There are three clans in the Izumo area, namely Matsue clan, Murato clan, and Hirose clan to which Ogata belongs.
In such a vast land like Izumo, Sakakihara Denichiro is called "Izumo Unparalleled" - one can only imagine how strong Sakakihara Denichiro is.
"When my brother was young, in order to hone his sword skills, he began to travel around and challenge masters from all over the world."
The look of memories on Hanbei's face became more intense.
"My brother has gradually made a name for himself by relying on his own talent and strength, and he has gradually been dubbed the 'Izumo Unparalleled' by people."
"However...not long after my brother got the reputation of 'Izumo Warriors', he met a...very weird guy."
"The encounter between brother and this weird guy was completely accidental."
"The two were just walking opposite each other on a narrow road, but when the guy passed by his brother, he accidentally bumped into his shoulder."
"My brother's biggest shortcoming is that he has a bad temper."
"After being hit on the shoulder by that guy, my brother immediately aggressively asked the guy to apologize quickly."
"If that guy is willing to bow his head obediently and apologize, this little matter can be let go."
"It's just that that guy not only didn't apologize..."
"He also challenged his brother: 'Shouldn't you be the one who should apologize? No matter how you look at it just now, you are the one who should avoid it, right?'"
"I don't remember whether that guy's original words were like this. In short, what the guy said at that time roughly meant this."
"Ogata, you should have guessed what happened next."
"My brother was so angry that he immediately pulled out his knife and wanted to fight that guy."
"My brother was in a high-spirited time when he won consecutive battles and was dubbed the 'Izumo Unparalleled'."
"My brother was quite confident at that time."
"I am very confident in my swordsmanship."
"I am very confident that I can teach this rude person a lesson."
"But who knows...brother will soon stop laughing..."
"After my brother drew his sword, that guy also drew his sword."
"That guy pulled out his katana and his wakizashi in one breath."
"Ever since the swordsmanship of the Two-Sword Style appeared, it has had a long history."
"But there are very few people who can master an 'evil sword' like the Two-Sword Style."
"That was the first time my brother faced off against a two-sword swordsman."
"But my brother, who was confident at that time, still didn't take that guy seriously after seeing him pull out his double swords."
"Confidently believing that no matter how many knives this guy pulls out, he will be the one who wins."
"Then...after about two breaths, the outcome of this battle will be known."
"Brother has no power to fight back."
"That guy defeated his brother who was already an 'Izumo Musou' with just one blow."
"That was the first time that my brother was defeated since he traveled around the world."
"It was also the worst defeat ever."
"After defeating his brother, the guy gave this book to his brother."
Speaking of this, Hanbei pursed his lips towards the book Ogata was holding.
"Huh?" Ogata looked at the book in his hand, "That guy is so good, why did he suddenly send him a book?"
"That's why I said he was a weirdo..."
After sighing softly, Hanbei continued:
"This book contains the two-sword-style 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. It records the two-sword sword technique I used. See if you can participate in it.
Enlightenment'."
"After leaving these words, the man walked away."
Hearing this, Ogata felt that he was confused.
After listening to the master's story, Ogata also felt - that guy is too strange.
After cutting the opponent down with a single blow, he gave the opponent a secret book recording his sword skills - this kind of behavior was simply incomprehensible in Ogata's eyes.
The story of Hanbei Sakakihara is not finished yet.
"Since that guy walked away, brother, he has never seen that guy again."
"The impact of this confrontation on my brother was huge."
"My originally unruly and violent personality has become much more restrained. My personality has become much calmer."
"If the previous brother was the queen of a sharp sword, then since his tragic defeat at the hands of that guy, the brother has learned to hide the cold light and the sharp edge."
"Perhaps because his mentality and personality have become much more stable, after a few years, my brother finally integrated all the swordsmanship he knew and created a new style that is unique to him - Sakakibara Itto-ryu."
"So from a certain point of view, my brother and I both have to thank that weird two-sword swordsman. If he hadn't shattered my brother's arrogant self-confidence, otherwise my brother might not have been able to create a new one in the future.
school."
"And my brother has been studying and studying this book since he got it from the hands of the two-sword swordsman."
"In order to master the sword skills recorded in this book."
"But until my brother died of illness, he still failed to master this 'selfless sword style'."
"On the eve of my brother's death, he entrusted me with this book."
"It was only then that I learned from my brother's mouth that he had been defeated by an unknown swordsman of the Two Swords style in the past."
"After I got this book from my brother, I have been studying the 'No Self Two Sword Style'."
"It's a pity..."
Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Hanbei's face.
"My talent is dull...I can't even understand what this book is talking about..."
"Even now, my hair is gray, and I still haven't mastered even a single move of the 'Wuwo Sword Style'."
"But I really wouldn't be willing to keep this book in the cabinet gathering dust..."
"It's like guarding a mountain of gold in vain, but unable to dig out gold from this mountain of gold."
"So, I made up my mind a long time ago - I will entrust this book to the most talented disciples in our library in the future."
"Let's see if the most talented disciple in our academy can master one and a half moves of this two-sword style sword technique that once defeated my brother with one move."
"I originally planned to entrust this book to Mikami."
"But now, I have changed my mind."
Hanbei straightened his slightly bent waist.
All excess emotions were removed from his face, leaving only a serious expression.
"Ogata, I have already decided - I will entrust you with the 'Musama Two Sword Style'!"
