Yahiko's Desperation is the one hundred fifty-seventh chapter of the Rurouni Kenshin manga.
Synopsis[]
Yahiko had demanded to learn the Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu succession technique, but his demand led into a big argument with Kaoru loud enough to send a curious Kenshin flying.
Kaoru is a bit tired after arguing and fighting with Yahiko who still kept on insisting. There are a few good points brought up by Kaoru. Yahiko is most likely the strongest ten year old alive, already having beating major opponents such as Nagaoka Mikio and Kariwa Henya. When Kenshin began his training and Sanosuke began street fighting at that same age, Kaoru declines Yahiko to teach him the ougi for the sake of pursuing strength. With that said, Kaoru leaves her only pupil in solitude. Yahiko doesn't take the rejection easily as e falls onto his knees and smashes the dojo floor with his fist, mumbling a few curses with Tsubame watches on in pity.
The sun begins to set upon Tokyo. Kenshin looks outside and fears something bad may occur at nighttime. At Shinbashi Station, Inui and Otowa arrive in Tokyo. The two comrades both have set destinations, which they will attack separately at the same time.
