The Uses of Samadhi Fire

In the Land of Wind, deep in the windswept Gobi Desert, lie the ruins of the once glorious Ancient Kingdom of Roran.

Boom--!

A massive, deep blue pillar of Chakra light shot out from the ground, reaching straight into the sky and punching a large hole in the clouds.

However, the huge pillar of Chakra light disappeared the next second.

At this moment, in the underground cave of the Ruins of Loulan, Issei wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had consumed too much Chakra and Eye Power in his battle with Kashin Koji, and the Samadhi Fire directly depleted his Mental Power. Therefore, when he returned to the original world with Kashin Koji, he failed to control the barrier and Sorcery Array he had left behind, causing his Chakra to leak out.

Fortunately, the leaked Chakra was only momentary and was immediately brought under control by Issei.

"Let's go first." After reinforcing the barrier he had left behind, Issei carried Kashin Koji away from the underground ruins.

The Chakra contained within the Dragon Vein was too powerful, so even if someone discovered the Chakra beam from earlier and came to investigate, they dared not rashly tamper with the Dragon Vein Seal.

Moreover, there is Issei Sorcery Array left behind by Yu Cheng. If someone forcibly breaks through the Dragon Vein, this Sorcery Array will completely detonate the Chakra contained in the Dragon Vein. The power of that explosion is probably not something an ordinary person can withstand.

The main reason was that the matter concerning the Otsutsuki Clan was too shocking, so Issei left this contingency plan as a precaution.

Upon returning to the same world, Issei immediately communicated with his original soul avatar.

The Five Kage Summit brought about a tremendous change in the Shinobi World's landscape.

First, the Land of Whirlpools was rebuilt, and it retained the old system of integrated military and political administration.

All Great Nations expressed their support for this, and even the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who initially opposed it, agreed.

Because Shiraha used his Sharingan to dispel the Genjutsu on Yagura.

It would be hard for anyone to imagine that Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, would have its supreme leader Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure by Genjutsu.

Furthermore, according to Shiraha, Yagura was controlled for a considerable period of time, and it was not a recent Genjutsu.

This was something the ninjas of Kirigakure found even more difficult to accept.

Only then did they realize that the numerous unreasonable actions taken by Kirigakure in recent years could all have been due to someone manipulating the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, which led to these tragedies.

While the original Kirigakure also implemented a relatively strict ninja selection system, it was nowhere near as brutal as the one during the Fourth Mizukage's time.

Even the ninjas of Kirigakure suspected that their Third Mizukage was also controlled by Genjutsu.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many bloodline Ninja Clan to be slaughtered in the Land of Land of Water from the later years of the Third Mizukage's rule to the present day, when the Fourth Mizukage took office.

This resulted in Kirigakure, like Kirigakure, becoming the weakest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, with a significant gap in strength compared to Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure Konoha. Consequently, Kirigakure did not inexplicably launch a war against the Uzumaki Clan, ultimately leading to a crushing defeat.

The first suspect in Kirigakure was the Uchiha Clan of Konoha, because the Sharingan, also known as the Genjutsu eye, had a reputation in the Shinobi World that "anyone who sees it will flee."

The Mangekyō Sharingan is a legendary existence!

Of course, most of the Uchiha Clan members have now moved to the Land of Whirlpools, but Kirigakure only attacks Konoha.

The reason for this is not because Shiraha helped the Fourth Mizukage break the Genjutsu, but because the Land of Whirlpools is too strong now, and Kirigakure cannot afford to offend them.

Conversely, although Konoha is stronger than Kirigakure, it is too far away, and Konoha's ninjas are not good at naval warfare. Pointing the finger at Konoha might make the weak Third Hokage give up some benefits in order to clear his name.

As for seizing benefits from the Land of Whirlpools, Kirigakure would never dare to do so.

Thus, the Five Kage Summit ended in an unexpected way.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, died of a serious illness shortly after returning to Kirigakure.

This fact was not kept secret because Kirigakure sought medical help from Shiraha.

At this time, on the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire, on the Land of Whirlpools Peninsula, the center of the Uzumaki Clan grounds had doubled in size after six months of expansion, and the adjacent Uchiha Compound was no less impressive.

