Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

During the years he was imprisoned by the elders of the Grass Kingdom, the restless Divine Fire was often subjected to the Heavenly Prison Technique. Every time his heart was burned by the raging flames, he would take advantage of the quiet of the night to calm down and explore the principles of the technique, hoping to break it.

As the saying goes, a long illness makes one a good doctor. Unexpectedly, the divine fire actually deduced the Heavenly Prison Technique in reverse. Just as he was preparing to break free of his own shackles and sneak out of prison, he suddenly found his body light.

The Heavenly Prison Technique that had been placed on Shenhuo's body inexplicably disappeared. Having understood the principle behind this technique, he was filled with mixed feelings, including joy, regret, and an indescribable sorrow.

After a period of reflection, on a dark and stormy night, Shenhuo successfully escaped from prison and embarked on a journey to find the girl.

"When Mako went berserk before, I planted the Heavenly Prison Technique on her to suppress her rampage."

With a bitter expression, Shinho slowly formed hand seals while explaining to Uchiha Gin, who was watching the scene unfold,

The Heavenly Prison Technique has two functions: one is to restrict the target's chakra accumulation, making them a Muggle; the other is that the caster can actively activate the Heavenly Prison Incantation to ignite the target's chakra until it is completely burned away.

"Alas!"

While searching for Uchiha Gin, Satoru suddenly felt an inexplicable burning sensation within his body. Chains of flames appeared on his massive body. Sensing something, he immediately followed the aura of the spellcaster and found the divine fire, whose upper body was bare and forming hand seals.

Feeling his chakra burning rapidly, Wu suddenly felt a strange sense of panic. It was true that he was an immortal being, but only if his original chakra still existed in the world.

If it continues to burn like this, it might really die.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Technique".

He ignited the curse on the girl inside Wu's body. Shenhu was in immense pain. His actions were tantamount to killing his wife, but he didn't want to see the monster possessing Mako continue to wreak havoc on the world. He decided to follow his heart.

"My Lord, I'm in so much pain~"

Just as the divine fire intensified its power to activate the Heavenly Prison Technique, the girl's innocent face reappeared on the ugly body of the scalded Satoru, who was suffering terribly from the burns. Mako's face was contorted with pain, and she sobbed softly with tears in her eyes.

"Mako."

Upon seeing the familiar girl, a slight ripple appeared on Shenhuo's usually expressionless face. Seeing this, Wu immediately used Zhenzi's body to beg the young man for mercy.

"My Lord, please let me go! I'm so hot and uncomfortable!"

Its tearful appearance moved even Uchiha Gin, who was watching from the sidelines, and he almost couldn't help but applaud it.

Wow! This monster's acting skills are pretty good; he could at least make a living in Hengdian.

"Thank you"

"The Divine Lord?"

Having used all his skills, Wu looked at the suddenly thanking Shenhuo with some suspicion, wondering what the other party was up to.

Shenhuo's gaze remained fixed on Zhenzi's fair and delicate face, filled with lust. However, knowing that the girl had already been devoured by the monster, he slowly closed his eyes and formed another Yin seal with his hands.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Prison!"

"boom!"

The next moment, the fiery chains around Wu surged up, their bindings tightening and enveloping the unsuspecting monster completely.

"what!"

Amidst the raging flames, the girl's delicate face was scorched and distorted by the intense heat, and she let out a pitiful wail. But the determined Divine Fire remained unmoved, continuing to unleash the advanced version he had developed.

The Fiery Prison Technique!

"Damn humans!"

Since the divine fire had already decided to kill, Wu simply stopped pretending to be a cute girl. Mako's expression changed, and Wu's ferocious beast head reappeared, its mouth wide open, held captive by flames.

The shrill voice carried an icy chill, and the overwhelming killing intent in its eyes, along with boundless malice, almost made Shenhuo, who was concentrating on casting a spell, faint.

