Takuza was silent the entire time after he had said his words. The boy’s face seemed to have no life as he stood up and walked away from Takuza. He personally couldn’t say anything as the boy was simply crushed. It was going to take some time before he had gotten over it. Takuza completely understood that, but one thing was for sure… this was the life of the shinobi. There would eventually be a time that the boy would get over it, but until then it would take time to heal a wound of this magnitude. Takuza then watched as the boy constantly swung his sword viciously against the tree. It leaving large gashes on each side as he simply allowed him to release his frustration.

As he watched him do so and actually get tired, Takuza stood up and began walking towards him slowly. His mind completely clear as he looked at the sky and only thought to himself. He would simply think about what Akira would say to possibly put the boy’s mind at ease. Though he personally didn’t know Akira too well, he knew how he would think by a simple exchange of fists during their first meeting. Takuza would then say to Ryouta;

“Keep your head up and keep working hard, things will eventually become better with practice.”

His voice was smooth and calm, almost like it was flawless with no hesitation. He then extended his right arm forward and attempted to place it over the boy’s head. Doing this he would attempt to ruffle his hair in a form to show the boy compassion and in a way some affection. Takuza wanted to make the boy feel better, but to do that he needed to give him time. But with just a bit of motivational pep talk, he would hopefully spark the boy’s soul a bit.
