Chapter 109 : Ishida’s Choice

The trio observing Naruto's condition were startled by Minato's sudden applause. As he turned his head, Minato's invincible loneliness, tinged with a touch of sadness, caught their attention.

"What's wrong, Minato? Did you find something?" Kushina inquired with concern. Sage of Six Paths and Uchiha Madara also looked on curiously.

Minato regained his gentle smile, then, using his hair, proudly declared, "I have a name for the Flying Thunder God technique for our family of three!"

Kushina reacted promptly. With the Nine Tails no longer interfering, Naruto had a chance to learn the Flying Thunder God technique! Excitedly, she asked, "What's the handsome name?"

Originally, Minato named Naruto. Despite the suspicion of plagiarism, she still anticipated it. Minato, looking at his wife's expectant eyes, confidently raised his head, took a deep breath, and eloquently announced:

"The name is… Spiral Sky Full of Stars, Invincible Phantom, Super Wheel, Dance Style, Eighteen Styles!"

Minato finished in one breath, wearing a self-congratulatory expression. Kushina's smile froze, and a blush gradually spread to the roots of her ears. Naruto lowered his head, seemingly engrossed in observing passing ants. Sage of Six Paths appeared to be unable to support his body and just vanished!

Minato turned to the last person, Uchiha Madara, with an encouraging gaze. "It's okay, speak up, Madara! Come on!"

"You're expecting a hammer!!" Uchiha Madara gave Minato a deep look, wondering how he came up with such a long and awkward name, all while exuding an air of confidence. 

Just imagining the family of three shouting this sentence in battle made his scalp numb. It was a mental attack more potent than any illusion!

"I suddenly remembered something, so I won't disturb your family of three," he muttered in his heart. The Uchiha Madara flew away without looking back, disappearing into the black space crack as if fleeing!

Minato sighed in disappointment. He hadn't expected Uchiha Madara to be quite shy. However, the serious look Madara gave him in the end—was that an affirmation of the name?

"Um... it must be. Can't be wrong!" 

In the Moon, black space cracks appeared. Uchiha Madara floated out like a demon, but soon a different expression crossed his face. He sensed that the moon was hollow!

Normally, Planetary Devastation is entirely physical. What's happening now? Inside the moon, in the castle, Ōtsutsuki Toneri suddenly raised his head.

An astonishing scene unfolded: his left eye was a golden eyeball without pupils, while the other eye was incomparably dark, with nothing in the black hole! It looked immensely intimidating.

On the ground, while many were still recalling the previous video, the sky suddenly darkened. Countless people looked up, then unconsciously opened their mouths. They saw the moon in the starry sky above split in two—

Demon Slayer world.

The brilliant sun cast its rays upon the earth, and within the expansive surroundings stood only a modest wooden dwelling.

The once abyssal gaze of Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes had now softened. She smiled, addressing the restrained woman before her:

"Akaza has met his demise under the sun. To spare yourself from torment, could you kindly reveal the whereabouts of Muzan?"

Despite Akaza's earlier success in luring Rengoku Kyojuro, resulting in a clash among the Upper moons and Hashira , the 50% matured Yoriichi Tsugikuni template proved overwhelmingly formidable.

Rengoku Kyojuro swiftly eradicated all the demons, sparing only the fallen Spider Family siblings, including Tamayo, Yushiro, and Nezuko.

Muzan remained untouched, haunted by the deep shadow left by Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the past.

Observing Doma's silence, Shinobu revealed a sinister smile. Even if the response was absent, her main objective was to test her newly developed poison.

Soon, agonizing screams echoed within the house.

In the pirate world,

Whitebeard's golden hair gleamed in the sunlight. Across from him, Teach lay on the ground, bloodied.

The swift discovery of each other's locations was facilitated by information provided freely by the Marine.

The Marines' message was clear—urging Whitebeard to refrain from any unwarranted actions. As long as they avoided excessive inquiries, an agreement could be reached.

Untouched by dust, Whitebeard slowly approached Teach.

As Teach, now on his knees, pleaded for mercy, Whitebeard swung his massive blade.

This time, mercy was absent.

In the Shinigami world,

Inside the Technology Development Bureau, Urahara Kisuke and Mayuri Kurotsuchi stood beside a bed, engaging in a heated argument.

Meanwhile, Kurosaki Ichigo, lying on the bed and adorned with electrodes, felt as if he were enduring a relentless rain.

Fortunately, a savior arrived.

Yoruichi strolled down the catwalk and approached the bed. Glancing down at first, she then averted her gaze with a hint of disdain and remarked:

"One of your acquaintances, that Quincy named Uryū Ishida, has arrived in Soul Society, claiming to be in search of you."

The Kurosaki family suddenly panicked and inquired:

"Has he been captured?"

Yoruichi shook her head:

"Don't worry. Yhwach seems to have initiated a sanctification, eliminating all the Quincy who received power."

"Now, no Quincy dares to pledge allegiance to him."

However, Yoruichi was only reassuring one family. Normally, based on the information I obtained from the video earlier, all the Quincies under sanctification would be stripped of their power and meet their demise!

But now, Ishida Uryu is an exception, so the other party is under surveillance, and he might be arrested at any time.

Soon, the family discreetly exited through the back door, preventing Zaraki Kenpachi, who was blocking the front, from succeeding.

He trotted all the way and soon arrived at the first team quarters.

The first words Ishida Uryu heard from Yoruichi's mouth were:

"Orihime is in danger."

He added:

"She's my favorite girl, and I absolutely can't stand by and watch her die. Among the people I know, you're the only one who can help me."

"Please, Kurosaki-san!"

Surprisingly, Ishida Uryu dropped to his knees!

A family quickly helped him up and then patted his chest:

"No problem, but I need to bid farewell to the store manager Urahara first. I'll tell him that I'm in a hurry and can't collaborate with him in research right now. Please wait for me."

Ishida Uryu lowered his head, tears welling in his eyes:

"Thank you so much, Kurosaki-san."

A family nodded, then exited the house.

At that moment, Uryu Ishida heard Yhwach's faint voice.

"Well done. When the dust settles, you'll be the only one left in this world."

On the other side, after walking around in a hurry for a long time, he encountered the captain in chief.

Seeing those downcast eyes, Ichigo didn't waste time and immediately said:

"Captain, I may have found Yhwach."

Just as the worlds shifted, the scene reappeared.
