Ryunomizu - Nine Elements Family
Chapter 15 Meeting with Kagetora Kurosawa

One day, while Ryu was training near a nearby lake, something unexpected happened. The water in the lake began to move irregularly, and then a ninja emerged from the lake with flashes of fire and water.

This ninja is a man who has a strong and mysterious appearance. It has sharp and serious eyes, as well as long black hair. His ninja clothes were red and black, and in his right hand he held the sword valiantly.

Ryu realizes that this man is Kagetora Kurosawa, the village head of Hiokagakure, a ninja village known for having a very strong fire element. Kagetora is one of the legendary ninja who has a reputation as one of the strongest in ninja history.

Kagetora stepped closer to Ryu with steady steps. He said in a stern voice, "You're Ryu, aren't you?"

Ryu nodded, honored by the presence of this legendary ninja. "Yes, I am Ryu. How do you know my name?"

Kagetora replied, "The head of Mizugakure Village, Mizuki Hoshizora, told me about you. He said that you are an amazing young ninja and have a strong water element power."

Ryu felt proud that the Village Chief Mizugakure had told Kagetora about him. However, he also felt a little anxious facing this legendary ninja.

Kagetora continued, "I came to meet you because I wanted to see the power of your water element with your own eyes."

Ryu was surprised and confused. Why was the Village Chief Hiokagakure interested in the power of his water element?

Kagetora looked at the puzzled expression on Ryu's face and explained, "The water element and the fire element are opposing natural elements, but also complement each other. I'm sure that we can learn from each other, and we can become stronger if we share our knowledge with each other."

Ryu understood what Kagetora was expressing. He realized that this meeting was a rare opportunity to understand the water element more deeply.

The two of them were training by the lake, and Ryu took out the moves he had learned from Master Aozora. Kagetora watched closely and quickly understood the water element used by Ryu.

Kagetora also shared his knowledge of the fire element. He showcased the abilities of the extremely powerful fire element and explained the basic principles governing the fire element. He also talked about the history of his village and the legends that exist in Hiokagakure.

Ryu feels inspired by Kagetora. He knows that his ninja adventures are still long, and he has so much more to learn. This encounter opens his eyes to the different elements of nature and helps him understand that there is so much he does not yet know.

After practicing together, Kagetora advised Ryu, "Your elemental strength is a rare gift, and you have a responsibility to use it wisely. Always learn, keep practicing, and be a powerful ninja."

Ryu is honored to receive advice from this legendary ninja. He felt that this encounter had helped him grow and develop as a ninja.

Kagetora said, "Don't hesitate to come to Hiokagakure if you want to learn more about the fire element. I'll always be ready to help."

Ryu thanks Kagetora for this valuable learning opportunity. He feels that his water element is now stronger and he is ready to face the trials and adventures to come.

Ryu also feels inspired by Kagetora's vision of the use of elemental forces and responsibilities that must be carried by someone endowed with a rare element of nature. He felt that there was so much he had to learn and improve in himself, and that his adventure as a ninja was still long.

With renewed vigor, Ryu returns to Mizugakure Village. He knows that his village is still in the process of recovering from a mysterious group attack earlier, and he is ready to help with everything he has. Village Chief Mizuki Hoshizora greeted him with pleasure and listened to all the stories of his journey.

Mizuki said, "Ryu, I'm glad to see you back with such great spirit. Kagetora Kurosawa is an amazing ninja, and you have a rare chance to learn from him."

Ryu smiled and replied, "Yes, Village Chief. I've learned a lot from his meetings, and I feel better prepared than ever to protect this village."

Mizuki rewards Ryu's dedication and courage in protecting his village. He is proud to have a young ninja like Ryu in his village.

A few days passed, and Mizugakure Village began to recover from the previous attack. The villagers tried to repair their damaged houses, and the spirit to rebuild the village became stronger than ever.

Meanwhile, Ryu continued to train diligently. He used the knowledge he gained from meeting with Kagetora to develop the power of his water element. He realized that there were so many aspects of the water element that he had yet to learn, and he wanted to master it completely.

He also helped the villagers with their daily tasks. He felt that as a ninja, his responsibility was not only to protect the village from outside threats, but also to help build and maintain the daily lives of its inhabitants.

One afternoon, as Ryu was training in the forest outskirts, he heard a rumbling sound in the distance. He felt that something was wrong and immediately ran towards the village.

When he arrived at the village, he saw flames burning in several buildings. The village of Mizugakure was in danger, and the fire had spread rapidly.

Ryu immediately took action. He used the power of his water element to extinguish the blazing fire. It forms a strong current of water and splashes the water towards the fire, extinguishing it one by one. Other villagers also joined in the effort to put out the fire.

After some effort, the fire was extinguished. Despite some damage, the village survived a larger disaster. The villagers feel grateful to Ryu and the other ninjas who helped save the village.

Ryu is relieved that he can use his water element power to help his village once again. However, he also felt that this incident was not merely a coincidence. He began to suspect that there was something more behind this fire attack.

Mizuki Hoshizora came up to Ryu and said, "Ryu, I'm worried that this isn't an accident. It's a planned attack, and we have to find out who's responsible."

Ryu nodded in agreement. He felt that they should investigate further and find out who was behind this attack. He knew that their village would not be safe until they found and stopped this threat.

They both decide to conduct an investigation and look for clues that might lead them to the perpetrator of the attack. The battle against the mysterious group has made them more alert, and they are preparing to face any challenges that may arise.
