Chapter12 – Tendou Jigoku, The Key to Eternal Life

As Kurei's shadows near the Moon Palace, hundreds of men in black suits swarmed before him. As for Kurei, they were no stronger than a battletank to begin with. He burned them all out mercilessly until not even ashes are left. Then, another Ura Uruha appeared before him carrying another weapon identical to Chigusari's Yamato. In it is a sphere with the word matter engraved. The sphere controls the element of matter. Before the assassin could do his job, Kurei had already sliced him into half. Kurei stared at the weapon and decided to pick up the sphere. He then looks up and proceeded.

Kurei entered the Moon Palace but he couldn't find his mother anywhere. Only a coffin without a body. He thought that Raiha probably saved her from the bomb and took her somewhere else. Seeing that his mother isn't there, he burned down the palace and walked away, brining the sphere of matter with him.

Raiha on the other hand, is too late in diffusing the bomb. After he reached the Palace, Miss Tsukino was already motionless on the ground. He thought that it would be best for him and Kurei to just bury her somewhere far from the Palace. Somewhere far, far away from danger. Somewhere where her soul could live forever without worries. Somewhere where no one will bother her anymore.

Meanwhile, at the Hokage's secret hideout, Koganei and the rest of the team were talking about the different Ura Uruha assassins that appeared to them. Suddenly, Koku appeared to them and mentioned about the three types of madougus. "One, the madougus of destruction. These madougus are meant to kill. Two, the madougus of protection. These madougus are meant to protect it's bearer. Three, the madougu of enhancement. These madougus only provides little help." He mentioned that Kouran Mori would discover the most powerful madougu of Hokage shortly. And that once he gets hold of this madougu, it will be the end of everything. This dreaded madougu, is the most powerful Hokage madougu ever created, Tendou Jigoku! "Then where can we find this Tendou Jigoku?" Recca asked, but Koku nodded and denies to reveal it to him. "It will be far too dangerous for you all." He said. It was then until Joker came and revealed the location of the sealed madougu. Koku gets very annoyed and returned to the Ryudoken.

As the team heads for the Cave of Tendou Jigoku, Kagero and Recca's father stayed home and watched them with the help of Kagero's Eikai Gyoku. As they entered the cave, three living dead appeared to them and greeted them. Fuuko jumps up and attempted to slice the zombies into pieces but as she was about to slice them, she heard a voice saying that the zombies aren't evil. They are… human beings!

Recca was in shock. He never thought that those zombies were humans. Humans whose life they could never end. Just like the curse of time that that stops the passage of time in the person's body. No matter how these people tried to kill themselves, they are never successful. "It was because of greed…" They said, "Greed to attain the most powerful madougu." However, Tendou Jigoku denied to give them it's power and cursed them for trying to steal itself, the curse of eternal life. Furthermore, the three men were sentenced to be trapped inside the cave forever.

Then, after they narrated their stories, one of them could feel someone hugging him. It was Yanagi Sakoshita. They just looked at her and sighed. Not even their foul smell and creepy looks scared Yanagi and yet, she still hugged them like they are real person. Their tears started falling down. Not because that finally they felt human flesh touched them but they felt that even with their looks, there is still someone who cares for them.

After a while, Yanagi let go and goes back to Recca. Then, Tokiya stood out and waved his Ensui, causing the three people to freeze. Recca angrily questioned Tokiya, however, all he heard from Tokiya is that… "it would be better to freeze them and ease their suffering rather than to let them live forever and suffer."

At some point, Recca thought that Tokiya is right. He smiled and continued to run forward, closer to their destination. Then, a fork divides them individually. Each of them took their own path and went closer to their destination.

Domon at his own path, defeated Gaou and met with Recca. Koganei found his nemesis, Kamui. Then as he looks at him, he remembered the things that Miss Tsukino told him. The one who burned down the Tsuki no Miya, was a half-human, half-cyborg mowhawk haired person. Now, he is certain that it was Kamui who tried to kill Miss Tsukino. With a strong determination to win, He defeated Kamui and throwed his body into the freezing water ahead. Tokiya met with Mowkuren and the lost Jyushinshu, Mikoto. He defeated Mikoto's Shirahige, and Mowkuren's Kodama. However, as he walks away from Mowkuren, a woman appeared to him and in a flash, Tokiya was all covered with blood.

Fuuko met with Hisui and got her Shinryo Shintou. Then, Soukakusai appeared before her and trapped her inside Tamasui no Tsubo. Raiha appeared to them and destroyed Soukakusai's madougu and ended his life as well. Finally he got Fuuko out and proceeded to her destination. Recca and Yanagi met up with Fumimaru and burned him up after he lunges at Rui's breasts.

As the team are busy defeating every members of the Assassins, Kurei finally reached the Cave Of Tendou Jigoku. Apparently, Joker appeared to him and directed the cave to him. As he nears the tree, three Ura Uruha assassins appeared to him and were again burned into ashes. After the death of the assassins, he inserted the sphere of matter and burned it out, causing the mouth of the cave to open.

Shortly, Kouran Mori has found the location of Tendou Jigoku. Rassen and Kirin guarded the great door and had a battle with Recca. Rassen, who carries the evilest of all madougu, Koukai Gyoku has the sacred power of erasing anything it touches. And Kirin, who carries her Houkishin whose power is identical to Domon's Kuchibashi Oh.

Recca and his friends outsmarted Rassen and Kirin and defeated them. Finally, It leaves Renge and Kouran Mori alone inside the great door. As Recca and his friends enters the room, a huge beam blasted them but luckily, It didn't hit anyone. If they were too slow to get away from it, they might be fried to dust. As they looked up to see where the beam came from, a powerful aura greeted them. The aura produced by the titanic power of the union of strength of Kouran Mori and Tendou Jigoku!
