On May 17, the fifth year of Tianwen (1536), after experiencing many troubles, the group finally arrived in Kyoto. Imagawa Shimoto didn't expect that the journey would be delayed for such a long time, and he couldn't help but start to worry about the situation of the Imagawa family. The Osawa family has probably launched an uprising in Horie Castle. I wonder if they can withstand the attack of the Toe rebels? The Hojo family is probably still entangled in the east of the river. I wonder if they have crossed the Fuji River? What happened to the teacher and mother?
However, Imagawa Ujimoto's brief worry about the Imagawa family was quickly dispelled by the rich entertainment activities in Kyoto - right, I made an agreement with the old man, and my trip was nominally for sightseeing. , just by the way to apply for a ruling from the public hall - this is what Imagawa Ujimoto thought while fighting hard on the Cuju field.
After a beautiful turning volley penetrated the opponent's romantic eye, there was thunderous cheers around the Cuju court.
"We have won 13 games in a row. Is this still a human being?" The banker at the Cuju venue looked at Imagawa Ujimoto's elegant figure and gorgeous goal performance in stunned silence. "Breaking his own record again? This Kyoto has been here for hundreds of years. His seven-game winning streak record is not over yet, but he broke it five times in a row?"
"Boss, business is extremely good today!" The vendor selling snacks happily shook the plate with money in front of the banker. "Since the fifth consecutive victory, many people have gathered one after another to see this young master's magic. The performance of his skills is amazing! Seeing that the winning streak continues, the number of people is increasing, and it has attracted countless challengers who want to come and compete. It feels like half of Kyoto is here to watch!"
"Kick-off! Keep betting! The young man in white pays one tael and one cent of silver, and the attacking team pays twenty-seven taels of silver!" The banker was so excited that he greeted the guests with a roar.
"Twenty-seven for one?" A wealthy businessman who had just arrived was shocked when he heard this number. "Boss, are you crazy? Do you want to give everyone money?"
"In the last game, we paid twenty-three to one, but not many people bought it. They all bought it for the young man in white. It's more stable than a bank, and you can make a profit without losing money!" The banker heard this and stared at the customer, "I don't want to raise it to one." Pay twenty-seven to attract some people to buy, and everyone will bet heavily on that young man. Are you waiting to see me go bankrupt?"
"Twenty-seven for a loss, a fool wouldn't buy it." The wealthy businessman was really dismissive when he heard this, "We have been in thirteen consecutive battles, and we have long been exhausted and have no strength. Who can still kick?" After that, he Then put the three ingots of gold directly into the bucket to the left of the dealer.
"There is a boss who buys three ingots of gold. The young man in white will lose! Three ingots of gold! Does anyone want to follow?" Why did the dealer take the bucket back after seeing this? It was as if he was afraid that the wealthy merchant would regret it. The whole audience looked at the wealthy merchant's eyes. It's like looking at a boy giving money. Anyone who has watched a match by Imagawa Ujimoto will understand that this huge gap in strength cannot be smoothed out by physical exertion.
However, people who can’t stand it are stupid and have too much money. Seeing the odds of 27 to 27, many new spectators donated their money generously, much to the delight of the bookmaker and those who bet on Imagawa Shimoto.

"Get ready!" When the referee saw that the bets were almost placed, he shouted loudly and raised the Cuju in his hand high. The new team of six people are also famous Cuju players in Kyoto. They were all enjoying the scenery by the Kamogawa River. They heard that someone here broke the winning streak, so they hurried over. They were afraid of this team all the way. The winner had his bases taken by someone else - but their worries were unfounded - Imagawa Ujimoto had not lost a game since his debut.
"Little brother, look at your posture and feet, you don't look like someone who often plays Cuju." Umeyama Jiro, the famous Cuju king in Kyoto, looked at Hayasaka Nao who was standing opposite him, and couldn't help but joked, "Could it be that What kind of exotic genre is it?”
"To be honest, among the six of us, only the young man in white can play football. We all learned it now." Hayasaka Nao pointed at Imagawa Ujimoto and then looked at the team members behind him:
Kira Uisei, who has a strong back and a strong back, knows nothing about Cuju. In the first game, he directly destroyed a Cuju with his hands. He can only stand in front of Fengliu and guard the goal. Although Kentaro Tasaki knows a little about the rules, he is still not balanced enough without one hand; Nakasugi Tora Chiyo's body is quite good and he gets started quickly. He learns much faster than Hayasaka Nao himself. The only person in the team who can help Imagawa Ujimoto is Ginkgo, who is disguised as a man. She is extremely talented. , with just one click, and with his flexible skills, he has already provided several assists to Imagawa Ujimoto.
"Ah? Then how did you win until now?" Umeyama Jiro glanced at the stances and preparations of the other five people, and realized that Hayasaka Nao was not pretending to be modest, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Wouldn't this game be won by the first three players?" Nao Hayasaka asked in confusion, leaving Umeyama Jiro completely confused. But before they could finish chatting, Cuju ran high into the field as the referee gave the order.
"Tarobo, grab the ball!" Umeyama Jiro shouted to his partner standing in the middle. His God-given big body almost never lost when fighting for the first ball.