The Uzushiogakure is now filled with the new atmosphere of the Six Great Ninja Villages. Kushina is now the true queen of the Land of Whirlpools and the shadow of Uzushiogakure.

In response, Kushina once complained that the title ' Tsuchikage ' didn't sound very good.

"The Otsutsuki Clan?! The Divine Tree is the source of the Rinnegan! Cloning Technology? The Kara! Unbelievable!" Shiraha, who was in the underground laboratory, stopped his experiment after receiving the memories of the personified "Uchiha Issei," and his heart was filled with turmoil for a long time.

"So, it seems that the place I visited in my dream when I was promoted might be the birthplace of the Otsutsuki Clan?"

Shiraha pondered to himself, constantly sorting through the memories he had obtained from Issei.

"The clones have reached this level of power, Kashin Koji."

This trip to another world has brought Shiraha tremendous gains, far exceeding his expectations.

Parallel World —things recorded in ancient texts—actually exist.

Most importantly, they encountered strong individuals like the adult Naruto and the adult Sasuke, who were relatively easy to talk to.

The two sides shared a common enemy, making them a perfect match.

After figuring all this out, Shiraha felt it was necessary to adjust his future plans.

Having gained the advantage of 'plot foresight', the direction forward became much clearer, and the previously mysterious Sage of Six Paths became less intimidating.

Thinking of this, Shiraha did not immediately digest the large amount of memories he had obtained from the soul clone, but instead left the underground laboratory first.

He stayed here all this time, leaving the matter of rebuilding the country to Kushina and Chiho, acting as a hands-off manager.

When Shiraha arrived at the center of the village, the rebuilt Tsuchikage Building was much more luxurious than before. It was entirely made of wood. Shiraha's current level of Wood Release was probably much stronger than that of Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, and only slightly weaker than "Kodama" who had learned the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Art.

However, it's more than enough to build a house.

"Lord Shiraha."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Tsuchikage Building, the ninjas on guard all bowed respectfully to Shiraha.

"Thank you for your hard work." Shiraha smiled and nodded, then walked over.

He arrived on the third floor and had just stepped out of the stairwell outside Tsuchikage Office when he heard a commotion.

"Lord Kushina, you said you would give us a new arrangement last time. So much time has passed, have you made the arrangement yet?"

"We can't just stay in the village doing nothing forever, can we?!"

"When the Uchiha Clan joined the village, it was agreed that they would be treated equally. Why don't we feel equal when it comes to fulfilling our obligations?"

"Issei has been away from the village for so long, more than half a year now. Why hasn't he come back yet? Has he encountered some danger?"

"Lord Kushina, please give us a straight answer!"

Upon hearing this, Shiraha raised an eyebrow and walked towards the office.

"As I said, there are some things that Shiraha needs to explain to you. Issei accepted Shiraha's request and went to carry out a classified mission. Apart from Shiraha, no one knows where he went." Kushina's helpless voice rang out. Although these Uchiha Clan were emotional, they were expressing legitimate demands, which she definitely had to take seriously.

"Everyone, please calm down. The Land of Whirlpools has only just been rebuilt, and we still have many things to deal with. Kushina will definitely respond to everyone's requests. Now, I hope everyone can calm down first."

Kushina finished speaking, Chiho came to her rescue, trying to persuade the clansmen.

"Chiho, are you really the head of the Uchiha Clan? What we need is a problem-solving attitude, not unreasonable arguments. Why aren't you speaking up for the Uchiha?" The Uchiha Jōnin still very unconvinced.

At that moment, Shiraha's undisguised footsteps rang out.

The ninjas in the office all turned to look, and when they saw Shiraha, more than a dozen Uchiha Clan Jōnin respectfully.

"Lord Shiraha."

"Lord Shiraha, you've finally arrived."

"Please give us a clear answer today; we can't wait any longer."

Seeing Jōnin the Uchiha were very agitated, and having only heard the gist of what had happened, Shiraha waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, before looking at Kushina.

Kushina spread her hands, a look of bewilderment on her face.

Chiho gave an embarrassed smile.

Seeing this, Shiraha went to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Tell me one problem at a time, and I'll help you solve them."