More than ten minutes passed, and the chains binding Wu's body continued to burn fiercely, showing no sign of extinguishing. On the other hand, the thin young man on the Divine Fire side was covered in sweat, and his face, which had once retained a few traces of color, was now filled with an aura of death.

Casting the Heavenly Prison Technique comes at a price; the caster must expend a great deal of energy while controlling the burning of the incantation.

Wu's accumulated chakra over a thousand years is unfathomable. If the fire continues to burn at this rate, it can probably continue for several more years. However, the strength of the divine fire is only at the level of an elite Jonin, and it simply does not have enough energy to wear it down.

"Stop it, you'll die if you keep force-feeding her."

From Uchiha Gin's perspective, the already meager life force within Shinka's body was visibly dissipating. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the man died from exhaustion.

"I know, but there's no other way right now."

With a deathly pale face, Shenhuo gently shook his head. This young man, who was determined to die, decided to fight Wu to the bitter end.

"Hmph~ I'll see how long you can hold out!"

Trapped in place by the Great Fire Prison Technique, Satoru, after burning less than 1% of his chakra, lost his previous panic. He squatted there calmly, looking at the sweating Shenhuo with a tone full of mockery.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Shenhuo's eyelids were covered in sweat, and his hands, which were forming hand seals, began to tremble slightly. The already sparse muscles on his bare upper body were visibly shrinking, and the burning sensation in his throat made him gasp for breath.

"Ouch~ Why is the temperature dropping? You should add some more heat!"

Seeing that the divine fire was about to fail, Wu shouted arrogantly, his smug expression making Uchiha Gin rub his hands together involuntarily.

My hands are so itchy, I really want to punch them!

"Burn! Go ahead and set it on fire! Human, are you even capable?"

就在悟继续挑衅之际，它那张欠揍的大脸突然愣住，随后露出了人性化的挣扎之色，绿色的複眼开始忽明忽暗的闪烁，

"God-King."

Suddenly, a soft, sweet female voice, completely different from the usual style, came from Wu's hideous maw. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shenhuo's eyes widened in shock, but having been fooled once before, he didn't stop his Heavenly Prison Technique.

"My Lord! Kill me now!"

Mako's innocent face appeared on Satoru's face once again, but this time it was filled with urgency, as if he were racing against time.

"Mako?"

Seeing the familiar look in the eyes of this true child, Shenhuo almost interrupted his ninjutsu, but Wu's enormous beast body was still restless, so he quickly calmed his mind and continued to maintain the Heavenly Prison Technique.

"It's too late to explain, God, kill me."

The girl's face was serious as she urged him on.

Mako's consciousness has been fighting against Satoru for many years. The girl has always held back Satoru, preventing him from being fully born.

However, as the negative emotions from eating increased in recent years, Mako gradually became no match for Satoru. In the previous battle, Satoru's consciousness once again gained the upper hand, and the defeated girl was suppressed and buried in the deep darkness.

Just as Mako was sinking into the mire of malice, she suddenly saw a familiar ray of fire. As the fire spread, the dark space was once again illuminated, and a flame of hope ignited in the girl's heart. She struggled to get out of the mire and ran towards the scorching fire in the sky.

The girl, who regained consciousness, knew that the only way to stop the monster inside her was to die.

Back then, when Mako entered the Box of Elysium, before she could even see her surroundings clearly, she was quickly enveloped by boundless malice. All sorts of negative emotions poured into her consciousness, trying their best to bewitch her. As long as the girl had even the slightest desire, Satoru could use the opportunity to fulfill his wish and reappear in the human world.

Unfortunately, the girl's pure heart, as clear as a blank sheet of paper, could not be tainted by the malice within the Box of Bliss. Just when Wu was at his wit's end, he suddenly discovered that the human who could become his vessel actually possessed an obsession that transcended all other emotions.

That is it.

hunger.

"I'm so hungry~"

The desire for food can also be considered greed. Although Satoru was somewhat disgusted by this low-level desire, he had already missed his previous vessel, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter Mako's body to satisfy the girl's desire to eat.

