Japan at the moment, the Tsukahara family naturally doesn't want this inheritance to fall into the hands of others.

I see, Shinji Saito understood.

Father let Peng also participate, and it seems that the other eight clans also hide some powerful disciples. It is estimated that the Jade Dragon Banner is just for all ethnic groups to discuss and prepare for the inheritance of Yuanling Mountain.

As for the Asahi Tournament, it is a competition between the eight major kendo families. It is also to see if there is a strength fault in other families, if it appears, then the family with a strength fault will be eliminated from the Eight Families, and then other rising schools will be pulled into the collective of the Eight Families.

"I understand Father. I will let my friends participate in this year's Jade Dragon Banner. ”

"Hmm... Go ahead. ”

After Shinji Saito went out, he immediately contacted his second son Tomoya. Reveal the Sword Saint Inheritance of Yuanling Mountain, let him perform well in the Jade Dragon Banner, and try to force the strength of the people of other families out to see the situation. It is also good to make a target for the inheritance of the Sword Saint in Yuanling Mountain at the end of the year.

"I see."

His son's young and confident voice came from the phone, and Shinji Saito smiled, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do business as usual." ”

"No, Father! I want the champion of the Jade Dragon Banner, I heard that there is an IH conference during the summer vacation? I'm going to win this championship too. Tomoya Saito's confident voice made Shinji Saito excited, "When the time comes, I will let Lord Takeda know that only I, Tomo Saito, are qualified to receive the inheritance of nature." ”

It's not just the Saito family.

There are also the Tsukahara family, the Yagyu family, the Momoi family, the Sasaki family, the Kondo family, the Ono family, and the Ito family.

In the past two days, many high school kendo clubs across Japan were suddenly stunned.

They found that when the Jade Dragon Banner Tournament was approaching, many students they didn't know before had come to join the kendo club, but these people were extremely powerful, and they didn't know where they came from. And because of their strong strength, they all qualified for the Jade Dragon Banner.

Some high schools that were just trying their luck in the Jade Dragon Flag Contest were ecstatic. Like the members of the kendo club of Sakura Nine High School, they suddenly had a master joining, so they were naturally full of expectations for the Jade Dragon Banner.

Just when the young disciples of all clans joined the kendo club and prepared to compete for the Jade Dragon Banner. Kazuki Kimura's life is as usual, and he teaches Haruo the "rainstorm style" day by day.

And Chunyang's talent surprised him, because Chunyang didn't like to study, so he didn't know how the other party's learning talent was.

But in kendo, the other party does have talent. Coupled with the other party's hard work and diligence, the strength of kendo has improved rapidly.

This made Kimura Kazuki breathe a sigh of relief, and the women's championship seemed to be very promising.

And under this expectation, the county qualifiers of the Jade Dragon Banner have finally arrived.