Who could have expected that Imagawa Shimoto opposite Tarobo was so fast that when the Cuju was just thrown, he rushed towards the landing point like a bolt of lightning. Tarobo only saw a flash of white clothes in front of his eyes, and he hurriedly followed. Already half a body behind. Just when Tarobo was rushing to win the ball, Imagawa Ujimoto in front of him suddenly stopped and jumped in the opposite direction, staggering Tarobo.
The cuju landed just in front of Tarobo, but Tarobo, whose vision was blocked by Imagawajimoto, could not react immediately. He could only watch the cuju bounce over his shoulder and fall behind him - and Imagawajimoto With a twist of the knee, he had already bypassed Tarangfang, jumped behind him and grabbed Cuju. As soon as he got the ball, he had already passed someone.
"It's this move again!" The spectators, who were surrounding three circles inside and outside the Cuju court, roared excitedly again, but Imagawa Shimoto didn't pause for a moment and dribbled the ball straight towards Fengliuyan. The four people on the side immediately came to surround him, but Imagawa Shiyuan's figure flashed, and he moved with unimaginable fancy steps. The Cuju seemed to be stuck to his feet, and they could not be snatched away no matter what.
Four people surrounded him, but Imagawa Shigen was still able to break out of the encirclement by dodging left and right. Facing the last defender to pounce, Imagawa Ujimoto pretended to take a shot. In fact, he added a strong spin to Cuju. Cuju flew forward for a short distance and then bounced back to the ground, but the defender had already been shaken away. location. Imagawa Ujimoto volleyed in the air against the bouncing kick, and the kick went straight to the romantic eye behind the defender at an astonishing speed, piercing through without missing a beat.
The audience burst into applause, but the six famous Cuju players were dumbfounded - Imagawajimoto's five teammates didn't even need to move, they just watched Imagawajimoto score six goals - no wonder Umeyama Jiro just watched Hayasaka Nao didn't even break a sweat.
However, they were all veterans and were not discouraged by conceding a goal first. They immediately kicked off the ball and launched a counterattack. Unexpectedly, Imagawa Shimoto was not even able to defend himself, so he smiled and let Umeyama Jiro pass by. The five teammates behind him came to defend, but they obviously didn't have any Cuju skills. They were easily swayed by Umeyama Jiro and his teammates, and they took a shot - 1:1.
"This..." The huge contrast between the helpless goal and the effortless goal made these famous Cuju players feel at a loss. "The five people on the opposite side are not good at all and can't guard even one ball." , how did you win so many games?"
Before he finished speaking, Imagawa Ujimoto, who was kicking the ball from the opposite side, rushed into the formation with Cuju. This time they learned the lesson from last time. Everyone came and carefully surrounded Imagawa Shimoto, not giving Imagawa Shimoto any chance to move. After all, he is also a famous Cuju player, so he is still confident of six defenses and one defense. Imagawaji Motoya was not swollen, and he passed Cuju behind him lightly. Ginkgo, who caught the ball, lifted Cuju lightly with the instep of his feet, and then kicked it hard, sending Cuju flying high into the air.
Now Imagawaji Moto also ran a few steps back and met Kira Usei who was running forward in the midfield. Kira Usei slightly bent over, and Imagawa Ujimoto jumped up high, stepped on Kira Usei's shoulders, jumped into the air, rolled his body with amazing core strength, and faced Ginkgo's pass. Taking advantage of the situation, an upside-down golden hook - Cuju flew over the opponent's defender's head in the air and went straight to Fengliu's eyes. None of the six famous Cuju players could realize that Imagawa Ujimoto would directly attack the goal in this way, and watched helplessly. The ball goes in. The audience cheered again, applauding Imagawa's miraculous performance.
"It's okay, they can't guard against it." After a few words of comfort to his companions, Umeyama Jiro kicked off again, past Imagawa Yoshimoto who didn't return to defense, and relying on his tacit cooperation with his companions, he easily defeated Imagawa Ujimoto's The teammates made a clean pass and hit the goal accurately - 2:2.
It was Imagawa Ujimoto's turn to kick off again. This time he actually chose to hit the goal directly from the kick-off point. However, the route from the kick-off point to Feng Liuyan was full of people, so he couldn't score no matter what. Sure enough, Imagawa's Genna was so crooked that he flew straight up and out of the field. Just when the famous Cuju players were about to call for help to pick up the ball, Imagawa Shimoto suddenly snapped his fingers in the direction of Cuju and smiled confidently:
"middle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cuju that was spinning sharply in the air fell straight down, drawing an elegant arc and piercing the romantic eyes behind the famous Cuju players.
"Here we go again! One kick to win!"
The cheers were earth-shattering, and the entire stadium was boiling. Only the stunned Cuju king Umeyama Jiro was left, thinking back to what Hayasaka Nao said just now:
·
“Isn’t this game the one who gets the first three points first?”
·
It turned out that what he meant was...even if they couldn't guard a single goal, the young man in white wouldn't miss a single one. He scored three goals in a row, didn't he win?
Winning fourteen games in a row and scoring forty-two goals in a row. With this skill, even if the masters of the Namba family and the Asukai family come, they will have no choice but to be inferior.
