Chapter 41: KOF Invitation

Kusanagi Dojo.

Although it is a dojo, only the three-person family of Kusanagi Kyo actually lives here, and Kusanagi Saishu has no intention of taking on disciples.

In Kusanagi Saishu's view, the Kusanagi family's heritage must be inherited by his own son, and no one else.

Therefore, in this Kusanagi family dojo, only the father and son hold up the banner.

In the center of the dojo is a building, which is where Kusanagi Kyo usually trains.

"Hah!"

The sound of the collision is loud and crisp.

Two figures merge together to exchange blows, and intense flames rise along with their fists and kicks.

Until one of them is blasted away by the other.

Bang!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... my lower back hurts so much." Kusanagi Saishu clutches his lower back and rolls on the ground.

Kusanagi Kyo helplessly withdraws his hand, stops the fist technique he was about to launch, and scratches his head: "Forget it, let's stop here for today."

"What, you brat, you run away after winning? Don't even think about it, you must help me get back at you today!" Kusanagi Saishu endures the pain and climbs up from the ground.

"Forget it, old man, what level you are at, what level I am at, don't you have any idea in your heart?" Kusanagi Kyo is helpless, planning to take a shower and then study.

Speaking of which, the homework assigned by the school doesn't seem to be finished yet...

Damn it, I have to hurry back to school and ask Yuki to let me copy it.

"Who said my level is lower than yours? You didn't follow martial ethics just now and ambushed your old man." Kusanagi Saishu is very angry, and the feeling of being beaten by his own son makes him even angrier!

"That's enough." Kusanagi Kyo expresses his sweat-drop emoji.

Every day, Kusanagi Kyo spars with his old man in the morning; ever since Kusanagi Kyo started middle school, Kusanagi Saishu hasn't really won.

Since high school started, Kusanagi Saishu has basically been taken down by Kusanagi Kyo within twenty moves.

Kusanagi Saishu refuses to admit defeat, becoming braver with every setback, and then losing with every setback.

Tap, tap, tap.

A burst of footsteps comes from outside, and Kusanagi Kyo's mother walks in with a letter: "Kyo, a letter for you."

"A letter?"

Kusanagi Kyo is very surprised; who would send a letter these days?

He opens the envelope, and on it is a very eye-catching red seal with a letter marked on it.

R!!!

"R, what does it mean?"

Kusanagi Kyo suspiciously tears open the envelope, and inside is only an invitation.

An invitation to the KOF fighting tournament.

Kusanagi Kyo's expression is stunned; he never expected it to be an invitation to a fighting tournament.

"KOF, how interesting." Kusanagi Kyo decides to join, but the rules for this tournament require contestants to form teams of three.

If Kusanagi Kyo wants to participate, he must find two other people to form a team.

Kusanagi Saishu naturally notices the invitation in his son's hand and puts on a serious look: "Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Kusanagi Kyo looks at his old man suspiciously and asks: "What's wrong, did you catch a cold?"

"Not a cold, think about it again?" Kusanagi Saishu hopes Kusanagi Kyo will speak up quickly and join him to participate in the KOF tournament; then the two father and son can join forces and even pull in a dog!

They could sweep the KOF tournament with ease!

At the thought of this, Kusanagi Saishu reveals a lewd smile happily.

"It's good that it's not a cold, then I'm going to take a shower and study."

Kusanagi Kyo intends to leave, but Kusanagi Saishu pulls him hard and asks: "I just want to participate in the KOF tournament with you, if you invite me, I will definitely agree."

Participate in the tournament with his own old man?

A father-son team on the battlefield?

Sorry, Kusanagi Kyo really hasn't thought about it, because he already has his teammates in mind.

Kusanagi Saishu still wants to struggle in his death throes, but he is caught by his wife and then given a sound beating.

The reason is, at his age, shouldn't he be taking good care of the family instead of wanting to run off to participate in a fighting tournament?

Eat shit!

Kusanagi Kyo is unfazed by this scene.

"...."

Besides Kusanagi Kyo receiving the KOF tournament teammate invitation, experts all over the world have received this mysterious invitation without a return address within a few days.

Apart from the R on the envelope, there is no other information.

The prize money for this KOF tournament is very generous, and it is said that it includes food, accommodation, and coverage for work-related injuries; it is simply a world-class, top-tier configuration.

And the location for this KOF tournament is South Town!

At the same time.

Shiranui Style dojo.

Shiranui Mai has received two invitations, one for herself and the other for her boyfriend.

Hanzo holds one of the invitations to check it; besides the letter R, everything else reveals a deep sense of mystery.

"Mai, do you intend to participate?"

Shiranui Mai is stunned, then nods vigorously: "Yeah, I intend to participate, and I also intend to form a team with my boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo reveals an auntie-like smile of relief.

Hmm, forming a team with her boyfriend, that provides a sense of security.

He was just afraid his granddaughter would be bullied while participating in the competition!

Since Jue was following along, what was there to worry about!?

What, saying that Jue would bully Shiranui Mai?

That would be simply perfect; hurry up and "bully" her, preferably the kind that costs a life!

Shiranui Mai still had another invitation letter in her hand; after thinking about it, she decided to just sell it, since she didn't have to worry about selling such things anyway.

"I'll tell Jue the good news first." Shiranui Mai picked up the invitation letter and left.

Shiranui Hanzo shook his head and muttered to himself, "The letter R, what on earth does it represent?"

Back mountain.

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of violent explosions appeared.

With every explosion, one of Jue's shadow clones would inexplicably perish.

Facts proved that injecting fire-style chakra into the Rasengan would only make the stable structure of the Rasengan become extremely wild and difficult to control.

Every time he injected fire-attribute chakra to perform a shape transformation, within three seconds, the Rasengan would begin to deform, and the energy inside would become terrifying.

In the end... an explosion occurred.

As for that scene, Jue could only describe it with the four words: terrifyingly formidable.

To prove his point, Jue also tried injecting four other attributes, and the results were all the same.

Sorting the difficulty of controlling the different attributes injected into the Rasengan from highest to lowest:

Fire, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Water!

There is no need to mention the fire attribute; once injected, the Rasengan immediately turns into an "atomic bomb" and explodes on the spot.

Lightning is not that difficult to control, but during the molding process, the sphere develops leaks, and the lightning attribute begins to discharge...

There is no need to mention the wind style.

Earth is quite special; the Rasengan becomes very heavy, so heavy that Jue actually couldn't hold it up and it fell to the ground.

He seriously suspected there was a problem with the line of thought for the earth-style Rasengan.

The water attribute is quite orderly; there were no surprises and it was relatively easy to control, but there were no breakthroughs either, so Jue also suspected there was a problem with the line of thought for the water attribute.
