Uchiha Madara: Reborn As Cao Cao

* * * * *

An elderly male voice.

"Sun Wukong? As in the one spoken of in legends such as Journey to the West?"

A Dai-Youkai who has mastered Youjutsu and Senjutsu.

The one who was promoted into a God.

Qitia-n Dasheng, Sun Wukong.

A figure of legend was in front of Cao Cao.

"That is correct. I am the first generation Sun Wukong."

"What are you doing here?" Cao Cao could not help but ask.

"I had some business here. And, this temple is the right place for me to stay. I have placed a barrier around the temple. You can rest here until you gather enough strength."

"Thanks for saving me."

Cao Cao held this man in high reverence.

"Hmm...as I said before, I didn't really do much. I only controlled the Ki within your body to accelerate the regeneration of your wounds but, even without my help, it would have healed up on its own. Your body itself is more powerful than you expect."

First Gen puffed his pipe and spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"You already know about your true heritage, correct?"

Cao Cao nodded his head.

"So you know that you are the descendant of one of the greatest heroes in history. And of course, I am sure your name is Cao Cao. Although, I have no idea if that plays a part in why your body can heal itself so quickly."

Cao Cao raised his body and propped himself at the edge of the bed.

"First Gen dono, can I ask you something?"

First Gen puffed out another column of smoke as he replied--

"Ask away kid."

"Since young...I've been getting these dreams. Dreams of this particular man. And every time this man appears, there is always fighting and carnage ongoing. But somehow... ...I feel like I have a connection with this person. Every time he appears... ...it feels as though I am the one there. Like I am in his body and watching everything from there. As though--"

"I was the one fighting instead."

First Gen removed the pipe from his mouth as he faced Cao Cao.

"There was this startling concept in the past--that this life we live is merely a dream and and that we will 'awake' to the 'real' reality when we die, when our 'dream' ends. Now--"

"There are six causes of dreams, with three of them being organic. The fourth is stated to be due to the intervention of external forces while the fifth and sixth, is stated to be the revival of past experience and the influence of future events respectively. In your case--"

First Gen started to put on a serious expression as he ill.u.s.trated to Cao Cao.

"It should be due to the fifth reason. Some people believe that our mind is the depository of all kammic energies acc.u.mulated in the past. Sometimes, when a kamma is about to ripen, that is, when the action we did in a previous life is going to experience it's reaction, the mind which is at rest during sleep can trigger off a 'picture' or 'scene' of what happened."

"So you mean... ..." However, First Gen cut Cao Cao off.

"After saying all these, I don't need to provide you the answer to your question. I'm pretty sure you can guess for yourself what I mean."

So that means...

That man is...

Those powers of his...

"Anyway, you shouldn't think too much about it yet. You should focus on recuperating your body. You need rest. I have already taken care of the two who were following you, so you needn't worry about them."

!!!

"Look at how shocked you are. Well, I am sorry that I took out your enemy but with your current strength, you cannot win them." First Gen said as a matter of fact.

"So you know huh?"

"Those fallen-angels you encountered belonged to a stray group, misaligned from their own faction. They have been hunting Sacred Gear users."

Sacred Gear?

Is the Spear also one of them?

"First Gen dono, when I fought against one of the fallen-angels, a Spear materialized in my hand and I managed to kill it when a single attack. Is that also a Sacred Gear?"

At this point, First Gen's removed his glasses and his eyes lit up.

As expected--

This kid is--

"What did that Spear look like?"

"Uhh...I can't really remember but it was an ornate spear with a dark blue rod and it was longer than most spears I have seen."

First Gen stroked his chin.

So it's true.

This kid is really the possessor...

Is this fate?

"Kid, the spear you held during that fight is known as the True Longinus."

True Longinus?

"Unlike normal Sacred Gears, Longinus are one of a kind. As of now, there are thirteen different Longinus in existence. What you wield, Kid, is one of the Holy Relics alongside the True Cross, Holy Chalice and Holy Nails. The Spear said to have pierced the side of Christ as he lay on the cross. Considered to be one of the biggest "bugs" in the Sacred Gear system, having world-class powers that could destroy the world when used in the wrong hands, the True Longinus--"

- - - - -

"Is the first and most powerful Longinus in existence."
