Chapter 49 Planting Trees During the Ninja Village Period (29) This is a very...
During his training with Kaguya Kirito, he naturally moved into the Senju Takeya household. Although he was quite excited and agitated, like master, like servant, Kaguya Kirito's face remained calm and expressionless, no matter how intense his inner thoughts were, except that his eyes shone with an almost frightening intensity.
In the room that Senju Takeya had prepared for him, Kaguya changed out of his pristine white battle uniform and into the clothes he wore during Senju Takeya's ninja clan days. He carefully put away his training pack, which contained not only dry rations but also, most importantly, paper and pen for writing letters. However, he had not yet decided what to write in his letter.
Senju Takeya was already quite tall in his youth, and his clothes were comfortable and loose, so his clothes in his youth were perfectly adequate for Kaguya Kirito, who is 189cm tall.
Although it is called polarization training, apart from accompanying his master in this form, Kaguya Kiri doesn't know what he needs to do to achieve a breakthrough in mind and body like other swords. However, everyone living in Honmaru with him says to just do as you please.
As Senju Takeya's sword, Kaguya Kirito naturally didn't want to fail in his polarization and embarrass his master. He valued Senju Takeya's glory more than his own life, but beneath Kaguya Kirito's calm and composed exterior lay a sense of confusion.
Only when the original spirit successfully completes its polarization cultivation can the [Current Affairs] customize a cultivation world for its divided spirit based on the memories of the original spirit's polarization cultivation, and open up polarization cultivation for the divided spirit.
After being injured by Kaguya Kirito and Isshiki Maru, they will enter a short period of berserk mode, activating aerial combat mode. At the cost of abandoning defense, they will expand their attack range and double their attack power, mobility, and evasion ability. During this period, only ranged enemies can pose a threat to them, making them extremely powerful.
There's a widely accepted saying on the Saniwa forum: "The reason Kaguya-giri and Isshiki-maru are five-color swords is because the highest rarity of a regular sword is five-color." It's hard to imagine how strong these brothers would be after they were fully evolved.
The [Current Affairs] that was able to borrow and implement Kaguya Kirito and Isshiki Maru is simply powerful. It directly showed [Shishu] what true world-class connections are.
However, when facing his young master, Kaguya Kiri was acutely aware of his own weakness and immaturity in every aspect. At this moment, his willpower was like a candle flame in the wind, and he desperately wanted to take this opportunity to stay by his master's side forever.
Kaguya Kirito knew that this was a kind of tempering and test for swordsmen who were training.
His master, Senju Takeya... His past, present, and future are all deeply imprinted with the other's mark. Even though the other lent him to [the government] without hesitation, Kaguya Kirito never doubted that his master might not want him anymore.
Once the [historical revisionists] are all wiped out, his master will come to take him away—Kaguya Kiri stayed quietly and silently in the Honmaru with this belief, just like the other sword spirits, fighting to protect the past and future of the world. Only Isshikimaru knew the almost twisted stubbornness hidden beneath his brother's indifference.
So when they learned that [the government] had opened his path to polarization training, no one knew how happy Kaguya Kirito was—he could finally see his master, in this flesh and blood body that could speak and touch him!
Her heart was still pounding wildly. Kaguya Kiri carefully smoothed out every wrinkle on her body in front of the mirror. Looking at her reflection, her ears were flushed. She awkwardly smoothed her hair in front of her ears to try to cover them, and then cheered herself up.
Now is the time for him to repay his master! Summon your courage! Kaguya-kiri!
When Indra flew upstairs and saw Kaguya Kiri wearing Senju Takeya's clothes, he was stunned for a moment. He then realized that the blade in front of him had the same qualities as him. They both regarded Senju Takeya as their ideal, so their words, actions and even temperament were undoubtedly close to Senju Takeya. However, Kaguya Kiri was even more so. He was just like Senju Takeya's shadow, a pure white shadow.
However, it's normal for the human form that the sword of the elder brother takes to be close to the elder brother.
