Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Formation of the Defense Space
With the help of Yamata-no-Orochi, Reiji used the seal to contain every patch of stone and earth.
Although the patches were not perfect, the walls and ceiling now appeared more stable.
After more than an hour of work, Reiji finally stopped, took a deep breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Reiji looked around the room with a sense of satisfaction, despite his fatigue.
The large holes had now been closed, and although there were still small cracks, the basement was sturdy enough to be used again.
"Hah! It's done," Reiji said with a tired smile. He turned and looked at Orochi, who was hovering silently in the corner of the room. "See? I managed to finish it. Even though you kept complaining, I still succeeded."
Orochi snorted loudly but said nothing.
Reiji took the storage scroll containing the chakra ink that had been given to him by Anbu, and he walked to the center of the room.
This time, Reiji began to carefully draw a large seal, ensuring that every detail was perfect.
This was the same seal that Reiji had used before—the seal that had failed and caused a massive explosion.
However, this time, Reiji would not make the same mistake.
Step by step, line by line, the seal began to take shape.
Reiji focused all his concentration, recalling his previous mistakes and carefully avoiding them.
Yamata-no-Orochi, usually chatty, was now silent, as if it knew that this moment was very important for Reiji.
In the silence of the cold basement, Reiji worked with full confidence. "This time, I will succeed," Reiji whispered softly, but with determination.
Reiji sat on the dark basement floor, the dim light from the oil lantern dancing on the stone walls.
Reiji's fingers moved slowly, drawing intricate patterns with special ink mixed with a small portion of his chakra.
Ancient seals began to form on the surface of the floor, each connected by intricate lines like a spider's web enveloping the entire room.
Sweat dripped from Reiji's temples as he completed the last line.
Reiji's breath was heavy, and he paused for a moment to observe his work.
His eyes swept over every detail of the pattern, searching for any mistakes that might have been overlooked.
However, everything seemed perfect—at least on the surface. Even so, the feeling of worry hanging in Reiji's chest did not subside.
Several hours had passed since Reiji began, and fatigue started to gnaw at his body.
But time was not on Reiji's side.
If he failed again, he would need more time to recreate it.
"It has to work this time," Reiji muttered hoarsely, as if convincing himself.
Reiji slowly rose, his hands trembling.
Carefully, he stood in the center of the seal pattern and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm his mind.
"Alright, focus, Reiji. Focus..."
Reiji brought his palms together, forming a complex hand seal, then placed his hands on the floor.
Chakra began to gather, pulsing slowly like a river flowing through Reiji's body.
A momentary doubt crossed Reiji's face, but he quickly dispelled it.
This was not the time to be afraid.
"Fuinjutsu: Formation of the Defense Space!" The words echoed in the silent basement, and instantly, the entire room began to tremble.
The patterns that Reiji had drawn glowed with a bluish-green light, ancient characters shining like mystical flames.
A flow of chakra began to surge from Reiji's body into the seal, penetrating the floor like roots seeking the earth.
Formation of the Defense Space.
One of the basic Fuinjutsu often used to seal a room.
Its purpose was simple yet important—protecting the room from external attacks, absorbing shocks from within, and maintaining structural stability.
This Fuinjutsu might not be a match for the Formation of the Four Red Yangs, the legendary seal capable of containing the power of the Juubi used by the Four Kage in the Fourth Ninja World War, but for Reiji, it was enough to get started.
