Kenshiro and Ryu head to where Kouketsu is.










Having left the village, Ken and Ryu enter a larger one where they happen to overhear someone talking about Kouketsu. The man has a large crowd of people watching him, as he shows off how much food he has and that it has all come from Kouketsu's farm. He asks people to come with him to this farm, as anyone who does can grow their own crops and make their own food -as long as they do the work. He convinces one large man and his family to go, although the father wonders if it is a trick -the man says that he doesn't have a face of a liar, and would shave his own head and rip out his own tongue if he was telling a lie. The family decide to go, as do Kenshiro and Ryu.



They move out on truck and as the journey starts, a man sitting by Ryu says that he knows Kouketsu -the man used to be his servant. They were both part of Raoh's army, but Kouketsu was just a weak weasel who was in charge of feeding the horses. The trucks arrive at a huge piece of land which belongs to Kouketsu, and Kouketsu himself appears.



However, as soon as he appears, Jimba, the man who was talking to Kenshiro on the truck, walks up and says he is here to kill Kouketsu and take everything he owns. However, Kouketsu's troops surround their leader, and even though Jimba recognises them to be men from his old unit, they shoot and kill him. Kouketsu says that the times have changed, and no longer to people fight over scraps of food. Now it is about owning as much land as possible to create as much food as possible, and that thinking like Raoh did will get you nowhere. Kouketsu then has the new recruits restrained and sent to a place known as Red Valley -a horrible part of the land where nothing can grow. Ryu wants Ken to fight, but he refuses, saying that this battle is Ryu's, not his own. Although just before they go, Ken kills the guy who told them to come here -by having his hair rip out and then his tongue burst out of his mouth.
