Uchiha Gaunt?

"But this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

"Even when sealed, it can continuously draw strength from all kinds of suffering in the world—sorrow, illness, hatred, and even death."

(Harry stroked his chin. "The Force of Sin, the Death Force? This level is almost on par with the Cosmic Knight.")

"And you've already sensed the terror of this monster, haven't you, Lance?"

Ron nodded, his face looking extremely grim.

Because as soon as he closed his eyes, a huge vertical eye appeared in his vision, its pupils gleaming with firelight.

Seeing it is as if one sees the very essence of all human suffering, including natural disasters, illness, poverty, hunger, filth, violence, killing, sorrow, death, and war.

He only knew information about this monster, but...

"The stronger the ninja, the clearer their perception will be after recognizing it," Yale Weasley continued. "This shouldn't affect you much, and since you're in the Land of Fire, what you'll see is probably just a tiny spark in the darkness."

What I saw was a whole eye!

Ron was speechless. "How do I get rid of this thing? It's making me dizzy."

("Legilimency, huh?" Ginny was a little amused by her brother's intelligence.)

"Take time to adjust," Yale said. "It's not Illusion Technique that can be broken by disrupting your own Chakra flow."

"As for Sealing Technique, it's not that serious yet."

"You have to overcome the influence and get used to falling asleep with it in your eyes."

"Obstruction?" Ron finally remembered the Legilimency, and that he was a wizard who had created a mental space and knew spell card magic.

A spiritual world built upon various culinary elements.

The sun, transformed from the Heart of White Magic, shines upon all things.

Ron soon discovered a Black Forest chocolate cake that emitted a faint black glow.

Then it is purified instantly.

Not a single second has passed in the real world.

"It's Sealing Technique." Yale thought Ron had misheard. "We Weasley are best at Sealing Technique."

"The Shadow Seal on your forehead is the culmination of Sealing Technique."

"We can store Chakra instead of refining Chakra for use as we used to."

"Ah, to use demonic ninjutsu, you have to refine Chakra first?" Ron asked in surprise.

"Of course," Yale said. "Chakra is forbidden knowledge that the great Merlin shared with our space pirate race, the Slytherin."

"Given our mortal bodies, we naturally need to withdraw money as soon as possible."

"The Chakra created by the combination of physical energy and mental energy produced by the 130 trillion cells in the body is unstable and will dissipate if left unattended."

("One hundred and thirty trillion?" Some wizards who understood biology were surprised. The number of human cells is around 40 trillion, which is almost three times that. Wouldn't that mean the entire Asgardian?)

"Unless one has superb Chakra control skills, it is possible to redistribute unused Chakra into physical or mental energy without damage."

"Otherwise, this would result in a huge waste."

"But things are different now. All the registered ninjas have the Shadow Seal implanted." At this point, Yale seemed to have thought of something. "Because of the existence of the Weasley Clan of the Land of Fire, only our Land of Fire ninjas can have it implanted on their foreheads, unlike ninjas from other countries who can only have it implanted in their hearts."

"What's the difference?" Ron asked.

"This proves that our technology is more advanced, and that we are so close to such a delicate organ as the brain," Yale said. "What we store is Chakra, which is easier to control. If you know medical ninjutsu, you can also keep your body in optimal function and stay young forever."

"Other major powers, on the other hand, focus more on physical skills and enhancing physical functions."

——

"We've finally arrived."

Magneto and his crew also arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

Magneto was a little impatient, "Can you tell me what that is now?"

"The dead," Harry said. "The gates to the Pure Land are closed. The dead linger in the mortal realm, becoming spirits, slowly losing their humanity over time, until only their fighting instincts remain."

"To become the minions of a world-destroying monster that wants to plunge this planet into darkness."

"Knowing the existence of the dead is equivalent to knowing the existence of world-destroying monsters, and then one will suffer from cognitive pollution."

"This kind of pollution can only be overcome by one's own mind."

Crackling sound.

A flash of electricity crackled across Magneto's skin.

He felt a cold magnetic field coiling around his body.

"Is this cognitive pollution?"

It's impossible to break through his force field.

"Yes." Harry nodded. "I'm not going to tell you any more details about monsters right now."

"The more you know, the more serious this cognitive pollution becomes."

(Harry frowned, a worry creeping into his eyes. "What about Ron?")

