"Thank you. Wait, what did you say?"
Sāra didn't immediately understand Yusuke's words, initially thinking he was comforting her. She replied with a thank you.
Realizing his meaning, she cried even harder.
After all she'd been through, this stranger was rubbing salt in her wounds. How infuriating!
"As a queen, you've failed. But I admire your sincerity and courage."
"I'll eliminate Mukade. But governing the country, choosing your advisors—that's your responsibility as queen."
Sāra was stunned.
His tone was flat, as if eliminating Mukade was trivial.
"I know you're capable, important even beyond Rōran. But if Mukade controls the Ryūmyaku, no one here can defeat him. We need to sever the Ryūmyaku's power."
Yusuke remained noncommittal. Even with the Ryūmyaku's power, Mukade wasn't a threat. He didn't need to explain the battle strategy to Sāra.
Following Mukade, Yusuke and Sāra arrived at a cave.
The cave was enormous, two or three hundred meters high, with spiral staircases, clearly man-made.
The cave's bottom was filled with brown, liquid chakra, like a chakra lake.
The chakra churned constantly; no one knew its depth or how much chakra it contained.
This was Yusuke's goal—the Ryūmyaku chakra.
"This is the Ryūmyaku chakra. It contains powerful Yang Release and incredible life force. But this is just chakra, not a regenerative resource. We need to find the true Ryūmyaku."
Seeing the chakra lake, Yusuke's eyes lit up.
He believed the Ryūmyaku could solve the Mangekyō Sharingan problem.
Mukade, in a new disguise, was hidden inside a giant scorpion-like puppet.
Behind the giant puppet were smaller guard puppets.
The puppets were technologically advanced, using unique bio-technology; the materials were infused with Ryūmyaku chakra.
If damaged, the puppets would self-repair using the endless Ryūmyaku chakra, making them nearly immortal.
"Uchiha Yusuke, the ninja world calls you the strongest. But here, I am!"
Mukade's voice echoed from the puppet. The guard puppets attacked Yusuke and Sāra.
These puppets resembled sci-fi robots: humanoid upper bodies with mechanical arms, and disc-like lower bodies for flight.
"There are too many! We should…"
Seeing the puppets, Sāra spoke urgently, but was interrupted.
"Fire Release: Fūka."
Yusuke clasped his hands; the cave's temperature soared. A crimson whirlwind swept through Mukade's army, engulfing the puppets in flames.
Brown chakra surrounded the burning puppets, repairing them—the Ryūmyaku's effect.
"Interesting."
Yusuke chuckled, tightening his clasped hands, increasing his chakra output. The temperature rose sharply; the whirlwind intensified.
The flames burned fiercer; the puppets were consumed before the Ryūmyaku could repair them.
In seconds, they turned to ash, despite the Ryūmyaku's efforts.
Mukade felt fear. His giant scorpion puppet, with its superior strength and access to Ryūmyaku chakra, was still vulnerable to Yusuke's casual jutsu.
"Using the Ryūmyaku's endless chakra, you surpass all ninjas in chakra reserves and regeneration. But your control over power is lacking."
Yusuke stood on the giant scorpion puppet. Mukade, turning the puppet's head, saw Yusuke's impassive gaze.
Yusuke unsheathed his Ryūjin Jakka, its flames blazing. He plunged the sword into the puppet's back; crimson flames engulfed it.
Like the guard puppets, despite the Ryūmyaku's repair, the puppet was consumed within moments.

Only Mukade's desperate, resentful screams remained.
After eliminating Mukade, Yusuke focused his spiritual pressure and slashed at the Ryūmyaku chakra lake.
To Sāra's shock, a clean cut appeared in the lake. Yusuke jumped into the opening.
The cut sealed quickly.
"There's something below."
Passing through the liquid chakra, Yusuke reached a secluded underground lake.
The Ryūmyaku chakra concentration here was far higher than in the lake above. A massive root was at the lake's center.
"The Ryūmyaku is this root. A root with such life force… it's likely a root from the God Tree."
As Yusuke guessed, the God Tree, enraged after Kaguya Ōtsutsuki took its chakra fruit, rampaged as the Ten-Tails.
To become the Ten-Tails, the God Tree abandoned its roots, leaving behind the "Ryūmyaku."
(Note: This is additional; the original story doesn't mention the Ryūmyaku's origin.)
