Chapter 6 - The start of the legendary duo

Today was the day that the legendary duo would be born in the future long after the end of the time people would still talk about the pair with the name...

It was time for Yasuke to finally start his training with his older brother he had turned seven just a while ago and had learned all basic things he would need in the battlefield.

He could ride his horse Gama without a problem and even started to be able to fight on his horse. He had learned the basics of the war tactics from the Date clan. So his father deemed him good enough to start training with his brother.

Yasuke walked towards the courtyard of his brother he was watching the sky the clouds were dark, and it was cold. It was like nature was trying to prevent them from meeting and making a duo that could shake even the heavens. It started to rain, and the wind was very hard, but Yasuke kept walking he wanted to have a better bond with his brother. Not because he would be a strong individual later, but he just wanted to help him after all they are family.

After a couple of minutes walking he finally reached his brother's courtyard and entered, and there he saw Date Masamune in this storm swinging his sword without rest Yasuke couldn't determine if he was sweating so much or if it was the rain.

He decided to sit down a couple of meters away from his brother and entered into his meditation a while later their father came into the courtyard to see if they had already met and started talking.

But to his surprise, he saw a young boy sitting in the storm while meditating and looking so peaceful while the other one was sweating a lot or at least that's what it looked like and swinging his sword.

Terumune had a smile on his face after all who didn't want such sons he would be a happy man even if he had only one son that was good but he knew they were both geniuses.

He spent the most time with Masamune since he was his heir and he needed to teach him everything, but he had asked Hachiman to teach his second son. Terumune was very surprised when over a year ago Hachiman came to him to tell him the progress his son had made.

At first it was just that Hachiman would train Yasuke for 2 years before turning him away but to Terumune's surprise Hachiman the cold samurai came in his room with a smile on his face, "Lord I have decided to accept your son as my only disciple I hope that's alright with you" he said while smiling.

This was a surprise to Terumune after all Hachiman was one of his war Generals and one who had only lost once against someone in a one on one battle.

Of course, he decided to accept when he wanted his son as his only disciple he was happy this meant that the war General Hachiman saw talent in his son.

Right now he decided to speak up, "Boys I'm here so stop what you are doing."

The 2 boys both turned towards one another and looked at each other with curiosity the wanted to know more about each other. They only saw each other at family events or when they would eat together but had never spoken much to each other.

Masamune knew that his little brother was the disciple of one of the War Generals of the Date clan, so he respected him.

And Yasuke respected him because of the person he knew he would become.

After this they looked at their father with curiosity the wanted to know why they were here after all they lived completely different lives one was burdened with the responsibility to become a good Daimyo. While the other was training to become a war general just like his Master.

"Alright boys starting today you 2 will spend at least one hour together your schedules would be the same as before Yasuke your schedule would be waking up learning with your teacher about war tactics. After that you would go with Hachiman to train in the way of the sword and ride your horse and when you finish all that you will come here to spar with your brother and get familiar with each other.

Masamune you would also have about the same routine only with me training you" Terumune slowly explained.

He thought the boys were listening to everything he told them well one of the was listening, and that was Masamune, but Yasuke wasn't listening after he heard something. Because in his head he was thinking one thing, 'i finally know Masters name Hachiman isn't he a war general' he was kind of freaking out that his master was one of the war generals.

Like this Masamune and Yasuke's first day of training started together they just did some like practice spars with wooden swords, but even after all the training, Yasuke couldn't even win one time.

It was an even match for about 10 minutes before he started losing and Yasuke was thinking about one thing 'no wonder he would later get the nickname the Oneeyedragon' he was indeed a genius.

But Masamune was thinking the same his little brother started training at a later age and was 2 years younger those 2 years may not seem like a lot but it definitely makes a difference in how his muscles are developed. But he could fight even with him for 10 minutes before he started to get tired and started to lose.

Terumune watched his sons with pride he knew his firstborn was a genius since he trained him but to see his second born also being so strong gave him pride. After all, 2 sons with such talent would make a deadly combo.

The training session ended, and the 2 brothers were left alone by their father they looked at each other and started laughing.

They enjoyed the training together and started to talk about many things like when Masamune asked his little brother. "So how is it going with Yuki I heard about it from father any progress in falling in love," he said with a smirk on his face it was a smirk that many people would notice it was the face of an older brother teasing his little brother.

Yasuke told Masamune about how he didn't fall in love with her but started to enjoy her company every now and then. The two brothers talked about many things it was a beautiful sight while they were talking the sky began to clear up, and the clouds moved away it became a beautiful day. The two brothers were laughing with each other and bonding while sharing their experiences so far in training.

Terumune was watching with a smile on his face a bit away, so the boys didn't notice him.

I'm happy they get along so well.'

They continued to talk for a little over an hour before a maid came in and told them dinner was ready, so they left while talking to each other.

If one saw them they would think they were brothers that are very close and like this, the legendary duo was formed and their bond set in stone for the ages to come. Many people would talk about them if they wanted to talk about brotherly love.

A warm smile could be seen on both boys faces.
