Summary: Jack has once again entered a tournament- the Circle of Three, an ancient ritual that tests a samurai's courage skill and spirit to the limit. He is no longer treated as a foreigner, as he has won the Taryu-Jiai, but fellow samurai Kazuki is still constantly bullying Jack, along with his Scorpion Gang.
But now he knows that some ninja are plotting against all Christians in Japan, and this reminds him of how unforgiving ninja can be. After a near-death experience in the Circle of Three, Jack swears to get revenge on Kazuki, even accusing him of cheating in the sacred ritual.
Whether I enjoyed it: Yes, because it (like the first book) has amazing descriptions. The plot wasn't as good though, but overall, it was great.

Summary: After lethal ninja Dokugan Ryu (Dragon Eye) has gotten hold of his father's rutter (a mariner's handbook of written sailing directions), the most precious item in Jack's possession,  Jack suspects that Father Bobadillo, a brother of the society of Jesus, now has the rutter in his possession, after seeing an almost identical-looking book in his room. The year is 1613 and Japan is threatened with war. Eventually meeting a Spanish man fleeing down the streets of Japan and trying to get to Hokkaido, Jack is feeling the pressure beating down on him harder than ever. When a fire tears through the Niten Ichi Ryu, Jack barely misses getting burned alive, strangled by a chain, getting kidnapped, and even poisoned. But when Jack accidentally kills someone in the Scorpion Gang (Kazuki's gang of bullies), Kazuki swears revenge by bullying Jack at every chance he gets. As Jack learns how to ride a horse, competes in a boat race with his previous experience as a sailor, writes several haikus, and gets hit by almost every weapon in the dojo by his sensei, Jack finally realizes what it truly means to be a samurai. Jack's survival- and that of his friends- depends upon him mastering the technique of the Two Heavens, the secret sword technique of the legendary samurai Masamoto Takeshi.
Whether I enjoyed it: This book is probably the best out of the three Young Samurai books I have read so far, with the longest story (417 pages), best plot, and best descriptions.