("Sealing Technique, I suppose," Ginny said. "Sealing Technique can counter cognitive contamination, and the Weasley Clan are masters of Sealing Technique. Hmm. That's strange, the Weasley Clan. Also, the Land of Fire seems to have large-scale shielding spells.")

(Oh, Susan just mentioned that.)

The Land of Lightning.

On the barren Dadi.

The dark-skinned, muscular man had his golden hair standing on end and was enveloped in electric light.

"We Cloud Ninja don't need any defensive barriers at all."

"We are not cowards like the Ninja Village of the Land of Fire."

"I, the Fourth Raikage Ay, am the barrier itself."

"Lightning Release: Chakra Mode!"

"Heavy Storm!"

The burly man charged into the horde of undead with black eyes and white hair, his body spinning like a top as he unleashed a series of elbow strikes.

A pause or break.

"Susan Stone. Forget Samui's words."

"Remember this, you are a Cloud Ninja."

"One of the future Four Guardian Shinobi."

He glanced at the horde of undead rushing toward the train and smiled disdainfully, revealing his bright white teeth.

"Of the last five strongholds left by humans, only we Cloud Ninjas never clean up the spirits of the dead in the wilderness outside the village."

"Every trip is a trial for the Cloud Ninja."

"There's no need to worry about casualties, because I'm at the forefront."

"Righteous Thunder, Sinking Wrath, Thunder Axe!"

Ai leaped high into the air, his lightning Chakra converging on his right leg, where a massive axe shadow, shimmering with lightning, could be vaguely seen.

Rumble!

The Dadi was split in two, and the spirits in front turned to dust.

"Wow, so fast!" Susan exclaimed in surprise.

If her body hadn't been enhanced by [Compound V], she probably wouldn't even have been able to see the Raikage.

The Raikage has returned to the train.

"Of the five remaining major strongholds of humanity— the Wind Country, the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Demons —our civilization is the most well-preserved due to cultural factors."

"We don't even need to change our names like some other countries do."

"The strongest one is still named after the first letter A."

"Inherit the name of the hero who used his body to shield the priestess of the Land of Demons from multiple fatal blows."

"As descendants of heroes, and in the country where heroes reside, we must become the strongest among the four great powers."

"What are the Four Guardian Shinobi?" Susan asked the crucial question.

"You don't know?" A glanced at Samui, then sighed. "That's right. You're a ninja trained in the so-called orthodox way. You're completely ignorant of common sense about corruption, in order to maintain the purity of your Chakra."

"The guardian of the Priestess of the Land of Demons, who completes the sealing that takes place every four years."

"This time, the selection competition for the guards will be held in Konoha Ninja Village of the Land of Fire."

"The Land of Demons is the only pure human settlement, where only priestesses possess the sacred Chakra known as spiritual power."

"Because the culprit that caused this world's apocalypse is sealed there, the monster referred to as You-Know-Who."

"The Chakra of ordinary ninjas is like refined food that is easier to consume after processing."

"If we stay in the Land of Demons, we will only have our Chakra drained and eventually become ghosts."

"For a long time, only the priestess who mastered the Chakra that it could not digest, and which was poison to it, could be the only person in that area who possessed Chakra."

"But we later discovered that the Chakra of ninjas who uphold their own ninja way and have a strong will is also the nemesis of that demon."

"But unlike priestesses, these ninjas, while their Chakra cannot be stolen, will be corrupted by the Chakra of the demons if they stay in the Land of Demons for too long, and will become undead while still alive, turning into Death Eater."

"At the same time, if there are too many such ninjas, it will awaken the demons that have been stunned by spiritual energy in the seal."

"After a century of testing, we have found that the number of Guardian Shinobi should not exceed four, and they should be replaced every four years."

"Furthermore, ninjas who have served as Guardian Shinobi cannot serve Guardian Shinobi again, even if they dispel the Ghost Qi in their Chakra."

"This kind of pollution is different from cognitive pollution. This kind of pollution is at the Chakra level. In the process of dispelling the Ghost Qi of one's own Chakra, it is also the process by which the demon automatically adapts to the ninja 'Chakra."

"So that means the monster is immune to the Chakra of the former Guardian Shinobi and can absorb it like it would an ordinary ninja?" Susan asked.

Ai nodded. "I also served as a ninja guard. To be precise, all qualified Jonin in our Land of Lightning have served as one."

He looked at Susan solemnly, "Besides you, Susan Stone, for the glory of the Cloud Ninja, you must become Four Guardian Shinobi."

