"Not bad, oh yes, now that I think about it, I almost forgot, I have a question for you, have you been to lake Harami (はらみ) over on Shinshu field yet, in the middle of it stands the moon cave where Orochi's spirit was trapped.
A barrier was blocking the entrance ever since Tsukuyomki was removed, which means Orochi is still in there, I wish to get through that barrier and enter the cave, but I need the serpent crystal however to do that, you wouldn't happen to have any idea where I could find the serpent crystal at now, would you?"
"Why do you have to pull out your sword just to even ask that, besides, why do you wanna visit Orochi's lair in the first place?"
"So then, you don't know it seems, at any rate, I guess I'll just have to find it on my own then, however, before I do bid you adieu, I have another prophecy for you, I foresee a 'Dog-gone' difficult quest, now then, Au revoir, baby!"
It was with that, Waka had left, jumping gracefully from ledge to ledge until he made his exit.
"Hey Ammy, I have an idea, how about we try and beat Waka to that Serpent crystal he was talking about, besides, I can't help but get the feeling that pretty boy is up to no good, plus, we might just get lucky and find another celestial brush technique!"
As Amaterasu continued on the path to restore the Guardian Sapling, she also bloomed any dead trees that were around as well.
However, as she made it to the bridge to the Guardian Sapling, the bridge seemed to be out, but with her rejuvenation brush technique, she was able to restore the bridge.
All that was left now was to bloom the Guardian Sapling.
As Amaterasu drew a circle around the Guardian Sapling, it bloomed, bursting into a frenzy of flora and cherry blossoms, dispelling the cursed zone.
Taka pass truly looked rather beautiful without that nasty cursed zone around.