Despite his calm expression and even tone, the Uchiha Jōnin an invisible pressure.

However, being Uchiha, they spoke without hesitation. Immediately, a Jonin Jōnin forward and said, "The Land of Whirlpools has just been rebuilt, and there are clearly many things that can be done in the village."

We also wanted to help rebuild the village, but they wouldn't let us get involved at all.

The village has very few missions to assign, and they mostly cater to Genin (lower-ranking ninja), leaving us Jōnin with absolutely nothing to do.

Upon hearing this, Shiraha nodded and said, "Our future development direction in the Land of Whirlpools is commerce and industry. Therefore, in terms of mission commissions, we will not compete with the other Five Great Shinobi Villages for mission commission quotas. This was agreed upon at the Five Kage Summit and is a major policy for the country's future development, so it will not be easily changed."

"As for the reconstruction of the country, there are many things that require your help but you cannot get involved in." Shiraha looked at Kushina with a questioning gaze.

"The rest are just miscellaneous tasks, which I basically handed over to the Uzumaki clansmen who are already good at these kinds of jobs. After all, the Uchiha aren't good at things like building houses, planning roads, and allocating shops. That's what I considered," Kushina explained.

"Then why don't we help with maintaining order in the village anymore? Back in Konoha, the Uchiha Clan controlled the Military Police Force and had the important responsibility of maintaining Konoha. Now that we don't have to do that anymore, how is this any different from when we were in Konoha?"

Another Uchiha Jonin asked, "It's not that they like to act as 'city management officers' to maintain order, but rather that they don't participate in the daily operations of the village. Naturally, they are easily kicked out of the political center and gradually marginalized, just like they were in Konoha."

"Yeah, how do you explain this?" Shiraha looked at Kushina and questioned her, seemingly not intending to speak up for her at all, but rather appearing to be on the side of the Uchiha Clan.

"?" Kushina paused for a moment, Shiraha eyes seeming to say, "Think carefully before you speak, watch your tone." However, after noticing that the emotions of the Jōnin Uchiha Clan had clearly calmed down, she understood and explained:

"Since the main development direction in the future is commerce and industry, the village will naturally focus on commercial development."

Therefore, maintaining public order mainly involves maintaining order among ordinary people, and at most, only a few Genin are needed to maintain public order.

Besides, aren't there Uchiha Clan Genin in the village's security force? I didn't discriminate against them."

"Those Genin are just clansmen who haven't awakened their Sharingan yet, there are only a few of them, so why won't they let us join the security management team?" The Uchiha still Jōnin somewhat unconvinced.

Kushina said somewhat helplessly, "It's not that I don't want you to join the security management team, but you are all Jōnin. It would be a waste of your talents to let you do this kind of work that ordinary people can do."

Besides, we're all from the same village. Most of the time, we're dealing with minor disputes. What's the point of having you Jōnin handle them? It would also damage the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the villagers. There's no need to do that.

Furthermore, very few Uchiha Clan Genin joined the security management team because many of them were unwilling to join, feeling that handling interpersonal relationships was not their forte. Therefore, only a few Kunoichi joined.

"Is that really true? Is it that the younger generation doesn't want to join?" The Uchiha Jōnin at each other, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.

Shiraha quickly realized what was going on and asked, "You didn't exclude those ignorant clansmen during the clan meeting without consulting them, did you?"

They're all from the same Ninja Clan and village, so why do they have to open their Sharingan to participate in decision-making? Besides, many times, things don't need to be handled with force.

During Konoha time in Konoha, the Uchiha Clan incurred the wrath of the villagers and were ostracized because they controlled the Military Police Force, were too strong in combat, and were not good at getting along with people.

Kushina stopped you from doing similar work because she followed my advice.

"This was an oversight on my part as the clan leader," Chiho said, taking the initiative to admit her mistake.

"This isn't Chiho's fault; it's just that we subconsciously forgot to consult with our subordinates and made assumptions," the Uchiha Jonin somewhat embarrassedly.

"In case the village encounters any special circumstances, they'll surely need us Jōnin, right?"

"Yes, the Genin maintain order among ordinary people, but if the village encounters an emergency, the ninjas also need to react quickly, right?"

