Effect Of Entry

Under the power of the system, Yuma once again obtained a red entry!

When Yuma looked at the panel, he saw the third red entry he had acquired since arriving in this world.

His eyes widened in shock!

[Celestial Salvation (Red)]: This is the power of salvation, manifested through the Eight Thousand Spears of Okuninushi. Those saved by this power will become believers of the entry's owner.

Effect:

The holder's chakra gains the power of salvation. When touched by the holder's chakra, individuals will begin to reject their own sense of self. If their willpower is weak, they will be completely brainwashed and become the holder's followers.

The body and spirit of those "saved" will be left defenseless, allowing the holder to "taste and absorb" them at will.

The effects of this entry truly surprised Yuma.

If he was interpreting it correctly, this meant that once he activated this entry, anyone who came into contact with his chakra and lacked strong willpower would be converted into his follower!

And as for the second effect—what exactly did "tasting and absorbing" mean? Wasn't that essentially devouring them entirely?

Combining both effects, wouldn't this be the true power of the Eight Thousand Spears?

No... that wasn't quite right.

If it were exactly the same as the Eight Thousand Spears, the system would have labeled it as such. Just like when he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, the system directly categorized it as a special entry.

But this time, it wasn't labeled as Eight Thousand Spears, which must mean there was a distinction.

However, now wasn't the time to analyze the entry in detail. The more pressing matter was dealing with the girl standing before him.

As for testing whether this entry functioned exactly like the Eight Thousand Spears... he could always experiment on the prisoners in the Security Department's prison later.

After organizing his thoughts, Yuma nodded at the nervous girl in front of him and said,

"Uchiha, relax… There's no need to be nervous. What I'm about to tell you may come as a shock, so I hope you're mentally prepared."

"Mentally prepared?" The girl tilted her head, confusion evident on her face.

Now that she had been unsealed, wasn't the next step to resume the battle against the Senju and Sarutobi clans?

Why would she need mental preparation for that?

However, as the handsome Uchiha before her continued speaking, revealing more and more information, she quickly realized how naive she had been just moments ago.

She really did need to brace herself!

At that moment, her eyes widened in sheer disbelief as she processed what she had just heard.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice filled with shock:

"You're not lying to me, are you? I was sealed for hundreds of years? Uchiha and Senju joined forces to build a village? And they let a weakling from the Sarutobi clan become the village leader?!"

This revelation shook her to the core.

In her time, Uchiha and Senju were bitter enemies, locked in a bloody feud that had lasted for centuries.

Logically, there was no way they could have formed an alliance!

And even if they had, there was no reason for a Sarutobi to lead them!

At the very least, the leader should have been someone from the Uchiha or Senju—a powerful ninja clan!

Sensing her disbelief, Yuma remained calm and explained,

"The ninja village system is entirely different from the old clan-based system. In a village made up of multiple ninja clans, strength is important, but even more crucial is earning the recognition of the majority."

That was the only explanation he gave.

After all, the girl in front of him had lived through the Warring States Period. Compared to the ninjas of the modern era, her understanding of politics and governance was severely lacking.

There was no need to explain everything in detail.

At that moment, Tsunade—who had been silently observing—raised an eyebrow and spoke up:

"Alright, now that she's been unsealed, let's go back. No point wasting time here."

To be honest, Tsunade was slightly disappointed.

She had initially assumed that any Uchiha sealed away by their own clan must have been dangerous or problematic, which was why she had come along to witness the unsealing.

However, after observing for half a day, she realized that the girl in question—Uchiha Hikaru—while possibly strong, was still just a regular girl in terms of personality.

Upon making that judgment, Tsunade quickly lost interest and urged Yuma to return to Konoha.

She was far more interested in visiting the casinos back home.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Hikaru finally turned her attention away from Yuma and towards the blonde woman.

The moment she saw her, her expression darkened.

Damn! How could someone be so... well-endowed?!

"Huh? Little girl, how did you instantly know I was from the Senju clan?" Tsunade asked, folding her arms with interest.

"Hmph! I've absorbed plenty of Senju chakra using my Eight Thousand Spears..." Hikaru frowned at the overwhelmingly strong woman before her. "Because of that, I've become extremely familiar with Senju chakra. I could recognize you in an instant—you're Senju of the Forest."

"Eight Thousand Spears? What's that?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have nothing to say to a Senju!"

Her outright hostility made Tsunade frown in annoyance.

Just as she was about to retort, Yuma sighed, understanding exactly why this was happening.

It was only natural.

Hikaru had been sealed away by the Senju, and thanks to the time-stopping effect of the seal, to her, it had only been seconds since she was battling against Senju and Sarutobi.

The fact that she hadn't attacked Tsunade on sight showed remarkable self-restraint.

Realizing this, Yuma stepped between them, cutting off the increasingly tense exchange.

With a helpless smile, he sighed:

"Come on, give me some face, will you? Let's just head back to the village quietly."

Reluctantly, both Tsunade and Hikaru suppressed their tempers and huffed, turning away with cold snorts.

Seeing this, Yuma finally relaxed.

At least, for now, things wouldn't escalate.

He was certain that once they returned to Konoha, Uchiha Hikaru would eventually be drawn in by the peaceful atmosphere—so different from the constant warfare of her era.

In time, she would let down her guard.

Everything proceeded smoothly, without any major disturbances.

With their ninja speed, the group reached Konoha Village after a day's journey.

By coincidence, they arrived just after sunset—when the village was aglow with bright, welcoming lights.
