Kushina worked quickly and skillfully.
Kushina's hands moved with precision, placing the paper in the exact spot, ensuring every symbol was aligned and connected perfectly.
Not a single movement of Kushina was wasted.
The ceiling of the room was also not spared from Kushina's Fuinjutsu.
The seals that Kushina placed there were connected to the main pattern on the floor, creating an effect like a giant trap that enclosed Reiji in the middle.
In the corner of the room, Karina watched with a confused and wary expression.
Karina did not fully understand what Kushina was doing, but her instincts told her that something big was about to happen.
Reiji remained standing in his place, a small smile on his face.
"Brother Reiji, are you sure you don't want to use a stronger defensive Fuinjutsu?"
"I don't want you to get hurt," Kushina said, her tone sounding teasing.
"Wow... now you're getting cocky, huh?" Reiji chuckled softly. "Just do it."
However, before Reiji could think further, Kushina quickly grabbed Karina's hand.
"Sister Karina, let's get away!" Kushina shouted.
Karina was startled, but she followed Kushina without asking too many questions.
They ran away from the center of the seal circle that had formed, even moving to the next room.
"Huh? Why are you leaving? Isn't—?"
But before Reiji could finish his sentence—
WUUUUUSHHH!!
The sealing papers surrounding Reiji suddenly began to glow.
Blue chakra pulsed from the surface, spreading quickly like interconnected electric currents.
The light continued to crawl, passing through the seal lines on the floor, spreading to the walls, and then rising to the ceiling.
In a matter of seconds, the entire room was filled with a pulsing blue light, creating an increasing air pressure.
Reiji finally realized what was happening.
"Hey! That girl really wants to kill us!" Yamata-no-Orochi's voice echoed in Reiji's mind, sounding more panicked than usual.
"Damn..." Reiji muttered softly.
Reiji squinted, beginning to consider his next move.
But it was all too late.
BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!
An explosion far more powerful than before shook the room.
The shockwave produced was much stronger, causing the floor to tremble violently.
Hot air spread in all directions, slamming against the walls with great force.
Flames and energy from the explosion spread, creating a rumbling sound that echoed throughout the place.
Fragments of the exploding seals flew everywhere, hitting everything around.
Karina, who had already moved quite far into the next room, could still feel the impact of the explosion.
The hot wind from the blast swept across Karina's face, forcing her to cover her face with her arm.
Karina's heart raced as she saw a massive cloud of black smoke rising high in the middle of the room, where Reiji had just stood.
"Oh my god..." Karina murmured, her eyes wide.
Kushina stood beside Karina with a confident smile.
Amidst the swirling smoke and falling debris, a big question arose in everyone's mind.
Was Reiji still alive?
...
...
...
As the smoke from the explosion began to fade, a moment of silence enveloped the basement.
Dust and stone debris floated in the air, creating a hazy view that obscured vision.
However, among the thin mist that slowly dissipated, something round began to become visible in the spot where Reiji had previously stood.
A large sphere that looked like a strangely shaped wall or perhaps a protective shell stood firm, although its surface began to show cracks.
Karina and Kushina held their breath, confusion evident on their faces.
But before either of them could react further, the cracks in the sphere widened until it finally shattered with a sharp cracking sound.
"Crreekss!"
From within, Reiji emerged, standing tall with a thin smile on his face.
