Chapter 75
A Battle To Change The Future
Yamamoto notices Kingsman hasn't clenched his fist as he sees Kingsman's sword still stabbed into the ground far behind Kingsman and Yamamoto thinks
"You've plotted this moment out, but whatever your planning I promise it won't work!" Yamamoto tightly clutches his sword as he rushes Kingsman and tries slashing him but Kingsman dodges all of his slashes without moving from the spot he's standing until he grabs both of Yamamoto's wrist and knees him in the stomach as he headbutts Yamamoto and Kingsman tosses one of Yamamoto's wrist into the air and Kingsman grabs Yamamoto's throat as he slams him into the ground and Kingsman stands over Yamamoto as he says
"Oh grandfather, how you have fallen from grace! Once seen as an unbeatable swordsman and now your being looked down apon by a man with no blade, it is very sad!" Yamamoto opens his mouth but Kingsman stomps him in his chest pushing him deeper into the ground and Kingsman stands on his chest as he says
"Honestly, I didn't expect you to be very strong when it came to fighting without being able to use your blade. But I want you to truly show me what skill with your blade had this world terrified, because right now your not looking good" Kingsman turns around and starts walking away as Yamamoto slowly pulls himself out of the dirt and rushes Kingsman as Kingsman *chuckles* and says
"Cute, but ineffective!" Yamamoto appears in front of Kingsman as he tries to slashes Kingsman's throat but Kingsman catches his sword between two of his fingers and he pushes Yamamoto's sword down stabbing it into the ground and he continues walking as Yamamoto gets *angry* and pulls his sword out of the ground as he starts trying to slash Kingsman and Kingsman leans out of the way of his slashes as he's still walking away until Kingsman turns around and says
"Enough!" Yamamoto slashes towards Kingsman's neck and Kingsman reaches for Yamamoto's sword but Yamamoto spins his sword and he dashes past Kingsman as a cut opens up across Kingsman's chest and Kingsman is *shocked* as he touches the cut and says
"Truly this was unexpected!" Kingsman puts his hand into the air as he snaps and his sword flies to his hands and Kingsman looks into Yamamoto's eyes as he says
"Do it again!" Yamamoto jumps back and tries to speak but Kingsman appears in front of him as his sword is in the air and Yamamoto leans out of the way as Kingsman slashes downward splitting the ground open and Kingsman looks at Yamamoto as he says
"First you want to fight with blades, but now you're running away! SHOW ME YOUR SKILL, YAMAMOTO!" Kingsman rushes Yamamoto as they start clashing blades and Yamamoto thinks
"Last time I used my ability his sword cracked, but if I time it with our swords clashing I should be able to shatter his sword as I cut his head off!" Yamamoto jumps back as he sheathes his sword and closes his eyes as Kingsman rushes him and tries to slash him as Yamamoto tightly grips his sword and he quickly unsheathes his sword and slashes towards Kingsman as he feels the ground vibrate and Yamamoto *laughs* as he says
"This was to simpl-" Suddenly Yamamoto's punched in the face and he stumbles back as he opens his eyes and sees Kingsman standing there unharmed and he's *shocked* as he notices Kingsman's sword isn't cracked and Yamamoto says
"How!?" Kingsman says
"The gap in our skills has closed Yamamoto, and for a man talking about being a swordsmen to use that kind of ability is pathetic. Is that why you we're undefeated all those years ago, no skill just an ability to break your opponents blades unexpectedly" Yamamoto says
"Everything I've earned has been because of my skill and hard work!" Kingsman says
"So come and show me! No tricks, no abilities, just pure swordsmanship!" They both rush each other as they start quickly clashing swords until Yamamoto dodges Kingsman's slash as he switches into a low stance and slashes Kingsman across the chest three times and he ducks as Kingsman tries to slash him and he slashes Kingsman elbow joint as Kingsman drops his sword and Yamamoto stabs his sword into the ground as he jumps up and kicks Kingsman in the face making him stumble back and Kingsman drops to one knee as he is *shocked* and thinks
"Those slashes...Actually hurt! The tip of that kunai is weakening me so much, maybe I shouldn't have let my guard down so much!" Kingsman slowly stands up as he looks at Yamamoto and says
"You should give up on this pitiful pursuit, you gain nothing from death but a wasted life! For someone like you defeating me is impossible, admit your defeat and plead for your life!" Yamamoto *laughs* as he says
"Young one, if you believe that you could beat me you are simply foolish! I would have made sure everyone knew your name and sacrifice for the new world, but now you simply must be forgotten by everyone!" Kingsman says
