Inside the small Buddhist hall.

From the moment the first explosion sounded, the old man knew that their target was heading towards this place.

The price for this should be the life of one of his subordinates.

However, the old man has long been aware of this.

Ninjas are such a group of people. They are shadows hiding in the sun. While carrying out their beliefs, it is not surprising to die wherever they go.

Life is famous, death is nameless.

This is the most realistic portrayal of the life of a ninja.

The old man looked back at Xuedaba on the ground again, suddenly feeling a little ridiculous and a little sad at the same time.

Even ninjas have things they are determined to protect, and this woman...

"To you, what does Kiyosato mean to you? Isn't he an irreplaceable person for you?"

The old man couldn't help but ask, but he didn't get an immediate response from Xuedaba.

However, he didn't care and just continued: "At least for Qingli, you are irreplaceable. Otherwise, he would not have come to the moving Kyoto without confidence in his swordsmanship. He would not hesitate to risk himself.

I also want you to be happy, right?"

"Then...he just needs to...he just needs to stay by my side. I just hope that..."

Xuedaiba thought more than once that if he could tell Qingli his feelings and let him stay in his hometown, so many things would not happen in the future.

But…

I am such a person, always unable to express my feelings to the person I love.

It's true for Kiyosato, and it's true for Kenshin...

Inside the small Buddhist hall.

The old Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and looked down at all living beings.

The old man listened quietly to Xuedaba's sobs and responded without changing his expression.

"This is the sin of men."

"In order to make women happy, a man must protect his family, the village, and the Tokugawa world. With the Tokugawa fall, personal happiness will disappear. As long as someone wants to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, no matter how young he is,

Even if there is a seedling, we must pull it out at all costs!"

"This cautious approach is the reason why Tokugawa has been peaceful and prosperous for three hundred years. This task has always been carried out by us. This is our sin. We are also protecting the happiness of the people, even at the risk of our lives."

"do you understand?"

"We are actually all very sinful people."

"Live for your dreams and die for your dreams. This is the destiny of man."

…

Although it was just a line in the play, everyone in the crew was undoubtedly deep in thought while watching this play.

The old man said that for Tokugawa and for the people of the world, they must defeat Kenshin.

From their current perspective, what the old man said was just ridiculous.

If the Tokugawa shogunate continues to rule the whole of Japan, with its decadent system and narrow vision, will Japan still have a future?

No.

Absolutely not!

This is the only thing they can be sure of.

Under the wave of the new era, the rotten system must be changed.

After all, through the lessons of history, they have already understood a sentence.

What is the principle of ‘change means life, change means death!’.

However, if you think about the problem from another position, from the perspective of an old man, you can't help but feel a little sad.

Annotake has always believed in the Tokugawa Shogunate. In their view, the Tokugawa Shogunate is the supreme heaven in this land. Only the Tokugawa family continues to rule here, can the world maintain peace.

The reason why the island country frequently breaks out in riots is because there are people like the executioner Battosai who are trying to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, which makes the current situation uneasy and the world in turmoil.

If there were no executioner Battousai and other people who call themselves "restoration patriots".

The world will surely enjoy peace.

This is the old man's way of life. Even he knows that what he does is just to make himself one of the sinful people.

But...he has no regrets...

"How can I put it this way? I still think that Annotake and the old man who is the leader are not wrong. They are just being used by the shogunate."

Someone expressed his or her own opinion.

Someone nearby heard this and immediately shook his head.

"The current situation is like this, who can say clearly what is right or wrong... However, I only talk about the beliefs expressed by the old man, and I can tell the autumn through a leaf. I think what the supervisor wants to express is that this duel between beliefs,

In fact, there is no winner or loser. As the old man said, we are just people living in sin. In turbulent times, there is no justice for both sides."

In front of the monitor.

Wei Gong listened to the gentle comments from everyone around him and nodded silently in his mind.

Put aside, the reason why "Rurouni Kenshin Memories" surpasses other masterpieces and becomes a rare masterpiece is that the ideas in it are slightly better than other masterpieces.

Looking back, just telling the story of Kenshin and Tomoe is more than touching and sad, but when it comes to greatness and legacy, it is definitely far from enough.

But what if the historical background is added?

If nothing else, the epic feeling gradually emerged.

This type of story, combined with the background of the times, is the kind of story that becomes more and more flavorful the more you taste it.

Even after ten or twenty years, after the audience has had enough experience, they will not feel disgusted by the show, but will sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

'Well, the times are like this, and the relationship between Kenshin and Tomoe is destined to be like this.'

Outside the small Buddhist hall.

Kenshin approaches step by step with his own belief.

Inside the Buddhist hall.

How many times has the wind and snow started?

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and the sound of the explosion that just sounded again vaguely echoed in his ears.

"You have already set a trap, but you still have to pay such a big sacrifice?"

A flash of sadness flashed across the old man's face, and then it was quickly hidden.

"But this is also expected." The old man looked back at Yukidaiba and said firmly: "I will definitely deal with that guy. This is also for Kiyosato and the many subordinates who died for the shogunate, so that their

The only way death becomes meaningful."

"So, just watch the end with your own eyes, which can be regarded as the lowest level of condolences for Qingli who wants to protect you."

After that, the old man said nothing more and stepped into the small Buddhist hall facing the wind and snow.

"...Qingsato...sama..."

In the darkness, someone whispered softly,

It seemed like I felt something.

In the Buddhist hall where she had been kneeling for a long time, Xuedeba saw snowflakes falling one after another from the crack in the door.

She stood up and opened the door, only to see a figure covered in blood deep in the woods outside, walking towards this side step by step with difficult steps.

This is the first time Yukidaiba has seen Kenshin like this.

Full of scars, we must continue to move forward persistently.

but,

This is indeed the character of Kenshin...

Xuedaba felt a sudden pain in her heart, and the old man's words just now still remained in her heart.

She turned her head away, forcing herself not to look at that sword heart again.

"Looking at you like this, you have exhausted all your strength to come here, right? Even if you are a Battosai, the battle will become extremely difficult without something to protect. What's more, the thing you want to protect has never been

It never existed in the first place."

The old man stared at Himura Kenshin in the wind and snow, and his tone suddenly rose.

"We are different from you! I am ordered by the shogunate to eradicate you in the name of the shogunate. At the same time, I want to avenge many of my subordinates. This is the only compensation I can make since I cannot protect them!"

In front of the Buddhist temple.

The old man stepped on layers of snow and ran straight to the heart of the sword in Feicun Village.
