Chapter 4 : Reason

In the world of Ninja, within the depths of the Pure Land!

Uchiha Madara's eyes gleamed with admiration:

"Yes, even with such a grave injury, you still possess audacity and mental vigor! You adopt an impeccable stance!"

"I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you!"

In the One Piece world, Sengoku and Garp's eyes also sparkled. This young man is truly impressive!

"Indeed! That's the way to go! Overcome your opponent!" Naruto, brimming with vitality, cheered.

Kakashi on the side shook his head discreetly. The outcome has been decided; this man is destined to fall.

Yet, across various dimensions, many observers watched with approval. Though the power level in this world might be modest, the other side can undoubtedly be called mighty!

Pure power alone is insufficient! Countless dimensions harbour potent abilities, but are these individuals truly formidable?

No!

Irrespective of being just or malevolent, true strength is derived solely from spirit, conviction, and heart.

This marks the authentic source of one's might!

[The scene continues!]

[Meanwhile, Akaza is also brimming with exhilaration!]

[Akaza laughed heartily: "That's it! This is the battle I've been anticipating!"]

["Destruction and annihilation! Extermination style!!"]

[Flames akin to molten lava surged from the core of Rengoku Kyojuro.]

[Legs, arms, and eyes!]

[A deafening boom! Immense force erupted, causing the ground beneath the column of fire to shatter instantly!]

[Rengoku's form vanished, and amid the rising flames, a roaring fire dragon hurtled towards Akaza!]

[A continuous rumble echoed!]

[Upon impact, the ground sank instantaneously, soil rolling like colossal waves.]

[At the epicenter, akin to a sea of fire, Rengoku Kyojuro executed a resolute blow with unwavering conviction and unparalleled might!]

[Akaza's eyes brimmed with frenetic exhilaration. Simultaneously, a punch imbued with potent ice-blue spiritual energy surged forth!]

[In the ensuing second, Akaza's entire arm cleaved apart, the sunlit blade of flames persistently slashing at his body.]

[Rengoku roared, mightier power surged from his being; the solar blade cleaved through the opponent's chest before inverting once more!]

[Within the roar, flames erupted anew, giving rise to a fierce and fiery tornado that ascended into the sky!]

Curiosity pervaded; had this blow vanquished the adversary?

[The dust cleared, and the Katana was lofted high in the grasp of Rengoku.]

[Before him, Akaza's arm had fully regenerated, piercing through Rengoku's chest!]

"As anticipated, I've fallen short... but it was a splendid battle." Aizen smiled, akin to one enjoying a satisfying spectacle.

"What a pity. Were it not for his physical constraints, the humans would have undoubtedly triumphed." Sengoku's gaze dimmed slightly.

"Damn demon!!" Naruto was already weeping at this point!

Ant king Meruem, casually seated on the ground, gradually calmed, remarking, "The human form is truly frail."

Tanjirou couldn't fathom this scene where the demon wrecked havoc upon the world.

[Beside the overturned train, Tanjiro struggled to grasp the unfolding scene!]

[At that moment, Akaza bellowed anxiously: "Turn into a demon! Hasten to announce your conversion into a demon!!"]

["You're one of the select few strong ones!!"]

["Become a demon! In becoming a demon, you evade death!"]

["What's reason for your refusal!!"]

["Speak!!!"]

[Within this roar, Rengoku Kyojuro fell silent!]

"Well, the juncture between life and death has arrived, suddenly becoming intriguing." Aizen sat up erect, his spirits soaring.

Sengoku's gaze remained unflinching; he believed the figure before him would never assent.

Orochimaru offered a wry smile. "Hehe, death is a profound terror. I speculate he'll opt to become a demon, thereby being pronounced 'dead' in human terms."

"Impossible. Elder Brother Kyojuro will never yield!" Tanjiro's tear-filled eyes brimmed with resolute determination!

While all secretly speculated, the scene abruptly reverted to the past.

[The scene shifts to daylight.]

[A gentle breeze wafts, rustling wind chimes.]

[Within a quaint abode, a graceful woman with ruby eyes akin to Kyojuro's uttered:]

["Rengoku Kyojuro."]

["Yes, mother." The lad, Kyojuro, sat up attentively.]

[The woman spoke solemnly: "You must ponder carefully, as your mother is about to pose a question."]

["Do you comprehend why you possess greater strength than others at birth?"]

[The boy earnestly and clearly responded: "I do not know, mother."]

[The woman gazed at the boy intently: "It is to aid those less fortunate than yourself."]

["One endowed by nature with more aptitude than others must employ their power for the world and others, assisting the feeble at any juncture."]

["Kyojuro, this is your duty as a stalwart individual."]

["It is the mission you must fulfill throughout your life!"]

["You must never forget this!"]

[Gazing into his mother's eyes, the boy nodded solemnly, pledging his concurrence!]

[In the subsequent moment, the woman enfolds the boy in her arms, profound compassion within her gaze, and utters: "Mother's time is scarce, I fear."]

["Yet I am immensely content to be the mother of a child as kind and powerful as you."]

[Tears welled in the woman's crimson eyes, as if she imparted her final sentiments: "I entrust the future to you."]

[Tears filled the boy's identical eyes, a sense of disbelief mingled with restraint.]

[He couldn't burden his mother with worry!]

[Within another instant, the scene reverted!]

[Kyojuro, who had grown feeble, bore blue veins in his hands!]

[Faced with demise, he not only resisted succumbing but channeled every ounce of power into his actions!]

[In the ensuing instant, the rose-red blade descended heavily upon Akaza's neck!]