"Someone will always know my name, and someone will always speak it! But the only people who know your name will never speak it again" Yamamoto *chuckles* as he says
"My name has always lived on, and now everyone will praise it once again! It simply requires you to fall!" Yamamoto rushes Kingsman as he tries to slash Kingsman and Kingsman catches his wrist as he looks in Yamamoto's eyes and says
"Your name will die with you, as it did all those years ago!" Kingsman raises his sword as he slashes towards Yamamoto's neck but suddenly Kingsman stops inches from his neck and Kingsman is *confused* as he tries to move his hand but he can't and he says
"What the hell!?" Kingsman looks up but he's *shocked* as he sees darkness surging all over Yamamoto's body and he notices Yamamoto's blade also surging with darkness and suddenly Kingsman drops his sword as he falls to his knees and starts *coughing up blood* and he says
"What...Have you done!?" Yamamoto starts *manically laughing* as the darkness around him still violently surges and Yamamoto stabs his sword into the ground as he grabs Kingsman by his neck holding him in the air and he looks Kingsman in the eyes as he says
"It's time I take back my power, you are not worthy of it! Everything you've accomplished was because I allowed you too! I turned a boy into a god, and you believed you'd look down on me! I am the master of the power you wished to control!" Yamamoto raises his fist as he *smiles* and says
"I created you, made you the man you are today! But now all my work must be undone, because you cannot focus on a goal! I've wanted nothing more than for our clan to stand above all, but now I must be the sole survivor to rebuild our once glorious clan!" Yamamoto punches Kingsman in the stomach launching him back as he slams extremely hard into the ground and Kingsman *holds his stomach in pain* as he slowly stands up and he spits blood on the ground as he says
"So now you've stolen my power and believe you are a god!" Yamamoto *smiles* as he looks Kingsman in his eyes and says
“You're mistaken, my foolish grandson. This power was never yours, it was always mine. You were simply a pawn I needed to use to return to this world" Kingsman snaps as his sword flies to his hand and Kingsman says
"You're going to die, here and now. Everything you've ever wanted to accomplish died with you the same day you were sealed!" Kingsman rushes Yamamoto and Yamamoto grabs his sword with one hand as he deflects all of Kingsman's slashes and he looks in Kingsman's eyes as he says
"You are weak now, not just your body but also your mind! You've become so comfortable with being unchallenged that you've allowed your ego to blind you to possible threats, I told you I've seen hundreds of men like you and all of you fall the same. To my blade!" Yamamoto deflects Kingsman sword as he grabs Kingsman's wrist stopping his sword and Yamamoto says
"I do want you to know that I'm slightly sad it must end this way, but you've brought this on yourself!" Kingsman says
"I-" Suddenly Yamamoto slashes Kingsman across the chest as he *screams in pain* and stumbles back as Yamamoto starts quickly slashing Kingsman all over his body and Kingsman tries to slash Yamamoto but Yamamoto dodges the slash as Kingsman notices he's continuously switching stances and Kingsman thinks
"Damn it, he's targeting all my vitals stopping me from moving! Maybe he's stronger than I thought, I need to create space and let my body heal!" Kingsman tries to turn around but he drops to one knee and Yamamoto kicks Kingsman in the chest launching him back as he slams into the tree in the middle of the field and Yamamoto slowly walks towards Kingsman as he says
"I will tell you something young one, I am impressed with how strong you have become over these years. You truly have earned my respect for your prior dedication to becoming stronger, truly I had nothing but respect for you when you were even younger. But there is a reason you've become as powerful as you were, and it was all from me. Don't forget whose power you needed to become the man you are today!" Yamamoto stops in front of Kingsman as he raises his sword into the air and says
"You've become consumed by your ego, do not forget without me you are nothing! Don't worry I'll truly make this world better" Yamamoto slashes down towards Kingsman but suddenly he stops right before he hits Kingsman and Yamamoto is *shocked* and *confused* as he says
"What!? Why can't I move!?" Kingsman slowly starts *manically laughing* as he looks up at Yamamoto and says
"Truly a powerful speech, but you simply are confused! You may have possessed it at one point in time, but I command it" Suddenly the darkness around Yamamoto violently surges as he drops to his knees and *screams in pain* as Kingsman stands up and Kingsman grabs Yamamoto by the back of his neck and making him look in his eyes as he says
