The moonlight gently spilled across the earth.
It painted the earth and mountains with a faint silver glow.
Under the moonlight, Madara Uchiha held Kushinadahime tightly in his arms.
A White Snake, as long as an arm, was tightly coiled around Madara Uchiha's arm.
The snake flicked its tongue, constantly probing the air to indicate the direction to Madara Uchiha.
Kushinadahime's life was hanging by a thread, and conventional treatments were completely ineffective.
Madara Uchiha possessed extraordinary self-healing abilities, but he could not transfer these abilities to others.
He hadn't thought anything of it before, but now he suddenly felt that this ability was utterly useless.
The only person who can cure Kushinadahime right now is Shinsei, who came to this world with her.
Although the world is vast, fortunately, the White Snake of Ryūchi Cave was able to locate Shinsei's position.
No matter what, Shinsei must save Kushinadahime this time.
Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, feeling a pang of regret for the first time in his life. He regretted not being friendly enough to Shinsei in the past.
Hopefully, Shinsei won't let past conflicts delay Kushinadahime's treatment.
Cough cough.
Kushinadahime gently reached out from Madara Uchiha's embrace, wanting to stroke Madara's face.
Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, his body instinctively resisting such intimacy.
But he forced himself to resist the urge to turn away, letting Kushinadahime's somewhat rough right hand stroke his cheek.
Ban, thank you for saving me. But please don't trouble yourself.
I'm leaving. I never imagined that in the final moments of my life, someone would still care about me.
Thank you.
Madara Uchiha felt a sharp pain in his heart. Even though he hadn't been hurt, he still felt an indescribable discomfort.
He opened his mouth, but his mind seemed rusty; he didn't know how to express himself.
Kushinadahime withdrew her right hand, reached into her bosom, and tremblingly took out a flower bud the size of her palm.
Even in the dim light, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan still allowed him to clearly see the appearance of this flower that had not yet bloomed.
The black and white petals looked so peculiar. In Kushinadahime's hands, they trembled in the strong wind.
The petals are resilient, and they never fall off in the wind.
I noticed the spot yesterday.
This is the legendary Flower of Life. It is said that those who see it in full bloom will receive a blessing of love.
I don't deserve it. I'm giving it to you now, hoping you can find someone you love.
Kushinadahime's voice trailed off, and her arms slowly fell to her sides.
The Flower of Life in her hand was also blown away by the fierce wind that swept backward.
Madara Uchiha abruptly stopped. The gravity of his Rinnegan accurately captured the Flower of Life flying in the air.
The black and white Flower of Life landed steadily in Madara Uchiha's hand.
He felt the faint beating of Kushinadahime's heart in his arms and held her even tighter.
A pair of Rinnegan, like those of a god, looked down at the White Snake on his arm with the oppressive force of death.
"Take me to the Shinjō immediately, or I will raze your Ryūchi Cave to the ground."
Madara Uchiha, longing for Shinsei, gazed at the moon in the sky.
Moonlight streamed into the room through the wooden window, falling on Shinsei as he sat cross-legged.
His breathing was slow and steady.
The Kusanagi Sword lay across his knee, its blade gleaming with a faint white light that flickered with his breath.
The light was no longer as violent as before, but flowed along with the breath of Shinsei, like a tamed river.
The tremors of the Kusanagi Sword grew fainter and fainter.
With each breath he exhaled, the sword became a little quieter.
The will to resist that they had before had almost completely vanished.
Shinsei could sense the emotions emanating from the Natural Energy within the sword.
From resistance to hesitation, from hesitation to probing, from probing to getting closer.
It finally relinquished its sharp edge to him.
Haha, I've succeeded, Daoist Master!
Shinsei opened his eyes and looked down at the sword on his lap.
His face and those blue Mangekyō were reflected in the sword.
He flicked the blade lightly, Kusanagi Sword emitted a very faint hum, as if in response.
The once unruly artifact is now completely under his control.
At this moment, feeling the sharpness of the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, he wished he could immediately draw the sword and chop everything around him.
Just like when I was a child in my past life, holding a wooden sword, I wished I could kill all the rapeseed flowers.
After completely mastering the Kusanagi Sword, Shinsei finally understood why this special divine weapon possessed such great power.
The Kusanagi Sword itself is formed from a very special Natural Energy condensed between heaven and earth.
It represents a certain ultimate power between heaven and earth, or it can be called authority.
This kind of magical artifact, possessing spiritual power, is essentially a kind of alternative deity.
The Kusanagi Sword possesses the ability to cut through anything, and its blade can be sized as desired.
With enough Senjutsu Chakra, the Kusanagi Sword can annihilate everything.
Of course, to achieve that level of power with the Kusanagi Sword, a massive amount of Chakra would be required.
Even with Shinsei's current Chakra reserves, he couldn't unleash a single sword strike.
The only people who could truly unleash the full power of the Kusanagi Sword were probably Hashirama Senju or the Sage of Six Paths.
Even Otsutsuki Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra, could not unleash the full power of the Kusanagi Sword because she could not use Senjutsu.
However, Shinsei now has enough Chakra to deal with the enemy.
Shinsei wasn't drawn to the Kusanagi Sword's ability to obliterate everything. Rather, it was because the Kusanagi Sword suited Shinsei's fighting style.
It's important to know that Shinsei has always used extreme speed as his fighting style.
Forces act in pairs.
Extreme speed means that even an ordinary punch can generate extremely powerful kinetic energy.
This powerful kinetic energy will also be channeled back into Shinsei.
Although his current physical strength, combined with his Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique, is sufficient to withstand ordinary injuries.
However, Shinsei's speed will not be limited to this.
As the Descent of the Thunder God Project progresses, his speed will only increase further.
At that point, even a simple, ordinary strike to the enemy during rapid movement would cause both sides to suffer immense damage.
The Kusanagi Sword is different; its ability to annihilate everything amplifies Shinsei's attack speed and reduces the recoil damage from kinetic energy.
More importantly, the Kusanagi Sword is composed of Natural Energy, and in terms of energy level, it is on the same level as Senjutsu Chakra and the Six Paths Power.
Even Kaguya's Truth-Seeking Orb wouldn't cause any damage to the Kusanagi Sword.
He suppressed his urge to go out and slash wildly with the Kusanagi Sword.
Immediately, the Kusanagi Sword transformed into a peculiar ball of Natural Energy and entered Shinsei's dantian.
Kaguya stood at the doorway.
Her expression was more tense than usual, her lips were slightly pursed, and she looked somewhat uneasy.
" Shinsei, Madara Uchiha here."
