_________________________

In the outside entrances of the seal door, you could see me (Gaman AKA Dante) standing still with closed eyes and a smile on my face.

On the other side of the door, 50-armed personal with two men and one woman at the front door waiting for battle.

You could see the clan guards' nervousness with cold sweats on their faces.

In front of them a clan head and his son and daughter with grim expressions look on their faces as they waited for the individual with a monster spiritual pressure coming for them.

The spiritual pressures that alert them even in the sealed space, which could damp spiritual energy so much that nobody can feel anything from the outside space.

And somehow, they could fell that spiritual pressure which could crush anything inside seal space with ease.

Nevertheless, even if they could not feel any hostility from that spiritual pressure that they waited for.

Every second was like years upon years of waiting, aging and struggling to even stand still with sheer will and next second and the next.

On that moment for the first time in their life with just standing there, they somehow start to purifying and upsurge of their willpower.

And with willpower of their soul, they purified of their spiritual energy as its surge then their own spiritual pressure increases and collectively try to nullify other side pressure.

After five minutes growing to the limit yet still nothing changes for them. And in that exact moment the door slowly opened and with a split-second after that the pressure was gone.

It like everything was an illusion and their imagination, but on the other side of the door, it was me that stood there with my eyes close which I slowly opened them and with that first gaze everything was changed.

Clan head: "who are you and how can you open Shiba clan blood seal, only member of Shiba clan could open seal."

Dante: "So this is an introduction or interrogation because if it was an introduction, it would be bad manners to ask someone name without giving your own name and if it was interrogation.

Then I will give you clue to how I open that blood seal door, if a seal can only be opened by the Shiba clan then that answers your question, it does. Doesn't it."

Everybody even if they know it becomes flabbergasted with a comical open mouth and could not process all the information.

Clan head: 'Shiba blood seal door only can be opened by Shiba clan members but all clan members are accounted for and if he tells the truth and he is new he shouldn't have that much spiritual power, so am I missing something? Even if he is enemy, we couldn't win this fight so I should determine who he is'

"You have to excuse me for bad manner as you put it, my name is Atsushi Shiba head of main noble clan and to my right is my son Asuka and to my left is my daughter Haruna"

After the introduction I looked at their eyes and all I could see was fear of the unknown so with a disarming friendly smile I said "my name is Gaman Shiba and nice to finally meet you after so many years being absent.

After coming back, I found that my clan were hunted down by our own retainer's clan that we put in charge of government administrations.

We did that so we could do the more important job like sealing all the access points of different worlds so the reincarnation circle could go on.

And so, the hollow souls and damned souls could not go there and also life again could started to flourish.

But after 1,000 years, I came back and found that my clan was on the verge of extinction. Only one of the clan branches survives and they calling themselves the main clan."

With every word I spoke my dominants went from friendly to rage and cold fury and as my pressure again started to rise so much that they couldn't breathe but after I stopped my monologue, I also stopped releasing pressure and they looked at him with widen eyes.

Clan head: 'if he really is who says he is we could turn the table in soul city and central 46.'

"Great elders, we welcome you back to your home."

After the Shiba clan head, the clan members repeat after him and welcome back their great elder.

And just like that look of their eyes change from fears of the unknown to hope of the future that I will provide for them.

Each has different desires, some to get a venges, some for better future, some for gaining power, and other to getting better opportunity in their life.

Therefore, after guiding their great elder to the main building and sitting around the table, maids serve them the tea and after some quiet time, I start to ask and the inquiry about the clan.

Then my title changed from clan head or clan heir to clan great elder in my plan and after my interrogation of clan head I started to change my plan for possible future as I become the most powerful butterfly in this universe.

From my inquiry I received news about a Few hundred years ago a foreign and wanderer blacksmith started his business and smith a spiritual sword for the government which after a few years Shihoin noble clan with smithing specialty took that blacksmith to their clan.

With their help he created the first Asauchi.

But there was a problem with his creation as he couldn't send part of a user's soul to their Asauchi and make it real spiritual weapons so they needed to have put some seal in the sword so when somebody used the Asauchi, it starts to take shape after the user's soul.

And only the shiba clan had a specialty in seal art, so for every Asauchi that they built a shiba clan member must put a seal on it.

Shihoin clan did not want to split the credit for Asauchi so they first make deal with that black smith and give their key in soul king to him, relocated him and his forge to soul palace, and make him (Ōetsu Nimaiya) second royal guard after the monk.

The Tsunayashiro Clan's only specialty was war strategy and spying, so they came up with a plan to take shiba clan place and their seal.

They bribe and blackmail central 46 to kill all shiba clan members and take all their seal technique from them.

but after stealing the seals they find out that shiba clan has made a plan to give special seal for Asauchi free of charge to Shihoin clan as jester of good will to betterment of soul realm.

so, they can mass produce Asauchi and other seal that they stole had a blood seal on them so only shiba clan member can use them and learn from them so Tsunayashiro Clan gain nothing but they make their sole mission to hunt down all shiba clan and put a bounty on every shiba clan member head for their lost.' to be continued.

WAGING WAR

Therefore, in chariot fighting, when ten or more chariots have been taken, those should be rewarded who took the first. Our own flags should be substituted for those of the enemy, and the chariots mingled and used in conjunction with ours. The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.

This is called, using the conquered foe to augment one's own strength.

In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.

Thus, it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people's fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril.
