"Ximen Chuixue, huh."
Xin sighed with a tone of reminiscence.
"Do you... know him?"
Sasuke's eyes widened, and he looked at Xin with sudden anticipation, even unconsciously using an honorific.
He looked exactly like a fangirl hearing news about her idol.
"You could say I do." Xin smiled. "Don't look at him like he's cold and lonely. Actually, he has friends, a wife, and a child. Surprisingly, he's a proud... good person."
"How could that be—" Sasuke couldn't help but exclaim.
He seemed somewhat unwilling to believe it, as that was clearly someone who dedicated everything to the sword and pursued strength.
Sasuke was still obsessed with power.
Ximen Chuixue's ultimate power and his relentless pursuit of it deeply attracted him.
Only then did he realize.
There was such a way of life, one that entrusted everything to the sword in one's hand, for only the sword would not betray oneself.
So he couldn't imagine why such a person would get married.
"Actually, it's just a matter of choice," Xin said softly, stroking Himari, who was already asleep in his arms, as if seeing through Sasuke's question. "As I said before, swordsmanship is the path of killing and slaughter. The Heartless Sword is indeed a suitable choice for a sword, but all power can be used for protection, and the sword is no exception. That would be... the Sword of Utmost Emotion."
"The Sword of Utmost Emotion?" Sasuke murmured these words.
He was completely different now than he had been just a few hours ago.
He had opened so many Mystery Box.
He had learned so many sword moves.
He thought he was already familiar with the sword, but at this moment, he didn't quite understand what Xin was saying.
"Isn't a sword just for killing people?" He asked.
"Hahaha," Xin couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head. "You still have a long way to go on the path of swordsmanship. As you are now, let alone the Sword of Utmost Emotion, you can't even achieve the Heartless Sword."
He could tell that Sasuke was a little full of himself.
It seemed Sasuke in the anime was also like that.
Unexplained confidence, followed by a brutal beating.
After learning Chidori, he dared to charge at Uchiha Itachi, and the result was obvious. In fact, throughout the entire anime, the number of times Sasuke was beaten was countless.
Sure enough.
Sasuke was a little unconvinced. "Anyone who dares to obstruct my revenge, no matter who they are, I can kill without hesitation. Isn't that the Heartless Sword?"
He tilted his chin slightly, his gaze firm.
He was already completely different from before.
