Chapter 360 - Is He A Ninja?

Shishio and Shibukawa had decided to fight.

Shibukawa still remembered Tokugawa's words before, and as long as Shishio agreed, he could fight him.

'Let me show you the difference in our experience, boy!'

While Shibukawa must admit that Shishio might be better in terms of physical ability, he didn't believe that Shishio would win against him in terms of experience, so at this moment, he didn't hesitate and threw the geta from his feet toward Mai!

Shishio was still hugging Mai's waist at that moment, but suddenly he saw Shibukawa throw his geta on his feet right into Mai's face!

Mai was dumbfounded, and she couldn't react, watching the geta about to hit her face.

Shibukawa's actions also dumbfounded Tokugawa, but inwardly, he knew that Shibukawa had messed up!

However, Shibukawa's trick didn't end since he also threw his glasses toward Mai again.

The geta and the glasses were about to hit Mai. However, the geta was caught by Shishio and threw toward the glasses that were about to approach Mai.

The sound of the collision of the glasses and the geta were heard.

The trajectory of the two items was changed, and they were redirected into Shibukawa's direction, which made him dumbfounded!

The lens of the glasses shattered, sending several pieces of broken glasses into Shibukawa's eyes which made him subconsciously close his eyes, but even so, some pieces of the broken glasses entered his eyes!

"Arrghh!!!"

Shibukawa wanted to turn and clean up his eyes, but suddenly the frame of his glasses hit his nose directly, causing him to have a nosebleed!

"Arg!"

Shibukawa screamed in pain as tears gushed out from his eyes!

If the frame hit his nose normally, then Shibukawa wouldn't react so much, but the frame hit his infraorbital nerve, which caused him to sharp, shooting, and tingling pain.

Still, Shibukawa's torture didn't end, especially when the geta that he was thrown before hit his balls, giving him indescribable pain!

"ARGGGG!!!"

Shibukawa dropped to the ground directly as he held his balls in pain, rolling around on the ground. The impact of his balls against his geta was powerful, and without a doubt, Shishio had an intention to bust his balls!

Luckily, Shishio didn't do that, which made Shibukawa sigh in relief secretly.

These several actions only happened in a second, so Mai and Tokugawa couldn't react and could only watch this situation in a daze without being able to say anything.

Shibukawa was still screaming in pain, but before he recovered, suddenly he could feel something cold pressing against his carotid arteries, and even if he closed his eyes, he knew that it was a knife!

Shibukawa wanted to say something to buy time while thinking about the countermeasure to solve this situation, but the sudden bloodthirsty aura caused his entire body to shudder, and he forgot about all the pain on his body. The only thing that he could think of was how to stay alive in this situation. However, all those hopes shattered when he heard this icy voice.

"I'm grateful for your teaching, but don't ever hurt my woman, or else..." Shishio's voice was so cold and full of murderous intent. With his "Enhanced Voice," he could talk in a voice that could only be heard by his target alone. After all, he didn't want his women to see this side of him, and his knife was also well-hidden under his hand, so no one could see it, and from the spectator's perspective, they could only see him, pressing Shibukawa's neck with his hand.

Still, Shishio also understood what Shibukawa wanted to teach him.

During a fight, your opponents wouldn't care whether you were sleeping, taking a bath, fucking a woman, or anything. When your opponent saw your back wide open, they wouldn't hesitate and attack you!

Shishio knew that, and Shibukawa wanted to teach him this, but even if he knew that, he was angry!

His women were off-limits, and if someone dared to hurt them, he might kill them and throw them into Tokyo Bay to become the fish pellet.

"I - I know... I - I won't do that..." Shibukawa quickly said as his teeth chattered. His face was pale, and his expression was full of horror toward Shishio since he could tell that this young man was strong!

'Also...'

Shibukawa knew that Shishio wouldn't hesitate to kill someone!

Shibukawa somehow became even curious at Shishio since he could tell that Shishio's skill at ninjutsu was amazing.

'Is he the heir of an assassination clan or something?'

According to Shibukawa's plan, he would throw his geta and glasses toward Mai, so it would divert Shishio's mind on him. He knew that Shishio would protect his woman without hesitation, and at that time, he would show his aikido's skill by slamming him into the ground several times, teaching him some manners.

After all, Shibukawa was quite jealous when he saw him walking intimately with his beautiful girlfriend into his house without shame, and Shishio also looked down on him, but he would have never expected that he would lose so badly that he didn't have any room for resistance.

Shibukawa's plan was clever, and anyone would easily fall for his tricks, but who Shishio was?

Shishio had "Ninjutsu Mastery" and "Auto-Pilot" (super reflex), so solving Shibukawa's sneak attack was just a trivial matter for him.

Still, there was one thing that Shibukawa had learned, and he definitely wasn't Shishio's opponent.

Hearing Shibukawa's words, Shishio erased his bloodthirsty aura and hid his hidden knife again before he helped him to sit on the ground, then asked, "After I have done all of that, will you teach me?"

"Of course!" Shibukawa still had his eyes closed since there were still some glasses pieces on his eyes, but even so, he answered Shishio's question without hesitation. "You have given your promise, so I'll teach you. Also, I'm sorry for throwing my geta and glasses toward you, young lady." He apologized to Mai and lowered his head without hesitation.

Hearing the apology of Shibukawa, Mai and Tokugawa quickly awoke from their dazes and couldn't help but think about the confrontation that happened in just a second.

