Battle of haruto 6

Twenty years later, Haruto had grown into a strong man at 34, while Zinkin Iyago was aging. Haruto had become as powerful and disciplined as his mentor. He had fought and defeated many warriors, earning a reputation across the lands.

People feared him—not just for his strength, but for his bravery and unshakable discipline.

Haruto's godfather called him into his room.

"Haruto," he said, his voice low and tired, "you've grown into a man. Now is the time to prove to me that you are truly one. Look at me—I'm weak, I'm old. I can no longer fight like I used to."

Zinkin Iyago warmly held Haruto's hand.

"Promise me," he said, his voice filled with emotion, "you won't let the enemy destroy you or this city. No matter what happens, don't let any circumstance break your spirit or your strength."

Zinkin Iyago went to his bag, pulled out a scarlet cloth, and handed it to Haruto.

"This is your strength and belief," he said, his voice filled with conviction.