"Lord Indra." Kaguya Kiri bowed to Indra upon seeing him. Whether by accident or subconscious, Kaguya Kiri knew that he also possessed Indra's characteristics, such as the red birthmark between his eyebrows or his clothing style. In addition, since they were both pure white, Kaguya Kiri was practically a version of Takeya from the Otsutsuki Sage.
"Okay." Indra responded, "Your elder brother is waiting for you downstairs. Hurry down, the second half of the sports meet is about to begin."
Kaguya Kiri realized that she had spent too much time getting ready. She was so excited to be wearing her master's clothes for the first time that she hurriedly replied, "Sorry!"
Indra nodded: "It's alright, I understand."
One person and one blade went downstairs together.
Kaguya descended the stairs and stood before Senju Takeya with utmost solemnity and reverence. "Master! I have a request to make!"
Senju Takeshi, seeing Kaguya Kirito's serious demeanor, tilted his head in confusion.
Kaguya Kiri, her heart pounding with tenderness at the sight of her young master, took a deep breath and looked at the still-childish Hime-fat boy carrying the white katana on his back. Her tone was firmer than ever before: "You have always carried me on your back, and now that I have a human form, I can finally repay you!"
Kaguya Kiri clenched her fist, her silver eyes gleaming with conviction: "I am very confident in my mobility! So please, Master, during my training period, ride me like a horse without mercy!"
Senju Takeya: ...?
Is this the sword's way of repaying a debt? Is this really his personality in the underworld? It's quite interesting that he says such things with such a serious expression.
Thousand Hand Bamboo nodded in agreement.
Indra's eyes widened immediately.
He never thought he could repay his elder brother in this way—wait, he's smaller than his younger brother now, so he has to think of another way to repay his elder brother!
Uchiha, the elder brother's personal household chores sprite, is filled with determination.
Outside the Senju clan compound, Tsunade looked at the Uchiha boy standing in front of her with a black katana on his back, her expression quite awkward. She acknowledged Uchiha Osama's feelings for Senju Takeya, but seeing the two so inseparable, she still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.
The two stared at each other, a sense of confrontation lingering between them, yet neither knew what to say. They had simply bumped into each other by chance; one was on his way to the arena to watch the sports meet, while the other had come specifically to pick up his close friend to take him to the sports meet venue.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, lifting their hair and the corners of their clothes.
"What has passed?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.
"What the hell did my best friend ride past on?" Uchiha Senji asked, puzzled.
Tsunade remained silent. She couldn't understand how Uchiha Osaka, who hadn't activated his Sharingan, could tell that the afterimage that had just flashed by was Senju Takeya's. Was this what bonds were?
So Tsunade asked earnestly, "How did you figure that out?"
"Takeshita smells so good. Even though he's almost gone, the scent still lingers," Uchiha Senji blurted out.
Tsunade's silence was deafening; she truly couldn't stand the Uchiha!
As soon as Uchiha Senma finished speaking, that 'thing' turned back on its own and stopped in front of them. It was none other than the white-haired, silver-eyed, adult nobleman version of 'Takeya' and the black-haired, black-eyed Takeya that they were familiar with.
At this moment, Senju Takeya, who was not set to have any special highlights in his eyes, was contrary to his usual image, his eyes sparkling with countless tiny lights, shining so brightly that it seemed as if the heavens had crushed and scattered countless stars into them.
At this moment, if Senju Takeshi wanted a star, Uchiha Senma could scoop one down for him in a Gundam.
"A close friend with a glint in his eye is twice as lethal," Uchiha Osaka thought to himself.
"Kaguya Kirito can fly at low altitudes!" Although Senju Takeya could do it himself, and even his own speed was faster, almost like teleportation, the speed of the mount gave him the joy of drawing a hidden treasure.
