Jin Kazama and Kazuto Mishima stood in the heart of the now Rebuild Mishima Dojo, bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun and the pink cherry blossoms of spring. It had been a grueling day of training for the two of them, the clash of blades and their fists echoing throughout the dojo. Jin, now 27 years old, had taken his little brother under his wing, determined to impart his martial wisdom to his little brother and those who needed him.
Jin couldn't help but be reminded of the turbulent times that had led him here. The memory of the events that happened 6 years ago still weighed heavily on his conscience. He had fought against his own family, betrayed his mother’s teaching, and unleashed devastating chaos upon the world. He had realized however that the path he once had been on was one of self-destruction.
It was 5 years ago when Jin was woken up after fighting Azazel, where he made a life-altering decision. He chose a path of redemption, determined to make amends for the destruction he had caused. He set out on a journey, seeking answers about the mystery of Azazel, the entity that had manipulated him and fueled his descent into darkness. In his quest for redemption, he also sought any information he could find about the Hachijo clan, hoping to uncover their secrets and perhaps find a way to prevent history from repeating itself.
Kazuto, at the tender age of 5, had proven to be a prodigious student, inheriting not the Devil Gene, but the Kazama powers from their mother, Jun.
Thank god he’s nothing like me
Jin thought as their practice swords clanged together for the umpteenth time, Jin finally stepped back, a faint smile gracing his lips.
"Alright that’s enough for today Kazuto" Jin said placing his wooden sword on his belt
"Already? But I still need a lot of work big brother!" Kazuto folded his hands, a little pout unfolding on his lips "I want to train a lot so i can be like you”
Jin then chuckled and nabbed his little brother taking him outside
"You're all worn out, aren't you?" he asked, concerned in his eyes.
Kazuto nodded vigorously. "Mmm, I am sleepy, but I want to practice more."
Jin chuckled softly. "No, we're done for today," he declared firmly. "Let's head back home to Mom and Kazuya. Mom would kill me if I didn't let you rest after all that training."
"You promise we'll train again tomorrow, big brother?"
Jin's heart swelled with pride as he met Kazuto's gaze. "Of course, Kazuto," he replied, his voice filled with warmth. "We'll train every day until you become a true warrior."
Kazuto beamed with enthusiasm, his eyes reflecting his unwavering determination. They left the dojo behind, with the sound of their footsteps echoing through the hallowed halls.
The Rebuild Mishima Dojo had become a symbol of newfound hope for the Mishima clan and the whole world too little by little. The dark legacy of the Devil Gene and the Mishima cruelty was being replaced by the teachings of the Kazama and the true nature of the Mishima clan, something that Jin and Kazuto's great grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima always wanted the clan to be.
The Mishima clan were once an exorcist clan whom used to seal ancient spirits, malevolent or not. After Heihachi Mishima took over, the clan’s once compassionate and benevolent reputation was ripped away from them. Their father Kazuya Mishima was one of the victims of his father’s cruelty, and he as well was once a monster. It was thanks to their mother, Jun Kazama who was determined to bring back the boy that Kazuya once was, they were able to be together like this.
Outside, the Mishima estate was there standing proudly, rebuilt from the ashes of past conflicts. It was because of Claudio's sacrifice, that the Mishima family was able to find newfound hope after Claudio's intervention had rid Kazuya of the Devil Gene. Kazuto, their second son, lived there with them, he was one of the embodiments that this was a new era of hope.
As they approached the grand entrance, they could hear the soft hum of conversation and laughter. Inside, Jun was busy preparing dinner, Anna Williams, who was an old friend of Jun and Kazuya, offered to teach Jun some cooking lessons so Jin hoped that the food won’t be burned this time around. Kazuya, watched her with a contented smile.
Jun looked up as Jin and Kazuto entered, her eyes filled with warmth. "How was training today, my loves?"
Kazuto practically bounced with excitement. "It was amazing, Mom! Jin taught me so many cool moves!"
Jin smirked at the exaggerated praise. "We had a good time, didn't we, Kazuto?"
Jun's eyes twinkled with pride as she set the table. "I'm glad to hear that, Kazuto. But now, it's time for you and your brother to rest and eat dinner."
After dinner, as Kazuto lay in his bed, he couldn't help but think about the day's training. He had a long journey ahead of him, but with his family and brother by his side, as well the teachings of his older brother, he knew he would become a formidable Mishima warrior, not one of what the past generations like Heihachi were, but rather he would become a beacon of hope in a world that had seen too much conflict.
In the quiet of the night, as Jin watched over his sleeping brother, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment. He wasn't burdened by the weight of the Devil Gene that he still had, but instead, with his power, he was focused on protecting the world and his family. Guiding them towards a brighter future. The Mishima Zaibatsu, Dojo and the family as whole, was something that was once a symbol of turmoil, but now with Jin, Lars and Kazuto it was becoming a symbol of hope, and Jin was determined to protect it with all his strength.