“Do not worry though old man, I will show you how to use it!" Kingsman grabs Yamamoto's sword and Yamamoto tries to hold it but he can't clench his hand as Kingsman pulls his sword away and *smiles* as he says
"It will be painful, but you will truly learn something!" Kingsman wraps Yamamoto hand around his sword as he pushes it through his stomach and Yamamoto spits up blood as Kingsman puts his hand on his head and Kingsman says
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you yet!" Kingsman knees Yamamoto in the face sending him flying back as Kingsman appears behind him and he puts his hands together as he slams his hands onto Yamamoto's head and bouncing him off the ground as Kingsman starts hitting him all over his body until Yamamoto falls back to the ground and Kingsman looks at him as he says
"We're not done yet, get up!" Kingsman grabs Yamamoto by the back of his neck as he pulls him to his feet and starts punching all over his body and Yamamoto tries to punch Kingsman but Kingsman blocks his punch as he pushes down on the sword in Yamamoto's stomach and he *screams in pain* and Kingsman continues punching Yamamoto all over his body as he screams
"FIGHT BACK YAMAMOTO!" Kingsman headbutts Yamamoto as he stumbles back and Yamamoto slowly grabs his sword and yanks it out of his stomach as he *screams in pain* and Kingsman says
"Come, let us finish this battle!" Kingsman snaps as his sword flies to his hand and Yamamoto rushes him and Kingsman easily deflects all of Yamamoto's slashes until he leans out of the way of his slash as he pushes Yamamoto in the back making him stumble forward and Kingsman *laughs* as he says

"This cannot be the legendary swordsmen of my clan" Yamamoto *screams in anger* and he starts violently slashing towards Kingsman as he starts quickly switching stances but Kingsman still blocking all of Yamamoto's slashes and Yamamoto is *shocked* as he thinks
“No! This is impossible, he could not have possibly matched my skill so quickly” Yamamoto slashes at Kingsman's feet making him step back as he suddenly appears behind him and he tries to stab him but suddenly Kingsman's sword stabs into the ground behind him blocking Yamamoto's slash as Kingsman turns around and grabs his sword as Yamamoto tries slashing him again but Kingsman catches his sword with two fingers and Kingsman looks in his eyes as he says
“How does Kingsman: The Sword Saint sound?” Yamamoto pulls his sword away as he starts slashing towards Kingsman and Kingsman blocks all of Yamamoto's strikes as he *laughs* and says
“You are a skilled swordsman, but even the strongest falls in the presence of a god!” Yamamoto is *breathing heavy* as he says
“I am…The greatest swordsman in the multiverse!” Kingsman says
“If you want to get technical because I exist outside of space and time, you are correct” Yamamoto says
“You are my Grandson...That’s is the only reason you survived!” Kingsman says
“Possibly, but your my grandfather and you can’t beat a power you’ve held for years” Yamamoto jumps back as he sheaths his sword as he slows his breathing and holds his hand over his sword as he says
“I will show you the true power of my darkness!” Kingsman says
“I know the power of your darkness, I know the power of a god. Hell I even know the power of a demon, what more could you possibly show me” Yamamoto says
“You are nothing!” Kingsman says
“Are you sure? I’ve been called a God, a Monster, a Demon, hell I've even been called a devil” Yamamoto says
“You are a demon, the things you do are dishonorable!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says
“Then that means I’m a Demon and a God…I make hell look so heavenly don’t I?” Darkness violently surges around Yamamoto and Kingsman starts *laughing* as he puts his sword into a low stance and he drops his head and Yamamoto thinks
“Is he using my–” Kingsman says
“Allow me to show you my new sword arts!” Kingsman dashes past Yamamoto as hundreds of slashes hit Yamamoto from all over and Yamamoto *coughs up blood* as his entire body is shaking and he thinks
“Impossible…How could he be better than me with my own technique!" Kingsman says
“Don’t give up just yet” Kingsman walks up behind Yamamoto as he presses his sword to the side of Yamamoto's stomach and Yamamoto tries to move but he is *shocked* as he can't and Kingsman grabs his shoulder as he says
"All of those slashes targeted your vital areas of mobility, it's time to give up old man!" Yamamoto opens his mouth but Kingsman slashes Yamamoto to the other side of his stomach and Yamamoto spits up blood as his torso falls to the ground with his legs still standing and Kingsman looks down at Yamamoto as his eyes start to close and Kingsman says
"This is your first time feeling like this isn't it, you've never felt death before! Are you afraid?" Yamamoto looks up at Kingsman as he *weakly* says
