Seal

"Don't move, or you might bleed a little."

Jiang Hao's voice was very close, reaching his ears.

"Your Blade Intent is impressive, but it's a pity you've learned too many different techniques; that's not good."

Uchiha Kei had no idea what he was talking about.

His mind is in complete chaos right now, utterly chaotic.

From Jiang Hao's appearance to now having a knife to his neck, all of this happened in less than a minute.

He couldn't understand why his past self would suddenly appear in the Dark Space.

He couldn't understand how Jiang Hao possessed such immense power!

Genjutsu?

If he's not currently trapped in Genjutsu, then how do you explain his current predicament?

But what kind of Genjutsu could be so imperceptible to someone with both the Rinnegan and Tenseigan?

"Don't overthink it, it's not Genjutsu."

Seemingly on the same page, Jiang Hao smiled and tapped his neck with the knife.

"Logically speaking, what you've encountered shouldn't be me, but a ferocious Shadow Leopard."

"But I couldn't wait any longer, so I came out to say hello first."

"By the way..."

Jiang Hao suddenly shut his mouth after saying this.

Uchiha Kei slightly, looking at Jiang Hao's familiar face.

Who exactly are you?

Jiang Hao picked up his Ninja Blade with a slight headache and took two steps back.

Does the answer to this question make sense?

"Have!"

Uchiha Kei gave a solemn answer.

Jiang Hao's expression froze, then he shook his head helplessly.

Knowing too much is of no benefit to you right now.

With that, Jiang Hao slung the Ninja Blade back over his shoulder.

"You'll find out later, and of course, I hope that day comes soon."

Jiang Hao shrugged, his expression utterly smug.

Uchiha Kei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Jiang Hao stopped him from speaking.

"Don't ask, just say you don't know. We need to do the most important thing now."

Uchiha Kei looked at him in confusion, "What?"

"That is..."

Jiang Hao smiled, a smile that was quite mysterious.

"I'll seal you away!"

Uchiha Kei was shocked and was about to back away when he felt Jiang Hao's face getting infinitely larger.

He then felt a sharp pain at the back of his head, his vision went black, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Looking at the unconscious Uchiha Kei, Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly, "Really, is your curiosity that strong?"

Then, Jiang Hao turned his gaze to the Prototype Seed, "Come here."

The Prototype Seed above Uchiha Kei cautiously circled for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, before obediently drifting down.

"You rich bastard, why are you so fat?"

Holding the Prototype Seed in his arms, Jiang Hao complained with a hint of disdain.

"Stay put for a while and wait until he has fully mastered that power, then you can come out and move around again."

Jiang Hao rubbed the Prototype Seed, then flipped his palm, and a strange rune immediately appeared in his hand.

The Prototype Seed initially resisted, struggling in his arms.

But soon, the runes disappeared into its body.

The Prototype Seed trembled violently, its body constantly shifting between nothingness and solidity.

In the end, the Prototype Seed's body froze in the void, transforming into a blur as it rushed towards the unconscious Uchiha Kei.

Everything settled down, and the surroundings became quiet again.

Jiang Hao crouched down, looking at Uchiha Kei.

After watching for a while, Jiang Hao stood up, and his body began to become ethereal.

"Let's go, looking forward to it..."

See you next time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao's figure disappeared into the Dark Space.

Uchiha Kei, who was still unconscious, also vanished from the spot the instant he disappeared.

The surroundings remained quiet.

It was as if nothing had happened.

When Uchiha Kei opened his eyes again, the surroundings were no longer dark, but lush and green.

Uchiha Kei struggled to his feet, the aches and pains in his body making him feel like he was in unbearable agony.

What he found most unbearable was the emptiness in his body.

It felt like I'd been gang-raped by a dozen burly women; my body felt empty and limp.

Uchiha Kei was startled and, disregarding his discomfort, quickly began to check himself.

A moment later.

Uchiha Kei's expression changed, becoming extremely ugly.

It wasn't that he had actually been harmed by the burly older woman, but rather that at this moment, his body felt completely empty!

The Chakra that was originally flowing like a great river has now vanished as if it had disappeared into thin air, leaving only wide and resilient meridians.

"A seal... is this the seal you speak of?"

Uchiha Kei muttered to himself, recalling what Jiang Hao had said before he lost consciousness.

"System, are you there?"

Left with no other option, Uchiha Kei had to start calling upon the system.

This thing is his livelihood; as long as it's there, nothing else matters.

"Exist."

Like an online chat, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

Uchiha Kei let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the system is still running, nothing else matters.

Am I sealed away?

Uchiha Kei asked himself.

The system was silent for a moment, but then gave him an answer, "Yes."

Is there any way to break the seal?

This time, the system remained silent for an even longer period. Just as Uchiha Kei was losing all patience, the system's voice finally arrived.

"No, the sealing power is stronger than the system itself, and the seal cannot be broken."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kei frowned deeply, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Even the system...

Is there really no other way?
