"You know?" Takako Uro a little excited. If she could figure out his Cursed Technique, she would be more confident in the fight.
Kenjaku walked to the window, her fingers lightly tapping on the windowsill, and whispered, "You know, I possessed the body of his older brother, Aoki Akawa. The memories inside tell me that Igarashi Amaha was an orphan, and his surname came from the swaddling cloth he was wrapped in as an infant. The surname Igarashi is not common; even a thousand years ago, it was extremely rare. Although they were few in number back then, they were a family that could rival the Three Great Families families, simply because of their powerful Cursed Technique — the Cursed Technique Igarashi Amaha used before his awakening."
Takako Uro frowned. "The previous Cursed Technique? What do you mean? Wasn't his previous awakening Reverse Cursed Technique? Could it be that the Cursed Technique itself has changed?"
" Reverse Cursed Technique? He already had that more than ten years ago. Even without this awakening, he was already ridiculously powerful. Don't misunderstand." Kenjaku sneered.
"What exactly is going on? Why can the Cursed Technique be changed?" After just a few words, Takako Uro felt like her CPU was about to burn out.
"It is indeed somewhat unbelievable, but that's the truth. The Igarashi Family Clan can be said to produce one outstanding individual per generation, but one person can support an entire generation. However, there are always unexpected events. The previous head of the Igarashi Family Clan, Igarashi Akemi, who is also the strongest in the world and the mother of Igarashi Amaha, became the head of the family at the young age of 20. She refused the marriage arranged by the family and instead fell in love with a man from Hua Capital who was visiting Japan. Igarashi Akemi was tired of the various open and covert struggles within the family, so she chose to run away."
"Young people are really willful."
Kenjaku nodded, seemingly with some emotion. "Yes, 20-year-olds are always so impulsive, and impulsiveness always comes at a price. The Igarashi Family Clan, having lost Igarashi Akemi, was swallowed up by their ally Sato family, in just nine months. Then, the Sato family sent out a large number of Jujutsu Sorcerer to assassinate Igarashi Akemi, and then all the news was sealed off. However, what is certain is that Igarashi Amaha was born and abandoned around this time."
Takako Uro blinked, still somewhat confused. "So, after half a year, all you found out was that Igarashi Amaha's mother is a person of strong emotions? Does that have anything to do with his Cursed Technique?"
"How could that be? Do you remember Igarashi Akemi's husband, that man from Hua Capital?"
"What's wrong?" Takako Uro completely baffled, unable to understand the connection between the two things.
Kenjaku's smile faded. "That man's Cursed Technique is ' Sword of Authority '."
"Uh..." Takako Uro's expectant face froze. "So? And then? Does this have anything to do with Igarashi Amaha?"
"The branch of Cursed Technique in Hua Capital is very simple. If someone can awaken the ' Sword of Radiant Authority ' Cursed Technique, then their ancestor can only be one person."
"Who?"
Kenjaku's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he slowly uttered four words, "An emperor for all ages..."
Without giving Takako Uro a chance to speak, Kenjaku continued, "I also saw this by chance in an ancient book many years ago. More than two thousand years ago, there was only one country and one family in this world. Everyone else was just a mob. Under the rule of this country, there was only one voice in the whole world, that of the emperor, who was also the ancestor of Igarashi Amaha's father. He was called the First Emperor, who unified the six kingdoms and ensured eternal prosperity. His country... was called 'Qin'!"
The moment the word "Qin" was uttered, the air pressure in the room seemed to drop several degrees, causing the two of them to catch their breath. Takako Uro stared intently at Kenjaku, "What exactly do you mean?"
Kenjaku grinned menacingly, his expression terrifying. "I investigated all the ancient books, all the information about that person. There are only two phrases about his Cursed Technique: 'A thousand changes, the unity of heaven and earth!' And this is Igarashi Amaha's Cursed Technique. He can unconditionally use all Cursed Technique in this world, and they are even more powerful than Cursed Technique originals! My brain tells me that this Cursed Technique is unsolvable! This is the conclusion I've reached after half a year of arduous investigation."
"Hehehehe." Kenjaku suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with hatred. "I understand now, I understand everything about Igarashi Amaha, I understand why that person's Cursed Technique wasn't inherited, I understand why Igarashi Amaha inherited it all in one go, hahahahaha, all of this, all of this, is thanks to me, hahahahaha."
"That one was able to awaken this Cursed Technique because he was born like a ferocious beast, possessing a physique far surpassing others, thus enabling him to bear this Cursed Technique. But what about Igarashi Amaha? He's just a worthless orphan who luckily awakened his mother Igarashi Akemi's Cursed Technique. It would have been fine if that were all, that would have been enough. He's strong, but not that strong. I could have killed him too. But instead, I helped him dissolve Igarashi's Cursed Technique! Everything was just right. He just happened to be that once-in-a-millennium genius, just happened to have undergone decades of training, and his physique was now capable of bearing that Cursed Technique. Just happened that the dissolved Cursed Technique made way for him."
Snap!
Kenjaku smashed the glass with a punch, turned around and roared at Takako Uro, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I am Igarashi Amaha, you could say that I single-handedly made him who he is!"
"That Mahito! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come up with this idea. Bastard, bastard, all of you are bastards." Now that he had said this reality aloud, it was like a fuse that ignited his complete outburst, causing him to vent his endless rage.
Takako Uro was also shocked to see Kenjaku suddenly lose control of his emotions. After all, Kenjaku was a person who had lived for thousands of years and had always been a man of great wisdom and strategy. But now he had become crazy because of Igarashi Amaha. It was really scary.
"Hahahaha, Igarashi Amaha, right, right." Kenjaku ran up to Takako Uro in a frenzy, grabbed her shoulders and shook her, "Do you know what he said to me when he used Kurourushi to pass on a message to me?"
"What?"
"I just told him he'd regret it, and he said I... he said I... he said I shouldn't be so arrogant, it makes me look weak. That bastard, when I was world-famous, he was still nobody, and he actually... damn it!"
After saying that, Kenjaku released Takako Uro and walked to a dark corner, panting heavily to calm his anger.
After an unknown amount of time, the sunlight faded, and the pale moonlight shone into the office. Takako Uro and three unidentified figures sat facing each other, and no one spoke.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Having calmed down, Kenjaku emerged from the shadows. Moonlight illuminated his face, and that faint smile reappeared on it, as if everything that had just happened wasn't his doing.
"I was just possessed by a ghost, don't take it seriously." Kenjaku then turned to Choso three men, "Promise me you won't tell anyone, okay?"
