- Chapter 268 - Hatake Sakumo: Fighting is awesome! (4K4)
Immortality is a curse, which is a classic setting in Japanese stories.
Unlike China, which has a strong culture of immortality, the various immortalities in Japanese stories have huge costs, and even bring disasters and catastrophes.
The immortality in “Sekiro” is a typical example. It was originally a wounded cherry dragon that escaped from the western continent of Japan. The blood that flowed out carried the power of immortality, thus creating the first immortality, and also made those who obtained the power of immortality become the first immortals, and they believed that they had transcended the mundane world and became a lofty existence.
However, this kind of immortality is like a twisted physical transformation, which will gradually pollute the earth, absorb other lives, and over time, the immortals will gradually twist into terrifying monsters.
Throughout the story, all those who want to study and obtain immortality have no good end, and the so-called immortality is ultimately just a poison that leads to destruction.
Hirata Kuro, who possesses the power of the Dragon’s Heir, wants to break this curse of immortality, and as his servant and contractor, the wolf who obtained the power of immortality from Hirata Kuro wants to help his master end the curse of immortality.
This is the story of the second half of “Sekiro”, and it is also the story that Hatake Sakumo is doing.
In fact, there are multiple endings for the game, and the most extreme one is the Shura ending, which kills everything, takes the power of the Dragon’s Heir for oneself, and makes oneself an immortal Ashura.
Of course, Hatake Sakumo is unlikely to take this ruthless and righteous path. This Konoha White Fang has always been a man of affection and righteousness.
Uchiha Kai saw all this and seemed to have discovered something. He raised his eyebrows and then smiled: “So that’s it, it’s worthy of Konoha White Fang. You actually have such awareness and ideas, and it’s indeed what you would do…”
Saying such words, Uchiha Kai is looking forward to the time when Hatake Sakumo will complete the game.
In the game, Hatake Sakumo’s journey is gradually coming to the last moment.
This speed is much faster than the speed of Tobirama Senju clearing Dark Soul 3.
However, it is also natural. Sekiro’s worldview cannot be compared with Dark Soul in any way. Although Uchiha Kei also gave Sekiro’s world a lot of freedom, it is far less than the world of Dark Soul.
Moreover, Uchiha Kei did not have the ancestral malice towards Tobirama Senju, and Hatake Sakumo did not offend Uchiha Kei either, so the world that Uchiha Kei arranged for Hatake Sakumo was still quite “humane”.
At least, there was not so much chaos and despair, so Hatake Sakumo had a clear goal from the beginning, and the subsequent story development also had a clear main line task.
Although the enemies in the game have also been strengthened, their intelligence is far superior to the original characters, and the battle routines are not so rigid, and there will be no situation where you can fight with your eyes closed after adapting.
However, Konoha White Fang is not an ordinary player. This is really killed from the battlefield, and in the game, there is no need to fight with the enemy according to the established battle routines. Hatake Sakumo can use his own experience and skills to fight.
Therefore, even though the enemy was greatly strengthened, Hatake Sakumo still managed to defeat them all the way.
Moreover, the protagonist in the game was not without any improvement in strength. Just like Tobirama Senju could obtain soul power by killing monsters in the Dark Souls world, Hatake Sakumo would naturally absorb this power and use it to strengthen himself after killing enemies with the “immortal” attribute or the “immortal” energy in the game.
In the later stage, except for not being able to use ninjutsu, Hatake Sakumo was no weaker than his original strength, and even borrowed the power of the super weapon “Immortal Slash” in the game, and even surpassed his former self.
Therefore, when Hatake Sakumo faced the hidden super BOSS Sakura Dragon in the game in order to fulfill his master’s desire to cut off immortality, a battle that could be called a super war in the ninja world began.
The Sakura Dragon is undoubtedly a mythical creature. It has the appearance of a dragon, is extremely strong, has a tyrannical body and the power to control thunder and storms. It has also absorbed the attributes of various local myths of the Ashina Kingdom, has been upgraded to divinity, and is also the source of immortal power.
In the original game, there is no way to really kill the Sakura Dragon. You can only knock it out and take the Sakura Dragon Tears, an important clearance item.
However, since it is a modified game, Uchiha Kei will naturally not make the situation that simple. Besides, the current wolf is not a real wolf, but Hatake Sakumo, the top powerhouse who overwhelms the three ninjas.
At this point, except for not being able to use chakra, Hatake Sakumo is already stronger than he used to be in all aspects, and has the power of immortality, and can be resurrected even if he dies.
With so many BUFFs in one body, Hatake Sakumo’s mission is naturally to kill the Sakura Dragon completely, so that the source of immortality is completely cut off, so as to achieve the possibility of cutting off immortality.
