Chapter 36 : Soul Seal

After indulging in a full day of bathing and various other leisure activities, we emerged from our private sanctuary and rejoined the company of our companions. Engaging with them, we discussed upcoming events and matters of importance, sharing our thoughts and plans.

During our conversation, I broached a subject of significance. "In thirty to forty years, the day will arrive when the Uchiha clan might attempt to manipulate you," I began, addressing the potential challenges that lay ahead. With a purpose in mind, I provided them with a valuable technique, one that could potentially safeguard them from danger.

"I've shared with you a cloning technique that we can utilize," I continued, explaining the strategy I had devised. "When the time comes, I suggest you create clones of yourselves using this technique. Send these clones in different directions to perform your usual activities."

The plan was straightforward but effective. By deploying clones of themselves, they could maintain their presence and activities without risking their actual selves. It was a preemptive measure to counter any attempts by external forces to control or capture them. This way, they could continue to thrive while keeping their true identities safe from harm.

As they created their clones, I enhanced the technique with additional seals that would enable the clones to restore their chakra after usage and prevent them from dissipating prematurely. They nodded in agreement, satisfied with the precautions we were taking. Each of them set off to their preferred locations, ready to implement the plan we had discussed.

With the clones engaged, I returned to my original form, resuming my usual state. The conversation shifted to our impending plan, a strategy that held the promise of reshaping the dynamics of the world around us. Shukaku's words resonated, capturing the essence of our intentions perfectly. "Soon our plan will be set in motion, and we'll have the opportunity to observe the intricacies of human behavior and their inherent contradictions," I responded, a wry chuckle escaping me.

As the dialogue continued, I revealed the progress I had made on the various aspects of the plan. "The seals are progressing well, but they require careful crafting, especially those involving space-time manipulation. I'm also dedicating time to studying the intricacies of the dimension," I explained, offering insight into the ongoing efforts to prepare for the forthcoming changes. Space and time are pretty vast topics, encompassing every fiber of space around us and the way space works as the fibers bend and create dimensions which are everywhere but cannot be seen to the naked eye, one can set various restrictions on their dimension which keeps them safe.

We decided to exercise patience and await the formation of all the great villages. It was our intention to let Hashirama and Madara's legacy spread across the lands before our plan was set in motion. As time continued to pass, we found ourselves immersed in a comfortable routine. We laughed at each other's antics, shared moments of leisure, and gradually, our camaraderie grew even stronger. The days were filled with training, relaxation, and the joy of being in each other's company.

Their training also took a new direction. Often, they would send their clones to train while spending time with me, a strategy that I encouraged as it allowed them to improve their taijutsu skills through their clones. It was a practical approach that allowed them to refine their abilities efficiently.

The years seemed to slip away unnoticed, blending into one another. Twenty years flew by in what felt like the blink of an eye. As I gazed at the moon, its tranquil presence served as a backdrop for my reflections. Looking back on all that had transpired during these years, I felt a sense of accomplishment and growth. With the completion of the seal drawing near, I also revealed that I had created an additional seal—a soul seal—that would play a significant role in our upcoming plan.

My fingers danced through the air, tracing an intricate pattern that formed on my fingertips. I stared at the pattern in awe, for it was a creation that had come about accidentally. Originally intended to be a slave seal, this formation had taken on a unique function—one that could connect and intertwine fragments of the soul, forging a bond that extended beyond the boundaries of individual beings.

I marveled at the concept that had unfolded before me. The seal could establish connections between one person and others, forging a deep and profound bond that was both powerful and intricate. This bond would allow us to share aspects of our souls, creating an unbreakable link that went beyond the surface. Our lives and deaths would become interwoven; if one of us were to die, the repercussions would be felt by all connected parties. However, the connection could be severed by any party involved, but at a great cost to the soul and accompanied by unbearable pain.

In addition to the life-and-death connection, this seal granted us the ability to sense each other's emotions and thoughts that were voluntarily shared. It was a profound form of connection that transcended mere words, allowing us to truly understand one another on a level that surpassed the physical realm.

As I held this newfound creation in my mind, I couldn't help but see the potential it held for our plan. It could serve as a symbol of our unity, a representation of our shared purpose and determination. With this seal, we could ensure that our objectives were aligned, that our thoughts and emotions were in sync. It was a powerful tool that would solidify our bond, even in the face of the challenges that lay ahead.
