Naruto: Start with three magatama and cultivate Kushina

Inside the Izumo Shrine.

Susanoo was solemnly worshipping a black statue.

The black statue was made from materials sourced from Yomi Hirasaka, and its properties are similar to the black soil there, all of which are substances heavily polluted by the aura of Yomi.

The statue is a beautifully crafted goddess, and the only goddess in the world who could inspire such devotion in Susanoo is his mother, Izanami!

During the ritual, Susanoo spoke at length, pleading with his mother not to harm a member of their own people named Takemitsuri Ritsu-no-Mikoto, and also informing Izanami of the accidental killing of his close friend Takemitsuri Ritsu-no-Mikoto by the Totsuka Blade...

It should be noted that the Totsuka Sword is inscribed with the Yomi Seal. Although Takemitsukuri was killed by the Yasakani no Magatama, he was essentially killed by the Totsuka Sword, so his soul now belongs to the Yomi world!

Once inside the Underworld, even if Liu Yun wanted to use the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan to revive the other party, he couldn't do it.

Susanoo feared that Takemitsuri's soul would be devoured by demons or transformed into evil spirits after descending to the underworld, so he thought of asking his mother for help.

Susanoo asked his mother if she could send the other's soul from the Underworld to the Pure Land. If that wasn't possible, she suggested that covering Takemitsuri Ritsu-no-Mikoto in the Underworld would be a good idea...

Liu Yun listened to Susanoo's incantations throughout. This great god was absolutely devoted to his brothers and subordinates, which explained why all the samurai in Izumo were loyal to him. Even though they knew that working under Susanoo was very risky and could lead to death, he was never short of loyal subordinates.

"If Jinlu Zun's soul leaves the Yellow Springs Realm, inform me, and I will use a forbidden technique to revive him." Liu Yun said this and then prepared to leave.

"Okay...Are you completely bound to the Kusanagi Sword? Is the divine weapon willing to recognize its master?" Susanoo suddenly asked about this.

For most True God Realm experts, forcing a divine artifact to recognize them as their master is an easy task. Even if the artifact is made by a great god, a True God Realm expert can use their powerful cultivation to force it to submit and take it for themselves.

However, the Kusanagi Sword, known as the "Number One Divine Weapon Under Heaven," does not easily recognize a master, and even if one possesses the cultivation of a Great God, this ancient artifact may not necessarily be interested in you...

For the Kusanagi Sword to recognize you as its master, it needs to actively choose you and acknowledge you. If it does not want to recognize you as its master, then even if you are the lord of all gods, it will be extremely difficult to use it at will!

The Kusanagi sword had once recognized Susanoo, but unfortunately Susanoo did not give up the Totsuka sword given to him by his father, and instead gave the Kusanagi sword to Amaterasu.

Amaterasu Omikami was aware of the power of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi and wanted to forge it into her own divine weapon.

Unfortunately, the divine sword possessed a spirit, and it did not acknowledge Amaterasu Omikami. Even though the other party forcibly left the mark of the sun god on it, it could not completely control it.

Later, Amaterasu, having no other choice, gave this ancient divine weapon to her grandson, Nyanko-no-Mikoto, and made it a heirloom.

Even after obtaining the Kusanagi Sword, Nyonigi-no-Mikoto still failed to gain its approval. He could only resort to the trick of offering sacrifices to the divine weapon. Only in this way would the Kusanagi Sword allow Nyonigi-no-Mikoto to use the divine weapon in the future, out of consideration for the fact that the other party had been offering incense and sacrifices to it for many years...

"Hmm... the Kusanagi Sword has recognized its master!" Liu Yun replied with a smile.

"Oh? He is willing to accept your blood oath? It went so smoothly?" Susanoo looked quite surprised.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but recall the process of having the Kusanagi Sword recognize him as its master.

At first, he dripped blood onto the sacred sword, but the Kusanagi Sword refused to accept it, and the blood slid directly down the blade to the ground...

Then, Liuyun condensed Susanoo, and even revealed the Susanoo artifact and began to tell the Kusanagi Sword about his destiny with it...

