[The Ninja Talisman Holds Hidden Secrets]
[To Disperse the Evil Ninja Formation, A Secret Incantation is Needed]
[Grasp the True Meaning Amidst the Splashes of Ink]
Rappa began to graffiti wildly on the wall!
And all the players watching this scene stood up!
Overwhelmed with excitement!
Though it was something that happened in the past!
It felt as if they were witnessing it firsthand!
"Go, Rappa!"
"Shatter this cage!"
"Unwavering Heart, Destroy Evil and Uphold Righteousness!!"
"Damn, that's so cool!"
"It was too oppressive earlier, finally, it's time to explode!"
"Ahhhhhhh!! Charge!"
...
"This is the core of the formation. As Master said, the Chaotic Ninjutsu can obscure the evil ninja's array."
"Infusing the secret incantation into the kaleidoscope, covering the core of the formation with the secret incantation, what a marvelous ninja science."
"Chaotic Ninja Talisman, activate!"
"Mission accomplished! With this, the evil ninja's array is destroyed."
In the laboratory.
Everything lit up with red lights!
The Umbra Headmistress was almost beside herself with rage: "Denisovan 75, what is going on? The entire research institute is covered in electronic graffiti, and the security system has crashed!"
Master Kucha, on the other hand, showed an exaggerated look of shock: "I don't know, it must be a hacker intrusion—I'll handle it right away."
"Hurry! If it's not fixed soon, the Galaxy Rangers will come knocking!"
...
"Kucha: I have no idea!"
"Punklorde's Ether Modification Technique!"
"Silver Wolf: Thinking about me?"
"If everything she said was truly for a better future, then they wouldn't need to hide."
"Nor would they be targeted by the Galaxy Rangers, who are renowned throughout the universe for their hatred of evil."
"Galaxy Rangers: We'll be at your doorstep soon~"
"This master has gradually degenerated from a lofty genius into a person with conscience and morality."
...
At this moment.
Rappa came to pay her respects for the third time.
"Master Kucha, I have placed the Chaotic Ninja Talismans throughout the Ninja Capital."
Master Kucha nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, Chaotic Ninja. This way, the evil ninja's array won't be able to restrict our communication ninjutsu."
Then.
He let out a long sigh.
As if he had fulfilled some long-cherished wish.
"Come quickly, Rangers, let this absurd farce end sooner—"
At that moment.
The Umbra Headmistress ran over in disbelief.
"Stop—!!!"
"Denisovan 75, what are you doing!?"
Looking at everything on the computer data.
She was almost hysterical!
"To actually deceive the test subjects, deceive academic partners, deceive the research apes—the greatest mistake of the 17th Laboratory was letting an academic fraud like you in!"
"Umbra Headmistress… what are you talking about?" Rappa looked at Kucha in confusion.
Kucha coldly said: "Rappa, she is a subordinate of the evil ninja."
"What? The Umbra Headmistress… is a traitor ninja?"
Rappa's eyes widened in shock.
"Enough—Battle Apes, clean house!"
[Entering battle!]
Master Kucha's voice rang out from behind: "Chaotic Ninja, today's trial is changed to… crushing the traitor ninja!"
"Yes! Allow me to demonstrate to the Master the Chaotic Ninjutsu I have just comprehended."
...
"Master Kucha has awakened!"
"Good, good, it's finally come to this!"
"I will personally kill this Denisovan 22!"
"Chaotic Ninjutsu: Ignite the Star Sea!"
"Chaotic Ninjutsu: Mourn the Departed!"
"Want to say something but my education level is too low, let's kill!"
"Rappa: Finally, I can unleash my full power without restrictions!"
...
Little Gui activated Rappa's ultimate move!
"Galactic Ninjutsu, ever-changing."
"This is—the Ninjutsu Secret Art: Chaotic Destruction Kill Array!"
The battle ended swiftly!
The Umbra Headmistress looked at the scene before her in disbelief.
"How is this possible? These Battle Apes were personally trained by the Research Apes…"
"After days and nights of rigorous training, this is the Chaotic Karate."
Rappa tilted her hat and struck a pose.
Master Kucha spoke in a deep voice, "Look, this is what they call a failure."
"This experiment was conducted together by us. We turned her into what she is now—extraordinary intelligence, unparalleled perception, immense strength..."
"Tell me, where exactly did she fail?"
"How... how can you question the Doctor's theory? The Denisovans must have their own considerations!"
The Umbra Headmistress exclaimed in frustration.
"The security system will be restored soon. Prepare to face the wrath of Dr. Primitive, you ignorant fool!"
Facing the frantic Umbra Headmistress.
Master Kucha simply said calmly, "You're wrong."
"Dr. Primitive... wouldn't care about us mere mortals."
"Rappa, the trial is over. Leave."
"But, Master Kucha..."
"Rappa, go."
"...Yes."
And just after Rappa left.
The screen suddenly went completely black.
Only the voices of the two remained.
First, the panicked voice of the Umbra Headmistress: "You... you actually hid a weapon. What are you planning—"
"Denisovan 22, thanks to you, I've come to understand that morality is indeed a hypocritical and superficial thing..."
"So, I've decided to abandon it."
Master Kucha's voice carried a chilling tone.
"Friend! Put the gun down. We've been classmates for so many years. You can't—"
"Umbra Headmistress, recite your death poem."
The screen flickered back to life.
Master Kucha looked expressionlessly at the person on the ground who would never speak again.
He murmured, "This is karma, retribution."
...
"The Master has awakened!"
"Now you remember old times?"
"Master Kucha shooting that old witch was just too cool!"
"Draw your gun! This last shot is for you!"
"Once a man of Erudition, now he walks the path of The Hunt!"
"And the girl he raised will also embark on the long journey of The Hunt!"
"This is the pinnacle of Ninjutsu!"
"He ended his former companion and also killed the misguided version of himself."
"Bravo!!!"
"Master, you're a true man!"
"Master Kucha, you are the true Master!"
...
On the scene.
Seeing so many comments praising Master Kucha.
Rappa showed a faint smile.
She naturally knew the ending that followed.
After that.
She had once returned to the laboratory.
But the final results showed.
Both Master Kucha and the Umbra Headmistress had passed away.
And everything that happened today.
Was recorded in the story of Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions within Honkai: Star Rail.
If the Master knew in the afterlife.
He would surely smile with contentment.
"Master, thank you."
At this moment.
Rappa's expression slightly changed.
She noticed the description in the mission briefing.
["You once asked why ninjas must endure the hardships of the world."]
["Because ninjas are all fools who love this world."]
["My disciple, my child, Aishiteru."]
These were,
Words Master Kucha had never spoken to her before!
And the meaning of Aishiteru,
In essence,
It means "I love you."
At this moment,
It felt as if there was a response from the unseen!
Rappa placed her hand on her chest.
Her voice was soft,
But it was filled with unwavering determination!
"Master Kucha, from now on, I will not fail your trust."
"I will eradicate all evil, never ceasing, even if the arrow is on the string, never to return, I will remain focused, breaking through evil to reveal the truth!"
"—Until the end of the Dharma Age."
