The Appearance of the Second Crystal Coffin

Time is slowly but surely moving forward.

Shirou Emiya's traces seem to never disappear because the person who once truly existed will always be remembered by the Konoha ninja, and he will reappear whenever people might forget him.

For example-·

The course of medical ninja.

No medical ninja can avoid his name.

Treatment methods for any disease can be found in the Medical Record Scroll he left behind.

Tsunade gradually grew up.

She became an excellent medical ninja.

Over the years, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru formed a ninja team and carried out many missions for Konoha, and her strength has become stronger and stronger.

To put it bluntly...

Tsunade is probably the strongest in the team. She can act as a combat ninja who blocks all attacks at the front, a medical ninja who heals the wounded at the back, and even an excellent sensory ninja.

Because she had been taught by Shirou Emiya.

Same.

Tsunade aspires to be like Shirou Emiya.

Tsunade has been relentlessly searching for clues throughout the Shinobi World.

Because of the bedtime stories she heard as a child, she always believed that a medical ninja should have one on his shoulder, and she finally found the legendary Shikkotsu Forest.

The only problem is that this one doesn't seem to be that small.

Although its voice is very cute and soft, its size is as frightening as a huge, endless mountain.

Fortunately.

They acted very kindly.

At least it's as kind as it is in fairy tales.

This immediately eased Tsunade's tension.

"So you're a medical ninja?"

Its voice was soft and pleasant. It seemed worried that the light blonde girl was afraid, so it took the initiative to split off a small part of its body.

"Yes-"

Tsunade's heart finally relaxed.

Because this little one looks cuter.

"Then let me see if your Medical Ninjutsu is up to par—"

The sound of the falling object suddenly stopped. It sensed Tsunade's brow and saw a strange diamond-shaped mark there, which was divided into two triangles in the middle.

The upper triangular mark is half black and the lower triangular mark is half purple, making it look quite peculiar. However, this peculiar mark does not stand out on Tsunade's forehead; instead, it accentuates her beauty.

"That mark is..."

His voice suddenly became somewhat agitated.

"This is"

Tsunade instinctively wanted to avoid the question.

As she grew older and became a qualified ninja, she would subconsciously want to keep the secret whenever she thought about that person.

However, Tsunade quickly realized another problem; her body suddenly stiffened because she realized that she must know that person.

"Perhaps I've mistaken him for someone else—"

They even subconsciously avoided the question.

Because that person's plan has always been a secret.

For that nonsensical plan, the man left behind his eyes and a Crystal Coffin, which he kept safe and sound.

Crystal Coffin can accompany it.

Those eyes could keep looking at it.

In this Shikkotsu Forest, it has spent more than a thousand years, and has accompanied a Crystal Coffin for more than a thousand years, or rather, it has been accompanied by that Crystal Coffin for more than a thousand years.

Although it was unclear why half of the body was left, perhaps leaving the whole body would have allowed it to revive faster, it always obediently trusted that person.

That person once mentioned it.

Sooner or later, they will meet again.

The day they are able to reunite will be the day his life is no longer limited, and at that time, those eyes will be returned to him.

Actually, it doesn't know how to make a human immortal, but the person who raised it said so, so it has been obediently waiting here for the day of reunion, because that person entrusted everything to it.

More than a thousand years have passed, but that day has not yet come. Every day, it can only stare blankly at the silhouette in the Crystal Coffin, recalling its past when it was still a child.

That person once mentioned that most of his life was boring.

If you don't want to make the long hours boring, you need to do something meaningful during a certain period so that you can use the remaining time to continue to savor that meaningful past.

But··

This has taken far too long.

Because its lifespan is simply too long.

The only thing that sustains it is that beautiful childhood memory, which seems so short compared to thousands of years, making it feel like time is endless the more it reminisces about it.

"Let's test the Medical Ninjutsu first."

Looking at Tsunade in front of her, she softly stated her request. "If you can satisfy me, we can sign Summoning Contract— "

Tsunade passed the test with great ease.

For her, this test couldn't be simpler.

The clone perched on Tsunade's shoulder, watching her sign the Summoning Blood Contract, and slowly praised her, saying, "Your Medical Ninjutsu is excellent. If one day your Medical Ninjutsu becomes even better, there will be a special gift~"

"What constitutes meeting the standard?"

Tsunade asked with some curiosity.

"This is a unique ability."

The clone takes this matter very seriously because it's something that master instructed them to do, "It's about being able to store Chakra normally and maintain the body's functions at their peak through extremely subtle Chakra control—"

Tsunade remained silent for a moment.

The blonde girl slowly raised her head and touched the lower half of the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, because it was a technique she had developed.

At the same time··

It's a technique that person mentioned.

This method of Chakra control not only puts the body in peak condition but also allows for further refinement of medical skills.

Only through long-term training in this way can one become an excellent medical ninja in the future, even capable of performing any delicate surgery on patients.

The upper half of the diamond-shaped mark on Tsunade's forehead is Curse Mark, which allows her to Curse Mark using Natural Energy. The lower half is Mitotic Regeneration, which she can use to train her Chakra control and release during battle.

Furthermore, Natural Energy can make Chakra stronger.

"Is this it?"

Tsunade stroked the lower half of the mark on her forehead, seemingly a little embarrassed. "Although I've only just managed to successfully cultivate it in the last few years, it sounds like this."

The clone's tentacle touched Tsunade's diamond-shaped mark. It unconsciously wanted to touch the upper part because it felt a sense of familiarity.

This familiarity—

It's just too easy to pique its curiosity.

However, the clone obediently went about its business first, sensing Tsunade's Mitotic Regeneration.

My body stiffened involuntarily.

Yes-

That's it.