"We Uchiha are indeed treated much better than we are in Konoha, but we do nothing, making it seem like we are useless."

Another Uchiha Jonin offered a different opinion.

"Actually, the village is planning to establish a Rapid Response Force, similar to the Jonin Squad Konoha, which will be directly under my Jonin Squad. However, I was planning to choose the squad leader from Chiho, Shisui, Issei, and the village's Jōnin, but Shisui and Issei are both away on missions, and Chiho is unwilling to serve as the Jonin Squad Leader. So I have to wait until Shisui and Issei finish their missions before making a choice."

Kushina continued.

The Uchiha Jōnin wide-eyed, seemingly unable to understand why Chiho would refuse such a good opportunity—a position similar to that of Jonin Squad Leader Konoha, which was a ticket to enter the political center and participate in important high-level decisions.

"It was indeed my own refusal," Chiho nodded. She only wanted to be Kushina's assistant. If she were to become the Jonin Squad Leader, she would have to be stationed at the Jonin Squad. Although she would be able to have frequent contact with Kushina, she wouldn't be able to accompany Kushina almost all the time to handle official business, as she is now.

Because Shiraha's attitude seems clear, but he is very considerate of Kushina's feelings.

Therefore, if Chiho wants to become Shiraha's wife, she must gain Kushina's approval in order to maintain family harmony.

Spending every day with Kushina is undoubtedly the best way to improve their relationship. In the past six months Chiho and Kushina have been inseparable.

Chiho didn't care at all about being Jonin Squad Leader or political power.

Moreover, once she becomes Shiraha's wife, they will truly be a family.

These Uchiha have a narrow- Jōnin perspective!

"You're unwilling to enjoy the benefits without fulfilling the obligations?" Shiraha was also stunned. After the Uchiha Clan joined the Land of Whirlpools, he treated them all equally without any discrimination.

Now that the Uchiha are being given preferential treatment for free, without having to fulfill some troublesome obligations, they're actually unhappy about it, looking as if they've been insulted.

Ah... this.

"Kushina, this is indeed your problem! You didn't think it through!" Shiraha noticed the expressions of the Uchiha Jonin and immediately added.

"Huh?!" Kushina was stunned for a moment, then glared at Shiraha: "You're so thoughtful, why did you just hide in the lab and not come out?!"

Seeing that Kushina was about to lose her temper, Shiraha immediately looked Jōnin the Uchiha and said, "The Land of Whirlpools has just been rebuilt, and there are still many important missions that you need to carry out for a long time."

Because of our economic and industrial development, as well as the problems with our military-political system, we will inevitably face suppression from external forces as the Land of Whirlpools grows stronger.

Countries like the Land of Snow, the Demon Country, the Bird Country, the Swamp Country, and the Bear Country all require strong individuals to be stationed there long-term to ensure the stable development of commerce and prevent spies from other villages from stealing trade secrets.

These important long-term tasks all require the Uchiha Clan to carry out, but I've been busy with experiments lately and haven't had time to delegate them.

The Uchiha Jonin were able to accept Shiraha's patient explanation. After all, what they cared about was having something to do, even if it meant carrying out dangerous missions. As long as the Uchiha could fully integrate into the village and receive fair and just treatment in the future, they had no other demands.

High rewards in the short term cannot last without corresponding costs, which is the root of the Uchiha 'Jōnin worries.

"Any more questions?" Shiraha continued.

"Some people say that the reason you, Issei, haven't appeared for so long is because there was a problem in the experiment, not because you went out to carry out a mission."

One of the Uchiha Jonin spoke hesitantly, after all, it was just a baseless guess without any evidence.

However, Issei disappeared not long after the Uchiha joined the Uzumaki Clan, which made it impossible for them not to think about it.

After all, in order to conduct Cell Experiment, Bai Shiraha did extract cells from the Uchiha Clan ninjas when the Uchiha joined the Uzumaki Clan.

Issei, who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, is naturally a key target as well. It seems that they would have no way to resist if Shiraha were to plot against them, although the possibility is extremely small.

"Don't worry about that. I've sent Issei out on a top-secret mission. I can't reveal the details of the mission for now, but he should be able to return to the village by this time tomorrow."