Kaguya Kirito had no expression, but he was scattering cherry blossoms. As everyone knows, when Touken Danshi are happy, they will create a cherry blossom blizzard, and the happier they are, the more intense the cherry blossom blizzard becomes. At this moment, Kaguya Kirito's cherry blossom blizzard was visibly intensifying and exploding.
Uchiha Senma wiped the cherry blossoms that had gotten onto his face. "Not bad, your horse even has special effects."
"So what is this?!" Tsunade's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this grown-up white 'Takeya' is a horse!"
"Kaguya-kiri, my beloved horse." From today onwards. Senju Take, having regained his usual composure, nodded in affirmation.
Senju Takeshi accepted the fact that his beloved sword had been turned into a horse, as it was ultimately the other party's wish to use it.
"Isn't it obviously a horse?" Uchiha Osaka looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression. "Auntie, are your eyes so bad that you can't even recognize a horse?"
If she weren't outmatched, Tsunade would have loved to give Uchiha Osaka a good punch.
"Are you really a horse?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask the white-haired youth carrying Senju Takeya on his back.
"Yes!" Kaguya Kirito's eyes and tone were incredibly firm. "I am my master's horse!"
"But Tajima can't speak human language, can he?!" Tsunade felt like she had been thoroughly fooled by the three of them working together.
Senju Takeya: "Yes, he is a very intelligent horse."
Having undergone rigorous training, Uchiha Osaka struggled to maintain his facial expression: "Yes, yes."
Kaguya Kirito said nothing more, only nodded.
When the spirits of swords come to the real history involving their own past to undergo extreme training, people are either unable to perceive the existence of the sword spirits, or they cannot see the sword spirits at all, just as people without spiritual power cannot see monsters.
There is also a special case where the sword boys interact with important pillars of the world or central figures in history, making it impossible for others to ignore them. In such cases, the world will rationalize the existence of the sword boys based on the circumstances.
"Why is the Wood Release Master riding a horse today? It is indeed a beautiful steed."
—Yes, just like that.
In this situation, Tsunade couldn't help but doubt herself. So many people along the way saw Senju Takeya riding on Kaguya Kirito's back without any surprise, and they all said it was a horse... Could it be that her eyes were playing tricks on her? Or perhaps there was something wrong with her brain?!
And so, Tsunade, questioning her existence, walked with the two people and a horse to the arena and returned to her seat to continue watching the match.
Kaguya Kirito could only feel apologetic towards Tsunade.
He never intended to have any interaction with Tsunade from the beginning. In fact, he had this attitude towards people from the past, with the exception of Senju Takeya and Uchiha Osaka.
Senju Takeya and Uchiha Osaka are unique beings in their own right. After the establishment of relations between the [Ninja World] and the world consciousness of their respective families, their destinies became completely independent, becoming beings outside the world's destiny and cause and effect. The reason they were able to gain such a high degree of freedom is that, regardless of their personalities and styles of doing things, the [Ninja World] had already seen their defining characteristics in the foreseeable destinies, which can be summarized in four words—great kindness and great love.
Simply put, as long as they live, they will inevitably bring positive influence and change to their environment. Both of them possess the most outstanding and powerful talents. Given the right environment, they are destined to become strong. Such people will have a high level of influence, ranging from at least one world to an unlimited number of worlds. Their worlds will also receive an excellent and stable environment for development and growth, continuously receiving nourishment and support. The worlds will then provide them with even better conditions. This is the positive feedback and virtuous cycle that countless worlds ideally desire.
Therefore, the [Ninja World] favored the two of them to the extreme, providing almost all the conditions it could. As a result, whatever Senju Takeya and Uchiha Osaka wanted to do, they would always have the right timing, location, and people. Any factors that might hinder their goals would be eliminated, even its own karma and destiny.
Therefore, the two individuals, who possess the characteristic of not being disturbed by the cause and effect of the world, are so special that those closely related to them can truly see and realize the existence of Kaguya Kiri. However, once Kaguya Kiri leaves this space-time, their memories will be erased and corrected, and there will be no trace of Kaguya Kiri left—unless they can see Kaguya Kiri again.
