Chapter: 23: Eyes

The forest grows stranger and more dangerous as Kenshiro and his companions push deeper into enemy territory. A disturbing presence fills the woods—unnatural, watchful, and ever-present. The group’s cohesion is tested as they must rely on instinct, discipline, and each other’s strengths to survive. A confrontation with a fearsome adversary pushes them all to their limits, revealing new layers of trust, resolve, and power. As the dust settles, Kenshiro is left with more questions than answers—about the forest, about himself, and about the path ahead.
