His righteous spirit later gathered a number of warriors under his banner. A cheerful youth who is always caring to children. He looks up to his senior Kousonsan (Gongsun Zan). He met Sousou for the first time during the battle at Korou Fortress. Though they are working together at that time, he had a minor clash with Sousou (Cao Cao) because of their conflicting ideals. Having Ryofu (Lu Bu) covering him from Toutaku's (Dong Zhuo's) attack and seeing Ryofu collapse before him, Ryuubi fell into a rage and defeated Toutaku (Dong Zhuo) with the Tengyokugai "Souryuu". After the battle he was offered a place in Sousou's army but he refused and told Sousou that he decided to continue his travels. With the promise of meeting Sousou, Sonken (Sun Quan) and Sonshoukou (Sun Shangxiang) again, the three sworn brothers left on their journey being sent off by the promised three. In the Comic World version, the one who used the Tengyokugai to defeat Toutaku is Sonken (Sun Ce).
