Auto biografia
Cabe a todo discípulo buscar, e ao encontrar, seguir o caminho trilhado pelo mestre a fim de honrá-lo. A única forma de compensar o sacrifício daquele que abriu o caminho é dar -lhe uma companhia para sua sombra. Nem sempre é fácil, mas acredito que encontrar forças para tal feito seja essêncial.
(English translation)
"After training for a long time, I decided I wanted to know more about ninjutsu and myself, so I went to the mountain known as Maya-san in Kobe prefecture. At the mountain I lived besides a waterfall known as Kamenotaki for the period of a year. I would stay in a small room two tatami mats in size and would live on beans with no boiled rice. My training partner were the neighboring stones and rocks. Sometimes I would exercise my fingers hiting stones with them. I would jump on the rocks with my Kiai and leap off. During this time I developed a special sense. For example: I could stay at the top of the mountain and know how many people were climbing it, I could tell if they were men, women or something else. I became known as the "sennin" or "tengu" of the mountain."

It is up to every deciple to search, and upon finding, to follow the path treaded by the master in order to honor him. The only way to pay for the sacrificy of he who paved the way is to give his shadow company. It insn't always easy, but I believe finding the strength for such a feat is essential.
