Most of life is spent thinking and not acting, said Moto.
And every hero was someone who acted even when it was tough for him to act, said Moto.
It was never about doing the right thing. It was about doing things right. I was a murdurer, said Moto. But I did it right. I slit the throat the correct way. I was loyal to the emperor in the way I saw right. I lived my life the way I saw right. I had the courage to live my life, the way I saw it. To become the strongest man in the world, you need to have the courage to live your life.The way you want to live it, said Moto.
"But, but Master," said Chanaka.
Moto stopped him.
" I know what you are about to say,"'said Moto.
Let me save you the trouble.
I'm not perfect, nor I'm the most moral. I'm not the most strongest. I was just a lesson you needed to learn, said Moto.
"Master," said Chanaka.
"I came here thinking that you would teach me to kill."
"Afterall you were the most brutal man in all of Japan," said Chanaka.
Moto laughed.
But Master, you thought me everything else, but how to kill.
"Why would I teach you something that you already know," said Moto.
Chanaka was confused.
"All you ever thought me was to," Chanaka stuttered.
"All I ever thought you was to work hard without expecting what you wanted to get," said Moto.
Aido came to them with a shiny blade of dark green.
He handed it over to Chanaka.
"I don't understand," said Chanaka.
He took the sword in his hands.
"Master, I thought you will teach me the ways of the sword," said Chanaka.
Moto laughed.
"Go to the hills of Konido," said Moto.
"There is Master Mashiro."
"He resides in the cave atop the hill," said Moto.
He will teach you the ways of the sword.
"Thank you Master," said Chanaka and left.
