Nao slumped into the cool water, the strong flow of Gorin waterfall flowing hard into the young man's body. “You can't just go out on devastating battles without giving me a will to fight. Nao-chan, I understand you are not a coward, but recruit for Tora clan now is not a good idea. Let’s see! Your sword is no longer sharp, sharpen your blade, make it shine in the summer sunshine.  It was time for you to meet Mitsuhide sensei, the great swordmaster of all time” Hakuyara sensei's instructions echoed in Nao's ears. He suddenly smiles, a smile rarely appears on a face which is full of indifference.

Quotes of day:

Eiji Yoshikawa


“Fighting isn't all there is to the Art of War. The men who think that way, and are satisfied to have food to eat and a place to sleep, are mere vagabonds. A serious student is much more concerned with training his mind and disciplining his spirit than with developing martial skills.”
― Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi
***
(Nao studied Kendo a long time ago) "Remember you are still a warrior, at least in your heart and in your mind. The blood of bushi is flowing in your body, take the real sword off, another sword still exists. That is your heart. Never forget the meaning of life, never give up any challenges. How beautiful the joys are! when you win them. The era of Kenshi had passed away, but the spirit of them is alway in our world."    (9/7/2019) Nao talked to my self.
