Chapter 57 Mikazuki Munechika
In the forest next to the Konoha Memorial Monument, two figures, one large and one small, occasionally appeared under the light of fireworks in the sky.
"Well! You have indeed grown a lot." Kusanako gently rubbed Liuyu's head as before, saying with pity but mixed with relief.
After a pause, Kusanagi continued: "This time when I come to Konoha, besides wanting to see the specific situation of the children of the Kusana clan in Konoha, the other thing I want to do is to leave this to you. "With that said, Kusanako took off the long knife from her waist and handed it to Liu Yu.
"This is it?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
In fact, when she first saw Kusanako, she noticed the long knife that Kusanako had on her waist. She knew about the other short sword on Kusanako's waist. That short sword is Kusanako's common weapon, called the 'Thousand Blades', which is also made of a special metal that can carry chakra. When Chinako Kusana was teaching her, she often played with the 'Thousand Blades'. At first, when I saw the long knife on Kusanako's waist, I thought it was a new weapon she had found recently, but I didn't expect that this long knife was actually given to me!
"Open it and take a look!" Kusanako didn't answer, she just handed over the long knife in her hand and asked Liu Yu to open it.
"Yes!" Liu Yu replied softly, and then took the long knife.
Zheng~~
With a flash of cold light, Liu Yu pulled out the long knife from the sheath. The bright blade reflected on Liu Yu's face. He placed the knife horizontally in front of him, and Liu Yu looked at the long knife carefully.
The blade is two feet six inches long and four minutes (about 0 cm), and has a curvature of nine minutes (about 7 cm). At the same time, there are many crescent-shaped (three-crescent-shaped) blade patterns on the blade.
Zhengzheng~~~
Liu Yu tried waving the long knife in his hand, and his voice was surprisingly clear.
Liu Yu next tried to infuse chakra into the long knife in his hand, and then the blade reflected a blue glow. This knife is actually made of a special metal that can carry chakra. Have you been lucky lately? This kind of weapon made of special metal that can carry chakra actually appeared in front of him one after another.
The knife in his hand gave me a strange feeling, as if I was connected to my heart. Waving the long knife in his hand, Liu Yu couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
"This sword was named 'Mikazuki' because of the many crescent-shaped (three-crisp-moon-shaped) blade patterns on the blade. It was also called 'Mikazuki Munechika' because of its maker, Sanjo Munechika."
Looking at Liuyu's smile, Kusanako explained to Liuyu from the side.
"Mikayuki?" Liuyu nodded, it was indeed a good name. Then Ryūha thought of the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship Mikazuki Dance used by Moonlight Hayate. Both of them had "Mikazuki" in their names.
Konoha-style swordsmanship: Dance of the Three Suns and Moons, this rumor is the secret of the Konoha-style swordsmanship created by the second generation Hokage, and it is even a fatal move that can kill the enemy with one blow. It's a pity that Moonlight Hayate who used this move 'The Secret of Konohagakure's Swordsmanship' was blocked by Sunagakure's Maki and killed him.
"Sister Naizi, where did you get this knife?" Looking at the long knife in his hand, Liu Yu continued to ask.
Liu Yu could tell that 'Mikazuki Munechika' was not an ordinary weapon. This kind of weapon made of special metal that can carry chakra cannot be used by ordinary people. This time Cao Qiannaizi suddenly found him and said that he wanted to give the knife to him. Liu Yu couldn't help but wonder where did Chinako Kusana get this sword? Looking at the quaint scabbard, you can tell that this knife is quite old.
"This sword is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Caoqian clan. In a sense, it can also be said to be a token of the leader of the Caoqian clan."
"The clan leader's token? Then why haven't I seen my father use it?" Kusanako's explanation made Ryūyu even more confused. As the patriarch of the Cao Qian clan, his father, Cao Qianyu, has never seen him use this knife!
"That's because the previous owner of this sword was not your father, but your mother." Kusanako continued to explain.
"Mother?" Liu Yu muttered this word that might be a bit unfamiliar to him. Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or this life, Liu Yu had never experienced maternal love. The memory of his mother only exists in the yellowed photo.
"This sword was once the weapon of Cao Qianlanyi, the ancestor of the Cao Qian clan. After her, this sword became the symbol of the patriarch of the Cao Qian clan. But this sword was killed in a melee during the Warring States Period. The then leader of the Cao Qian clan was unfortunately lost."
"How could such an important thing be lost?" Liu Yu couldn't help but be speechless.
"After that, successive clan chiefs of the Kusanagi clan tried to find this sword, but none of them could find it. Until your mother's generation." After saying this, Kusanako paused for a moment, as if she was missing something.
"My mother? What happened to my mother? Did my mother find this knife?" Looking at Kusanagi's appearance, Liu Yu looked even more curious.
"Yes! This sword was indeed found by your mother, or to be precise, it was summoned back." Kusanako's words made Ryūha even more confused.