So Tsunade was questioning the meaning of life for a while, but once Kaguya-kiri finished her training and left, everything returned to normal, so there was no need to waste any more words.
The second half of the table tennis singles elimination tournament went smoothly and received a great response. Spectators were full of praise. After the first day of the games, all the hotels in Konoha Village were fully booked. Those who had booked hotels in advance felt incredibly smart.
The Akatsuki trio clearly showed a lack of enjoyment on their faces.
"That was so exhilarating! I really want to play a match like that!" Yahiko couldn't calm down even after the match ended. He was holding a non-existent racket in his hand. "Like this! Then backhand like this! And then hit a super spin water ball that amazes the whole audience!"
"Uchiha Osaka... that person is really amazing, to be able to come up with such a plan." Konan exclaimed, "The power of ninjas is not only for hurting each other."
Nagato wholeheartedly agreed and echoed, "Yes."
This event clearly shows what Uchiha Osaka's vision for the future development of the ninja world is, which makes them feel more at ease and trusting.
The three suddenly realized something and looked up at the exit of the arena. There stood a figure that was particularly conspicuous with his back to the light. His large flame fan and black katana made his figure look even smaller, but no one dared to underestimate this child who was only 9 years old but was already regarded as one of the strongest in the ninja world.
“The hotel is full. Considering you are partners of the Xinyi Merchant Guild, Takeya and I have arranged separate accommodations for you.” Uchiha Osaka had his usual smile on his face. “Come on, the three of you, we can discuss the details of the charity project’s follow-up development.”
The three members of Akatsuki quickly composed themselves and replied in unison, "We're in trouble!"
A few steps after leaving the arena, they saw Senju Takeya. This was normal, as Senju Wood Release users were usually inseparable from Uchiha Ougi. However, what was surprising this time was that a white-haired youth was standing next to Senju Takeya. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he should be a blood relative of Senju Takeya.
What was most unusual was that the person wore a white katana at his waist, just like the one worn by Senju Takeya. Logically speaking, that katana was a gift from the Land of Iron to the Alliance, and should be unique.
Don't other people find this strange?
There are still quite a few people around, but apart from them, no one looks at the young man with white hair and silver eyes who looks similar to Senju Takeya!
A terrifying thought popped into Yahiko's mind.
This...this can't be—
Doppelganger?! So, in order to take away a powerful Wood Release user, he's even in his adult form?!
"Young clan leader! Your best friend is going to die! Aaaaaaah!" Yahiko's face turned deathly pale.
Several red cross-shaped wells instantly appeared above Uchiha Senji's head. "Your best friend is the one who's going to die!"
Nagato: ?
Xiao Nan: Huh? Us? Now?
Senju Take glanced at Yahiko, then jumped onto Kaguya Kirito's back. Kaguya Kirito carried his master steadily, the movement so fluid it was as if it were playing in reverse.
Yahiko's eyes widened: "A Wood Release user riding a doppelganger?! This is what a Wood Release user is like?! They can even tame their own doppelganger! So powerful!"
Uchiha Osaka finally understood Yahiko's meaning, and a forced smile appeared on his lips: "That's just my best friend's beloved horse. Saying such unlucky things to your God of Wealth will result in your next month's payment from the Xinyi Merchant Guild being halved."
"Huh?!" Yahiko's eyes widened, and he pointed at Senju Takeya and Kaguya Kirito, desperately seeking confirmation from his two friends. "But those are doppelgangers, right? Doppelgangers!" He was clearly just telling the truth!
Konan glanced at him: "Really? It's just a very intelligent horse, isn't it?" Although it does seem like a doppelganger, but... Yahiko, I can only apologize to you now!
Nagato hesitated between his two friends for a moment, then whispered, "Yes, it's Ma..." The Shin-i Merchant Guild's payments to Akatsuki have already been halved next month, and can't be reduced any further, so please forgive me, Yahiko!
