Boundaries.

I regained self-awareness, I open my eyes and find myself submerged in the water.

At first glance this place seems unknown to me but then I recognize where I am.

'I returned'

Then, as if the water was transformed into air, I stopped floating and fell downwards.

I fell dry to the ground but nothing in my body hurt, I didn't even get dirty (the laws of physics seem to work differently).

I look towards the castle ahead.

In all this time that has passed, the castle no longer looks abandoned, now it looks much better than the previous one, it seems to have been recovered by 40%.

Then canine inwards, the main door has no door so there is no obstacle to enter.

Inside the castle I found a silent scene.

'How strange, normally this place is very lively' With a bit of surprise I keep walking to see if I find someone but everything is so quiet.

I reach the end of the path, a stone chair in the middle of a large hall.

I just go ahead and sit on it.

I close my eyes for a moment and the next second I heard a voice next to me.

"It's nice to see you here again." At some point, Dracov had appeared without my noticing.

He is there, looking at me with his always calm and elegant smile.

If he was in another situation then he would have jumped out of his skin, a pity, in this world emotions like fear, happiness, anger seem to be very superfluous, they are like a breeze on the face, I hardly even feel it.

"Oh Dracov, it's you, I see that you are as usual"

"Naturally, I always stay at my strongest state" He gives a simple answer.

"What happened to the others?" I'm not fooling around and ask directly.

"Oh, about that, they are recovering, the fight they had a few days ago deeply affected Instinct, Shadow and Pablo" He answers directly as well.

I remain silent.

One time when I came before, Dracov had explained to me that when I leave here he sometimes invoked the influence of some of the entities here, the reason I don't notice most of the time is because they are really me, just which are displayed in different ways.

"*sigh* what a problem" Even in this place worry cannot be suppressed.

"No need to get stressed, look on the bright side"

"What good is it to lose control on a certain occasion?" I express my concern.

"Well, ignoring that inconvenience, invoking the influences here takes him to his limits"

"Limits?" I frown.

"Let me explain: every living being, whether big or small, has a limit that it can reach in its life, the chakra is naturally something extraordinary, it allows you to reach those limits, unfortunately the number of people who are capable of reaching their limits they are very small; in his case, summoning the entities would be a kind of impulse that slowly pushes him to his limits, he has not noticed their action recently"

"Recently?" Then the memories of months ago where my power was stagnant come to me, I just don't know what happened that from one moment to another my power began to improve enormously.

"So that's why my power was improving...I thought it was my training"

"Naturally their training had a lot to do with it since the improvements they provide are like raw material, if you didn't refine them then they would just stay in that state"

'But still...'

"Is this what's wrong with Naruko?"

"I would say yes, carrying the spirit of the fox within her causes her body to be pushed to its limits just like you are."

"..." I think that with this sentence I understand much better what is the difference between someone without talent and a talented genius.

Then a question crosses my mind.

"What is my limit?"

"..." Dracov was momentarily silent.

"What's wrong, tell me"

The butler hesitates for a moment but decides to tell me.

"Peak elite ninja, one step from Hokage level"

My mind is momentarily paralyzed.

"Elite Ninja..." he stared in a daze to the front.

"There is no need to throw in the towel yet, other people will need half a life to reach their limits, you are different, you are quickly approaching your limits which could be a good sign since you would have the opportunity to break your limits if you strive"

"How long will that take?"

"Well, that depends on each person, some take many years and others never make it but I'm optimistic with you, if you train for many years then-"

"Dracov, stop it, you don't need to give me such hope, if you are me then you will be aware that even if I break the limits of elite ninja it would still be useless, the future this level will be like big ants nothing more"

He remains silent, not knowing how to respond.

"*sigh*, so after I reach my limits I'll live like anyone else, without being able to move any further"

I suddenly felt a bit depressed and sad upon hearing about this matter.

I guess this is what others felt when they found out they couldn't go any further.

"Indeed, that is most likely, but don't lose hope, the world is big, there must be other ways to overcome this, maybe even the answer is closer to you"

"You mean the system?"

"Yes, isn't the system something transcendental?"

"Yeah but the system has been very quiet these last few years and-...oh well, never mind, my time here is up." I don't need Dracov to tell me about it, since over time I could feel it.

So I close my eyes as I feel myself disconnect from this place.

...

..

.

I open my eyes again.

I see an unknown white ceiling.

So I wake up hearing what seems to be the door opening.

Then I turned my head towards the door.

There was a person who was dating.

"Sakura?"

Then Sakura who was about to leave is startled.

She turns to face me.

Then a silent environment is formed since I and she do not say anything.

"What do I do here?"

...