That person mentioned it before.

Only those who have cultivated to this level are qualified to obtain that Crystal Coffin.

I think I asked myself if this would allow us to reunite.

The man seemed to be smiling as he said that there was a possibility of a reunion, and that if something really went wrong, at least the Crystal Coffin could be used to help advance medicine in the Shinobi World.

The laughter of that time—

It made me very sad to hear.

Now··

Is it time?

More than a thousand years is a long time, isn't it?

Now that I've actually met a medical ninja who has cultivated to this level, I should be able to send that Crystal Coffin away, right?

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the gift—"

The clone quickly retracted its tentacles.

"Good.."

Tsunade was somewhat confused.

She was even guessing what the other person's gift was.

However, Tsunade vaguely understood why that person always liked her and why she would always appear in his stories, because she was genuinely well-behaved and cute.

What kind of gift could it be?

Tsunade only wished it wouldn't be Medical Record Scroll anymore.

Because she could always see Medical Record Scroll left by Shirou Emiya in various places in Konoha related to medical materials, and even the Anbu had a batch of them stored. It is said that the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, had the Anbu bring them back when he accompanied Emiya Tsuchihara on his travels!

Just as Tsunade was thinking this, she felt the ground beneath her feet suddenly begin to collapse!

The next moment!

Shikkotsu Forest really looked like a landslide!

Because the enormous body, which stretched as far as the eye could see like an endless mountain range, began to rapidly split into countless smaller ones!

These tiny creatures, as numerous as drops of water in a river, were lifting something up, and that thing was slowly moving towards Tsunade!

Tsunade has good eyesight.

Because of her good eyesight, she was able to see that these small, river-like structures were carrying something.

It was a Crystal Coffin.

The Crystal Coffin has extremely exquisite patterns.

Tsunade's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the Crystal Coffin; she wasn't noticing its magnificence.

She only caught a glimpse of a familiar profile.

In that Crystal Coffin. —·

A familiar profile is lying there.

Legend has it that the Ancient Era medical ninja Shirou Emiya left behind two Crystal Coffin, one of which remained with the Senju Clan, while the other's whereabouts remained unknown. No wonder...

No wonder the Crystal Coffin has been missing for so long, because it has always been located in the Wet Crystal Coffin Shikkotsu Forest.

This is the last Crystal Coffin in the world, and also the last piece of Shirou Emiya's body remains in this world.

"It's for you."

The clone on Tsunade's shoulder whispered.

A group of clones clung to the Crystal Coffin, unwilling to leave.

"This is a person's Crystal Coffin."

The clone on Tsunade's shoulder spoke softly, as if afraid of waking the sleeping half-corpse in the Crystal Coffin: "I wonder if you've ever heard of his name."

"Emiya Shibara".

Tsunade reached out and touched the Crystal Coffin. Looking at the familiar profile inside, she suddenly shed tears. "I know his name."

Even-

I've met him before.

That was more than ten years ago.

His story is still told in the Shinobi World today; he left behind many precious treasures for this world.

But he alone was not spared.

"Can I take it with me?"

Tsunade's heart began to race.

Because Tsunade had seen the other party with her own eyes and knew how to revive him using half a corpse, but that forbidden technique for reviving him had long been permanently sealed by Konoha and was absolutely not allowed to be practiced by anyone.

"Sure."

The clone on Tsunade's shoulder sounded somewhat aggrieved.

A group of small clones slowly fell off the coffin.

"If you have time—"

Tsunade noticed the clone's reluctance and explained earnestly, "I will summon you again."

You can visit him sometime.

"In all the stories of the Shinobi World, just like us now, there will always be a little one on his shoulder—"

"Huh?"

The clone was somewhat surprised.

Now·-·

Is there any more of his story?

"Actually.-"

Tsunade brought up her childhood with some embarrassment. "Lord Shirou once returned to this world."

Has Wei Yuan-sama returned?

The terminology used for the clones is somewhat unusual.

Throughout the Shinobi World, he is generally referred to as Lord Shirou or Lord Shirou, and some people also call him Lord Shirou or Lord Shirou.

I was somewhat shocked by this news!

The entire Shikkotsu Forest trembled, and countless small clones reunited, quickly transforming back into the original body whose boundaries were invisible!

"Wei Yuan-sama?"

This was the first time Tsunade had heard this unique title.

"Because I was raised by Wei Yuan-sama— "

The voice of the main body was almost identical to that of the clone, and it even happily brought up its past. "Wei Yuan-sama told me to call you that."

No.

The form of address is not important.

Most importantly, it finally received news of Wei Yuan-sama!

Although they haven't reunited yet, it knows that Wei Yuan-sama's plan will definitely succeed.

He once said that they would meet again someday!

"Where is Wei Yuan-sama now?"

He asked with great curiosity.

"He—died again."

Tsunade immediately became somewhat annoyed.

Because of Shirou Emiya's sudden departure, she never imagined it would be a final farewell, leaving her without even the chance to say goodbye.

"Oh."

He didn't say anything more.

Because the matter of resurrection is a secret that must never be mentioned.

Even worse, some say...

Their past is something that cannot be discussed.

"Never mind."

"Let his soul rest in peace in the Underworld."

Tsunade sighed and looked at the silhouette in the Crystal Coffin: "Now I understand, he never really liked this era."

There was no further reply.

In truth, Wei Yuan-sama probably dislikes the tranquility of the Underworld even more; he prefers this vibrant and colorful world.

He loves every color in the world.

He wanted to live!

I will live on in this world forever!

But·-·

These things cannot be said.

However··

Now there is finally hope.

Perhaps..

This Crystal Coffin

We really can bring Wei Yuan-sama back!
