This was simply a death sentence!
With March of the Dead - Yatsufusa pressed against Akame's neck, Akame looked at her sister Kurome with sorrowful eyes. "Really... do I have to choose between these two?"
Kurome, tears streaming down her face, spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for doubt: "Yes! Me! Or your so-called ideal! You must choose one between these two, and you can only choose one!" There was no other way. At this, Akame immediately fell into a painful dilemma. How exactly should she choose?
If she chose Kurome, she would inevitably betray her ideals. If she chose her ideals, she would have to abandon her sister. The members of Night Raid watched Akame, their gazes extremely tense, worried about what Akame would choose.
Uchiha Madara, watching Akame, felt a subtle, faint ache. Because Kurome's question felt just like the life-or-death questions his own little sisters from his previous life would ask him: If your mother and I both fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?!
Truly a headache-inducing question. Uchiha Madara put his hand to his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.
Meanwhile, Akame was trapped in painful internal struggle. After an unknown amount of time spent in bitter torment, Akame's eyes were red-rimmed. She cried out loudly to her sister, who was facing her with a hint of self-destruction, "How do you expect me to choose such a question?!
Rather than betraying one side that I cherish, I would rather choose to die!" With a fierce roar, Akame's eyes reddened. She grabbed the blade of March of the Dead - Yatsufusa, ignoring the fact that it would cut her, and mercilessly pierced her own neck!
With a gasp, a major artery was severed! Blood spurted!
In that instant, Kurome, holding the blade, froze. The other members of Night Raid froze. Even Uchiha Madara froze. He hadn't expected Akame's reaction to be so fierce! Gah! March of the Dead - Yatsufusa fell to the ground. Kurome's pupils constricted. She looked at the scene before her with shock, seeing Akame's face turn deathly pale in an instant, her body collapsing weakly forward.
Kurome shrieked, almost instinctively catching her sister in her arms! The surrounding Night Raid members were greatly shocked and swarmed forward, frantically trying to support Akame, babbling her name incoherently! In the midst of Night Raid's gathering,
Kurome's entire body trembled as she clutched her sister. The blood quickly stained Kurome's and Akame's clothes. Lying in Kurome's embrace, Akame felt her body growing colder and her consciousness becoming increasingly hazy...
Kurome was utterly terrified now. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her hands desperately tried to stem the blood gushing from Akame's neck, but it was unstoppable. The child finally realized the true depth of her feelings for her sister, her heart aching in pain: "Sister! Sister! Someone save my sister...!"
Pushing Lubbock, who was blocking him, aside, Uchiha Madara stepped forward, his hand extending towards Akame's neck, unleashing a torrent of life force and Yin-Yang Release as if it were worthless! Seeing Uchiha Madara's actions, the Night Raid members quickly parted slightly, giving Uchiha Madara space.
Seeing Uchiha Madara's actions, Kurome seemed to grasp a lifeline, desperately pleading with Uchiha Madara: "Lord Madara! Lord Madara! Please save my sister!" (For amazing novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!) Uchiha Madara turned his head to look at Kurome and questioned: "Do you regret it?"
"I regret it!"
"Have you understood clearly?"
"Understood clearly!"
"And will you still torment your sister?"
"No, no, I won't dare again! Never again! Lord Madara... please save my sister..."
Kurome was utterly terrified, crying so hard that pear blossoms fell with the rain, crying until the world went dark.
"Alright, I'll do my best!"
With that, Uchiha Madara began to heal Akame with all his might. He said "do his best," but in truth, saving Akame was as easy as flipping his palm for Uchiha Madara. Just now, it was simply to frighten Kurome and also to let Akame understand that her sister had forgiven her.
Akame, in Kurome's embrace, although her eyes were closed and her face pale and frightening, had actually stabilized. She slowly regained consciousness and heard Kurome's desperate cries for Uchiha Madara.
Truly, Akame felt extremely blessed at this moment. Confirming her sister's forgiveness, she would even be willing to die instantly if Uchiha Madara wished it. Akame was his subordinate; he had not intended for her to die, so even he himself could not kill himself!
With both life force and Yin-Yang Release, Akame was quickly healed. Under Uchiha Madara's palm, the large cut on her neck's main artery had completely healed. Uchiha Madara was activating the hematopoietic stem cells within Akame's body,
wildly regenerating blood. Approximately three minutes later, Akame's complexion finally returned to a healthy rosy hue. Uchiha Madara released his hand. The injury on her neck was gone.
Akame, in Kurome's embrace, opened her eyes, looking at Kurome with both excitement and apology. As for Kurome, her tears directly fell like broken pearls, streaming down, and even falling onto Akame's face. The surrounding Night Raid members also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Uchiha Madara took a step back, continuously gesturing and winking at the Night Raid members. His intention was simple: to get these meddlesome fellows to leave quickly and provide enough quiet space for the two sisters to properly communicate after their long-lost connection.
Leaving this place to Akame and Kurome, Uchiha Madara led a vast group of people away.
The troubles of the night were finally over. As morning arrived, the sun rose from the horizon, and the first rays of sunlight shone down from the sky onto the two sisters, Akame and Kurome, bathing them in sunlight...
