The Name Was Too Ordinary

A thread of Sage Chakra quickly began circulating through Karin's body.

"Can you feel it?" Senyo asked.

Karin immediately sensed a power distinct from ordinary Chakra.

"Yes, Master!" Karin was extremely excited.

One look at the items in their hands made it clear that they were from the Barrier Division.

"Senyo, we're