Shiraha smiled.

"You'll be back tomorrow?" Upon hearing this, the Uchiha Jōnin a sigh of relief, because Shiraha had no reason to deceive them.

Thinking of this, the Uchiha Jōnin ninety degrees to Kushina and Shiraha and said, "We're sorry, please forgive our impulsiveness."

"I quite like your straightforward personality." Shiraha waved his hand. "I just hope you can be more patient in the future, since many business-related tasks require good communication with the client."

Kushina said, "It's best if you can understand. As for being angry, I'm not angry, otherwise I would have already knocked you all away."

"Yes!"

The Uchiha Jōnin said in unison, "Anyway, we just need to see how things go from here on out."

"Instead of being busy participating in the village's political decisions, I think you should be more concerned about improving yourselves." The Uchiha Jōnin Shiraha changed the subject and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about the Cell Experiment at all. Issei was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, partly due to Great Breakthrough in Cell Experiment."

My collaboration with him began at the end of the Third Shinobi World War. So your worries are completely unnecessary.

If the experiments continue to make breakthroughs, even if I don't want you to participate, I'm afraid you might not be able to resist the temptation of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Cloning Technology obtained from another world greatly interested Shiraha. He still needed to conduct related experiments. At the beginning, when collecting cells from Uchiha ninjas, they were not resistant, but they were certainly not enthusiastic either.

Therefore, Shiraha decided to release a bombshell announcement: they themselves actively and proactively cooperated with the experiment.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?"

"Inside the Naka Shrine, there is a stone tablet passed down through generations of families. The inscription on it states that the Mangekyō Sharingan can only be awakened after losing a loved one!"

"Issei's Mangekyō Sharingan was actually awakened through Cell Experiment?"

Is there really such a way to open one's eyes?

The dozen or so Jōnin from the Uchiha Clan present were all stunned; half of them had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Back in Konoha, when they attended clan meetings, they read the inscriptions on the family stone tablets beneath the Naka Shrine, which included the method for Mangekyō Sharingan.

This method is difficult for many of them to accept; the pain of losing a loved one is terrifying just to imagine.

In particular, this method does not guarantee that one's eyes will be opened, so although they know about it, no one is willing to try it.

The pain they endured just to awaken the Single Tomoe, Double Tomoe, or Three-Tomoe Sharingan was already unimaginable, let alone experiencing that pain again.

The reason many of them opened their eyes was because they had lost relatives and friends in the war.

The Uchiha Clan understands and cherishes love better than anyone else, so few who have awakened their Sharingan are willing to experience the pain of losing love again.

However, the yearning for the powerful Mangekyō Sharingan is a genuine inner thought that every Uchiha cannot avoid.

Now that Shiraha has offered them a completely new way to open their eyes, who could resist such temptation?!

"I'll explain everything slowly when Issei returns to the village tomorrow. Even if someone can awaken their Sharingan through Cell Experiment, there are very few ninjas with that potential. You need to understand that. Now you can go back first."

Shiraha kept them in suspense, watching the Uchiha Jonin with wide eyes, looking like they wanted to say something but couldn't, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

After Jōnin Uchiha left, Shiraha said with a relaxed expression, "Alright, things are done, I can go now."

"Wait a minute. Now that you're here, don't even think about slacking off. You and Chiho can handle the rest of the documents. I'm going to check if Taichi and Hikari have been slacking off during their training."

Kushina grabbed Shiraha, who was trying to slack off, gave him a meaningful look, and then quickly left the office under some pretext.

Seeing this, Shiraha went behind the desk and sat down.

Chiho blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Shiraha with curiosity.

"Ask whatever you want," Shiraha said with a smile.

"Can you really awaken the Uchiha clan members' eyes through Cell Experiment?" Chiho asked.

"Not only that, I can also give you the opportunity to unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Shiraha said with a mysterious expression.

Chiho's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Of course, I never lie to you." Shiraha nodded and said, "The method is..."

His voice grew softer and softer.

Chiho instinctively leaned closer. "Ah~!"

Shiraha pulled Chiho into his arms.

"What are you doing? Ugh~" Chiho cried out in surprise as her mouth was covered.

the next day.