And so, a monster who only knew how to eat was born from the Chest of Bliss. The elder who was outside making wishes like an idiot probably never imagined that someone inside the Chest of Bliss had already made a wish before him.

Although the girl's wish was to eat, Satoru, being a master of misinterpretation, naturally forced his own recipes onto Mako, controlling her body and making her feast on fresh human flesh. While satisfying the wishes of this vessel, he also absorbed the negative emotions he needed, waiting for the day of his complete resurrection.

Unable to fully control herself, Mako could only watch in despair as the black mist that was Satoru's incarnation devoured innocent humans. All she could do was try her best to pull it away so that it would eat less.

After sharing a body with Satoru for many years, the observant Mako discovered the monster's secret: Satoru had no physical form, but was merely a manifestation of malevolent chakra. Without her as a vessel, he would be sucked back into the Box of Bliss, waiting for the next person to make a wish.

Therefore, when Mako regained consciousness, she hurriedly asked Kamiga to kill her.

"But, Mako, you..."

Having confirmed that the other party was indeed Mako, Shinka hesitated. If the girl had been completely devoured by the monster before, he wouldn't have had much of a mental burden to strike. But now, standing in front of him was Mako, who possessed self-awareness. How could he bring himself to do it?

"Don't hesitate, hurry!"

Time was of the essence, and the girl knew she couldn't hold on much longer. Before she could finish speaking, red calluses began to appear on her face, and a look of struggle crossed her eyes.

"Woman, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish to be well-fed."

In the blink of an eye, the girl's consciousness succumbed, and Wu Zheng, who had taken over, grinned and licked his sharp teeth, his green compound eyes fixed on the worried-looking Shen Huo.

"Next meal, I'll let you taste the steaming heart of your beloved!"

"My Lord, act quickly!"

As the red keratin was about to engulf her, the girl used her last strength to shout towards the divine fire.

"Mako!"

It hurts, it hurts too much!

This profound sense of powerlessness brought Shenhuo's regret to its peak. Having figured everything out, his eyes narrowed, and he frantically drained the life force within his body, converting it into chakra and pouring it into the Heavenly Prison Technique as if it were free.

The kind-hearted girl had witnessed countless lives end in her own hands. How could he possibly understand the pain she had endured? So this time, he wanted to help Mako find release.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Prison Technique!"

"what!"

The Heavenly Prison Technique, unleashed at super-powerful output, caused Wu to let out a deafening scream, writhing on the ground in agony. Yet, a hint of relief appeared on the girl's face, which had not yet faded.

"Thank you, God."

"puff!"

Squeezed into a low-budget version of Nagato, Shinka couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but his pale face was filled with tenderness. Their eyes met, and in the background was Satoru's violent screams. The whole scene was both tragic and heartwarming.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, a burst of applause, contrary to the current mood, rang out. The couple who had been exchanging glances subconsciously stopped looking at each other and looked away. Even Wu, who had been screaming, stopped howling and wanted to see who was spoiling the mood.

"Wow! That's so touching!"

Meanwhile, Uchiha Gin and Kakuzu, who had been idling around the scene, were sitting on two small stools they had somehow acquired, clapping excitedly.

Uchiha Gin even wiped the compound eyes on his faceplate, saying that he was so moved that even a tough guy like him shed tears.

"Um, when did I start watching plays with you?"

Kakuzu seemed to wake from a dream, first looking at his reddened hands, then touching the warm stool beneath him, and frowning in confusion.

He was clearly preparing to run away, so how did he end up sitting here watching this dramatic tale of life and death?

"Don't worry about the details, just tell me, weren't you moved?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin turned his head away, his threatening gaze causing Kakuzu to instantly sit up straight.

"I dare not move!"

"Um?"

"So touching! I've never been this moved in my life!"

"That's more like it!"

Satisfied, Uchiha Gin patted Kakuzu's shoulder, stood up, ignored the divine fire's attempts to stop him, and slowly walked to Satoru, who was bound by flames.

