Chapter 515 508: Master Kucha Awakens, Loving to Death the True Meaning of the Ninjutsu's Teachings!

[ Above ninja talisman, arcana reside,

Evil-vanquishing formations must be complemented with secret incantations.

To grasp the truth within flows of ink. ]

Rappa began to spray graffiti across the walls with reckless abandon!

Watching this scene, the players all leaped to their feet!

Excited beyond measure!

Even though these were events of the past!

It felt as though they were witnessing them with their own eyes!

"Go, Rappa!"

"Shatter this cage!"

"Heart undisturbed, vanquish evil and uphold justice!!"

"Holy mother of bananas, that's so freakin' cool!"

"The build-up was so oppressive before, finally time for the breakout!"

"Aaaaaah!! Charge!!"

…

"This is where the matrix core is. According to Master, Dazzling Ninjutsu can overwrite the Evil Ninja's matrix."

"Channel the mantra into the colorful brilliance, then paint it over the existing mantra on the matrix core… What wondrous ninja tech."

"Dazzling Ninja Seal, open!"

"Mission accomplished! This way, the Evil Ninja's matrix can finally be broken."

Inside the laboratory.

Red lights flashed everywhere!

Umbra Headmistress was practically beside herself with rage: "Denisovan 75, what is going on? The entire research institute is full of digital mother-banana graffiti! It crashed the security system!"

Master Kucha put on a look of exaggerated shock: "I have no idea, it must be a hacker intrusion—I'll go deal with it immediately."

"Hurry up! If you don't fix it soon, the Rangers are going to be knocking on our door!"

…

"Kucha: 'I dun get it!'"

"Punklorde's Aether editing technique!"

"Silver Wolf: 'Thinking about me?'"

"If everything was truly for a better future as she claimed, they wouldn't need to hide in the shadows."

"And they certainly wouldn't be targeted by the Galaxy Rangers, who are renowned across the cosmos for their hatred of evil."

"Galaxy Ranger: 'Knocking on your door soon~'"

"This Master has gradually devolved from a high-and-mighty genius into a person with conscience and morality."

…

At that moment.

Rappa arrived for a third audience.

"Master Kucha, this one has placed the Dazzling Shinobi Talismans all across the Ninja Capital."

Kucha nodded with relief: "Splendidly done, Dazzling Ninja. Now the Evil Shinobi's matrix will no longer be able to restrict our communication Ninjutsu."

Then.

He let out a long sigh.

As if fulfilling a long-cherished wish.

"Hurry and come, Rangers, and bring an early end to this ridiculous farce—"

Just then.

Umbra Headmistress rushed in disbelief.

"STOP—!!!"

"Denisovan 75, what are you doing!?"

Looking at everything on the computer data.

She went completely hysterical!

"H—How dare you deceive the experimental subject, your fellow research partners, and the Research Apes!? The biggest mistake Laboratory 17 ever made was to allow a research fraud such as you to infiltrate this place!!"

"Umbra Headmistress… what is she saying?" Rappa looked at Kucha in confusion.

Kucha said coldly, "Rappa, she is a minion of the Evil Ninja."

"What? Umbra Headmistress… is a traitorous Ninja?"

Rappa's eyes widened instantly.

"Enough—Combat-Apes, take care of them!"

[ Enter Battle! ]

Master Kucha's voice echoed from behind: "Dazzling Ninja, today's trial has been changed to… defeating the traitorous Ninja!"

"Understood! Allow this one to demonstrate to Master the Dazzling Ninjutsu newly learned just now."

…

"Master Kucha has awakened!"

"Yes, yes, finally at this point!"

"I'm gonna kill this Denisovan 22 myself!"

"Dazzling Ninjutsu: Set the seas ablaze!"

"Dazzling Ninjutsu: Weep for the departed!"

"Wanted to say something cool, but my lack of culture limits me—time to slaughter!"

"Rappa: 'Finally able to unleash my full power without restraint!'"

…

Little Gui unleashed Rappa's Ultimate!

"Galactic Ninjutsu, ever-shifting and boundless."

"Behold—Ninjutsu Ultimate: Dazzling Annihilating Decapitation Matrix!"

The battle ended swiftly!

Umbra Headmistress stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

"How is that possible? This batch of Combat-Apes was personally bred by the Research-Apes…"

"My long hours of training have finally paid off. This is Dazzling Palm."

Rappa pulled down the brim of her hat and struck a pose.

Master Kucha said in a deep voice, "Look. This is what they call the "failed subject"."

"We conducted this experiment together. We were the ones who shaped her into this: someone with unparalleled intelligence, extraordinary perception, and incredible power…"

"Tell me. In what sense of the word is she considered a failure?"

"Y—You… how dare you question the Doctor's theory? The Research Apes must have their own considerations!"

Umbra Headmistress snarled in exasperation,

"The security system will be repaired soon. Prepare to feel the full force of Dr. Primitive's wrath, you oblivious kindling!"

Facing the frantic Umbra Headmistress.

Master Kucha merely said calmly, "You're wrong."

"Dr. Primitive… would never care about mortals like us."

"Rappa, the trial is over. Leave."

"Master Kucha, but…"

"Rappa, go."

"…Understood."

Right after Rappa left.

The screen suddenly went pitch black.

Only the voices of the two remained.

First was Umbra Headmistress's panicked voice: "Y—You are secretly concealing weapons as well? What are you planning—"

"Denisovan 22… thanks to you, I finally understood that morality is indeed a hypocritical and superficial concept…"

"So, I've decided to abandon it."

Master Kucha's voice carried a chilling coldness.

"My friend! Put down the gun! We've been classmates for so many years, you can't—"

"Umbra Headmistress, recite your death poem."

The visuals returned.

Master Kucha looked expressionlessly at the person on the ground who would never make a sound again.

He murmured, "This is karma. Retribution."

…

"Master has awakened!"

"Oh, so now you want to reminisce about old friendship?"

"Master Kucha taking down that old witch with a single shot is just too damn cool!"

"Draw the gun! This final round is your reward!"

"Originally an Erudition, yet in this moment walking the path of the Hunt!"

"And the girl he raised with his own hands will also embark on the long, winding path of the Hunt from now on!"

"This is top-tier Ninjutsu!"

"He ended his former comrade, and also killed the strayed version of himself."

"AWESOME!!!"

"Master is a true man!"

"Master Kucha, you are a true master!"

…

At the scene.

Seeing so many comments praising Master Kucha.

Rappa revealed a faint smile.

She naturally knew the ending that followed.

After that.

She had once returned to the laboratory.

However, the final result showed that.

Both Master Kucha and Umbra Headmistress had passed away.

And everything today.

This tale of the Galactic Ninjutsu Scrolls recorded within Honkai: Star Rail.

If Master knew in the afterlife.

He would surely show a gratified smile as well.

"Master, thank you."

At this moment.

Rappa froze slightly.

She noticed the description in the mission briefing.
