章 660: The 'Boogie-Man' (II)

"You know how ancient our history is. The historical records do not do justice to our esteemed history. There are even some historians who have labeled us as criminals simply because we did not have a strict code of martial ethics," Shifu began explaining.

"The historians were partially right. Our methods have always been to utlise what is best, no matter what, in order to ensure success. Being looked down upon by samurais was inevitable but, they have never disrespected us."

"However, there were those that did hate us. The ronins: Samurais who did not have a Master. A ronin was the lowest of the low and often became criminals. They hated us to the core because we, who were not as honorable as them, were more respected."

"But the ronin was practically weak and not a threat to us. Until the day one united them. He called himself, 'Ronin' as a symbol of who they were and that they would bear it with pride."