"Mr. Rabbit, don't come any closer!"

When Mako saw the rabbit knight who had saved the divine fire swaggering over, she immediately shouted to stop him.

But Uchiha Gin was a man who had seen the world, how could he be afraid of a little karaomi like Satoru? Ignoring the girl's warning, he walked up to Satoru's hideous face.

Looking at the ugly, unattractive face, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, looking quite troubled.

"Human, do you want to die?"

Sensing Gin Uchiha's unfriendly gaze, Satoru gritted his teeth and threatened,

"Ugh~ You're so ugly, how can you survive in the Kamen Rider circle without getting plastic surgery?"

"ha?"

Wu blinked his green compound eyes in confusion, indicating that he hadn't heard what this human was babbling about.

"Who's in charge between you two?"

After scrutinizing the incredibly ugly Satoru for a while, Uchiha Gin's gaze lingered between Shinji and Kamikaze.

"This is not the time to talk about this. Please step aside, I'm about to make my move."

When asked about Uchiha Gin's tangential question, Kamuka showed the same bewildered expression as Go, but the crisis was not over yet, and he had no time to argue with this strange knight.

"Come, divine fire!"

"I'm going to go, Mako!"

"Hey hey hey! Bean sack~"

Seeing that the young couple was about to start their love-hate relationship again, Uchiha Gin quickly tried to stop them, but the divine fire had already been unleashed from the Tiger Seal once more.

Seeing this, Uchiha Ginichi raised his hand, and a gust of wind directly knocked away the divine fire that was about to be unleashed. The bewildered youth stared wide-eyed in mid-air, with only two words in his mind.

Finished!

"Hahaha, I'm free!"

With the Divine Fire Ninjutsu interrupted, Satoru regained his freedom. He stretched his limbs as if in rehabilitation, then grinned at Uchiha Gin, who had attacked him.

"Human, since you're so sensible, I'll allow you to become my first servant."

"Sorry, I'm not interested, unless you're a short, blonde, animal-eared little girl who's only 1.5 meters tall."

"ha?"

Uchiha Gin's swift refusal and vicious words nearly made Satoru faint. Feeling that he had underestimated it, Satoru once again extended its gleaming claws and attacked this shameless human.

"Nisuchi!"

"Watch out!"

The divine fire, which had been knocked away, leaped back with a somersault and then shouted a warning.

"Allah, allah, kid, don't worry, he's Kamen Rider Decade!"

However, a large silver hand once again rested on Shinka's shoulder. Kakuzu, who was not worried about Uchiha Gin's safety at all, said in a very calm tone.

"but."

"No buts."

"Bang! Smack! Bang! Smack!"

Just as the divine fire was about to speak again, a loud bang suddenly rang in his ears. Startled, he turned around and saw a scene that left him speechless.

The seemingly invincible Wu, whom he had previously considered invincible, was actually lifted up by the rabbit knight with one hand, smashed left and right, and slammed into the solid ground, creating two large craters.

The monster, powerless to resist, resembled a cat that had just been neutered, its tongue lolling out, its eyes gazing blankly at the sky, filled with despair for the present reality.

Just as Uchiha Gin grabbed him, Satoru found that his strength was being restrained by some means the moment he was grabbed, leaving him no room to resist. He was then tossed around like a basketball.

"Who...who are you?"

After being thrown around and feeling completely disoriented, Wu finally asked the classic line once again.

"Oh?"

I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up.

"Ahem, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you."

Uchiha Gin tossed aside the sword he was holding, straightened his clothes, coughed a few times, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and introduced himself.

"I'm just a Kamen Rider Decade passing by for a moment, got it?"

"Onorei, the Knight!"

Satoru, who had been carelessly discarded by the Uchiha Silver Statue trash, found that his power had been restored once again. Unforgettable, he once again revealed a fierce glint in his eyes, shouted, and suddenly the dorsal fins on his arms stood up, emitting a chilling light. Then he leaped high into the air, slashing down with both hands at the despicable rabbit knight.