When Hatake Sakumo arrived at the abode of the Sakura Dragon, what he saw was a hazy cloud, as if he was stepping on the clouds. In the center of this divine land, there was an incredibly huge cherry tree, and the immortal god, the source of all gods of Ashina, the Sakura Dragon, was perched on the cherry tree.
It was a white dragon with a strange beauty, and its beautiful body was like a work of art wrapped around the cherry tree, full of indescribable divinity.
However, after a closer look, it was found that this dragon had a strange incoordination, because it had multiple claws on its body, and some were big, some were small, some were long, and some were short, full of incoordination.
A huge, difficult-to-heal wound was left on the suspected chest, and it was still bleeding continuously. On the other side of the wound, there was a long and powerful dragon arm.
In that hand, there was a huge, golden, thunder-flashing Seven-Headed Sword.
Overall, it was a strange combination of divinity and weirdness, as if an originally holy dragon had suffered some kind of pollution, causing the flesh and blood to be deformed, and some body tissues that should not have grown on its body.
For such a situation, Hatake Sakumo was only slightly surprised, and then he accepted it all with a mentality that was not surprised, and even had a sense of being taken for granted.
Because Hatake Sakumo had seen too many things that obtained immortal power along the way, some of them were human and inhuman.
But without exception, one by one, they were distorted by the twisting of flesh and blood. The only creature that was not distorted by the immortal power was a snake, but that snake was also extremely huge, a creature that should not exist in Japan normally.
When he saw the giant snake, Hatake Sakumo thought it had run back to the Ninja World, but the giant snake was actually a super summoned beast or even a tailed beast.
Although Hatake Sakumo successfully killed the giant snake with the power of the “Immortal Slash”, the impression left by the giant snake was unforgettable.
Therefore, Hatake Sakumo was not surprised to see that the source of the immortal power was actually a distorted creature.
In contrast, there was extremely heavy pressure and unstoppable strong fighting spirit.
Because Sakura Dragon was really strong, the strongest enemy Hatake Sakumo had ever encountered in this world, even the strongest person in Ashina Country, Ashina Isshin, could not compare with Sakura Dragon.
That was the pressure of a divine creature, and the distorted terror of a monster, something that could make Hatake Sakumo, a “mortal”, instinctively fear.
Very strong, very strong, Hatake Sakumo even had the illusion that he was facing a tailed beast, and a top-level tailed beast like the Nine-Tails.
Well, I have to say that this Sakura Dragon was strengthened a little too much by Uchiha Kai. After all, although the Sakura Dragon in the original work is very strong, it is compared with the game Sekiro, and it is actually nothing if it is placed in the world view of Naruto.
However, under Uchiha Kai’s deliberate adjustment, the strength of the Sakura Dragon directly became like the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Of course, the actual strength is definitely not as strong as the Nine-Tailed Fox, but the power has reached it.
The main reason is that this Sakura Dragon, who has the name of God among Gods, is injured and has not recovered, and his body is also linked to the cherry tree that it is entangled with, making it unable to move at will-this is actually the relationship that the Sakura Dragon absorbs the power of this land to heal itself, and it is also the condition for it to seize the divinity of the entire Ashina.
Once forcibly separated from the cherry tree, the life of the Sakura Dragon will suffer a severe blow, so this “god” is greatly restricted.
In this case, the pressure that Hatake Sakumo has to bear is not as exaggerated as imagined, at least not to the point of despair.
The battle began in the thunder and wind.
This was undoubtedly a test for Hatake Sakumo, a great feat of killing gods with a mortal body, and also the ultimate blasphemy in a sense.
Facing an incredibly powerful being that could easily bring down an overwhelming heavenly punishment with golden thunder, and easily slashing with the Seven-Headed Sword in his hand, comparable to the power of Susanoo to cut through the universe, and the power of a storm that could be formed with a single move, Hatake Sakumo was swaying like a lone boat in the wind and rain, and could be torn into pieces at any time.
However, this former Konoha White Fang, now the Severed Undying Wolf, held on.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
Although he would inevitably die several times, with the power of immortality, Hatake Sakumo could always stand up again and again to continue fighting with Sakura Dragon.
Judging from this performance, although Sakura Dragon is the source of immortality, it has no way to deprive others of their immortality, otherwise it only needs to deprive the ‘wolf’ of immortality to directly win.
Of course, this is actually a game feature, but for Hatake Sakumo, the feeling is that ‘the so-called god is actually just a monster that fled here after failing in the struggle in the western land’.
