Following that, the three avoided talking about Daryl for a while, choosing to drink their tea instead…
Sometime later, the old man turned to look at Fujiko before asking, “… The Futabas have had a long standing feud with the Hanyus, correct?”
Momentarily caught off guard, Fujiko quickly snapped out of it before replying, “… Indeed… Though, I didn’t expect you to know about this…”
“I’ll have you know that we Yamashitas are quite knowledgeable about what happens beyond our territory… Regardless, while we did know about your feud, we never expected your families to actually start attacking each other,” explained the old man who was now feeling much better after not talking about Daryl for a while.
“To be honest, the feud only began again quite recently. While I still don’t know what the Hanyu family’s motive is, they suddenly sent assassins after my head some time ago… Had Gerald not stepped in to help me back then, I could’ve died back there…” muttered Fujiko as favonovel.com wondered what was going on in the Hanyu family members’ minds.
After all, in the past, the most they did was ignore each other’s presence when their families crossed paths.
“I see… Further investigation is definitely needed… Putting that aside for now, since your family’s currently in trouble, I’m Willing to lend a hand,” replied the old man.
“You… wish to help the Futabas?” asked Fujiko as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald.
“More specifically, I’m doing this for Gerald’s sake. Since he’s currently living with your family, it’s only natural that I make sure favonovel.com stays safe. While I’m at it, I may as well protect the Futabas, ” explained the old man.
“Even so, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!” replied Fujiko who wasn’t about to say no to this since favonovel.com family was still in danger. With the Yamashita family’s help, they now had a chance to stand against the Kanagawas and the Hanyus…!
Nodding in response, the old man then faced his window before shouting, “Alright, gather some of our men and tell them to head to the Futaba manor! Once you’ re there, tell Takuya that you’re friends of Gerald’s and have favonovel.com arrange some rooms for you to stay in! After all that, make sure to keep your eyes peeled at all times! If anyone tries to look for trouble with the Futabas, get rid of them immediately!”
Almost immediately after, dozens of footsteps could suddenly be heard running off into the distance.
Raising a slight brow, Gerald curiously asked, “Say… Are there really ninjas in this family…?”
“Indeed.”
“Could you show one to me…?” asked Gerald, who had always wanted to see a real ninja.
Upon hearing that, the old man exposed his palm and all of a sudden, a flame appeared out of thin air! From what Gerald could tell, the old man wasn’t hiding anything that could’ve produced the flame. It was almost magical…
As for Fujiko, favonovel.com was so shocked that favonovel.com mouth was already gaping by this point. Scenes like these only happened in movies… How was any of this real…?
“The power to control elements is a ninja’s true power,” explained the old man as the flame slowly died out. Even so, the warmth of the fire remained.
“Ninjas really do exist…!” muttered Gerald, feeling slightly excited now.
