Ishichikahime

Sabaody Archipelago, Area 16, Marine Base.

Hum, a black hole suddenly appeared in Senga's office, and a man and a woman walked out – it was Senga and Kalifa.

Stepping out of the black hole, Senga stumbled, startling Kalifa beside him. She quickly steadied him and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Senga's face was a little pale, but he still smiled and said, "I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after a short rest. Besides, with my secretary's concern, I'm already much better."

Kalifa gently patted Senga's shoulder and said with a playful scold, "You're still joking in this state? Go rest quickly."

After speaking, she helped Senga to his seat, then turned to pour him a cup of hot tea. She blew on it a few times, and feeling the warmth of the tea slightly lessen in her hand, she carefully brought the cup to Senga's lips, gesturing for him to drink some hot tea.

Senga obediently took a few sips. Seeing this, Kalifa felt a surge of tenderness. She walked behind his chair and began to massage his muscles, wanting to help him relax.

Closing his eyes and enjoying the massage from Kalifa's slender hands, Senga suddenly spoke after a while, "Alright, you still have work to do, don't you? News of my fight with Rayleigh will spread soon. It wouldn't be good for you if your work falls behind."

Her hands paused slightly. Kalifa slowly replied, "I'd rather take care of you first. You saved my life this time, didn't you?"

Senga held Kalifa's hands, turned his head, and said to her earnestly, "I'm fine now. Go do your work. Besides, letting the government know my current strength might not be a bad thing for me."

"But..."

"Listen to me."

"Alright..."

Kalifa no longer insisted and prepared to go to her work. As she reached the door, she looked back at Senga. Senga gave her a reassuring smile. She quickly turned her head, closed the door, and left.

After Kalifa left, Senga closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the three tomoe in his right Rinnegan enlarged and then returned to normal.

Senga's pale complexion instantly became rosy, and he was full of energy, showing no sign of his previous weakness.

The cause of this effect was the dojutsu from Senga's Mangekyo Sharingan period, named Ishichikahime.

Ishichikahime, the daughter of Ōyamatsumi in Japanese mythology, was a goddess symbolizing longevity and indestructibility. Senga's dojutsu, named after her, had the effect of instantly clearing all negative status effects on the body and restoring it to its optimal state. Its drawback was that it could only be used once a day.

Don't think this drawback is too great. Imagine if Aokiji had this technique. During his ten-day and ten-night battle with Akainu, wouldn't he have been able to use it ten times?

The battle wouldn't even have lasted ten days and ten nights. After all, Akainu's stamina wasn't infinite. He would have been defeated by Aokiji halfway through. Therefore, this ability was practically a cheat.

As the saying goes, Mangekyo Sharingan dojutsu are largely related to the user's intense mental desires at the time of awakening. The reason Senga awakened this dojutsu was because he felt extremely insecure in the Naruto World.

That's right. As a member of Konoha's Uchiha Clan, he was ostracized by Konoha's higher-ups, his eyes coveted by that old fox Danzo, and later faced the clan massacre by a certain filial son. No matter what, death seemed inevitable.

Familiar with the plot, Senga was constantly worried about his own life.

Finally, in a small-scale war, all the comrades he had spent his days with died. The intense mental stimulation caused him to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan and obtain this dojutsu named Ishichikahime.

It could be said that awakening the third tomoe was the foundation. When he returned to his office and felt the weakness in his body, it was the key. Together, these two factors reawakened this dojutsu, which was perfectly used to recover from the massive consumption of his battle with Rayleigh.

It's important to know that in this battle, besides several regular Almighty Pushes and Banshō Ten'in, Senga even used the more pupil-power-consuming Super Almighty Push and two Tengai Shinsei. The consumption was undeniably huge, especially since his body's age here was less than 18.

As for why he didn't use it immediately upon returning, well, this absolutely wasn't because he wanted to enjoy Kalifa's service a little longer, absolutely not.

Meanwhile, back in her room, Kalifa took out her Den Den Mushi again, preparing to report to Stussy.

It wasn't long before the Den Den Mushi was answered. For Stussy, Kalifa's Den Den Mushi call had a top priority.

"This is Stussy. Kalifa, do you have any more intelligence on Uchiha Senga to report?"

"Yes, just now, Uchiha Senga engaged in a battle with Silvers Rayleigh."

"Hmm... Nani?! Silvers Rayleigh? The right hand of the Pirate King?"

"Yes."

"Unbelievable! Such a figure was hiding there. It truly was the darkest place under the lamp. What was the result of the battle? Is Uchiha Senga still alive?"

Stussy was no longer young and knew the terror of Silvers Rayleigh more directly than Kalifa. She had even witnessed Rayleigh's battle firsthand during an operation.

The apocalyptic scene of warships being destroyed and the sea splitting with a wave of his hand still lingered in her mind. Now, Uchiha Senga had actually fought him. In her opinion, the outcome would not be good.

Sigh, he's still young, too impulsive. This Uchiha Senga has probably reached his limit, right?

Thinking this, Stussy couldn't help but shake her head with regret. Such a talented genius ending up in Sabaody, how unpredictable life is!

Hearing Stussy's implication that she thought Senga was dead? Kalifa felt an inexplicable discomfort, and her tone became somewhat stiff as she said, "Uchiha Senga is unharmed. He only suffered severe physical exhaustion and is resting in his office. Furthermore, Silvers Rayleigh did not gain much advantage in this battle; he was even injured!"

Not noticing Kalifa's suddenly somewhat disrespectful tone, Stussy's mind had gone blank from the news she had just received. After a long while, she slowly spoke into the Den Den Mushi, "Kalifa, do you take responsibility for what you just said?"

"I am willing to bear full responsibility!"

"Mm, you've been performing well recently. I will report it to my superiors. If there's nothing else, we can end this report for now."

"Yes."

Kalifa hung up the phone and sat in her chair, falling silent for a moment.

She hadn't been entirely diligent in this report. For instance, Senga had obtained a Gravity-Gravity Fruit, and she hadn't reported Senga's peculiar techniques during the fight to Stussy.

She knew it was best not to tell the World Government about these things too early. If you asked why, just consider it a small repayment for Senga saving her life? As for other reasons, only she herself knew.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Stussy hung up the phone and tried to calm the turbulent emotions churning within her.

After a while, slightly calmer, she took out another Den Den Mushi from a hidden cabinet. She patted her chest a few times, ensuring her emotions were completely settled, and dialed the Den Den Mushi.

Gulp, gulp. The Den Den Mushi connected, and an aged yet majestic voice sounded.

"What is it you wish to report?"

Stussy immediately replied respectfully, "Esteemed Gorosei sirs, Stussy has important intelligence to report to you, regarding Uchiha Senga and Silvers Rayleigh..."