"Double Cut!"

"That move actually had some presence!"

Seeing Wu's ultimate technique, Uchiha Gin nodded with apparent approval. To everyone's surprise, instead of dodging through the strange black hole as before, he slowly stepped back with his right leg.

Why didn't he dodge? What was he trying to do?

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Go's technique, Shinho looked on with deep doubt and turned to ask Kakuzu beside him.

"Could this be?"

As a knight, Kakuzu naturally knew the knight's signature move. Judging from Uchiha Gin's stance, it seemed like he was preparing to unleash a finishing move.

"Hahaha, die!"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin neither dodged nor flinched, Go's eyes were filled with pleasure, as if he could already see the corpse that had been chopped into pieces by it.

"Rider kick~"

Without any fancy electronic voices, Uchiha Gin calmly raised his head, looked at Satoru who was about to fall, and said softly,

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes as Uchiha Gin executed a graceful turn, his right leg effortlessly grazing Satoru's body—everything was so simple and unpretentious.

However, Goku's rapidly falling body stopped in mid-air after Uchiha Gin turned around, and his murderous expression froze as if in a trance.

"Pfft~"

Just as everyone held their breath, a soft cracking sound rang out, followed by a series of explosions like firecrackers.

"Puff puff puff puff!"

Wu, suspended in mid-air, began to contort violently. Uniform footprints appeared on his dark red keratin at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and thick black mist rapidly seeped from his shattered wounds.

"what!"

At that moment, it seemed as if time had returned to normal. Satoru, his body covered in deep footprints, screamed and fell behind Uchiha Gin.

"Snap!"

Gin Uchiha, with his back to Satoru, didn't turn around. He raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

"Ah? No!"

"Bang!!!"

Satoru, covered in wounds, screamed in terror. He felt his body brimming with violent energy, which was rapidly disintegrating his primordial chakra. But before he could beg for mercy, the energy from the kick by the Uchiha Silver Knight was detonated.

With a burst of flame shooting into the sky, Wu's massive body gradually transformed into dark red particles. Just as everyone craned their necks to investigate, Uchiha Gin slowly pulled a blank card from a slot at his waist.

As if drawn by an attraction, the particles all rushed toward the card, and in the blink of an eye, a dark red piranha appeared on the blank card.

"It's alright, but it's good enough that I took you out to play~"

Looking at the newly drawn card in his hand, Uchiha Gin's gaze fell on the name on the card.

【alpha】

"Mako!"

After recovering from the shock of Uchiha Gin's instant kill of Satoru, Shenhuo's gaze immediately passed over the mysterious rabbit knight and landed on the fallen girl. Ignoring his own frail body, he instantly rushed over, picked up the unconscious Mako, and cried out loudly.

"Um, God? Is this the Pure Land?"

The girl, now back in the human world, slowly opened her bewildered eyes. Looking at the young man holding her in his arms, she pursed her lips with a hint of sadness.

No, we all survived.

Shaking his head excitedly, Shenhuo pointed at Uchiha Gin not far away and said,

"The knight saved us."

"I didn't say this was the end of it~"

Gin Uchiha, fiddling with his new card, turned to look at the couple weeping in each other's arms, his tone somewhat cold.

Even if Wu is a cannibal, don't the two of them bear any responsibility?

"Snapped!"

Shenhu released the girl and delivered a Dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) to Uchiha Gin, instantly drawing blood from his forehead.

"A sensation in the private Marseille!"

"Don't try that on me, I'm not buying it~"

Uchiha Gin shook his head; this trick wouldn't work on him.

"We are willing to accept any punishment, just please don't separate us again."

Grasping the helpless girl's hand, Shenhuo's face was filled with a strong sense of determination.

Turning his head, Uchiha Gin looked at the three large characters on the town gate with a strange expression.

"Then you shall spend the rest of your lives protecting this town that you have harmed."