"I fear nothing...But you will regret everything you've done!" Kingsman says
"I don't think I will, but it's time to stand up!" Yamamoto eyes close but he hears a snap as he feels being slapped and his eyes open as he realizes he's standing again and Kingsman says
"I would have let you die, but I realized you haven't really shown me anything! Now show me something!" Yamamoto jumps back as he realizes his entire body is healed and he tightly grips his sword as he says
"You will regret restoring my body, and now your ego will truly be your downfall!" Yamamoto rushes Kingsman as he starts slashing towards him and Kingsman dodges all of his slashes as he says
"Is this truly it? If this is all you have to offer then you truly don't deserve to be a swordsman, you dishonor the name of everything you've tried to be!" Kingsman disappears as Yamamoto's slashes across his back and Yamamoto turns around as he slashes behind him but nothing is there as he's suddenly slashed across his back again and Yamamoto stumbles forward as Kingsman voice echoes around him and says
“Are we done here or are we going to use our ancient sword styles?” Yamamoto screams
"STOP HIDING FROM ME!" Yamamoto *screams in anger* as he grabs his sword and hundreds of slashes fly in every direction as Yamamoto grips his blade tighter and tighter as everything around him is being destroyed from the slashes until Yamamoto notices Kingsman standing at a distance and he unsheathes his sword as he slashes towards Kingsman and a giant tornado of shockwaves slashes fly towards him as Kingsman *laughs* and raises his sword in the air and he slashes towards the tornado splitting it in half as it destroys everything behind him and Yamamoto opens his mouth but he *coughs up blood* as he falls onto the ground and Yamamoto looks at Kingsman as Kingsman starts walking towards him but every time Yamamoto blinks Kingsman appears closer and closer until Kingsman is crouched in front of him and Kingsman says
"You need to watch the attacks coming towards you, don't worry we're not done just yet!" Kingsman stands up as he looks down at Yamamoto and says
"Stand!" Yamamoto slowly starts to stand up but he's *shocked* as he thinks
"I'm not doing this! How is this happening!?" Yamamoto looks Kingsman in his eyes as Kingsman says
"I'll do you a favor, I'll let you get on hit I won't block or dodge" Yamamoto is *angry* as he says
"I'll kill you!" Kingsman starts *laughing* as Yamamoto grabs his sword and he closes his eyes as he uses
"Heavenly hands" Thousands of glowing hands holding swords form into wings as they appear on Yamamoto's back and he says
"This will be your downfall!" Yamamoto slowly unsheathes his sword as he flies past Kingsman and every sword flows through Kingsman's body as he suddenly stops *laughing* and says
"Damn...You're truly stronger than I thought!" Suddenly Kingsman head falls off and his body falls over and Yamamoto says
“My foolish Grandson, today you’ve met your match!" Yamamoto sheaths his blade but suddenly hundreds of slashes cut Yamamoto from all sides as he *spits up blood* and falls to the ground and Kingsman crouches down next to him as he says
"You truly are stronger than I thought, but you've simply forgotten something about me. There's no one on my level!" Kingsman grabs Yamamoto's sword as he stabs it into the ground next to his head and says
"But you've truly served your purpose very well!" Yamamoto *coughs up blood* as he turns over and slowly reaches for his sword and says
"I don't care...What I have to sacrifice, I refuse to lose this battle!" Suddenly both of his hands as he *screams in pain* and he looks at Kingsman as he screams
"I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DIE, THE DAY YOU FAILED TO PROTECT EVERYONE WHO LOVED YOU!" Kingsman *sighs* as he says
"Along time ago I wished the same thing, but now even on the days when the pain is unbearable sometimes you need to put on a smile to let them know everything is going to be ok" Kingsman grabs Yamamoto's shoulder as he *smiles* and says
"You're going to die! It's alright though, you'll get to see your son and all the people who hate you! It might have been better for you to stay in your seal" Yamamoto says
“You knew what I was plotting this the whole time didn’t you? ” Kingsman says
“Of course I knew, you spent all that time attempting to take over Goto to make him strong enough to beat my clone to steal my power and siphon it from me while I was still sealed. But when that failed you wanted to manipulate me into unsealing you after I unsealed myself, and take advantage of the broken child inside of me and think that everyone around me is a problem and all I need is you. After that you'd usurp my power by tricking into me transferring all of my power into you and had not killed me in that moment you would have made me a servant. But what you failed to realize is that I wanted to know would life have been better had I chosen a path of forgiveness” Yamamoto *weakly* says
