"Natsuki!"
"Lord Natsuki!"
"Clan Head!"
"Senior!"
"Ahahahaha, it's Natsuki..."
Everyone lit up with joy. Natsuki had actually returned.
Haku's first reaction was to happily throw her arms around Natsuki. Then, as if remembering something, she gloomily let go.
Haku's expression did not escape Natsuki's notice.

What mattered was the issue Meishiki had revealed—the awakening of the Planetary Consciousness.
Natsuki carefully examined Madara's bodily energy and found that it had increased considerably as well.
By his estimation, it was still far from reaching his current level.
