In 2002, four years passed, I am now 20 years old and Hikari is 18 years old, the whole village already knows both of us, every morning anyone who passes by the house or while farming, he said, must have greeted us both. Of course, we still do ninja training, even sometimes we both go into the forest in a month to test ourselves. We do not continue to school anymore, no problem, in the life before him we have graduated from college and all still remembered clearly haha, what is the meaning of a sheet of diploma paper, which is the meaning of a paper, living in the village does not require such a thing. Kyoya works as an actor and Natsume is an idol in Tokyo. Kenzo and Megumi attend kyoto.
I've never heard from Ayame and the Odasiga family again. And I'm officially married to Hikari because she's 18 and she's married. I got married using Yashiro's name, so my name went back to what it was and Hikari's name became Yashiro Hikari. One day, Hikari and I went to town to sell crops and shop. Technology has become increasingly sophisticated, now mobile phones already have cameras, have email functions and the internet has developed far from four years ago. Hikari and I decided to eat first at a gyudong restaurant in the city. When inside, apparently the owner was watching television that aired news of the death of a cultural figure from the Fujikata family, named Fujikata Akiho at the age of 82 years.
“Baasan...he died.” My word.
“Iya, means Fujikata heir now Keiko san yes.” Added Hikari.
The store owner delivered the food to our table and we both started eating after saying hello. The news of Baasan's death had no effect at all for me nor for Hikari. We both ate relaxed. But arrive door at open, “Sreeg.” Two people went inside.
“Ara bocchan ? ara ra ra ra.. bocchan..”.
Suddenly I heard a voice that I knew and so turned I was close to being unable to breathe. I patted the guy so he could breathe. I was finally released.
“Huff...huff...nee san ? how come it's here ?” Ask me.
“Bocchan... eike thought you had died bocchan, because many say you are dead.” Youko looked behind her and nodded.
“Hoo who spread me and Hikari is dead ?” Ask me.
“Isu is santer in osaka bocchan, thought about a month after bocchan disappeared, fiance ojouchan told ojouchan that bocchan and Hikari chan died from being killed by a killer.” Youko.
“Hahaha..means that the kribo yes, good good good, I like to hear it, it is better that me and Hikari are considered dead.” Reply me.
I saw Youko lowered her head and who was behind her, she was covered in a veil and mask, her face was invisible and she stood up, even though I knew she was a woman.
“Then why nee san here ?” Ask me.
“Now bocchan's messed up, the condition is really erratic, ojouchan takes over her husband's family and controls everything on behalf of Odasiga, while Fujikata is taken over by Shizuka tan, who takes control of her, maybe the concerned can explain it in more detail..” Youko turned to the person behind her.
I immediately looked behind nee san and it turned out that the one standing behind her was Keiko. I was surprised to see it, on television the funeral is still running which even attended by the prime minister of Japan. Why is Keiko even here, in front of me.
“Keiko nee san ? why here, is not baasan being buried ?” Ask me.
Keiko and Youko were sitting in front of me and Hikari, Keiko told me that things were messed up, Fujikata is now led by Shizuka who is domiciled in fukuoka and Odasiga by Ayame who is now in his entire move to osaka. All clans are now merged into Fujikata or Odasiga, as Godou's example is now fully mastered by Odasiga, while Kyogoku has fully entered Shizuka. And now the two great powers are fighting over tokyo, which no one now holds. According to Keiko, their way of competing is very harsh and sadistic, if anyone opposes being killed mercilessly and leaving no one alive.
“Heee in tokyo isn't there Kirishima ?” Ask me.
“It's gone Masa kun, all slaughtered by Ayame, all the business in ginza taken everything by him. The reason he can't control the whole of Tokyo is because your confidant Manabu disappeared. On top of that, Shizuka started getting into tokyo.” Answer Keiko.
“True bocchan, ojouchan is now so cold, he is completely unwilling to listen to anyone's words. That is the reason Manabu disappeared, ojouchan forced to take all assets in tokyo that bocchan and Manabu worked on together.” Youko.
“Hmm so yes, then why is Keiko nee san here ? how do you know me and Hikari are here ?” Ask me again.
Keiko immediately tells that now she is being targeted by Shizuka and assisted by Ayame. The two clashed only on the outside, but inside were both allies. I immediately understood why Keiko was hunted by Ayame and Shizuka, Keiko was a child born to two large families Odasiga and Fujikata. It can be said, Keiko is the rightful heir of the two big families. When Keiko found out he was in the hunt, Keiko went to see Youko in fukuoka to seek help and they had been traveling around for a month, when they reached Kyoto, Kyoto, Youko gets a clue from a university student who accidentally crosses paths with them in the shopping district, is talking about her village with a male student next to her, they feel calm, if Hikari and I take care of the village boys and teach them the Kagenuma ninja school. Keiko and Youko are shocked to hear that because there are rarely people who use the name Masamune added from the village of Kagenuma, they immediately approached the student asking for details, Youko and Keiko didn't think that Hikari and I were alive. At first the schoolgirl did not tell her because she saw Keiko, but because Youko could prove that she was also a student of Kagenuma village, the schoolgirl told her all and then Youko told Keiko.
“Haaa Megumi yes...” My muttering.
“Who else is a female student in kyoto hehe.” Added Hikari.
“His name is Megumi and she is also a ninja just like the rest of us here.” Nee san.
“But sorry Keiko nee san, Youko nee san, I'm not involved, can say I don't want to come back, I've calmed down with Hichan here.” Reply me.
“Eike please bocchan, all must return to the current, ojouchan and Shizuka chan really have damaged the centuries-old order on the run and fought by boss.” Youko persuaded me.