“This world...Punishes those who forgive the people that hurt them!” Kingsman says
“I know, I tried to walk the path of true forgiveness but this world forces me to be cold. But I’m fine with that now…I have nothing left in this world!” Yamamoto *weakly* says
“Why unseal me if you knew I was plotting against you?” Kingsman says
“If you would truly like the truth, I hadn’t used my blade in years because of my strength and I wanted make sure my skill with it hadn't wavered. I knew it would only take one time for us to fight and I'd know, so I waited until you chose that you were ready to die. But now I've learned I'm the idea warrior, I can not be damaged,my strength is unmatched, my speed is unfathomable, my mind is unstoppable, and now my blade is truly unmatched” Yamamoto *chuckles* and *weakly* says
“I almost got you, don’t get too cocky” Kingsman *sighs* as he says
“No you didn’t, I just let you live out your fantasy and it just so happens that your biggest fantasy is killing me. I’m touched, but you of all people should know I’m unbeatable” Yamamoto looks at Kingsman’s all over and notices there’s no slashes on his body and Yamamoto *weakly* says
“My darkness...Has truly gotten to your head!” Kingsman says
“There’s a difference in being cocky and knowing who you are, just like there’s a difference in my darkness and yours. My father was an extremely powerful and skilled warrior, but he should have never been able to seal you. But your darkness is so small and juvenile, it was child’s play for him to seal you. But my darkness is truly infinite and all consuming, my darkness is so powerful that no damage done to me will remain! My darkness makes me immortal and even if someone could bypass it then even the smallest shadow allows me to resurrect from it!” Yamamoto is *shocked* as he *weakly* says
“How do you know this!?” Kingsman says
“Call it something like a gut feeling, but on to more important things" Kingsman snaps and Yamamoto's sword flies to his hand as Kingsman stabs Yamamoto through the heart with it as Yamamoto *spits up blood* and *weakly* says
“You truly are my Grandson…I’m proud of you! But dying by my grandson's hand makes me think I might have lost a step or two!” Kingsman is *disgusted* as he says
“I don’t seek your approval, you are nothing to me! But you are mistaken If you think I'd restore some of your honor by killing you. I’m putting you back where my father left you!” Yamamoto is *shocked* as he says
“No please just kill me. Anything but that seal, please have mercy!” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says
“My sympathy and compassion died with my brother and father!” Yamamoto looks down and sees darkness coming from his stab wound to the heart as it tightly wraps around him and Yamamoto screams
"KINGSMAN, PLEASE STOP THIS! I BEG OF YOU, I'LL-" Yamamoto's pulled down into the darkness as it wraps around his sword and flows back into it as Kingsman sheathes the sword and Kingsman says
“As a matter of fact I’ll even start using you as my blade so you can feel my raw strength” Kingsman puts his hand up as a portal back to the planet Kenji and Kaito were on but as he looks around he doesn’t see any of them and Kingsman thinks
“Hmm, are the plans shifting without my approval?”
At the same time Kenji and Kaito are laying on the ground outside of Kingsman’s house and Kenji gets up and helps Kaito up but Kaito falls back down to one knee and says
“I think my body took more damage then I realized” Kenji looks at his chest where he was stabbed and sees it’s healed as he says
“Oddly I feel nothing more than slight discomfort” Kaito *chuckles* as he says
“Yeah, you’re body works very strangely” Kenji says
“If we’re going to beat my father than I’ll need more time to train with Sensei Kenzo” Kaito says
“I'm sorry I forgot to tell you Kenzo has left the village" Kenji is *shocked* as he says
“He didn’t even tell me he was leaving” Kaito says
“He might not have had what it takes to tell you goodbye, the both of you have a special bond” Kenji says
“I guess not, but now that doesn’t matter. We need to start training now” Kaito says
“You’re body may feel fine, but you still need rest. Please take your time and pace yourself, you can’t–” Kenji says
“Try and rush months of training in one night, I know. Are you going to stay the night?” Kaito says
“Sure, I have not seen Hana in a long time” Kenji says
“I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you” Kenji and Kaito both walk into the house and Kenji says
“Hana we’re back!” But there’s no response and they both go upstairs as Kenji opens Hana’s door but the room is empty and Kenji is *shocked* as he says
“Hana!? HANA!” Kenji runs through the house frantically checking every room and as he checks the living room he still doesn’t see her and Kenji screams
"HANA!"
