Chapter 534: Chapter 534: The Passing Scene, Reiki’s Obsession
Between the realms of time and space, Reiki found himself stepping into the unknown.
"You're here," a familiar voice greeted him.
Standing before him was Gujia, the pink-haired entity he had encountered during his first visit to this realm, alongside Chodori. Floating nearby was Al, the green-haired companion, who gave him a knowing smile.
"Ah," Reiki responded, bowing slightly. "Master Gujia, I heard the Sage wanted to see me. Is there something special I need to know?"
Chodori had been vague before disappearing, leaving him with no details other than that the Sage was expecting him.
"The intentions of the Sage are not ours to question," Gujia replied calmly. "Chodori is currently handling other matters. For now, it's our task to guide you."
"You are the first among the inheritors to meet the Sage," she added, her tone tinged with subtle pride.
"Climb on," she instructed, transforming into a long pink dragon that coiled gracefully before him.
Reiki nodded, climbing onto her back. Gujia raised her head, creating a vortex of energy. Without hesitation, they entered the swirling portal and vanished.
The Passing Scenes
Reiki's surroundings transformed into a cascade of shifting images. It was as if he were swimming through the endless river of time, with scenes from countless worlds playing out around him.
"This is incredible…" Reiki murmured, his gaze locked on the fleeting visions. The images felt strangely familiar, triggering a sense of déjà vu he couldn't ignore.
"These are not the histories of the ninja world," Gujia's voice cut through his thoughts. "Pay them no mind. They hold no meaning for you."
Reiki's eyes widened. "Not the ninja world?" he echoed. "Then… these are from another world?"
His mind reeled as a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. Among the passing images were glimpses of Earth—his Earth.
Could this really be Earth?
The possibility planted a seed in Reiki's mind, which quickly grew into an obsession. If these worlds were truly connected, then perhaps there was a way back.
The Sage Mountain
The cascade of scenes abruptly stopped, freezing in place. A moment later, they shattered like glass, scattering into fragments. Before Reiki's eyes loomed an impossibly tall mountain, radiating a terrifying pressure that weighed down on him like an ocean.
Even with Gujia shielding him, Reiki found it nearly impossible to stand upright. His legs trembled under the immense force.
"This… such overwhelming pressure," he muttered, trying in vain to lift his head. But the unseen force pressing down on him made it impossible.
"This is the test," Gujia said, her voice trembling slightly. Even she was visibly affected, her body quivering under the weight of the presence emanating from the mountain.
"Test? What test?" Reiki asked, his voice strained.
"Whether you can meet the Sage depends on you," Gujia replied.
Reiki glanced at her, noticing her pained expression. Even Gujia is struggling... he thought.
But another thought burned in his mind—those images. If there was even a sliver of a chance that this place was connected to Earth, he had to know.
Reiki's Resolve
"No, I need to know!" Reiki shouted internally. "If this is connected to Earth, then there must be a way back. I've come too far to stop now."
The pressure intensified, testing his limits.
"Sage Mode!" he growled, activating his Sage Mode to bolster his strength. His body surged with natural energy, but it wasn't enough. He pulled out a bottle of the finest spiritual elixir and downed it in one go.
He pushed forward.
The pressure doubled, slamming Gujia into the ground. She let out a sharp cry, unable to shield Reiki any longer.
Reiki fell to the ground, anger flaring as he watched Gujia struggle.
"No! You brought me here, and now I'm being held back!" he growled.
Determined, Reiki began pulling out potion after potion:
The Ultimate Strengthening Potion to fortify his body. The Ultimate Recovery Potion to restore his endurance. The Ultimate Energy Potion to maintain his chakra flow.
The potions worked in tandem, allowing Reiki to draw on strength beyond his usual capacity.
The Power of the Tailed Beasts
"Tailed Beast Mode!"
Reiki accessed the chakra of the nine tailed beasts within him, forming a protective chakra cloak. Symbols of magatama appeared on his back, and his strength surged exponentially.
The pressure, though overwhelming, no longer felt insurmountable.
The Voice of Temptation
As Reiki climbed to his feet, a voice resonated in his mind.
"Lower your head and accept my power. You will become my inheritor, reaching heights beyond your imagination."
The voice was alluring, yet it carried a sinister undertone. Reiki's vision blurred momentarily as doubt crept into his heart.
"Reiki!"
"Stand tall! We're with you!"
The voices of the tailed beasts broke through the fog in his mind. The bond they shared reignited his resolve.
Breaking Through
"Yes, I will rise!" Reiki roared, planting his feet firmly on the ground.
The earth beneath him cracked, and the air vibrated with the force of his determination. Slowly but surely, he began lifting his head.
The mountain loomed before him, unyielding in its grandeur. But Reiki's will was stronger.
With every step, every breath, and every ounce of his being, he pushed forward. No matter how towering the mountain, no matter how terrifying the road, he would face it.
This was his obsession: to find answers, to connect the worlds, and to overcome any challenge in his path.
At this moment, Reiki's spirit burned brighter than ever, a beacon of defiance against the impossible.
