Jiang Hao, We Will Meet Again!

An hour later, at the residence of the general of the Iron Country.

"I am truly sorry, on behalf of the Iron Country, I express my sincerest apologies to Twilight Shadow."

Mifune, his face full of apology, bowed deeply to Uchiha Kei.

Uchiha Kei waved his hand, "Admiral Mifune, there's no need for that. It's just a misunderstanding."

Seeing that Uchiha Kei didn't seem to care at all, the people from the Iron Country breathed a sigh of relief.

Twilight Shadow...

The strongest Shinobi World today!

If he were to hold a grudge, the Iron Country would be finished without him even lifting a finger.

After exchanging pleasantries and waiting for Mifune and the others to leave, Uchiha Kei finally had time to talk to the others.

As Itachi recounted the story, Uchiha Kei's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The plow appeared ahead of schedule!

Logically, the "plow" should have appeared in Boruto, during Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's invasion of the Shinobi World.

There are still more than a decade until Boruto!

Moreover, there's a "nothing" that's never appeared before!

"Jing, are you alright?"

The use of Blade One had exhausted most of Uchiha Kei's strength, and even now, his face was still very pale.

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat worried.

That last strike was powerful, but surely it shouldn't have caused Jing to overexert himself?

Uchiha Kei snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "There was a small problem, but it's nothing serious."

That being said, Uchiha Kei was also somewhat uneasy.

Is Blade One strong?

Very strong!

However, given his current strength, he only has one chance to strike.

He fought against Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, but only had one chance to draw his sword...

The chances of defeating him are extremely slim.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with your health?"

Uchiha Izuna, who was standing to the side, felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard what he said.

With a teacher of such ability, who could possibly cause him to have health problems?

Uchiha Kei nodded.

Seal...

The crisis facing the Shinobi World now far surpasses the crisis depicted in the anime.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is playing with his cards face up.

The "plow" that can travel through time appeared ahead of schedule.

The unknown "nothingness" looms large.

Breaking the seal was now his most pressing matter.

"Who did this?"

Despite his surprise, Uchiha Izuna still showed anger on his face.

How dare they hurt a teacher! Absolutely unforgivable!

Uchiha Itachi also looked at Uchiha Kei.

The relationship between the two is not merely a matter of mutual benefit between two shadows.

More than anything, it's about brotherhood.

If he could, he'd be the kind of person who would take a knife for Uchiha Kei!

The familiar figure flashed through Uchiha Kei's mind, leaving him momentarily bewildered.

"It's... me?"

Uchiha Kei's muttering to himself began.

Upon hearing his whisper, Uchiha Izuna looked puzzled.

Yes...

The teacher himself?

What's the meaning?

Only Uchiha Itachi's brows furrowed tightly.

He also didn't understand what Jing meant.

But he had never seen that blank look on Jing before.

No matter the time or the crisis, he only ever saw confidence in Jing.

Full of confidence!

But now, Jing is confused, and...

There seemed to be a hint of fear in it!

What kind of being would terrify Jingdu?

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Itachi, Uchiha Izuna, Madara, there's something I need to ask you."

"Get rid of the jumbled thoughts in your head," said Uchiha Kei.

Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Itachi immediately listened attentively.

"My body was sealed, my Chakra couldn't circulate, I couldn't use Ninjutsu, and my physical functions were reduced to those of an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, both Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted sharply at the same time.

It's sealed!

The First Twilight Shadow of the Twilight Ninja Village — Uchiha Kei, the most powerful being in the Shinobi World at that time!

It's been sealed away!

Uchiha Izuna swallowed hard, his palms involuntarily sweating.

Uchiha Itachi also looked on in disbelief.

He considered many possibilities: Jing might have been injured after encountering a powerful enemy.

Or perhaps it's a kind of trial, a pursuit of new power.

But to everyone's surprise, Jing was actually sealed away!

"Then... then..."

Sweat began to bead on Uchiha Izuna's forehead, and he could barely speak.

"Don't be nervous, this is only temporary."

Uchiha Kei smiled reassuringly at the two, but inwardly he was also feeling uneasy.

He really had no idea what Jiang Hao's seal was.

Not to mention him, even the Shock System, which he relied on for survival, bluntly stated that the seal was superior to the system.

Right now, all he can hope for is the Sealing Jutsu in the Shinobi World, to see if he can use them as a breakthrough.

But this possibility...

It's not very big.

"Do you need us to collect various Sealing Jutsu for you?"

"Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice."

Uchiha Kei smiled and nodded. "Yes, this seal is rather peculiar. I need to refer to other Sealing Jutsu."

Hearing Jing say this, Uchiha Itachi's heart sank even further.

Really.

Is this seal something even Jing can't break?

Is drawing inspiration solely from other Sealing Jutsu?

Uchiha Izuna clearly understood this as well, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Alright, stop dawdling. Tobirama and Namikaze Minato both possess the Flying Thunder God Technique, which can shorten the search time."

Uchiha Kei patted Uchiha Izuna on the shoulder, "Next, we'll need your help, teacher."

Uchiha Izuna nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, teacher, I'll go and inform Tobirama right away!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.

Only Uchiha Kei, Itachi, and the long-silent Uchiha Madara remained in the room.

"What are you thinking about, Madara?"

Uchiha Kei glanced at Madara with suspicion.

Madara raised his head, his eyes revealing undisguised fighting spirit. "Master, is the person who sealed you very strong?"

"Powerful?"

Jiang Hao's figure flashed through his mind, his ghostly speed and his natural swordsmanship.

"I wouldn't say it's strong, I'd only say it's... terrifying!"

Uchiha Kei took a breath and slowly revealed the fear in his heart.

Although he's been unwilling to admit it, Jiang Hao is ridiculously strong.

If he were to face him again, Uchiha Kei didn't know if he would still have the courage to raise the sword in his hand.

"Hiss!"

Uchiha Itachi gasped, his face filled with extreme shock.

He could see the subtle fear on Jing's face.

What could instill fear in Jingdu was...

What kind of monster is this?!

The man with the freckles looked surprised for a moment, but then recovered.

"No matter how strong they are, they will eventually fall into my hands!"

Madara's eyes were extremely bright as he looked at Uchiha Kei.

Uchiha Kei gave a wry smile.

My own student...

He really is a born battle maniac.

In terms of confidence, he is far inferior.

But...

Uchiha Kei walked to the door and looked up at the azure sky.

As if looking through the sky, Uchiha Kei saw a face smiling at him.

Jiang Hao...

Someday...

We'll meet again!

In the Dark Space, at the moment he lost consciousness.

Jiang Hao said the same thing!
