Soon, the Leyline, which had condensed into solid form, was stopped by the barrier formed by the sealing formula.
The film-like barrier trembled, but ultimately withstood the Leyline's impact. Oto Uchiha's eyes also began to spin, taking on the form of the Mangekyō Sharingan as she gradually activated her dojutsu.
Zou Hyuga did not let his guard down. He approached Queen Sara and said quietly, "Your Majesty, please help us control the Leyline. If it goes berserk, none of us may get out alive."
Queen Sara nodded. She could feel the Leyline's agitation and understood why they had brought her here.
For generations, the royal line of Rōran had maintained a contract with the Leyline, allowing them to control it to a certain extent.
Compared to the elusive Leyline, she cared more about her people's present lives.
If she did not cooperate, the two ninja before her might slaughter every last one of her subjects.
Sensing her faint connection with the Leyline, Queen Sara tried to soothe it. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she staggered back several steps, nearly falling to the ground.
Zou Hyuga noticed this and frowned. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Leyline?"
The shaken queen steadied herself and said uncertainly, "The Leyline is much weaker than it used to be. It's crying to me-or rather, asking for help!"
As the Queen of Roran, bound to the Leyline by contract, she could sense its condition and communicate with it.
The Leyline was not without intelligence; it was simply as naive as a child. At that moment, it was asking the Queen of Roran for help.
"The Leyline has grown weaker, and it's asking for help?" Zou Hyuga sank into thought.
He had originally assumed that chakra comparable to a tailed beast's was the Leyline's limit.