Mai still had a conflicted feeling toward Shibukawa. She would be lying if she didn't feel annoyed and angry since his geta and glasses almost hit her but watching Shibukawa's miserable situation was done by Shishio. She could only sigh and say, "It's okay. Just don't do it again." She didn't really like the trouble, and she also didn't want to trouble Shishio, so she didn't want to entangle with this matter any longer. Still, she didn't have any good impression of this old guy and didn't want to stay in this place.

If Shishio didn't want to learn from Shibukawa, then Mai would ask him to go back immediately.

"Thank you," Shibukawa said sincerely since he was afraid that he might be assassinated if Mai didn't receive his apology, but suddenly something crossed his mind.

'Let's just ignore it.'

Shibukawa was a smart man. While he might have been a rascal during his youth, he still knew something that could be touched or not.

Shishio didn't care about Shibukawa again since he knew that Shibukawa could take care of himself, so he walked toward Mai and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yes, thank you, Shishio." Mai leaned on Shishio's body again and felt secure right beside him. "Sorry for causing you trouble." She thought that she had caused him trouble, especially when she was almost being attacked by before.

"You're my girlfriend. What do you apologize for?" Shishio gave a gentle smile and said, "Instead, why don't you say thank you and give me a reward?" He whispered in a low voice that could only be heard by Mai.

Mai blushed and hammered his chest. "Okay, but watch the time and the occasion, alright?" She couldn't help but remind him since there were many people that watched them.

Shishio couldn't help but smile happily as he hugged Mai, but then the sudden voice of Tokugawa only made him realize that this old man was still here.

"Wow!" Tokugawa was excited and asked, "Shishio-kun, your ninjutsu skill is amazing!" He knew that Shishio had learned many martial arts, but it didn't mean his level on those arts was so-so. Instead, his level had reached a master level, so Shishio learned other martial arts that interested him.

Tokugawa had watched Shishio's fight before, and he knew that Shishio had learned Bajiquan, Boxing, Taekwondo, and Ninjutsu. When he thought about those martial arts, he somehow understood why Shishio wanted to learn the aikido.

"It's nothing special," Shishio said simply.

"...."

Shibukawa felt bitter. If Shishio's skill was nothing special, then what was he?

Still, there was something that made Shibukawa feel bitter.

"Um, can you help me a bit?"

Shishio, Mai, and Tokugawa only remembered that they weren't the only people here.

---

While Shibukawa tended up his eyes, Shishio, Mai, and Tokugawa were waiting in the room where Shibukawa and Tokugawa were sitting before.

The room had a traditional Japanese design, and the fish pond could be seen right from the outside.

The sound of the relaxing shishi-odoshi was heard. There were many questions that Mai wanted to ask, especially regarding her boyfriend. "So Shishio is a fighter?" She felt surprised when she heard it and looked at Shishio with a doubt.

"Not an official fighter. Instead, it is just my hobby to fight," Shishio said simply.

"Huh? Why did you do something so dangerous?" Mai asked with a frown.

"It's to become stronger," Shishio said.

"Stronger? What for?" Mai asked with an even frown on her face.

"So I can protect you better." Shishio patted Mai's palm and said, "Remember the situation before, right? If I'm weaker, then the geta and the glasses might hit you."

Mai couldn't say anything since she knew that Shishio was right, but she also felt warm since he knew that her man would protect her no matter how dangerous the situation. However, while his feelings touched her, she was worried about him.

"Young Lady, you don't need to worry about him. Your man is strong," Tokugawa said with a laugh.

"Is Shishio strong?" Mai asked Tokugawa curiously.

"I have his videos of fighting with me. Do you want to watch them?" Tokugawa asked.

"Yes!" Mai nodded without hesitation.

"..." Shishio.

Tokugawa then called his bodyguards and told them to bring him his laptop, but at the same time, he looked at Shishio and said, "Still, you sure are amazing that you can even date the most popular child actress." His lips twitched, and he thought that Shishio really resembled his grandfather since there were so many women around him.

Mai looked at Tokugawa curiously and felt the identity of this old man was particular since normal people, whether they were old or young, might ask for her signature or photos, but Tokugawa didn't do that and only looked at her as a normal small girl.

'But...'

Mai could see the excitement in Tokugawa's eyes when he looked at Shishio. 'Don't tell me...' However, her forehead was flicked without hesitation. "Ouch!"

"I'm not sure what you were thinking about, but don't think something weird," Shishio said with a slight shudder.

Mai pouted, but she didn't say much. "But what are you going to learn from that old man... um... Shibukawa-sensei, was it?" She didn't know much about Shibukawa since she didn't have much interest in martial arts before. "Was it ninjutsu?" However, since her man was interested in martial arts, she became interested, especially when she saw his skill, fighting against Shibukawa.

"No, it is aikido."

Shishio, Mai, and Tokugawa turned their heads and saw Shibukawa standing at the door entrance.

Shibukawa's eyes were slightly red, but even so, they could see that he was alright.

"Aikido?" Mai looked at Shishio curiously.

"Yes." Shishio nodded then looked at Shibukawa. "So, Sensei, can you teach me now?"

"Of course." Shibukawa laughed happily and said, "Let me teach you the art of aikido."

What was the distress of the powerful martial art?

It was to find the successor!

They might be able to teach so many people, and many of them could learn their techniques, but it was a different matter for them if they wanted to have a successor.

Shibukawa hadn't found his successor since neither his children nor his students could reach his realm or even exceed him in terms of martial art.

'But what about him?'

Shibukawa looked at Shishio with a smile and said, "Sure, let's do it now."