"Yes." Susan nodded.

The Land of Earth.

Katy received the same earnest advice.

The little old man, the Second Tsuchikage Moody, who was suspended in mid-air, was rambling on, "Although you can't know that yet."

"But I think it's necessary for you to get to know your opponent."

He threw out a card.

"Harry Potter, the Potter family has always been skilled in Magnet Release, and he is known as Potter of the Sandstorm."

"It is suspected that he inherited Shukaku's Chakra."

Katy looked at him several times, but she didn't see any of the same elements in this red-haired person as the Harry Potter she knew (Harry in the Merlin Universe had his eyes turned blue by the energy of the Space Stone).

"Ron Weasley, the Weasley Clan are distant relatives of the Gryffindor family. He has red hair, possesses strong vitality, and is mostly long-lived with far more Chakra than ordinary people. They are all skilled in Sealing Technique."

("Blonde hair, blue eyes, this," Harry exclaimed incredulously, "Is this Ron?")

"Son of the Fourth Hokage Arthur Prewett".

(Arthur Weasley, "I have the same last name as Molly now?")

"He inherited not only his father's appearance but also his talent for space-time ninjutsu. His Flying Thunder God Technique is unpredictable, and he also inherited his mother's Kagura's Mind's Eye, which evolved into the instantaneous, hand seal-less ninjutsu Rasengan from the Rasengan Tailed Beast Bomb, which have been extinct, are extremely troublesome."

Katy nodded, silently memorizing the information about this stranger, Ron.

"Draco Gaunt".

(Draco Malfoy, "When did I get the surname Gaunt?! This isn't me at all!")

(Lucius Malfoy, "My son doesn't have black hair at all!")

"The last descendant of the Gaunt Clan."

"One-on-one, better to run away. That's Gaunt."

"They all possess a terrifying Bloodline Limit— the Sharingan."

"One of the descendants of the great Merlin."

"Even the initial stage of the One Tomoe has powerful insight, which can easily see through the enemy's offensive and replicate the enemy's physical techniques."

" With the Two Tomoe, the ability to perceive and cast Illusion Technique is further enhanced. It can also observe the flow of Chakra and thus replicate some ninjutsu."

" With the Three Tomoe, his perception has been further enhanced, possessing nanometer-level perception. He can even see the trajectory of lightning and can almost replicate any taijutsu or non- Bloodline Limit ninjutsu he sees."

"The Mangekyo enhances perception and hypnotic abilities, and according to the user's thoughts, it can also generate two abilities that are comparable to S-rank ninjutsu. Furthermore, it can materialize Chakra, transforming it into a giant Patronus that envelops the body, combining offense and defense."

"But there is a risk of blindness. Unless the level of Yang Release Chakra is high enough to create Sage Body."

("Li Lin." Harry immediately thought of him.)

(Although the Sharingan is far inferior to Li Lin's [Complete Formula Solver], it is still enough to learn any spell that has been demonstrated once at a glance.)

"The process of Sharingan is called 'opening the eye,' and it usually happens due to a huge emotional fluctuation."

"The activation method is not necessarily based on One Tomoe. One Tomoe advancement may lead to Three Tomoe upon awakening."

"Although Draco Gaunt has the infamy of wiping out his clan and opening the One Tomoe, it is very likely that the people of Konoha deliberately released him to lower our guard."

"His brother, Tom Gaunt, was the holder of the Mangekyo. After joining You-Know-Who as Death Eater, he single-handedly Carnage the entire Gaunt Clan."

(Voldemort: "Ah, I'm Draco Malfoy's brother?")

(Lucius Malfoy)

("I heard you're my dad?")

(Lucius Malfoy in Azkaban: "So what if you do? I don't believe you dare come to Azkaban!")

(@Cedric Diggory)

"There's one more thing you should pay attention to."

"Only the Gaunt Clan of Konoha was wiped out. There is still one member of the Gaunt Clan remaining."

"Voldemort Slytherin, who did not inherit the Sharingan but only the Parseltongue ability."

(Voldemort was originally prepared to swallow his anger because of Cedric, laughed, "Haha, I told you it wasn't me!")

"He was the most beloved disciple of the Third Hokage Albus Dumbledore."

(Voldemort's smile vanished instantly, his expression turning as if he'd swallowed a fly.)

"The legendary Three Ninjas - one of the three in the world of gambling, prostitution, and drugs: the Poison."