So, after experiencing many deaths, Hatake Sakumo learned the skills of controlling the thunder of Sakura Dragon to a certain extent, mainly using special skills to reverse the thunder released by Sakura Dragon and let Sakura Dragon bear his own thunder attack.
It turned out that this was very effective. Under the thunder attack released by Sakura Dragon himself, this god of the gods of Ashina suffered a heavy blow, which also gave Hatake Sakumo an opportunity.
The immortal slash, which originally had no effect on Sakura Dragon, finally successfully tore the body harder than steel after Sakura Dragon was injured by thunder, causing terrible wounds.
Moreover, the attribute of immortal slashing and never dying also worked on Sakura Dragon. Although it failed to directly destroy Sakura Dragon’s immortality, it also greatly suppressed Sakura Dragon’s immortality, greatly reducing its recovery speed.
This gave Hatake Sakumo the opportunity to really kill it.
Even though the Sakura Dragon roared in anger and pain, even though the power of thunder and storm was even more terrifying, even though the Sakura Dragon could still summon minions to besiege Hatake Sakumo.
But just as you must not show your health bar in the game, when the Sakura Dragon was injured by Hatake Sakumo, it meant that its health bar was already showing.
Finally, after a mythical battle that lasted seven days and seven nights, the Sakura Dragon fell under the Immortal Slash of Hatake Sakumo, and the immortal power contained in it also collapsed under the influence of the power of the Immortal Slash to cut off the immortality, turning into pure energy and merging into the earth, allowing the earth that had been corrupted and distorted by the existence of the Sakura Dragon and entered a state of withering and death to gradually recover its vitality.
As for Hatake Sakumo, even though he had immortality, he was covered with scars after the battle that lasted for seven days and seven nights, and he had to rest well.
However, the most important step of cutting off immortality has been completed, and the important props have been obtained. What he has to do next is to return to his master and help his master completely complete the mission of cutting off immortality.
But when Hatake Sakumo returned, he was shocked and angry to find that the master he was loyal to was captured again, and the one who captured him was Ashina Isshin’s grandson Ashina Genichirō.
This heir adopted and carefully cultivated by Isshin Ashina is extremely persistent in Ashina Country. He is willing to do anything to save Ashina Country.
In fact, the person who really wants to use the immortal power to save Ashina is Genichirō Ashina, and Isshin Ashina actually does not approve of this approach, but the will shown by the heir he has carefully cultivated makes Isshin Ashina unable to say no, so he acquiesces to everything Genichirō Ashina does.
During this period, Isshin Ashina’s old body also completely came to an end and died of illness, and Isshin Ashina’s death further stimulated Genichirō Ashina, making him completely transformed into an Ashina lunatic.
So, at the last moment of this story, Genichirō Ashina, who still did not give up, once again attacked the wolf’s owner Hirata Kuro, preparing to sacrifice Hirata Kuro to obtain the complete immortal power to save Ashina Country.
Hatake Sakumo would not allow this to happen. He rushed directly to Genichirō Ashina, arrived before Kuro Hirata was sacrificed, and then fought Genichirō Ashina for the Nth time under the moon.
This time, Genichirō Ashina lost again.
However, this lunatic once again showed his extreme side. He thought that his power was not enough to protect Ashina, so he decided to give the mission of protecting Ashina to someone who was capable of protecting Ashina.
This person was his grandfather Isshin Ashina!
So, a fantasy scene that reduced SAN value by a lot happened. Genichirō Ashina sacrificed himself and resurrected Isshin Ashina in his body.
Hatake Sakumo and Kuro Hirata saw with their own eyes that Isshin Ashina, in his prime at the age of 40, broke through Genichirō Ashina’s body and appeared in a full set of general armor.
The powerful momentum of the sword saint and the fantasy power brought by immortality came to this world with the flashing of golden thunder.
Although Isshin Ashina does not approve of Genichirō Ashina’s extreme behavior, Genichirō Ashina is willing to fulfill it because it is his grandson’s last wish and obsession.
Next, it is the final battle.
Isshin Ashina wants to fight the ‘wolf’. If he wins, he will sacrifice Hirata Kuro to obtain the complete immortal power, and then use this extraordinary power to save Ashina.
If he loses, then it will end here, representing the end of the story of Ashina and Isshin Ashina.
Hatake Sakumo knew that this battle was inevitable because both sides had reasons not to retreat, and for him, this was undoubtedly a hearty battle that would make his blood boil.
Although Isshin Ashina is definitely not as powerful as Sakura Dragon, as a warrior and a human being, Isshin Ashina’s martial arts skills that have reached the peak are the ultimate experience for Hatake Sakumo, who is also a human being.
So, in the sound of lightning and thunder and the sound of metal and iron, the most peak warrior battle began!
