After hearing Seiki's words, everyone silently nodded.
As the elites of their respective villages, they naturally understood the importance of cooperation. Even without Seiki mentioning it, they would have started organizing the Allied Ninja Forces themselves.
However, establishing the official charter for the Allied Ninja Forces wasn't something that could be decided on the spot. They needed to return to their villages first and hold discussions with everyone involved.
Thus, after briefly discussing several key points, they stopped talking further.
Onoki spoke first, "Lord Seiki, we'll trouble you with setting up the seals."
Seiki slightly nodded, "Please don't resist."
With that, a small black dot shot from the tip of his index finger at lightning speed and lightly tapped each person present.
"It's done!"
At Seiki's words, many hadn't even realized what had happened.
"Eh? That's it?"
"What just happened?"
Xianglin muttered softly, "What amazing sealing technique! I can't even find a direction to break it! Moreover, the nature of this seal is benign. Those under the same seal can communicate freely with each other. If someone tries to leak this information outside, they'll simply temporarily forget it, without any punitive consequences."
It wasn't just her—every village's sealing experts who specialized in this art were secretly shaken. The effects of this seal could be described as extremely powerful!
Logically, such a powerful sealing technique should at least be S-rank. That this person had instantly placed seals on all of them simultaneously was simply beyond their comprehension!
Seiki quietly took in everyone's reactions with a knowing gaze. He knew this seal created with [Truth-Seeking Balls] was at least one or two levels above the current sealing system, so naturally it wouldn't be easy to break.
"Besides the sealing itself, this mark also allows everyone to understand each other's thoughts instantly, transmitting information and intelligence across any distance on the battlefield—it's just my compensation for imposing this seal on you all."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and thrilled at the same time—immediately testing it out.
"No way, it's actually working!"
"Tsuchikage bastard, can you hear me?"
"Lord Raikage moron, shut your trap!"
"I request an additional function to block stupid people!"
The great ninja villages had similar communication methods, but most required special tools and came with a ton of limitations. This seal? Totally different league—it's freakin' convenient!
Realizing this, many felt a pang of guilt—ashamed for doubting Seiki's intentions earlier.
Beyond that, they felt even greater shock.
This leader from a parallel universe not only possessed formidable strength, but also extraordinary techniques. Just one simple sealing technique completely baffled them!
"Everyone should return and properly digest today's information. That's it—dismissed!" Seiki said habitually.
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
After responding together, everyone instinctively walked outward. A few steps later, they suddenly realized—they had unknowingly accepted Seiki as their leader!
"Truly a leader from a parallel world; this kind of leadership ability is terrifying!" Onoki mused internally.
Meanwhile, Raikage felt a surge of embarrassment and irritation, "Have I really subconsciously accepted him as my superior?!"
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Naruto approached, rubbing his chest and said, "Brother Seiki, I think I'm sick!"
"Yeah yeah, Brother Seiki, please quickly check Naruto. I examined him earlier but couldn't find anything wrong!" Sakura said, slightly embarrassed. She had even suspected earlier that Naruto vomited because of what she said!
Naruto raised his hand and said, "Actually, it just happened a moment ago. I feel much better now!"
Sakura said nervously, "Could it be that Obito the bastard did this? Isn't he trying to capture Naruto? Maybe it was him..."
Seiki smiled, "I've got it figured out."
"Eh? Brother Seiki, you figured it out so fast?" Sakura's voice faltered, then she looked at Seiki with admiration and reverence.
She had examined him for so long without finding anything, but her senior brother immediately spotted the issue. No wonder he's known as the strongest medical ninja in the parallel world, even surpassing Lady Tsunade!
"Sasuke, come over here for a second." Seiki waved his hand, calling over Sasuke, who was pretending to eavesdrop with his ears perked up.
Upon hearing Seiki's voice, Sasuke quickly shifted his gaze to the distance, pretending he just noticed being called, then nodded slightly with a reserved and cold expression.
Others might not notice his small action, but Xianglin, who was watching Sasuke closely, definitely noticed, instantly feeling anxious in her heart.
Could it be that Sasuke was secretly paying attention to someone else, and the person was most likely... that girl named Sakura?
When Sasuke approached, both Naruto and Sakura happily greeted him.
However, Sasuke completely ignored Sakura's presence, walking directly to Naruto and smugly lifting his chin, "I heard you participated in stopping Pain. I thought you had become much stronger, but never expected you'd be betrayed by someone like that!"
Sakura felt a bit sad and withdrew her right hand, but soon brightened again. As long as Sasuke was back, everything would be okay!
Yet this scene nearly shocked Xianglin!
Could it be that the person Sasuke secretly paid attention to wasn't Sakura?
Then who was the person...
Naruto awkwardly scratched his head, "I don't even know what happened?"
Sasuke snorted coldly, "Such a lowlife could make you..."
Seiki interrupted, "Sasuke, please bring out Itachi's eyes for a moment."
Sasuke hesitated slightly, but recalling the situation about the Uchiha clan in the parallel world that Seiki vaguely mentioned earlier, he pondered briefly before taking out the glass bottle and handing it to Seiki.
The three people behind him were greatly surprised. They all knew how cold-hearted Sasuke could be deep down, so they didn't expect him to trust a complete stranger so easily!
Everyone's attention shifted to the bottle. Naruto's eyes widened. He pressed his chest and started dry heaving.
"Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Sakura wanted to approach and check him, but Seiki held her shoulder.
"Don't move. Just let him vomit it out."
Hearing Seiki's words, Sakura and Sasuke both calmed down.
Then, they saw a crow with a crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan on its left eye fly out of Naruto's mouth.
"A Sharingan? A Puppet: Corpse Crow?" Sasuke's expression slightly changed as he looked down at the eye inside the glass bottle.
"Whew~ Finally got that out... But why a Puppet: Corpse Crow?" Naruto looked puzzled at the bird perched on Seiki's shoulder before suddenly realizing, "I remember now! This is the power Itachi gave me — the power to stop Sasuke, and at the same time, to protect him!"
"Stop me? Protect me?" Sasuke's face twisted in anger. "That guy always throws me into nightmares, then shows up spouting flowery promises after I wake up — what's that supposed to mean?"
"Sasuke..." the group looked at him with concern.
Only Suigyuu, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, muttered, "So that means it wasn't Obito Uchiha who betrayed him after all. Then the trash Sasuke just mentioned must be..."
Sasuke suddenly whipped his head around, his icy glare forcing Suigyuu to raise his hands in surrender. "I didn't say anything — you didn't hear anything!"
Sasuke took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Thanks to Suigyuu's little interruption, he couldn't even keep being angry anymore.