"Why do you think you are here today? And why am I waiting for you here?" Seeing the confusion on Liu Yu's face, Kusanako asked instead.
"This this??"
Hearing Kusanako's rhetorical question, Ryūha couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She was so excited when she saw Chinako Kusana before that she forgot about it.
When I came here, it could be said that I suddenly wanted to come here to have a look, but why was Sister Naizi waiting for me here in advance? Why are you so sure that you will come here?
"Because of it!"
Seeing the doubts on Liu Yu's face, Kusanako did not hold back for too long, but looked at the long knife in Liu Yu's hand and continued.
"It?" Liu Yu looked at the three moons in his hand, even more confused.
"Master Hana didn't go anywhere when he found Mikazuki. Instead, he summoned it directly by using Bamboo Release in the family. Therefore, Master Hana doesn't know where Mikazuki was living before."
"Summoned?" Liu Yu stared at the long sword in his hand again. This sword was actually summoned.
"You should be able to feel the strangeness of this sword! This is the special connection between the family's bamboo escape awakeners and this sword. The reason why you came to the memorial monument is because this sword is in the underworld. Calling you from the underworld." Kusanako's words made Liu Yu understand a little bit.
"The power of space?" Liu Yu thought thoughtfully. This sword has a special connection with the Bamboo Escape Awakener of the Cao Qian Clan, so no matter where he is, the Bamboo Escape Awakener of the Cao Qian Clan can summon the 'Moriyue' through the blood connection.
This is somewhat similar to the non-blood contract summoning in necromancy, which can summon artifacts stored elsewhere to assist in combat, such as Tenten's summoning scroll and Orochimaru's necromancy technique, Earth Reincarnation. It's just that Mikayuki is directly connected to the Bamboo Release Awakener of the Cao Qian clan.
"After Lord Hana recalled the 'Mikazuki', after testing within the clan, it was found that this sword can only work best in the hands of a Bamboo Release Awakener. Therefore, this sword was given to Lord Hana for use, not the clan leader Kusanagi. Yu." Kusanako continued.
"After Master Hana left, this sword was sealed by the clan leader. After learning that you had awakened Bamboo Release, Master Cao Qianyu entrusted this sword to me and asked me to give it to you at the appropriate time."
After saying that, Kusanako took the knife from Ryūha's hand. Then with a strong effort, he threw the three-sun moon into the distance.
Zheng! ! !
The crescent moon penetrated straight through a tree. Because of the impact of the crescent moon, the tree couldn't stop shaking. Because of the shaking of the tree, the leaves fell down.
"Next, try to see if you can bring back the 'Three Suns and Moons'." After throwing the Mikazuki, Kusanako turned to Ryuha and said.
Liuyu looked at the 'Mikazuki' inserted into the trees in the distance, recalling the strange feeling that Mikazuki brought to her.
Closing his eyes, Liu Yu thought of the long knife covered with crescent-shaped blade patterns. In my mind's eye I reached forward and tried to grab it. But there was an unknown transparent barrier vaguely blocking his hand. No matter how hard Liu Yu tried, his hand could not be stretched forward. It was obviously close at hand, but he could not go any further.
"Space boundary wall?"
"Bamboo Release? This sword is connected to the Bamboo Release Awakener of the Caoqian clan. In that case, let's give it a try!"
Liu Yu then used the power of bamboo escape in his hand, and with the use of bamboo escape power, the hand that could go no further just now slowly began to stretch out.
Boom! ! !
As if some unknown barrier was broken, Liu Yu's hand finally reached forward without any obstacles and grasped the knife that came to mind.
Opening his eyes, he looked at the hand he had opened at some point. Mikazuki was naturally held in his hand. When the sword in his mind was being held, Mikazuki was also held in Ryūha's hand in reality.
The hollow in the trees in the distance showed the existence of a knife just now.
"Is it a space barrier?" Liu Yu couldn't help but think after recalling the strange feeling just now. The strange feeling of breaking through the space barrier in a single thought and summoning distant objects back made Liu Yu a little excited.
Is this considered a space ninjutsu? Since the weapon can be summoned back to the user, can a person be brought to the weapon? Liu Yu couldn't help but start thinking about how to use this weapon.
"Sister Naiko, I succeeded!" Looking at the successfully recalled Mikazuki in her hand, Ryūha turned to Kusanako excitedly.
"Yeah!" Seeing that Ryūha successfully recalled Mikazuki, a smile appeared on Chinako Kusanagi's face. This child really lived up to her father's expectations for her.
Bang! ! !
The last firework of the fireworks display rose into the sky.
Watching the last fireworks fall from the distant sky, Kusanako turned to Ryūha: "It's time to say goodbye."
"Yeah!" Liu Yu lowered his head and replied in a low voice. Although she was reluctant to leave, Ryūha knew the importance and it was impossible for Chinako Kusana to stay in Konoha.
After all, I still can’t keep it!
