Chapter 168: Tsukuyo Is Still the Same...

"What else could it be?" Kawaki opened a box of pizza and said while eating.

"Didn't you want to ask about that, Jiraia?" Zenzou retorted.

"Jiraia? Who is that?" asked Kawaki, "Is it your acquaintance?"

"Have you lost your memory?!!!!"

...

"Well, I did a little research. Anyway, this is a reward for your help this time." Zenzou sat in front of Kawaki again and said, "You are right, that Jiraia has set his eyes on a prey. Perhaps, it can be said that he has his eyes on his last prey."

"Is it...Tsukki...?"

"No, not at all." Zenzou replied, "His final prey is himself. His goal is not to kill the work he cultivated... but to be killed by his favorite student."

"So that's how it is..." Kawaki muttered.

"Indeed, your intuition is quite accurate. You can actually tell from that man's eyes that he is courting death." Zenzou praised.

"That's because..." Kawaki wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he shook his head and continued, "Well, forget it. Go on, everything about that man. But I'm also quite curious. Didn't he kill many of your companions? And your father's legs, why don't you want revenge?"

"I haven't thought about revenge for a long time," Zenzou replied casually, then his tone changed slightly, "I have no interest in stepping on a spider that fell to the ground."

"Continue; I want to know everything about that man," Kawaki said as he ate the pizza.

"Jiraia the Spider. His original name is Tobita Danzo. He was born in a samurai country in Iga. When he was young, he was proficient in ninjutsu. Because of his outstanding talent, he was called a prodigy." Zenzou continued, "Iga is a land where samurai clan is fighting for hegemony all year round. The Tobita family was one of the larger families in Iga. With a talented son like him in line to take over, his family's foes were not just going to stand by idly, right? So..."

After a pause, Zenzou said again, "In the end, all of his family was wiped out, save for himself and his younger sister, who was taken hostage by the enemy in order to gain Danzo's cooperation and obedience."

"Swear allegiance to the enemy that should be hated and the prey that should be eaten. That's when his twisted loyalty was born. [Destroy the private and serve the public], just like the literal meaning, [destroying selfish desires and serving the public with one heart]. No, It should be said that this is the only way to do it. The hatred and sadness of swearing allegiance to the enemy who wiped out one's own family, the only way to escape that shame are to forget all about one's existence and carry out one after another order mechanically."

"He was intoxicated by that kind of self and used it to escape the pain. However, his sister could not watch her brother become like that. In order to let her brother regain his freedom, that girl chose to commit suicide..."

Hearing this, Kawaki sighed slightly and said, "What an amazing sister."

"You are right. But the death of his sister did not let him regain his freedom. Instead, he fell into a morbid state." Zenzou also sighed, "No matter how much prey you kill, no matter how much pain you suffer; in the end, you still failed to protect your sister. This pain has been pestering him until today."

"So, you want to oppose your own student once again, wanting to become the enemy of the proudest student you have painstakingly raised?" Kawaki sighed and slowly said, "Is this... atonement? Or is this your own punishment for not protecting your sister well..."

"Who knows, but... there is no doubt that he has failed." Zenzou chuckled and continued, "The plan hasn't even started yet, and you've already set your eyes on him. What a sad man."

"Perhaps." Kawaki also smiled. Then, he turned to look at the door of the room, "But... if you knew it from the beginning, maybe, it might turn into a Happy Ending."

"I told you to open the door!" Tsukuyo angrily said.

"Well, don't be so angry." Kawaki, who had arrived at some unknown time, stood behind Tsukuyo and said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with listening to the leader. Open the door."

"Yes!"

After responding, the two Hyakka members quickly opened the door.

Soon after, Tsukuyo lowered her head and slowly walked in.

"Stop looking. Such a touching reunion between teacher and student. Let's not get in the way here." Kawaki looked at the two Hyakka members and said casually. Then, he turned around first. However, after taking two steps, Kawaki stopped and shouted without looking back, "That, SpiderMan! Don't think about doing those meaningless things. Your sister... always hopes that her brother can live freely."

"She gives up her life because she wants to protect her brother's life. If you really understand, you won't let her down again... Also, the so-called teacher... Well, forget it. I don't understand much about this."

After saying that, Kawaki left with the two Hyakka members without looking back...

...

Kawaki did not know what Tsukuyo and Jiraia had talked about in that room, nor did he have any interest in knowing it. Kawaki only knew that Jiraia had completely disappeared from Yoshiwara at dawn the next day.

Moreover, the problem of food expenses that Kawaki cared about did not come back, including the money that Jiraia had spent in a certain shop.

After knowing all of this, Kawaki quarreled with Tsukuyo several times, but in the end, she couldn't resist Kawaki's persistence. Tsukuyo threw a stack of money on Kawaki's face in a bad mood.

That day, Kawaki excitedly went out to buy a lot of games...

"Why is there another security guard who can't be seen his face clearly?" Kawaki held the game and stepped into Yoshiwara's entrance. Then he asked doubtfully, but he immediately forgot about this matter, "Who cares; the most important thing now is these new games! I want to stay in the house for a whole month! No one can stop me!"

"A new game, a new game~" Kawaki hummed a little tune as he jogged back to his room...

Of course, it was impossible to stay in the house for a month. Although Tsukuyo had changed her opinion of Kawaki after this incident, after Kawaki stayed in the house for a week, Tsukuyo finally could not help but drag Kawaki out of the room... After all... it was about to stink...

...

"This time, you did a lot of things behind our backs!" At the dining table, Hinowa teased with a smile on her face.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.

"But in this way, that child can also..." Hinowa raised her head and looked at Tsukuyo, who was sitting by the window. She wanted to say something but stopped.

"Alright! I'm full!" Kawaki put down the bowl and chopsticks, clapped his hands, and said, "Next is the game time!"

Just as he finished speaking, Tsukuyo raised her hands and threw the two kunai over.

Looking at the two people who were arguing again, Hinowa covered her face and smiled...