Issei's return to the clan's territory completely dispelled the Uchiha Clan's doubts.

At this moment, Shiraha woke up the unconscious Kashin Koji in the underground laboratory.

Looking at Shiraha before him and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him, Kashin Koji asked in a deep voice, "Where is this?"

"If you choose to cooperate, then there's no need for us to continue talking," Shiraha said.

"How should we cooperate?" Kashin Koji replied, appearing very calm.

Shiraha channeled his Magic Power, retrieved a glass Syringe, drew a vial of blood from a vein in his arm, and approached Kashin Koji, saying:

"Don't resist, or you will die a terrible death and you will have no way to obtain the power in your blood."

"You can only choose to serve one of me, Jigen or me. The current situation is that you can only choose to serve me, or choose death."

"You want to deal with Jigen?!" Kashin Koji's expression changed slightly.

Shiraha: "Obviously, now it's your turn to choose."

A ninja like Kashin Koji, who possesses Peak Kage Level strength, is still worth recruiting for Shiraha.

However, if a ninja of this strength were to forcibly resist Shiraha, he would not be able to truly absorb the power in Bai Yu's blood, and would be defeated by Shiraha's consciousness in the process of resisting, becoming a living dead.

That's why Shiraha gave him a choice.

"I will help you deal with Jigen." Kashin Koji did not hesitate at all, because when Amado him, it was to deal with Jigen. Now he had no chance to resist, and his goal was the same as Shiraha's. Death was not a good choice.

"I like smart people." Shiraha nodded with a smile and inserted a needle into the vein in Kashin Koji's forearm.

As Shiraha's blood flowed into Kashin Koji's body, his entire body began to convulse rapidly.

About ten minutes later, Kashin Koji regained his composure, and his Chakra aura increased by nearly a third.

The reason Shiraha went to such great lengths was not only because he valued Kashin Koji's strength, but more importantly because of the ' Samadhi Fire ' that Guoxin Jushi summoned.

By transforming into a soul clone within "Uchiha Issei," Shiraha discovered that although his Mental Power was somewhat depleted after being burned by the Samadhi Fire, it became more refined, and this kind of soul perception was infallible.

If the Samadhi Fire also has an effect on Shiraha's physical body, he can even use the Samadhi Fire to shorten the process of materializing his Mental Power, which would greatly shorten the time to advance to the Third Level, and might even help him advance to the Fourth-Level.

The key issue is whether the quantity and quality of the Samadhi Fire meet Shiraha's requirements.

Shiraha removed the seal from Kashin Koji's body.

Kashin Koji sensed the powerful energy within his soul and the close connection with Shiraha, and understood what had happened. He asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to summon the Samadhi Fire. Come with me."

Shiraha led Kashin Koji to the next room, which was the location he used for his breakthrough, and it was equipped with multiple Defensive Wizardry Array.

"Here?" Kashin Koji was taken aback. "The Samadhi Fire can burn everything, are you sure? Even I can't control this inextinguishable flame."

"Of course," Shiraha said confidently, knowing the situation through Issei's memories.

"I see."

Kashin Koji nodded and then activated his Summoning Technique.

Boom!

A flame half a person's height appeared in front of Kashin Koji. Despite Shiraha's assurance, he still deliberately controlled the number of flames he summoned.

At this moment, Shiraha activated "Demonic Scales," and fine, silvery-white scales rapidly grew from his body.

Then, the "Crimson Dragon Calamity" was activated!

A crimson aura enveloped his entire body.

Shiraha walked directly into the Samadhi Fire, much to the astonishment of Kashin Koji.

Immediately afterwards, flames half the height of a person intertwined with the Crimson Airflow emanating from Shiraha's body. As time passed, these flames gradually faded, seemingly being completely absorbed by Shiraha.

The silvery-white scales on Shiraha's body also had a faint blush of red, and hot white breath was exhaled from the tip of his nose.

"How is it?" Kashin Koji asked subconsciously. Someone was actually able to resist the Samadhi Fire with their physical body and even devour it. This was the ultimate move he had prepared to use against Jigen.

"I feel great!" Shiraha grinned, his smile appearing slightly eerie beneath the silvery-white scales.

The Samadhi Fire really works!
