Now 18, Akuzai had completed his studies and traveled to India for a holiday. There, he met a kind-hearted girl named Yukika. They quickly grew close, and after some time, Akuzai brought her to his peaceful village of Renkai.
But peace was short-lived. One night, the Akushin Clan returned in full force. During the attack, Yukika was struck. In that moment of rage and pain, a glowing sword burst from Akuzais chest, instantly killing the attacker. Within seconds, he moved like lightning, slaying 150 enemies.
After the battle, the village elders told Akuzai about a warrior who lived in the jungle. That warrior, they said, was his father. When Kaien came to the village, he recognized Akuzai at once—memories returning. He whispered with awe, "Thats… my son."
