After finishing the jutsu, Haori's hands began to form hand seals rapidly. Then, Naruto felt a slight stinging sensation in his abdomen. A prick? Or a burn? It wasn't that serious, but it was definitely that feeling.
As Haori's movements stopped, the "sizzling" sound also stopped. The seal had been imprinted on Naruto's abdomen.
The Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique had become the Twelve Trigrams Sealing Technique.
From then on, Naruto had the most complex tattoo in the ninja world. His abdomen now looked like a strange, cult altar, with circle after circle.
Fortunately, the pattern of this sealing jutsu was normally invisible. After Haori finished the seal, the jutsu immediately disappeared.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Haori's actions weren't as simple as adding a new circle of Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique. In reality, the new seal had already caused some damage to the Fourth Hokage's Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique. Simply put, the key that the Fourth Hokage had specially left behind to unlock the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique was now invalid. Unless Haori's unsealing technique was used with the key, the Nine-Tails couldn't be released. Otherwise, the key alone couldn't do it. It was also impossible to obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Naruto, who was a bit thick-headed, didn't realize that his body had undergone a fundamental change. He was thinking:
1. What are these two trying to do?
2. Hurry up and let me go! No one's coming to save him?
3. It's a little cold to be half-naked, you know.
"How is it now? Can you still sense it?"
Haori had no idea what Naruto was thinking. He was concerned about the result of the seal, so he asked Mirai again.
If he had to test whether the seal was successful himself, it wasn't impossible. But it wasn't as convenient as Mirai's ability.
Seeming to realize that this was an important issue, Mirai closed her eyes and sensed carefully for five minutes before reopening them. Then, she said, "I can't sense anything."
Haori said that Mirai was his clone. In a way, that wasn't wrong. Most of the time, she acted like a five-year-old child. But at other times, the attitude and focus she displayed were definitely not in the realm of "child."
More importantly, she could tell when something was important.
This was very similar to Haori. He was prone to self-destruction but never did anything wrong.
It was hard to say whether educating this child was right or wrong, but since Mirai was under his care, he would naturally take care of her in his own way.
"This is good news. It means the jutsu worked." Haori rubbed Mirai's head, signaling that she didn't need to worry.
"The first thing is done. Now, it's time for the second thing."
As he spoke, Haori stood up and stepped back a few steps. The second thing would require his "eyes."
In the records of the Shikkotsu Forest scrolls, Haori had found something that he was very concerned about. So, he had something else to get rid of.
Mirai consciously left Haori's side.
Then, Haori stared at Naruto, standing motionless.
This made little Naruto a little nervous. Being stared at by such emotionless eyes… he was only five years old after all.
Then, five minutes later, he realized he was wrong. That was such a happy state. Now, he knew what true nervousness was.
The person's eyes changed. But those more dazzling eyes made him think of only one word…
Death.
This wasn't an exception. Everyone who was stared at by these eyes felt uncomfortable.
Haori's initial condition for awakening the Death God's Eye was "near death." But for a long time, he couldn't find a way to activate his eyes flexibly.
Maybe it was because of the different worldviews that caused differences in the way it was used… But since awakening was near death, using it might be similar.
So, Haori began to experiment in this area, and he succeeded.
He used electric shocks to paralyze his heart, using the stoppage of his heart to create a physiological sense of near death. He used electricity to promote blood flow to maintain his actual vitality. Then, his eyes could be used.
The consequence was that his body was a bit abnormal when he used them, and activating them was like constipation.
In short, when Naruto saw those eyes, he was truly terrified. He would rather be beaten up by the little sister just now. Or, he would rather be thrown from here.
Now, Haori could do the second thing. Under the eyes that could kill everything, anything that should be revealed would be revealed.
So, he could see the massive chakra that was clinging to Naruto's back.
According to legend, the Sage of Six Paths had two sons: Indra, who inherited the Sage's Eye, and Asura, who inherited the Sage's Body. But after the Sage of Six Paths died, the two of them began an endless struggle because of their different beliefs, until they also died.
But it wasn't over yet. After they died, their chakra didn't dissipate. Instead, it clung to later ninjas, continuing this struggle.
So, as the "protagonist," would Naruto have this thing?
He did.
Asura… that was probably what Haori saw in his eyes.
Haori reached behind him and slowly drew his sword. The friction between the blade and the scabbard made a sound that grated on the teeth.
Looking at this shiny thing, Naruto's eyes widened. Was he going to dissect a child? Are thieves this cruel now?
He hadn't peed himself yet. That was because he had already forgotten that he had the function to pee.
Naruto Uzumaki, was he going to die at the age of five?
Haori continued his movements, as if he hadn't seen Naruto's expression.
From Haori's point of view, this was something that made him extremely uncomfortable, uncomfortable beyond uncomfortable.
Dead is dead. Possession? Ha!
Resentment or intention?
Things from a thousand years ago, clinging on for dear life? The whole world, all of history, is your family's mess. Even the protagonist's life can't be that protagonist-y.
So, chakra possession?
So, Haori swung his sword.
You mmp, you have the guts to keep messing around for another thousand years.
As his blade swept past, the humanoid chakra instantly disintegrated, dissipated, and vanished into nothingness…
After that presence disappeared from his field of vision, Haori closed his eyes again, then sheathed his sword.
"Haori… how is it?" Mirai saw Haori finish his work and immediately ran over to ask.
She didn't know what Haori was doing. She had only seen him swing his sword in the air, but Mirai understood that Haori wouldn't harm Naruto.
"It's done for now. I'll check again in a while." Haori said.
Who knows if this thing would be endless like the Tailed Beasts.
"Mirai, we should go back." Everything they needed to do was done. They should go back. Didn't they see that the "stranger" who suddenly appeared had scared the child to tears?
"…Wait!"
Mirai looked like she had something else to do.
She thought for a moment, then took off her scarf and put it around Naruto's neck.
From the perspective of performance art or personal styling, was this called a naked scarf?
Mirai touched the hair clip that had been pinned to her collar, then said to Naruto, "This scarf is yours. It's my most important treasure. It'll be your most important treasure too…"
"So, take good care of it. Don't get it dirty. Don't break it. Don't tear it."
As she spoke, Mirai wrapped the scarf around Naruto's neck, circle by circle.
Naruto could move now, but for some reason, he let Mirai do what she wanted.
He could read the emotions in her eyes, but he couldn't say them out loud.
Sadness? Sad but not painful?
Naruto remembered something at this time. He would occasionally receive things from outside villages in the past year, but he never knew who gave them to him…
"My name is Uzumaki Mirai. Remember that."
Her movements were slow, but she finished what she had to do quickly. So, with a smile, Mirai followed Haori and left.
Hey, you know what?
The speed of putting on a scarf while naked is five centimeters per second.