“Sorry, I'm here to change my name, I'm not Odasiga, we're both settled and married, so I don't think Hikari and I can help.” Reply me.
“Times, you know me right, I've never been afraid and begged anyone, but this time, I beg you, stop both of them, before they're all destroyed. Besides Ayame can be like that because you are also the one who disappeared arrived.” Reply Keiko while shouting.
Hearing Keiko's words of course I was angry, I stood up and took Hikari up as well,
“Haha is not that I am dead and of course I cannot live anymore right...ayo Hichan, we go.” Reply me.
“Two..” I turned my head and was shocked, seeing Keiko and Youko looking down in front of me. The heads of both of them got stuck to the table, they really asked me to go back to take everything, because now a war could happen between two big powers in Tokyo and if it happens all sectors shake, a civil war could happen. I just scratched my head at the two of them who were looking down at the other side in front of me. But Hikari grabbed my arm and pulled me. He brought my face to my ears.
“It's okay Ma kun we help them, if until the war happens we will bother also here. There's a point too, Ayame onee san so it's because we.”
“I told you, with you, wherever I go hehe.” Reply Hikari.
“Haaaa. Keiko nee san, Youko nee san, please raise your heads. All right, I help, now we find Manabu san, know not where he is?” Ask me.
“Ara..thank you bocchan, eike think you know where he's hiding, in itoshima.” Youko.
“Thank you Masa kun, the time I owe you, please stop Ayame and Shizuka.” Added Keiko.
“Good, what are our assets in fukuoka and saga still there ?” Ask them both.
“In the saga all have been taken over, but in fukuoka there is still.” Youko.
“Good, we'll pick up Manabu, Mitshushino's assets that I hold are impossible to take. Now I have to go back to the village first to prepare and say goodbye to the village chief.”
“Good Time kun.”
“Ara..ready bocchan...”.
Hikari smiled looking at me, her eyes full of confidence. Let's get our tokyo back together. Ayame chan, Shizuka chan, wait, I'll meet you guys. First we went to Sawatari's house to find out about Manabu san there. The account I held all this time, I'm starting to use. I took Youko back to the village, because both are ninjas, actually they can go into the protector and into the village but I don't know which clan Keiko is from, which clan, it was too risky to take him to the village, so I asked him to stay in the city with Hikari.

Youko and I went to the village chief to say goodbye and tell him why Hikari and I had to leave.
“So yes, so actually you are the real head of the Odasiga family, I understand, I will not prevent you, but remember you have family in this village.” Said the village chief.
“Good village chief, I understand, thanks for the help during this.” I bowed before him.
“Do not hesitate to tell us if you need help.” The village chief held my shoulder.
“Thank you, I'll remember her.” Reply me.
After that, I took Youko to my house for a while to clean up my needs and Hikari. Youko who saw me and Hikari had lived a comfortable and quiet life in the village felt sorry and apologized for harassing her, but I said, if I knew one day, today, things like this must happen and I am also ready, the village head also already knows and understands, therefore, I ask nee san not to regret. After all the stuff I had brought in a large backpack, I walked out of the village with Nee san and was accompanied by some children who I sometimes taught at school. Some were crying, some were waving, some were asking when to return and others as her. Sad to see, I looked back for a while and smiled, my heart said thanks to the village that let me and Hikari stay the last 4 years.
“Ayo nee san, we go..”.
My eyes are straight ahead, I'm ready, I'm back again and out of my comfort zone. Once out of the village, I was greeted with a warm smile Hikari who was always with me, I also smiled and embraced her, she said, the two of us were escorted by a villager using a pick up car commonly used to bring agricultural produce to the station in the city. Her next destination is itoshima, the Sawatari family home.

We take the train first to the city of Nara to buy a cellphone and spend the night last night to continue the journey to esokan day. After arriving at the hotel, I was with Hikari booked two rooms, one for the two of us and one for Keiko with Youko. I think they were united it's okay, Youko despite being big and stocky, her soul is a holy girl, so I think it's safe hehe. But in the middle of the night, I began to feel a sensation that I had not felt in the room before me. Yes, yes, the thrill of the hunter who has targeted his prey and waiting for an opportunity to attack.
“Ma...” Said Hikari who was indeed more sensitive than me.
“Ya, I also felt her...” Reply me.
We both prepared in the room, I'm not sure their target was the two of us, because the hunter's air was not directed at us, but to the next room.
“They're after Keiko nee san and Youko nee san.” I whispered.
“True Ma kun.” Reply Hikari.
“From the station, I already feel like someone is following us.” Add me.
“I think I'm the only one feeling it.” Added Hikari.
Hikari and I walked to the door and stood on both sides. I heard the door in the room open, some people came out and walked towards the room next to me. I slightly opened the door, there were three people coming out from inside the room and as soon as I saw his clothes and emblem, I was shocked, it turned out they were ninjas from Kagenuma. And if Kagenuma's here, then the one who sent them is Ayame.
“Come Hichan..” My word.
“Iya come...now we are Iga not Kagenuma..” Added Hikari.
Me and Hikari went straight out, the three ninjas turned their heads and directly attacked me and Hikari. But hey, why is their attack so slow, their fighting style is also not like me and Hikari, even more similar to Hana's fighting style. Just me and Hikari who had been training and absorbing the new style of Iga village very easily also quickly defeated the three. Hikari and I brought them back into the room. In the room, I realized that their clothes were similar to Kagenuma's and used his coat of arms, but they were different, I opened the mask of one of the ninja and I recognized him, he was one of the male students who attended a male-only school in osaka. Ayame, what have you been doing in osaka all this time.
