As the Ryumyaku reentered the gourd artifact, calm was instantly restored within the barrier. The turbulent changes and apocalyptic scene from moments ago seemed to have been nothing more than an illusion.
Karin's anxious heart finally settled.
The earth-shaking upheaval and helpless confusion from before had all swiftly subsided with Hyuga Kagami's return. To her, as long as Hyuga Kagami was still here, nothing was a problem.
Hyuga Kagami walked over to the gourd artifact, picked it up from the ground, and casually restored the seal on it.
His death this time had also dissolved his contract with the Ryumyaku. From the moment of his death onward, he was no longer the Ryumyaku's Jinchuriki.
Fortunately, he had gotten along fairly well with the Ryumyaku, so it had not gone berserk after breaking free. Otherwise, Karin alone might not have been able to clean up this mess.
After tying the gourd artifact to his waist, Hyuga Kagami did not rush to deal with the Ryumyaku.
He could restore his contract with the Ryumyaku whenever he wished, but at his current level of strength, whether he signed a contract or not did not really matter.
Even without a contract, he could still freely draw upon the Ryumyaku's chakra.
What truly limited his use of the Ryumyaku's chakra was not an external factor like a contract, but the highly concentrated natural energy contained within that chakra.
From the Ryumyaku that had just broken free, he could clearly tell that it still possessed an enormous amount of chakra. This showed that his utilization of the Ryumyaku's chakra during the ritual had been very inefficient, and there was still tremendous room for further development.
Hyuga Kagami then came before his own corpse.
"Tsk, tsk, what a miserable sight!"