Unfortunately, despite all his kind words, the Ama no Kusanagi remained unmoved...

Liu Yun abandoned any thought of currying favor with the Kusanagi Sword and instead began to think about how to destroy this 'uncooperative' piece of junk...

In his eyes, a weapon that cannot be used by him is just a useless piece of junk, no matter how famous it is!

Realizing that this thing was disobedient, Liu Yun began to burn it with divine fire, intending to directly recycle this piece of junk...

Unfortunately, even with Ryuun fully activating Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi's divine fire and endlessly stacking the extreme heat, he still couldn't soften the divine sword; at most, he could only make it turn slightly red...

When he realized that he couldn't reforge it, Liu Yun's ruthless determination kicked in and he went straight to destroy the sword!

He threw the Kusanagi Sword, which had been heated until it was slightly red and extremely hot, into the extremely cold ice water, and continued to repeat this destructive act of destroying the sword...

The Kusanagi Sword kept releasing cloud-like energy until even the flowing clouds couldn't distinguish whether it was releasing its own cloud-like energy or water vapor...

After a whole day of torment and abuse, Ryuun discovered that the Kusanagi Sword was still intact, its blade still straight and shiny, as if it were unaffected by anything.

Liu Yun was not surprised by this. Seeing that the Ice and Fire combination couldn't handle it, Liu Yun began to try a series of corrosive methods to destroy the sword, such as strong acid and strong salt...

That wasn't enough. Liu Yun knew that this ancient artifact was indifferent to, or even disdainful of, his Susanoo-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi. So he began to use the powerful Susanoo artifact to cleave the blade of the Susanoo-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!

Susanoo kept attacking the blade of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi with its sharp blade, while Ryuun kept slashing at one spot with all his might, as if he would not stop until he broke the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi...

The Susanoo artifact has been destroyed countless times. In a head-on confrontation, he is no match for the Kusanagi Sword. However, Ryuun's perseverance is exceptionally good. Every time the Susanoo artifact is broken, he uses the power of the Rinnegan and the power of the Sage to reassemble it several times.

He chopped by day and by night, he chopped even after heating the wood until it was red-hot, and he chopped even after soaking it in various corrosive liquids...

This continued uninterrupted for quite some time. After being tormented for a long time, one day, the Kusanagi Sword suddenly spewed out a large plume of white mist and emitted a very special sword cry in front of the flowing clouds!

Seeing that the Kusanagi Sword had suddenly become abnormal, Ryuun decided to give it another try and flicked a drop of blood onto the sword.

In an instant, the Kusanagi sword absorbed the drop of blood into its blade. Liu Yun immediately felt a special connection, and the man and the sword thus formed an ancient pact of life and death.

In light of this behavior by the Kusanagi Sword, Ryuun renamed it from its original name 'Kusanagi Sword' to 'Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong Sword'!

In response, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi vibrated its blade, expressing strong protest...

As a sacred ancient artifact, it would have been revered even by the gods, receiving incense offerings and divine worship day and night. Yet now, in the hands of this wretched human, it has not only failed to gain any respect but has also suffered greatly...

If the Kusanagi Sword could speak, it would probably have cursed Liuyun's ancestors for eighteen generations long ago!

"Smoothly, incredibly smoothly. My mere drop of blood was absorbed by the Kusanagi Sword. That thing was so thirsty..."

Inside the Izumo Shrine, Ryuun answered Susanoo's question with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, the Kusanagi Sword within his body immediately vibrated, once again expressing its protest to its master...

"Is that so...? Divine artifacts possess spirits and can recognize their lords. The Kusanagi Sword must have realized that you are its destined master!" Susanoo said with a gratified smile.

Susanoo felt that this "greatest divine weapon under heaven" had finally found its true master!

"Haha, that should be it!"

Liu Yun nodded shamelessly and laughed heartily. He completely ignored the Kusanagi Sword, which was vibrating even more violently. This thing was bound by the rules, and once it recognized its master, it would not devour its master, even though it was currently hidden inside Liu Yun's body!
