[Jiraiya]: Ahem… Nagi, you shouldn't say it like that. You should believe that Naruto in that world will definitely change the fate of the Hyuga clan.
[Nagi]: Whether Naruto changes it or not, I don't know. But Lord Hiashi has been working hard to change it. Perhaps the Hiashi of that world will succeed. Unfortunately… the Neji of that world won't live to see that day.
[Hiashi Hyuga]: Sigh… Neji, Hizashi… I'm sorry.
[Hizashi Hyuga]: Big brother, this isn't your fault. It's the cruelty of the system itself.
[Neji Hyuga]: Lord Hiashi, please don't worry. We already know about your efforts.
The Screen Continues…
After several more exchanges, Nagi and Shibai stepped back simultaneously.
At that moment, Shibai took out a small flag.
Seeing the object, Nagi's expression turned serious.
"What a strong… sinister aura."
Shibai waved the flag while chanting an incantation:
"Dissolve the mortal body, release ghosts and gods, serve my will—summon!"
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring the Heart!"
As the flag waved, cracks suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.
Within those cracks were countless dark silhouettes with glowing red eyes.
Soon, clawed hands and monstrous heads began emerging from the rifts…
Moments later, the area was filled with bizarre and sinister creatures.
Chat Discussion
[Naruto Uzumaki]: Wh-What are those?! Why do they look so terrifying?
[Ōnoki]: Hmm… they resemble evil entities like Satori or even Jashin.
[Minato Namikaze]: So… monsters?
[Orochimaru]: Extremely sinister—and quite powerful as well.
[Isshiki Ōtsutsuki]: Summoning an entire demon army in an instant… I didn't expect Shibai to possess such a treasure.
[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]: Seeing this demon army conjured with a mere wave of a flag… it makes my past efforts cultivating White Zetsu seem rather laughable.
[Tobirama Senju]: Shibai can cross dimensions. It wouldn't be surprising for him to possess weapons from other worlds.
[Izuna Uchiha]: Oh? From your tone, you don't seem very worried about Nagi.
[Tobirama Senju]: Hmph. If he summoned some other army, I might be concerned. But summoning demons in front of my student? That's completely pointless.
Soon, everyone in the ninja world understood exactly what Tobirama meant.
The Screen Continues…
Nagi stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"The Demon-Vanquishing Banner…?"
"Oh? You know it?"
Shibai looked slightly surprised that Nagi recognized the name of his treasure.
Nagi nodded.
"I know a little about it."
Then he took out a yellow talisman paper inscribed with red runes.
"If they're demons," he said calmly, "then we'll deal with them using methods meant for demons."
"Hm?"
Shibai frowned. No matter how he looked at it, the talisman seemed to contain only a faint amount of energy. Nothing particularly remarkable.
But just because he couldn't see anything special didn't mean the demons couldn't.
Every demon suddenly revealed expressions of fear, as if they had encountered their natural predator.
"What's going on?"
Shibai quickly noticed the panic spreading among the creatures he had summoned.
Before he could react, Nagi tossed the talisman into the air and began chanting:
"Demons and monsters, be gone!
Demons and monsters, be gone!
Demons and monsters—"
The yellow talisman began emitting brilliant green light.
Those green rays shot toward the demons. Suddenly, space split open, revealing a massive orange-red rift.
The rift erupted with overwhelming suction.
One by one, the surrounding demons were dragged toward the fissure.
Some tried to flee at incredible speed, but the suction seemed locked onto them. No matter where they ran, they were inevitably pulled back.
"What the hell?!"
Shibai stared in disbelief.
His demon army… was wiped out just like that?
"Damn it—now's not the time to be stunned!"
He hurriedly waved the Demon-Vanquishing Banner again, attempting to strengthen the demons' power so they could resist the pull.
But he had underestimated the natural suppression of Yin-Yang principle over demonic forces.
Even after empowering them, the demons were still completely swallowed by the rift.
"…."
With no other choice, Shibai unwillingly lowered his flag.
He understood that in this contest of artifacts, he had lost.
Nagi also recalled his talisman.
The Conversation
Shibai frowned.
"What just happened?"
This technique had always been unstoppable. Even in other dimensions, it usually gave him the upper hand.
Although it had been countered before, never this easily.
He simply couldn't understand how the Demon-Vanquishing Banner, which he had obtained with great difficulty, had been defeated by a single tiny talisman.
Nagi replied calmly:
"When the demonic path rises one foot, the Yin-Yang principle rises ten."
"Mr. Shibai… evil will never defeat justice."
Shibai's expression stiffened, forcing a strained smile.
"Justice? Hmph. Only the victor defines justice."
Grey-brown energy gathered in his hand as he charged toward Nagi.
Seeing this, Nagi laughed.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shibai… you're getting impatient."
Blue, water-like energy gathered in Nagi's palm as he rushed forward to meet him.
"Shut up!"
Provoked by Nagi, Shibai's anger finally erupted.
The grey-brown energy and water-blue energy collided violently.
A new round of battle began.
Chat Discussion
[Fourth Raikage A]: Wait… Shibai's demon army just disappeared like that?
[Ōnoki]: What exactly was that talisman Nagi used? How can it be so powerful?
[Nagi]: Uh… When the demonic path rises one foot, the Yin-Yang principle rises ten. That's basically the idea.
[Mei Terumi]: I don't understand a word of that.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi]: It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as he wins, that's enough.
[Kushina Uzumaki]: So this is what Lord Second meant earlier when he said demons would only suffer in front of Nagi.
[Tobirama Senju]: Exactly. No matter how powerful the demons Shibai summons are, they're useless against Nagi.
[Mabui]: Theoretically speaking, the Jashin that attacked Kumogakure earlier should also count as a demon, right? Why didn't Nagi use this move then?
[Nagi]: At that time… I probably didn't truly understand the meaning of "Dao," so I hadn't learned this technique yet.
[Tobirama Senju]: Uh… Nagi.
[Nagi]: Yes, Teacher?
[Tobirama Senju]: If I remember correctly, the greater the Yang energy, the stronger this technique becomes, right?
[Nagi]: That's correct.
[Tobirama Senju]: The version of you on the screen is still a pure Yang body. I wonder… will the technique still be as powerful after you get married?
[Nagi]: Uh… it should still work.
[Tobirama Senju]: Oh? You've already found a solution?
[Nagi]: Technology is advancing. Times are changing, Teacher.
[Tobirama Senju]: …
So… do you actually have a solution or not?
